Speaker 3 (01:38):
I'll see that was a weekend. That was a weekend
of football.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Man, really not enough time?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Which one is your WU for? Though?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I mean I had to have seen at least a
hundred indefans in Chicago yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Travel It wasn't good, but you know what it's not.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Though it's bad, but it's not as bad as it
could it could be.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, we'll get to that. Well, we'll get to that.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
We have a segment probably devoted for close losses, which
and then we.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Went what your w was for? Well, it's football.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
To you.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I'm excited football is back. You know, you gotta move on.
It's the expanded playoff era, so you can. You can
lose one to lose maybe three. So yeah, but we.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Will talk about it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It was the it was America's game of the week.
It was the big one. It was the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It was they delivered.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
They delivered well Dallas did and uh and then all
of a sudden, Mike Zimmer and that defense said, yeah,
we're gonna go ahead and dismiss whatever happened to that
playoff game against Green Bay, and they whooped that ass yesterday.
That was a beating and a half.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
But don't you feel like Dallas is beginning to be
the Baltimore of the NFC.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
It's like like.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Now under Mike McCarthy, we don't worry about whether or
not they're a playoff team.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That was a.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Problem before with Jason Garrett. That's not a concern anymore.
It's like, all right, that was a great win. I mean, well,
excuse me, good win granted versus my Super Bowl pick
the team to win at all?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
A lot of work. Do you there?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Can't jump off?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh no, no, no, long season long season, sixteen more
to go, but is that where they're at? Like, are
we that surprised?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I thought about you to on that one too, to
be don't worry, you know, all we need to do
is get the tournament at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's all we need to do.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I thought about Jonas with the Bears.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I mean, they won, but you know that's not a
playoff team. That's not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm sorry, I get it, trust me, I watched.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But isn't this getting to that point?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I mean, look, it's congrats the Dack by the way,
biggest contract NFL history, over two hundred and thirty million guaranteed.
I mean, I just the Cowboys got business done when
they needed to on and off the field, especially Week one.
But that's not ultimately what's going to determine Mike McCarthy's
job status. It's what they do once it comes to
(04:16):
the postseason.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's correct. I'm not trying to take anything away from
the win. It was a dominant win.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
But it's also like the difference of two franchises right now,
where you've got one that's been a twelve win team
that gets the playoff, and you've got another one that's
like still trying to find its way of what are
we doing at the quarterback spot? I mean both tackles out.
It was gonna be hard for them to be productive,
especially with that matchup. But I look at it just go,
(04:43):
You've got a team of the Cleveland Browns that they
know what they're dealing with. It's just about trying to
get it there for Dallas. Great win, but this isn't
what we're gonna be judged.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Based off of those And it's also Jerry Jones all
off season, I mean multiple times throughout the offseason, he's
brought up the Green Bay thing, the Green Bay thing
like that loss still resonates with him. And so yeah,
like anybody that says, well, you know, why not you know,
appreciate what they're doing in the regular season, well because
the owner is saying, listen, this is all nice. We're
(05:14):
winning twelve games a year, but we're not doing it
in the postseason. And that loss still I think bothers
Jerry Jones, bothers that organization people up top. And so
now it's a way we go with another Cowboys fun
field season.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Ceed Lamb snapped. He snapped out, I mean were you
concerned about would he be ready to go, not being
in training camp, does he need to get back into
game shape or whatever. He Cede Lamb is a is
a guy, and he's going to make a statement for
(05:48):
being the best in the league. He will, He will
make a statement this year. Dak Prescott looked good and
I know that there's the talk of what they do
in the postseason. One hundred will be what Mike McCarthy
has judged off of. I agree with you on that queue,
but I also agree that you got to go one
(06:09):
game out of time too, right. It's it's always a
one game season in terms of if you're going to
even be good enough or what type of momentum you
have going into the playoffs. Are are you a home team?
Are you a good team? Did you limp into it?
Did you stumble into it? How did you go through
the regular season? Because quite frankly, if you don't do
(06:32):
well in the regular season, he don't have to worry
about what he's going to be judged and measured on
in the playoffs because they won't be going to them.
I'll say this, I'm not going to look at any
of these teams except Carolina and say that they're done
for I'm not going to look at any of them
and say that I feel horribly bad for Bryce Young
(06:56):
because what the trend looks like for him doesn't look great.
But I'm not gonna go too deep into that. I'm
gonna stay on Dallas. When I look at all of
these teams, I'm not gonna get too high on the
fact that Dallas looked like a team. Need I say
(07:17):
what Jerry Jones has been saying all season. They looked
like an all in team. They did. They looked good
on defense, they were flying around. They got tray Von back.
I think that's a tremendous obviously a tremendous addition back
to their defense after losing him, and it's nice to
see him flying around. Mike is Micah Parsons. I mean,
(07:42):
it just is what it is. Like you you had
better figure out a way to avoid him versus try him.
Do not do not think that you're unless you're gonna
plan on saying somebody else has to beat us. Terms
of putting two or three guys on him and blocking him.
(08:05):
Michael Parsons is going to dominate his part of the game,
and he's going to impact what an offense does. So
to me, looking at Dallas yesterday, they I mean Zeke.
Zeke's obviously not the fact that he was, but Zeke
serves a very nice purpose in that run game with
pass pickups and those hard yards, Like he's like a
(08:28):
battering ram running back, now, you know. And I was
impressed by Dallas. I really was watching that game and
watching Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
See, he went off man.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
He went off, he went for sixty one, he went
off man when they used him, he did what he
needed to do. And I don't know Cleveland. I want
to say it's a head scratcher, but if I'm being honest,
that's what I was expecting. But I don't want to
say that's what I was expecting and until we get
(09:01):
into week five, six or seven, because they could turn
it around.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So the old line obviously was banged up.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
But I was watching the game yesterday and I'm looking
at the second half and thinking to myself, there's no
way Deshaun Watson makes it through this season in one piece,
like if that's he was taking a beating.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Right But but but eventually Willison Cocklan will be back.
Willis excuse me, That's that's one of the biggest reasons
when you have both tackles out and you're going up
against that defense with Micah Parsons the way they can rush.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I just I mean, it was a bit of an outlier, Like.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I don't suspect it'll be like that every single week
for me, you don't have both your starting tackles.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It's uh, it just did not.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I'm not. I'm not in on Deshaun Watson. I'm sorry.
I think and they pay they got to pay him
all that money his day cap space, like as you've
been mentioning the whole time. I'm just not. I'm just
not a belief. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm just not.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm not a believer in Deshaun Watson. I'm just not.
I just don't see a guy that's going to be
the guy that people think he was at the moment
in time he was in Houston. I think that's a
long gone deal. That's a pipe dream to think that
he's going to be this, this world beater at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I mean, the last time that he was a really
good starting quarterback in the NFL was what twenty twenty.
It's four years and injuries, you know, the weird off
field stuff, everything that came along with it, Like, yeah,
the roster is good, but I just I'm with you.
I just don't see it. I don't think it's there anymore.
(10:43):
And they're just going to have to wear it and
hope that, you know, they can get something and improve,
you know, I guess around him, maybe get a better
more of a running game. Maybe, you know, Jameis Winston
gets an opportunity at some point. But I just I
look at it and I think Stefanski, I don't know
if he's got the power to be able to make
(11:04):
the decision. But I just still go back to Mary
kay Cabot, who said a couple of months ago they
will not be shy about benching him if they feel
like it's going to upgrade the position and they're gonna
get more out of whoever's behind him. But they ran
a graphic on the game yesterday and showed listen, when
he's not in and they've got to turn to another quarterback,
(11:27):
the numbers are better. And then meanwhile, Baker Mayfield's just
lighting up Washington yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
How awesome was that?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's great?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Let me be bad for Washington. I don't think it
was awesome. I thought it was a good game for
Tampa there, but I mean.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Well awesome and the respect of what happened, what occurred
between Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Washington, We'll get to them at some point.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But yeah, yeah, I'm so so, you're not alone. To you,
You're not alone, Broy Good.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
It was just it's good to see a guy who,
you know, I thought had taken to Cleveland to a
point where it was as good as it was going
to be at that time, and they've continued to build
the roster to a point now where I think if
he's in Cleveland, that game looks entirely different. Maybe not
a ton different because of the issue with the tackles
and that defensive front, but to me, much better quarterback play,
(12:23):
much more consistent quarterback play.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I think they have a chance to compete and win
the game if Baker Mayfield is in that game. I'm
sorry and Djoku Atkins for Judy Amari that you have
a ton of guys more. I just think it's the quarterback.
(12:50):
I'm gonna be honest, I think it's the quarterback. And granted,
the the Dallas offense gave a daunting Cleveland defense. That
Cleveland defense will be everything that Cleveland needs in order
to make a run for the playoffs in order to
be competitive in the AFC North. That defense will live
(13:14):
up to its billing if if the health of the
main guys stays what it's supposed to be. But I
think the achilles heel of this of this team is
that they have to unequivocally put their trust in the
hands of a quarterback that just is not going to
(13:37):
be able to deliver what it is that that the
team is going to need. That's that's just my take
on it. I don't want to feel like I'm throwing shade,
but y'all know me. You know, some some days sometimes
I'm the half glass. I'm the glass half empty, not
half fool. I'm half empty on this one. I think
as long as he's their quarterback, unless he proves me otherwise,
(13:58):
that's going to be the achilles this team.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Man.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I only know the fans perspective, just because there's so
many you know, Cleveland fans around it, you know, central
Ohio area, and it's everyone's just tired of it, and
honestly like they're tired of kind of the like and
this is what one buddy.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Said to me yesterday.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
He's like, man, it feels like he just makes it,
makes excuses for everything that doesn't go right, and instead
of just owning it and taking accountability.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And he was like, man, he's like, the guy's getting
paid two hundred and thirty million or whatever it was
guaranteed he goes. At some point, you have to be
able to take criticism.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
And I do feel like, I mean, think about him, well,
let's be real for a second, between his agent, his
quarterback coach.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
All parties involved.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
There's a lot of sensitivity about everything that happened off
the field, the jokes that have been thrown around. At
some point, you have to step up and kind of
be a man and be like, yeah, it's on me,
like I signed this contract, I did, whatever would happened,
was accused of the past, Like he's got to be
accountable for all of that, and it doesn't feel like
he always is. I think that's the frustrating part too.
(15:04):
It's one thing if you're not going to be good
enough or performing well, whatever the case is, it's it's
another it makes even worse when you don't take responsibility.
When you're the key component to all of that, and
I think I think that's the frustrating part for Browns
fans out there right now, is they're living with this
(15:25):
and they've got to for at least another couple of
years after this year.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I think his dead cap hits like one hundred and
seventy some million.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
It's ridiculous, like and look, you can blame ownership on that,
because this decision to sign and trade for Deshaun Watson
was all Jimmy Haslm and before they kind of went
on this run where they had, you know, Baker Mayfield.
If you go back and look at the ownership tenure
of Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Haslm, he was He's been awful as an owner. Awful.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I mean a to sixteen season, one and fifteen season
and everything they've gone through and firing coach after coach
after coach and not even giving guys really chances. And
then he settles on Kevin Stefanski. They have a playoff year,
they go to Pittsburgh b Pittser in the playoffs. That's
the moment where you say, all right, Eureka, we've got it.
I don't need to move on from my quarterback and
(16:20):
instead whatever transpires between Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Haslam transpires,
and this is the end result, Like this is his
was his response to Baker Mayfield and whatever took place
between those two. And now this is where the Crowns
are with a roster that with any almost any other
quarterback playing at an average level, probably could have a
(16:41):
shot at winning a super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Most expensive gaff in NFL history.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
I mean, I might go down as the worst end
on that trade contract everything at a four.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, And that's the other part of it, like not
even just the contract, everything they gave up for it.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And I'm just not I'm not. I'm not one of
those guys to hate on somebody's money. God bless you,
you made your money. But this one might go down
in the history and the animals as the worst. And
I said that when it happened to be honest, like
we were joking. We talked about hard towels and and
and deep massages and all that stuff. We were joking
(17:17):
around when we were talking about them. But I'm just
telling you, man, what I looked at yesterday, that doesn't
look like that's going to trend in a different direction.
Tackles back or not it just it just you know,
it's like they say, believe you're lying eyes, Like, believe
you're lying eyes. Man, At some point, if it looks
like a duck and it quacks like a duck and
(17:41):
it walks like a duck, it's a duck. All I'm
gonna say.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Do you think that it was like how soon before
the game or how soon before I guess better question
how long ago was this contract with Dak finalized? Because
I do wonder if because they gave him what.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It did look like it was like Dang Dak balk.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
But it was, but because it happened right before the game.
And look at the guaranteed dollars. It was one million
more than what Deshaun got. And I just wonder if
they were like, yeah, we're gonna sign off on this,
but we're going to drop the news right before you
go play the guy that that organization gave the record contract.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I didn't even see it before the game. I was
just watch I was traveling, so I was watching the
game on my phone and and like airport bars and
stuff like that because we were delayed all day. I
literally just got home like fifteen minutes ago. But I'll
tell you just for me, Dak Prescott looked legit yesterday.
(18:41):
I'll tell you that now. Well, the reason of when
to do it and how they did it, I don't know.
I saw it. I saw it during the game, and
I was like, oh, like, you know, I said some profanity,
like one word in particular, you know, the one thing
that you know horses have and all that stuff. I
was like, oh, horse right, and and he was bawling
(19:02):
like it wasn't like you were looking at it and
you're looking across the field at the guy that had
the other contract, a large you were just looking at
Dek Prescott like. He looked sharp, he looked crisp, he
looked confident. They looked confident. The Cowboys look like a
team that's ready to handle their business. That's what it
(19:24):
looked like to me. So if I'm Jerry Jones today,
or if I'm even Mike McCarthy, you.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Know, I'm pleased.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
I'm pleased coming out of week one saying that, you
know what, if we can hold this together, stay healthy,
some good things, you know, stay in our favor. This
is a team which, by the way, here's me making
it about me, as I usually do this will be
a team that is actually very very competitive within this
(19:54):
regular season, and I think they'll be pretty pretty competitive
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, I mean, like I said, it really comes down
to what they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
That's what that's about. I mean, I love May for sure.
I feel like Dak played well. I mean, you know
what wasn't like, Oh no, I'm just I mean, you.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Thrown numbers are a pedestrian. Yeah it's this pedestrian, but
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
But it is.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
For his that line too.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
But yeah, I mean, it wasn't like you lit the
world on fire. I was more impressed by Tyreek Hill
overcoming whatever the hell happened.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
As well before that. He's fast to him doing that.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
And then, by the way, the throw of the decade
would have been Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I have never seen anything like that. Did you see that?
Off his back foot from seventy yards down field?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I mean, that is the most ridiculous throw I've ever
seen in my Like when you want to ask why
I was saying, who That's why. I've never seen a
throw like that in mine entire life. And that kid
is just flat out a superstar. In the making, like
you want to talk about like show out. I know
they lost, but he keeps that entire thing. He keeps
(21:11):
it that the entire team competitive. It's not like the
roster around him is really that supportive at least maybe
offensive speaking.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I mean, I just he makes all of that go.
That kid's impressive.
Speaker 2 (21:25):

your boy and they was like, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
What we do that chef chef the way?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What do I keep saying?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Koka?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Everyone says he looks like an NFL linebacker, that's what
he has the same physique as you.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
How about Jeff Darlington being at this you know, being.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
We I'm on a group taxt with Jeff and my
first comment to him was, Jeff, I'm not hanging out
with you anymore because I think the cops are following you,
or the stories with cops follow you.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I don't know. I'm not sure if it's the chicken,
the egg, you know, whatever came first.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
All I know is if you're around Jeff Darlington, someone's
getting arrested, someone someone's getting detained.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
You got to be half profile too, by the way.
That's someone has to be somewhat.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
But here's the thing is, I don't want to test
out that theory, you know what I'm saying, Like, I
don't need I don't need to beat Wagon or whoever
else getting detained if I ever heard.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
That you was hanging with Jeff and you got detained exactly.
I mean, first, I'm gonna make sure you're okay, obviously,
and and I'm going to add eight for you, of course,
like there's no way that Brady Quinn should be getting
if it.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Wasn't that guy him.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
But then I'm gonna be like, then Lee would be like, hey, man,
what could I do?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Man?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
What help you out there?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
On his back? Many man, don't cuff him. Dude. Hey,
that's a probably good flask man.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
I mean honestly, like, listen, you guys know and I
know you guys are very very like really really big
supporters of first responders and military as well stuff. I'm
I'm but with that being said, you know, every once
in a while, you get you get somebody who takes
it way, way too seriously, and they take it too far. Man,
(26:02):
you do not have to put your knee and and
Tyreek Hills back. The dude is trying to go to
the game like he may have done something wrong. Them Clys, Kimbles, Campbell,
they dat that, and you know that's wrong because.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I did nothing. So Levarn, here's what I want you
to do.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I mean, obviously not play for enough teams where I
could speak to the various ways in which you get
to a stadium in other places. Take me through what
it was like in Washington, Take me through what it
was like in New York. Because here's what I wanted
people to understand. It's very similar to the situation like
in Valhalla with Scotti Scheffler, in the sense of there's
one way in, one way out, there's a ton of trial,
a lot of commotions, a lot of things going on.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
This is you got to break the law to get
to you have to break the law to get to
the stadium.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Well sometimes sometimes right, And I'm not saying that was
specifically the case here. I'm just trying to paint the
picture for those out there listening. Like when you're a
player and you you got people telgain, you got all
this kind of stuff going on around there, and yet
you got a place to be and you're driving in
there's times and you get fined by the way, like
it doesn't matter if it's game day, like you don't
(27:11):
get there and you know, however, many hours before ended
all that you're you're asking to get fined.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
So take me through what it was like for you
in Washington, York. But I'll start here.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
But law enforcement was already aware of the fact that
getting into FedEx Field, there are more than one way
to get in there. But the bottom line is you
still have to use certain roads to get to the stadium,
no matter if you use the four ninety five or
if you used back roads to and which by the way,
(27:41):
if you thought you were smart enough to use the
back roads to try to get to the stadium. You
were going to get caught up as well, and more
often than not, q the closer you got to the stadium,
you had to use like the shoulder. Like you would
see grow of guys who drove to the game from
(28:03):
from green Belt Marriotte, which I think they stay at
a different place now, but when I was there, it
was green Belt Marriotte, which was literally right next to
College Park. So you're not it's not like you're a
hop skipping a jump away from the stadium. You got
to get on the highway basically to get to the stadium.
And sometimes you're not talking just game day traffic. You're
(28:24):
talking just Sunday traffic on four ninety five and you're
the earliest you can leave.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You leave early.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
That's fine if you have the you know, if you
have the police escort, that's different. But if you're driving,
more often than not, you're getting over on the shoulder
to get to the exit ramp that you need to
take to Arena Drift. Get to the exit ramp at
Arena Drive, you see the traffic and all the patterns
that they have going on there. You get into a
(28:53):
different lane that may not be a real lane and
you go in and out of the traffic of the
people are trying to find their parking spots and different
things like.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
That, to get all the way up to.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
The drive where you finally come because at some point
they stopped the traffic. It's just all parking. And then
you get to the part of the stadium where you
can actually make the right and then go to where
the player's parking lot is. But it's very hectic driving
into a game because the game day traffic is very
(29:28):
very I mean it's I just went through it. I
just went through it in State college, so it's like
that in college too, even though you know player players
aren't driving to the games. They take the bus, but
it's still the traffic is crazy. And to believe we
escort you a certain way.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
Dude, Saturday morning, all right, Michigan, Texas didn't kick off
till noon.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Can't even our show didn't start till our.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Show didn't start till nine am. We had to have
a police escort. This is how easy and Arbor was.
We had to have a police escort from our hotel
to get to our set at six forty five am
because that's how packed everything was. Everyone driving in for it,
the tailgating everyone around campus. In the stadium, it was
(30:18):
that packed, which we had to take a police escort
just to be able to get to our set, which
was just adjacent from the stadium at six on a Saturday.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
To say driving, they're saying he was weaving in and
out of cars, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
He was well, which which again he was detained at
the stadium. So I don't know how how long they
were following him and what transpired, but at some point,
and I'm not I'm not advocating for an NFL player
to break the law, but when it comes down to
it's the opening game of a season for a team
(30:57):
and all the excitement, there's gonna be a lot of
stuff going on on and for an over zealous cop,
state trooper, whatever it is to Philly needs to pull
the dude out and handcuff him and not just be like,
all right, I know who this is. Maybe give him
a stern warning and say, you know, go on, good
luck to that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
It is crazy to.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Me, And as you have said, I mean, look, I've
got a foundation that works with the military, you know,
we help out first responders, etc.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like the police force.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
I'm all for it, but there's also point in time
where you're like, you got to make a special exception.
They should have made a special exception for Scotti, Scheffler,
They should have made a special exception for Tyreek Hill
and been more understanding of the situation. I mean, it
doesn't matter if it was Cleveland Denver, which I always
thought Denver was a little more stressful getting in than
(31:46):
Cleveland just because of kind of where the stadium was
and the process of getting in to that stadium. Cleveland
was a little bit easier for whatever reason. The way
you park for the players and all that. Denver was
just crazy, and maybe just the traffic and the way
you know, twenty five is and all that where else
coming from, but that was always a little bit difficult.
You know, Kansas City, if you were really pushing, it
(32:08):
could have been difficult for you to get there, only
because there is so much tailgating, people, barbecue and etc.
Out there before the game, so that could be a
nightmare for you. But whatever the case is, I just
don't understand. I mean, I told you guys the stories
of Logan Thomas back when he was potentially the starting
quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. A cop wouldn't let him
down the ramp into the stadium, and purely because he
(32:31):
forgot his parking pass. So he's just standing there, just
standing there right outside with this guy when it's like, hey,
here's a media guy, pal, this is his idea, this
is who this is who he's a player, Like, we
don't need to go over the top about this, make
this a big deal. Like I just don't understand how
this happens. Maybe it's a matter of making sure the
(32:52):
guys who actually work around the stadium in that vicinity
and the officers and the police force have a better
understanding of who the players are and making sure they
get there all right.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I'll say this. I saw a cranky cop in the
airport yesterday and I just figured I talked to him
just to like, you know, just try to make him
feel good about the day, because it seemed like he
just didn't feel like being there. And his name was Rich.
I heard the guy say, hey, excuse me, Rich, and
(33:24):
he moved out away, and he was like looking at people, like,
you know, he was waiting to arrest you if you
did the wrong thing. And I go, hey, man, how
you doing and he goes, yeah, yeah, how are you?
I go, oh, man, I just you know, just I'm good,
just getting through this security, this that, and O. I
was just trying to get home. He's like, okay, buddy.
(33:45):
I was like, where are you from? He goes from Pennsylvania.
I go, oh okay, I go what part you know?
He goes, I'm from Pittsburgh. I go, oh, okay. This
wasn't going very well right and I go, well, what
part of Pittsburgh? And he looked at me like, please
(34:06):
do not ask me any more questions. So he didn't
say it, but he was looking at me that way.
And he goes why and I go, I'm from Pittsburgh.
He goes okay. I was like, yeah, I went to
North Hills High. He looked at me like he saw
a ghost. He goes, class of eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I said, are you serious?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
And he started laughing and we started laughing.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I guy, I said, you're a North Hills Indian and
he goes, I'm a North Hills Indian. Hammer how about it?
How about it? Felt really good?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Man? We started we started sharing some war stories. So
it went from it went from really like awkward and
why are you still here talking to me? To we
were talking, We had a great time, ended up taking
some fun selfies together. So I'm just saying there was
some positive at least.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Like two dudes take it selfies.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Oh yeah, right, I'm talking.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
I can guarantee you his body cam had some really
really fun laughs on there.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
That is nice of you, it is.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
It was nice to him too, shouts out to my
man Rich.

Lee did Lap Guys.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Quick SoundBite for you.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Now that Tom Brady is in the broadcast booth, why
not compare him to Tony Romo?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
And who better to do it than Drew Bledsoe who
played with both of them. Take a listen for what
he had to say.
Speaker 9 (36:22):
The decision to gave me a halftime of the game
and throw Romo in there really didn't agree with that one.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
If you're watching this, Romo, you know this is true.
Speaker 9 (36:29):
The minute that he became the starter, he became pretty
big in his own mind, and he was no longer
the curious and inquisitive guy. What that was the difference
between him and Tommy. Tommy became the starter, he still
was asking all the questions, where all of a sudden,
Romo was the guy that.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Had all the answers, Bang bang taking shine down.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
You know, I was the reason why he went in there.
By the way, I was like the last listen to
getting I got, I got a safety on him and
then they ended up taking him out like shortly after.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
What do you think of Romo? I don't think.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
I think he's just like, I don't know him, but
I just feel like, you know.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Did you what to say? Slappy? Silly? Slappy? Yeah, he's
just slappy. I mean I don't know him. You know
you got the oule before, was I did?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
I tried to air air brake it, but since you
caught it, I mean slappy was
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Man, really not enough time?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Which one is your WU for? Though?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
I mean I had to have seen at least a
hundred indefans in Chicago yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Travel It wasn't good, but you know what it's not.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Though it's bad, but it's not as bad as it
could it could be.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, we'll get to that. Well, we'll get to that.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
We have a segment probably devoted for close losses, which
and then we.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Went what your w was for? Well, it's football.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
To you.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I'm excited football is back. You know, you gotta move on.
It's the expanded playoff era, so you can. You can
lose one to lose maybe three. So yeah, but we.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Will talk about it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It was the it was America's game of the week.
It was the big one. It was the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It was they delivered.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
They delivered well Dallas did and uh and then all
of a sudden, Mike Zimmer and that defense said, yeah,
we're gonna go ahead and dismiss whatever happened to that
playoff game against Green Bay, and they whooped that ass yesterday.
That was a beating and a half.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
But don't you feel like Dallas is beginning to be
the Baltimore of the NFC.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
It's like like.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Now under Mike McCarthy, we don't worry about whether or
not they're a playoff team.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
That was a.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Problem before with Jason Garrett. That's not a concern anymore.
It's like, all right, that was a great win. I mean, well,
excuse me, good win granted versus my Super Bowl pick
the team to win at all?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
A lot of work. Do you there?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Can't jump off?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Oh no, no, no, long season long season, sixteen more
to go, but is that where they're at? Like, are
we that surprised?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
I thought about you to on that one too, to
be don't worry, you know, all we need to do
is get the tournament at the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's all we need to do.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I thought about Jonas with the Bears.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I mean, they won, but you know that's not a
playoff team. That's not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I'm sorry, I get it, trust me, I watched.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But isn't this getting to that point?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
I mean, look, it's congrats the Dack by the way,
biggest contract NFL history, over two hundred and thirty million guaranteed.
I mean, I just the Cowboys got business done when
they needed to on and off the field, especially Week one.
But that's not ultimately what's going to determine Mike McCarthy's
job status. It's what they do once it comes to
(04:16):
the postseason.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
That's correct. I'm not trying to take anything away from
the win. It was a dominant win.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
But it's also like the difference of two franchises right now,
where you've got one that's been a twelve win team
that gets the playoff, and you've got another one that's
like still trying to find its way of what are
we doing at the quarterback spot? I mean both tackles out.
It was gonna be hard for them to be productive,
especially with that matchup. But I look at it just go,
(04:43):
You've got a team of the Cleveland Browns that they
know what they're dealing with. It's just about trying to
get it there for Dallas. Great win, but this isn't
what we're gonna be judged.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Based off of those And it's also Jerry Jones all
off season, I mean multiple times throughout the offseason, he's
brought up the Green Bay thing, the Green Bay thing
like that loss still resonates with him. And so yeah,
like anybody that says, well, you know, why not you know,
appreciate what they're doing in the regular season, well because
the owner is saying, listen, this is all nice. We're
(05:14):
winning twelve games a year, but we're not doing it
in the postseason. And that loss still I think bothers
Jerry Jones, bothers that organization people up top. And so
now it's a way we go with another Cowboys fun
field season.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Ceed Lamb snapped. He snapped out, I mean were you
concerned about would he be ready to go, not being
in training camp, does he need to get back into
game shape or whatever. He Cede Lamb is a is
a guy, and he's going to make a statement for
(05:48):
being the best in the league. He will, He will
make a statement this year. Dak Prescott looked good and
I know that there's the talk of what they do
in the postseason. One hundred will be what Mike McCarthy
has judged off of. I agree with you on that queue,
but I also agree that you got to go one
(06:09):
game out of time too, right. It's it's always a
one game season in terms of if you're going to
even be good enough or what type of momentum you
have going into the playoffs. Are are you a home team?
Are you a good team? Did you limp into it?
Did you stumble into it? How did you go through
the regular season? Because quite frankly, if you don't do
(06:32):
well in the regular season, he don't have to worry
about what he's going to be judged and measured on
in the playoffs because they won't be going to them.
I'll say this, I'm not going to look at any
of these teams except Carolina and say that they're done
for I'm not going to look at any of them
and say that I feel horribly bad for Bryce Young
(06:56):
because what the trend looks like for him doesn't look great.
But I'm not gonna go too deep into that. I'm
gonna stay on Dallas. When I look at all of
these teams, I'm not gonna get too high on the
fact that Dallas looked like a team. Need I say
(07:17):
what Jerry Jones has been saying all season. They looked
like an all in team. They did. They looked good
on defense, they were flying around. They got tray Von back.
I think that's a tremendous obviously a tremendous addition back
to their defense after losing him, and it's nice to
see him flying around. Mike is Micah Parsons. I mean,
(07:42):
it just is what it is. Like you you had
better figure out a way to avoid him versus try him.
Do not do not think that you're unless you're gonna
plan on saying somebody else has to beat us. Terms
of putting two or three guys on him and blocking him.
(08:05):
Michael Parsons is going to dominate his part of the game,
and he's going to impact what an offense does. So
to me, looking at Dallas yesterday, they I mean Zeke.
Zeke's obviously not the fact that he was, but Zeke
serves a very nice purpose in that run game with
pass pickups and those hard yards, Like he's like a
(08:28):
battering ram running back, now, you know. And I was
impressed by Dallas. I really was watching that game and
watching Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
See, he went off man.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
He went off, he went for sixty one, he went
off man when they used him, he did what he
needed to do. And I don't know Cleveland. I want
to say it's a head scratcher, but if I'm being honest,
that's what I was expecting. But I don't want to
say that's what I was expecting and until we get
(09:01):
into week five, six or seven, because they could turn
it around.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So the old line obviously was banged up.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
But I was watching the game yesterday and I'm looking
at the second half and thinking to myself, there's no
way Deshaun Watson makes it through this season in one piece,
like if that's he was taking a beating.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Right But but but eventually Willison Cocklan will be back.
Willis excuse me, That's that's one of the biggest reasons
when you have both tackles out and you're going up
against that defense with Micah Parsons the way they can rush.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I just I mean, it was a bit of an outlier, Like.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I don't suspect it'll be like that every single week
for me, you don't have both your starting tackles.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It's uh, it just did not.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I'm not. I'm not in on Deshaun Watson. I'm sorry.
I think and they pay they got to pay him
all that money his day cap space, like as you've
been mentioning the whole time. I'm just not. I'm just
not a belief. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm just not.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm not a believer in Deshaun Watson. I'm just not.
I just don't see a guy that's going to be
the guy that people think he was at the moment
in time he was in Houston. I think that's a
long gone deal. That's a pipe dream to think that
he's going to be this, this world beater at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I mean, the last time that he was a really
good starting quarterback in the NFL was what twenty twenty.
It's four years and injuries, you know, the weird off
field stuff, everything that came along with it, Like, yeah,
the roster is good, but I just I'm with you.
I just don't see it. I don't think it's there anymore.
(10:43):
And they're just going to have to wear it and
hope that, you know, they can get something and improve,
you know, I guess around him, maybe get a better
more of a running game. Maybe, you know, Jameis Winston
gets an opportunity at some point. But I just I
look at it and I think Stefanski, I don't know
if he's got the power to be able to make
(11:04):
the decision. But I just still go back to Mary
kay Cabot, who said a couple of months ago they
will not be shy about benching him if they feel
like it's going to upgrade the position and they're gonna
get more out of whoever's behind him. But they ran
a graphic on the game yesterday and showed listen, when
he's not in and they've got to turn to another quarterback,
(11:27):
the numbers are better. And then meanwhile, Baker Mayfield's just
lighting up Washington yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
How awesome was that?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
It's great?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Let me be bad for Washington. I don't think it
was awesome. I thought it was a good game for
Tampa there, but I mean.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Well awesome and the respect of what happened, what occurred
between Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Washington, We'll get to them at some point.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
But yeah, yeah, I'm so so, you're not alone. To you,
You're not alone, Broy Good.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
It was just it's good to see a guy who,
you know, I thought had taken to Cleveland to a
point where it was as good as it was going
to be at that time, and they've continued to build
the roster to a point now where I think if
he's in Cleveland, that game looks entirely different. Maybe not
a ton different because of the issue with the tackles
and that defensive front, but to me, much better quarterback play,
(12:23):
much more consistent quarterback play.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I think they have a chance to compete and win
the game if Baker Mayfield is in that game. I'm
sorry and Djoku Atkins for Judy Amari that you have
a ton of guys more. I just think it's the quarterback.
(12:50):
I'm gonna be honest, I think it's the quarterback. And granted,
the the Dallas offense gave a daunting Cleveland defense. That
Cleveland defense will be everything that Cleveland needs in order
to make a run for the playoffs in order to
be competitive in the AFC North. That defense will live
(13:14):
up to its billing if if the health of the
main guys stays what it's supposed to be. But I
think the achilles heel of this of this team is
that they have to unequivocally put their trust in the
hands of a quarterback that just is not going to
(13:37):
be able to deliver what it is that that the
team is going to need. That's that's just my take
on it. I don't want to feel like I'm throwing shade,
but y'all know me. You know, some some days sometimes
I'm the half glass. I'm the glass half empty, not
half fool. I'm half empty on this one. I think
as long as he's their quarterback, unless he proves me otherwise,
(13:58):
that's going to be the achilles this team.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Man.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I only know the fans perspective, just because there's so
many you know, Cleveland fans around it, you know, central
Ohio area, and it's everyone's just tired of it, and
honestly like they're tired of kind of the like and
this is what one buddy.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Said to me yesterday.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
He's like, man, it feels like he just makes it,
makes excuses for everything that doesn't go right, and instead
of just owning it and taking accountability.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And he was like, man, he's like, the guy's getting
paid two hundred and thirty million or whatever it was
guaranteed he goes. At some point, you have to be
able to take criticism.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
And I do feel like, I mean, think about him, well,
let's be real for a second, between his agent, his
quarterback coach.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
All parties involved.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
There's a lot of sensitivity about everything that happened off
the field, the jokes that have been thrown around. At
some point, you have to step up and kind of
be a man and be like, yeah, it's on me,
like I signed this contract, I did, whatever would happened,
was accused of the past, Like he's got to be
accountable for all of that, and it doesn't feel like
he always is. I think that's the frustrating part too.
(15:04):
It's one thing if you're not going to be good
enough or performing well, whatever the case is, it's it's
another it makes even worse when you don't take responsibility.
When you're the key component to all of that, and
I think I think that's the frustrating part for Browns
fans out there right now, is they're living with this
(15:25):
and they've got to for at least another couple of
years after this year.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I think his dead cap hits like one hundred and
seventy some million.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
It's ridiculous, like and look, you can blame ownership on that,
because this decision to sign and trade for Deshaun Watson
was all Jimmy Haslm and before they kind of went
on this run where they had, you know, Baker Mayfield.
If you go back and look at the ownership tenure
of Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Haslm, he was He's been awful as an owner. Awful.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I mean a to sixteen season, one and fifteen season
and everything they've gone through and firing coach after coach
after coach and not even giving guys really chances. And
then he settles on Kevin Stefanski. They have a playoff year,
they go to Pittsburgh b Pittser in the playoffs. That's
the moment where you say, all right, Eureka, we've got it.
I don't need to move on from my quarterback and
(16:20):
instead whatever transpires between Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Haslam transpires,
and this is the end result, Like this is his
was his response to Baker Mayfield and whatever took place
between those two. And now this is where the Crowns
are with a roster that with any almost any other
quarterback playing at an average level, probably could have a
(16:41):
shot at winning a super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Most expensive gaff in NFL history.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
I mean, I might go down as the worst end
on that trade contract everything at a four.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, And that's the other part of it, like not
even just the contract, everything they gave up for it.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And I'm just not I'm not. I'm not one of
those guys to hate on somebody's money. God bless you,
you made your money. But this one might go down
in the history and the animals as the worst. And
I said that when it happened to be honest, like
we were joking. We talked about hard towels and and
and deep massages and all that stuff. We were joking
(17:17):
around when we were talking about them. But I'm just
telling you, man, what I looked at yesterday, that doesn't
look like that's going to trend in a different direction.
Tackles back or not it just it just you know,
it's like they say, believe you're lying eyes, Like, believe
you're lying eyes. Man, At some point, if it looks
like a duck and it quacks like a duck and
(17:41):
it walks like a duck, it's a duck. All I'm
gonna say.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Do you think that it was like how soon before
the game or how soon before I guess better question
how long ago was this contract with Dak finalized? Because
I do wonder if because they gave him what.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It did look like it was like Dang Dak balk.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
But it was, but because it happened right before the game.
And look at the guaranteed dollars. It was one million
more than what Deshaun got. And I just wonder if
they were like, yeah, we're gonna sign off on this,
but we're going to drop the news right before you
go play the guy that that organization gave the record contract.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I didn't even see it before the game. I was
just watch I was traveling, so I was watching the
game on my phone and and like airport bars and
stuff like that because we were delayed all day. I
literally just got home like fifteen minutes ago. But I'll
tell you just for me, Dak Prescott looked legit yesterday.
(18:41):
I'll tell you that now. Well, the reason of when
to do it and how they did it, I don't know.
I saw it. I saw it during the game, and
I was like, oh, like, you know, I said some profanity,
like one word in particular, you know, the one thing
that you know horses have and all that stuff. I
was like, oh, horse right, and and he was bawling
(19:02):
like it wasn't like you were looking at it and
you're looking across the field at the guy that had
the other contract, a large you were just looking at
Dek Prescott like. He looked sharp, he looked crisp, he
looked confident. They looked confident. The Cowboys look like a
team that's ready to handle their business. That's what it
(19:24):
looked like to me. So if I'm Jerry Jones today,
or if I'm even Mike McCarthy, you.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Know, I'm pleased.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
I'm pleased coming out of week one saying that, you
know what, if we can hold this together, stay healthy,
some good things, you know, stay in our favor. This
is a team which, by the way, here's me making
it about me, as I usually do this will be
a team that is actually very very competitive within this
(19:54):
regular season, and I think they'll be pretty pretty competitive
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yeah, I mean, like I said, it really comes down
to what they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
That's what that's about. I mean, I love May for sure.
I feel like Dak played well. I mean, you know
what wasn't like, Oh no, I'm just I mean, you.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Thrown numbers are a pedestrian. Yeah it's this pedestrian, but
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
But it is.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
For his that line too.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
But yeah, I mean, it wasn't like you lit the
world on fire. I was more impressed by Tyreek Hill
overcoming whatever the hell happened.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
As well before that. He's fast to him doing that.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
And then, by the way, the throw of the decade
would have been Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I have never seen anything like that. Did you see that?
Off his back foot from seventy yards down field?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
I mean, that is the most ridiculous throw I've ever
seen in my Like when you want to ask why
I was saying, who That's why. I've never seen a
throw like that in mine entire life. And that kid
is just flat out a superstar. In the making, like
you want to talk about like show out. I know
they lost, but he keeps that entire thing. He keeps
(21:11):
it that the entire team competitive. It's not like the
roster around him is really that supportive at least maybe
offensive speaking.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I mean, I just he makes all of that go.
That kid's impressive.
Speaker 2 (21:25):

Speaker 2 (23:06):
So I have a buddy who listens to this show,
listens to the podcast every single day. Good buddy of mine,
Huge Dolphins fan huge. I mean right, he's obnoxious and
have you gotten pretty good at that cute?
Speaker 3 (23:22):
He's like le and Buffett.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Man, I'm not talking about the song that like you're
a you're away from the mic, little dip, like that's
all I got.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
They got me a new mic.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Hell.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yeah, that's why you sound like real crisp and not
wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
No Nickel and Dime headsets anymore.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Na, this ain't Pelican Bay. Damno program, homie.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
So my buddy told, my buddy sent a text yesterday
and said, if Tyreek Hill scores.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
A touchdown, he'll he's going to do it. He's going
to do a handcuff, celebrate something, put.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Him on the ground, get your knee in his back.
He was going to do something.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Happened. Who just cut to the chase, Like how does
this happen?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Because they watching TV and they saw what happened to
your boy and they was like, you know.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
What we do that chef chef the way?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What do I keep saying?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Koka?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Everyone says he looks like an NFL linebacker, that's what
he has the same physique as you.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
How about Jeff Darlington being at this you know, being.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
We I'm on a group taxt with Jeff and my
first comment to him was, Jeff, I'm not hanging out
with you anymore because I think the cops are following you,
or the stories with cops follow you.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
I don't know. I'm not sure if it's the chicken,
the egg, you know, whatever came first.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
All I know is if you're around Jeff Darlington, someone's
getting arrested, someone someone's getting detained.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
You got to be half profile too, by the way.
That's someone has to be somewhat.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
But here's the thing is, I don't want to test
out that theory, you know what I'm saying, Like, I
don't need I don't need to beat Wagon or whoever
else getting detained if I ever heard.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
That you was hanging with Jeff and you got detained exactly.
I mean, first, I'm gonna make sure you're okay, obviously,
and and I'm going to add eight for you, of course,
like there's no way that Brady Quinn should be getting
if it.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Wasn't that guy him.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
But then I'm gonna be like, then Lee would be like, hey, man,
what could I do?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Man?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
What help you out there?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
On his back? Many man, don't cuff him. Dude. Hey,
that's a probably good flask man.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
I mean honestly, like, listen, you guys know and I
know you guys are very very like really really big
supporters of first responders and military as well stuff. I'm
I'm but with that being said, you know, every once
in a while, you get you get somebody who takes
it way, way too seriously, and they take it too far. Man,
(26:02):
you do not have to put your knee and and
Tyreek Hills back. The dude is trying to go to
the game like he may have done something wrong. Them Clys, Kimbles, Campbell,
they dat that, and you know that's wrong because.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I did nothing. So Levarn, here's what I want you
to do.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I mean, obviously not play for enough teams where I
could speak to the various ways in which you get
to a stadium in other places. Take me through what
it was like in Washington, Take me through what it
was like in New York. Because here's what I wanted
people to understand. It's very similar to the situation like
in Valhalla with Scotti Scheffler, in the sense of there's
one way in, one way out, there's a ton of trial,
a lot of commotions, a lot of things going on.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
This is you got to break the law to get
to you have to break the law to get to
the stadium.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Well sometimes sometimes right, And I'm not saying that was
specifically the case here. I'm just trying to paint the
picture for those out there listening. Like when you're a
player and you you got people telgain, you got all
this kind of stuff going on around there, and yet
you got a place to be and you're driving in
there's times and you get fined by the way, like
it doesn't matter if it's game day, like you don't
(27:11):
get there and you know, however, many hours before ended
all that you're you're asking to get fined.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
So take me through what it was like for you
in Washington, York. But I'll start here.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
But law enforcement was already aware of the fact that
getting into FedEx Field, there are more than one way
to get in there. But the bottom line is you
still have to use certain roads to get to the stadium,
no matter if you use the four ninety five or
if you used back roads to and which by the way,
(27:41):
if you thought you were smart enough to use the
back roads to try to get to the stadium. You
were going to get caught up as well, and more
often than not, q the closer you got to the stadium,
you had to use like the shoulder. Like you would
see grow of guys who drove to the game from
(28:03):
from green Belt Marriotte, which I think they stay at
a different place now, but when I was there, it
was green Belt Marriotte, which was literally right next to
College Park. So you're not it's not like you're a
hop skipping a jump away from the stadium. You got
to get on the highway basically to get to the stadium.
And sometimes you're not talking just game day traffic. You're
(28:24):
talking just Sunday traffic on four ninety five and you're
the earliest you can leave.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You leave early.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
That's fine if you have the you know, if you
have the police escort, that's different. But if you're driving,
more often than not, you're getting over on the shoulder
to get to the exit ramp that you need to
take to Arena Drift. Get to the exit ramp at
Arena Drive, you see the traffic and all the patterns
that they have going on there. You get into a
(28:53):
different lane that may not be a real lane and
you go in and out of the traffic of the
people are trying to find their parking spots and different
things like.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
That, to get all the way up to.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
The drive where you finally come because at some point
they stopped the traffic. It's just all parking. And then
you get to the part of the stadium where you
can actually make the right and then go to where
the player's parking lot is. But it's very hectic driving
into a game because the game day traffic is very
(29:28):
very I mean it's I just went through it. I
just went through it in State college, so it's like
that in college too, even though you know player players
aren't driving to the games. They take the bus, but
it's still the traffic is crazy. And to believe we
escort you a certain way.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
Dude, Saturday morning, all right, Michigan, Texas didn't kick off
till noon.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Can't even our show didn't start till our.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
Show didn't start till nine am. We had to have
a police escort. This is how easy and Arbor was.
We had to have a police escort from our hotel
to get to our set at six forty five am
because that's how packed everything was. Everyone driving in for it,
the tailgating everyone around campus. In the stadium, it was
(30:18):
that packed, which we had to take a police escort
just to be able to get to our set, which
was just adjacent from the stadium at six on a Saturday.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
To say driving, they're saying he was weaving in and
out of cars, that's what they're saying.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
He was well, which which again he was detained at
the stadium. So I don't know how how long they
were following him and what transpired, but at some point,
and I'm not I'm not advocating for an NFL player
to break the law, but when it comes down to
it's the opening game of a season for a team
(30:57):
and all the excitement, there's gonna be a lot of
stuff going on on and for an over zealous cop,
state trooper, whatever it is to Philly needs to pull
the dude out and handcuff him and not just be like,
all right, I know who this is. Maybe give him
a stern warning and say, you know, go on, good
luck to that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
It is crazy to.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Me, And as you have said, I mean, look, I've
got a foundation that works with the military, you know,
we help out first responders, etc.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like the police force.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
I'm all for it, but there's also point in time
where you're like, you got to make a special exception.
They should have made a special exception for Scotti, Scheffler,
They should have made a special exception for Tyreek Hill
and been more understanding of the situation. I mean, it
doesn't matter if it was Cleveland Denver, which I always
thought Denver was a little more stressful getting in than
(31:46):
Cleveland just because of kind of where the stadium was
and the process of getting in to that stadium. Cleveland
was a little bit easier for whatever reason. The way
you park for the players and all that. Denver was
just crazy, and maybe just the traffic and the way
you know, twenty five is and all that where else
coming from, but that was always a little bit difficult.
You know, Kansas City, if you were really pushing, it
(32:08):
could have been difficult for you to get there, only
because there is so much tailgating, people, barbecue and etc.
Out there before the game, so that could be a
nightmare for you. But whatever the case is, I just
don't understand. I mean, I told you guys the stories
of Logan Thomas back when he was potentially the starting
quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. A cop wouldn't let him
down the ramp into the stadium, and purely because he
(32:31):
forgot his parking pass. So he's just standing there, just
standing there right outside with this guy when it's like, hey,
here's a media guy, pal, this is his idea, this
is who this is who he's a player, Like, we
don't need to go over the top about this, make
this a big deal. Like I just don't understand how
this happens. Maybe it's a matter of making sure the
(32:52):
guys who actually work around the stadium in that vicinity
and the officers and the police force have a better
understanding of who the players are and making sure they
get there all right.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I'll say this. I saw a cranky cop in the
airport yesterday and I just figured I talked to him
just to like, you know, just try to make him
feel good about the day, because it seemed like he
just didn't feel like being there. And his name was Rich.
I heard the guy say, hey, excuse me, Rich, and
(33:24):
he moved out away, and he was like looking at people, like,
you know, he was waiting to arrest you if you
did the wrong thing. And I go, hey, man, how
you doing and he goes, yeah, yeah, how are you?
I go, oh, man, I just you know, just I'm good,
just getting through this security, this that, and O. I
was just trying to get home. He's like, okay, buddy.
(33:45):
I was like, where are you from? He goes from Pennsylvania.
I go, oh okay, I go what part you know?
He goes, I'm from Pittsburgh. I go, oh, okay. This
wasn't going very well right and I go, well, what
part of Pittsburgh? And he looked at me like, please
(34:06):
do not ask me any more questions. So he didn't
say it, but he was looking at me that way.
And he goes why and I go, I'm from Pittsburgh.
He goes okay. I was like, yeah, I went to
North Hills High. He looked at me like he saw
a ghost. He goes, class of eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I said, are you serious?
Speaker 4 (34:33):
And he started laughing and we started laughing.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I guy, I said, you're a North Hills Indian and
he goes, I'm a North Hills Indian. Hammer how about it?
How about it? Felt really good?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Man? We started we started sharing some war stories. So
it went from it went from really like awkward and
why are you still here talking to me? To we
were talking, We had a great time, ended up taking
some fun selfies together. So I'm just saying there was
some positive at least.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Like two dudes take it selfies.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
