at our over unders from last night because we've got
to get to this stuff here to find out how
(01:21):
we did as our first NFL game of the year
that we're doing over unders for so it's very important
to see how we are performing early in the season.
That's right, Yeah, this is important stuff. By the way,
on that shower story that you mentioned, where the showers
went out after the game, so according to Pro Football Talk,
they said the players were told Browns players were told
(01:43):
that the shower issue was related to the electrical issue
that took out the lighting. What am I missing here.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Is that Look, I'm not a plumber. I'm not gonna
act the guy got the expertise, But.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Plumbing an electrical seem like two different things to me.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Well, I think that's when you have two different contractors
come over. Otherwise you just have one like, hey, the
plumber slash electrician is here.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Like I have a buddy who's an electrician and he's
really good. I never once called him and said, hey,
my toilet's plugged up or the shower is not operating
like I've never playing.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Now, you see what his assessment of the situation just
feels like maybe it's a pump, Like maybe because the
electrical went out and the pump that maybe pushed the water,
you know, in the facility.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I thought that's called pressure and stuff. But again I
don't advertise on that.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I should.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
I would say, I would say, if you're running.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Off, dude, this is this isn't necessary. We need to
get an electrician or a plumber to call us right now.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
If you're listening, all right, screw it, let's do it.
Speaker 8 (02:53):
I know for certain, I know for certain if you
have whale water, you gotta have you at all with
that sense.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yet yet I don't think the Canns Stadium's on well
water bubble. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I was gonna say, like if they.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Were together, I'm just saying, I know there are instances
where you do have to have power to have water
generate well.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And water could create power hence hydro power.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah, it's true if it was pump operated and they
were playing this game outside some sort of an amish
tent or barn, I get it. But this is a
Hall of Fame game they're talking about. Oh, they've they've
built the place up. And by the way, it wasn't
even a sellout, not even close to a sellout, which
is surprising to me. I thought for sure people would
have shown.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Up for it, sure, the Browns fans, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah, apparently it was only eighty percent full, so there
was a lot of open seats there. So, But if
you are a plumber or an electrician or both apparently,
and you would like to chime in on whatever the
hell that was the explanation for why the electrical had
anything to do with the showers not operating afterwards. Eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the phone number.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm just glad we got to the story.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
You thought there's like three other stories that were better
than that one.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Well, because we wanted to make sure we had full
time for we want to shoehorn it in.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I mean, he didn't even know if we were going
to do it at all.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah, old fashioned term. We don't want to shoehorn that in,
you know what I mean? Eight seven seven nine six
six three shoes nine. Oh sorry, shout out to you
plumbers and electricians if we want to have both on
the line, and you guys want a debate about it.
That's fine too. We'll make that work here as we
break down the Hall of Fame game from last night.
Congratulations to the Cleveland Browns there. Yeah, big win, big win.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Big winers is more more entertaining.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Though, probably, I mean they do.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Probably.
Speaker 8 (04:42):
I'm more interested in hearing about this whole shower thing
than hearing about, you know, the highlights of.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
The Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I mean, I assume they just went back to their
hotel rooms.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
They said that they they ended up washing in cold tubs,
which is not the worst.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Thing in the world.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I mean, come on, man, you know, hey, hey, Bud,
let me tell you something. After one or two guys
gets in those cold tubs.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, what happens? Yeah, little little COVID soup you Yeah. So,
so we will get the answers to all of that
here on the show at some point. Now, Lee, do
we already have people calling it? Of course we do.
This is great, this, This is just tremendous stuff here
(05:28):
people calling it around the country. We are going to
also look back at our over unders from last night
as well too.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Heya, we would look back at our over unders from
last week.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Definitely are well, it's it's he's doing multiple jobs here,
he's answering phones, he's putting together over unders, lots going
on here, a lot behind the scenes. I got it
all covered, all right, So Lee, do we have somebody
that you trust on the line that can make make
the decision here?
Speaker 9 (05:51):
Trust is a hard word, but I do have a
couple of electricians that can speak on this.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
All right? Nice, go ahead, pick who do you prefer
lye who sounds better, who sounds maybe not quite sober
because that's usually more entertaining.
Speaker 10 (06:04):
Let's go with Mikey in Vermont's.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
All right, Mikey, you were on Fox Sports Radio. Now
you are an electrician. Now we need qualifications here. How
long have you been in the field for? How long
have you been doing this? For good talk?
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Mikey?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
No, Mikey, Apparently Mikey's electrical kicked out the Wi Fi.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
That's true, is electricity did go out, so not the
electrician we want.
Speaker 10 (06:27):
Let's go and San Antonio Keith's and.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
San Antonio Keith.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
What's happening, Maria Hi Keith?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Talk to us.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Keith.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
How is it possible that the showers not operating would
have anything to do with the electrical going out at
the game last night.
Speaker 11 (06:45):
Well basically, well basically anything.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Right on?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Still two pros.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
What's your name?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
By the way, we're doing the show live from Canton, Ohio.
Apparently all right, go ahead.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
It's sweet. Are you still talking about Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'm still talking to you, Keith. We got a smooth
operation here, this.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
Key all right. So basically anytime with water in general,
it's all driven by pump electricity. A lot of things
in this world are driven by electricity, and it's pretty
much what y'all were saying. You need electrical pumps to
push the water topply pressure. It's not an uncommon thing
(07:29):
for go out or something of that nature that you
just don't have a water pressure, so no water is
going to come out of the pup.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
How about that? Hey, Keith, We appreciate it. Man, you're
probably driving into work. Have a good day work. Thanks
for your time.
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Hey up.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah that's Keith, Yeah, okay, nice? Yeah, all right, Keith.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
They appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Man is all right. How about LeVar Arrington, mister knew
that it was pump operated. Pump operated, Yeah, there it is, and.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
It's all pressure.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I mean, he's got such experience pumping.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
When I was trying to figure out how to say,
certainly was trying to figure out how I mean, you're.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
You're you're experiencing pumping. You know, it's just yet.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
To man, you know, and when you have power outages.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
That's why they say, you know, if you're if you're
doing one, don't flush.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
If you're doing two, then you gotta go. You know,
it's got to.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
Go down because once once it goes down, once you
flush it and you don't have that that amount of water.
The only way you can flush a toilet is if
you find a way to put water into the well. Yeah,
put water in the top right, yeah, yeah, to be
able to flush it.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
So they call it upper deck or is that something different?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That's when you actually go number two in the top?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Ah, I got you.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Also a great party trick if you don't like the
person's house you're at kids.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
Yeah, that is horrible. It is I've never heard of
that life until now it just did. That's called a
nupper decker.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And then there's also the drunkal ski and that as well.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Yeah, that is when you've had one too many drinks
and if you need to no, no, you turn around.
So instead of like you know how you normally turn
around sit down, you just sit down facing the top portion.
You use it as a shelf, and so you can
do everything you need to do and if you pass out,
(09:27):
you pass.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Out, you know, juste.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
Toilet.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
But that means you have to take your your bottoms off,
like at least.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Off all the way.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
You're you're porky pigging it. You're naked from the waist down.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, that toilet is a rodeo bowl at that point,
and you just you just let it figure itself out there.
It's a little aggressive, I'm just saying it is.
Speaker 8 (09:54):
But you know, so there's no there's no terminology for
vomiting in the upper deck.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Uh No, you just go on the bottom portion.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Yeah, I mean, but what if you're what if you're
doing what you just said, what if you're doing the
whole sit down, pass out on it.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Like, I mean, there's usually like I would think more
people are going to be able to go number two
than want to throw up, unless they just want to
pull the trigger.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
I mean, I just would have never thought, like, you know,
what's funny is like you're sitting there like, this is
outrageous that LeVar would say, why would somebody vomit in
the top. But it's like y'all started off with potty
in the top, like upper decking.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
That's classier than that, that's classier than the alternative.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
That's I mean, that's not classier that I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
But that shows twister. That shows That shows a l
in the.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Top, LeVar. That shows a level of athleticism that you
can get all the way up there and balance. Like,
I think that's how a lot of gymnasts start their
careers as they just go you know what, I think
I can figure this thing out, and they do a
party party trick. Next thing you know, we're off and running.
That's weird, yea great.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
With some new stuff like what what's the whip of Kowski?
What was drunk drunk Owski?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
The drunk Galski, the drunk just me. I'm telling you.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
You find if you find yourself in the situation where
you're pretty tipsy and you need to go to the bathroom,
you're not sure if you're going to pass out there
or not, you just turn around it backwards.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, very convenient. It's very very convenient.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
All right.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
So here's what else is convenient? Okay, it's time that
we find out how we performed and over unders all right,
So here we go, uh.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Money, where your mouth is?
Speaker 10 (11:41):
I have been losing lyon Low Life game.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's over under all right?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Lead to lap. First off, how we feel? And you
were very frustrated there a few moments ago.
Speaker 9 (11:52):
You know, just getting used to the new phone lines
here in the new studios.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Studios, Aliley, what do we got?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
All right?
Speaker 10 (12:02):
Guys? Well, you pretty much Jonas and Brady here pretty much.
They took you on. LeVar had to head on every category.
So let's just go down.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
If we had Jets Brown's over under in the game
thirty three and a half. Of course, Cleveland winning the
game twenty one to sixteen. Jonas and Brady, you guys
took round one, yeah, and then we uhob Brady. We
had a battle between Zach Wilson and Kellen Mond in
the games. Zach Wilson, we had an over under on
interceptions at a half. LeVar, you correctly predicted that Zach
Wilson would not throw a pick.
Speaker 10 (12:30):
Good job on that.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Meanwhile, we had Kellen Mond with passing touchdowns over under
at a half Jonas and Brady, you took that third
round with the over and number of in game sideline
interviews for both Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 10 (12:44):
We had the over under at one and a half.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
That was zero.
Speaker 10 (12:47):
Well, no, I had checked in with you guys.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
We definitely saw Aaron Rodgers one yeahah, but no Deshaun Watson.
Lots of cuts too Deshaun Watson, but no in game
sideline interviews.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I mean they did interview with Miles Garrett and Nick Chubb,
but for some reason, Deshaun Watson wasn't a part of
the interview process. I don't know why that was. It's
weird they would not do that.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
And lastly, this is an interesting one, maybe up for debate,
but which team is penalized more?
Speaker 10 (13:10):
The Jets are the Browns.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Jets were penalized twelve times for eighty yards, Browns ten
for one oh three. I'm going to give that to
the Jets with twelve penalties for eighty yards and that
goes to LeVar. But in the end, Jonas, Brady, you
guys win the over unders first game of the season,
Hall of Fame game, three to two.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Way to go one more time, Jonas yeah, Jonas, one
more Jonas, one more?
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Oh all right, you guys needed to win because LeVar
has been kicking your butt all off season.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Yeah, man, it has all right. Just technically I would
have won that one too. I switched uf. I didn't
want to do the same thing as you guys, so
I just.
Speaker 10 (13:53):
You did switch it up with a couple times.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
They'll switch through.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
And I actually went first on those picks as well.
But it's all right, who's counting?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Who is counting?
Speaker 7 (14:03):
I'll get back on track one.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
More time, Jonas on top.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Yeah, all right, that's kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
By the way, I don't know why I.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Think it's so funny.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
It is funny if you actually know that behind the scenes, it's.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Kind of funny. Now do you think I'm picturing him
right now? Do you think one more time? Jonas?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I mean you want to go again?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
One more time?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Solid?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
Every time? That sounded like a high five.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
He's taller than me. I got to jump up into
his hand.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
It's a long way to go.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
You would you rank this segment as far as just
smoothness transitioning topic wise, we really ran. That's got to
be one of the great segments we've.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Ever felt, like a bed of nails that was just
fucked over.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
No, let me ask you guys a question.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Okay, why not I have.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
A son that's old enough to partake in adult activities,
you know, like leisure, you know, activity activities like you know,
say drinking. Would you ever party? Will you ever party?
And like, like just thinking about this last you know
topic of conversation, would you ever get tipsy? Would you
(15:26):
ever get faded with your kid? Yes, that's something that's
going to happen. Well, and like talk and talk over
like pops and and like stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Let me tell you how it's gonna probably happen. I mean,
it's a little different from me because I've got three girls,
so it's not like.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Any of them are going to be able to like
drink me under the table.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
First.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It's it's my.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Son that's gonna be the problem because you know, he's
he's obviously I'm gonna be pretty old and if I'm
gonna be trying to keep up with him, that could
that could be an issue. So yeah, it will probably
more casual drinks you know, making sure they're they're making
sure they're good.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Now, I want to straight for the beer bong right
through a doggy door. Let's get right after it. Let's
go straight to the top.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, what does that have to be through a doggy.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Do you know? Do something different? Let's let's make a
Have you.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Ever heard of that?
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Ar?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
No of all. I mean I've heard of beer bonging.
There's a doggy door. I've never heard of anyone combining both.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
I've never heard of any of these terms that you
guys be using in any different type of category.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Man, you need to use the draungalski that could actually
come into play for you.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
And LeVar with the tailgating you're going to be doing
this football season.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I tell you something. The beer bong is going to
be seen quite often.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
I'm not good at beer bonging. I tried that one
time and it's not. That doesn't work for me.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yeah, what if it's a LeVar island?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I don't want to that'll.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Send you inside out. No.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
Yeah, I'm not a beer bonger, but I will drink
a beer. I mean I was I was with my
man shots out the Frank Crumb Dophins for Wyoming. We
we were definitely crushing some cords like you know, yeah,
some cls, Frontier days and some bullets. We were knocking
them down quick, like quick, quick, quick like like one
(17:26):
one up, one down, you know what I mean. Yeah,
but I don't.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Think I could bear beer bong though. I just don't
think that would work out for her.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I tried it once before and I spit up, all up,
came out my nose everything.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Of all the things we've talked about, that's the grossest
thing this segment easily, no way, yeah, easily. No fouls
and a couple here on Fox Sports Radio, Savar Harrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knock with you. All right, So coming
up next, we are going to talk about one coach
who has a plan. It's a little bit of a
throwback plan, but he's got a plan in the National
(18:05):
Football League, and it's yours here on FSR.
Speaker 12 (18:08):
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 4 (18:23):
Two pros and a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up in a little over twenty minutes from now, we're
going to take a special look ahead to a busy
weekend in the world of sports and beyond. That's yours again,
twenty minutes from now here from the tairaq dot com studios.
But let's have a conversation about one team in the
NFL where there's a lot of optimism, the Detroit Lions.
(18:46):
They will open up the season Week one in the
first real football game of the year. All right, none
of this preseason stuff, no Hall of Fame game with
the showers and electricity that are apparently tied together not working.
But it is going to be the Lions and the
Chiefs to open up the year in Kansas City. There's
a lot of excitement that they actually sold out their
season tickets for the first time in ford Field history.
(19:09):
So over twenty plus years, they've never sold out their
season tickets and now they have. So there's a lot
of people excited about the Lions, and the Lions are
taking this unique approach to where they've got Jamier Gibbs,
who they drafted high in the first round. They also
went out and signed David Montgomery from the Bears, and
so the Detroit Lions have got these two backs. And
(19:30):
Dan Campbell, the head coach of the Lions, spoke about
this approach this upcoming year.
Speaker 13 (19:35):
Man, I think you need a back that you can
you know, push, comes to shove, he can carry a load.
And then you need a four minutes old man, no question,
somebody you feel like you can give the ball to
twenty twenty five times a game potentially. And then you
need that specialty guy that you know, he's much more.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
You know, he.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
Carries the scalpel and he can slice you up and
he can hurt you in the pass game potentially. I'm
talking about Gibbs. Obviously, get him out there and do
a few more things, because look, that's that's kind of
what I know.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Serious X and NFL Radio there courtesy of the sound
But Dan Campbell got that sounds just like somebody who's
gonna win Coach of the Year, is what it sounds
like to me.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I think the way they go about roster building in
Detroit so unique and so different than everyone else.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like if we were to look.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
At the two positions that are probably the lowest paying
and average salary, it would have been where.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
They spent their two first round picks this year. I mean,
in all seriousness.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Running backs took a first round pick in Jamier Gibbs
and then off the ball inside linebacker and Jack Campbell.
Now I'm only bringing that up because, you know, I
think there's probably a science to it or a thought
to it, where you know, if you're going to spend
a draft pick, you want to spend it on a
(20:58):
guy that's going to start, be impactful, will be a
great player for you. And in this case, they now
have both of those guys tied up for five years.
So if you're thinking about, you know, players that you
know you don't mind spending a high draft pick on,
and yes, eventually you know that they're gonna be a
little bigger capit for you, especially if you end up
(21:19):
picking up their fifty year option and they play into that.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But you're happy to do it.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
And by the way, that fifth year option, even though
it's more towards the top of the market, it's not
resetting the market like you would be if you're signing
a big free agent and so if you're looking at
their roster construction as compared to everyone else.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
It's unique. It's been unique since he's.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
Gotten there where they've built up both offensive and defensive lines.
They're O line when healthy, they're mallers, I mean absolute
maulers as far as how physical they are upfront. And
so then you add in some pieces that you know
are going to start and play for you and be
impactful players for the next four or five years. And
then as far as how you spend the rest of
(22:02):
your salary cap, you're going to be spending that on,
you hope, a quarterback right either on a contract extension
after you draft them, or if you're picking one up
in this case a veteran and Jared Goff, then you're
going to be extending him there.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Or in free agency you're.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Looking at edge rushers, you're looking at tackles, you're looking
at cornerbacks and wide receivers, like that's where the majority
of your spending's going. So if you got draft picks,
you know you could sit there and say, look like,
we could wait until the second, third, fourth round and
take a running back, but why not take a guy
we feel like as a game changer and adds a
different development or element to our offense with Ben Johnson
(22:40):
calling plays where he can split him out, he can
play in the back, he can do whatever he wants.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And then you've got another guy back there and.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
David Montgomery who could be more of your traditional in
between the tackles four minute offense, as you heard Dan
Campbell talk about. So I think their approach is it's
fascinating for me. It's been really fun to watch, and
it's so different and everyone else. I mean, Dan Campbell's
his own man. He's different and it's been successful so far.
So I'm rooting for. I think this is good for
(23:08):
the NFL. I mean, it'd be good to have the
Lions competitive. I mean, someone's gonna gonna win the NFC North.
But just more so than that, the way they're doing it.
They're bucking so many trends, Like they're doing things that
people are looking at them like, okay, you know, almost
like when the Patriots took what was the guy's name,
Curtis Strange or something like that, the offensive lineman, Remember,
they're like they and my sty were laughing at him. Yeah,
(23:31):
it's there's probably some people who like watch what the
Lions did in the first round this year and laughed
at him. I would not be surprised if there weren't
people who are going what are they doing?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
But the reality is.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
What they've built and what they've done so far, it's
working and it doesn't matter what.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Anyone else thinks. Well, he shares the same last name
as Dan Campbell. I think that's a great start with
the backer position being drafted. I think he was like,
you know what, I'm a toof chipper. I think that
Jack is a tooth chipper, so let's let's make this work.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
And also Jack went to Iowa, so you just got
to hold him. Him and Jamison Williams don't spend any
alone time together. They'll be making bets on everything. You know,
there's there could be a problem, you know, would just say,
you know, I like to gamble there you know, well I.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Was going to make a point, but you know whatever, Uh, anyway,
you know what I'm with you? There you go, Okay,
there you go. I think I think the uniqueness of
what Dan is doing is that one as a former player,
I think it's very clear he understands the value of
(24:40):
culture and and guys knowing that you care about him.
Then too, those guys that you're talking about that I
know you care about them are tough as hell, and
and it's it's like to me, it's it's like a
mix of new.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
School with old school. And the old school is you.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Get tough ass dudes and you put them in a
scheme and you say, whoop the dude's ass in front
of you. That's old school football.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
I feel like things have gotten so pretty and so
so uh sophisticated, so to speak, Whereas someone like Dan
Campbell is like, I'm we're going to hit you in
the mouth, and it's an old school approach. We're going
to run the ball where we're going to play defense,
and we're going to wait for you to make a mistake.
(25:31):
And I think that there's the idea of being able
to relate. Old school coaches weren't really into relating with
their players. There's more of a parent type of approach.
I'm not here to be your friend, I'm here to
be your coach. I'm here to be your parent. Whereas
I think Dan Campbell understands the value of connecting with
his players and connecting in a way where his personality
(25:54):
is ultimately, which this is always a sports thing anyway,
You all mentally become an extension of what your coach is.
And I think that that's what he really subscribes to,
but he subscribes to it in a way where he
gets to know his players. You know, that was what
I took away when I was interviewing the players and
talking to him and talking to the other coaches that
(26:16):
are on the staff. His coaches and his players alike
are are bought into what Dan Campbell believes as a
persona or or just as an identity. You know, you
talk about that so often. It's hard to build an
identity the further up you go, Like you would think
(26:40):
that it might be harder earlier on, but it's really
easy to build an identity with a team, and to
me in high school, like, it's a little bit more
difficult once you get to college, and then once you
get to the pros where guys are being paid and
there's just you know, you have different dynam that makes
They're married, they have kids, they have lives, they're adults.
(27:04):
It's a little bit more different and difficult to build
an identity amongst grown ass men. So I think He's
done an excellent job of doing that. I think we
know definitively what the identity of the Detroit lines, you
know what it is. But I mean, they still got
to go out there and prove it though. That's the
(27:25):
thing about it. Like everybody's high on them, that's great.
Everybody's talking a lot of positivity about what the Detroit
Lions are going to do this year and the type
of players they have, and that's great. But they still
got to go out there and do it. And that's
what ultimately for me, that's what it comes down to.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
It's just like there's a lot of people there that
you root for just based on their track record and
their history. Obviously Dan Campbell, I mean, you know, people
laughed at him when he first got there. Okay, here's
another guy that's all about being loud, and he drinks
his double espressos and his coffee and he wears a
racing helmet to you know, interviews and all that stuff
up and he does up downs with the team and
(28:03):
then he's turned around the culture. And then Jared Goff
was dismissed. He was the fall guy with the Rams
and they send him over to Detroit and Jared Goff's
actually played better in a lot of situations than Matt
Stafford has, and he's sort of taken on the challenge.
Just the organization they brought back Chris Spielman, like there's
just all all of that stuff, like they feel like
to your guys's point.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
He's by the way, if you know the Spilman family,
especially Chris, you know that that's hard knows. Yes, that's
a hard nose sum bitch right there. I tell you.
Chris Spilman is like, that's as linebacker as linebacker gets,
you know. And people may not remember his name because
it's been some time now, But again that goes back
(28:46):
to the original point of what that identity represents, what
that culture represents. You got tooth chippers all around you, man,
Like I could guarantee you if they got into a
bar fight, a bar skirmish, that people will be fighting
to be first to defend. You know that they're not.
They're not back in a way, They're just not. He
doesn't have a culture or a group of people that are
(29:09):
back away type of people.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
No, No, they're all fighting. They fight, they fight, And I.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Love that, did you okay? And I want to ask this
because there's been sort of a laughing stock label put
on the Lions because of where they were and what
they've been. Did you were you, guys ever in a
situation where you got there and you just knew man,
nobody takes you guys serious, Like, nobody thinks this is
going to work? Like doesn't that rally everybody? Especially when
(29:36):
you have Dan Campbell reminding you they think we suck.
We won three games and then you turn around the
next year you win nine and you've built the roster
the way you had. That's got to be a rally.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I honestly, not really, because you haven't accomplished anything yet.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I mean that's the truth.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Like you've built something, but you're trying to build sustainability.
You're trying to build a team that it's going to
be there. Like, for example, if I was to ask
you guys about the New England Patriots, you guys might say, like, hey,
we don't know how the good they're going to be
this year, right, but you probably don't think they're going
to be a four or five win team. I would
guarantee none of you are willing to bet they're gonna
(30:12):
go Ohen seventeen right now. Okay, the Lions have gone over.
Like I think when you're when you're talking about you know,
when you're building something, you have to have sustained success
for a series of years in order for you to
really feel like you're you're on that next tier or
that next you know, plateau, whatever the case is. And
(30:32):
in the case of Detroit, I think they're still trying
to find that, like this is going to be the
proving year. I mean, it's that way for Dan Campbell,
it's that way for Jeared Goth, it's that way for
everyone involved. And I think they're cognizantve of that, but
they're not. But again, they're not looking at the entire picture,
like he's not gonna let them. They're looking at one
game at a time, one fight, one battle at a time,
(30:55):
and that's all they got to do is win that one, right,
That's all they have to do. And that's how you
really you know, break up or segment out the course
of a season. And I think the thing that he's
tapped into what you guys just talked about and what
I think allows them to be successful or will be
this year and for the you know, the future is
(31:16):
when you find a group of tough minded people who
all have that same motor, that same gear, where they're like,
you're allowed to go to a space where you just
take it. You got seventeen battles, seventeen fights, and you're
allowed to take it one week at a time.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
It's enduring. Man, it's tough, it's draining, and there's a.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Lot of people who try to ride the roller coaster.
They kind of check in, check out. And that's why
you see those teams where it's inconsistent. Right one week
we watch them or like, oh, man, maybe be one of.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
The best teams in the NFC. The next week you
watched me, go what was that.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
That's because you don't have a bunch of guys who
are dialed in the way they need to be. I
think Detroit has a bunch of guys who have chips
on their shoulders and their fighters and they've got something
to prove, and they've got another gear, and that's what
they've done.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Probably is good of a job of vuating.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Outside of just the overall football skills is the internal
portion of it, Like how all these guys are able
to be motivated and play together. And so I just
I think what allows them to have a shot and
what allows them to stay motivated is even after nine wins,
no one's pat in the back, no one, no one's
believing in them. You know, you might say there's some
(32:27):
odds betters. Those are most likely Lions fans. That's not
pros out there saying, hey, we feel like, you know,
these are the guys who are going to go and
when in fact, like I guarantee you, pros are probably
taking some other longer bets where they maybe see a
little skewed value there.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Whatever the case may be.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
But I would imagine most star betters are saying, yeah,
I mean, I give them a chance, but you know,
they might be overvalued right now because it's just a
bunch of Lions fans who are excited that Rogers has
gone and they feel like they got a shot in
the division.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Like Dan Campbell plus eight fifty to win Coach of
the Year, and that's.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
A little different, right, Like, I think you could put
some money on that, and he's got a shot to
do it based on what he did last year. But
the problem is you have to win the division. You're
gonna be one of the top teams in the NFC.
Because if you're not that gonna you're gonna have a
hard time being.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Coach of the Year.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah, it is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe

Yeah, Toko, I think it's his name.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
R Weird though, what a complete wee.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Well, so I didn't take it that he identified as
a dog. It was that he.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Wanted to make this like human sized, realistic dog costume
because it wasn't like he was like walk around just
telling people he was a dog. He actually made a
fourteen thousand dollars costume to then get down and like
walk out in public in this costume that looked very
(35:19):
very I mean it was, I mean it looks real.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
It looks real.

part of the but it's it's really.

It's not. I mean, it's just I just wouldn't want
a callie to be that big, you.
