Speaker 3 (01:57):
Be Happy Sat Patti's Day. Everyone out there, hope you
can make it into work like I did. And no, no,
I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean it
that way. I mean I meant it because I had
a late day. I grilled out yesterday, had a great time.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
What you grilled brouh uh?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You know, we market house meets is a part of
our shows now. And they sent some meats for me,
cooked them yesterday. I still have a tomahawk left. I
saved that one. But I cooked a strip yesterday. Uh,
some pork chops, and they sent the lobster tail, and
(02:39):
that bad boy was ginormous. It was really good. So
it was good man. I enjoyed it. We hot tubbed
it up. I sent the twins back to State College.
So it was just you know, Penn and Trish and myself. Mister,
I'm paranoid of skunk now like and and they are
(03:02):
clearly waging war on our neighborhood because I SMELLT when
I went out this morning. Somebody else was victimized last night.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh it's probably the same one. It's like the uh Bro,
the Richard Ramirez. I've started from home to home. I've
started carrying my burner.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
When I go outside, I have my burner next to
me in the hot tub, and when I when I
come to work, I have my burner with me. If
I see him, if I see him moving, if I
see him on the stroll, I'm gonna pop them.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I am.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I'm gonna pop him I'm gonna pop them. I got vendetta.
I got vendetta, and I ain't trying to throw a
rock at it or anything like that. If he's anywhere
near me, I'm a busted cap in his ass. It's
a rap, it's a rat.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, but will I kill it though?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Uh, it's less lethal, it's less lethal. Well, and have
been around spraying.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Well, look that I do imagine it exploding to be honest, like.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
No, no, I won't. It won't.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It'll do the same type of damage. You know, you
might break the skin.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Just so we're not taking any chances based on him.
You know, I'm going to shoot more than once. We'll
shoot more than once, and then I would just recommend
maybe lighting it on fire afterwards. Oh no, I ain't
take your match too. I ain't going to burn it up,
but I'm a burner it up, getting down there with
a big lighter. We got him, daddy, hold on, can't
(04:35):
take any chances.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Hey man, smelling skunk hits you differently after you've been sprayed. Bro,
That's all I'm gonna tell you. Yeah, well, it's a
little traumatic.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So Brady Quinn was scheduled to be with us here
obviously it's to Saint Patti's Day. And uh he's an irishman. Yes,
he was always old. Real travel issues. I spoke to
him yesterday. He was uh making the commute from one
airport to another to try and catch a flight to
get out of town because it was a disaster in
(05:06):
Florida and so he is unable to do the show
here today. He may call in at some point. We'll
get the update from from Brady, but or.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
From Lee, which one, because if it's from Lee, that
is a is a guaranteed. Locke, We'll talk to Brady tomorrow.
If it's from Brady, then there's a chance there's a
small there's a slightly more chance we may hear from you.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But just take the day. I mean, we got you know,
if you can, if you can call in, you can
call in if you is what it is. Uh now
I'm not crazy going on in sports. Yeah, we got
the we got the tournament. We'll have details on the
Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge, by the way, that'll come
up here shortly. Uh so anybody out there can get
(05:52):
that work this year, I will win. Uh just did
that beat you last year? You know, I don't even
like want so I was eliminated from the competition. I
think the tournament just didn't matter at that point. You mean,
like the total competition. Yeah, because I don't. I don't
think I was in it to win it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think Plexico or TJ were from the other show,
you know, were a little bit ahead of me. But
I think on this show I was ahead of you
and Brady.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
From what other show? What you mean you said, Oh,
you know, I.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Give you great plugs too, by the way, not familiar
with that. You know, we never give plugs to the
next show ever, We just leave out of this show.
You know what I do on Saturdays, unlike you, as
the driver of this show. When I'm driving the show,
I make sure to one remind them that you're coming
up after our show, at midpoint of the show, and
(06:50):
then at the end of the show, I make sure
they know that while you may want to, you know,
tune out and go do something else with yourself, now
that our show is concluding, you should stick around and
see if you like the guy that's coming on next.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You should see if you like his show. But yeah,
that's that's standard operating procedures. But we don't you don't
ever do that. We don't never do that on this show.
You always plug the main event. Like for people that
aren't familiar with this, you always plug the main event.
So you go, DP isn't the main event to our show.
So when you guys are on our you know, fighting
in front of the people that are just showing up
to the to the fights early, like the prelimit, they're like, god, Dan, like,
(07:32):
let's get to the main hang. I can leave now.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
That got to be reminded, like, oh there's another tho
after that that kicks off at two East show.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It was kind of like when them girls fought before
Tyson and uh, what's his name? Are you trying to
say that I'm the Mike Tyson's ass?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes, yes, that that that would be what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Really until time, okay, and listen, Dan Patrick, you know
there are you know, you never give a lead into Dan.
I always ever take us to the always give a
plug in a tease to the next show on Saturdays.
Oh on Saturday. But for Dan, there are certain affiliates
that may not be carrying Dan Patrick and so not
quite sure.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Oh so now you're trying to say that you have
more affiliates than then, so you don't so you don't
get into saying Dan Patrick is up next. It's just
like I don't give anything because most of y'all listening
to us won't hear Dan Patrick because you only syndicate
our show because which is a slight that's a humble flex.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But no, it's we're just promoting the podcast and letting
people know. But it doesn't the podcast doesn't. That exists
on Saturday too, though, yeah, you can do that on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Also because everybody who listens to up on Game isn't
listening to Jonas Knox right.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, no, that would be more people listen to that
show afterwards. But again, I mean, you know, we're just
splitting it.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I mean, up Boy Game is a show on the weekend.
It's like the only show on the weekend. The rest
of it is Fox Sports Weekend with with titles connected
to all due respect the jks, some would say MS.
Curry is the you know, the second best show on
the weekends as we check out Alex Curz.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So you so we're gonna now I'm getting skipped to
go to Alex Curry and Karma Batality.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I'm not saying you get skips messed up. Man, I'm
just saying, you have a dope ass show, then you
get a filler, then you get a filler dah, and
then you get another dope show. Damn Well, Saturday's fellas,
That's that's Saturdays people.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I do know this that we can argue about shows.
You can also argue about which team should have gotten
in that didn't get in North Carolina, which got in
that people weren't thrilled with. And I just look at
the whole thing and go, dude, who cares. Like there's
sixty plus teams in the tournament if we're gonna argue
(10:00):
about one team here and another team there, like we're
just gonna this isn't the college football playoff where you've
got twelve teams or before you had four, And it's like,
let's really argue about this exclusive class. There's sixty something
teams in the tournament each year. So like people that
sit here and argue and bitch about, well, so and
(10:21):
so got in and this team deserved dude, don't worry.
We're gonna have plenty of time for it to get
figured out. If North Carolina was rightfully put in and
North Carolina got in, and people could say, well, it's
because the name whatever. Then they're gonna get to play
it out and then we'll figure out whether or not
in North Carolina after the fact deserve to get in.
But ultimately they're probably not winning a national title. And
(10:43):
whatever happens in the run up to the final four,
people just get caught up in this drama and they
want to argue about this craft. Can't you just enjoy
the tournament, enjoy the brackets, especially when you know you're
going to get your ass fed to you by me
this year in the brackets.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yo?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Oh wow, how's that feel? I love Robert Morris's in
shouts out to the hometown. Good luck to you guys.
Hopefully they make a little bit of noise. I believe
they're the Colonials. Are they the Colonial Robert Morris? Yeah,
I thought it was a law for them. It sounds
like that, right. That's not what they are though they
(11:19):
played sports at Robert Morris.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, they played basketball, that's for sure. Do that, Romo.
Their their mascot is the Yeah, the Colonials. Yeah, I
remember it. I'm a little rusty on some of my stuff,
but I got that one. Yeah, shouts out to Robert Morris. Yeah,
they played some basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Look, it's a good time. It's a fun time of year,
and people just want to find something to bitch about
and complain. I'm not going to complain. North Carolina got in.
And if you don't think name value adds a little
bit to it, of course does. North Carolina's got a
huge fan base, They've got a national following. Yeah, there
there's business. There's a business side to this whole thing.
(12:02):
I don't have an issue with it whatsoever. So people
can cry and.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Complain, and that's how it's always been though, Right, the
blue bloods are going to always get the benefit of
the doubt, and the Cinderella teams are is it sad
to say they're a dime a dozen, but the Cinderella
teams are a dime a dozen and they can change
from year to year. So it's just kind of it's
(12:26):
the nature of the beasts. I think when you get
to this time of the year. Obviously, sports fanatics and
sports fans they're really into it, probably at a different level,
in a different capacity than most others. So they tend
to get irritated or bothered if somebody hasn't put in
(12:46):
the type of work to know how good a Robert
Morris is going into it, or a VCU going into it,
or you know a UNC Greensboro who obviously is a
sixth ranked on in the bracket. But you know, it's
I think, I think for what it's worth, if people
(13:07):
are getting irritated about you know, who got in and
who didn't get you know, get in, it just serves
the purpose to have the conversation. Really, I mean, what
other purpose does it truly serve to be outraged about
what team didn't get into? Like you mentioned a sixty
team brackets Like, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Like, well, I'm outraged? Why you outrage because so and
so was one of my last four to get in
of sixty eight teams? Like what what are we talking
about here? North Carolina got in it. It is what
it is, dude, That's what it is. They just fill
out your bracket and shut up. That's it. Let's just
play the bracket challenge and if you want to do that,

yours here from the tire rack dot Com Studios. Coming
up next here though, apparently we're all just kind of
sitting around all just kind of waiting around. But somebody
(15:18):
has a preference in the National Football League and we've
got the details for you right here on FSR.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
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 1 (15:38):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up in
about twenty minutes from now here from the tire rack
dot Com Studios. We are going to find out what
the Goat is up to. It has been a resurgence
for somebody in the world of football. We'll have the
details on that for you again a little over twenty
minutes from now here on FSR. So there is this
(16:05):
game that's going on, and it's the waiting on Aaron
Rodgers game. Now, some people have speculated well, as Rogers
has taken his time, is he just trying to try
and figure out whether he wants to play, etc. Etc.
Apparently Rogers has a preference, according to The Athletic, that
(16:28):
would be Mike Silver, Diana Rassini, and Alec Lewis. Rogers
is hoping to sign with the Minnesota Vikings and is
seeking an annual salary in the range of Sam Darnold's,
and that the Vikings are strongly weighing the possibility of Rogers.
They also note that if Minnesota turns down Rogers, there's
a possibility that Rogers could retire as opposed to play
(16:49):
for either the Giants or the Steelers. But it does
appear that maybe this waiting is Rogers waiting to figure
out if Minnesota is all in on potentially bringing him
in to be the quote unquote mentor but starter in
Minnesota obviously with JJ McCarthy there, and that's where we're
at when it comes to Aaron Rodgers, whether or not
(17:10):
this deal is going to get done and he's going
to be playing in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
This upping now you're saying that's coming from a media source,
it's not the Athletic. So here's my thing, right, how
often has the athletic reported things prior to it coming
out with Aaron Rodgers is what my first curiosity of
it would be.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So Mike Silver and Aaron Rodgers know each other. There's
a connection there because I think Mike Silver went to
cal and Rogers and him know each other from that.
So that's why people look at this report and go, well,
there's validity. Yeah, there might be something there to it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'm not gonna I'll say this even if there is,
I'm going to say I look at this from a
loosely absorbed and consumed perspective. I'm not going to go
overboard and say this makes you know or this is
the validity of it is there, This is what it
(18:12):
sounds like it should be, and that's what it's going
to be. I don't think that it's a good play
to put it out there this way, even if this
is what your end goal is, what you want your
end result to be. I do not think that at
this moment in time, that is the best decision to make,
(18:34):
especially knowing that this has been a conversation that has
kind of lingered on because we continue to talk about
in the media how every other quarterback that could be
available are kind of in a holding pattern until the
air quotes Aaron Rodgers' domino falls. So I don't think
(18:55):
that this is even necessary, Like, why is this even
necessary to report and put out there? Now, If you're
putting it out there because that's that's what you think
you got to beat on, that's fine because media does media.
But if I'm Aaron Rodgers and this is Aaron Rodgers team, sure,
sure you could have that one person that's the person
(19:17):
to the next person to the next person that's far
enough away from Aaron Rodgers where you have plausible deniability
to what it is that's been said, and and so
you put that out there just as a feeler, because
that's just kind of what's done in these types of situations.
But you know, Jonas, I don't think that it's a
horrible thing. Again, and I've been ringing the bell, and
(19:39):
I'm not really big on, you know, saying, you know,
somebody fits in Pittsburgh at that position in particular, But
I do think that Pittsburgh should be looked at as
as a valid, valid spot to end up. I know
some people are are, you know, beginning to come out
and kind of debate again that I don't. I don't
(20:02):
tend to look at it and feel as though if
you're looking at at Minnesota, Minnesota had a very good year,
they had a very good year.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
They lose their.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Quarterback, Sam Darnold has a year that rejuvenates and revitalizes
his career, it pays dividends for him, he goes to
a different team, and so now they're back to what
do they have with JJ McCarthy. But if I'm the
Minnesota Vikings, I want to see what I have with JJ.
(20:33):
I want to see what I have with McCarthy, and
and I want to see if if he can come
in and be that player that we need him to be,
void of paying a starting fee to another player. Like
you could say, Okay, Minnesota's kicking it around and that's fine.
(20:55):
But be clear, in my estimation, if Aaron Rodgers, if
the report has accuracy to it, and Aaron Rodgers is
basically saying it's Minnesota or bust, I don't you're closer
to retirement than you are to playing ball, because you're
(21:19):
basically saying, if I can't get this one team, if
I can't get to this one team, I'm done, And
my estimation of that would be even if I'm that
one team, I still got to take it into consideration
that if those reports are true, this man is basically saying,
if I can't get on this team, I'm going to retire.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, I mean I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I don't want that to be the conversation of somebody
that I'm going to pay Sam Sam Darnold contract to.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Like, the going to Minnesota makes all the sense in
the world for Rogers, and we laid this out last
week first of all of all those teams, like that's
the best roster as far as what to work with
on offense. Sure, absolutely. And Kevin O'Connell and the you know,
the respect he has around the league. Is a play
caller and a coach, defending Coach of the Year, reigning
(22:09):
Coach of the Year, makes all the sense of the world.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Aaron Rodgers, that makes sense. But do you make that
type of declaration? But does it make sense for Minnesota?
And I just wonder if the Vikings are looking at
this and maybe there's a thought that like, yeah, well,
you know, if we bring him in for a year
and it goes well, then we find ourselves in the
(22:33):
same spot we were in this past year, where at
some point you got to see what you got in
JJ McCarthy. And there was speculation up until the final
couple of games of the regular or final couple of
games of the year for the Vikings, the finale and
then the playoff game that hey, maybe maybe we'll just
keep Sam Darnold. And so I just wonder if the
(22:54):
Vikings look at this and go, at some point, we've
got to find out what we've gotten the guy that
we drafted as we did a quarterback and so or not.
But here's the thing, right if it's a or not,
if it's not find out what we're going to do
with JJ McCarthy, then why do you not just keep
Sam Donald?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Why do you not just keep Sam Donald?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
If it's if it's really about, okay, we're going to
kick the tires on bringing in bringing in Aaron Rodgers,
and Aaron Rodgers is saying this is the amount of
money he wants. It's kind of like two things you
don't say if you're where Aaron Rodgers is at this
point in his career. One retirement, You don't want to
(23:41):
hear retirement in the conversation more often than not, a
guy who's throwing out retirement is already close to retirement,
like they're one foot in, they're one foot out.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You can't you can't have, you can't.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Be I'm almost to retiring and you're heading out to
the battlefield like you got to be all in and
and so to me, it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
With with with football. You got to be all in.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
So if you start throwing out retirement, then now you're
you've already sent out like an SOS signal that you know,
this could this could go wrong. You know, guys who
are closer to retirement they handle things a little differently.
You don't have the type of you know, let's just
say this type of influence or control in those situations.
(24:33):
So that's one and then two. If you're saying, hey,
I want to come in, and that's being reported, I
want to come in, but I want you all to
pay me the same amount of money is is Darnald,
you're basically saying, Okay, I'm Aaron Rodgers, I'm better than
than Darnald, and but I'll do this.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I'll play for you.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
At the same price that that's that dark just got
going to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I just don't. I don't feel as though.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I don't feel as though if I'm Minnesota, it's like,
do I take a chance on a guy that has
struggled the last couple of years. I mean, we can
debate his stats at the end of last year or
this past year. Oh, he didn't do too bad, da
da da they stink. The New York Jets stink. This
year they sucked. So if you want to, if you
(25:28):
want to look at his stat line and make yourself
feel better to try and justify the move, then you
go right ahead. But you're not paying attention to what
the total sum of what their season looked like. And
he played a major part in that period. So I'm
not going after Aaron Rodgers to pay him the same
(25:49):
amount that we could have paid to keep Sam Darnold
after having the type of season that we add doesn't
make sense. That doesn't make sense, doesn't add up. So
if that is indeed the situation, I would be more
willing to lean towards the side of it doesn't seem
likely that Minnesota signs him. If that's the number, if
that's the going rate for them to bring Aaron Rodgers in,
(26:12):
you just let Sam Donald go and there had to
be a strong reason why you let him go, and
that strong reason is not to bring in Aaron Rodgers
for the same amount of money that you would have
been paying Sam Donald.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, I'm I'm you know, I don't know that I
would bet money on Rogers going to Minnesota. I would
love for it to happen. I think it'd be fascinating
just to see how it worked and out played out,
because I would like to see him get an opportunity
to close his career in an organization that's not a
clown show, like like, I would like to see that.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
But he turned the organization that is in the clown
show into a clown act.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Damn. I mean, let's just be clear. That's that circus
tent was up a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Okay, man, they had moments, Brett Favre had created the
carousel act. But yeah, but be clear, like the Packers
organization has done things the right way for a really
long time. I would argue that that was a clown show.
The Big Top is all based around the popularity of
(27:18):
how good their quarterbacks have been playing in Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Look at anything else, what else plays out in Green
Bay what else. In fact, they were so good such
a model a model franchise that Reggie White made it
a thing as a free agent to actually consider going
to Green Bay, and then it turns into like this thing.
Then Charles Woodson goes to Green Bay. I mean, it's
(27:45):
a good organization. I've interviewed with Green Bay. I told
you I saw picket, you know, dang there butt naked
with five.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Trades of food. See, Reggie White did have some great
momentum going with free agents picking Green Bay. And then
you got there and decided you were above it.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And well, I just didn't see very much there. I
just went there and I just didn't see very much there,
Like like there was a casino. I was in the
casino and that was not very much there casino, and
it just wasn't just it just wasn't very much there.
And I thought about going there, and then I thought
about the cold. I thought about there not being very
(28:23):
much there, and it was like New York cold, a
whole lot there, you know. I just I chose the market.
I chose the media market over probably over. I mean,
both of them won a Super Bowl within the time
period I would have been on the team one, one two.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You know, so I think that you might have brought
this up or touchdown it last week. But one of
the thoughts on why he may not want to choose
the Vikings Rogers that is, is because he doesn't want
to create an issue with the fan base and the
people in Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
It's something to think about, okay, but like, would they
really care? It's something to think about, that's all. I'll say.
They've got their quarterback of the future. It's been a
couple of years. So he goes in place for the Vikings.
I just I don't know that that would piss Packers
fans off that much if Rogers decided, Hey, I just
(29:21):
you know, I'm gonna go back and play for the
Vikings again. You know, understanding the traits of your fan
base is, in my estimation, a true asset to what
you bring to the table. It's a value to what
you bring to the table. Understanding the market that you're in,
(29:42):
understanding what makes them go. It's just it's an asset.
And so to me, when you leave a team, if
you've had the type of career that Aaron Rodgers has had,
you think about you still continue to think about your fans,
(30:02):
which is interesting because people will sit there and say, well,
you went to a divisional opponent. I hated Dan Snyder, geez,
and I did not have a Hall of Fame career,
an undeniable Hall of Fame career in Washington. I was
not of the level of Aaron Rodgers when I left
town to go to a different team. So when I
(30:24):
had the opportunity to go to a team that would
play against my former team twice, I wanted to stick
it to Dan Snyder, not to the fans, But it
still was received. You know, as I was disgruntled FM,
people were burning my jersey Da DA DASA on and
so forth. If I'm of the level and the stature
(30:44):
of Aaron Rodgers, I don't know how volatile, you know,
the Green Bay fan base can get or be towards
former players. You know, obviously Brett Favre broke the ice
on that by going to Minnesota and play from Minnesota
at one point in his life. But I don't know
if if Brett Farv is as beloved he could have
(31:10):
been more. I would assume he could have been more
beloved had he handled the situation a little differently.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
You go to the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
You go to a different team, it's a difference conference whatever.
Like I think fans tend to look at it and
it's like, it's okay, you go to a direct competitor
where you know this is the team that you're talking about.
You know, Aaron Rodgers pulled out the discount double check
belt and was like, I own y'all, you know what
(31:40):
I mean. That's how big the rivalry is between Minnesota
and Green Bay. Maybe not as big as the Beers
in Green Bay, but obviously Minnesota is more competitive right
through here than the Beers are. So I just think
that it could be an overstated deal to think that
the fans play a super major part in the legacy
(32:03):
play of it for Aaron Rodgers. But it is, however,
something to think about when making your decision.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You're a Packers fan. If Rogers signed with Minnesota, world
to piss you off? No, not really, Like it just
feels like it's this one feels different than far for
some reason, Like, are are you asking the right Packers fan?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Well, it sounded it was really premeditated with Farv, Like
you knew he was going to the Jets to get
to the Vikings because they had the whole clause in
his trade says you can't trade him within the NFC North.
So he actually had to play out the contract with
New York. But you knew all along when he left
that he was gonna go to Minnesota to stick it
to Green Bay. Like it was pretty premeditated. This one
seems just more serendipitous.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Did that make you feel any type of way towards
Brett Farv.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
It made everyone feel a certain way. I was far
right or die, So I rode with him. I became
a Vikings fan for a season, which he's really Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
What kind of packers you? I was a far loyalist.
Isn't that what? But isn't that what fantasy football is
kind of doing to the fan? I feel like.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Fantasy football is taking fans away from being, uh, this
is my team.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
More so, I'd agree with that sentiment, but I wouldn't
say that for me specifically.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
But yeah, all right, Well I don't know that lead
to lap is the proper fan?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
How many leagues were you in last year? Uh? Four
or five? How many of them got paid? Uh? Three?
Everyone that you didn't hand I.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Didn't win the championship but I was in the finals.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
But you won because you kept the money I paid out.
When did that happens?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Three weeks? Yeah, it took a while. I paid out.
He's a fantasy football whore. Like one's not enough. He's
got to have more league.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Berdos forcing me into his baseball league tonight. I got
a draft tonight. Why, I don't know, because he I
don't know what.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
He has like twenty five players in this league. I
don't understand it.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
You know, I saw I saw that she was Steven
Belichick's thirty seven.
Speaker 1 (37:02):

and that's his youngest. No, he's got three.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
He's also got Brian and Amanda. I'm not sure the.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
So Steve's thirty seven though, Yeah, all right, Just to
put that into context, when Steve graduated high school, his
father's girlfriend was in kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
To put it in context, if he were to have
a child with this young lady, that child would be
what the uncle to which I'm sure his kids have kids.
I'm sure he's a granddad. His child would be the
uncle or aunt to somebody that's older than them. That's
(37:54):
old school. That's what you call old school. You hear
that from like country folks that I'm just sad. Damn,
I'm counting folks to be having they be having uncles
and aunts that are the same age as as their
their cousin or their nephew or their niece. I told
you I became an uncle two years old.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, but you were two years older than the kid.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
It's close, but and it's questionable at least you were
still older. Imagine if you were two years two years younger.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
My little brother's younger and was an uncle to my nephew. Yeah. Yeah,
that was always straighte. That was my favorite. We would
tell people in school. I'd be like, oh, that's my nephew,
and the teachers would look at me like no, you
mean like your cousin was like, no, my nephew, if
you well, you're not an uncle. That's not how No, No,
(38:48):
I'm an uncle. Trust me. I learned that I'm a.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Third grade uncle. Like what, yeah, I'm in kindergarten. There's
my nephew right there in preschool right there. You know
what better, Yeah, there's my nephew in the fifth grade
right there. Like nah, hey he must be confused. Hey, nephew,
can you get me an extra chocolate milk?
Speaker 1 (39:07):

Speaker 4 (39:43):
In case you missed this, Dendy Hamlin had a big
weekend out at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Maybe not
so much on the track. He was finished twenty fifth
on the track. But no, but get this. On Friday
night he won a jackpot at the slots for one
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean it
that way. I mean I meant it because I had
a late day. I grilled out yesterday, had a great time.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
What you grilled brouh uh?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You know, we market house meets is a part of
our shows now. And they sent some meats for me,
cooked them yesterday. I still have a tomahawk left. I
saved that one. But I cooked a strip yesterday. Uh,
some pork chops, and they sent the lobster tail, and
(02:39):
that bad boy was ginormous. It was really good. So
it was good man. I enjoyed it. We hot tubbed
it up. I sent the twins back to State College.
So it was just you know, Penn and Trish and myself. Mister,
I'm paranoid of skunk now like and and they are
(03:02):
clearly waging war on our neighborhood because I SMELLT when
I went out this morning. Somebody else was victimized last night.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh it's probably the same one. It's like the uh Bro,
the Richard Ramirez. I've started from home to home. I've
started carrying my burner.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
When I go outside, I have my burner next to
me in the hot tub, and when I when I
come to work, I have my burner with me. If
I see him, if I see him moving, if I
see him on the stroll, I'm gonna pop them.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I am.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I'm gonna pop him I'm gonna pop them. I got vendetta.
I got vendetta, and I ain't trying to throw a
rock at it or anything like that. If he's anywhere
near me, I'm a busted cap in his ass. It's
a rap, it's a rat.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, but will I kill it though?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Uh, it's less lethal, it's less lethal. Well, and have
been around spraying.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Well, look that I do imagine it exploding to be honest, like.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
No, no, I won't. It won't.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It'll do the same type of damage. You know, you
might break the skin.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Just so we're not taking any chances based on him.
You know, I'm going to shoot more than once. We'll
shoot more than once, and then I would just recommend
maybe lighting it on fire afterwards. Oh no, I ain't
take your match too. I ain't going to burn it up,
but I'm a burner it up, getting down there with
a big lighter. We got him, daddy, hold on, can't
(04:35):
take any chances.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Hey man, smelling skunk hits you differently after you've been sprayed. Bro,
That's all I'm gonna tell you. Yeah, well, it's a
little traumatic.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So Brady Quinn was scheduled to be with us here
obviously it's to Saint Patti's Day. And uh he's an irishman. Yes,
he was always old. Real travel issues. I spoke to
him yesterday. He was uh making the commute from one
airport to another to try and catch a flight to
get out of town because it was a disaster in
(05:06):
Florida and so he is unable to do the show
here today. He may call in at some point. We'll
get the update from from Brady, but or.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
From Lee, which one, because if it's from Lee, that
is a is a guaranteed. Locke, We'll talk to Brady tomorrow.
If it's from Brady, then there's a chance there's a
small there's a slightly more chance we may hear from you.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But just take the day. I mean, we got you know,
if you can, if you can call in, you can
call in if you is what it is. Uh now
I'm not crazy going on in sports. Yeah, we got
the we got the tournament. We'll have details on the
Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge, by the way, that'll come
up here shortly. Uh so anybody out there can get
(05:52):
that work this year, I will win. Uh just did
that beat you last year? You know, I don't even
like want so I was eliminated from the competition. I
think the tournament just didn't matter at that point. You mean,
like the total competition. Yeah, because I don't. I don't
think I was in it to win it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I think Plexico or TJ were from the other show,
you know, were a little bit ahead of me. But
I think on this show I was ahead of you
and Brady.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
From what other show? What you mean you said, Oh,
you know, I.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Give you great plugs too, by the way, not familiar
with that. You know, we never give plugs to the
next show ever, We just leave out of this show.
You know what I do on Saturdays, unlike you, as
the driver of this show. When I'm driving the show,
I make sure to one remind them that you're coming
up after our show, at midpoint of the show, and
(06:50):
then at the end of the show, I make sure
they know that while you may want to, you know,
tune out and go do something else with yourself, now
that our show is concluding, you should stick around and
see if you like the guy that's coming on next.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You should see if you like his show. But yeah,
that's that's standard operating procedures. But we don't you don't
ever do that. We don't never do that on this show.
You always plug the main event. Like for people that
aren't familiar with this, you always plug the main event.
So you go, DP isn't the main event to our show.
So when you guys are on our you know, fighting
in front of the people that are just showing up
to the to the fights early, like the prelimit, they're like, god, Dan, like,
(07:32):
let's get to the main hang. I can leave now.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
That got to be reminded, like, oh there's another tho
after that that kicks off at two East show.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
It was kind of like when them girls fought before
Tyson and uh, what's his name? Are you trying to
say that I'm the Mike Tyson's ass?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yes, yes, that that that would be what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Really until time, okay, and listen, Dan Patrick, you know
there are you know, you never give a lead into Dan.
I always ever take us to the always give a
plug in a tease to the next show on Saturdays.
Oh on Saturday. But for Dan, there are certain affiliates
that may not be carrying Dan Patrick and so not
quite sure.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Oh so now you're trying to say that you have
more affiliates than then, so you don't so you don't
get into saying Dan Patrick is up next. It's just
like I don't give anything because most of y'all listening
to us won't hear Dan Patrick because you only syndicate
our show because which is a slight that's a humble flex.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
But no, it's we're just promoting the podcast and letting
people know. But it doesn't the podcast doesn't. That exists
on Saturday too, though, yeah, you can do that on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Also because everybody who listens to up on Game isn't
listening to Jonas Knox right.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, no, that would be more people listen to that
show afterwards. But again, I mean, you know, we're just
splitting it.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I mean, up Boy Game is a show on the weekend.
It's like the only show on the weekend. The rest
of it is Fox Sports Weekend with with titles connected
to all due respect the jks, some would say MS.
Curry is the you know, the second best show on
the weekends as we check out Alex Curz.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So you so we're gonna now I'm getting skipped to
go to Alex Curry and Karma Batality.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I'm not saying you get skips messed up. Man, I'm
just saying, you have a dope ass show, then you
get a filler, then you get a filler dah, and
then you get another dope show. Damn Well, Saturday's fellas,
That's that's Saturdays people.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I do know this that we can argue about shows.
You can also argue about which team should have gotten
in that didn't get in North Carolina, which got in
that people weren't thrilled with. And I just look at
the whole thing and go, dude, who cares. Like there's
sixty plus teams in the tournament if we're gonna argue
(10:00):
about one team here and another team there, like we're
just gonna this isn't the college football playoff where you've
got twelve teams or before you had four, And it's like,
let's really argue about this exclusive class. There's sixty something
teams in the tournament each year. So like people that
sit here and argue and bitch about, well, so and
(10:21):
so got in and this team deserved dude, don't worry.
We're gonna have plenty of time for it to get
figured out. If North Carolina was rightfully put in and
North Carolina got in, and people could say, well, it's
because the name whatever. Then they're gonna get to play
it out and then we'll figure out whether or not
in North Carolina after the fact deserve to get in.
But ultimately they're probably not winning a national title. And
(10:43):
whatever happens in the run up to the final four,
people just get caught up in this drama and they
want to argue about this craft. Can't you just enjoy
the tournament, enjoy the brackets, especially when you know you're
going to get your ass fed to you by me
this year in the brackets.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yo?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Oh wow, how's that feel? I love Robert Morris's in
shouts out to the hometown. Good luck to you guys.
Hopefully they make a little bit of noise. I believe
they're the Colonials. Are they the Colonial Robert Morris? Yeah,
I thought it was a law for them. It sounds
like that, right. That's not what they are though they
(11:19):
played sports at Robert Morris.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, they played basketball, that's for sure. Do that, Romo.
Their their mascot is the Yeah, the Colonials. Yeah, I
remember it. I'm a little rusty on some of my stuff,
but I got that one. Yeah, shouts out to Robert Morris. Yeah,
they played some basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Look, it's a good time. It's a fun time of year,
and people just want to find something to bitch about
and complain. I'm not going to complain. North Carolina got in.
And if you don't think name value adds a little
bit to it, of course does. North Carolina's got a
huge fan base, They've got a national following. Yeah, there
there's business. There's a business side to this whole thing.
(12:02):
I don't have an issue with it whatsoever. So people
can cry and.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Complain, and that's how it's always been though, Right, the
blue bloods are going to always get the benefit of
the doubt, and the Cinderella teams are is it sad
to say they're a dime a dozen, but the Cinderella
teams are a dime a dozen and they can change
from year to year. So it's just kind of it's
(12:26):
the nature of the beasts. I think when you get
to this time of the year. Obviously, sports fanatics and
sports fans they're really into it, probably at a different level,
in a different capacity than most others. So they tend
to get irritated or bothered if somebody hasn't put in
(12:46):
the type of work to know how good a Robert
Morris is going into it, or a VCU going into it,
or you know a UNC Greensboro who obviously is a
sixth ranked on in the bracket. But you know, it's
I think, I think for what it's worth, if people
(13:07):
are getting irritated about you know, who got in and
who didn't get you know, get in, it just serves
the purpose to have the conversation. Really, I mean, what
other purpose does it truly serve to be outraged about
what team didn't get into? Like you mentioned a sixty
team brackets Like, dude.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Like, well, I'm outraged? Why you outrage because so and
so was one of my last four to get in
of sixty eight teams? Like what what are we talking

it is, dude, That's what it is. They just fill

sitting around all just kind of waiting around. But somebody
(15:18):
has a preference in the National Football League and we've
got the details for you right here on FSR.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
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 1 (15:38):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up in
about twenty minutes from now here from the tire rack
dot Com Studios. We are going to find out what
the Goat is up to. It has been a resurgence
for somebody in the world of football. We'll have the
details on that for you again a little over twenty
minutes from now here on FSR. So there is this
(16:05):
game that's going on, and it's the waiting on Aaron
Rodgers game. Now, some people have speculated well, as Rogers
has taken his time, is he just trying to try
and figure out whether he wants to play, etc. Etc.
Apparently Rogers has a preference, according to The Athletic, that
(16:28):
would be Mike Silver, Diana Rassini, and Alec Lewis. Rogers
is hoping to sign with the Minnesota Vikings and is
seeking an annual salary in the range of Sam Darnold's,
and that the Vikings are strongly weighing the possibility of Rogers.
They also note that if Minnesota turns down Rogers, there's
a possibility that Rogers could retire as opposed to play
(16:49):
for either the Giants or the Steelers. But it does
appear that maybe this waiting is Rogers waiting to figure
out if Minnesota is all in on potentially bringing him
in to be the quote unquote mentor but starter in
Minnesota obviously with JJ McCarthy there, and that's where we're
at when it comes to Aaron Rodgers, whether or not
(17:10):
this deal is going to get done and he's going
to be playing in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
This upping now you're saying that's coming from a media source,
it's not the Athletic. So here's my thing, right, how
often has the athletic reported things prior to it coming
out with Aaron Rodgers is what my first curiosity of
it would be.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
So Mike Silver and Aaron Rodgers know each other. There's
a connection there because I think Mike Silver went to
cal and Rogers and him know each other from that.
So that's why people look at this report and go, well,
there's validity. Yeah, there might be something there to it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'm not gonna I'll say this even if there is,
I'm going to say I look at this from a
loosely absorbed and consumed perspective. I'm not going to go
overboard and say this makes you know or this is
the validity of it is there, This is what it
(18:12):
sounds like it should be, and that's what it's going
to be. I don't think that it's a good play
to put it out there this way, even if this
is what your end goal is, what you want your
end result to be. I do not think that at
this moment in time, that is the best decision to make,
(18:34):
especially knowing that this has been a conversation that has
kind of lingered on because we continue to talk about
in the media how every other quarterback that could be
available are kind of in a holding pattern until the
air quotes Aaron Rodgers' domino falls. So I don't think
(18:55):
that this is even necessary, Like, why is this even
necessary to report and put out there? Now, If you're
putting it out there because that's that's what you think
you got to beat on, that's fine because media does media.
But if I'm Aaron Rodgers and this is Aaron Rodgers team, sure,
sure you could have that one person that's the person
(19:17):
to the next person to the next person that's far
enough away from Aaron Rodgers where you have plausible deniability
to what it is that's been said, and and so
you put that out there just as a feeler, because
that's just kind of what's done in these types of situations.
But you know, Jonas, I don't think that it's a
horrible thing. Again, and I've been ringing the bell, and
(19:39):
I'm not really big on, you know, saying, you know,
somebody fits in Pittsburgh at that position in particular, But
I do think that Pittsburgh should be looked at as
as a valid, valid spot to end up. I know
some people are are, you know, beginning to come out
and kind of debate again that I don't. I don't
(20:02):
tend to look at it and feel as though if
you're looking at at Minnesota, Minnesota had a very good year,
they had a very good year.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
They lose their.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Quarterback, Sam Darnold has a year that rejuvenates and revitalizes
his career, it pays dividends for him, he goes to
a different team, and so now they're back to what
do they have with JJ McCarthy. But if I'm the
Minnesota Vikings, I want to see what I have with JJ.
(20:33):
I want to see what I have with McCarthy, and
and I want to see if if he can come
in and be that player that we need him to be,
void of paying a starting fee to another player. Like
you could say, Okay, Minnesota's kicking it around and that's fine.
(20:55):
But be clear, in my estimation, if Aaron Rodgers, if
the report has accuracy to it, and Aaron Rodgers is
basically saying it's Minnesota or bust, I don't you're closer
to retirement than you are to playing ball, because you're
(21:19):
basically saying, if I can't get this one team, if
I can't get to this one team, I'm done, And
my estimation of that would be even if I'm that
one team, I still got to take it into consideration
that if those reports are true, this man is basically saying,
if I can't get on this team, I'm going to retire.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah, I mean I don't.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I don't want that to be the conversation of somebody
that I'm going to pay Sam Sam Darnold contract to.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Like, the going to Minnesota makes all the sense in
the world for Rogers, and we laid this out last
week first of all of all those teams, like that's
the best roster as far as what to work with
on offense. Sure, absolutely. And Kevin O'Connell and the you know,
the respect he has around the league. Is a play
caller and a coach, defending Coach of the Year, reigning
(22:09):
Coach of the Year, makes all the sense of the world.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Aaron Rodgers, that makes sense. But do you make that
type of declaration? But does it make sense for Minnesota?
And I just wonder if the Vikings are looking at
this and maybe there's a thought that like, yeah, well,
you know, if we bring him in for a year
and it goes well, then we find ourselves in the
(22:33):
same spot we were in this past year, where at
some point you got to see what you got in
JJ McCarthy. And there was speculation up until the final
couple of games of the regular or final couple of
games of the year for the Vikings, the finale and
then the playoff game that hey, maybe maybe we'll just
keep Sam Darnold. And so I just wonder if the
(22:54):
Vikings look at this and go, at some point, we've
got to find out what we've gotten the guy that
we drafted as we did a quarterback and so or not.
But here's the thing, right if it's a or not,
if it's not find out what we're going to do
with JJ McCarthy, then why do you not just keep
Sam Donald?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Why do you not just keep Sam Donald?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
If it's if it's really about, okay, we're going to
kick the tires on bringing in bringing in Aaron Rodgers,
and Aaron Rodgers is saying this is the amount of
money he wants. It's kind of like two things you
don't say if you're where Aaron Rodgers is at this
point in his career. One retirement, You don't want to
(23:41):
hear retirement in the conversation more often than not, a
guy who's throwing out retirement is already close to retirement,
like they're one foot in, they're one foot out.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You can't you can't have, you can't.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Be I'm almost to retiring and you're heading out to
the battlefield like you got to be all in and
and so to me, it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
With with with football. You got to be all in.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
So if you start throwing out retirement, then now you're
you've already sent out like an SOS signal that you know,
this could this could go wrong. You know, guys who
are closer to retirement they handle things a little differently.
You don't have the type of you know, let's just
say this type of influence or control in those situations.
(24:33):
So that's one and then two. If you're saying, hey,
I want to come in, and that's being reported, I
want to come in, but I want you all to
pay me the same amount of money is is Darnald,
you're basically saying, Okay, I'm Aaron Rodgers, I'm better than
than Darnald, and but I'll do this.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I'll play for you.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
At the same price that that's that dark just got
going to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I just don't. I don't feel as though.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I don't feel as though if I'm Minnesota, it's like,
do I take a chance on a guy that has
struggled the last couple of years. I mean, we can
debate his stats at the end of last year or
this past year. Oh, he didn't do too bad, da
da da they stink. The New York Jets stink. This
year they sucked. So if you want to, if you
(25:28):
want to look at his stat line and make yourself
feel better to try and justify the move, then you
go right ahead. But you're not paying attention to what
the total sum of what their season looked like. And
he played a major part in that period. So I'm
not going after Aaron Rodgers to pay him the same
(25:49):
amount that we could have paid to keep Sam Darnold
after having the type of season that we add doesn't
make sense. That doesn't make sense, doesn't add up. So
if that is indeed the situation, I would be more
willing to lean towards the side of it doesn't seem
likely that Minnesota signs him. If that's the number, if
that's the going rate for them to bring Aaron Rodgers in,
(26:12):
you just let Sam Donald go and there had to
be a strong reason why you let him go, and
that strong reason is not to bring in Aaron Rodgers
for the same amount of money that you would have
been paying Sam Donald.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, I'm I'm you know, I don't know that I
would bet money on Rogers going to Minnesota. I would
love for it to happen. I think it'd be fascinating
just to see how it worked and out played out,
because I would like to see him get an opportunity
to close his career in an organization that's not a
clown show, like like, I would like to see that.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
But he turned the organization that is in the clown
show into a clown act.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Damn. I mean, let's just be clear. That's that circus
tent was up a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Okay, man, they had moments, Brett Favre had created the
carousel act. But yeah, but be clear, like the Packers
organization has done things the right way for a really
long time. I would argue that that was a clown show.
The Big Top is all based around the popularity of
(27:18):
how good their quarterbacks have been playing in Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Look at anything else, what else plays out in Green
Bay what else. In fact, they were so good such
a model a model franchise that Reggie White made it
a thing as a free agent to actually consider going
to Green Bay, and then it turns into like this thing.
Then Charles Woodson goes to Green Bay. I mean, it's
(27:45):
a good organization. I've interviewed with Green Bay. I told
you I saw picket, you know, dang there butt naked
with five.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Trades of food. See, Reggie White did have some great
momentum going with free agents picking Green Bay. And then
you got there and decided you were above it.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And well, I just didn't see very much there. I
just went there and I just didn't see very much there,
Like like there was a casino. I was in the
casino and that was not very much there casino, and
it just wasn't just it just wasn't very much there.
And I thought about going there, and then I thought
about the cold. I thought about there not being very
(28:23):
much there, and it was like New York cold, a
whole lot there, you know. I just I chose the market.
I chose the media market over probably over. I mean,
both of them won a Super Bowl within the time
period I would have been on the team one, one two.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You know, so I think that you might have brought
this up or touchdown it last week. But one of
the thoughts on why he may not want to choose
the Vikings Rogers that is, is because he doesn't want
to create an issue with the fan base and the
people in Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
It's something to think about, okay, but like, would they
really care? It's something to think about, that's all. I'll say.
They've got their quarterback of the future. It's been a
couple of years. So he goes in place for the Vikings.
I just I don't know that that would piss Packers
fans off that much if Rogers decided, Hey, I just
(29:21):
you know, I'm gonna go back and play for the
Vikings again. You know, understanding the traits of your fan
base is, in my estimation, a true asset to what
you bring to the table. It's a value to what
you bring to the table. Understanding the market that you're in,
(29:42):
understanding what makes them go. It's just it's an asset.
And so to me, when you leave a team, if
you've had the type of career that Aaron Rodgers has had,
you think about you still continue to think about your fans,
(30:02):
which is interesting because people will sit there and say, well,
you went to a divisional opponent. I hated Dan Snyder, geez,
and I did not have a Hall of Fame career,
an undeniable Hall of Fame career in Washington. I was
not of the level of Aaron Rodgers when I left
town to go to a different team. So when I
(30:24):
had the opportunity to go to a team that would
play against my former team twice, I wanted to stick
it to Dan Snyder, not to the fans, But it
still was received. You know, as I was disgruntled FM,
people were burning my jersey Da DA DASA on and
so forth. If I'm of the level and the stature
(30:44):
of Aaron Rodgers, I don't know how volatile, you know,
the Green Bay fan base can get or be towards
former players. You know, obviously Brett Favre broke the ice
on that by going to Minnesota and play from Minnesota
at one point in his life. But I don't know
if if Brett Farv is as beloved he could have
(31:10):
been more. I would assume he could have been more
beloved had he handled the situation a little differently.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
You go to the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
You go to a different team, it's a difference conference whatever.
Like I think fans tend to look at it and
it's like, it's okay, you go to a direct competitor
where you know this is the team that you're talking about.
You know, Aaron Rodgers pulled out the discount double check
belt and was like, I own y'all, you know what
(31:40):
I mean. That's how big the rivalry is between Minnesota
and Green Bay. Maybe not as big as the Beers
in Green Bay, but obviously Minnesota is more competitive right
through here than the Beers are. So I just think
that it could be an overstated deal to think that
the fans play a super major part in the legacy
(32:03):
play of it for Aaron Rodgers. But it is, however,
something to think about when making your decision.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You're a Packers fan. If Rogers signed with Minnesota, world
to piss you off? No, not really, Like it just
feels like it's this one feels different than far for
some reason, Like, are are you asking the right Packers fan?
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Well, it sounded it was really premeditated with Farv, Like
you knew he was going to the Jets to get
to the Vikings because they had the whole clause in
his trade says you can't trade him within the NFC North.
So he actually had to play out the contract with
New York. But you knew all along when he left
that he was gonna go to Minnesota to stick it
to Green Bay. Like it was pretty premeditated. This one
seems just more serendipitous.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Did that make you feel any type of way towards
Brett Farv.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
It made everyone feel a certain way. I was far
right or die, So I rode with him. I became
a Vikings fan for a season, which he's really Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
What kind of packers you? I was a far loyalist.
Isn't that what? But isn't that what fantasy football is
kind of doing to the fan? I feel like.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Fantasy football is taking fans away from being, uh, this
is my team.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
More so, I'd agree with that sentiment, but I wouldn't
say that for me specifically.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
But yeah, all right, Well I don't know that lead
to lap is the proper fan?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
How many leagues were you in last year? Uh? Four
or five? How many of them got paid? Uh? Three?
Everyone that you didn't hand I.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Didn't win the championship but I was in the finals.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
But you won because you kept the money I paid out.
When did that happens?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Three weeks? Yeah, it took a while. I paid out.
He's a fantasy football whore. Like one's not enough. He's
got to have more league.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Berdos forcing me into his baseball league tonight. I got
a draft tonight. Why, I don't know, because he I
don't know what.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
He has like twenty five players in this league. I
don't understand it.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
You know, I saw I saw that she was Steven
Belichick's thirty seven.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
All right, is that all he's got so basically, so basically,
and that's his youngest. No, he's got three.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
He's also got Brian and Amanda. I'm not sure the.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
So Steve's thirty seven though, Yeah, all right, Just to
put that into context, when Steve graduated high school, his
father's girlfriend was in kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
To put it in context, if he were to have
a child with this young lady, that child would be
what the uncle to which I'm sure his kids have kids.
I'm sure he's a granddad. His child would be the
uncle or aunt to somebody that's older than them. That's
(37:54):
old school. That's what you call old school. You hear
that from like country folks that I'm just sad. Damn,
I'm counting folks to be having they be having uncles
and aunts that are the same age as as their
their cousin or their nephew or their niece. I told
you I became an uncle two years old.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, but you were two years older than the kid.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
It's close, but and it's questionable at least you were
still older. Imagine if you were two years two years younger.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
My little brother's younger and was an uncle to my nephew. Yeah. Yeah,
that was always straighte. That was my favorite. We would
tell people in school. I'd be like, oh, that's my nephew,
and the teachers would look at me like no, you
mean like your cousin was like, no, my nephew, if
you well, you're not an uncle. That's not how No, No,
(38:48):
I'm an uncle. Trust me. I learned that I'm a.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Third grade uncle. Like what, yeah, I'm in kindergarten. There's
my nephew right there in preschool right there. You know
what better, Yeah, there's my nephew in the fifth grade
right there. Like nah, hey he must be confused. Hey, nephew,
can you get me an extra chocolate milk?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
