Speaker 1 (02:10):
But currently on DraftKings for if you guys want to
channel your Brendan Sores beam, if you'd like to wager
on the Hall of Fame game coming up later on tonight,
the Carolina Panthers a one and a half point favorite.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's too soon, bro, and shouts out to Ryan Keighley
getting into that hall. Oh good for him? Oh, Luke, Yeah, Ryan,
who's Ryan Keikley?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
No idea absolutely.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Early morning brain brain fart, Ryan Keiley, Who, No, it's
Luke Keikley. That was just a slip of a right
mistake cleaned up on the podcast. I kind of felt like,
maybe I know Ryan Keigley, but no I don't. Maybe
I don't, I don't I do, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Jeremiah Love, all right, A little disappointing here.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's a little disappointing, you know, like, come on, let's
let's uh you see him wet our beak a little bit,
give two series, Let's let's see something. Let's see let's
see a run like we saw in the Orange Bowl
a couple of years ago with that bum knee, Like,
let's like, let's let's really friend of the program. By
the way, Jeremiah Love should be pointed out here, a
one time guest.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I hate him up.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
He needed to come on, you know, talk to him
a football you know, there you go, notre Dame football baby.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I just based on the clips that are coming out
of their training camp, you need to preserve him as
best you can't.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Look, there's not a lot of optimism for the Cardinals
this year.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well you know, yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It does have a h An Ashton gent type vibe
to it, where it's like there's not a whole lot
of not a whole lot of space there for him
to uh, for him to really go anywhere. So uh,
the quarterback battle coming up later on tonight, Kenny Pickett
for the Carolina Panthers and Carson Beck for the Arizona Cardinals.
(04:08):
So Kenny Pickett got drafted in the first round, not
that long ago.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
This is his fifth team.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
This is about it. You gotta do something or I mean,
he's already a career backup.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But isn't that kind of crazy though that he wasn't
that long ago he got drafted, and I know what
happens all the time. It's still I think people kind
of gloss over it and say, well, that's it, books written,
he's done, and it's like, dude, he hasn't been in
the league that long and he's just bounced around, and yeah,
he's probably just looking at it being a career backup
from now on.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Oh you got a cue, you got it? Well I was.
I think it's pretty plain and simple. If you're projected
as a top round pick and you go into you know,
you go into the draft in the first round, they
are expecting you to be a guy that will play,
you will eventually be a starter in the in the
(05:04):
in the league, and he got his opportunity to start,
by the way, he did get an opportunity to be
the starter uh in Pittsburgh for a time. It it
just hasn't worked out for him, and for whatever the
reason may be, it's it's probably safer to say that
he is a career back up to journeymen to in
(05:29):
and out of the league as needed, two over to
it being done where he's at at this point, and
and I don't know, I think it's I think it's
pretty safe to say that at this point. So Kenny
Pikett is not to me fighting for a starting job tonight.
He's obviously battling for the backup position and that's what
(05:53):
what it'll be for him probably at most unless an
injury takes place.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, it's just I mean that quick.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Me.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I just that, I don't know, man, I think it.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
If you need five teams in the amount of time
he's been in the league as a top draft pick,
it's kind of the book is getting written on you.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Like Baker Mayfield bounced around and then ultimately found a
home in Tampa forever long. He's going to be there,
and then you've seen you know, Sam Darnold's gotten that
opportunity and bounced around. But those feel like the exceptions.
They were the starter starters though. Those were guys that
played and impacted their teams. Kenny Pickett was we were
there when he got drafted in Vegas and it was,
(06:38):
oh my god, the Steelers drafted at their hometown.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Guy. There, you guys were there in Vegas for that
one show?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Oh yeah, he played Star Game.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
What happened in that?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So the next morning on Friday, they thought it was
a good idea, with the show starting at three am.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
To have us never let that die.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, to have us do a a broadcast, uh, both from.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Both of you from I die from a sports bar chrits.
I always forget it until you say, like, what the
hell happened? Oh? They said they sent us to They
started off with Lee getting that horrible ass coffee they did.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It was horrible. Yeah, Lee got a batch of coffee
that he said.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
The person that gave him the coffee said, you might
die from it. I'm not even going to charge you.
Are you sure you want this coffee?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
It was like they rang out of bum's clothes into
a cup and handed it to said good morning, everybody,
and they put us in this sports bar next to
Hakkasan as it was letting out at three in the morning,
and right next to the escalator that went to the parking.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
They're passing by us as they go to their room.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And you know a gal who to give her credit,
she was an eight on a scale of one to
a thousand. She walked over and was a big fan
of Stick City Man she was.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Did she have a COVID? I think she had a
mask on, didn't she? At one point she lowered her mask.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I don't remember. I don't remember. Didn't you catch it
on video? Didn't somebody get get on video?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
She ran up on you too, though, don't act like
she didn't run up on you too.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, but it did the fake phone call trick where
you just pick up any object near you could be
a coaster.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
To stir your coffee. I think that's yeah, I'm still here.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I think I think if I recall correctly, she says
she wanted to stir your coffee. Man, Is she twirking
on my leg or something like that?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That's crazy, man, back man, I put it out there,
put my leg out there to be twirked on, like,
don't you do that.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Like you just kind of stick it out there a
little bit just to be seen.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You know, like how you start like stretching, you put
your hands on your hip, you just like kind of
like stretch it out.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Didn't I joke it didn't. Well, I don't know if
I should say that on the air.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What I know, They're like, there was a former Jaguars
coach who did that once at a bar, sitting at.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
A bar stoore, it's my homie, man, don't do that. No,
I'm just saying he was just chilling.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
It was a bad camera angle own business. Hey, look
these days is crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It certainly is going to add that lady to that
man's lap. That's a good, right, That's good. That's what
I'm going with every day.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So are we Are we planning on doing any over
unders or any wagers on this Hall of Fame game?
Because the problem with the Hall of Fame game when
the field isn't melting like it did a few years back,
is that you get really excited they kick off. You
watch the first couple series and you realize, oh, this
is nowhere close to the real thing, and that everybody
(09:58):
just sorts sort of tunes out. This is where sports
gambling takes center stage and makes everything that much better.
So what would be some wagers to throw down to
try and make this game somewhat enticing? I mean, we
know the starting quarterbacks are going to be but if
Jeremiah loves not playing, you know, and some other key
members of both teams aren't playing, how can we add
(10:21):
some spice to this to make this game worthwhile?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
What do we gotta do? You know, how to do this?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Over unders? Just random over unders throughout the course of
the whatever you want, man.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
I.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Just I'm trying, you know, like this is like we've
got preseason here.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And it just d something. Don't don't say you try something. Well, look,
I mean we can go. Let's let's let's do what
an idea.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Don't act like you haven't prepared for this well, I
mean I was looking at some stuff on on DraftKings yesterday,
you know, just some you know, some depending on like
Carson beck first pass specials is his first pass a completion,
first pass to be ten plus yards? Kenny Pickett first
(11:10):
pass specials. But you know then you want to get
negative because that's more fun.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
It's a completion you know. I think it's a completion problem.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Okay, all right, Kenny, Okay, So there's a.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I kind of feel like it'll be a screen or
something easy, something easy to get get him rolling something.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I mean, if there's a time to go deep, why
not just go deep in it? Right, just get all
up in it, right right right out the gate.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know? Why? Why tease it? Man?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You two got problems?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Man, what.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Do you mean you know exactly what you're doing?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Then we just spend the whole first ten minutes of
the segment talking about how boring is going to be?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Why not give the fans what they want? Is there
over under?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
On?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
How long the first is that? What you just said?
How long is the first pass?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I mean you could just go deep ten plus yards?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, let's go ten plus taken the over it's a
Brady's point, go deep, something to try and you know,
something to try and work, you know, Kenny, two gloves
into the offense here like that feels what you well,
you know, I mean, you don't want to overwhelm the
guy overwhelming A lot of pressure?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Is there a lot of pressure? The first Football Game
of the Year. He's been a pro for a while.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
If that's too much pressure for him to be a
backup in a scrimmage game, then you know what, Now
you've come to your own you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It should be pointed out that Carson Beck's first pass
to be a touchdown is currently at plus ten thousand, which,
if my math is correct, five dollars. If that hits
wins you a lear jet. That's so that's not going
to you don't think first pass touchdown. But if he
goes deep as as you have, maybe that's.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Maybe it's possible. I mean, maybe it's possible.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
So well, I'm just I mean, but but here's the thing.
If his first pass comes on like their own thirty
or twenty yard line, I doubt it's going to go
that far.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Do you guys remember your first preseason game. I want
to say yes, I want to say it was against Tampa. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh, I want to say it was against Tampa, But
I could be wrong, so I'm gonna say no. I
don't remember two thousand preseason for the Skins. I think
it was in Tampa Bay against Tampa because I recall
hyper ventilating because I came out onto the field, and
I was like, there's Derek Brooks warming up right.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Wow, there he is.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I started hyper ventilating, bro, because I saw it, Like
then Sap came skipping out, like then Sime and Rice
came out. And then I saw, like I just I
saw so many guys that like I grew up like admiring.
It was like dang like and then I couldn't breathe
and I felt like my legs weighed like two hundred
pounds each trying to run down on kickoff. That's true story,
(14:19):
So I do think it was. If I am going
with it, I will say I believe it was Tampa Bay.
That was my first first first preseason game, bro.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
That's pretty cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And then and then did you score a touchdown against
them of the playoff game years ago?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Now they did?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, Hey, congratulations August four to two thousand, Tampa Bay thirteen,
Washington twelve. See that's a that's a preseason score, all right,
Bucks over the Redskins thirteen twelve.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That was the first one. Yeah, there you go, you
got it, thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Then you had the Patriots after that you probably played
again remember Tom Brady and that you guys are in
the same room, key class probably did.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, the Brownies after that, okay, and then I remember
that because I hit, Uh, I hit the running back.
I deleted him like that. It was on the highlights.
I deleted the running back for the Browns that year, like,
I mean, absolutely deleted him.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It was gay. He was gay? Yeah, that was him.
What was the running back's name? Who cares what his
personal life is, What does that matter? That was his
last name?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh? Sorry, Gay? Yeah, that sound a little bit different. Yeah,
I hit him, you know, I gave it to him. Hey,
knocked him right on out. And that was the guy
for Cleveland. Yeah, I mean, look, what was the running
(15:55):
back for Cleveland that was named gay? I'm pretty certain
his name was gay. I could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I don't know. I'm not up on gay. So will
you will will he Gay? Will young Gay? Will will
he Gay? Who knows? Who knows at this point.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
But I didn't play with anyone that with that name,
So I'm not sure what I mean.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
You usually come in and say, yeah, hear your figure go.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
There was nobody like I've I've not heard of anyone
with this name that I played.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
With, so he might have been gone by the time
you got there, though. This is two thousand, RB Browns,
two thousand, Ben Gay. There you go. He's been gay
for how long? Well, apparently since he was born.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So yeah, he played one season for the Browns in
two thousand and one. He rushed for one hundred and
seventy two yards on fifty one carries in one touchdown.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
And then yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Thought it was in two thousand though, but maybe I
hit him in two thousand and one.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
No, but that was so yeah, that was the So
it should be noted the Redskins, yes, finished three to
one that preseason.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
So you guys were a good preseason.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
We were pretty good in preseason almost every year. Yeah,
I'm the one year with coach Spurry or I believe
we went on we went under the feet, he really
stepped it every and everybody was like, ohh old ball, coach,
I don't think we won another game. And then you
(17:46):
start to realize, even guys who played in the league,
you start to realize that that game plan and is
way different for regular season. Bro, Like, wait a second,
we thought we were good.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
We weren't.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Man, bummer, it, says Ben Gay. Passed away in twenty
twenty four car crash. Oh condolences. We've never known that,
but that's your h So you do see recall though
I blew him up. Bro, that's good recall. So your
(18:20):
first preseason game, remember that, Brad. Do you remember your
first preseason game?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Of course?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yeah, I mean technically the first one was versus Kansas City,
which I didn't get to go in because I just
got there probably three days four days before the preseason game.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
We had a gred upon terms, So that was technically
the first preseason game.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
The first one I played in was Detroit, which they
let me go in like the final gosh, what was
it like eight minutes nine minutes in the fourth quarter,
So went in drop down to scoring drives because we
were down by decent amount, so it kind of brought
us back, had super board conversion and then I think
(19:00):
we I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
We ended up losing.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
It was close though, but like I had a couple
of nice touchdown drives touchdown passes, so.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I mean the coolest part about it is I personally
felt like to be thrust.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
It in as a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Yeah, A two minute drill is actually awesome because you're
not you're playing so fast, you're not really thinking as much.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It's about everything else, you know.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
In the NFL, like especially when you huddle there, it
feels like there's it's an eternity between one play to
the next, and obviously there's a lot of things going
on in between. So it was nice to be like,
all right, like I know, we know the situation. You know,
like you've got to go down and get points because
we're down by a couple of scores and this is
the deal.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
So it was cool.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
It was cool, And because I was a rookie, obviously
a lot of the guys I was playing with at
that time were guys who were.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
In my rookie class.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
So that was the easiest part for me too, because
back then, you know, as rookie, you got there early.
You were with those guys all the time. I mean,
you went through everything, even outside of like your install,
you were like hanging out together, you know, meals together,
doing all the like rookie symposium stuff and like training
you had to do. So like those guys with some
(20:16):
of the guys that threw the most passes to you know,
whereas once you got in with like the ones, those
were only guys you mixed in every once in a while,
so you didn't have as great a chemistry as you
did with the guys that you actually came in with
as a rookie class.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
So it was it was fun.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I mean, there's nothing like it, you know, there's nothing
like like living out that dream of putting on the
helmet and everything else. The hard thing is once preseason's
over with a lot of those guys never get another
shot again.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, that's what I always think about that too, because
everyone sort of like, yeah, who cares about the preseason?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Man?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
For some of those guys, like that running back, that
was his shot man, and he actually got on the
field against NFL players, against great NFL players, And that's
really at whatever age you are your last cup of
coffee playing the sport that you've been playing for years
and years.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
The cheerleaders, for some strange reason, you pay a little
bit more attention to the cheerleaders too, man, Like I
don't recall, like I don't really recall like seeing our
cheerleaders all like that when I was in college, But
for some strange reason, they were so much more noticeable
in the league. And I recall noticing the cheerleaders too,
(21:24):
and like pregame warm up. I don't know why, but
they were definitely more noticeable. They commanded more attention, I guess,
I'll say, I don't know, even the first few rows
of the bleachers. I recall scanning them too, and it
was just yeah, I gets like, wow, I'm a pro now.
(21:48):
I believe I was with another rookie when we came
to the conclusion that we're pros. Now, like, let's let's
play like pros. We're in the pro ranks now.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I can't I can't recall all that, but you know.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, I do recall having a moment like and that
was in Washington, like we were at home and and
and some a couple of what it was was now.
I remember they were hitting on the h the padded
you know, the wall.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
They were hitting on the.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Wall like hey, hey, LeVar, hey hey, And I looked up.
I was like, hey, how y'all doing?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Httr baby? Then we started walking away like mmm hammers, yeah,
oh bruh oh. Washington d C has some beautiful people, man,
man love preseason fuck that. I don't ever recall ever
noticing anybody like that ever. Again, though, that's the thing
(22:45):
about it. I think that's like.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
They learning only.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I just think that my eyes was open, and I
was a rookie and this was something that was very
new to a Pittsburgh kid that hasn't seen much like Let's.
It was a rap for my fiance by the way,
I was engaged head a kid. Oh yeah, I said,
I am a pro now well.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Very similar to LeVar and the Washington chierladers for the
ones who got it done. Grange rappers accessed to over
a million products in the scale to deliver when we need.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Them, the right tools and supplies. They're never far away.
Call Clipgrins dot comor just stop.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Off it is. That was the best segue, two pros
and a cup of joe here.
Speaker 4 (23:29):

LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you come it
up in about fifteen minutes from now, we are going
to have another edition of In case you missed it,
that's going to be yours right here on FSR. All right,
so we got a little bit of an update. Not much,
but it's a little bit of an update. Aaron Donald
(25:16):
had a tryout with the Rams yesterday. Even though he
was not in pads, he wanted to wear a helmet.
Thus the Rams had to inform the league because he
used their equipment, So it showed up on the transaction
wire as a tryout.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
For Aaron Donald.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It's like, we're getting to the point where somebody make
a move here, like what's happening? Can we get like
maybe he's got to hire an agent to do some
whiteboard breakdown and that way we can add a new
twist on this whole thing. But it just feels like
a foregone conclusion. He's there, he's trying out. It's got
to be in the equipment. I'm not sure what else
(26:02):
is really the hold up? Maybe finance, I don't I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Hold up, bro, They're just they're just just easing through
the process and then they'll announce it when they're ready
to announce it. They already know he's coming back. Spoiler alert,
hate to hate to give y'all the ending of this story.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
He's coming back, So you don't think that there's anything
to know. He just wants to see how his body
feels with a helmet on.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
No sounds good.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Isn't that what defensive guys do?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah, and he could have done that one hundred. You
know how many helmets that man has in his house.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
That's gonna say how many? Probably quite a few.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I mean their culture is a little different than ours, right,
Like we got helmets from one another at Pro Bowls.
They get jerseys helmets like they they exchange everything. They
give jockstrap, they give whole outfits these days, like just
get button aked on the field, take the whole outfit
like you, my boy. They walked back to the They
(27:05):
walk back to the locker room with a towel on
these days, they don't have nothing. He got enough helmets
in his house. This isn't about him filling it out
with a helmet on. This is about him going through
He's a very processed, oriented, driven dude. I know the
dude who like I know two of the guys that
got him going. And I've had conversations with coach Graham
(27:28):
and a guy that used to play ball, he might
he well, he's he's my age Coach Gibson. Demond Gibson,
who played for Pitt played at the same high school
as as why my blanket on Aaron with Aaron Donald
where he went Penn Hills, And the things that they
talk about when they speak on him is how process
(27:50):
oriented he is, how maybe people have seen some of
the clips on him on how he talks to himself
and he talks himself up. He's very much much like
that in everything that he does. From the accounts given,
he's very very in terms of how he goes through
his process.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
He'll he'll like what it sounds like when he's talking
to himself.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Come on, a come on, a D. Come on a D.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Violent, be violent, be valent, under control though controlled aggression,
control aggression. Come on, come on, a D. Be great today.
Let's be great today. Let's be great like somebody in
trouble to like, just know somebody, somebody's going to be
in trouble. But he's the type of dude that if
(28:38):
he feels confident about the process, which by the way,
he already feels comfortable with it. I'll say that confidently.
It's just a matter of I think it's a matter
of him easing himself into it, because I think the
biggest thing is because he's so processed orient it and
(29:00):
he's very, very like cerebral in the way that he
approaches what he does. I think he has to convince
himself that it's okay to convince his household that he's
going to go through an entire football season. That's to me,
that's going to be the biggest That's the biggest thing
he's probably had to navigate.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
You don't think they've already had that conversation. Yes, numerous times.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
And let me tell you something, knowing a kid from Penhills,
Pennsylvania getting an opportunity to go make another couple million
dollars to go play, and you already have a Hall
of Fame career, you're already considered one of the greatest,
if not greatest interior defensive lineman defensive lineman ever in
(29:46):
the history of the game. I'm certain she's sitting there
and she's saying, go get that money, baby.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Because I did see there was a story that came
out that he's already lined up future media endeavors that
he's been in the process of that as well too,
And so I wonder if you did shaping the boys
get him like, that'd be awesome. Yeah, that'd be uh yeah,
do do weekend show? Why not start off? Start off
(30:13):
that way and then uh, you know, work your way up.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
See that.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I don't think he has to work his way up
Shaffy in it's time.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
I'm just saying that. Did he end up pulling him in?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
But yeah I did. He's got a uh you know,
get him. I don't know, man, Like, we'll find out
during the football schedule when it comes out as Big
Mike sends that that weekend schedule out every uh every third,
that's true, that's.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Actually we'll find out for Big mic Yeah, I mean
did he do media while he was in the league. No,
he does speak very well. Yeah, I mean he speaks well.
He handles himself. He's like he's like a grown ass man, bro.
He's like the type of road that everybody will want,
you know, stuff.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
A lockers on us, you say, a bad hill stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I would never he went to my nephews.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
He went to my nephew's elementary school when they were
out in Thousand Oaks and super nice guy, but real intense.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, really you're looking.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Like a beer in the face or something like that.
I met him one time. I was like, you looked
at I should have and his chain was just as
intense as he was. You know, it's like, what's up
penn Hills? He looked at me. I don't even think
he knew who I was.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, so I'm just kidding. No, I don't. I don't
think you know. I wasn't joking. I don't think he
knew who I was. Wouldn't he? I don't know. Look
for sure, it depends. I just hit him with a
quick what's up? Though, Like what's up Penhills? Pen Hills
is to do?
Speaker 6 (31:46):
So?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
What up?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Penhills is sixteen miles from North Hills? Like, what are
we talking about here? Penhills is only sixteen miles.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
My family, my whole family lives in that area. Weird,
the only ones that lived in North Hills, which is
ross township. We moved out. We were like the Jefferson's.
My dad got that check and we was out. We
rolled out, got a house. He bought that bitch. You
(32:16):
don't have to dump that back.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I have noticed a trend though, what's the trend? JJ
Watt took over for Tony Romo, Aaron Donald's lining up immediately.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Aaron Donald has the type of vocabulary range and.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Mike Tomlin's taken overs are starting to take over.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, not just defenders.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Hell yeah, hey man, I just would need to see
Aaron Donald show us some some real personality, and I
bet you he has it. I'm sure he has it
because because J. J. Watt shows a ton of personality,
you know, he's almost like actor like now, like he
almost seems like like, wait, wait, you think he's faking it. No,
(33:02):
I don't think he's faking it. He just has actors
he did on Hard Knocks. He has like that actors
aura no easy now god like the way, the way
he kind of like, you know, yeah, yeah, it's kind
of he's got it down. He's got it down. I
ain't gonna lot to you. He got it down.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Got a kind of a presidential vibe to him, a
politician to.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Him, it's it's it's more real than politician. It's more
real than politician. But it's along the lines of I
could see him being in a movie. I could see
him like almost like a rock.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
I see, that's why Tony Romo is more relatable, you know, like, uh,
jj Watt would never get pulled.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Maybe you're prepared, maybe you're not, like, but jj Watt
would never get wrong.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
He would never get pulled over and use the dead
grandparents alibi. He'd never have a road soda in the car,
he'd never need to do strong.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
I mean that is some normal dude type stuff though, man,
normal guy man of the people, because you know, the
extra dudes they had, the security wouldow they have security detailed.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Finally, they have a little car caravan of all.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
The things that Pete Prisco is willing to go out
on a limb on the Tony Romo stuff he wanted
no part of, Like he'll if anybody's career in half,
doesn't matter who it is, anybody can get it, except
the Tony Romo stuff.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
I can tell you why that was so oh trouble
for saying this.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Okay, when he first got there, there was essentially word
that like we if you worked at CBS, all needed
to be super excited about the signing, Like everyone needed
to be like real excited and real you know, and
especially when he signed a long term deal. So it
(34:53):
was I don't want to say, like a corporate mandate,
but there was definitely a message sent down where you
were not to say anything.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Critical, whether you like this call or not, or make
fun of you know whatever.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Jim like, it was that serious. I swear to you
like I was why. I don't know, but I just
remember being at a Super Bowl event and we were
there with a bunch of sponsors and I was there
with another gentleman who I'm not going to say who,
(35:25):
and this this gentleman he looked at me and we
and we obviously were pretty close, and he looked at
me and he was like, dude, and I was.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Like, I know.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
I was like, I feel like you're handcuffed right now,
you know, because people are gonna ask you what your
honest opinion is and you're gonna have to lie to them.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
And so I think I ended up.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
Pulling a fallacy and pleated the fifth like we because
we of course ended up getting pulled up and we
had to like basic answer a bunch of questions talk
about that Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
And I think someone had asked, oh, what you you know,
what do you think of this?
Speaker 8 (35:52):
I was like, yeah, you know, it's like everyone's got
their own unique sound and just how they go about
portraying the game. And I said, that sound is just
you know, it's you know, everyone's different, you know, And
I just kind of went on this long. It just
it was it was like one of those answers you
give if you're a coach and you're being asked something
by the media that you don't want to answer, so
(36:13):
you talk so long, like you fill a buster, and
then they're.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Like, what did I ask him in the first place?
Speaker 5 (36:18):
I basically did that, and uh, it was like and
I just started dying laughing, looking at my buddy next
to me, and then he kind of gave a little
more PC answer and we just moved on. But they're
telling you there everyone was scared out of their mind
of anyone from CBS coming down on them. And I'm
I promise you they've been told this is a sensitive
(36:40):
subject talk about it.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
So Frisco's got trauma from the initial request.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Hey, you know what else is sensitive? Talking about a
pickup truck that doesn't pick up. Well, we don't have
that problem because we're talking about the Nissan Frontier. That's right,
it's built for the work week and ready to load
up the tailgate on the weekends. That's the twenty twenty
six Nissan Frontier.

The guys are here to bring you.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
In case you missed.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
It, Guys, in case you missed this, We've got a
change of plans.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
And horse racing.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
The Preakness is going to be moving back a week
in twenty twenty seven and will be held on a Sunday.
So the race was normally two weeks after the Kentucky Derby,
and now they're moving it three weeks after the Kentucky Derby,
and they're moving it to a Sunday instead of a saturdiness.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Do it damn right? Yes, now, this is a big win.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
If you're like me and your anti load management, I'm
tired of these I'm tired of these morons using load
management to not race in the next race because they
need more time off. Enough's enough. You're not that smart. Okay,
You're right around in a circle with a stuffed animal
on your back, and you think, all of a sudden
you got things figured out. Kiss my ass. The horse racing.
(39:01):
God stepped in and said, no, no, no, no, no more
of this. If you break your leg, tough balls. You're
getting out there and you're racing for a triple crown.
I salute horse.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Later with a broken leg. Damn right, Okay, yeah, damn right.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Here's what I'd say about this is it's awesome for
the sport. It's awesome for us as viewers. I think
Sunday or Garner more attention to it too. Saturday sometimes
gets lost and you know, everything else going on in
your livelihood. But the person who can speak on this
the best, it's probably LeVar because very similar to those
horses when they win orhere they're competing in between those races.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
They get there's a lot of action getting it in.
Speaker 5 (39:41):
Could tell you, LeVar could tell you how long it
takes them to get his legs underneath them.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Hey, let me tell you something. I was at the
Preakness one the one year one time, yea, and them
dudes was out there and they knew what.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Time it was. They was walking around looking.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
At all the bulls, yeah, all the other horses, like
this is the pastor right here that y'all need again.
And I mean they was walking around slanging, clanking and banking.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I was like God, I was like I was I
was like, am I staring at them?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Like?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
What am I staring at these for? I felt guilty.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, they ain't playing around now, the ones that really
really get it in and then they real athletes, and
then they're gonna, you know, make one that's gonna be
war emblem or or you know, big brown. They they
walk around feeling good. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you, Freddy
fat Legs. That was the name of Brady source, Is
that right, Freddy five legs, Yeah, buddy.
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Not the name of it.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Ever, he bought one.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
He bought one from Mexico called Sinko de Thaio not not.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
You didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
Didn't think that would a maxim
