The NFL has decided to put its foot down. All right,
enough is enough. The National Football League has banned smelling
salts and the use of ammonia before and during all
NFL games. Why is that? Did they give a reason?
I'm not sure, but George Kittle's not happy. He was pissed.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
There's a lot of dudes that that's that's your wake
up call. I know people do that before workout. Yeah,
like in between sets? Does they kill brain cells?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Lee? Actually you a pretty expert on that one't you.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I haven't heard that it kills brain cells. I don't
know about.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
That, Lee. Do you do anything else that kills brain cells?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I drink that definitely kills brain cells. Nothing else. I
don't think I do anything else that kills brain cells.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Okay, I guess there was some report that came out
last year from the FDA warning people of the use
of it. So the NFL decided, you.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Know what, it can contain a chance ammonia gas can
irritate the nasal passages and the respiratory system. However, there
is no evidence that would say say that it causes
permanent brain damage.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Until they get a sponsor from one of them and
they're making some money, and then then they'll.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Be okay with its bands smelling salts like I wonder
if this is.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
One of those deals.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
They ban it because they feel like younger kids will
start doing it, and maybe that's what they're concerned with.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's been forever. I use smelling salts in high school.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
This isn't bad salts, right, No, not bad.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I've never heard of smelling salts. Smelling salts.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It is like an ammonia cap and like a like
a little like a little smuggle. You crack it open,
and then when you smell it like just burns your
whole face open, Like everything just opens up.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's like whoa. Yeah, they use they're.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Used for like waking people up when they have like
concussions or been knocked unconscious.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Stuff like we should all do it before a show.
I mean it would be like hyped up. I know
you will, Jonas, Yeah, I get you hyped.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They used to sell something on the market that was
like you could sniff, like stick it up your nose
and then sniff it, and then they still sell those
times they use mental Yeah yeah, yeah, like if you're
like really like stuffed up or something to that effect.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Se you go deep enough, what rain has got answers?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah right, Yeah, there's this stuff called I don't know
if I should say it, but sniff it's it's legal
in Europe.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It's not legal here.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I've heard that too around when people go skiing in
South Florida.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know what we should lay out here?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh God, take it away. He told me one time.
He's never didn care. Okay, he knows what smells.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Tang.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I'm just curious as to why you would why
would you ban it?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I mean, why not give some some context to why
you would ban it. That's a that's it's a it's
a part of people's ritual, like a lot of people's ritual,
like pregaming.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I was just thinking that is going to order someone
on Amazon. It's gonna show up, It's like and so, yeah,
there's nothing inside. Now. George Kittle is one of those
guys who depends on it. He interrupted an interview on
NFL Network yesterday to explain how disappointed he was in
the NFL about this.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Here was I honestly just came up here to Eric
Grievance our team at a memo today that smelling slats
and ammonia packets were made illegal in the NFL.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Wow, And I've been distraught all day.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Illegal.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
He even said he's not practicing anymore. I considered retirement.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
Yeah, you got to figure out the middle ground here, Guys,
help me out.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
Somebody come up with a good idea. Grievances. Yeah, that's
all I had to get out there.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It is it every before, every every drive, every drive.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
In between, every place.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Yeah, it feels like the energy is still out here though,
I definitely, but I miss those already.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I just don't. But just now, now we've decided, you
know what, it's twenty twenty five, and you know this
has got to stop. Okay, there's not there's not other
issues you could probably focus on. Let's go ahead and
get rid of smelling salts, all right. I just I don't.
I don't know how they pick and choose what's going
to be a problem, what they're going to eliminate. Just
very very strange. I mean, what's what would do more
(05:46):
damage that? Or chew? Like smelling salts or chew because
it's two So if somebody, if somebody was doing chew,
not a zin but the old school chew. Yeah, bro,
like that band that's like causing cancer?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Is that band?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I believe?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I don't think it is. I don't think it is either. No.
I just know no one does want playing football.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Remember the MLB, like tried to Ben.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I thought MLB tobacco. I thought that's what happened. No,
I mean like, because you'll see you can see a
coach on the sideline who's got a chewing. So it's
not not.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Not not in foot coaches, that's not true. You're not
you're not you're not allowed to snuff. That's not you're
not allowed to snuff.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Coaches don't. No, they're not allowed to snuff.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I've seen coaches dipal Yeah. No, no, no, no, I
think if they did, they were breaking the rule. Like,
I'm pretty certain they're just coaches subject to that.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's a no. It's like a no tobacco, like to
like smoke. It's a no.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You can't do any shift there. Yeah, I don't, I
don't know. I'm pretty certain. I'm pretty certain that was
made a rule. I'm pretty certain. I'm gonna look it up.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
No fun league, Lee, when's the last time you dipped?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Well, I've done this zen fairly recently. Not a big
fan of dip or or zen, even though I do.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Even though I got my somebody's calling in Hey, you
know it just put them on the air.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
There's probably a lot of people who have opinions on this. Yes,
I will screen this call and we will check holed up.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
How rude. We're trying to do well. We're trying to
have a conversation about what's legal and not legal, and
then somebody's got the audacity to call in while Lee's
in his moment providing expertise on the subject.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
I can't get over how differently sounds this morning versus yesterday.
And he tried to say there's nothing different. Attla blames
the computers.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Lit a lot of sorts live. I got are we doing? O? Lee?
What are we looking at? Who is this?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
This is Kenny in South Carolina. It doesn't quite have
a take on chewing tobacco, but he does have an
interesting Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, I was just calling to let you guys know.
The reason why they've banned the smelling sauce is because it,
uh it masks concussion symptoms.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
That's what they said. Anyway, that makes sense. Yeah, I
can see that.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I mean, all right, thanks sir, Yeah, I appreciate thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You guys. Buy how's a mask? I'm buying that? What
do you mean, how's a mask that wakes you up.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, okay, you can more alert, So you can do
that through a concussion if the smelling salts wake your
ass up.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Basically, hell yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
There's people who get concussed and they're like, all right now,
I'm good to go back in there?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know, uh, well, you know they wouldn't that be
looked at as a remedy? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
When did you say when? When in doubt he was
a smell with you? I think the mat with them.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'm with you not put them back in after a concussion, though.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I mean, but if you can go from being concussed
to not seemingly being concussed, why wouldn't you use that?
That's like if I'm in pain and you give me
pain that I don't have any pain anymore?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Right here? You know this is this is writ in
Jonas's wheelhouse.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Whoa so boxing match guy gets knocked out cold, his
corner can't be waving a month of tabs underneath them, okay,
gets up for the ten calendar there.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
And there's been some issues with that. There. There was
a remember Aaron pryor the box of course, so the
guy his train God, I forget who his trainer was.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh man, I forget what.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Aaron Pryor was a great boxer at a Cincinnati. He
was really really good and well, wait class I believe
was he middleweight? But he was really good and he
in the corner. He was drinking like the trainer asked him.
They said, uh, give me a bottle because he was
(10:15):
losing the fight. They give me the bottle. And I
think it was against Aguayo. God, who's he? Who did he?
Who's he in the fight with? But anyways, he was
in the corner. The trainer said, give me the bottle, No,
the other one, and he drank out of the bottle
and came out and just annihilated this guy. And the
(10:35):
rumor was that there was something in the bottle. Some
people thought, and what was in the bottlely, I think
it's Alexis some rage. Did he look that up? Aaron
Fryer him. I think it was Panama. Lewis was the
guy who was Yeah, I goes for research. That's the
(11:01):
only reason I do it. Now I trying to follower.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Which, by the way, while he's a faster type than
tobacco products and alcohol are restricted like like firmly restricted
from NFL activities. It's a strict policy. I guess they
caught Mike Zimmer snuffing. They caught Baker Mayfield using a
(11:26):
zen and while they did not find them, it was
made very clear to them that they are tobacco free zone.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Do you tell me many guys use zins in the NFL?
I mean, I've seen Coach smokes cigarettes. What are we
talking about it?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I've seen take it and put uh the biggest dip,
the biggest snuff and like bubble gum and you just
just chew it like it's like so they don't know
that it's that. It's like it's bubble gum. So I
don't know how it all works, but.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
It's it's band. It's a banned substance for anybody that's
not done chew. What is a hog leg? What is
the It's a big old dip up in there. Dan,
don't be afraid to let a show like like the
horseshoe almost were at the bottom.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I don't understand why somebody would want to Why would
you want to use it while you're in a game,
Like that thing really spaces you out, like I used
some Copenhagen before, Like I used to do it. I
used to do it one time for a meeting, every
training cap just every training cab I did with one
of my dudes, Like we sit there and we spit together, right,
(12:44):
and I would feel like, yeah, yeah, it made me
feel really bad, like really spaced out, but it kept
you awake, like very I was very high, is what
I was. In my own estimation, I was I fried Lee.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
What do you have on Panama Lewis providing liquid cocaine
in the corner?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, so Panama Lewis. Uh said at the time that
he had put peppermint liquor in there to settle prior stomach. However,
many believed that it didn't contain stimulants.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
This was documented in a documentary called Assault in the Ring.
He was later UH sanctioned and and actually charged with
a salt for removing padding from his gloves and the
subsequent fight with Billy Collins Junior. And they also claimed
that he would crush asthma pills into the fighter's water
to other stamina.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
That's what it is. Asmais there, it is right there.
What a what a dirty tactics horse, That's really what
it is, all right. Well, so that's unfortunate. So if
(13:57):
you were hoping to see somebody do smelling salts in
an NFL game. Not gonna happen. Apparently we decided we
are against that moving forward. That's crazy, but we can
still do it on our show though.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Anybody wants to appreciate the call from South Carolina too,
By the way, I appreciate your insight.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yeah, Jonas, why do you order some from Amazon and
get them delivered to your place?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
You know, I don't like the label of being cheap.
I'm gonna get you more cheap. Well, I'll check the
price at Amazon, and if if I don't like it,
I'll go to Amazon Off and then we'll go from there.
Let me see, smelling salts. What can we get for you?
What would you guys say, like eight bucks? What depends
on how are you getting?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
If you were going to get a pack, I would
say it's probably like around twenty dollars or something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Ten or twelve.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You're a package a pack up, Yeah, it can be
that expensive.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
One pack nineteen ninety nine. There you go, bad day,
All right? How do they come in one pack?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I don't know, it's like twenty of them. Maybe I
think it's powder for him? Oh, it's powder.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, hold on, how does that work? I don't know.
It's got a little scoop with it and all that. Yeah,
I'm looking for pills you just bring No, that's not pills.
Oh they got travel size. You're looking at the wrong thing,
all right. So one hundred counts sticks sixty bucks, way
out of my price range. Not happening the good Amazon.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I see something for seven bucks on eBay.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You never even buy ammonia sticks on third day. The
ones I'm talking about the ones that use on by
the way to sling.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Somebody was slinging those on eBay.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
The ones that use on the sidelines are thirty nine
hold on first aid only ammonia inhaling thirty nine dollars
and ninety eight cents one hundred to the box, bang
for you. But the ones, those are the ones that
they use on the sidelines.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I don't worry. They'll be back heavily.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Uh, the old Chappie, That's what I just would say.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Expense to Shappy, We'll try it on the show. Scott
Shapiro opening up a box of smelling salt that Lee
had delivered. Even worse, he'd be like, are you guys
doing smelling salts before you guys go on a hate lee.
But the they don't do that. They don't sell those
at the liquor store, at.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
The liver store, but at the pharmacy right next door.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
You ken, Oh okay, you.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Got you empty out one of them little water bottles,
the little mini water bottle. You put like three, four, five,
six of them bad boys in there, and then you
have a smelling salt party.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Why have you never thought of doing this before a show,
especially after a delivery Wednesday?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
That is a good call, you know, we can we
can make changes, no, look to improve.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
We May's career.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yes, yeah, sometimes I probably need it too, though, But
I'm drinking the celsius right now and I feel I'm
so jacked up. Right now, I feel like I want
to go out and run like the stairs in between
the breaks, like I got energy.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You got one of the ones with the vodka and itvar.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
No, it's not ready. I didn't get I said, I
wish I would have got one. No, but this is
sparkling wild beery. It's pretty good. It's got me wide awake,
like them smell smelling salt sip sip on some smelling salt.
Oh yeah, that's that's what you're doing right now.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox,
and the US Who are you talking to? You? Talking
to yo ass? Coming up next here though, If somebody
(17:46):
is back yet again in the NFL, we'll explain who
right here ont fs are.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
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 a m. Eastern three am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Oh Man, Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox
Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here.
Coming up in about twenty minutes from now, we're going
to have our midweek Awards, the Good, the Bad, and
the ugly. That'll be yours here on FSR. Somebody is
making their triumphant return to the NFL, and that's somebody
is Teddy Bridgewater. Teddy Bridgewater is back. He signs with
(18:29):
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be Baker Mayfield's backup. He
was suspended from Miami Northwestern High School from his coaching
job there for impermissible benefits to his players, apparently self
reported Uber receipts, meals and recovery services for his players.
What an a hole. So he is now back in
(18:49):
the NFL yet again, and so we are often running
with Teddy Bee's return, which this is just proof that
if you are respected and a good enough player and
you're not really a pain in the ass, you could
have a job in the NFL for a long ass
time as a backup quarterback. Because he's been doing this well.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Yeah, but he's played well enough when he's got his
opportunities to I mean that's the other piece of it.
You know, if you go in and his age and
things don't go well, that's kind of it.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
So he as a starter had played well enough, and
then he is a backup.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
He's coming and played well enough. But I still go
back to why he's even in this position in.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
The first place.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
I mean, what a bogus deal that he's providing Uber
rides for kids and you know, recovery and meals and
he self reports it and then they they suspend him
for it.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
It's just it's ridiculous. And I know there's other coaching,
but oh, it's a level playing field. The rules or
the rules.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Go see what some of those kids are living through
down there in Miami. Like the kids he's coaching, what
they're dealing with, it's not the same as other places.
Like sorry to break it to he's impacting these kids'
lives and then they get punished for it because now
he's suspended and he can't.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Be their coach anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, it's not much to add to it, but I'll say,
you know, still gets an opportunity to play in the league,
be a backup to Baker Mayfield, which I think we
all would agree. I think I think Tampa is going
to be a pretty dog on good team this year.
I think they're trending up for certain in terms of
(20:28):
being a competitive team.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And then as far as him not being the coach anymore,
getting catching that suspension, it does seem kind of you know,
I'll say, I know, the rules are the rules, and
I get that, and I understand that, but I'm with
you on that queue Like some of the things that
these kids are are living through. If you knew, you
know how critical it was for them to have somebody
(20:55):
just care about them. I know it sounds crazy, but
just somebody care about them in that way, you know,
kids that can't privileged kids be needing assistance. Like, Hell,
my kids called me all the time to hit me
up for food. I'm apple pang all the time for
my kids to get food. So imagine, imagine if you
(21:18):
come from a situation where you don't have that type
of you know, support. Maybe you know your parents love you,
but maybe they just don't have the resources to be
able to take care of you. And literally some of
these kids be hungry, like literally like Trisha was making.
She would make pasta throughout the week and send it
(21:39):
with man to school just so kids would have food
to eat, Like, so should you know there had been
a punishment for that. It's just, you know, to me,
I think that, you know, you got to always look
at the welfare and the well being of these kids,
and sometimes that supersede saying that this is an enterprise
(22:00):
appropriate benefit for what you have going on.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
But and isn't he coming out of pocket for this too?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Like that's not yeah, I can that's not no, You're
not getting to write that off on your expense report.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
What if who cares if he's coming out of pocket
and he's helping somebody out and he's not, you know,
gassed him up. I just I don't understand. It doesn't
make any sense to me. But you know, he must
have pissed somebody else off, or somebody else must have
tipped somebody off and he had to self report afterwards.
I just it seems a little odd. But it does
(22:34):
bring up.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Uh but congratulations, I mean, yeah, it's the opportunity to
get back in the league.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's good. It does bring up a game that we
need to play here, all right. So Teddy Bridgewater has
been in the league for a long time, ten years.
This now makes the seventh team h that Teddy Bridgewater
(23:02):
will have played for throughout the course of his career.
Brady Quinn will go one at a time, name a
team Teddy Bridgewater is played for him. We'll see if
we can guess all these. I'll try to go in
chronological order. So I'll go with the Minnesota Vikings. That
is correct. The Minnesota Vikings is correct. He was drafted
(23:22):
by the Minnesota Viking.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I don't know what teams he's played for, really, No, Well,
I'll pass.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I assume this list includes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That
is correct. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are correct. Now the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers that you're going out of it. That
was like the low hanging fire. Okay, fure I just
got pick off there.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Okay, the next one where he started to kind of
revamp and and get more of the uh. I guess
the title of a backup, but a very formidable one
is New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
That's correct. The New Orleans Saints are correct. So that
is is that it.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
There's two there's there's two places that most people are
going to forget. But remember that rule first.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
One. Yeah, okay, that's that's the second U two. There
you go.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
When that rule first got the Carolina he was his quarterback.
Keep on as a free agent, trying to figure figure
that out.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
That is correct. Now there's two teams remaining.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Yeah, Miami is the one that is correct, and then
obviously the Detroit Lions that is correct.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Recently, Yeah, we'll have played for three of the four teams.
I'm looking at you. You didn't look that up. No,
I have to train a little bit with Teddy, so
I've kind of followed him and follow his career. He's
a really good dude.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
He found that to be a tad bit perplexing that
you would know that many teams off the top of
your head like that.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
No, I'm just you're.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Kind of like rain Man bro, like farty, definitely farked.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I feel like I'm slap happy right now? Are you?
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Did you guys mention panthers?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Yeah, that's the whole Matt rule explanation. That was the
quarterback he brought its free.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Okay, thanks, and then he was on the Jets just
for the off season as well.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Just now, what do you think Lee was doing at
that time, Brady that he.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Wouldn't Well, I heard broncos, but I thought it wasn't
emmonia tablets.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I know that smelling salts that you that you brought
might be smelling, just might be natural smelling. So you know,
hay Lee, what do you think the difference between yesterday
and today? I was like, honestly, not.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Turn your mic on Lee. The computers was the biggest thing.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Turn your mic on.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
Lee.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
They're like an old married couple, bro.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Because he's not yeah he's not doing yeah, but it
is delivery Wednesday, so.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Enjoy Why you can't. It was running crazy yesterday too,
he was. It was all the way in effect yesterday.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Lee.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
We would appreciate you just for more honest about it.
Just just just help us understand what we're doing. It
was o d last night. Damn.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I was frantic. I was a chicken with my head
cut off. Yeah, I was upset. It's frustrated while under
the influence.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I remember the I remember the first time I came
in the studio because Jonahs always like, oh, I get
in early, I do this now. I was like, okay,
so I went in early before Jonas, who doesn't get
in there that early.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
But I said to him, I go, is something awful?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
He's like no, he's always like this. I was like,
it just feels like he's not processing at a very
fast speed.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Riding tank early in the morning over here, Brady Lee,
I think you do a great job. Thank you, Jonahs.
Appreciate that. Jonahah. You know the coffee doesn't quite hit
until the show starts. But that's why I come in
super early.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
But oah, you can't drink that coffee that we have here.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
It's pretty gross.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
It's not really Thanks guys, That's what I do. Press
play every day the hell Snort. So yeah, that'll uh,
that'll that'll wrap up our coverage of Teddy Bridgewaters. That's
a great segment. Yeah you got Jonas.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
I mean I look at this sometimes I'm thinking this
has to be Jonas Jonas.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Lee.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Did I put the Teddy Bridgewater there? No? I didn't. Yeah, Lee?
Was there a lot on this one? Did you want
to fill in anything else more? We got?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Oh, yeah, I wanted to put Jerry Jones. Jerry talking
about Micah yesterday.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
That's probably a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
This is this is like a hard shift real quick,
thirty thirty. I mean, come on, that's heart shift. Yeah,
let's do it. Let's let's just hard shift Johnas. Yeah,
hard shifted.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
All right. So from Teddy Bridgewater Clutch who did sign
a contract, to Michaeh Parsons who's looking for a contract extension,
we go all the way from Tampa at to Knox SNAr.
We have the sound where Jerry Jones from Knox Snort
was talking with Jane Slater about the situation involving Michaeh
Parsons and exactly what what's gone now, what currently is
(28:30):
happening in But it's Jerry Jones, we got it. And
Jane Slater, let's talk about the negotiations real quick.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
It's my understanding nothing was put in writing.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
So how would you describe a deal getting, so to speak,
done and then walked away from I bought to Dallas
Cowboys with a handshake, took about thirty seconds and gave
the number, shook hands. The details we worked out later.
As a matter of fact, one of the details in
bob a lot of money and we had to flip
(29:01):
a coin over that. But the fundamental I'm buying and
you're going to sell it to me for that range,
that's done and those are done with eye contact or handshake.
So is there to just show you understand why I
the way that I communicate with people that I negotiate with.
So let's leave it at that. There is no question
(29:24):
that in the case of a player or contract, you
have to have it in writing. All parties do we
have a contract in writing, Yet we're still talking about
and renegotiating it so so much for.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
That is it coherent?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It seems coherent, But I wonder is it coherent because
let's be clear, like that type of deal while it
has existed spit on the hand, you know, shake hands
on it and stuff like that. It's just not it's
not real. Stick to think that killed it.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yea, lawyers killed it a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, so you can't. That's a hard it's a hard
example to use. Wow, there's legitimacy to what he's saying.
That's a way different time in place, a different era
and time. To use that as your your reasoning or
your justification of what's going on right now, well.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
One, it's not even I mean technically true. I mean,
at some point you may have verbally negotiated the price
for it, and the guy wanted to sell it, but
there was a team of people behind that who went
through drafting what that purchase in sale agreement looks like
and all the stipulations and clauses everything else in it.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
So he could say whatever he wants to the media.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
And this is why we're talking about it right now,
because he's been able to completely monopolize the media during
this time of year and get people talk about him
talking about the Dallas Cowboys when in reality, he knows
the truth and they'll get a deal done at some
point before the season starts. Once you know they get
serious about wanting to do this deal. I mean, hell,
(31:10):
maybe he's doing Michaeh. Parson's a favorite, you know, maybe
maybe he's keeping him out of you know, camp, so
he gets into the regular season healthy, he plays seventeen games.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Maybe in the end, you know, Mike's gonna get what
he wants. He's gonna get to the season healthy, and
Jerry gets what he wants. Everyone's just talking about the
Dallas Cowboys the whole time.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
She pointed out in the interview, did Jane Slater that
Ceedee Lamb's deal got done August twenty seventh, Dak Prescott's
got done like September tenth, And she was like, you know,
is there any sort of timeframe? And it just illustrates
how long he waits, Like the Dak Prescott deal got
done during the season, like the season had already started.
(31:50):
So I just I wonder, and you mentioned, look, I
don't know if he's going to be there week one, Like,
if you're Micah Parsons, do you just all right if
we're gonna wait this thing out, or does he just
have to deal with this and then come out week
one and just hopefully he's ready to go and he
doesn't suffer an injury.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I mean, if it's me, I did everything, he's done
everything the right way.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
In my estimation so far.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I think the proper approach would be Okay, I tried
to hold out for this contract. I wanted this to
be a situation where either you compensate me or you
trade me. I'm going to play. I am going to play,
but just understand that. You know, now the rules and
(32:42):
the parameters of our engagement have totally changed. Like I'm
playing more so as I'm going to try to raise
my value. I'm not going to play badly, poorly to
hurt you. I'm going to play my ass off so
that I can put myself in a better position. I mean,
(33:03):
I think that's got to be the right unless you're
just willing to sit out. But that, to me, I
would play. But just the relationship, the trust, the it's
literally just business at this point, and to me, I
feel like that's that would have been the beginning of
the end anyway, So where you go from there is
what I would say.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I mean, Hassan Reddick did it last year not playing
and just didn't play, And if Michael Parsons. If you
believe what he said in his statement, I don't want
to be a Dallas cowboy anymore. So just don't play,
don't show up.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, you're you're scheduled to make over twenty what twenty
five twenty twenty million this year. Yeah, I'm gonna go
ahead and play. I'm gonna still play. I'm not going
to not collect my money. I'm going to do myself.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
A gigantic insurance fallsey And then you know, he puts
himself in a position very similar to Dak, right, you know.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I mean, although Dak got.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
Franchise tagged multiple times and he wasn't a first round pick,
so a little different as far as the timing of it.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
But I'm just shocked Jerry always lets it get to
this point.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I mean, you've seen him now for four years, and
you know the cheaper route is signing him earlier, and
it's a prime position. It's just it's crazy to me.
He's been doing it for so long, he should know better.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I feel like he's got to He's got a formula
down and he sticks to his formula, and he doesn't care.
He doesn't care what the media says to him. He
doesn't care what he says to the media. Yeah, glory
whole all day. I just when I heard Brian Schottenheimer
(34:52):
speaking on it and he was like, I fully expect
Micah to be here. We need Michael Parsons, I felt
like that gave that gave like a spoiler alert. But
I do not believe a new head coach under the
type of you know, pressure to be a winning coach
for the Dallas Cowboys would be coming out and saying
(35:15):
we expect him to be here and fully anticipate, you know,
we want him here. I just don't think that he
would go out there and do that in the midst
of Jerry Jones and the Jones family negotiating his contract.
It makes me feel like the conversations are being had internally,
Brian Schottenheimer knows that it's just going to be them
being patient and going through the process and micahd gets signed.
(35:38):
That's what it made me feel. But that came from
listening to Brian Schottenheimer in his statements, not so much
from Micah or from the Aenny Joneses.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
That's why I would ask Jerry, I just say, listen,
is it time for a new job? Then It's time

Speaker 6 (37:05):
There are some good things that happen, and there's some
bad and then there's some downright ugly things.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
It's time for good, bad and lovely all right.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
The lab, what do we got?
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Well, as we do each and every week, we start
with the good and you know it's a good week
because Brady's delivering those goods.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Oh hell yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:25):
Okay, So I will go back to last night because
as you guys you know, always have to hear.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
And listen to him.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
Event there's just always an issue. There's always an issue traveling.
So I get to the hotel I'm staying at for
the college football and NFL seminar for Fox and they
tell me that they sold my rope. Oh no, they
chalked it up as a no show because I got
in so late. Now there's an issue with this. We
(37:54):
have to have specific rooms, as you guys know, because
of the hardwired Ethernet connection for all that stuff. So
this became a bit of a problem. And obviously there's
no one for my tea that was at the hotel
at that time. So they were taking a while to
fine day room since they were ninety nine percent occupied
and then it had to be one that had in internet.
So long story short, fortunately for my guys, Alex Sean,
(38:19):
our guy Kiras, we were able to make it happen.
Took a couple of hours, but otherwise we have been
sol So thank you to those folks. They were the
good for me this week making the show happens.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Yeah, better than good. That was great, guys. From good
to bad? LeVar, what was bad this week?
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I got two things and it just very briefly, very quick,
and everybody knows Flying Dale, does you know? It's just
not a good deal. I think it's bad that that
these things are happening at our WNBA games, you know,
and Michael Parson's not getting his deal done yet.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I just think it's bad. The longer it takes, the
worse it seems.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
And while it maybe all is forgiven and after they
get a deal done, I just feel like damage that
you can't be repaired is taking place right now and
for what, you know, what are you getting accomplished by
doing that? So those are my two bad things for
the week, dildo's and deals.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
And from bad to worse? Jonas, what was ugly?
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (39:23):
The Cubs. They're just brutal, absolutely brutal. Nickeled and dimed
it at the trade deadline, had an opportunity. We're leading
the division for majority of the year, and now the
Brewers are running away from them. They're imploding. Craig Councils
taking starters out of the game immediately, the relievers giving
up runs, they're getting hit, they're getting hit hard, they're
(39:44):
not hitting. There's just holes in the lineup, up and down.
It's terrible. It seemed like a real promising year. It
seemed like one that could result in the division championship.
But unfortunately back to the same old, same old. As
long as they get your money walking through the door
at Wrigley Field, they couldn't give a rip about what
happens when the walk out, and it was just the facts.
(40:04):
Jack tired of this. Craw Mike drop. Enough's enough, our
three next get hum
