If we could have like a live cam on Brady
when that song is on that juke would be funny
(01:24):
as hell. Could you imagine them playing that out of
golf outing, like we go pull up and the golfers
are out there, get warmed up, and they was playing
pop music at the Blue Jacket. That would be amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It'd be something. It would be something, Oh my gosh,
my goodness, what is this?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What is this music that they're playing?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Is that even music?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
What what is going on here? That is an idea
you could do at the Blue Jacket tournament on the
sixth hole. You could do sticks on the six sticks
sick and it would be that music. LeVar islands and poles,
oh yeah, with people on them, damn. And I bet
you my hole would be the most popping hole. No
(02:11):
pun inton. We're going to We're going to Levar's hole.
You're still on the same numbers. Everybody's at the sixth hole,
all right. So that being said, we now transition smoothly
(02:33):
over to somebody who I don't know if they've ever
been to one of those establishments before, but Kirk Cousins. Oh,
I doubt we are. On Kirk Cousins Watch. It does
look like he is going to be released by the
Atlanta Falcons, and if so, there is some speculation on
some landing spots for Kirk Cousins. Zach Jackson of The
(02:53):
Fan in Cleveland says that the Browns may add Kirk
Cousins once he's released to reunite with Kevin Stefanski. They're
in Cleveland, obviously, they together in Minnesota. They just traded
for Kenny Pickett, and so he had another move that
they've got to make because the quarterback they paid all
that money too is no longer no longer active for
(03:15):
the next couple of months.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
So that's interesting though to think, like, you know, how
much cap space they have for Kirk unless they feel
like Kirk would do it for less.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
He would have to do it for less, right, who
you don't want to pay him?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Who?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
What leverage does Kirk Cousins have today to leverage any
of these teams.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Everything's working against them, you know, outside of the need
and maybe Kevin Stefanski advocating to Andrew Barry for him, like, hey,
he knows the system. I've got a good rapport with him,
but he's got his age working against him, obviously, some
of the injuries, his play last year, all those things
(03:54):
are working against him. And on top of that, his expense.
He's going to be more expensive most likely, at least
that's the assumption. Again, maybe he's willing to take a
discount to go there, and maybe that's that's where he's at.
The other question becomes like Kirk Cousins has been I
don't want to say selective, but he's he's always made
(04:16):
a decision that has been the best financial decision for him.
Maybe you'd say also it's kind of worked out from
a destination standpoint, right, Like, he got drafted, you can't
control that, played under the franchise tag. That was how
it worked out. And then instead of going to the Jets,
he chose the Vikings, which I think we'd look at
(04:37):
and say they've been a better organization, and that worked
out to a degree. You know, they went to the playoffs,
but that was the end of that. And then he
got the opportunity to go into free agency signs with
the Atlanta Falcons, which on paper last year I think you
would have said that's a good situation for a quarterback
to go into. At least that was my thought about it, right,
A winnable division of roster with a ton of talent
(05:00):
on it, and they committed big money. Felt like two
years of guarantees even though it somehow rolled into one.
So I just I kind of look at it and go,
you know, is Cleveland that place? If he's not going
to get paid what he wants, no, which is really
what he's always done, No, is he going to go there?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
To answer that question, if it's if the question is
posed that way, I would say that that's a definitive no,
because how I mean, first of all, you do know
that Deshaun Watson is still there. You do know that
in the presence of Deshaun Watson is going to be there,
regardless of his participation on the field. But it's also
(05:44):
a very tough division to be in. And if I'm
not getting paid what I want to get paid, why
would I go into a division where I'm clearly trying
to catch up from behind with what I'm doing here?
I would think that Tennessee jump tennis and he jumps
out at me. And I gotta be honest, if I
(06:06):
were to go into the and the AFC North, I
would want to do it with Pittsburgh, not Cleveland. And
I'm not saying that because I'm from Pittsburgh. I'm just
saying they just added DK Metcalf. I just think that
what they have offensively, tools wise, their reputation and their
(06:27):
body of work and what they're able to do. They're
one of those teams that can beat Baltimore every year.
They're one of those teams that can beat Cincinnati every year.
They're one of those teams that can compete for AFC
North Crown every year. So to me, if I were
to do it, that would be one of the teams
that I would look for. And I'd say, Okay, if
(06:47):
I'm not going to get paid exactly what I would want,
I at least want to go to Pittsburgh because that
market and that team could yield me a good return
outside of outside of the pay. But Tennessee would be
number one on my list.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I would think he would prefer Cleveland just from the
familiarity standpoint. And there's got to be a large portion
of him though, even if you're not getting paid, though
he's already been paid, and I think, but what if
you're trying to get paid again. But if we're talking
about leverage and he doesn't have any right now, he's
also got to look at you know, he's staring his
own mortality in the eyes and be like, all right, look,
(07:23):
based on last year, the feeling is that I'm washed,
and I want to prove that I'm not. So if
it means I go to Cleveland, a place I'm familiar with,
an offense and a coach that I'm familiar with, I'd
rather do that than go to Pittsburgh, who may offer
me more money, and I've got to try and figure
out new surroundings, a new coach, potentially a new system
(07:44):
like all of that. But he's familiar.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I know you're familiar with what Stefansk he's going to do,
and you're familiar with him, but you still got to
go into new digs Man. You still got and that's
in two years time, right like you had to do that,
just you just had to do that. You got to
do it all over again.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
And also we've seen, as long as it's not Deshaun Watson,
we've seen several quarterbacks play pretty well under Kevin Stefanski
in Cleveland. And so if I was Kirk Cousins. I
look at him be like, man, I've made a ton
of money, Like this is about showing people I can
still do this, and I'll go take my chances, and
(08:23):
I'll take it with somebody that I know and as
opposed to somebody I don't know. That would be my thought.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Jerry Judy is the number one receiver for this team.
We all agree on that that's their biggest threat at
the receiver's position.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yes, yeah, And look, I like Jerry.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I like Jerry Judy too, But if I'm looking at
the supporting cast, I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I don't. I mean, I know, we like in Joe
Ku ik In Joeku, but they are.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
A hell of a running game. I mean Day Chubb
and really their stable of backs.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I do have a running game. I just I don't.
I don't trust to create a line. I don't trust
it in the North. I don't trust it in the North.
And is this like, is this next stop? You gotta believe?
This next stop also probably marks the end in terms
of Kirk Cousins. If he does not do well, he's
(09:17):
not going to be looked at as a starter in
his league.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Ever.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Again, outside of extreme circumstances. He's not going to get
another opportunity to be a starter in this lead, So why.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Not go to a place that you have that familiarity.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I would say this like from an offensive standpoint, and
I say this all the time. If you know the
verbiage of the system, that makes the transition a little
bit easier. It doesn't make it like, oh, it's like
riding the bike, which, by the way, my daughter do
She bid it so bad the other day and she
had like the training wheels on and stuff, and it
(09:54):
wasn't even like that. She just went down this hill
and went too fast and I was like, yeah, I'm
like trying to chase her, and I'm like, you gotta
use the brakes, use the brakes, and she just panicked.
I completely forgot right there on a handlebar she could
use the brakes, didn't so fell off, laid there like
she was roadkill. We picked her up, duster off. She
was fine, and now we've called her roadkill for the
(10:15):
past two days.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's kind of crazy how kids can handle things like that. Yeah,
Like I would be done if I fell off of
a bike. Oh, my body would be so sore off
of a fall. Yeah, like you can't, like I can't
bounce back like that doesn't have she.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I mean, it wasn't that vicious of a fall, but
she caught like a crack in the sidewalk where like
there was one like some one side was like uneven.
So it's just kind of unfortunate. And so you saw
her go down. Oh dude, I was chasing her yelling.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
All right after you knew she was okay? Did you
laugh after?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
I didn't laugh after. It probably took a little bit
of time.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
But anyway, I'm want to get too far off track
on this, but I like that it's kind of funny,
like I would trust me. It's like, now I got
it's okay for me to laugh now that I know
that true.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The problem was when I first walked up, I was like, okay,
she's okay, but she laid there like roadkill, I kind
of said. I was like, so later on, like that
was my first thought of my head. I didn't say
it to her, but then I thought to myself, I'm
gonna call a roadkill at some point later on today.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Which which one was it? Which done?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
My six year old? Yeah, yeah, she's awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
The point is is it's it's it's not like riding
a bike where you hop back on and you're able
to ride it much better than Teagan did. But it helps.
And that's at this point in time in your you know, career,
it's huge because when you go to a different team.
I can't emphasize this enough and I played on a
lot of different teams. One of the hardest things that
(11:54):
you take for granted, especially when you're like you're in
college and you you come in with a recruiting class
and you're playing and throw to guys that at least
back then, now it's a little more transient, but it's
like you're kind of throwing to the same guys and
so you grow and you mature and you develop that
chemistry together. It's really hard in the NFL to develop
(12:14):
that in one offseason. In the pros, the off seasons
are cut down now, guys don't kind of work the
same amount as they used to. It's a little more
cut down with that approach, so you have a limited
amount of time to develop that chemistry with like their
body language, and it's there's a significant difference between how
Jerry Judy, Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman, all those guys, David Bell,
(12:37):
how all those guys come in and out of their cuts.
And in a league where when you're a quarterback, you
are throwing balls before they're ever out of their cut
into their cut to a spot, like you have to
know based on the type of ball you need to
throw based on their pacing. Some guys are way better
getting in and out of cuts, like Jerry Judy, for example,
(12:59):
can roll his cuts extremely well. He runs the way
he's hit kind of rolling the outside of his feet,
and the way he's able to juke guys and his
start stoppability, it's very abrupt, and so that's gonna be
something that like Kirk Cousins has to get used to
and like the smaller, like twitchy slot guys. Man, You've
had some guys sometimes that they were so good at
(13:20):
being able to stop and then start and accelerate that
you kind of had to get a feel for, like
how far out in front don't need to put this
ball because a lot of it's anticipation, Like you're you're
watching him take off from the line of scrimmage. He's
gonna set up that defender based on his leverage and
so you're like, all right, he's got inside leverage. I
know he's going to break out. But then it's a
(13:40):
feeling with your feet and with your motion and with
his body language as to when that's gonna happen. And
so that becomes a much more complicated process than people
realize to get down. And when you're still thinking about
how you call the play, what the plays called, what
the concept is, it becomes a little bit daunting. And
so last year when I was watching Kirk Cousins, who's
(14:01):
coming off an injury, who's going to you know, a
team with a new system, right, a first time play
car and Zach Robinson and all these new PC's throwing too,
It's like, well, yeah, there's a lot of reasons why
he could have struggled, and he did struggle. And so
you look at in Cleveland and go, Okay, he's a
year removed from the injury. That should help, and it's
a system that he knows that should help. Now it
(14:22):
just comes down to, like, can he develop chemistry with
these guys fast stuff if he's if it is Cleveland,
if he's going to be there, and that gives them,
I think, to Jonas's point, a little bit better chance
of having the success that he's hoping for.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I just think that going to Cleveland is super, super,
super risky for Kirk Cousins. I get all of that,
and maybe he does have a better opportunity of being
successful in Cleveland because of the elements of awareness and
(14:55):
understanding of the verbiage and the familiarity of the coach.
I just I think that that's a tough situation to
go into if I'm Kirk Cousins, I really do. Now.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Granted, they they did win with with Who's My Guy Flacco?
They did win with Flacco, and they had somewhat they
had a little bit of wha I mean, if Kirk
Cousins believes he can go in there and this is
in that sense the same type of team that that
Flaco was winning with, if he feels as though he
(15:32):
can go in and be that guy, then maybe this
is a big move and and the boom of it
is really worth it. I mean, that's very possible. I
just think that if I'm going to go take a
chance right now, and maybe maybe I've talked myself out
(15:52):
of it, but I would just think that Tennessee would
make the most sense. I think Tennessee would make the
most sense because he has the opportunity to play against
teams that aren't as competitive as the teams in the AFC.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Nor can I also say this, like, if you're looking
for a veteran guy, are they just out on Jameis Winston.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I don't get this. I really don't. Oh, I mean,
who's kicking the tires on him? I saw there were
two teams that were thinking, it's so fun we ever
mentioned his name. I just I don't.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I mean, I feel like he's loved in locker rooms.
He's look, I understand everyone's going to make all these
there's two thirty some picks.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Like, I mean, there was a lot of pushing the
ball down the field. Probably half those are on him,
half are on a combination of other things. But he
also led the league in passing that year. He also
threw every thirty touchdown passes like he's forty.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Nine Ers and Chargers have interested in Jamis Witson reportedly.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Which makes complete sense. One but two, like he's got ability.
I don't know why a team that had him last
year excuse me, and like they just want to move on,
Like connuity is good in some lights in some ways,
and I just I don't understand why there's not a
desire from both parties on that. I mean, he would
be a cheaper option than Cousins.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, I don't know. Uh, you guys want to play
a little game. Here, a little game, all right, here's
the game. How much has Kirk Cousins made in his
this is this is.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
The most ridiculous number.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's like, yeah, yeah, all right, So here we go.
We've got a we've got a live studio band that
is with us here on Fox Sports Radio there. And
for some reason we've got issues with the well, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
It's spinal we don't have it. It's spine. My back
is broken, bad bad news.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Beer says, I need a Becky out of me. All right,
So I just pretend that there's game show music playing
and we are off and running, all right, So here
we go. Kirk Cousins career earnings up to this point.
All right, So career innings, Brady Quayn, you can go first. Here.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
We've we've last year. It's like two hundred and eighty five.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Million or some ridiculous amount. LeVar Arrington. I mean, I'm
going with you. We've already had this discussion. We'll go ahead.
Let's what's your number to eighty five point one? All right,
so Brady's oh what is that price? Is right? Oh?
You would, yeah, you would, Ladies and gentlemen nowhere to
playing that game. Yeah, LeVar Arrington, you are correct. Two
hundred and ninety four million, one hundred sixty nine thousand.
(18:34):
He's right there, like knocking that three hundred Hall of Fame.
By the way, Hall of Fame. Had he halimfleted his
contract with the Atlanta Falcons at the end of it all,
he would have made just over four hundred and eleven
million dollars in his NFL.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Hall of Fame. In the business of football, Kirkuss, can
you make it in first ballot? Can you make it
in for it should be a wing first ballot?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I mean, why does it have to be a wing
if you're if you make it into the Hall of
Fame for being extraordinary and exceptional, who else can say
that they've done that?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
It's a I mean, he's played a lot of games though,
so it's not like you can use the efficiency argument.
But there are certain guys who are also in the
Hall of Fame. In the business of football who have
played as minimal as possible but made large amounts of money,
And that is that's a that's accomplishment, Like, that's.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It a feat.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
If you can figure out a way of making millions
upon millions of dollars and doing less, that is a
man who knows efficiency and that is what this country
is all about. Productivity, but efficiency too. So Kirk Cousins
is you can make the case he's he's in that category.
Like for many of the naysayers who are like, ah,
you know, he's hasn't done as much in the playoffs
(19:42):
all that, It's like, yeah, he hasn't, and guess what,
he's still made two hundred ninety four million dollars. About
them apples?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Hard bob for them apples? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Did they still do bobbing for apples? Is that like
considered to be still socially correct? It's probably incorrect.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Want me to bring this full circle. Yeah, they still
doing the troughs.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
That's what they do. They are in troughs. Ye, Like,
now that you think about it, don't you feel like that?
I think moting to go bobbing.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
For because most people realize like, oh, they're filling up
their bathtub to go bob for apples.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
And then you got all these different mouths going in
there and and.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Stuff, and meanwhile Jonas was just in there bathing himself.
I would just have to make sure, I mean, we
do it. I have to be first. If I can
go first, then I'm not again, you're going after Jonas
just took a bathroom.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I would put my face in there with other people.
I make sure I want to go first for for you.
I'm not there for the apples with my veneers not happening.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh god, hey man, I just want to go first,
like that's all. If I if I'm opening my mouth,
then water is going in my mouth, and I just
don't want.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
To be the one that's doing the recycled water. I
want I want to go first. Yeah you got me, blood,
I got you up top bar oh top, I can
get all right. It is two pros and a cup
of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar and Anton Brady, Quinn,
(21:11):
Jonas Knox and you coming up next here though from
the tire rack dot Com studios, we are going to
discuss one team who's just still kind of waiting around,
still kind of waiting around to see who's going to
be their starter next year in the NFL. That'll be
yours right here on FSR.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and

Speaker 2 (21:40):
You know, there's some loser somewhere who got dumped. Who
is listening to this song? What type of drink in
front of them? Whiskey? Yeah, yeah, whiskey makes sense.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Look whiskey on Ipa Jones.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
No, No, that that's not hard enough. Yeah, people get dumped,
don't drink it. I pas tang sitting there drinking a
whiskey looking through old photos. Tang.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Meanwhile, what they were doing when they were chudging somebody
else's commote or well they're commote with somebody else's stuff
in the commode?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Oh what you mean?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Just saying you just reminisce about things, you know, like
your pool being right outside your window and seems private
for you and I don't know, Yeah, well, just one
of them type dudes, you know, to each there themselves
walking down the you know, the alley way would a
beat box.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Just wants you to know that you guys are really
sitting in there eating cup of noodles.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
You guys have taken in more sodium in the last
hour and a half than anybody has. There's a lot
of salt.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
I'm going to read the books.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Jeez.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well that I mean, that's that's where the cameras should
be pointed, Honestly, there should be highlights of the show
of what goes on behind the window, behind behind that window.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
As you're on some taco bell sauce and some taheen
and another little salsa I found in the cupboard, and
it's pretty.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Good, wouldn't it wouldn't want have been enough? No three sauces.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
There is only eight milligrams of sodium in this cup
of noodles, and I can tell because it's bland. Honestly,
it could use some more salt.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Nobody's ever said that in the history couple of noodles.
Why I threw taheen on there? All right?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Well, do I do love how concerned you are with
their soda all the things that they're consuming. That's your
big concern is their sodium of.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
All, Like, do you know how much sodium is in.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Those everything that Lee could be consuming. That's that's your
biggest concern. That's great, that's look at the salt content,
you know, just be careful to a sodium.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, I just feel like Lorraine is into the same
things Lee is into.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Yeah, okay, but if it was a thing of top ramen,
there's one thousand and thirty milligrams of sodium in those
whoa yeah, oh so.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's the difference. Top ramen is okay and then cup
of noodles Okay, yeah, a.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Couple of noodles is the healthy alternative.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, it's which one is more expensive? Is it? Probably
top ramen? Really? Well, no, the little bags of top ramen,
No they're not. Yeah, those are cheap.
Speaker 7 (26:52):
I just feel like this is thirty three cents.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And what's and what's cup of noodles? Yeah, so it
costs to eat better. Well, once again, Mason Rudolph could
afford both of those, and apparently he might be doing
that in Pittsburgh because, uh, the Steelers have reached out
(27:17):
to him. There's also some speculation that, uh, you know,
they could also go the direction of maybe wanting Russell
Wilson back. If they're not so now that's Aaron Rodgers man.
I look, I I know Mike Tomlin's got this consecutive
winning season street going, but I it feels like they're
(27:39):
on the outside looking in. If they if they.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Will, I'm they're trying though, aren't they. Yeah, they're sure
out there getting their best try. They are signing people,
you know, bringing people. It's a quarterback thing. It's a
little bit elusive, which if you think about it, shouldn't be.
I mean, you've got a defense to help you out.
You got two stud receivers, a tight end, you got
(28:04):
a bit of a ground game. Like I don't really
see what's what's holding people back.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I think if they were to bring in Mason Rudolph,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
You have a backup. Like that's really kind of which
is fine. Mason Rudolph is aware of and clear on Pittsburgh,
so that's if he wanted to go back, it's not
a bad deal. I guess couldn't you make this case though?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
But there was Russell Wilson's season last year better than
any of the seasons Mason Rudolf was there, Yes, So
like it's not I mean, I don't know to your point,
that's that's not moving the needle. That's a guy you're
looking at saying, hey, if someone gets hurt, we've got
a guy that we feel like can come in and
win some games.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Maybe I find it interesting to say, now we're bringing
Russell Wilson's name back into it, and if I'm Russell Wilson,
how do I feel about that? Because Justin Fields got
picked up before he did. He didn't even finish the
season as a starter, and so now, oh, you want
to start having more conversation with me now because Justin
Fields isn't available anymore. Like so I'm like your sloppy second, Like,
(29:14):
is that what this is?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Well, that's correct.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I was gonna say, actually looking at it in a
little bit different vain because Bob and for apples after me, Well,
he's been talking to the Giants, right, it's kind of
been the Giants, It's been the Steelers. I mean, if
you're picking between the New York destinations, I'm not sure
you know, probably the giants of the Jets, so we'll
steel It still shakes out, But I think if you're
looking at from Russell Wilson's standpoint, I don't know it
(29:40):
was Pittsburgh ever in on Justin Fields.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I mean a lot of the conversations early on was
that there was a mixed bag of feelings on the
two of them, and then there was what some people
that it kind of came out the speculation was more
leaning towards Justin field.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Fields, which doesn't make any sense. But listen, here's the thing.
Is this time of year, like do you even know
really who to believe. Like that's the hardest thing about
this time of year. It seems impossible because you get
so many reports that are either conflicting or you know,
they end up not being anywhere close to the truth.
And it's just an agent floating stuff out there because
(30:18):
the agent wants to make sure his client looks like
he's attracted but you know, attractive to other teams and tries.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
To build up his value.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
But you know, really they just peddle it through a
lot of these insiders that throw things out there that
I'm just being honest. I mean, that's how the game's played.
It doesn't mean there's any truth to a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I'm just really intrigued by Aaron Rodgers going to Pittsburgh.
I really am, because I think he can bring an
element that we have not seen since Ben Roethlisberger, and
that would be interesting and intriguing for Pittsburgh Steeler fans.
In my estimation, I did not think Russell Wilson was
(30:57):
the right fit for Pittsburgh. Don't think he's the right
fit for Pittsburgh. No, shape just don't think he's the
right fit. Now Aaron Rodgers, I think Aaron Rodgers would
would be interesting again, because the only thing that I
would be concerned about with Aaron Rodgers is if the
(31:17):
personality is a fit not his game.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Why is Rogers more Pittsburgh than Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I just think that the skill set that Aaron Rodgers,
the skill sets that Aaron Rodgers has, even though maybe
he doesn't move around as much as a big Ben
would move around at this point in his career, I
just think that Aaron Rodgers has that type of personality
that fits what quarterbacks, successful quarterbacks in Pittsburgh have had.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
What would you say is like the biggest difference between
Rogers are you? Are you going with the black and white? No? No,
because I mean Russ is close. I mean Russ is close.
He's close. Yeah, He's close enough where y'all could claiming Yeah,
I would ask I would ask Brady that question. But
for you, like personality.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I mean, Brady and Russell are kind of the same complexion,
you know what I mean, ain't too far off?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Good call.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
If Brady spends like ten minutes in the sun, I mean, boom,
it's like right there, yeah, you know, yeah, just saying
so I'm not you know, I'm not going to push
too hard on that, but I will say.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Does Russ not have enough of an edge? I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
It's a different type. It's a different type like Aaron
Rodgers's edge is more more, maybe you know, better consumable
than Pittsburgh. I just think Aaron Rodgers is a better
fit for Pittsburgh than Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Where are you trying to go? Because I's just personality wise,
I just don't know. Like Russell Wilson wasn't that bad
last year. He just wasn't he. I was saying that
I was.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
I was having this conversation with with Tris yesterday we
were watching Love Is Blind and this is this is
a this is a great Russell Wilson deal, like like
comparison or you know, analogy. There's this one girl on there.
She gets on there and she gets all the way
to the wedding and says no, right, but all the
(33:26):
way to the wedding, you would have thought that they
were going to get married at the end. Well, she
was like. Tris was like, I don't know why she
wouldn't just go through with it. She had him sign
a pre nump and everything, and I was like, I
was like, I'm gonna tell you the problem with her.
She's not good enough to get the guy that she wants,
(33:47):
but she's too good for the guy that wants her,
And that's Russell Wilson. In this scenario, He's not good
enough to be where he needs to be in Pittsburgh, right,
But there's somebody else out there that he's too good for,
but he won't get that one. So he shouldn't be
(34:07):
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
But wherever else he would end up being's it's not
going to be it's not going to be good enough
for him. So whatever the situation is, the scenario is
for Russell Wilson, it's not in Pittsburgh. But when I
look somewhere else, like where else would Russell fit? Where
else would he fit? How did he go from future
(34:30):
Hall of Famer to journeyman quarterback?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I just I just don't think his personality along with
his I think if he were like, Okay, you come
from having your own office, like you have an office
in the building, you have a twenty six room home
with only two bedrooms and twenty bathrooms. It's just something.
There's something, there's something about the personality that is it's
(34:59):
just it's just not the mad bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, it's just not.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
And you got to have ibs like there's just there's
something off there. Like my dad, My dad's a builder.
Conversations we used to I used to listen to him
have all the time. You know, when you talk about,
you know, you're building a house for someone and they
have you know, four or five better whatever it is,
it's like, well, do you want a bathroom attached to that?
You know, and you and you listen to people's conversation
(35:24):
about like do they want kids to share a room?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Do they not?
Speaker 4 (35:27):
And then you uh, you know, and Chopper tries to
give him advice, and Chopper, you know, he's eating Skyline
chili like his entire life, So he would be the
type that's like, you gotta have a lot of bathrooms
because he's you know, he's eating those five ways and
that mixture of that chili sauce and the beans.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Oh yeah, it's coming out eventually. It's like Beethoven, Beethoven, but.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
That ratio twelve bathrooms are four bedrooms, Like, he would
not have been a fan of that.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
So I just he's he's in a bad spot because
it's a lot of bathroom. The top isn't wanting him.
In the bottom, he isn't wanting them. So I know
what I want, though, what do you want?
Speaker 4 (36:03):
A blind episode?
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I think it is a love his blind episode. What
he wants he can't get, what wants him he don't want.

gonna stay on that train. I like that and I
would like to see that happen. That's good, right, Uncle,
still open love. It can't have good without the bad. Brady,
(38:39):

Speaker 4 (38:41):
The WNBA threatening to strike over there, CBA, you lost
forty million dollars last year being subsidized by the NBA.
Can can we just stop, like be happy with the
growth where we're at. They've never turned a profit. I mean,
it's just it's bad, Like, can we stop the madness
with this? Let's try to build up the league in

(39:03):

Speaker 2 (39:06):
That Jesus, and for bad to worse. What was ugly
this week, jonaes I was a bit rude by Brady,
