Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady, Quinn, Jonas Knox with
you here. Coming up on this Thursday edition, We're gonna
catch up with our guy Albert Breer to find out
the very latest from around the NFL. Speaking of the NFL, so,
why didn't Tom Brady have any involvement in the drafting
of Shador Sanders or not drafting Shador Sanders?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We will discuss.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
We're also going to find out the very latest is
to the reason why George Pickens is now a Dallas Cowboy.
The Boston Celtics have done it again. Gag job Part
two from Boston, but for some reason, still optimism there
that the Seas are going to win that series. The
Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder were a complete waste
(00:40):
of time. Plus, we've got another edition of In case
you missed it, and we've got some Lee's leftovers. It's

o'clock Pacific, and we have got lots to get to
(01:27):
in the world of sports and beyond here on this
Thursday morning.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
How you guys feeling here on this fine day.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
I'm going dude, my own spikes.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
So it was quite the night in the National Basketball
Association last night in the playoffs. We could spend some
time discussing the annihilation of the Denver Nuggets by Oklahoma City,
but doesn't really feel like there's a whole lot to
discuss there other than a historic first half from a
scoring standpoint and Denver just getting wiped out that game
(02:12):
being over. Or we could talk about part due of
the Boston gag job that took place last night. What
an embarrassment, an absolute embarrassment.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
The Boston which was a more demoralizing, you know, a
more Denver moralizing, you think, so, I feel like.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
That game for Denver made it feel like they have
no shot.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
They beat like that that was the type of curse.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
That was the type of ass whooping that makes you
feel like, I don't know, I don't know, man, if
we're going to be able to do anything here.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I thought Boston's was worse, at least Denver.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I thought I thought Boston's was worse. But for what
is worth, I'm with Q that that that you're you're
not supposed to get taken behind the woodshed like that,
like they ain't leave nothing left nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I mean if some if you do get taken behind
the woodshed, does anything good ever happen?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
No, not for a person that gets taken behind.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
What do you mean by that? Can you imagine the
facial expressions that would like did they peek around the
corner of the woodshed before they came out? Like hope,
no one's there.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I just man, like I was actually watching and congratulations,
the Knicks deserve to win that game. The Celtics have
no business with their style of play and what they've
done the past couple of games. But I was watching
that last night going maybe this will be what wakes
teams up, because we've seen Minnesota go cold from three
(03:58):
and just not have any any other answers. I think
it was Houston was the last time we talked about it.
Boston's now done it two games in a row.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
That's all they do, that's all anybody does.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I wonder if this is gonna be the correction to
the marketplace, so to speak of Hey, believe it or not,
you're gonna have to do something other than just stand back,
chuck and duck and then hope the ball goes in
and if it doesn't, well whatever, we'll get him next time.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I mean, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Everybody though, Like you got Chet home Grin, you got
guys like Towns, you got you got seven footers that
refuse to go into the paint. I don't even know
if they know how to go into paint. It's I
don't know, man, It's it's a tad bit disturbing might
(04:46):
be too strong of a word. It really might be.
But it's just crazy to think that literally, and listen,
I've never thought football would become a past first league.
Never thought it would happen. If you would have asked
me twenty years thirty years ago, if you would have
(05:06):
said to me, running back would not be one of
the more popular positions to play and it would be
a past first league, I would have I would have
told you you're crazy, Like, no way, it's always football
is meant to be running first. I would have argued
(05:28):
you down. And that's kind of like looking at where
the NBA is right now, and as you know it
stated so often, the whole Steph Curry effect and the
idea of just the mathematics of it, like oh, you
could get down shooting those threes and all it takes
is for you to warm up and then you can
(05:50):
chew into a league elite so much easier by getting
three pointers versus you know, going the tradition. No way.
I mean, I don't know, man, It's it's weird because
you don't see people dunk very often anymore. I think
that's why people get so excited about Anthony Anthony Edwards.
(06:11):
It's like, you don't even really see people try to
take it to your face in basketball right now. It's
just not even really a part of the game right now.
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I think stan Van Gundy made the point. It was
late in the Minnesota game the other night, and he said,
Anthony Edwards has got nineteen points. None of them are
on jump shots, Like he's just going to the basket.
And it feels like Jason Tatum can get to the
basket when he wants, Jalen Brown can get to the
basket when they want. They can, like there's there's a
(06:43):
reason why those guys are making seven hundred million dollars
because they were all NBA players, and you have to
have the ability to do more than just stand back
and shoot threes, and they just don't. And it comes,
by the way, it comes off as lazy, like it
feels like a lazy throw it up and wow if
it doesn't go in whatever, and it's just not entertaining.
(07:03):
And so it's actually kind of nice to see the
Knicks win games and close them out on defense. By
the way, the Knicks weren't even good last night. It's
not like they were scoring at at a high clip.
Brunson didn't have that great of a game, but still.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
Like this is what basketball used to be though, Yeah,
Like that's the problem is we got so accustomed to
teams scoring in the one hundreds of the one twenties
that we see again, that's below one hundred ago. Oh,
they just had a bad shooting night. This is like,
actually good defense. I know again guys, it's the NBA playoffs.
We don't see that in the NBA regular season. This
is what good defense looks like. I think that has
(07:40):
played a role a little bit too in some of
the poor shooting performances.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I just they absolutely deserve to win. They deserve to
clip Michel Bridges winning. And by the way, that talking
about throwback NBA player, He's never missed a game in
his career.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
He's played.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Uh. Now, there was some fugazy activity the well last
game of the season, he played six seconds just to
keep his consecutive game streak going.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
But yeah, listens, are I think he's played it's five
hundred and fifty six straight games. He's never missed a game.
He's out there closing out games on defense. He was
the one scoring early on in that quarter. But Jalen Brown, uh,
the Celtic's other star who's really struggled himself the first
couple of games. He spoke following the game.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
I hate to say, but like this is you guys
are supposed to find ways to score. These are the
moments that they're the ones that look like they're playing
with the poison. You guys aren't. Can you explain why
that's happened?
Speaker 7 (08:39):
Now?
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Two games in a row at.
Speaker 9 (08:40):
Home, I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
We've done.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
We've gotten to great starts. We guarded, we played physical
energy today to start the fourth quarter. I thought we
got like four or five great looks in a row
and that didn't go in, and maybe that affected us,
but uh know, what's done is done. Now we got
an opportunity to see what we made of and uh,
(09:06):
you know, come out and try to make something happen.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Game three.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
So there's a very energetic Jalen Brown.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I mean they control the entire game except the last part,
like except the fourth quarter. They control the game is
as sloppy as the play looked. As many shots that
were being missed. Jalen went to the rack. Guys were
getting getting to the hole. They were playing some some
(09:35):
really good basketball. I mean, they they had a good
first half, a strong first half. It's just it's a
mine blower. It's a head scratcher to even think that
the New York Knicks were able to claw back into
the game in the fashion that they did, let alone
(09:57):
actually think that there was a real chance ants that
they could win the game. Like it was like when
they took the lead at the point that they did
and the game was like, you know, the clock was
basically at the end. It just it just gave you
this weird feeling and you could see it, like watching
it on the television, you could see it in the
(10:18):
body language of the Celtics. You could see it and
you could feel it that it was like like like
it's just an utter disbelief that this would happen. And
I don't know how demoralizing that victory, you know how
how much it was. I know I said that the
(10:39):
Indiana game, and then that makes me wonder which one
of those is more demoralizing, because Q thinks that Cleveland's
gonna come back and win this series. They're not.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
That's why baby Calves, Baby Calves coming back now.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Classic classic Ohio fan, Let's go back to Ohio regardless,
never a bad time, you have a great But I
don't know, I don't know that that wasn't a more
demoralized if I'm comparing those two. I don't know if
that isn't a more demoralizing loss for the for the
Celtics then that. Even that Calves game was, to be honest,
(11:16):
by the way, you know, that could have signified the
end of the series for that that series.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The Celtics are still favored to win the series Undraftkings.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
I could see why. I could see. I mean, Cleveland
has starters out right, like.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
They're for all you nick blowhards out there getting setting
up the parade just so you know. The betting market
says Boston's gonna win that series, even though you're going
back home up to oh.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
It's more likely that Boston can can climb out of
a two to oh two oh deficit. I see that,
But I still think that the way they lost, that's
just a very very demoralizing situation. Then they go on
the road, you got to win. You got to try
(12:04):
to do the same exact thing to them that they've
done to you on your own home court and try
to even up the series if they get one. If
they get one dub at home against the Celtics, I
think it's a rap. That's I think that's going to
be too tough to come back from three to one
down to to be able to win a series. I
(12:25):
just don't I don't see how that would, you know,
I don't see how that would happen. So they got
I mean, they're in must win situation. They're in must
win mode right now today, so and so is the
Cleveland Cavaliers. They're in must win mode today. Those two teams,
they are in some serious danger right now.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
So, I mean, listen, I know via this is.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You know, we're going down the road of well, you know,
it's it's, you know, a private matter and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
But somebody's got to explain to me what the hell's
going on with christophs porzingis.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
At some point during the course of the season. Late
in the year, he missed eight games because of an illness.
Now he's dealing with some other sort of an illness.
Maybe it's tied to the same thing he had. They
want to make sure everybody, let it be known non COVID.
All right, So it's an illness, but we want you
to know it's non COVID. Okay, good glad, we're clear
(13:19):
on that.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Oh, g glad we got that down.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And so instead, because you can't depend on him, because
he's got this illness that nobody can seem to explain.
He can't even explain it. He talked about it after
the game and was just like, yeah, it's not an injury.
I'm just dealing with something. I'm not feeling my best.
And Al Horford is out there trying to fill in
the minutes and he's just not the same player he was.
(13:42):
He doesn't finish at the rim the way he used to,
he can't shoot the three like he used to. He's
trying his best, but he's been in the league since
like nineteen twenty eight, and so you're watching the team going, well,
this isn't exactly who they expected they were going to
have at that spot, because when Porzingis is in there,
there's a big difference. It's like he's a huge difference maker.
And yet we can't like there's no explanation for what
(14:04):
the hell's going on. Just whatever, he's got an illness. Okay,
all we know is that it's non COVID.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Charles Barkley was at like, how I talk about Jimmy Butler.
That's how Charles Barkley was on Porzingis, Like, oh, no, Porzingis,
They're not gonna win. Nope, nope, gotta have persingis perzingus.
Prizingis persingis and I guess it turned out to be correct.
I don't know, is he the difference?
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Have you not tried the porzingis? That's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I heard Britzenzeno, ben Zeno. I heard that's pretty good too.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
You know it's so when do we have it? It's good?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh you got that's that's interesting. That's a good, good
game show.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
We could do on the show Latvia an NBA player
or appetizer.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Let's see if we can put that together. And uh,
I'm gonna make some radio goal.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
I had a player one time who was out for
a period of time and uh, it was undisclosed for
a while.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
They eventually, they eventually.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Uh kind of came out with what the injury was.
But you never know, you never know about those centuries,
so any it was not football related.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Though, should we recklessly speculate as to what the I.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Don't know about this one. I actually don't even know
if we can say this over the air.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
So I mean, well, can we go in like you're
not suing me? Can we get like in the vicinity vaginis?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
It wasn't that No, it wasn't that. It was not
that in.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
The vicinity of that was a sticks pick in that region.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Sticks picks.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Yeah, that one wouldn't have been right, but it was
in that region.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
So okay.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, what a way to go out though, beat chicken hand,
beats opening a door or that somebody just tried to
open that head of cold. You know these there's there's
certain ways you can get sick and other ways you can't.
So not bad, all right. So h so there it
is that your look back on a wild Wednesday night
(16:14):
in the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I mean it's entertaining. I mean that that that that
Denver game was not entertaining. I'm sorry, you.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Know what that was.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Ernie Johnson after the game was like, is there anything
else to say about this game?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Like, mister the professional? Yeah, what's the point.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I was watching? But I really wasn't. It was that
was the massacre, you know, the next game that was
These games up until the Nuggets Thunder game were really
really fun games to watch in this next round and
that Thunder that Thunder Nuggets game was not. That was
not fun to watch. But if you're if you're okc faan,
(16:54):
that is the team that people have been looking for.
I will say that that is the dominant, the dominance
that I think a lot of Yeah, yeah, and I
think they exert asserted theirself and and and came into
the game that way because it was not it was
(17:16):
what check your text.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh gosh, there's no way that's real. They're afraidy. There's
no way that really happened, No possible way.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
That is.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
That what you heard? Is that what you heard that?
That can't be true.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
It's not it's one hundred percent true.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh my god, it's not.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
It's not heard like I know for a fact at
all worked he bruh.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
If that's true, that's a very very very bad look. Yeah,
that's a bad especially that last message you sent.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
I know, trust me, all wild stuff happened during the
course of my career.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I just saw part two.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
That's a bad look.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I got questions, Yeah, put in the chat.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
I'll answer the best I can.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I was about to change I was go to say
change your loofah, but that's not doesn't appear to be
the problem, all right.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I can't give too many details.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah no, no, no, no, let's let's let's get out
of here. Yeah. Yeah, let's get out of here.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
There's Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you.
So we are going to have the usuals coming up.
Later on, we do have another edition of in case
you missed it. We also got Alpert Brear stopping by,
and we've got Lee's leftovers.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
All of it is yours ear as we.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Take you all the way up until nine am Eastern times,
six o'clock Pacific, but we will find out exactly what
one move in the NFL really means long term.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That's yours next year on FSR.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
off twenty minutes from now, we are going to have
a celebration of sorts to somebody who did it yet again.
This is two times in a couple of days that
they've done this. We'll get into that for you here
on FSR. So we were on the air yesterday when
(19:36):
the news broke that the Dallas Cowboys were acquiring George
Pickens for a couple of draft picks. So he leaves
the Pittsburgh Steelers and heads to the Dallas Cowboys. And
I don't know if you guys have had more time
to think back on exactly how this is going to land,
but I'm starting to wonder if maybe this whole thing
(19:56):
is going to be a full blown five along disaster
for the Dallas Cowboys. Just from the standpoint of other
than Plexico Burris. I don't recall the last time the
Steelers have said bye bye to a wide receiver and
it work out in their favor, whether it was Mike Wallace,
(20:20):
Antonio Brown, Chase Claypool, Deontay Johnson. It just feels like
there's a trend there that maybe isn't the greatest for
the Cowboys, and it'll be fun to watch. I just
I don't know what they're going to get out of
George Pickens' this upcoming year. That's a great point.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
I mean, you could actually go through the list of
guys Wallace, Juju Smith Schuster. Antonio Brown obviously is probably
the most famous, but there's been a number of wide
restores that that's been the case. Yeah, Martevis Bryant, there's
I mean, literally you can go down the list. This
is really a one year rental for the Dallas Cowboys.
They don't have to make a decision on paying him
(21:02):
or anything right now. They get to have him for
a year, and that's honestly, it's a legitimate excuse. You know,
usually when there's a player who's looking at trying to
be paid maybe before a little bit before they're supposed to,
especially with the team that drafted him, you can always say, well, loo,
if we just traded for him, obviously we like the player,
but we don't want to agree to anything long term
until we see what he's like for a year. And
(21:23):
it's a reasonable response. So the player has to go in.
He's incentivized to go show out and play to the
best of his ability, and the Dallas Cowboys have control
to do so and not necessarily have to pay him
at ten this season, but after the season, that's what
they're gonna have to make a decision. They're going to
have to find out whether or not they want to
commit to him, or because he's been the league now
(21:44):
with three years, yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Said there, or four he's gone into his fourth year.
Yeah right, so as he came out twenty two.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
But they could tag him or they could cut bait.
And the reality is if they want to cut bait,
they can simply just go get a competitory pick an.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Exchange for him. And what would that compensatory pick be.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
I would assume George Pickens, if he won on the
frige of market, would be one of the higher paid
wide receivers. If that's the case, they end up getting
a third round compensatory pick. Would they give up ultimately
to get George Pickens third round pick? So it's really
not that big of a risk for the Dallas Cowboys
to take him on for a one year rental on
his rookie deal and have control over whether or not
(22:25):
they feel like he can be a guy that they
end up paying for the future, and if not, again
they kind of get back the conversation pretty much that
they lost in the first place.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
So you don't think that his representation will make it
a point to force Dallas's hand to redo his contract.
I would not be surprised if they announced his contract
was redone before the season even gets going, I wouldn't be.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
There's two ways of looking at it.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
They could do that, and that way I would assume
they'd get more of an economical value for him, and
we'll see if Dallas wants to do that, or they
could hang on to him. I mean, if I'm not mistaken,
you know, he wasn't drafting the first round, so they
doesn't have a fifth year option, so the other you know,
the only other options that a franchise tag. Otherwise he
goes a free agency so it's not that Again, it's
(23:16):
not that.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Big of a deal either way.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
But so here here's the problem if he does decide
to sit out the season, Like like, here's the options
you have. If he decides to sit out the season
and holds out because he is under contract, the contract
tolls the next year, so he doesn't get anywhere closer
to free agency. He would still be under contract for
that last year because it's not an a credited season.
(23:42):
So because of that, he'd be in the this same
exact spot he was this past year, still in the
last year of his rookie deal, still not having an
opportunity to be able to cash in. So he's kind
of got to play good because of ultimately, I would
say where he was drafted.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And got to be behavior well, I.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Uh, George Pickens is he's he's he's one of those
those players where looking at his his level of talent
and what he can bring to the table too to
really create a very very dynamic duo of a receiving
(24:34):
corps for for Dallas. It's very intriguing to me because
of what you guys brought up right, the history of
receivers leaving and they weren't all problem people, mind you,
by the way, Like it wasn't as though all these
guys left under the same circumstances. Some of the guys
(24:56):
were really, you know, really good guys, pretty good guys
in terms of being people, and some of them weren't.
And you gotta believe that George Pickens is totally aware
of the cloud, that the storm cloud that's over his head,
that that the league has said about him. And now
(25:18):
you get a team that's willing to take a risk
on you, but in that same vein you have a
team that seemingly gave up on you. And I just wonder,
you know, as as competitors, there's things like when we're
challenged in ways that can be the catalyst of change.
(25:40):
And I just wonder, you know, this is this a
scenario where he feels like he gets a reprieve, a
new start, because there were a lot of fans in
Pittsburgh Steelers fans were really you know, down on him,
you know that not even heard at one point, you know,
mel was on Ben Roethlisberger's show and kind of directly
(26:04):
called pickings out, you know, and I just wonder, does
he see does he realize the opportunity he has here.
You're going into an amazing market. It's one of the
most popular teams franchises in all of sports. I mean,
(26:25):
if you really ball out and if you do things
the right way, you know, this could really be an
amazing opportunity for him to not only rebuild maybe a
damaged image, but it also could serve as a catalyst
for him to really position himself to get a very
(26:45):
very If he doesn't do an early deal or extension,
it really puts them in position talent wise to be
able to go to the table and really ask for
a really nice, a really nice check I just wonder
if he understands how big this opportunity is for him.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Mark Caboli, who covers the Steelers, was on local radio
in Pittsburgh yesterday and he said that it was Mike
Tomlin who was pushing for the deal, that Mike tom
was ready to move on from George Pickens, which probably
means that he was probably more of a more of
a problem behind the scenes than maybe we know. Which,
by the way, if you go back, same thing with
(27:23):
Antonio Brown, the same thing, nobody really knew how bad
it was until he was gone, and it's like, wait,
so he showed up in a mink coat and just
left the game. He threw a ball at Ben Roethlisberger
in practice, and then all these stories started to come out.
I just and now he's going to be in Dallas,
where if you think the Steelers get covered, way do
(27:44):
you see what it's like in Dallas. And that's going
to be a storyline all throughout the season. And it's
gonna take one game for him to not get a
ball or for them to go to Ceedee Lamb or
somebody else more than him, and.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Can he handle it? You know? It's it's like when
the judge was tapping the wall with Roger Rabbit, like
there's just certain things that you just can't It kind
of takes away your control, you know. And I just
wonder can he handle when that because he will not
be the main featured guy in Dallas. Now, he can
(28:22):
establish himself as the Alvin Harper of this receiving corps,
but he will never be Michael Irvin in this receiving corps.
And he was the Michael Irvin in Pittsburgh. And I
just wonder maybe it'd be better and maybe this will
be a better situation for him not to be the
(28:44):
focal point of the offense. It could work in his
advantage because where there is less of a profile or
less of a responsibility of being that main person, there's
less expectation as well. I mean, for what it's worth.
Of course they will be high, but not as high
(29:04):
as it will be for a CD Lamb. But we
also know that Cede Lamb did fight through that shoulder
injury last year. There were times where you needed to
have another guy be able to step up and step
in and be more for the team, so it wouldn't
be so much on Cede Lamb. So there's always that
(29:25):
as well, like opportunity could present itself where Pickens has
to be the main target for Dak Prescott or whoever
is the quarterback because he's been known to go out
too well.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
And just being in Brian Scheinheimer's offense, that is a
system too where there's going to be a highlighted guy,
but it's more scheme specific. It's more of what the
defense does, how you're trying to attack it. There's plays,
for sure that are set up for who that number
one receiver is, but the way they move Ceede Lamb
around that, to me is what's going to cause him
to be the number one receiver. You know, I think
(29:59):
George Pickens has all the ability in the world. I mean,
he really does. It's just a matter of how fast
he can learn the offense. And on top of that,
you know, does he care. There's times last year where
it really felt like he just didn't care. I don't
know how else you look at it, but that's how
I would look at it, and it was frustrating because
(30:21):
you see the upside.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Then you see games where he's that pathetic.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
I mean, he lacks any sort of reality that he's
in an NFL game and his teams relying on they
need him. I mean, that's the kind of effort he
gives at times. So hopefully for Dallas's sake, they can
get the most out of him, because if they can,
he can be a special player. But it's all to him,
and that's the truth of it. It's all up the
(30:47):
George Pickens and what he wants to be. And so
again I kind of go back to if you trade
for him, are you going to do a deal with
him right now? The history of the Dallas Cowboys has
always been a wait to wait and see. Most people
say they wait too long. Well, in this case, I
definitely think it would make most sense to wait and
(31:08):
see what he's able.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
To do this year.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It's gonna be fun, man, and then you got done.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
I think it would make sense for him to wait too.
On his side of it, to be honest, I mean,
you got to bet on yourself, but I think it
would actually be to his advantage to go play a
season with them as well. Before you go. As for money,
I mean the amount of money that he would ask
for now versus if he had a really really productive
(31:35):
year for the team. Who knows, you know, what that
looks like to the tune of what what statistically or
you know what he would bring to the table, But
you'd have to assume that he will be able to
command more dollars after having a productive season versus trying
to go get it right now.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, I do know this.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You can stream this show in all of our Fox

Speaker 1 (32:15):
All right, So somebody has done it again.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Off for the first segment in the World War it's
part uh you know what, part.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Oh, I'm not I'm not, by the way, I'm not
answering any more questions, all right.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
And I'm not that I'm not anymore. I'm not even
that that's what I'm saying. I'm still tripping off of it.
But this is somebody.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
My career where people are like what I was like well,
if you only knew the stuff that I knew what
was going.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
On, it really is just like if you like it's
that's the problem. Well, like, that's the problem with you.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Did almost say it an X show? Did you just
almost say it?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
No?
Speaker 10 (32:54):
No?
Speaker 4 (32:54):
No on air? No No, it kind of felt like that.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
It sounded like you were going to say that. No, yeah,
you should go with it. It sounds better.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It's the problem with not being a rat. If you
were a rat, you could do a tell all and
make us a ton of money.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
It was excuses. It didn't worry. It's just excuses. I'm like, no,
I get it.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Like the first thing I always tell people like why
don't things work Out'm like, didn't play well enough?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Now we are.
Speaker 7 (33:18):
There's some things that contribute to that, between injuries and
other stuff. Yeah, of course, but there's there's some other
things that it was like, this isn't an overall professional
environment right now, you know, just going what the hell
is going on here?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, there's another never mind, I just will leave that alone.
It is two pros and a cup of joe here
on Fox.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Clearly everybody doesn't take that advice.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh my god, all I know is this when you
guys are talking about you know, your lockers, your safe space,
like for certain people like they really made it man
that the parking lot.

Speaker 10 (35:19):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing, the guys are here to
bring you.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
In case you missed.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
It, and for that we turn it over to our
executive producer, Lea Lap.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
Good morning everybody, Good morning Jones, Good morning Brady, Good
morning LeVar.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Guys.
Speaker 11 (35:39):
In case you missed it, you might have missed that
social media video that went viral of a P and
C Park employee getting it into an altercation with a fan. Reportedly,
he was stepping in on behalf of a female employee
who had verbal confrontation with this fan, so he went fisticuffs.
Had a few punches fan decided to start spitting at him.
(35:59):
And again, if you saw the video, you saw that
he pulled off his belt, his belt out whipped him
in the face.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
Well, there's a little more to that.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Lee what probably made the employee mad so after he
jacked the dude in the face, which it did look
a little bit deserved. I don't know why that guy
was mouthing off, if he was defending the woman, whatever,
they just it just seemed like he deserved it. But
he was spitting blood. Yeah, that's why the employee had
like red stuff all of his shirt. It was from
the blood after he got punched in the face a
(36:26):
few times. Now, the only issue with this is you
have to buy this story from the employee that he
was defending someone else, because there's no doubt he threw
the first punch, So that's where he could be getting
some hot water here.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
But yeah, again, not saying it wasn't deserved.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
But that's why it was like forever a second, I
was like, did he like it ketchup thrown on him
or something, And then you're like, oh, no, he jacked
him up in the face.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
That's blood. Yeah, Well right now, job read the whole
story though, way.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Right now, well let me finish the story.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
PNC Park has now said that the employee's behavior was
entirely unacceptable and he was am meeting suspended sincidents. Is
still under further investigation.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Only suspended.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Yeah, that's just the first punch man.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Panc Park's a wild place.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
You got security guards thrown down, you got you know,
guys jumping into invisible swimming pools in the outfield.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Geez, he took his belt off, bro, I was through.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
He took That's the most demeaning thing you could do.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
I started spanking him by how many security guards across
the country are like, damn, why did I think of that?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Forget mace, how.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Does that come to mind? Like I'm going to I'm
going to take my belt off, which, by the way,
it looked like his pants could have took a trip
while he had the belt off. Oh yeah, so it's interesting.
He takes it off and now you're like, okay, are
his pants going to fall down? And he began to
(38:00):
spank this man that you look like, Ask what's more
demoralized between them games? If you add that one into
the equation, getting spanked with a belt grown ass Man
as a grown man might be the most demoralizing thing.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
That looked like Cam Hayward's Dockers.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
No, Marmo, how about a Pope update?
Speaker 11 (38:27):

Right after several votes the Yeti.
Speaker 11 (40:35):
I wanted YETI, but they took Yetti off the ballot
officially because of YETI coolers. They were scared that it
would be infringement, so they went with Mammoth.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
No mammoths, Mammoth singular.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
By the way, they were handing out some Travis Matthew
Yedis at the Super Bowl. We I had a graduate
