Speaker 1 (00:00):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up on
this Thursday edition, we got somebody in the NFL that
apparently thinks everybody is dumb. They think everybody's just going
to buy into whatever story they are selling.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We will have that conversation for you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We're also going to talk about the eye tie shots
of expresso for everybody as Italy helps the US advance
in the World Baseball Classic. We're going to talk about
a carrying your Wife contest in England that sounds like
a lot of fun, but maybe the payout is not
all that's cracked up to be. We're going to have
a conversation about the quarterback situation in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Apparently they found their guy, and boy.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Oh boy, is Daniel Jones made a hell of a
living for himself. We will have a discussion about what
your holiday week could look like and how the NFL
is trying to take that over. Plus, we've got Albert
Breer and we've got the leftovers.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's all yours.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Coming up next here, It's two Pros and a Cup
of Joe on a Thursday, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh Hell Yeah, two pros and a cup of Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
No LeVar Arrington, Dan p D suspensions. Ban just can't
get rid of them for whatever reason. So we'll be
catching up with Sticks after the weekend. He's got these
last three days of this week off and then we'll
be rocking and rolling on a Monday. But here on
this Thursday, you can listen to us as always on.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
You can find us on hundreds of affiliates all across
the country. We are going to take you live all
the way up until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific.
If you're listening on the podcast, we appreciate you doing so.
And Brady Quinn, how the hell we feel in here
on this Thursday morning.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I'm feeling great, but we're also trying to discern what
the hell's happened in the NFL over this free agency
period with Trey Hendrickson, Max Crosby, the Ravens, because I
feel like there's some people lying. I'm just laid out
there like this. I feel like there's some people who
are making up some bs and then they're.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Lying to us.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's so shady that it's hilarious that people just pass
this off as the story and the reason and the
logic behind the moves that they make and then just
assume that everybody's just going to buy into it, or
they just think he listen even if you don't.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Whatever is what it is.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And when the games start next year, nobody's really going
to be talking about this. It's just the Yeah, the
whole thing is wild, man. It is a crazy turn
of events in Baltimore. Of course, right after we go
off the area yesterday, the announcement comes down the Trey
Hendrickson is now the brand new pass rusher of the
Baltimore Ravens. I'm assuming that he passed his physical and
(02:56):
everything's on the up and up there. But Trey Hendrickson
gets a four year deal one hundred and twelve million
dollars could be worth up to one hundred and twenty
million dollars sixty million guaranteed, twenty million dollars at signing,
so he does get on that front. Trey Hendrickson's been
looking for this deal from Cincinnati, wasn't able to get
it done, but he does stay in the division and
(03:16):
at least locks up his long term deal that he's
been looking for for the past couple of years.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So good for him.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, I think for Ravens fans too.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Look, you find yourself a pass rusher guy who's been
really productive.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Henderson didn't play as much last year.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It was a bid banged up, but you know, you
go back through the previous four or five years before that,
he's been a wrecking ball on passing down.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
So that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
And if you're concerned about, you know, the Max Crosby thing,
the reality is they can still probably use the draft
capital to go get another edge rusher. Ifted Like, if
that's really you know what you're trying to hone in
on this offseason defensively, Eric Tacosta.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Can do that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I just I hate what they are perpetuating because I
think they're a little concerned about the perception of how
this went down when they basically used a physical to
back out of the deal.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
As I said yesterday before we got off.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The show, they knew Max Crosby had surgery, they knew
what the injury was. It wasn't like they're blind to
all of it, and you're gonna tell me that it
took them to have their doctor see it to then say, well,
short term, we feel good about it, but long term
not so much. I don't buy any of it. I
think they realized they could get an edge rusher for
(04:32):
cheaper that could be probably just as impactful, and they're
probably looking at it saying, yeah, we feel just as
comfortable with either guy. If we can get one cheaper,
so be it. And that's what it came down to.
But they can't admit that. It's obviously something that the
NFL teams have done in the past, but they're not
gonna be able to admit.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That it's a pass rusher who knows the division, he
knows the offenses in the division. He's there's familiarity there.
You know that he's try Andrickson's a little bit older.
But productivity like productivity, they're about the same when you
look at the numbers, you know their per game values.
Some people argue that Trey Hendrickson's not as good against
(05:11):
the run, whatever, but yeah, it does feel like they
were like, you know what, maybe we could get something
done with Trey Hendrickson and we haven't signed on the
dotted line yet for this trade and if we could
just keep that fourteenth overall pick is looking nice. We
could just upgrade at the offensive line there and go
get ourselves a new center. And yeah, we don't have
to actually go through with this at all and keep
our word. We don't have to be honest at all.
(05:34):
We could just go back on the deal and everybody's
gonna walk away happy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And that's what it appears like it was.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And then Eric DaCosta, of course, yesterday, the GM of
the Baltimore Ravens, they called a press conference and he
talked about firstly, the perception sort of the feeling that
you and I have and I think a lot of
people have following the Trey Hendrickson signing and all that
that maybe things weren't on the up and up and
they didn't handle this the right way. He talked about
(06:02):
that and then also said that, you know, the goal
was not just Trey Hendrickson, but also Max Crosby.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Things just didn't work out.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
I mean, I understand it, you know, I understand it.
We live in that age of skepticism and people question,
especially people that don't really know me or know the
Ravens culture and the Ravens organization so I understand it.
As I said at the beginning, We've got a responsibility.
I've got a responsibility to the Ravens, to this community,
to our fans, and to Steve Bushatti to do what
we think is best for the club. That's what we
(06:32):
always try to do. Every decision we make is based
on this idea, is this the best thing for the Ravens.
Very very challenging. Again, I understand how people might, maybe
from a far would feel that way, but nobody is
more upset about this than me guided by it actually,
and so a regret, a big regret for me. But
we will move on as a football team, and I
(06:54):
think there's many many opportunities for us to grow as
a team, to become a better team, to build a roster,
and to be the team that we want to be.
In terms of Trey, we came to a point probably
after we lost Tyler, where as we're trying to find
the best way for us to get better as a
football team, Trey kind of made a lot of sense
as a possible guy to look at. So we started
some discussions with he and his agent, thinking that potentially
(07:17):
we have two pass rushers on the defensive line, on
both sides of the line. Again, I think it was
disappointing to us and probably in a way, you know,
disappointing probably the tray as well.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I just I love it. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I love the Everybody knows that I'm not telling the truth,
but I'm still going with it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'm just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So what he's trying to say is one had nothing
to do with the other. The ultimate dream for them
was that they were going to have both of those guys,
that they were going to have Trey Hendrickson and Max Crosby.
Just coincidentally enough, once one fell through, the other one
got done and finalized.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's really what he's trying to say.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Sure, and because they've got the cap space and the
money to be able to pay one guy. What was
the deal for Crosby About one hundred and sixteen million
in total, Yeah, thirty five and a half per year,
and then turn around inside Trey Hendrickson for thirty a year.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, that happens all.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
The time in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, that was you know, money grows on trees were fine,
No big deal. There's not a salary cap or something
like that would have to navigate. So yeah, of course
they were trying to get both these guys. I mean,
Eric Dicostmus think everyone's stupid. He really, he really must
think everyone stupid. If we're supposed to buy in the
fact they're going to sign both these guys for about
(08:39):
two hundred and thirty million dollars this offseason, Like, let's
let's get real. That was never the plan. Trey Hendrickson
was probably the other option. They realized that they could
get him for a little bit cheaper, wouldn't have to
spend the draft capital, and they would still use him,
as you said, either on a center or on another
edge rusher.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Like if that was your strategy, you could.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Probably get cash as hal Kid out of text cent M,
and you could have an older veteran guy who's bringing
along the younger veteran younger rookie, and then you've got
your two edge rushers that you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So even if that was the strategy, it doesn't make.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Sense the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's just the idea that you think that that would pass,
that that would be the one that would get through.
It's like somebody walking through TSA and they've got it.
They've it's the three point four limit and they're walking
through with like a forty and it's like, dude, you
can't get through security with that, and they just with
a straight face they try and pass on through and no, no, no,
we're good here, it's in the brown bag. We're fine.
(09:38):
Everything's fine. This is a new problem, not a me problem.
Eric DeCosta trying to sell everybody. No, no, no, listen,
this is the story. This is going to pass right
by you and everybody's going to buy into it. No man, Like,
otherwise the deal with Trey Hendrickson would have already been done.
If one had nothing to do with the other, then
why did one happen right after the other one fell through?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
It?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Like, that's that's the part that I just look at
and go, all right, I guess everybody's stupid. And then,
you know, yesterday we kind of made a joke about
you know, I think it was your guy Jason Lockinfirma
Loch andfora who was reporting that. Good luck finding anybody
that's going to want to do a deal with Baltimore
and Eric Tacosta.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And then immediately Trey Hendrickson gets a deal.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, when you make a career out of basically Bashi
every Baltimore professional team.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It's going to backfire, and hopefully he was able to
confirm the tre Hendrickson deal is.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, the whole thing is is hilarious, and I think
it also illustrates the fact that, you know, it's a
cold hearted business. I don't know that this is going
to have the lasting we can't trust you impact, that
maybe he was trying to pass along and that maybe
some people feel like I really do think that ultimately
(10:57):
in about two three weeks, there'll be jokes there. We'll
make a bunch of jokes about it, but nobody's gonna care.
It's just gonna be, yeah, business as usual. It's the NFL,
and everybody goes back and they're happy.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I think what Eric Tacosta is trying to protect is
the team's power and their ability to move on from
deals or players in this situation and not have the
NFLPA throw a fuss about this. And again, the NFLPA
is not a great spot. They're obviously, as far as
a leadership standpoint, still trying to figure things out, and
(11:28):
that's what they don't want to draw attention to this
because if they do, then then all of a sudden,
you're gonna have a lot of other players with grievances, saying, well,
wait a second, you know you sign these guys, they
had these injuries that wasn't an issue, But all of
a sudden, with Max Crosby's you know, his knee that
you full well knew for probably months while you were
putting together this trade deal, what was going on.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You just didn't have imaging to it.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And once you got it, your doctor said, he's okay
the short term, but not the long term. I mean,
the explanation around it's even flimsy. It doesn't really follow
you hand in hand with what was said. So again,
this is all in an effort to protect the team's
ability to do exactly what the Baltimore Ravens did get
out of a deal by using the excuse of the
(12:11):
medical and then go find a guy and tre Hendrickson.
So look, Tree Hendrickson gets the opportunity. As you mentioned earlier,
he knows the division, he knows the Bengals, he knows
that there's value in that too, and again, not having
to give up draft capital getting that back allows them
to build back through the draft, which they've been really
good at I mean that is the majority of how
(12:34):
the Baltimore Ravens have built the roster, so it kind
of fits more. I think of what they're looking to accomplish, say,
save draft capital and you save a little bit of
money too, and it works out for everyone in the end.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Now, Max Crosby did post to his x account yesterday.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I saw that.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Yeh.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Do you think that's a little bit of vengeance? A
little bit?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I mean, now it feels like it's personal what's happened
with BALTI more.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, at least based well do you want to describe
what he put out there.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
On social This from Max Crosby, And I'll just read
it as the way Max Crosby probably thought it instead
based on the way if you've heard Max, you know talk,
and you have.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
To do the impression too.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, Okay, everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing you hear,
and half of what you see, I'm a raider, I'm
back run that s And then he's got an eagle
emoji and a pirate emoji, and then he's got the
young Undertaker walking out of a flaming casket gift. So
apparently we're just going to forget about all of the
(13:37):
stuff that has happened, All of that is forgiven, the
out and out tank job they went through at the
end of last year, all of the stuff that was
said back and forth, the bad handlings and the reports
and the I'm not happy and I want to go.
We're just going to forget all about that stuff. And
Eric DaCosta and the Ravens have now convinced that not
(13:59):
every thing is greener on the other side. And Max
Crosby's back in Las Vegas with the Raiders. We're all
good here. Everybody's see.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I was fooled into believing. And this is where social
media gets you. I just saw a plate of Skyline
chili on one of the fake posts that he had,
so I was like, oh, interesting, Maybe he's making a
message to Cincinnati, saying, all right, well, Chay Hendrickson goes
to Baltimore. Maybe now the Baltimore shunned shun Max Crosby
he wants to go to Cincinnati and he's and he's
(14:27):
portraying that with a bowl of Skyline chili.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Oh my god, what a what a disaster. I don't
think do they play Do the Raiders play the Ravens
next year? What's the what are the Raiders as that
would be Yeah, yeah, twenty twenty six opponents. Yeah, let's
see what we got here, Raiders twenty twenty six opponents.
Obviously you get your divisional opponents.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
They do not.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, that's unfortunate. Yeah, I really missed a golden opportunity there.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
But hey, that's one of those if you think the
NFL is scripted, the NFL would have found a way
to make that happen.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I mean, they are scheduled to play the Ravens in
twenty twenty seven, So if we could hold some grievances
and grudges until twenty twenty seven, this whole thing could
come full circle and we could really really make things
happen here. But that is That is the story on
the Trey Hendrickson, Eric DeCosta, Max Crossby fiasco. And I
(15:26):
don't think I don't think Trey Hendrickson is going to
apologize for getting the deal he got.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's not his problem.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I mean, you sign what you sign, and he's been
looking for that deal for a while and now he's
going to stay in the division and get after Joe
Burrow for the next couple of years.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
So it's a bit surprising with his age.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I mean, that's the one thing I look at and say,
like for again, this goes back to the Cincinnati Bengals
organization not ever really wanting to give him this sort
of deal, but now the Ravens are willing to at
what they're thirty one years old. I mean, edge rushers
have been able to play in the league, you know,
much much longer than I think what they used to,
especially as the league has become more of a passing league.
(16:03):
So that does play to his advantage. But it's just
interesting he had to go within the division to find
an organization to pay him what he wanted. For all
those Bengals fans out there who keep trying to tell
me your organization is not cheap, just one more example,
just one more example of that. All right, don't blame me,
all right, I'm just the messenger. You don't need to
shoot the messenger for blaming the Bengals for being cheap

and dominate Mexico in the WBC.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
And not even close.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, hey, maybe they're pretty in a baseball Huh I did?
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I did see it? Lists though?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Where all the uh the Italian players were born? Like
half are from the Midwest. I think one or two
they went from Florida, went from Cali. It was like, like,
what are we doing here? But I'm still is there
any I'm gonna look this up because I want to
know one of the specifics to how you decide whether
(20:38):
or not you can play for the uh the Italian team?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, what's the percentage cutoff? Like if you're at you know,
is it like twenty four and a half? Above twenty
four and a half percent are you are you considered
qualified to play for that country? Because yeah, a lot
of these guys, I mean, like Francisco Cervelli, who's the
manager of Team Italy. He was he was making the comment,
(21:04):
you know that our goal is you know that we
help grow the sport in Italy and that you know,
sooner rather than later. It's Italians who were born and
raised in Italy that are playing in this event.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Moving forward.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Okay, okay, so key eligibility criteria for Team Italy. The
player holds a valid Italian passport. So let me just
stop there for a second. I, as I said before,
we were joking about this, and I don't know if I've
told you this or not, but my father in law
(21:39):
was working on this to try to get my wife
and my brother in law an Italian passport and you
know whatever, like the dual citizenship, and he was very
intent on doing this.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Now, I do think he got fooled.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
By some online ad or like a social media ad
to think this is much easier than it actually was,
because I'm pretty sure he spent a good amount of
money on it, and I'm not sure he was ever
able to see it through. So I'm pretty sure my
father in law got scammed. But a player must hold
a valid Italian passport, which is possible and not, I guess,
(22:18):
not as easy as you think, but also maybe not
as difficult it was it was for my father in law.
There must be parental heritage, so at least one parent
has to be born in Italy or was an Italian citizen,
and then the player can provide documentation that they would
be granted Italian citizenship or a passport.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
If they applied. So this is where it gets a
little bit in the gray area.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Okay, so maybe they just got a nice itie over there,
someone to send him a letter that says.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well of course we'd give him a passport.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Now, how many those guys you think actually end up
getting the passport? After all, this is over in the
middle of the season, and I feel like, you know,
some guys might might not follow up on that. By
the way, Francisco Cervelli born in Venezuela, so he can
go a lot of different directions here, Like he could
basically pick and choose where he wants to manage moving
(23:17):
forward in the WBC. So if you're a Venezuelan team,
just know you've got somebody there who does meet the criteria.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
So just an example, and this goes back to the
twenty twenty three team, okay, that had twenty one members
that were US born on it. So the last thing
I'd say too is the if the player previously played
for Italy in a prior WBC tournament, they also can
can qualify again. So even if some of those potentially
(23:48):
change of some of these eligibility rules, as long as
they were Grandfather claused in, they're good now.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Vinnie Pasquentino, who at the three home runs, he's by
the way, he's a space in DH for the Kansas
City Royals. He spoke with John Paul Morosi. John Palmrosi
was really fired up about the items.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Should be fired up. Yeah, he would probably playing for
by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
For people that are not familiar, John Paul Morosi once
called into this show and spoke Italian on the air,
So that was that happened a couple of years back.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
But here, what can we get John pol tomorrow? Can
we just get him on to talk.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
About Oh yeah, like anything anything Italian soccer now the
World Baseball Classic. Yeah, John Paul Morosi would be be
a fun get and he'll know represent the country nicely.
And he's also one of these guys like Sirbelli that
could just go a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Different directions here.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But John Paul Morosi was catching up with Vinnie Pascuentino
and it sounded like this post.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Game, I'm caffeinated, I'm beamed up right, now, so, yeah,
we're in a good spot.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
So how many more boxes of those espresso pods are.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now on order?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
As many as we need, mean as we need, will
make it happen. So that was unbelievable. Huh, you're welcome
to USA. We were thinking of you guys over at
your hotel. We were thinking of you guys. So glad
you guys could.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Join us in the party here. So there they're all
beamed down with camaraderie.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Uh yeah, I guess because Bobby Wood Junior is this
teammate who, by the way, if anybody's never seen Bobby
Wood Junior play, guy's a stud and and so he
was joking, Yeah, I hope he leaves the leaves me
a hotel room key because they're you know.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They're buddies and putting the royals together.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But yeah, it's and then you know he's talking about
you know, I'm all beamed up. I thought, in watching
a few of those guys in the dugout that they
were faking the espresso shots.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay are they?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Are? They taking actual espresso shots? After every note shots?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
You don't shoot an espresso, what do you mean? You
drink it like anything else.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I don't know faking it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I think they're shooting it.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Dude, have you not had espresso before? Of course I'm
having it right now. No, you're drinking coffee with espresso
in it. Okay, you need to look up the process
of how it's made. Okay, but then you'll better understand.
But I'm telling you, I think those guys are are
shooting espresso.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
When I got here tonight, Monsi was still here doing
her updates, and she offered me the.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Rest of her espresso.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
She said, I got this for the Italians because every
time that they make a whatever game, she said, it's.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
A home run.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
Yeah, you take you take a shot of espresso. So
she was doing that all night, so she ain't sleeping.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It's hard to shoot something that's hot.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It looked like they were shooting it, and.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
You you love them to be shooting anything.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, well here's because here's the move. All right, So
here's the move.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
And I was unaware of this until I did it
the first time, because I thought, like, who would want
coffee after you have a full meal? But the whole
coffee answer, yeah, helps you completely settles your stomach. And well, yeah,
well look and then you got to deal with the
repercussions afterwards. But you know that's a small price to pay.
And so what I do is I'll let it sit
there for about two to three minutes and then just
(27:04):
rip it. I mean, I'm trying to mainline it. If
that if we're doing this, we're doing this.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You have no class Jonas, somebody class whatsoever?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You're You're the type of dub that it's French fries
with this chicken parm have I yeah, I've had afa.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
Gotta those are so good? Are you classy enough for
one of those? Jonas? For what an awful gatto?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
An avocado beating to the joke? Gosh, darn it, did
I steal your thunder there, Patty? I was about to say,
I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
That's right down right down his alley.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
But now that it did help the US, all right,
So the US will advance now and uh, and they
are off and running here. Now the schedule is such
to where now you've got to win, all right. Now,
there's no more helping out. You've got you've got to
win if you'd like to advance. This is uh, this
is really coming down to it. So we are going
(28:00):
to get the US and Canada Friday night, eight pm
Eastern time on We.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Just can't help ourselves finding ourselves why the match again?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Time and time again.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
They did, like they're really trying to divide the US
and Canada. But eight pm Eastern time on Friday night
on five.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
He's doing this.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's going to be But my kids went to a
women's soccer match at the Columbus Cruise Stadium. He went
to see the US women's national team take on the
Canadian women's national team, which the USA got the better
of that as well. So the USA has got a
nice little streak right now dominating Canada. I'm sorry to
all my Canadian friends out there, but that's just the
(28:42):
way it is, you know, the just facts right now.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
US, by the way, is currently on DraftKings minus eight
hundred to win that game, So they're an eight to
one favorite to beat.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Canada, which which means you're probably bet Canada, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I mean, if I can get you know, if I
can get plus money like that, like, and I love
being American. I love the US, but you know, hey,
wins a win the US. The US is favored to
win the Dominican Republic is currently second. You've got Japan
and then Venezuela there as well too, So I don't
know if you've watched Fernando Tatis and uh and those
(29:20):
guys ripping. But we talked to Petros about the celebrations
going on there.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Well, man, they have.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
A good time.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
That was that was though when he referenced it. I
think that was Puerto Rico he was talking about. Yeah,
which that was so funny as soon as as soon
as you watch the clip, you're like, yeah, this does
seem a little bit excessive, but this is what makes
it fun.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
I mean, I would say this the.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Momentum coming off of the Olympics for hockey, it has
helped I think in viewership that's been a little bit proven,
but also just that's the interest, the intrigue around it.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
And I think as a parent.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Now more than ever, I'm always looking at the impact
that has on kid ds. Like when kids come home
and they're talking about it, When kids, you know, start
talking about different sports they want to play, or you
have some of their friends over are driving carpool and
like the kids are saying like, oh, I want to
do this, and I try this. This looks so cool.
I'm thinking to myself, like, back when I was young,
you know, we didn't have stuff like this, don't. I
don't know how long the World Baseball Classic has been around. Like,
(30:19):
I love baseball just because that was what my dad
first taught me to play, you know, I was playing
t ball, throwing a baseball around, and it kind of
led to other sports, but that was my dad loved.
My dad loved baseball, and that's how things started. The
Reds were good back when I was probably what nineteen
ninety nineteen ninety one. The Indians were good after that,
and so it kind of it kept you engaged into
(30:40):
the sport because you were following teams that were playing
the World Series, or at least in the Red's case,
I guess, the winning World Series.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I'm curious to see the impact this will have on
baseball in general, because even though it does feel a
little bit manufactured, with you know, half the team or
however many players being born in the US, I.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Do think that's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
It's cool to see players and teams kind of represent
their heritage, albeit maybe not as you know, close to
the you know, their family or relatives, as one may think,
it's still fun to see what that looks like.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I also think, and this might be a little hokey
and maybe a little naive to think that people could
set aside some differences. But as we've seen, you know,
people in this country can't really get along for the
most part. Everybody's got a disagreement. Everybody's got a gripe,
whether it's political, whether it's the.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Vaccines or whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Everybody's got you're this, and you're wrong, and I'm right,
and there's no common ground. And it does feel like
stuff like this is at least where you can put
all that garbage away and you could just root for
the country, like they're not like nobody cares, who believes
in what, who's voting for what? You just want to
root for the country. And I think that's why a
(31:52):
lot of people got annoyed with some of the questions
from some of the media to the American athletes at
the Olympics, because it's like, dude, we're at the Olympics.
Why are we bringing this stuff up here? Like why
are you pointing out the flaws of the country. How
about we just celebrate athletes who are trying to win
gold for the country and just root for them. And
I think the hockey teams men's and women's did that.
(32:14):
And I think the further the US goes, I think
the more fun it is for people to watch, because
when you look at that crowd, you see fans of
all different teams just rooting for the US. They couldn't
care less that arrival from another from the same division
of the team that they root for. You just got
a base hit in an RBI. They don't care. They
just want the US to win. Yeah, I agreed, which
(32:35):
actually begs the question. Listen, are you into video games?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I mean who isn't? Well, look, celebrities or just a
good time. I'm telling you this the Global Gaming League
They've got it all. It's a video game lead with

Speaker 3 (33:00):
I'm just glad we now were able to get Neo
into that read so at least we could do. And
some people I love yours I do too. I actually
heard a song that might be my next song.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Who wouldn't know who Neo is?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Probably someone who's not a big fan of his music.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I don't know. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I don't know why anybody wouldn't be a fan of
his music. I am I know, that's for sure. By

Speaker 4 (34:39):

Speaker 6 (34:41):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing the guys are here to
bring you.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
In case you missed it.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Well, you got this, and I got something for you
and the missus because I got something that you guys
should dominate.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Might I introduce you, Brady Quinn to the annual.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Barrel of Ale wife carrying contest in England that took
place last weekend. Wives and girlfriends clinging on for dear
life as their partners carry them up and down a
hillside for the UK wife Carrying race, one of the
country's quirkiest to annual sports events. On Sunday, Timu and
(35:32):
Jetta from Finland were crowned the winners. How long would
you say the winner could carry their wife for going
up and down a hill in England? What would you say,
time wise, and you're the winners, I would say it
took them forty minutes, one minute and forty five seconds,
(35:57):
all right. One minute and forty five seconds get you
a barrel of local ale, all right, So now.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
They it was the fastest to carry them up and down.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I'm still not clear on that because it's up and
down a hill. It's just how long you can hold
on to them for is what I've read. But it
seems like that's a year. All yeah, it seems like
that's a quick way to do it now. The way
that some of these are positioned. The photo shows a
guy holding his wife, you know, almost like she was
(36:28):
going to pile drive him. He just lifted her up
over his shoulders, so legs are out in front of
his shoulders, she's hanging down his back and he's just
kind of carrying her that way. But a minute forty
five and what you get is a barrel of ale,
and I feel like you and leash could dominate that,
whether it's speed, whether it's endurance.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
You guys would well.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
It'd be a one way deal though, Like it'd be
me carrying her, not the other way around. Oh yeah,
she couldn't. She couldn't carry me. So is that allowed?
Does it have to be reciprocated? You're not going to
understand why. It's in a minute, in forty five seconds.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Now it says now the organizers say that you do
not have to carry your own wife. It could be
somebody else's or a mate, girlfriend, boyfriend's sister or brother.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
They should ideally.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Pull up with your wife.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
You look around and go, honey, I think I got
a real shot of winning this and I just.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Can't carry it.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Basically, cars you show up and say, all right, you
sit in the car. Anybody here got an eating disorder?
And then you just go with that one if you
want to.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Win this race.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yeah, apparently, Typically i'd say more cushion for the pushes,
but not in this case, babe, So we're going to
go with someone else here.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
The contestants raced up a gently sloping hillside and back down,
clearing obstacles like low rows of hay bales having buckets
of water thrown at them for good measure. The course
is four hundred and sixteen yards long, a long way
under the circumstances, organizers noted so they had their The
(37:56):
sport is Guff has a following in the UK, the US,
Australia and in other countries. The race in England first
started in two thousand and eight. So I feel like,
if that's something you guys want to go to, go international, take.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
A trip next year.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
You can walk out of there with a barrel of
ale if you're interested elsewhere. In this edition of In
case you missed it, Bobby Hurley remember was he was
head coach at Arizona State. Yeah, yeah, that's a wrap.
He has been there, not going to renew his deal,
and you're probably thinking to yourself, why if he's a
legend of the sport.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I don't know, just your run of the mill ninety
one to forty two loss to Iowa State in the
Big twelve Tournament. You know when you apparently when you
lose by close to fifty points in the Big Twelve Tournament,
that's enough for them to want to move forward.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
But let's give him some flowers here.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Okay, first off, he really did, you know, get that program.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Up and running again. Yeah, you know, they went to a.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Final four if they want to say, in year three
when he was there, and he did have an over
five hundred record during the course of a time he
was there. I think it's been the NCAA Tournament three times.
But that's the problem is that's probably too few for
a program that, you know, again had early expectations with
making a Final four run and then never being able
(39:14):
to capture that again. I think they had their two
other tournament appearances. I think they were out after the
first round.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
He finished overall eighteen games over five hundred and eleven
seasons at Arizona State, which isn't exactly a hotbed for
college basket.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
No, But I also feel like when he first got there,
they were part of the Pac twelve, which was not
an easy basketball conference, and then when they transitioned to
the Big twelve.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I don't think things got any easier than either.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So it's tough. I think a lot of these schools
they almost have to pick. I actually saw a graphic
yesterday and it was basically showcasing like schools that have
been both in good in football and men's basketball.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
And the schools that.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Have been good in both, Like two of the top
teams were Virginia and Duke, which okay, if we're being
honest with ourselves, have they won some games in football, sure,
but outside of Duke went in the ACC, neither of
has been in the College Football Playoff. Then that would
change if it was under this year's rules. But you
(40:19):
kind of get my point. You know, Ohio State was
up there, There's some other schools.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I think Bamba was up there.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
But it's really really hard to be able to put
a lot of money into both programs. It just usually
doesn't work out that way. Usually got to pick one
at this point.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
And then you see what his brother has just done
at Yukon, and you go, you know, you just wonder where.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Next for him.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
And I also look at it like this because John
Shire has done a really good job at Duke since
coach k left. But there was a lot of guys
who were rumored to be the next in line to
take over. Here was Wyszewski, and I just I wonder
how many of those other guys are looking at this going,
man that was the one like if I if I
get taken over at Duke, I felt like I know
(41:03):
that program well because Bobby Hurley is a legend in
college basketball.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
And by the way, he's a really good coach. Will
land on his feet, he'll find another job elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
And I remember him being one of those names people
talked about because again the early success at Arizona State.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
I do wonder though, how much.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
The personality and the firiness of the Hurleys when things
don't work out kind of plays into making this.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Decision a bit easier, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yeah, Dan Hurley's a red ass.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Yeah, I think both can be. I mean, but both
have it in them. You just hear about Dan Moore.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Yeah, it's so you know, listen, eighteen games, over five hundred,
you know, went to the tournament a couple of times,
and you know, good for good for Bobby Hurley. Now
he's off to Uh, he'll get another opportunity. His dad
was a coach, brother a coach, he's a coach. You'll
coach again soon. So that'll wrap up our coverage of
in case you
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up on
this Thursday edition, we got somebody in the NFL that
apparently thinks everybody is dumb. They think everybody's just going
to buy into whatever story they are selling.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We will have that conversation for you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We're also going to talk about the eye tie shots
of expresso for everybody as Italy helps the US advance
in the World Baseball Classic. We're going to talk about
a carrying your Wife contest in England that sounds like
a lot of fun, but maybe the payout is not
all that's cracked up to be. We're going to have
a conversation about the quarterback situation in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Apparently they found their guy, and boy.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Oh boy, is Daniel Jones made a hell of a
living for himself. We will have a discussion about what
your holiday week could look like and how the NFL
is trying to take that over. Plus, we've got Albert
Breer and we've got the leftovers.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's all yours.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Coming up next here, It's two Pros and a Cup
of Joe on a Thursday, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh Hell Yeah, two pros and a cup of Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
No LeVar Arrington, Dan p D suspensions. Ban just can't
get rid of them for whatever reason. So we'll be
catching up with Sticks after the weekend. He's got these
last three days of this week off and then we'll
be rocking and rolling on a Monday. But here on
this Thursday, you can listen to us as always on.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
You can find us on hundreds of affiliates all across
the country. We are going to take you live all
the way up until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific.
If you're listening on the podcast, we appreciate you doing so.
And Brady Quinn, how the hell we feel in here
on this Thursday morning.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I'm feeling great, but we're also trying to discern what
the hell's happened in the NFL over this free agency
period with Trey Hendrickson, Max Crosby, the Ravens, because I
feel like there's some people lying. I'm just laid out
there like this. I feel like there's some people who
are making up some bs and then they're.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Lying to us.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's so shady that it's hilarious that people just pass
this off as the story and the reason and the
logic behind the moves that they make and then just
assume that everybody's just going to buy into it, or
they just think he listen even if you don't.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Whatever is what it is.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And when the games start next year, nobody's really going
to be talking about this. It's just the Yeah, the
whole thing is wild, man. It is a crazy turn
of events in Baltimore. Of course, right after we go
off the area yesterday, the announcement comes down the Trey
Hendrickson is now the brand new pass rusher of the
Baltimore Ravens. I'm assuming that he passed his physical and
(02:56):
everything's on the up and up there. But Trey Hendrickson
gets a four year deal one hundred and twelve million
dollars could be worth up to one hundred and twenty
million dollars sixty million guaranteed, twenty million dollars at signing,
so he does get on that front. Trey Hendrickson's been
looking for this deal from Cincinnati, wasn't able to get
it done, but he does stay in the division and
(03:16):
at least locks up his long term deal that he's
been looking for for the past couple of years.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So good for him.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, I think for Ravens fans too.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Look, you find yourself a pass rusher guy who's been
really productive.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Henderson didn't play as much last year.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It was a bid banged up, but you know, you
go back through the previous four or five years before that,
he's been a wrecking ball on passing down.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
So that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
And if you're concerned about, you know, the Max Crosby thing,
the reality is they can still probably use the draft
capital to go get another edge rusher. Ifted Like, if
that's really you know what you're trying to hone in
on this offseason defensively, Eric Tacosta.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Can do that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I just I hate what they are perpetuating because I
think they're a little concerned about the perception of how
this went down when they basically used a physical to
back out of the deal.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
As I said yesterday before we got off.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The show, they knew Max Crosby had surgery, they knew
what the injury was. It wasn't like they're blind to
all of it, and you're gonna tell me that it
took them to have their doctor see it to then say, well,
short term, we feel good about it, but long term
not so much. I don't buy any of it. I
think they realized they could get an edge rusher for
(04:32):
cheaper that could be probably just as impactful, and they're
probably looking at it saying, yeah, we feel just as
comfortable with either guy. If we can get one cheaper,
so be it. And that's what it came down to.
But they can't admit that. It's obviously something that the
NFL teams have done in the past, but they're not
gonna be able to admit.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That it's a pass rusher who knows the division, he
knows the offenses in the division. He's there's familiarity there.
You know that he's try Andrickson's a little bit older.
But productivity like productivity, they're about the same when you
look at the numbers, you know their per game values.
Some people argue that Trey Hendrickson's not as good against
(05:11):
the run, whatever, but yeah, it does feel like they
were like, you know what, maybe we could get something
done with Trey Hendrickson and we haven't signed on the
dotted line yet for this trade and if we could
just keep that fourteenth overall pick is looking nice. We
could just upgrade at the offensive line there and go
get ourselves a new center. And yeah, we don't have
to actually go through with this at all and keep
our word. We don't have to be honest at all.
(05:34):
We could just go back on the deal and everybody's
gonna walk away happy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And that's what it appears like it was.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
And then Eric DaCosta, of course, yesterday, the GM of
the Baltimore Ravens, they called a press conference and he
talked about firstly, the perception sort of the feeling that
you and I have and I think a lot of
people have following the Trey Hendrickson signing and all that
that maybe things weren't on the up and up and
they didn't handle this the right way. He talked about
(06:02):
that and then also said that, you know, the goal
was not just Trey Hendrickson, but also Max Crosby.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Things just didn't work out.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
I mean, I understand it, you know, I understand it.
We live in that age of skepticism and people question,
especially people that don't really know me or know the
Ravens culture and the Ravens organization so I understand it.
As I said at the beginning, We've got a responsibility.
I've got a responsibility to the Ravens, to this community,
to our fans, and to Steve Bushatti to do what
we think is best for the club. That's what we
(06:32):
always try to do. Every decision we make is based
on this idea, is this the best thing for the Ravens.
Very very challenging. Again, I understand how people might, maybe
from a far would feel that way, but nobody is
more upset about this than me guided by it actually,
and so a regret, a big regret for me. But
we will move on as a football team, and I
(06:54):
think there's many many opportunities for us to grow as
a team, to become a better team, to build a roster,
and to be the team that we want to be.
In terms of Trey, we came to a point probably
after we lost Tyler, where as we're trying to find
the best way for us to get better as a
football team, Trey kind of made a lot of sense
as a possible guy to look at. So we started
some discussions with he and his agent, thinking that potentially
(07:17):
we have two pass rushers on the defensive line, on
both sides of the line. Again, I think it was
disappointing to us and probably in a way, you know,
disappointing probably the tray as well.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I just I love it. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I love the Everybody knows that I'm not telling the truth,
but I'm still going with it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'm just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So what he's trying to say is one had nothing
to do with the other. The ultimate dream for them
was that they were going to have both of those guys,
that they were going to have Trey Hendrickson and Max Crosby.
Just coincidentally enough, once one fell through, the other one
got done and finalized.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's really what he's trying to say.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Sure, and because they've got the cap space and the
money to be able to pay one guy. What was
the deal for Crosby About one hundred and sixteen million
in total, Yeah, thirty five and a half per year,
and then turn around inside Trey Hendrickson for thirty a year.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, that happens all.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
The time in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, that was you know, money grows on trees were fine,
No big deal. There's not a salary cap or something
like that would have to navigate. So yeah, of course
they were trying to get both these guys. I mean,
Eric Dicostmus think everyone's stupid. He really, he really must
think everyone stupid. If we're supposed to buy in the
fact they're going to sign both these guys for about
(08:39):
two hundred and thirty million dollars this offseason, Like, let's
let's get real. That was never the plan. Trey Hendrickson
was probably the other option. They realized that they could
get him for a little bit cheaper, wouldn't have to
spend the draft capital, and they would still use him,
as you said, either on a center or on another
edge rusher.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Like if that was your strategy, you could.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Probably get cash as hal Kid out of text cent M,
and you could have an older veteran guy who's bringing
along the younger veteran younger rookie, and then you've got
your two edge rushers that you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So even if that was the strategy, it doesn't make.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Sense the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's just the idea that you think that that would pass,
that that would be the one that would get through.
It's like somebody walking through TSA and they've got it.
They've it's the three point four limit and they're walking
through with like a forty and it's like, dude, you
can't get through security with that, and they just with
a straight face they try and pass on through and no, no, no,
we're good here, it's in the brown bag. We're fine.
(09:38):
Everything's fine. This is a new problem, not a me problem.
Eric DeCosta trying to sell everybody. No, no, no, listen,
this is the story. This is going to pass right
by you and everybody's going to buy into it. No man, Like,
otherwise the deal with Trey Hendrickson would have already been done.
If one had nothing to do with the other, then
why did one happen right after the other one fell through?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
It?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Like, that's that's the part that I just look at
and go, all right, I guess everybody's stupid. And then,
you know, yesterday we kind of made a joke about
you know, I think it was your guy Jason Lockinfirma
Loch andfora who was reporting that. Good luck finding anybody
that's going to want to do a deal with Baltimore
and Eric Tacosta.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And then immediately Trey Hendrickson gets a deal.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Well, when you make a career out of basically Bashi
every Baltimore professional team.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It's going to backfire, and hopefully he was able to
confirm the tre Hendrickson deal is.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, the whole thing is is hilarious, and I think
it also illustrates the fact that, you know, it's a
cold hearted business. I don't know that this is going
to have the lasting we can't trust you impact, that
maybe he was trying to pass along and that maybe
some people feel like I really do think that ultimately
(10:57):
in about two three weeks, there'll be jokes there. We'll
make a bunch of jokes about it, but nobody's gonna care.
It's just gonna be, yeah, business as usual. It's the NFL,
and everybody goes back and they're happy.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I think what Eric Tacosta is trying to protect is
the team's power and their ability to move on from
deals or players in this situation and not have the
NFLPA throw a fuss about this. And again, the NFLPA
is not a great spot. They're obviously, as far as
a leadership standpoint, still trying to figure things out, and
(11:28):
that's what they don't want to draw attention to this
because if they do, then then all of a sudden,
you're gonna have a lot of other players with grievances, saying, well,
wait a second, you know you sign these guys, they
had these injuries that wasn't an issue, But all of
a sudden, with Max Crosby's you know, his knee that
you full well knew for probably months while you were
putting together this trade deal, what was going on.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You just didn't have imaging to it.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And once you got it, your doctor said, he's okay
the short term, but not the long term. I mean,
the explanation around it's even flimsy. It doesn't really follow
you hand in hand with what was said. So again,
this is all in an effort to protect the team's
ability to do exactly what the Baltimore Ravens did get
out of a deal by using the excuse of the
(12:11):
medical and then go find a guy and tre Hendrickson.
So look, Tree Hendrickson gets the opportunity. As you mentioned earlier,
he knows the division, he knows the Bengals, he knows
that there's value in that too, and again, not having
to give up draft capital getting that back allows them
to build back through the draft, which they've been really
good at I mean that is the majority of how
(12:34):
the Baltimore Ravens have built the roster, so it kind
of fits more. I think of what they're looking to accomplish, say,
save draft capital and you save a little bit of
money too, and it works out for everyone in the end.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Now, Max Crosby did post to his x account yesterday.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I saw that.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Yeh.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Do you think that's a little bit of vengeance? A
little bit?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I mean, now it feels like it's personal what's happened
with BALTI more.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, at least based well do you want to describe
what he put out there.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
On social This from Max Crosby, And I'll just read
it as the way Max Crosby probably thought it instead
based on the way if you've heard Max, you know talk,
and you have.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
To do the impression too.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, Okay, everything happens for a reason. Believe nothing you hear,
and half of what you see, I'm a raider, I'm
back run that s And then he's got an eagle
emoji and a pirate emoji, and then he's got the
young Undertaker walking out of a flaming casket gift. So
apparently we're just going to forget about all of the
(13:37):
stuff that has happened, All of that is forgiven, the
out and out tank job they went through at the
end of last year, all of the stuff that was
said back and forth, the bad handlings and the reports
and the I'm not happy and I want to go.
We're just going to forget all about that stuff. And
Eric DaCosta and the Ravens have now convinced that not
(13:59):
every thing is greener on the other side. And Max
Crosby's back in Las Vegas with the Raiders. We're all
good here. Everybody's see.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I was fooled into believing. And this is where social
media gets you. I just saw a plate of Skyline
chili on one of the fake posts that he had,
so I was like, oh, interesting, Maybe he's making a
message to Cincinnati, saying, all right, well, Chay Hendrickson goes
to Baltimore. Maybe now the Baltimore shunned shun Max Crosby
he wants to go to Cincinnati and he's and he's
(14:27):
portraying that with a bowl of Skyline chili.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Oh my god, what a what a disaster. I don't
think do they play Do the Raiders play the Ravens
next year? What's the what are the Raiders as that
would be Yeah, yeah, twenty twenty six opponents. Yeah, let's
see what we got here, Raiders twenty twenty six opponents.
Obviously you get your divisional opponents.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
They do not.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, that's unfortunate. Yeah, I really missed a golden opportunity there.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
But hey, that's one of those if you think the
NFL is scripted, the NFL would have found a way
to make that happen.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I mean, they are scheduled to play the Ravens in
twenty twenty seven, So if we could hold some grievances
and grudges until twenty twenty seven, this whole thing could
come full circle and we could really really make things
happen here. But that is That is the story on
the Trey Hendrickson, Eric DeCosta, Max Crossby fiasco. And I
(15:26):
don't think I don't think Trey Hendrickson is going to
apologize for getting the deal he got.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It's not his problem.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I mean, you sign what you sign, and he's been
looking for that deal for a while and now he's
going to stay in the division and get after Joe
Burrow for the next couple of years.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
So it's a bit surprising with his age.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I mean, that's the one thing I look at and say,
like for again, this goes back to the Cincinnati Bengals
organization not ever really wanting to give him this sort
of deal, but now the Ravens are willing to at
what they're thirty one years old. I mean, edge rushers
have been able to play in the league, you know,
much much longer than I think what they used to,
especially as the league has become more of a passing league.
(16:03):
So that does play to his advantage. But it's just
interesting he had to go within the division to find
an organization to pay him what he wanted. For all
those Bengals fans out there who keep trying to tell
me your organization is not cheap, just one more example,
just one more example of that. All right, don't blame me,
all right, I'm just the messenger. You don't need to
shoot the messenger for blaming the Bengals for being cheap

Speaker 4 (20:11):
And not even close.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, hey, maybe they're pretty in a baseball Huh I did?
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I did see it? Lists though?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Where all the uh the Italian players were born? Like
half are from the Midwest. I think one or two
they went from Florida, went from Cali. It was like, like,
what are we doing here? But I'm still is there
any I'm gonna look this up because I want to
know one of the specifics to how you decide whether
(20:38):
or not you can play for the uh the Italian team?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, what's the percentage cutoff? Like if you're at you know,
is it like twenty four and a half? Above twenty
four and a half percent are you are you considered
qualified to play for that country? Because yeah, a lot
of these guys, I mean, like Francisco Cervelli, who's the
manager of Team Italy. He was he was making the comment,
(21:04):
you know that our goal is you know that we
help grow the sport in Italy and that you know,
sooner rather than later. It's Italians who were born and
raised in Italy that are playing in this event.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Moving forward.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Okay, okay, so key eligibility criteria for Team Italy. The
player holds a valid Italian passport. So let me just
stop there for a second. I, as I said before,
we were joking about this, and I don't know if I've
told you this or not, but my father in law
(21:39):
was working on this to try to get my wife
and my brother in law an Italian passport and you
know whatever, like the dual citizenship, and he was very
intent on doing this.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Now, I do think he got fooled.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
By some online ad or like a social media ad
to think this is much easier than it actually was,
because I'm pretty sure he spent a good amount of
money on it, and I'm not sure he was ever
able to see it through. So I'm pretty sure my
father in law got scammed. But a player must hold
a valid Italian passport, which is possible and not, I guess,
(22:18):
not as easy as you think, but also maybe not
as difficult it was it was for my father in law.
There must be parental heritage, so at least one parent
has to be born in Italy or was an Italian citizen,
and then the player can provide documentation that they would
be granted Italian citizenship or a passport.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
If they applied. So this is where it gets a
little bit in the gray area.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Okay, so maybe they just got a nice itie over there,
someone to send him a letter that says.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well of course we'd give him a passport.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Now, how many those guys you think actually end up
getting the passport? After all, this is over in the
middle of the season, and I feel like, you know,
some guys might might not follow up on that. By
the way, Francisco Cervelli born in Venezuela, so he can
go a lot of different directions here, Like he could
basically pick and choose where he wants to manage moving
(23:17):
forward in the WBC. So if you're a Venezuelan team,
just know you've got somebody there who does meet the criteria.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
So just an example, and this goes back to the
twenty twenty three team, okay, that had twenty one members
that were US born on it. So the last thing
I'd say too is the if the player previously played
for Italy in a prior WBC tournament, they also can
can qualify again. So even if some of those potentially
(23:48):
change of some of these eligibility rules, as long as
they were Grandfather claused in, they're good now.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Vinnie Pasquentino, who at the three home runs, he's by
the way, he's a space in DH for the Kansas
City Royals. He spoke with John Paul Morosi. John Palmrosi
was really fired up about the items.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Should be fired up. Yeah, he would probably playing for
by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
For people that are not familiar, John Paul Morosi once
called into this show and spoke Italian on the air,
So that was that happened a couple of years back.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
But here, what can we get John pol tomorrow? Can
we just get him on to talk.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
About Oh yeah, like anything anything Italian soccer now the
World Baseball Classic. Yeah, John Paul Morosi would be be
a fun get and he'll know represent the country nicely.
And he's also one of these guys like Sirbelli that
could just go a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Different directions here.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But John Paul Morosi was catching up with Vinnie Pascuentino
and it sounded like this post.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Game, I'm caffeinated, I'm beamed up right, now, so, yeah,
we're in a good spot.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
So how many more boxes of those espresso pods are.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now on order?
Speaker 8 (24:57):
As many as we need, mean as we need, will
make it happen. So that was unbelievable. Huh, you're welcome
to USA. We were thinking of you guys over at
your hotel. We were thinking of you guys. So glad
you guys could.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Join us in the party here. So there they're all
beamed down with camaraderie.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Uh yeah, I guess because Bobby Wood Junior is this
teammate who, by the way, if anybody's never seen Bobby
Wood Junior play, guy's a stud and and so he
was joking, Yeah, I hope he leaves the leaves me
a hotel room key because they're you know.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They're buddies and putting the royals together.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But yeah, it's and then you know he's talking about
you know, I'm all beamed up. I thought, in watching
a few of those guys in the dugout that they
were faking the espresso shots.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay are they?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Are? They taking actual espresso shots? After every note shots?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
You don't shoot an espresso, what do you mean? You
drink it like anything else.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I don't know faking it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I think they're shooting it.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Dude, have you not had espresso before? Of course I'm
having it right now. No, you're drinking coffee with espresso
in it. Okay, you need to look up the process
of how it's made. Okay, but then you'll better understand.
But I'm telling you, I think those guys are are
shooting espresso.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
When I got here tonight, Monsi was still here doing
her updates, and she offered me the.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Rest of her espresso.
Speaker 9 (26:17):
She said, I got this for the Italians because every
time that they make a whatever game, she said, it's.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
A home run.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
Yeah, you take you take a shot of espresso. So
she was doing that all night, so she ain't sleeping.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It's hard to shoot something that's hot.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
It looked like they were shooting it, and.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
You you love them to be shooting anything.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, well here's because here's the move. All right, So
here's the move.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
And I was unaware of this until I did it
the first time, because I thought, like, who would want
coffee after you have a full meal? But the whole
coffee answer, yeah, helps you completely settles your stomach. And well, yeah,
well look and then you got to deal with the
repercussions afterwards. But you know that's a small price to pay.
And so what I do is I'll let it sit
there for about two to three minutes and then just
(27:04):
rip it. I mean, I'm trying to mainline it. If
that if we're doing this, we're doing this.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You have no class Jonas, somebody class whatsoever?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You're You're the type of dub that it's French fries
with this chicken parm have I yeah, I've had afa.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
Gotta those are so good? Are you classy enough for
one of those? Jonas? For what an awful gatto?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
An avocado beating to the joke? Gosh, darn it, did
I steal your thunder there, Patty? I was about to say,
I'm stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
That's right down right down his alley.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
But now that it did help the US, all right,
So the US will advance now and uh, and they
are off and running here. Now the schedule is such
to where now you've got to win, all right. Now,
there's no more helping out. You've got you've got to
win if you'd like to advance. This is uh, this
is really coming down to it. So we are going
(28:00):
to get the US and Canada Friday night, eight pm
Eastern time on We.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Just can't help ourselves finding ourselves why the match again?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Time and time again.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
They did, like they're really trying to divide the US
and Canada. But eight pm Eastern time on Friday night
on five.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
He's doing this.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's going to be But my kids went to a
women's soccer match at the Columbus Cruise Stadium. He went
to see the US women's national team take on the
Canadian women's national team, which the USA got the better
of that as well. So the USA has got a
nice little streak right now dominating Canada. I'm sorry to
all my Canadian friends out there, but that's just the
(28:42):
way it is, you know, the just facts right now.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
US, by the way, is currently on DraftKings minus eight
hundred to win that game, So they're an eight to
one favorite to beat.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Canada, which which means you're probably bet Canada, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I mean, if I can get you know, if I
can get plus money like that, like, and I love
being American. I love the US, but you know, hey,
wins a win the US. The US is favored to
win the Dominican Republic is currently second. You've got Japan
and then Venezuela there as well too, So I don't
know if you've watched Fernando Tatis and uh and those
(29:20):
guys ripping. But we talked to Petros about the celebrations
going on there.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Well, man, they have.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
A good time.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
That was that was though when he referenced it. I
think that was Puerto Rico he was talking about. Yeah,
which that was so funny as soon as as soon
as you watch the clip, you're like, yeah, this does
seem a little bit excessive, but this is what makes
it fun.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
I mean, I would say this the.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Momentum coming off of the Olympics for hockey, it has
helped I think in viewership that's been a little bit proven,
but also just that's the interest, the intrigue around it.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
And I think as a parent.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Now more than ever, I'm always looking at the impact
that has on kid ds. Like when kids come home
and they're talking about it, When kids, you know, start
talking about different sports they want to play, or you
have some of their friends over are driving carpool and
like the kids are saying like, oh, I want to
do this, and I try this. This looks so cool.
I'm thinking to myself, like, back when I was young,
you know, we didn't have stuff like this, don't. I
don't know how long the World Baseball Classic has been around. Like,
(30:19):
I love baseball just because that was what my dad
first taught me to play, you know, I was playing
t ball, throwing a baseball around, and it kind of
led to other sports, but that was my dad loved.
My dad loved baseball, and that's how things started. The
Reds were good back when I was probably what nineteen
ninety nineteen ninety one. The Indians were good after that,
and so it kind of it kept you engaged into
(30:40):
the sport because you were following teams that were playing
the World Series, or at least in the Red's case,
I guess, the winning World Series.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
I'm curious to see the impact this will have on
baseball in general, because even though it does feel a
little bit manufactured, with you know, half the team or
however many players being born in the US, I.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Do think that's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
It's cool to see players and teams kind of represent
their heritage, albeit maybe not as you know, close to
the you know, their family or relatives, as one may think,
it's still fun to see what that looks like.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I also think, and this might be a little hokey
and maybe a little naive to think that people could
set aside some differences. But as we've seen, you know,
people in this country can't really get along for the
most part. Everybody's got a disagreement. Everybody's got a gripe,
whether it's political, whether it's the.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Vaccines or whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Everybody's got you're this, and you're wrong, and I'm right,
and there's no common ground. And it does feel like
stuff like this is at least where you can put
all that garbage away and you could just root for
the country, like they're not like nobody cares, who believes
in what, who's voting for what? You just want to
root for the country. And I think that's why a
(31:52):
lot of people got annoyed with some of the questions
from some of the media to the American athletes at
the Olympics, because it's like, dude, we're at the Olympics.
Why are we bringing this stuff up here? Like why
are you pointing out the flaws of the country. How
about we just celebrate athletes who are trying to win
gold for the country and just root for them. And
I think the hockey teams men's and women's did that.
(32:14):
And I think the further the US goes, I think
the more fun it is for people to watch, because
when you look at that crowd, you see fans of
all different teams just rooting for the US. They couldn't
care less that arrival from another from the same division
of the team that they root for. You just got
a base hit in an RBI. They don't care. They
just want the US to win. Yeah, I agreed, which
(32:35):
actually begs the question. Listen, are you into video games?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I mean who isn't? Well, look, celebrities or just a
good time. I'm telling you this the Global Gaming League
They've got it all. It's a video game lead with

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
I'm just glad we now were able to get Neo
into that read so at least we could do. And
some people I love yours I do too. I actually
heard a song that might be my next song.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Who wouldn't know who Neo is?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Probably someone who's not a big fan of his music.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I don't know. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I don't know why anybody wouldn't be a fan of
his music. I am I know, that's for sure. By

Speaker 4 (34:39):

Speaker 6 (34:41):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing the guys are here to
bring you.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
In case you missed it.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Well, you got this, and I got something for you
and the missus because I got something that you guys
should dominate.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Might I introduce you, Brady Quinn to the annual.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Barrel of Ale wife carrying contest in England that took
place last weekend. Wives and girlfriends clinging on for dear
life as their partners carry them up and down a
hillside for the UK wife Carrying race, one of the
country's quirkiest to annual sports events. On Sunday, Timu and
(35:32):
Jetta from Finland were crowned the winners. How long would
you say the winner could carry their wife for going
up and down a hill in England? What would you say,
time wise, and you're the winners, I would say it
took them forty minutes, one minute and forty five seconds,
(35:57):
all right. One minute and forty five seconds get you
a barrel of local ale, all right, So now.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
They it was the fastest to carry them up and down.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I'm still not clear on that because it's up and
down a hill. It's just how long you can hold
on to them for is what I've read. But it
seems like that's a year. All yeah, it seems like
that's a quick way to do it now. The way
that some of these are positioned. The photo shows a
guy holding his wife, you know, almost like she was
(36:28):
going to pile drive him. He just lifted her up
over his shoulders, so legs are out in front of
his shoulders, she's hanging down his back and he's just
kind of carrying her that way. But a minute forty
five and what you get is a barrel of ale,
and I feel like you and leash could dominate that,
whether it's speed, whether it's endurance.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
You guys would well.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
It'd be a one way deal though, Like it'd be
me carrying her, not the other way around. Oh yeah,
she couldn't. She couldn't carry me. So is that allowed?
Does it have to be reciprocated? You're not going to
understand why. It's in a minute, in forty five seconds.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Now it says now the organizers say that you do
not have to carry your own wife. It could be
somebody else's or a mate, girlfriend, boyfriend's sister or brother.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
They should ideally.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
Pull up with your wife.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
You look around and go, honey, I think I got
a real shot of winning this and I just.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Can't carry it.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Basically, cars you show up and say, all right, you
sit in the car. Anybody here got an eating disorder?
And then you just go with that one if you
want to.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Win this race.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yeah, apparently, Typically i'd say more cushion for the pushes,
but not in this case, babe, So we're going to
go with someone else here.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
The contestants raced up a gently sloping hillside and back down,
clearing obstacles like low rows of hay bales having buckets
of water thrown at them for good measure. The course
is four hundred and sixteen yards long, a long way
under the circumstances, organizers noted so they had their The
(37:56):
sport is Guff has a following in the UK, the US,
Australia and in other countries. The race in England first
started in two thousand and eight. So I feel like,
if that's something you guys want to go to, go international, take.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
A trip next year.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
You can walk out of there with a barrel of
ale if you're interested elsewhere. In this edition of In
case you missed it, Bobby Hurley remember was he was
head coach at Arizona State. Yeah, yeah, that's a wrap.
He has been there, not going to renew his deal,
and you're probably thinking to yourself, why if he's a
legend of the sport.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
I don't know, just your run of the mill ninety
one to forty two loss to Iowa State in the
Big twelve Tournament. You know when you apparently when you
lose by close to fifty points in the Big Twelve Tournament,
that's enough for them to want to move forward.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
But let's give him some flowers here.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Okay, first off, he really did, you know, get that program.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Up and running again. Yeah, you know, they went to a.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Final four if they want to say, in year three
when he was there, and he did have an over
five hundred record during the course of a time he
was there. I think it's been the NCAA Tournament three times.
But that's the problem is that's probably too few for
a program that, you know, again had early expectations with
making a Final four run and then never being able
(39:14):
to capture that again. I think they had their two
other tournament appearances. I think they were out after the
first round.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
He finished overall eighteen games over five hundred and eleven
seasons at Arizona State, which isn't exactly a hotbed for
college basket.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
No, But I also feel like when he first got there,
they were part of the Pac twelve, which was not
an easy basketball conference, and then when they transitioned to
the Big twelve.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I don't think things got any easier than either.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So it's tough. I think a lot of these schools
they almost have to pick. I actually saw a graphic
yesterday and it was basically showcasing like schools that have
been both in good in football and men's basketball.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
And the schools that.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Have been good in both, Like two of the top
teams were Virginia and Duke, which okay, if we're being
honest with ourselves, have they won some games in football, sure,
but outside of Duke went in the ACC, neither of
has been in the College Football Playoff. Then that would
change if it was under this year's rules. But you
(40:19):
kind of get my point. You know, Ohio State was
up there, There's some other schools.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I think Bamba was up there.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
But it's really really hard to be able to put
a lot of money into both programs. It just usually
doesn't work out that way. Usually got to pick one
at this point.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
And then you see what his brother has just done
at Yukon, and you go, you know, you just wonder where.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Next for him.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
And I also look at it like this because John
Shire has done a really good job at Duke since
coach k left. But there was a lot of guys
who were rumored to be the next in line to
take over. Here was Wyszewski, and I just I wonder
how many of those other guys are looking at this going,
man that was the one like if I if I
get taken over at Duke, I felt like I know
(41:03):
that program well because Bobby Hurley is a legend in
college basketball.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
And by the way, he's a really good coach. Will
land on his feet, he'll find another job elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
And I remember him being one of those names people
talked about because again the early success at Arizona State.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
I do wonder though, how much.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
The personality and the firiness of the Hurleys when things
don't work out kind of plays into making this.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Decision a bit easier, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yeah, Dan Hurley's a red ass.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
Yeah, I think both can be. I mean, but both
have it in them. You just hear about Dan Moore.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Yeah, it's so you know, listen, eighteen games, over five hundred,
you know, went to the tournament a couple of times,
and you know, good for good for Bobby Hurley. Now
he's off to Uh, he'll get another opportunity. His dad
was a coach, brother a coach, he's a coach. You'll
coach again soon. So that'll wrap up our coverage of
in case you
