That was?

Speaker 5 (01:29):
That's something let me tell you. When you're taking the.

Speaker 6 (01:32):
Cattle call of their southwest around up sometimes you get
stuck out in the pastures and you get left. You
get left a kind of fend for yourself, so you
have to venture to new frontiers. Sometimes you have to
take a discount airline that doesn't have Wi Fi, doesn't

(01:52):
have seats that move it all or do anything other
than just cramp you back in a row of twenty
twenty three A and you're just purchasing everything, your bags
to go to the bathroom, coffee, air everything, it's whatever.
It's whatever you got to do to get home.

potentially a big seat, maybe maybe not. And there is
free entertainment.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
People will throw down on that plane or get into
different arguments. You don't even have to have an iPad
to watch something. You can just watch the people get
on that plane.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
You take frontier.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Trust me, you're just praying to God you get to
point A to point B safely. That's the only thing
you're really looking to do.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, glad you made it back to it. But yeah,
thank you. It was.

Speaker 6 (02:51):
It was my son's birthday yesterday, so that was a
big thing and I was I was mostly upset that
was not to make it back for that.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Nice, Well, yeah, Saint Patty's day, baby, good for.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Him, I know. And then it hits different.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
Man, My Saint Patty's days will never be the same
now after that.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
So I'll just put it that way, a little more tame.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
I would say, they're as tame as they possibly could be.
And it's like, here's a sad thing for my family,
Like we we would wake up and obviously my dad
comes from an Irish heritage, so we would celebrate the holiday.
He would educate it, educate us on the holiday, and
it would be an all day affair. And since the

(03:32):
birth of my son, now now it's like trying to
make sure we got everything prepared for the birthday. You know,
obviously we're celebrating a little bit, but it's more really
about his birthday than anything else. And then trying to incorporate,
you know, that with Saint Patrick's Day. So it's just
it's an entirely different experience than what it used to be.
And I usually feel a lot better at least the
past two years on March eighteenth, than I did.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
In the past.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I wasn't aware that it was like an all day
thing until I remember talking to you one Saint Patty's Day.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
It was maybe eight in.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
The morning, and you were on the treadmill with a beer,
like wait what yeah, and you sent a picture.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And I said, okay, I had no idea. That's how
that's out work.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
Some people call it a fun run, you know. Other people,
you know, I'm not sure what.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
They call it, but used to.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Start get it in. I mean, what is since sincenos?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, I mean I've never done that one, but he's
trying to get it in. Why did I not think
of that before?

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Now? Since the since the birth of your child, what's
the hooligan Jeff Darlington doing with the Saint Patty's days now?

Speaker 5 (04:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
I'm not down around Jeff for the past two years
doing it. So it's it's tough. That's what I'm saying
is it's changed dramatically. I mean, there have been some
absolute battles on this show, like March eighteenth. For me,
if there's ever a time where I fell close to Lee,
It's been on March eighteenth, I would say, Starting from

(05:10):
March eighteenth, twenty twenty three and then moving backwards, I
would say those those days, those singular days throughout the
calendar year were the only.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
Time I think I could ever relate.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
To lead a lap.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I mean Lee took took part.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
Well.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, about to say, but it's a great segue to Lee.

Speaker 8 (05:29):
Yeah, I got my beads on my green my green
beer beads.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
By the way you do.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
To get the beads, Lee.

Speaker 8 (05:36):
Got to show them goodies, by the way your balls.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Did you show your goodies or were you with the
homie and they showed there because I'm sure you have
a ton of beads if it was a team effort.

Speaker 9 (05:54):
Once you get like a second Guinness or a green beer,
they just had them out to you.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
That comes with the beer basically.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
So yeah, by the way, LaVar, how about the lie
that Lee told yesterday on the air with all you know,
Saint Patty's Day's amateur Hour. Yeah, I usually stay away
from the bars, k Yeah, I know part of the bars.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Not only did he take part in.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
The bars, he had a shot a beer, he wore
some sort of like uh like Irish hat, like a
peaky blinders.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
In the picture Peak blinders.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Like it just went like, tried to convince us on
the air that now he was he was above all,
that he was better than Saint Patty's Day, only to
find out you went to some Irish pub and dressed
the part as well too.

Speaker 8 (06:34):
Yeah, I guess who who?

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Who were the rest of the blinders? Were you there
with the boys or were you there with the you know,
with the other.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
Yeah, you know, out with the boys.

Speaker 9 (06:44):
I got a call, and I probably would have just
stayed in, but I got a call from the boys.
Couldn't resist, okay, and then I went to my usual
spot and like I told you to expect, expect a cover,
there was a cover. Could hardly get the they had.
They pulled out the velvet rope, so he had to.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
To really had. They had to really convince you to
come out. I just couldn't resist.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
You just you didn't want to go with the cover.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
And then I thought, what was the cover league?

Speaker 9 (07:11):
It's only seven dollars, which was weird. I tried to say,
like I got a five on me. They're like, oh, yeah,
well we've got venmo. I was like, nah, I'll go
to so there. I went to the other one across
the street. Yeah, and then I forgot that.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I had to negotiate the entry fee.

Speaker 9 (07:25):
I did, well, hey man, I'm here every day. I
shouldn't have to pay an entry fee. And then uh,
I forgot that I had a baseball draft. So I
pulled that up up and that gave me an excuse
to say for a little longer, and uh, yeah, got
a few reals.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
Why would anyone have you be a part of a
baseball draft when you don't even pay up on your
fantasy football league.

Speaker 8 (07:44):
That's a good point.

Speaker 9 (07:44):
I don't know what Berto was thinking, especially having it
during Saint Patty's Day.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I still don't feel I still don't feel like you
answered the question though. How many of your homies were
you out with? I mean, you said you couldn't resist
going with them, but then you it. I went to
the door and they said seven dollars. So I went
across the street to another place where your boys in
both locations, Like how how does this work? Did they say, Hey,
that's way too much for us as well, we're going

(08:12):
with you, Lee? Like, how did that work?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Jonas, could you say what LeVar just said?

Speaker 6 (08:19):
But you know, in the voice that may be at
that particular baseball fantasy league, what would have.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Been specifically, like the cover charge?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Like Berto.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
A Lee, fo ah, forget the cover be in my league?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
You take paesels.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
It's pretty accurate. In fact, I haven't paid him yet.
I don't know when he's collecting, but oh gosh, by
the way.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Berto will collect just so you know, all right, Like
he's not like your other friendly all right. He might
knock him your door in the middle of the night
and be like, woo, get your what's up paying?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
I know where you work, dude.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
By the way the video Berto sent the other day,
I don't think anybody responded to, but it was some
soccer player had it short scrabbed and they're like, I
saw it. Why would Berto send us a soccer clip?
And then you watch it like, oh, that's why that's
you know, Berto, he's a big fan of all that.
But by the way, Berto is probably fired up right
now because baseball's starting up here momentarily and we've got

(09:28):
Dodgers cubs from Tokyo, you know, a live sporting event.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
While we're on the air.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
So enjoy these moments, boys, because they don't happen a
lot while we're doing this showing this time slot.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
I wasn't finished with Lee though. I still I still
want to know how did it, How did the bar
changing change and who was the crew and how did
that all play out? Did you get lucky at the bar?
Because he seems to be a chick magnet. I don't
know if you guys know this about Lee, but Lee
seems to be a chick magnet. Man. I was I
just want to know, in the midst of all of

(10:00):
the Guinnesses, how how did like, how did you and
your crew move where you're karaokeing, like, how did this happen?
How did it all go down? Well? Did your face
still intact? Did you did you not fall or anything
like that? Did you wabble? What? What took place? Because
Saint Patty's Day is almost like being on Bourbon Street.

Speaker 9 (10:18):
Right right right, No, I was drinking Wisconsinly. I have
my drink Wisconsinly shirt on, so all good. There went
to the one spot.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
You were drinking Wisconsinly.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, it's a it's a phrase. It like for Christ's sakes. Yeah,
I got what you were saying.

Speaker 9 (10:32):
Lee, So I got my green shirt on. Yeah, first spot,
like I said, cover was there. I poked my head
in and said like, gave the head nod to a
few people who were in there, who were the bartenders,
went across the street, got the met wept with the buddy.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
Then I started playing the fantasy baseball.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
You're continuing to be vague about the buddy though. Was
the buddy a dude or was the buddy a girl? No,
it was your gut.

Speaker 9 (10:56):
It was the home okay, And then we went uh.
Then it went to the good night and there were
leprechaun in the Uh. There was doing a back to
the feature, back back to the hood, lepre con back
to the hood, and then leprecn in space said hey
to the buddies there.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
Todd hadn't started.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
Yet, so just kind of gave a salute and then
went back home and drink wisconsinly.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
You know, now, did you go back home and drink
wisconstantly alone? Or did you meet back up with the
buddy at home?

Speaker 8 (11:22):
I met up with the girl at home.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Okay, all right, that's possible.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
What are you saying Wisconsin?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I'm like, I'm like, I never make.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
This like a phrase.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
See lebar knew what it was. I've never heard of
in my life.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I mean, he's got a Wisconsin shirt on. You know,
he's he's a Green Bay Packers fan. So you got
to put two and two together. He's a Packers fan,
he's drinking wisconstantly. I get. I got it. Least, what
does it mean?

Speaker 9 (11:47):
Well, if you go to Wisconsin in the airport, Milwaukee
or either one of them. Yeah, they have these shirts
everywhere that you go. It's called drink Wisconsinly, like drink responsibly,
but drink wisconsinly.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, here's what's happening.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
So Lee revealed on the ship demographic of It's.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
Been there what one time the last five years and
You'll come back with a shirt?

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Lee revealed on the show yesterday that when Brett Farr
went to the Vikings, he actually ditched his Packers allegiance
and rooted for the Vikings for that year. And I
think he feels guilty about it because he got shamed
by people over that comment, and so he decided to
really double down and go now, I'm a true Wisconsin
guy and that's why he's wearing the shirt and it's

(12:28):
still wearing it.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
That did you feel bad about it?

Speaker 8 (12:30):
Does people feel?

Speaker 6 (12:31):
We'll eventually realize that one FARV was there for two years, lely,
so it could have just been one year, because I
know he only had one really good year there and
another year wasn't as great. Good true, but also your
habitual liar, So who knows what you actually did and
who you actually for and how that all went down.

Speaker 9 (12:49):
Had I have my far of Jets, Jersey, I did
not get a far Vikings Jersey couldn't.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Bring me buy the crocs as well as I.

Speaker 9 (12:57):
Would, Yeah I would, and the g shock No no
I did not, but got out of there, just in
time to cope change my allegiance back to Green Bay for.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
The Super Bowl. You remember the name of the watch, Yeah,
far Ward g Show.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
I mean, if he's that big of a fan of
bred far if he might still.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's a screensaver.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
God, Lee, did you get faded last night? Man? Are
you faded? No?

Speaker 8 (13:24):
I'm good to go.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I'm ready to run. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (13:26):
Guinness go down like water.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
You know that? So I don't know about water, but
they I mean, it's it's heavy, it's like a meal.

Speaker 8 (13:33):
It's actually not.

Speaker 9 (13:35):
You think it's heavy because it's dark roast, but it's
actually a pretty smooth light beer is Guinness.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
It's a stout, what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (13:44):
If you look at it, it's it and consider it.
Guinness is considered a light beer. Yes, it's a stout,
but it's a it's it's considered like yeah, abb wise,
but yeah, yeah, it's not feeling.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
I tried yesterday to have one later on today.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Tell me what that looks likely.

Speaker 8 (14:03):
Okay, you got it.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
So it's like coffee.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
It's it's gonna look like someone shoveled mud in your toilet.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
It probably looks like that every time anyway, though, what's
the difference. He's like, this is Guinness, this this one
is more name brand than.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
The Tuesday big deal.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
So how many how many Guinness do you think you
could have in one in one night if you had to.

Speaker 8 (14:30):
If I had to, Yeah, I mean I don't know.
I'd lose count if I had to.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
There's it's the same. It's the same alcohol as like
a Miller light. Yeah, exactly, But you can drink a
Miller light because it's less filling than a Guinness is.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (14:47):
I get sick of them after about three or four.
I think I had about three or four Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Filling, he said they ran out againness glasses they did that.
He couldn't split the g right there you go. Couldn't
split to g. You know, if that gives you an
idea of how indicator of how many he was drinking,
you know, don't switch it up. You don't want that
to happen, that's for sure. Well that happens every once

(15:11):
in a while. Yeah, when it's lead to lap though,
sometimes it's just lead to lap.

the tiraq dot com studios up next here though, just
all kind of waiting around. We're all just kind of
waiting around for somebody to make the call, to make

(18:35):
the decision. But it's not the somebody you think it is.
We'll discuss next year on FSR.

Speaker 7 (18:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here coming
up about twenty minutes from now here from the ti
raq dot Com studios. Somebody had a little bit of
an accident, A well known celebrity, a little bit of
an accident, and we will break down and discuss why

(19:16):
that was. That'll be yours here again twenty minutes from
now here on FSR. We're all just kind of waiting around,
just kind of waiting around on what the hell is
going to happen with Lebar's guy, Aaron Rodgers, and whether
or not whether or not Aaron Rodgers is going to
make a decision at any point soon.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Apparently the latest is he's just kind.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Of front door, front door to Vikings facility, like I'm
not leaving, Like he's waiting around, not leaving. I'm not
leaving till you get me what I want. I'm not leaving.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, that's the that's the reporting that he's waiting around
for Minnesota to make a decision and they're trying to
decide whether or not they want Rogers to be a
part of it everything, and then.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Come on, guys, I'm not leaving.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I mean, it's going a little bit longer than I
think I think people were expecting. But here we are,
and so now we we just kind of sit and wait,
And so does Russell Wilson, and so to the Steelers,
and so to the Giants, and so does everybody else
that's kind of waiting around for Rogers, who's now waiting
around for the Vikings.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
So I thought I'd talked to one team where I
thought they they thought he'd make a decision by yesterday.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
So it didn't happen.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Maybe it happens this week, But usually they try to
find like a soft spot in this schedule. Like the
conspiracy theory side of me always makes me wonder, with
you know, Saint Patrick's Day and then March Madness coming up?

Speaker 5 (20:49):
Is he waiting more to find like a soft spot
with the NFL?

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Is like, okay, now a rod, let's go ahead and
make that decision so we can dominate the news lines again.
I know that sounds dumb to a lot of people,
and it sounds nice, but it feels like in the
past that's how things have kind of operated.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
So I don't think it's gonna draw out as long,
for example.

Speaker 6 (21:07):
As Brett Favre did Lee's Guy, especially when he was
a Minnesota Viking, when Lee became a Viking fan. But
I think they'll wisconstantly. I do think he'll make a
decision somewhere soon, but it feels like they're gonna wait
for a dead spot where it could be all about
Aaron Rodgers, all about the NFL during that time of
the year, because I kind of get a sense that,

(21:29):
like the NBA's kind of struck back, and some other
sports have kind of found their way of stealing some
time and some headlines from the NFL, like super Bowl
Week when all this stuff sort of going down, which
if I'm not mistaking, that's when Luca got traded, right.
Uh yeah, Like that kind of dominated at least for
that period of time. It hasn't really been that way

(21:50):
in recent years, So I don't know. Maybe that has
something to do with it. Maybe it has nothing to
do with it. It's just how the timing of it's
all worked out.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Maybe it has something to do with how much he
wants from them, because I feel like he's made his decision.
It sounds as though he wants to go to Minnesota
and that's where he wants to be, and if that's
If that's the case, then I mean it probably shouldn't
have dragged drug out this far this long. So to me,

(22:19):
I feel like it's a matter of does this work, Like, Okay,
this is his first decision, this is the choice that
he's making. But does this work? You know, if you're
asking if the reports are accurate, you're asking Sam Darnold numbers.
Is Minnesota in a position or do they even want

(22:39):
to take that type of financial investment into Aaron Rodgers
for this team. I think there's a lot connected to that.
And if Aaron Rodgers isn't willing to maybe say I'll
take less, you know, I don't know, but I'm just
assuming to me that would be the reason why I
would think that it's taking this long. If if they

(23:02):
if he wants to go to Minnesota and Minnesota wants
him to come to Minnesota. If you have those two
factors playing in your in your favor, then it has
to be the financials that aren't making sense. Or they're
just working through the financials to try to figure out
what's the best way to structure the contract where maybe
it sounds like he's getting with Sam Donald's getting, but

(23:24):
maybe it's not locked up into guarantees or anything like that.
I'm not sure, but it just seems as though if
he's asking for Sam donald money, that could be the
hold up here.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I just yeah, because I can't Minnesota would know at
this point whether or not they want him right, Like,
it seems like you would know like either it's gonna
be him or you're just gonna roll with JJ McCarthy
and find out what you got there.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
So I just don't know if Sam darnal money is
that significant, you know, Yeah, I don't think that's what's
to turn them.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
You can probably make that work.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
My my contingency yesterday was, if you're going to pay
Aaron Rodgers what Sam Donald is getting paid, why would
you let Sam Donald go and not pay Sam Donald
the money that Sam Donald went and got somewhere else.
If you're in need of a quarterback, if you're going
to pay Aaron Rodgers that if I think that is

(24:22):
the case, you know, if that's the case, that's that's
pretty shallow of the Minnesota Vikings. I think that's pretty
shadow to. It's not only shallow, but it's very risky.
I think it's very risky because you had a good season.
I mean, you could blame something. I mean, okay, so
a little bit.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
They've seen him and they've watched him practice and play
now for a year. Yeah, and talking about the Vikings
and Sam Darnald and if they're willing to move on
and sign someone else for the same amount thirty three
point five million average annual value.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Maybe that's what Donald got.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
If that's the case, wouldn't you say then that, like Quasia,
do Flamensa and Koc have a pretty good sentence for
what Sam Donald was and wasn't. And then also, would
that be like a warning sign to Seahawks fans if
the team that just had him is willing to sit
there and say, yeah, we're willing to bring in Aaron Rodgers,

(25:18):
who you know is obviously towards the end of his career,
but we'd feel better about that than what we had
in Donald.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
I think that could be. Again, I think that could
be the thought process of it, but I think it's
a super risky proposition. And again, if you're bringing Aaron
Rodgers in to bring the start, be the starter, I
think that's a risky proposition. For one, because you did
have a good year with Sam Donald, and okay, it

(25:45):
tailed off at the end, But again, it's an ultimate
team sport, so I'm not going to put all of
the blame on Sam Donald for the team going you know,
the direction that it went in and their tail off.
I just think that Sam Donald cooled off a little bit,
but I think the team cooled off a little bit.
If we're saying that Sam Darnold, we got one year

(26:05):
out of him, and we got the best season that
we've had in quite some time, and we're in it,
you know, all the way, like first place for the
most of the season, and that wasn't good enough, and
we're going to go in a different direction, and we're
going to pay him what he got going to the
next team, not what he got from from Minnesota, but
what he's getting from the team that took him. It

(26:26):
could be a cautionary tale for Seattle, but I think
it's also a very risky proposition for Minnesota because I mean,
it's not like Aaron Rodgers at this point. To me,
is that much of an upgrade where you would take
the risk of if he's still good enough to be
Aaron Rodgers esque and what he does or not. I

(26:48):
just think it's a risky, risky proposition when you already
had somebody that at least he can win for you.
If JJ McCarthy doesn't prove out.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
If they really wanted Sam Donald, they would have tagged him,
they would have given him the franchise tag If he
would have played better the final two games of the season,
maybe the price would have gone up and they would
have just tagged him.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
They really wanted him that bad.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Like I think ultimately this turns into we're just gonna
roll with JJ McCarthy. I hope Rogers goes. I think
it's a better story. I think it'd be fun to watch.
But I just it doesn't make sense to me why
they wouldn't at this point know who they want their
starter to be moving forward.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Would you guys, would you guys both agree, Would you
guys both agree or would you not agree? What what
is your thought process on you're letting Sam Darnold go?
Would you agree that it was because you're planning on
going with JJ McCarthy or were they planning on bringing
in a free agent to start? I mean, I think

(27:50):
we got got ques.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
The entirety of it is if we feel like JJ's
not ready, which you know, again, he's basically a rookie.
Basically a rookie outside of being around the team and
being you know, kind of if you want to take
a say, takeing a medical red shirt, It's basically what
it was last year for him. His rookie season. So
outside of that, he's a rookie and this is a

(28:13):
team that is you talked about. They've won a lot
of games, they feel like they're in a good spot.
They probably want a veteran guy to come in. They
don't want there to be any drop off. And it
doesn't mean that they don't believe in JJ McCarthy, but
they also want to be able to have a veteran
come in play win football games and also teach him

(28:33):
the right way of doing things.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
You know, if you recall at the end of the season.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
I'm not saying that JJ McCarthy and Sam Donald didn't
get along.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
There's a couple of cryptic tweets.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
That were sent out out there, and I'm not sure
how that worked out, but I do think that the
Vikings are looking at having a veteran like Rogers come in,
teach JJ McCarthy how to do it, and then eventually
move on to McCarthy.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
The It's been a good.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Way of preparing these young quarterbacks who you know, need
help transition in the NFL. It's been a good It's
worked out. Jordan Love looks great. You know, Rogers, you know,
got that sort of treatment from Brett Favre. We know that,
so that could be what the thought process is. We
got a year with Rogers, we give them an opportunity
to see how it goes, and then we got Jaj

(29:24):
McCarthy's learning from one of the best to do it.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
And that's that's kind of the plan right now.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
And I think when you've got a first ballot Hall
of Famer that's kind of contemplated the sort of things
it's it probably makes a lot of sense in the world.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
But I always go back to this, if you bring.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
In Aaron Rodgers, to me, this isn't like taking time
because they're trying to figure out the money or they're
trying to figure out, you know, how it's going to
impact JJ and.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
That like that.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
I think they know all that and they can figure
that stuff out. This is more about the head coach
and the quarterback. This is more about the play caller
and the quarterback who happens to be the head coach.
There is going to be the potential for there to be,
you know, headbutting because the things that koc likes to
do again stemming from more of that that Shanahan type tree.

(30:13):
It's very different than what Aaron Rodgers likes. He likes
the static at line of scrimmage. Let me control, let
me get us in the play, let me use my cadence,
let me use all those things. You know, when he
was with the Laflora, that was one of the differences,
and you'd see the pre snap shifts, motions, all those
things that lafour came from the Shanahan tree. So that,

(30:36):
to me is a bigger hurdle for this thing to
be copasetic and all work out than anything else. I
think that's maybe one of the reasons too. It's not
just Rogers. Maybe the Vikings are like, all right, like,
how are we going to do this? Because I don't
want to give up control of what our offense has
been it's worked out really well, and just say, all right,
here you go, Aaron, you do what you do. Like

(30:58):
it's easier to make one guy adapt to what our
offense is, what our system is, to make all ten
other guys on offense, the head coach of staff and
everyone else to adapt to what Rodgers wants to do.
So that might be a little bigger deal than sometimes
people lead on to believe.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
But I think we all agree that they're playing, they're
trying to figure it out game because it doesn't seem
as though there's any emotion, Like we're not hearing anything
heating up in Pittsburgh, I mean, or Tennessee. We're not
hearing of there being any other conversations really taking place

(31:35):
other than I guess maybe when Russell Wilson left New York.
So I think it's pretty interesting because the point I
made is, if that's the case, and this is what's
taking place, if Aaron Rodgers isn't which I don't know
this for certain, you guys might be able to debunk it.
But if Aaron Rodgers isn't talking to other teams, this
is really trying to get things done with Minnesota. Why

(31:58):
is there a holding pattern on everything that's taking place.
I know it's like, all right, let's wait and see,
let's wait and see. But if you're a team again,
I made this point yesterday, if you met with Russell Wilson,
is it that much of an indictment on Russell Wilson
as a player of you bringing that player in that
you would actually bring him in for an interview and

(32:18):
be like, what the conclusion is? What we're going to
wait to see what Aaron Rodgers does. But we brought
him in. Like to me, if you brought a guy
in and you like that guy and you feel like
this guy is our guy. If Aaron rod if we
don't get Aaron Rodgers, then why would you not sign
Aaron Rodgers? Because the clock is ticking anyway? I mean,

(32:38):
excuse me, why wouldn't you not just sign Russell Wilson
to the situation? If if the clock is ticking like
it is right now, just sign Russell Wilson. Seems like
something might be more wrong with the Russell Wilson situation
then maybe maybe maybe initially thought because Aaron Rodgers is

(32:59):
holding up, it's taking time, why wouldn't you just if
you're Pittsburgh, if you're if you're New York, why do
you not just sign a quarterback and move on from that?
Maybe you try to get Kirk Cousins, whatever it may be.
But I just don't understand why the why the waiting
process if it's if it's dragging out this long for

(33:21):
Aaron Rodgers to make his decision, unless they felt like
they were still in the running to get them. But
I don't feel like that's the point that's the case here.
It just seems like he wants Minnesota. Then he say
he might retire if he doesn't get Minnesota, Like I
mean to me, that's I don't know, man, why are
these other teams waiting around? Like it's like she don't

(33:41):
want you? You know, if she don't want you, what
are you still writing her notes and passing them and
betaking classes for? I know, I know, how does that feel?

Speaker 1 (33:49):
It's all about Oh geez, what it's all about?

Speaker 5 (33:52):
Fit?

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Man? You know, it's all about whoa.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
I'm just I'm just trying to get a sense for
all this, you know, tang Lee right?

Speaker 3 (34:02):
I mean, I got rejected line times.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
Look, Lee's not listening. But here's what I want you
guys to do. I want you to listen.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
Okay. Because there's no one size fits all mattress.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Everyone knows that, and a mattress firm, their sleepe experts
will match you with the right one. My guy did
it got the bed sleeping great, sleeping like a baby,
better than my baby. So upgrade to a premium mattress
during the upgrade your sleep sale two day so you
can sleep at night. Right now, Match firms has you.

The guys are here to bring you in case you missed.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
It, and for that we turn it over to our

Speaker 8 (36:10):
Good more than everybody. Good morning Jonas, Good morning Bradyan,
Good morning Lemar.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
There is function, guys, is functions.

Speaker 8 (36:19):
Yeah, that's right, guys. In case you missed this.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
I started off by asking, in case, where's JP Moros?

Speaker 9 (36:29):
Jp Morossi is covering the the Dodgers Cubs game from
here in the United States.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yeah all right, so but not making an appearance on
this show.

Speaker 8 (36:40):
He's not. He's not there.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
He is, He's just not he was.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Why misrepresented John Paul Morosi's location earlier in the show?

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Okay, well, who told you that.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
There was? There was an assumption that he would be there.

Speaker 6 (36:59):
You okay, So that's not Lee's fault. That's actually your fault.
Then are you falling on the sword from.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
No, that's me.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I'll take it, okay, god mine right here, I'm gonna
put my I'm gonna put my hand up and accept
responsibility for that one.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Interesting, all right though, John Paul's great.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
I mean, it was Saint Patty's Day yesterday, so I
don't judge either one of you, whoever it was. I'm
ate halushki yesterday. I know it's Polish, but it felt
that it was right because it had some cabbage in it.
You know. The cabbage was discussed on the show. For
Saint Patty's Day, I went in a different direction. I

(37:40):
went with pasta noodles and polish sausage and some cabbage onions.
It was really good. Damn yeah, it was really good.
I don't know why that mattered, but it was good.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Yeah. Okay, go ahead, Lee.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
On board mission you went. You went polish. I went
Polish on St. Patty's Day, you know. Yeah. But it
was the cabbage though. It was it was the cabbage
that inspired me to do it. So I didn't go,
you know, Saint Patty's Day, Like I said, I didn't
go cabbage and corn beef. I went cabbage and Polish sausage.

(38:23):
You know, that is what it is. I'm from Pittsburgh, man,
so it inspired me when you said it. It inspired
me to go back to my roots of Pittsburgh and
I made haluski.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah there it is there you go?

Speaker 3 (38:37):
All right, all right, there we go. Le.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
What did Tracy Morgan have to eat?

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (38:43):
He had a lot to eat, seemingly because about ten
minute delay in Madison Square Garden between the Knicks and
the heat last night. Because of Tracy Morgan court side vomited.
Everyone's a little concerned about him. It included a nose
bleed and he needed to be wheeled off in a wheelchair.
We're all kind of concerned about mister Tracy Morgan. I
have a Knicks fan because he's had a history of

(39:03):
health issues. But yeah, took everyone a second to realize
who it was vomiting on the court at Madison Square
Garden last night.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
So is this just due to St. Patrick's day? Like
he had a little too much? Is that what you're thinking?

Speaker 8 (39:15):
That was the initial thought.

Speaker 9 (39:16):
Of course, everyone is concerned because he's had got a
history of injuries. He's gotten brain injuries before that's kept
him out of limelight all that stuff like like that.
But yeah, it was seeing Patty's day, So who knows.

Speaker 6 (39:27):
I do love when Lee like tries to, you know,
play like the nice guy card. I've seen him perform
one one time through sickness. It was not a good
stand up performance, but he did show up. He had
a towel over his head. You could tell he was
not feeling well.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
But I was appreciative that he at least showed up
and tried to do it.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
So, I mean, he threw up a lot on the court.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
It's not.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
I thought I wouldn't sent that to you guys.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
I thought LeVar was gonna gonna instantly get sick, because
I know I did about that.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
I did. I'll start ill and ill? Did I comment
on it? I probably got out of here too much. Vomit,
too much, vomit, that's no good man. What was it like?
