Speaker 2 (04:21):
I didn't get to do that.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
You did, But no, once I got into high school,
a lot of the girls wanted to talk to me,
and then the guys didn't like that.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
And you know, so then came the bullying.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
That's very interesting.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, dude, Jennifer Tilly.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, she's a poker player now she is.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
If she's listening right now, hit me up, let's play
some poker.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Dilly dilly, Okay, I see what I see it.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Dilly did don't say LeVar.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
I agree that was gonna be my natural reaction is
LeVar said it, but you didn't.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
You're right, that's messed up. That's messed up. You look
at me that way, right, Well.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
It's an actual reaction.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
I mean, you know, she doesn't look quite the same
these days either, by the way, not awful though, Yeah,
I think she still looks pretty good. Yeah, I take
it back, I take it back.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Fantastic for let me take it back.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Let me take it back. I just had to click
on it, click down on it, click down on it.
If you really want.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
It, so, uh, so away we go here on two
pros and a cup of Joe on this Wednesday morning,
we go. I don't know what it's worth or what
it even means big picture, but we do have a
brand new AP Top twenty five after college football. Yeah,
and we've got actual games as a body of evidence
to showcase where teams are stacked. In this AP Top

(05:59):
twenty five. Ohio State is number one. They are now
number one in the country. We are Ohio State is
sitting at too, all right, just a little messed up,
just stay.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
In it too.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
What happened there?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And then we've got LSU, Georgia and Miami to round
out the top five. So Texas drops down to seven.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
The biggest fall was obviously Alabama, who dropped down thirteen
spots to twenty one.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
And then we had Florida State, who was not ranked.
That's all of a sudden fourteenth in the country going
into the game. So again, until we get to the
College Football playoff, I don't know what.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Time, what was Alabama rank going into the game? They were, Yeah,
there are and Florida State was Florida State rated at all.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
Miami is a big mover. Miami moved up five spots.
Iowa State moved up six spots. That's about the most
outside of LS moving up six.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
So, you know, I was thinking about and looking at
the teams yesterday. We're thinking, how come Georgia just kind
of gets glossed over, you know what I mean, Like
George's sort of well when we're talking about I think
they were so dominant and so good for so long
that it was like, oh, yeah, we expect that. And
you know, they lose to Notre Dame last year in
the playoff. But I look at Georgia and I go,

(07:15):
I haven't heard a lot of discussion about them being
a team to watch out for as far as making
a run. And I don't know what that. I don't
know if there was just a fatigue element to it.
But they went years without losing a game.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
I could see where you're coming from. It just it
seems like we were just so used to it that
we just sort of, yeh, yeah, that's what we expected.
I think you still always skill film in though. I
think you always They're always a factor. I gave you
a little interesting nugget though. What's the nugget?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
So the preseason rankings for the A people right.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
There was obviously a difference between the coaches pool and
the A people uh with Penn State and Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Right, Penn State was two and the A.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
People three and the coaches pol preseason, but they were
almost number one. Penn State got twenty three votes to
be number one. Texas got twenty five, so it was
actually really close. After just one week of football. Ohio
State got fifty five of the votes to be number one.
Penn State only got seven. So it's crazy, how like

(08:19):
one game one week and it changes the entire perception
of those out there in the media that vote on
this or.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
The eight people.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
She's thinking about that bar.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
I mean, people got to do their coaches by the way,
for that matter too, the coaches poll was all the
more even again. Ohio State fifty nine first place votes,
Penn State only six. Just one week.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
I mean, they played a bigger game. That was a
big game, and you gotta believe whoever won that game
was going to get the majority of the votes. I mean,
that's just that's how it plays out.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
It is a big game, you know what I love
about it? Though?

Speaker 6 (08:54):
November first, one versus two Ohio State Dennis state. If
they both take both take care of.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Business and process, we got to beat all right. Yeah,
but they come in for the white out. It's just
that's a hard one. That's a hard one to deal with.
That's a hard one to deal with. There's been some
big speculation coming out on it. By the way, for
some reason, Lee said before the show that he refused
to take part in any white out, and I didn't
understand what he meant. I don't know a different white out.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
He can't keep his clothes white enough for that?

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Oh, I got you?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Or you sure step up the bat to defend.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
What do you mean that.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
Was a dick?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
She dug he can't keep his white stuff white?

Speaker 3 (09:43):
How would you know?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I give her all my whites like her.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
I give her. They're dating QW the launching together. They're dating.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
That feels like reckless speculation?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Is that is?

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Can we confirm that, Sally Richardson they're dating?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Did you guys see the little uh back and forth
between Dabo Switty and Brian Kelly yesterday? That was for
some reason, Brian Kelly I think took offense to Dabo
Swinney kind of I mean, you like get this, So
listen to the sound because it feels like Dabo was
being fair in his assessment of the game. So here

(10:30):
was Dabo Sweitty talking about the Clemson LSU game from
Saturday night.

Speaker 7 (10:34):
That is a physical group. It's a very smart quarterback.
They're gonna be a problem, and they got some explosive
dudes and we it was a hell of a game
down the last play right.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Out of the gate.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
It's like getting the final exam Day one a class.
They made a sixty five, We made a fifty eighty.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
One were great.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
So that was dabos You talking about the game with LSU.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
So he said that they tested out at one was
a pass and great. One was a failing great. Well,
but he gave Brian Kelly and ls you a failing grade.
Why they got a passing great.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I mean, it's a great win. But he's kind of right.
Neither one of them was great, Like it wasn't you know,
it wasn't the this flawless football game and Brian Kelly.
But don't make educated like, don't don't make it academic, right,
don't don't bring it into the realm.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Of of great you know, test grades and percentages that way,
and that can't become a little offensive.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
All right, then then you're in the same school as
Brian Kelly.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Who being sarcastic. But let's say you lost, but let's
hear what he said.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
We dominated him in the second half. So he's either
a really good grader for you know, giving himself a
fifty eight, or he's a really hard greater on us,
or he didn't see the second half, which that might
be the case. He might not have wanted to see
the second half.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
He gave them the fifty eight, Like didn't he give
them the fifty eight? He said, we did the sixty.
It was the opposite is.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
Brian Kelly marsh in the realm of like one of
the most unlikable college footballer.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
I guess voice really did it?

Speaker 6 (12:07):
You won the game. It was a seventeen to ten
ball game. Isn't that what the final score was?

Speaker 9 (12:12):
Right?

Speaker 4 (12:14):
LS? You beat him, right? Right?

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (12:15):
But no, Dabo was giving them sitting a little higher grade.
But he was saying that he didn't feel like either
team really you know, blew it out of the water.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
He's not wrong, Yeah, that's not wrong.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
He's got to take that shot.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
Like I'm telling you, man, it's it's there's so many
people that are just were like, good riddance, and they
could be.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Happier that he's somewhere else other than Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
He just that that strikes me as somebody who and
I can understand why it was a big game for
LSU because they had never won an opener since he's
been there.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
They lost like five straight.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
You know. All that being said, I didn't look at
anything or listen to anything that Davos when he said,
and been like, oh, that's totally wrecked. That's totally unfair.
How could you do that following a game? Not listen,
Neither one of us are great, but you know, first
exam of the year, that's it. That was that was it,
and Brian Kelly took offense to it. Decided to uh
to light him up afterwards. Well again, you had one

(13:11):
one passing grade bearely. They said d's get degrees, but
you know e's just don't.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
They don't get it done. That's a failing grade.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
I mean, listen, I forgot about this conversation.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
The eye.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
It ain't at ease. Yeah, yeah, e's and f's but
but fifties are ease, right, those are ease that's a
failing grade and that's that's not you. You can't pass
with it E, but you can pass with it D,
which is the sixties.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
All I'll say is there's no reason to take offense
to it. You know, they did win the game, you know,
Chip found or not Chip Brian finally got over that
that none winning the first game hump in a big game.
I thought that was a big game. I think Clemson's
going to continue. In fact, I in my mind for
some reason, I was thinking that Clemson won the game
for a few seconds. But that's going to be a

(14:02):
good team this year. That's going to be a team
to contend with that. You know. The interesting thing about
the ap pole and just the things that are being discussed,
And it happened last year and it played out like
like we said, Notre Dame ended up beating Georgia like
and Georgia was a really good football team and they
were able to beat them. There's going to be a
team that loses early that's going to catch fire and

(14:25):
they're going to be a problem as this season goes on.
A lot of good teams that did not win this
past Saturday, so and by the way I loved. I
loved the post game, the post game talked by by
coach from Notre Dame Freeman. I loved his words and
his sentiments to his team. It was very relevant. And

(14:46):
you know what, he's been there before. Some of those guys,
they've been there before. So some of these guys are
going to bounce back. So it's kind of hard. It's
kind of difficult. You know, when you see a team
take an l early on in the year and it's
like dang, like you know where they go from here.
But you know, the playoffs has has given teams an
opportunity to have those slip ups and you know, we'll

(15:08):
see what happens.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
I just think, for so long, if you're a college
football fan, you felt like if you lost a game,
you had no hopes of a national championship, and you know,
and playing a Notre Dame because you're an independent, it
meant that much more. And you felt that weight that
much more because you weren't in a conference. So even
if you lost, and once you lost a game, you

(15:30):
were like, all right, seasons a kind of over. You
have to hope and pray you get a shot, but
you're like you didn't have a conference, you know, a
championship to play for, which is still something like guys
preached to nowadays because the expanded playoff, you know, coaches
and I think fans and players, like everyone involved in
the sport has to really change their mindset because you

(15:52):
can drop a game, you can drop two games. You
can go win your conference and drop three games. That's
what Clemson did last year and you can still make it.
So I look at it and just say it's a
long season, Like this is a sport that was a
regular season sport for forever and it's now transitioning to
a postseason sport. And because of that, you have to

(16:15):
change your mindset and how we live and dial with
some of these games now, I would say this, it
does take away some of the bite of these games.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Like you look at.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
The you know, Notre Dame, Miami, Notre Dame's perspective of
Texas and Ohio State. They're not out of it by
any means. I mean, even Texas as far as like
going to win the SEC. I still viewed them as
the top team in the SEC. You know, looking at Clemson,
they lost LSU. I still view Clemson as a team
that's going to potentially win the AC And I know
Florida State played well, I know Miami played well. I

(16:49):
still look at Clemson and go, yeah, I could see
them winning when the A SEC.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah yeah, I just I didn't take and I know
that it maybe takes some bite out of it. I
don't look at it and go, well, maybe those teams
didn't want to win as much as they would have
had they been punished for a loss.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
No, no, And.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
In fact, I think moving forward, this is going to
make the beginning of the year that much better because
teams are going to be like, yeah, we'll take some chances,
like we'll go on the road, we'll play a big
time program with maybe they wouldn't have done it before,
which I thought my takeaway from this past weekend it
was the first and I know it's the preseason rankings,
but I think it was the first time we had

(17:27):
a bunch of top ten teams face off with each other,
the first time it had happened. And if you're a
long time or ever, and I looked at that and
I was like, that's awesome, Like if we could get
more of that moving forward with the expanded playoffs, you're
bookending the season with Alls.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
I think it depends, though.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
I think it depends like I think you have other
coaches who take like Kirk Signetti's approach and say, well,
why would I like, why would I schedule a really
tough oppon of Week one, lose and then come back
and say, yeah, I'm not going to make it as
a ten and two football team. I mean, they're like
the case study for an eleven to one record, where

(18:04):
I believe, in Big Ten Conference play, they only played Michigan,
that was probably their toughest Big Ten opponent. They didn't
play Oregon, they didn't play Ohiose State, they didn't play
Penn State last year, so that's your toughest opponent. They
really didn't play win the non conference. So I mean,
if you're looking at a program like that, he's looking
at saying, well, if I get to eleven and one,
I'm always gonna be a part of the conversation. Whereas

(18:26):
if I'm ten and two, maybe I'm not because my schedule,
you know, isn't strong enough. But that allowed Indiana to
get in last year and that was the right of
the SEC.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Is there a chance that there's a better loss based
upon the strength of the team you play versus a
week or win against an opponents.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
The College Football Playoff Committee did change their waiting on
how they're handling those bigger matchups, so they're giving more
weight to a loss to a really good team or
a win over a really good team. This is the
first year they're implementing that. I don't know how exactly
they're putting it into their formula, but they did announce

(19:05):
that that is going to be a bigger piece of it,
which is one of the reasons why the SEC has
didn't come out and said, hey, we're gonna play a
ninth conference game starting twenty twenty six, and I don't
know if they're gonna make other rules about how they're
gonna go about these non conference games. I mean, here's
the hard part about the sport is the sports becomes
so centered and focused on just the top that we

(19:25):
tend to forget like some of these small schools when
they get those million dollar payouts and more than that
that that goes to their budget, like they don't have
an athletics program or they're going to struggle if they
don't play. You know, if it's like an LSU doesn't
play some directional school at some point in time, or
some of these bigger schools don't play these smaller schools
that need that payoff for their budget. So that becomes

(19:48):
the difficult conversation is like, what do you say to
some of these you know, Northwest Alabama, you know school
that needs the money to play that game. Even though
they're at the doors kicked in, it's it's still old
financially you know, important for them to be able to
make that sort of money.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
So how do you go about handling that?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, it's uh, just tell them to start gambling. It
feels like the same.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Oh, they're going to ultimately lose out because they're going
to start losing those games if it goes that direction.
I mean, that's what I would say. You want to
get those games. But if they're not going to schedule
you based upon other elements that may become a part
of the conversation, then a lot of those schools are
going to lose those opportunities to get their asses kicked,
to get money, ask kicking for hire. You know those

(20:36):
games are gonna eventually. I if they continue to build
these conferences up, I just wonder, do you even have
an out of conference schedule before long, you know, maybe
your whole entire season becomes an in conference season if
they continue to grow them, Like why would you go

(20:57):
out of conference if you're going to take it used
to be the Big ten or the Pac ten or
the Big twelve, like you got like twenty teams now
like or sixteen eighteen teams. You know, like as that
continues to grow, if there's a monopoly by the SEC
and the Big ten, then eve you would have to

(21:18):
assume perceivably even like the ACC may may even go
away or you know, struggle to be whatever it is,
slip into being a different you know, like more of
a what is it an FBS type of school something
to that you know, you don't know, but I mean
you would assume that that's where this is all hitting.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Even the NFL plays cross conference.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Games, sure, like in the NFL would play like a
Big ten SEC game.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
So I think that would be I think that would
be interesting if.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
But honestly, the most interesting thing college football would do
it this will never happen, is a promotion relegation model
where you would take the Big ten SEC, you take
the ACC in Big twelve, and you'd figure out amongst
all those teams and I don't know if it's sixty
teams what have you, but you'd have like thirty team

(22:11):
leagues and you would have different you know, just like
they do in English Premier League soccer, where three teams
get promoted from that bottom thirty team league up to
the next the bottom three get demoted, and you figure
out what the TV rights contracts like, how much that
would impact obviously what they'd make, and you'd figure out
the rest from there. But that, to me, would create

(22:34):
so much more excitement out of the back end of
those teams, and you could still keep the playoffs, still
keep all the.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Things that make it fun.

Speaker 6 (22:42):
Now I would one hundred percent in favor of that,
but there's no chance because no one's you know, no
one's going to try to apply that sort of thinking
to college football, even though honestly, if you go over there,
the closest sport I've ever seen in person to college football,
it's not like the NFL. The NFL is just a
sterile corporate environment. It is Premier League soccer. It is incredible,

(23:07):
the way the fans are, the way they treat it,
how they I would say tailgate around it and the
things they like, the bars, everything else, like the fandom
behind it, the closest thing.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's so much more tribal and so close to college football.

Speaker 6 (23:19):
It's funny, like I wish more people could experience that,
because if they did, they'd be like this is fun,
like this is a this is an awesome atmosphere, just
like I felt like background was in college.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Who parties harder college football or in EPL fans?

Speaker 6 (23:34):
I don't know, dude, Back in the day, some of
these soccer leagues, like people getting like stabbed and killed.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
It's just it's wild.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
They're setting fire on stuff. It's just I don't know's I've.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
I've seen cars going river in college football, goalposts going rivers, like.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
It's it's close. You know.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
There's a period of time when I was young, and
I remember in Columbus it was like if they want
a big game him, they'd be like cars on fire.
If they lost the big game, they'd be flipping cars
to be on fire. And I was like, hey, Mom
and dad, why why are the cars on fire? Like, well,
stay lost, it's all right, Well that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, I guess does it. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
I mean, I can see somebody in Ohio saying that
makes sense or Michigan's you know.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Does that not happen in an exactly valleys? Thing like
we used to is soft now because they don't set
cars on.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
We used to win, We used to win big games.
We rioted. But you know, you got to keep in
mind we're Philly and we're Pittsburgh and Philly fans they
they act up when you know they can't handle success.
It's true. I don't know what it is about Philly fans, man,
but they can't listen. That's my mob, That's that's definitely

(24:50):
my mom. But I'm just saying, Saturday Philly fans, I
love them to death. Sunday filling Philly fans not so much.
I'm just saying, And it's the same people. So I
don't know how you split it up. You know, it's
a great you know, hey, hey, get a little bit
of this steak. Yeah you see the steak, You get
it a little soup?

Speaker 10 (25:09):

with the air. So we are going to have another
edition of In case you missed it coming up here
in about twelve minutes from now. Right now, though, it
is time for the Tirerac Play of the Day.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
They'll be above five hundred.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
They're five games out.

Speaker 9 (26:53):
Help the final wildcard spot Devers.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Guys want to write way up.

Speaker 9 (26:57):
There and on another one for Raffie Devers and Kyle Freeland.
The benches are clearing. Devers is trying to round the bases.
Freeland was unhappy and now we got punches being thrown.
Oh my goodness, mean Devers still hasn't rounded the bases.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
NBC Sports Bay Area on the call. That is your
tire Rack Play of the Day. For over forty years,
Tyrack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, shipped fast and freeback by
free Road as a protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot com. The way tire
buying should be.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Was it the punches that was the play of to day?

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, I don't like what for first off, there were
no real punches throwing. But Freeland, the pitcher for the Rockies,
got pissed because it. I mean, I think it was
the first inning and this guy hits a bomb. But
he wasn't even he wasn't even pimping it that much.
He was just watching the ball go and he got

(28:02):
pissy and started yelling at him, and then somebody stuck
up for him, and it's like, why don't you just
come out and say we're awful, We're one of the
worst teams in the history of baseball. We're the Rockies.
There's no hope. My eer just got blown to smithereens
and I've had a little bit of a red ass
about it. That's it.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
But instead he tried to explain it away after the game,
but it didn't make much sense to anybody who watched
the play.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
So there's that. So that is your tire rack play
of the day. Alrighty then according to lead the lap
who like the fisticuffs that took place in that game?

Speaker 4 (28:37):
There were punches being thrown.

Speaker 13 (28:41):
I can give you one hundred twenty mile per hour
home run from show Hey o Tani instead, Oh.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
That that was the Oh my gosh, look at him.
That was the that was the exit ve low on
the uh.

Speaker 13 (28:54):
Yeah, and that was his one hundredth the home run
for the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
He's already a hundred home runs for the Dodgers. Do
you think he do you think that seven hundred million
dollar contract that he got has already been worthwhile for
the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
I think he's artificial intelligence. Do you ever look at
the way he walks up to the to the batter's
box and like it's like literally the exact same movement,
the exact same way every single time you AI. I
think he is. I think he is. I think he

(29:32):
has been dropped into our MLB. I think that he
has infiltrated. They have been testing AI underneath our noses. Wow,
And we can't tell what everybody is doing. But if
you watch this dude walk up to the pictures the
or the batter's box. He looks like he's not real.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
I will say, uh I, I do buy into your
theory that they've been tested sting underneath our.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Noses and nobody.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, yeah, the entire time.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
There's probably people that we've come in contact throughout the
course of our lives that aren't actually human. Maybe yeh
me you know, yeah, you your Dracula.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Yeah you're not AI, You're you're vampire.

Speaker 1 (30:20):

that clock, guys, Full time for that clock, guys, real quick?
Is Breer coming on tomorrow. Yeah, Thursdays.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
I do wonder why he didn't share what he shared,
at least what I saw on DP yesterday. So it's
like there were six teams is what he reported involved
with the trade for Mike Parsons and the Green Bay Packers.
There's six other teams interested. I should say five teams
and the six team being Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Oh so he was holding out on us.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
He might not He might not have known at that
point last week. Oh well thanks. Oh hey guys, Hey,
he might not have known at that point.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Whose side are you on here?

Speaker 13 (31:39):
On all of our sides, I'm including Breers, I'm explaining Star.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
Some more red meat, like lifting weights more, you need
more tests, not a fun fun So.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
He might not have known. We should be more understanding,
very more radio. It's sports talk radio.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Hey, Brady, That Brady is that? I like the conversation
you and Lee had in New Orleans when I went
to use the bathroom after dinner that one night we
went to the Italian Place.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
He was hammered.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
No, but he was.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
He was trying to defend Yeah, the couch.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
I'll never forget that.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Maybe maybe you should be more understanding. I was like,
oh God, you're you're a bitch.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
I was like, there will always be a live there
will always be a divide between.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Leoni because I was just like, I'm not that guy.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Pal. I come back from the bathroom. Brady's like, you
should have heard this.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
As I'm like, what happened? He expins the story and
he's like, well, I'm just saying, you know, I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
I'm just saying, you know, there should be more understanding
of it.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Oh, Damn Albert Breer holding down savings, saving all the
good stuff for Damn Patrick.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
How dare he?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Geez, kids are stars on radio because of us.

Speaker 6 (33:03):
Lee, you should be while our producer Lee is one
hundred percent okay with it.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Should be offended, like you should be calling them like, hey,
don't bring that like you come on our show.

Speaker 13 (33:12):
First, I was upset about it, but I'm just I
had to justify it to myself.

Speaker 6 (33:16):
So hold on, when you saw that clip yesterday, you no, no,
hold on, at some point in your day you saw
the clip, you.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Go, damn it, gosh, it's so mad. You actually reacted
like that at some point yesterday.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
No way, I was. I was upset. You didn't have
that take. They didn't have it for us.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
We had them on right after it happened, so I
get it.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
You know you're probably well let he probably just found
out about it.

Speaker 14 (33:53):
This is.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Why you get your ass kicked by the I'm not gonna.

Speaker 14 (33:58):
Say ah, all right, well, uh, for those of you

(34:24):
that are not are not familiar, we think Lee has
a tell of he's uh, he's been drinking.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
He will snort and go ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (34:38):

Speaker 10 (36:06):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
In case you missed it, you guys, in case, in
case you missed it.

Speaker 13 (36:14):
Johnny Manziel was on the Nightcap podcast talking about his
days in Cleveland and said that he had wished they'd
given him a better chance to develop as a quarterback,
and also through a little bitterness on top.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Take a listen, I.

Speaker 15 (36:27):
Sit here today and I go back and forth with man,
am I gonna let Cleveland off the hook and just
like let it go? Or am I gonna sit here
with hate and animosity in my heart for the rest
of my life? And I finally sit here today, I'm like, good.
I think I'm gonna be pissed that I'm and hate
him forever. So it is what it is.

Speaker 10 (36:47):
Man, No no love for the Browns.

Speaker 15 (36:49):
I'm rooting for oh with seasons every season?

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yeah, who is that?

Speaker 6 (36:54):
What's tough about this is I was also listening to
a clip where he was talking about how he kept
leaving Cleveland every single Monday, Like he'd book a flight
to Miami, He'd book a flight.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
To get back to Texas, all these other places. I'm like,
where's the accountability?

Speaker 6 (37:11):
Like I get out. I'm one of the quarterbacks who
went there. Our coach, general manager, everyone was fired. They
clean house and started over, you know, my third year there,
and this is after we had like probably fifteen.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Guys in ir in two thousand and eight. Whatever it
was we won ten games the year before that.

Speaker 6 (37:26):
Like, if there was ever a time to not do
what they did hit the reset button, it was probably then.
But like, I don't have any animosity towards Cleveland, Like
I just look back and go like, did I do
everything I possibly could have done to prepare myself to
try to go in there?

Speaker 3 (37:44):
And yeah, like there's not.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
I don't look back and be like, oh, I partied
or I was going to my Like I have the
exact opposite feeling of all that. I always wish that
I just would have had a little bit longer there
to try to be there to turn it around, and
with some of the guys who were with me, especially
my first couple of years, because we did have a
good team.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
It's just got blown up at the first sign of
adversity with injuries.

Speaker 6 (38:07):
But it's just wild to hear someone who like, you know,
you listen to his words, You're like, well, dude, what
were you doing? Like I understand it wasn't a great
organization maybe around you and trust me, I went to
enough to know, but like at the same time, like,
did you do everything you possibly could have done to
make yourself the best player possible? If the answers, no,
you can't point the figure of someone else. I'm sorry,

(38:28):
that's just not how I view like.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Wait, so, Brady, you mean you didn't put on a
disguise so that you could go gamble and drink in
Las Vegas, so that the team wouldn't find out about
it when you were at the Browns. You didn't didn't
you didn't act in them. That's that's disappointing.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Kind of corny, Jonas, that's what he did. Ye, I know,
both corny, both bringing it up and him doing it
a super corny. But I have my resentment towards the owner.
I think he stole a lot of our careers. He
was a career snatcher. And I mean for the guys

(39:02):
that were smart enough to get the hell away. You know,
Trent got away, Champ Bailey got up out of there,
escaped up out of there. I mean, at least there
were a few people that he escaped. The jaws and
the clutching grip of Dan Snyder's you know, crippling hand,
his crippling ass arm. But I had never held any

(39:24):
any type of ill feelings towards the fans. I felt
like the true fans, like if Johnny Manziel was keeping
it real, like have your beef with with somebody that
directly impacted you in that way negatively, Like to me,
don't I don't see the fan base being that they
at least it wasn't for me. They were always super

(39:44):
cool people. But I don't even really associate myself with
my pro career. That's how bad it was. And I
made Pro Bowls and I did give my all. I
did have more coaches than years in the league at
one point, but he was who's counting.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Ronny Manziel, Take that foot and kick it into a rock, man,
that's damn break that big toenail man. You know, kick
a rock. It does not even mean, you know, it makes
sense to me.

Speaker 11 (40:15):
