Aaron Rodgers. I mean, listen, he demands greatness of himself.
What's wrong with that? Especially if you're two members of

Major concern for the Steelers in their quarterback situation. Also,
what the hell's the concern in Brazil when it comes
to the Eagles and the Packers? Apparently so much so

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Technical difficulties with one LeVar Arrington. Well, Brady, he will
be joining us here hopefully shortly, but we are off
and running in the NFL season.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
That was a hell of a football game last night.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
It was It was a hell of a football game.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
It was incredible kind of how it came down to
the end, only because I thought Kansas City kind of controlled.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
That game for the most part.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
And maybe I'm on an island with that thought, but
it kind of felt like whoever had the ball last though,
was going to have a shot of winning because of
both these quarterbacks and because of how Lamar kind of
just wills his team at times to make.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Plays and win.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
But I mean, literally, maybe half a tow is what
Baltimore doesn't have a chance of going for two and
you know, potentially winning in regulation looks like which I
also thought was kind of an interesting, you know spot,
and all of that was John Harrible immediately went. I mean,
there was no thought about it. You could tell they
had the conversation during that final drive. If we score here,

(02:40):
we're going for two. We're going to win it right now.
That's pretty awesome.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
And I love that because you could tell Kansas City
was gassed. And I think the broadcasters even made the point.
You know, it was Chris Collinsworth and Mike Tarico who said, man,
look at the Chris Jones and a lot of those guys.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Are taking a knee like they're worn down.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Like I mean, was an impressive drive by Lamar in
company because it wasn't just like one big chunk play
outside of the throw to Bateman towards the end, but
he just kind of picked him apart. Like there was
throws to the sidelines. They worked the clock, they didn't
have any timeouts. They took a little bit too long
maybe getting down there and getting getting everybody ready to
go after I.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Thought the big play to payment, yeah, they probably should
have spiked it. But but you know, again hindsight' twenty twenty,
they get they executed the exact way they needed to,
with the exception.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Of about an inch.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean, that was the difference between them having a
shot at legitimately winning it with the two point conversion.
The crazy thing that you bring up about how they
look gassed Justice Hill was one on one with Chris
Jones the final two plays that blew my mind. I mean,
by the ways, it's not even like it's not even
like it's Derrick Henry, it's your smallest running back on

(03:51):
the team. As they gat protected everything to the left. No,
I mean it was fine, it worked out, but and
that was the one thing I walked away from that
game going, I still can't believe they did that, Like,
how did Todd Mounkin think that.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
This was a good idea?

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Like arguably one of the best defensive call but tackle
Dan wait to call him one of the.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Best in the league And he's isolated on Justice Hill.
At the end, it ended up working out like you
still got the throw off. It's still all could have
worked out in the end.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Now, I want to give you a little bit of
credit here. You gave me a sage piece of advice.
I mean that I would never actually use because it's
too late and I stopped playing and I was terrible
when I did play football in high school.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
But you gave me a piece of advice. She said.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Listen, if you're a skill position guy, always wear white cleats.
You want him to blend in with the sideline. It
makes the call more difficult. And even Patrick Mahomes made
the comment after the game. And then if you're Isaiah
like I mean, according to Lamar Jackson, he still thought
it was a He had his feet and bounds afterwards.

(04:56):
Maybe he hadn't seen the replay yet, but yeah, like
a quarter of an inch.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
And who knows.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Maybe we're talking about the Ravens upsetting Kansas City on
the road in a big game.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
To open up the year.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I had some buddies with the Ravens plus three, so
we were all hoping that it would fall on the
You know, you can maybe make the case that you
know he's in there, maybe it's you know, you know,
it's not indisputable, that's not.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
But to your point, it's why when you go out
on the.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Field before a game you check the sidelines if they're white,
usually it helps. It helps you can throw on some
white cleats. Then there, it makes a little more difficult.
Even with the great camera angles that we have, which
mind you had this not been a granted it's Thursday night,
but it's the Sunday Night football crew, which that crew
for NBC has an incredible.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Amount of cameras, and I can just tell you.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
From doing games where you're not the number one crew
in the NFL, you've got like nine cameras, maybe maybe
ten cameras. And the reason why that matters is you're
not going to get the angle that became conclue of
evidence for the officials.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
That Isaiah likely was out of bounce.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
And so unless you're in one of these primetime crews,
so like the number one for Fox, Tom Brady and
Kevin Burkhard or Trey Coman and Joe Buck or Chris
Collins with Mike Trico, you.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Might not have gotten the angle.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
You might not have gotten the ability to go see
it that close and be able to tell the difference,
and that call may have stood.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
We may have been going on to the two point conversion.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
That's oftentimes the difference when you're in TV of seeing
the difference between winning and losing.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Sometimes these controversial plays.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
So the play that also people are talking about is
the missed opportunity to Zay Flowers in the end zone
Lamar Jackson. One play before that throa at Isaiah likely,
which by the way, I thought Isaiah likely had broken
his collarbone, and then next time is making that play
right back.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
It filled a little NBA ish, I'll be honest.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
It thought a little bit like the who was it
Paul Pierce who got he had taken off in the wheelchair.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Hey Craft himself and then you know, had a little
bit of an.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I thought he heard his like show Elber or something
that took off the wheelchair.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
It was like they I think it was like a
scar tissue popped in his knee, and so he freaked out.
But then like one of the rumors out there was
Eddie had an accident in his pants, you know, a
little little you.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Know, I'm not sure why it always has to go there.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
I swear to god, I'm not making that up. That's
a real story. But the only personally craps their pants
on this show, it's probably and that also is a
fair point. But I will say this, Lamar Jackson did
talk afterwards about the missed opportunity to say flowers, and
maybe that's not really the part of this.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
That we should be discussing.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
The play before to Flowers that bucking tipped out of
your hand or was that just just misfiring.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm actually it was. I went scrambled. I've seen Chris
Jones was on Justice Hill.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
Justice Hill was blocking Chris Jones, so I was trying
to help Justice out and I try to get out
of pocket, and I seen baitman like flying across something
of bait me gonna stop. And Adam throwing the ball.
I see a flying cross. I'm like, that wasn't for
uh the flowers.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
So yeah, I was. I was.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
I was teed up about that because I'm like, if
I held onto a little bit more, I'll just fight it.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
You didn't see it until the very end. Yeah, Like
when I threw the ball, I seen him. I'm like, like.

Speaker 7 (08:13):
I want to say something of it. I'm like, damn.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Okay, as a quarterback, does that add up?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Trying to throw it away? Is that what he's saying.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's hard because there's it seems like there's a visual
component that you can't see there.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
So I think his thought was that it was supposed
to go to Bateman, and that Bateman I guess maybe
stopped running that. That was my take, but maybe there
was a throwaway there, Like it just it seemed at.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Because he's using he brought up the Justice Hill part,
which again I just I don't know how that happens.
I mean, if you're Patrick mccari at right tackle, I
don't care what like games on the line and like
they're having you turned left just to the slides, like no,
I'm probably gonna go on Chris Jones. Like that was
one of the things that blew my mind because you know,

(08:59):
coming from college my last two years with Charlie Weiss,
like he didn't over complicate pass protections. It's like, hey, guys,
we want our good guys, our big offensive linemen on
their big guys, all right, big on big, It's not complicated.
I don't care where they're standing, go point to them
like that's your guy. If you're a right tackle, you're

(09:19):
not turning away or turning down blocking Chris Jones. You're
gonna go out and set and block them. I don't
care what the rest of the offensive line is doing
because of their responsibilities on the other side. You go
take that guy. Don't put our running back on a
D n D tackle. It's just big on big. It's
not that complicated. So I'm again more focusing on that

(09:41):
because could have made a difference and maybe he has
more time to make that throw or to seize flowers.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Maybe maybe.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
I mean, it's like both times he dropped back, he
had to set the pocket and then basically run up
because he knew eventually Chris Jones in quick fashion is
probably gonna be able to be Justice Hill.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
So it was a credit to.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Lamar Jackson is getting the ball off on both occasions.
But it's still crazy to me that they let that happen,
and I think it ultimately played an impact on what
those two you know, those two throws looked like.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
It was a hell of a conclusion of the game.
I did. We'd also did we.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Got a gripe though. Can we admit that there's a gripe. Yeah,
what's the grip? I mean, I understand this points of emphasis.
I get it with the officials, but the second play
of the game to call a penalty, it was a
ted hockey. I mean, come on, dude, but give a warning.
First name guy, But you can't right out the gate,

(10:41):
sit there and say a legal formation because of where
he's at. Like, I get it, I sit through when
I hear the official say these are the things we're
gonna harp on. You didn't call like that. I mean,
at one point, Ronnie Stanley was ahead of the left
guard and I'm looking down going that.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Doesn't even look right.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
I mean he's literally in front of the left guard,
like at this point you but you could probably call
it appenally in the left guard, not be on the
line of scrimmage and say legal formation. It was so
ridiculous the point of emphasis they made that. It took
away from the beginning of the game a bit, and
I don't I don't really understand why they have to
make that big of an.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Issue with it.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
That was gonna be, uh, that's how you know we've
been doing this way too long. That was going to
be the next part of this that I wanted to
get into because you did learn real quick in the season. Yeah,
that's what has been harped on, like they've been pounding
it into the officials heads the entire offseason. Hey, this
is what we're looking at this year. This is this
is the conversation we need to start having. The way

(11:40):
Collinsworth made it seem was like there was a warning
before they made.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
The first call. So it was a second play, right,
So the first play, second place.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
The first play, first play was the warning, second play
through the flag, and then I think it he got
two more after that.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, I think there were two more flags after that.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
The bad one was Babeman at one point, like down
the stretch with Babman wasn't on line. It's like you're
a wide receiver, dude, you're out wide. Just go look
at the sideline.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Judge John Harbaughs spoke afterwards about just the call and
is hoping that we see the same thing throughout the
course of the.

Speaker 7 (12:14):
Season, and you put any thing out that they said
they were gonna call that, uh differently, I think understanding
how differently we were the first offensive series of the
season with that, and I think they saw probably.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Everybody watching it.

Speaker 7 (12:25):
They'd be interesting to see if they call it the
same way the whole season, And I'll challenge them to
call it the same way they called it tonight the
whole season, so hopefully they'll be consistent about.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Time is no way, no way they call like that,
all right.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
I Mean, here's the thing is, usually in the preseason
they set an emphasis in like one or two of
the first games, and that kind of sets the tone
of like how much they're gonna call it. And I
know a lot of times it's guys who aren't gonna
make the roster, guys who are on starters. But the
point is it's a point of emphasis, and everyone takes note.
They're like, oh, this, this is how this is gonna look,

(12:57):
you know. Oh, And usually you don't see it on
display like that in the very first game of the
season because no one wants to see all the laundry
out of the field.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
So I kind of sit back and just go like, come.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
On, Roger, get them under control, like this is way
too much, way too much for the opening game of
the season. And honestly, it wasn't that egregious, Like they
kept kind of going back and showing it. Typically, if
your helmet is on the butt of the center, they
usually let it slide and.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Now it's like, all right, like his helmet was.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
I mean, it looked to me at times that Ronnie
Stanley was actually ahead of the left guard on the
lot of scrimmage.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, and you saw John Harbaugh kind of mouth to
whoever it was like, just tell Ronnie to move up,
like he was just frustrated at that point. He just said,
they're just going to continue to call this. It's ridiculous.
Just tell them to move up.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Now. It was last year.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Wasn't it the opening game last year where Juwan Taylor
was the guy who kept getting away with it?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
I think, yes, the opener last year, And so it
was a gregious selfall.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
So it's funny to be like that Kansas City didn't
get called once, right, not once did they get called it.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
And they're like, but there's already people out there who
think Kansas City gets all the calls and they get
all the breaks and everything's in their favor.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
There's a lot of conspiracy theorists out there.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
So now I think there was kind of that felt
like a little bit of a phantom holding call on
one particular drive.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
You know, there's some stuff out there.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
There's a little bit of fire with the smoke that
people are talking about. And so if you factor in
last year Juwan Taylor not getting called at all, I
just wonder, maybe, to John Harbrough's point, whoever was going
to get the ball first, they were going to be
made the example of, Like I wonder if that that
was maybe the thought of the officiating crew and that's

(14:46):
how they wanted to handle this. But to come a
year later and see Juwan Taylor who was way off
the line, which is really what started this whole thing,
and then Baltimore gets the ball to start off the
season at Kansas City and then they get danged like
three times in like thirty eight seconds. Yeah, a little
bit problematic, little annoying as well too, And so we

(15:07):
were off and running with the NFL season. But it
was fun game, man, fun as hell. And you know
the best part too, if you did have Baltimore, like
maybe you and some of your buddies, maybe somebody known
as the meat Wagon did.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Plus the three.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, even if they missed the two point conversion, you're
sitting pretty.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, that's actually why we were celebrating at the end.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Oh yeah, because well you're good man. They're going for
you're good. Like we didn't have to worry about overtime.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
There was nothing to worry about.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
I did tell him to play the over which it
ended up. We saw it at forty six forty six
and a half, so I would have hit that or
did hit that, but he didn't want to play that.
He doesn't like played over unders. It's more about spreads
for him.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Well, listen, we are going to have all sorts of
football conversation on this show here, because I don't know
if you know this or not, and it is important
to point this out. There's a lot of people that like,
tell us, well, it's the off season, why you're doing this?
Oh well, I mean it's disrespectful to the NBA. What
about the Olympics. Well, guess what, it's a football Friday.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
That's right, and this time that's right.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
It counts.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah actually here, yeah, it's actually yeah, yeah, screw your
peacock way.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Didn't Peacocks steal the song?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah they did. They stole from us.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Oh yeah, I see Sam Flood yet music?

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Sam?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah there go there you go? Yeah, come on, come on,
come on, where's LeVar? Where's v there are? Don't danced
bar Islands? All right?

Speaker 8 (16:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Come on yeah, Football Friday, come on man, yes, all right.
We got high school, we got college, and we got
a game in Brazil nobody wants to be a part of.
And it's all here on a football Friday, on two
pros and a cup of Joe. We are going to

(17:05):
have some fun stuff later on. We do have in
case you missed it. We're also going to give some
parlay advice courtesy of our friends at DraftKings coming up
in our two of the program, and I don't know
if you're feeling like spreading them, but a courtesy of
our friends at DraftKings as well too, we're going to
do maybe some picks against the spread to close up
shop here to get you set for Week one in
the NFL. It's all yours here as we take you

(17:27):
all the way up until nine am Eastern time, six
o'clock Pacific up next here. Though, you know, there was
a story that came out in the NFL not that
long ago, No big deal, nothing to worry about. Total precaution.
Apparently now it's a real issue. We'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
That is next.

Speaker 9 (17:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
He's Mike Krmen, I'm Dan Bayern.

Speaker 10 (17:57):
We have a fantasy football podcast called I Want Your Flexed.

Speaker 9 (18:01):
That's right, Dan.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Every week we're gonna scour the waiver wire to find
the pickups to turbo boost your fantasy lineup, sit starts,
fantasy football players rankings to get you ready to dominate

Speaker 10 (18:14):
Listen to I Want Your flex with Mike Carmon and
met Dan Byer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast and
wherever you be your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Stay up, baby, that's right, Two Pros and a Cup
of Joe. Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with
you here. No, LaVar Arrington. We've got some technical difficulties
with Var, but if we can get everything figured out
and sort it out, we will get you ready to
roll here with Var and Stick City on a Football
Friday here coming up in about twenty minutes from now

(18:44):
here from the ti raq dot Com studios. Everybody's wondering
what does the future look like for one of the
all time greats. We might have some clarity on that
for you coming up here again a little over twenty
minutes from now. So we have some new music that
I think is appropriate for what we're about to discuss here,

(19:04):
because it was very obvious last night, and ladies and gentlemen,
it was a hell of a run. It was something
that we all needed to try and get our football fix.
But Brady Quoin, would you like to say a couple
of words.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
You know, growing up and learning to love the game
of football. I always felt like it was just the
fitting part of how the game began, the kickoff. It
was always so beautiful seeing young men helmets strapped on

(19:47):
as they sprinted down the field into imminent danger. And
on the other side, the receiving end, those brave souls
who stood back watching these men run towards them, knowing
they had to do their best to stop them. And

(20:09):
one fearless ball carrier who is gonna have to run
and try to at least avoid one, if not two,
maybe three, maybe four or five if you're a Devin Hester,
whatever the case may be, I'm gonna miss it.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
I'm gonna miss the kickoff a lot.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, yeah, it's over.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
And listen, there's people and I think, look, if you
want to talk about the people that can't accept the
fact that the NFL is sanctioned violence and wanted to
make a bunch of adjustments.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
And I get some of them.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I understand, you know, health and safety, like it's paramount.
I get all that, but at a certain point, you've
got to accept the reality of what it is you're
dealing with here, and they wanted to make some changes,
and unfortunately they've got the kickoff's blood all over their hands.

(21:05):
And now it's gone because whatever the hell that was
last night sucked beyond belief. And I thought, well, maybe
it's just the preseason. At least it'll be a different
look once we get to the regular season. Nope, they're
just kicking it out of bounds. And when you're kicking
it out of bounds, and guys are just running up
to each other, and it looks like you're going through

(21:26):
you know, team practice in a hotel room because the
weather's bad outside and nobody's actually making contact with each other.
It's just a waste of time. I'm just can we
get back to normal? Like, can we get put like
or what? At this point this is going.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
To get rid of it.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
This is the contrast when you go to a high
school game tonight or watch college football, it's like they
decided not to change it. Why was the NFL so
hell been other safety of the game? But stop, Like
what have you honestly really cared about the safety year
the game?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah? I mean, I know we want to.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Like act like the NFL because they put in these
different safety measures and it's all for liability and so
they won't get a lawsuit. Let's just call what it is.
And so we now put a rule in where it
looks awful to begin with. It's just the weirdest, most
awkward and look, everybody watched the preseason kind of felt
it too, but on that stage week one, it was like, yeah,

(22:26):
this really was a bad idea.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
And now you even have kickers.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I think there's somebody even trying to kick it to
make the guys return the football and they can't even
do it. It's just there was eleven kickoffs last night.
Eleven you know, nine were touchbacks.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
You got two returns.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
That's it, you know, it's so appropriate to about it.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
The first we saw of it was at the Hall
of Fame game in Canton with Devin Hester, the greatest
returner of all time, being inducted into the Hall of Fame,
and he had to watch that garbage. And then last
night you've got John Harbaugh, special teams guy before he
got a head coaching job, and Dave Tobe, the guy
who was Devin Hester's special teams coach in Chicago, who's

(23:12):
the special teams coordinator in Kansas City now, and they've
got to be subjected to that garbage, that crap in
a bag that the NFL's rolled out because people are
too scared of the fact that there's violence in football.
Just disgusting, man. And I don't know what's going to
happen next. I mean, what do you do now? I mean,
what's the solution? Got to come up with some solutions.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Well, here's part of the issue with the NFL is
they don't like going back on something they do. So
you know, I would say the quick solution would be
just go back to the normal way of doing a
kickoff and realize that, like there's some plays that are
not going to be safe. I mean, third and one,
fourth and one. When you bring in a full back

(23:53):
and there's it's an ISO that full back and that
depending on the type of ISO weak side linebackers, strong
side line made, it's the middle linebacker.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
They should be on a collision course.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
To be sprinting from about ten yards apart, then smash
one on one another, all on an effort to try
to stop the guy who's behind the full back running
for the first down?

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Is that a safe play? Like?

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Are we going to measure everything by concussion percent?

Speaker 8 (24:23):
I think?

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Is that how we're gonna do this in football? We
don't do it in UFC? Right? Do we do it another?
You know? Fighting sports? Now?

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Of course not. We understand there's inherent risk and danger.
I think football players do too, And so I just
if we go back to what we had before, just
moving back if you want more kickoffs, and if you
don't want more kickoffs, then just keep whatever goofy rule.
This is why college football and high school focal football
make you look like idiots.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
The brotherly shove is still allowed, correct? Last last I
checked that there's a lot going on there as well too. Yeah,
Like you guys are getting chewed up on the inside
and I don't know, man, it sucks. And just to
have that on full display to your point last night,
for everybody to see, Hey, what's this new and what's
the terminology? They're calling it the dynamic kickoff? Like it's dynamic.

(25:13):
It's the dynamic kickoff. It's like, come on, dude, like
you can pretty this thing up all you want. It's
crap in a bag that you opened up and serve
to everybody and told them to smile and like it,
because this is just the way it's going to be nowadays.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
So yeah, if you're in a high school football game tonight,
to your point, tip your cap, Tip your cap to
the real ones out there that are still lighten people
up and get and doing so after a running start
to try and start a game. Awful. Well, that being said,
let's transition over to something that also could be awful.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers in their quarterback situation because.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Apparently this whole calf issue that Russell Wilson had, this
little la whatever, it's just you know, we're just taking precaution.
Like he's older, you know, don't worry about it. It's
his starting job. Everything's going to be fine. Apparently he's
still got the issue with the calf, and it barked
on him again. Maybe this week in practice, but with

(26:15):
the season right around the corner coming up in a
couple of days, Mike Tomlin spoke about his starting.

Speaker 8 (26:20):
Cornerback Russ Wilson was a limited participant today. His calf
got tight, so we want to exercise some precaution. We'll
see what tomorrow looks like and kind of go from there.
Questions Mike, what are any long term concerns about Russ's calf? None?
Did he report to Clayton's He was a limited participant.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Said calf as training.

Speaker 9 (26:42):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
How much does that impact game planning for Sunday?

Speaker 8 (26:45):
It really doesn't at all, to be honest with you.

Speaker 7 (26:47):
If you have to go get a look at or
exam anything.

Speaker 8 (26:50):
We probably will just to exercise an abundance of precaution.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
But what's your opinion of justice? Ready miss to go
to him?

Speaker 8 (26:59):
I'm extremely comfortable if that is the case.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Certainly we're talking about a month, right, this has been
going on a month.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Yeah, I guess it happened while they're doing a conditioning
test and he had popped in doing a sled pole,
which I mean calls the question you know, certain training
and when you're doing that training.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
But that's not the point. I was dead wrong. You know,
yesterday we I think we did it. Was it over
under or whatever?

Speaker 4 (27:23):
You know, bet we might have pulled out about whether
or not Justin Fields would start a game. This is
feeling very very close to like Russell Wilson almost. I
don't know if it's like coasting through this year or
how do you describe it, But you're in a new offense,
you know, different play caller, different guys you're throwing to,

(27:45):
and he's been limited often throughout camp and into now.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Their Week one preparation. I mean, I'd love to know
behind the.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Scenes how many reps has he actually taken and depending
on how this looks, because the pre season to look
great when he had gotten in and I know they
have offensive line issues, but if he's not mobile and
can't run, that takes away a huge element of his game.
So I'm starting to kind of slowly walk back and

(28:16):
almost walk back what I said yesterday. Field is gonna
start some games this year.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Russell Wilson's what thirty five thirty six this year.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Yeah, I mean he's getting up there in age where
like little things like this start.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
To become nagging, where you go, well, what is he
ever gonna be healthy? Then?

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Is this gonna be the that they're on the injury
report every single week this season?

Speaker 3 (28:36):
If that's the case, Like, I don't know that anyone's
gonna have to deal with.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
That, which and I kind of feel bad for him
because I think it became a punchline in Denver when
things went so poorly, because all of a sudden you
started to get all these stories about well, he's a diva,
he needed his own office. He's got, you know, the
giant house with four bedrooms and triple the craft closets.
He's got, you know, his own parking spot. He's got,

(29:00):
like you just started to hear all these and everybody
like it was open season. Sean Payton got there and
just sort of called him out publicly last.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Year to see the way.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
And now here he is with an opportunity to go
to Pittsburgh for pennies for the Steeler's sake, and we're
not even too the season yet and he's got like
a nagging injury and a nagging issue that that that
has popped up, and I just wonder, you know, maybe
this is a long term discussion better served for another day.
Like you know, is have we seen Are we starting

(29:30):
to see the decline of a guy that was arguably
a Hall of Fame quarterback just three years ago? I
mean three years ago, like nobody would would dispute the
fact this guy's going to be a Hall of Famer.
And nowadays we're talking about all the stuff that went
on in Denver. Now he's buddy, now he's in Habsburg.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
I don't know where he's starting to see the decline.
I think we're already there.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Yeah, I mean, if this year goes as bad as
it feels like it might go, I mean we're already
there at this point. I mean from the end of
Seattle into Denver and what that first year looked like. Yeah,
last year was better, but man, I just I think
we're almost admitted.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Like we're already there. If this season goes south quick,
this could be it.

Speaker 9 (30:10):

Speaker 2 (31:08):
For that, we turn it over to our executive producer, Lee.

Speaker 11 (31:12):
Lap Good Friday Morning, everybody, Good morning, Jonas, good morning, Brady,
Good morning, Levarlat's back.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Somebody Hey, Hey, what up for a hei? How you doing?

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Buddy Good hell yeah, all right, the lap, Yeah, let's
do it. Oh right, you got it?

Speaker 11 (31:35):
Well, hey guys, in case you missed Hey Brady, Hey guys,
in case you missed this.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Even though TNT.

Speaker 11 (31:40):
Will no longer have the NBA's media rights after the
twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five season, Charles Barkley
will remain there, but given the uncertainty surrounding the staff,
the cruise fate this year, uh, and of course the
end of the Inside the NBA, Charles revealed that he
has a zero idea regarding the future of Inside the
NBA crew after TNT fail to provide clarity to him

(32:00):
on next season.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, they don't need TANT doesn't even have an idea
that is correct, there's no all.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Right, well, they're going to tell you when they don't know,
like one one final ride and then you know, we'll
we'll figure it out afterwards. Although they did make it's
kind of a good point that you don't that show
is so good you don't really need the games to
do that show. So I don't know how they would

(32:26):
operate that, like if they would just tape, you.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Know, don't they do, Like I have look ins and stuff.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
You don't need games, like you gotta talk about something,
but you can talk about games on this show.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yeah, I can't. I can't catch with you.

Speaker 12 (32:40):
But they do like live like in game stuff like
would they still be able to use like the highlights
and stuff like that the game because they're talking about games,
you know what I.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Mean, talking and showing and doing film on games.

Speaker 12 (32:55):
Yeah, and that's kind of the premise of what they
do where they're able to create that entertainment value.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, but do they have to show exclusively just TNT
games or can they show an ESPN game? I mean,
hopefully they don't have direct TV so they can actually
watch it, but can they actually talk about it an
ESPN game following an ESPN game, which, look, ESPN is
not gonna be happy about, because if that's the case.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Nobody's gonna watch their post game show.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
I think the league would have to allow it, and honestly,
if ESPN or Disney's paying for it, they most likely
wouldn't what allow that to happen.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, damn, So that's about my pay grade.

Speaker 12 (33:33):
So I wouldn't even know what to tell you on that, Jonas,
But I think Q might be onto something there.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
I would agree.

Speaker 11 (33:41):
What else we got Lee Fellas fans will not have
to wait until the Masters in April to watch PGH
more golfers versus Live Golf League Golfers. They have announced
that Rory McElroy and Scottie Shuffler will face off versus
Live Golf Bryce in de Shadow and Brooks Scupta and

pocket just in case it happens.

Speaker 2 (34:34):

Speaker 3 (34:36):
I have my yardage book.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
I can actually tell you it's about one hundred and
thirty four yards from here. Probably want to play more
to the middle of the yeah that guy he said
in your pants.

Speaker 12 (34:48):
Oh, a glove and a club, not just glove. You're
not only a scholar, but you are a gentleman.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
I like that. Just just a glove club. That's probably why.

Speaker 12 (35:00):
Uh, that's what I'm going to start calling u Q
the club and the.

Speaker 13 (35:05):
Gloves that again again, wait hold on, because you were
up to four right.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
The area there? That is you are a freaking animal.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
God, don't you have four? Or I got five?

Speaker 12 (35:31):
See try to catch up to you for four pregnancies though,
I see, yeah, that's five.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
I dropped that hammer.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Well, she was doing the work, but yes, did you
did have to do that? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
That is true.

Speaker 12 (35:48):
Well they say it's the woman, but she has to
be able to release two eggs so or have the
ability for the eggs to split or whatever. It's it's
more genetically, it's it's or physiology. Whatever, it's the woman.
But anyways, I'm.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Still taking credit. I dropped that.

Speaker 12 (36:08):
Yeah, I pulled that club out, left the glove at home.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
I see what needed to be done. Yeah, you saw that,
just like a Mark start of the game. Did you
see that? I think it was Mark? Literally, I don't know.
He congratulations, bro, I'd like to get am am my
uncle to another QB or receiver, or I.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Probably shouldn't say anything more given the fact that I
kind of slipped down.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Can I just say, could I just say my response
when you told me the news whatever it was, I
just said to Brady, I'm like, would you give her
a break? Please give her an hour where she's not pregnant, Like,
I mean, what are we doing here? It's a lot,
It's but you know, now you get a starting five.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Five five years old, Yeah, it'll be a lot.

Speaker 12 (37:00):
I mean, this truly was a historic In case you
missed it, there you go.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I didn't know I was really we really didn't miss anything.

Speaker 12 (37:09):
I mean, I'm glad I found out with the rest
of our listening audience and Jonas was already in the Jonas.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Mark in the background.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
I think it's I think it sound from from you.
I don't know, I know, is that Marked said it
was like a trip to Napa.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
I hoping it's Mark. I'm hoping it is Mark.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Can we hear that again?

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Exclusive sound from Brady Quinn on his last trip to Napa,
If you can.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
I mean, I didn't really mark his backage stretch, but
I don't think i've ever heard mark let loose the
horse sound.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Hey, But at least you know I can keep a secret,
