here again on this three hour journey here on a
Tuesday morning, or excuse me, Wednesday morning. Sorry I crossed
up the days here showing highlights of a Braves picture
holding a baseball hitting some guy in the head, I.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Mean bust him upside the hit and got away with
it too. They tackled him. Yeah, he was trying to
get that. He was trying to get that nice clear
entry in there. You couldn't get to it, though. We'll
get to it quick enough. You know.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
It is a it's a special week here. This is
a week that is a tradition. It's one of the
great traditions in all of sports. Oh my gosh, Levart's back.
Oh hmm, I wonder.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
If LeVar I'm soakod buddy.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I wonder if Tiger was pounding this over his booming
system when he flipped that bitch over when he was
this the song that was playing.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Well, here's the thing about the players is they don't
hear this song because they're actually they're playing in the tournament.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So, oh, I don't think he knows this. He doesn't
know this song. He knows this song?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Do you think? So?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
One? He was playing it in his call.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
God, I can't wait to watch it. It's like his
It's like it starts today Jonas and sort of, it's
like his Michael Jordan music when they brought the Bulls out.
This is like, this is Tiger Woods music.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Today's what the Part three challenge is that what it is.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, which is what players and families y goops around,
has a has a fun time.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It sounds so fun.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Let me say this, LeVar. I know, I know you're
trying to not get into this. If you get invited,
you gotta go. It is as like nice of an.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Experience as you will ever find in your life.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm Var will not get any things to the Masters.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
That's not true.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
You've got plenty of buddy supers I'm certd and plenty
of buddies who go.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You're just seem bad at.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I got plenty of buddies.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Okay, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (03:04):
That doesn't matter what background, what race, for religion, they
all go. I would say this about the Master.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I have white friends. Yeah, I have white buddies too.
You know I'm not going to the Masters, doubt there.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
There are a few things in life that you see
on TV and are as advertised. Remember I told you
guys about the Rose Bowl, the whole, the whole thing,
Like when the Rose bulls not filled up with fans,
it doesn't quite look the same. Churchill Downs, Like we
all tune in and we watch it during the derby.
Go for a race, that's not the Kentucky Derby. See
(03:42):
what that place looks like. Okay, saying no, no, the
people are what make it. I would say the same
about Augusta to a degree, but I've been there. I've
had the fortunate opportunity to play it. That place is immaculate.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
God, I want to go. It is so freaking nice.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Thank your wife and your kids.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
She's getting in I think she's getting in money.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I mean that's when I said it.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, about that day out there road trip.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You're gonna walk through the metal detector, not go she
walked through.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's like, are yours? I guess, ma'am. Leave the trays
there comes all right?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
How how much would you guys say?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Tickets are to today's practice and Part three?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh god, yes, fifty dollars ticket twelve.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
So all right, now these aren't secondary Marcus, because there's
a lottery system. There's so much demand that you can't
really get those tickets. If you were to buy thirty
six hundred dollars to get in today, jeez, yes, today,
just today. Now, if you want a two day pass,
I believe starting Thursday and Friday, you would be paying
(05:03):
close to twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So thirty six hundred dollars to see VJ. Singh's niece
hit a Ball out of the Sand.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
If you want just a one day ticket, I can
find you a ticket for eight over eight thousand dollars
for Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I'm doing a cruise with Penn Staters on the third
through the eighth of August. That will cost way less
than that. Lord, come hang out with me.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I want to go, Yeah, come hang out now.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
That will not fall into the category court or being
as advertised like this is.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
This place is so nice?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Oh I don't know about that.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
It's so nice?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Okay, So can I ask you this because I've never been.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
But and this is not me trying to insert any
sort of home rism here, but I feel the same
way about Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
You see it on TV. You go there and it's
just as cool.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Is it similar to that to where you get there
and go wow, it's represented really well?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I would say, I would say this for you. It is.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
It is that for you, and you could turn it
up a notch like it is even better than you think.
I mean, there's not like a blade of grass that
is not cut perfectly manicured, and trust me, like I
spray the golf ball. So I tested out that theory
and it is I mean the entire grounds at that place,
(06:23):
and it is massive.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
What does it mean that you spray your golf ball?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Like you don't hit it straight, like you're you're hitting
it left, you're hitting it right, You're hitting it, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
A hole over.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
I think I actually when I played it the ninth hole,
I don't know that I ever hit my approach shot
from the actual fairway of nine.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
So okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
What shots out to the masters? I mean where you
think where to be watching it from?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
By the way, can we save that clip that LeVar
just said we et that and bring that back?
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Can can we pick up names?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, we're gonna pick names out of that. Now do
we want to do it? Uh today? Or maybe do
it tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
What do you think tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
We're going to do this again?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
We're going to start Yeah, yeah, we are.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
What time do they start tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
They don't have an air check on how long you're
allowed to play this song in particular, like you could
just play this one for the whole entire segment.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Based on what you told me. We we do on radio,
I'm I'm so I don't know anything.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Now here's the hard part is that believe the first
group tease off tomorrow at seven forty am.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Okay, so we got to bang it out before seven forty.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You have to be before that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know, we can't use certain terminology apparently during this
show in particular, you have to be very careful. I thought,
well Rave Braves and and Rasshini, they they they set
a tone for this show where we have to be
very very aware of what it is as we're using
terminology wise today just for today though, you know, apparently
(08:05):
from Jonas Knox. That was from Jonahs. I just you know,
I didn't look apparently, I don't know what you can
say on radio these days.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh my gosh, why do you got me? Sounded like that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Because you sound like an old like like.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
White ass.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
No, I wasn't gonna say that.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
You bro.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You're so undercover man, But maybe you're not undercover. I
don't know. Maybe people know this is you're weird. You're
weariness surfacing sometimes. Man. I don't judge you though you're touched.
I just love you, but you you're definitely you're definitely
on the touch scale. Well, everybody on the show's touched. Well,
(08:47):
we started to show off with touched. Yes, you know
literally and figuratively. You wake up at one in the
morning to go to work, you are touched. You're touched
to still be listening to this guy. Dang god awful music.
It's soothing, all right, it's funeral home music.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
But let me give you some let me give you
some cool. Well, this used to be the case. There's
just some cool stuff that goes on on the Masters.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
So there's an area called the Crow's Nest. And the
Crow's Nest is like this basically dorm room for lack
of a better term, that's like up on top. That's
that's the highest I guess you'd say rooming on the grounds.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
And it's typically where amateur stay.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
I don't know if they still do to this day,
because all these guys, you know, at this point they'll
stay in a hotel or something to try to get
better rest. But you do have a couple like cool stories.
There's an amateur he's nineteen years old out of Tennessee.
His name is Jackson Harrington. They call him the Fridge,
Like yeah, exactly. So you know, there's there's a bunch
(09:49):
of different guys. There's an eighteen year old high schooler
from Georgia. He's going to the University of Georgia, but
he's also one of the amateur's gonna ge a chance
to play it. I believe he's paired up too with
Rory McElroy. So kind of a cool deal for an
eighteen year old to play with one of the best.
But those guys typically they used to all stay up
there's an amateur dinner and then they all stay up
(10:10):
this crow's nest together.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
But if you go up there, it's it's there's dividers.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
It's not like you have closed off rooms like there's
a table in the center to play cards or whatever,
but there's then there's kind of just sectioned off, like
five spots for different beds, and that's how that's that's
where the amateurs.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
At least used to stay, and I don't know if
they still do.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So you're like at like a penitentiary or.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
It's nicer accommodations.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You're in a pod pop.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
A nicer accommodation. That's what it used to.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
A right.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Also, last thing, no amateur has won the Masters since
Fuzzy Zellar.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Since Fuzzy came.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Up at yeah wow.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yeah, but excuse me one it who played it as
an amateur, but he I believe won it as a
pro So excuse me if you're not saying that properly.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Now we do have our defending champion, Rory McElroy, who
is shown up and looks much more relaxed and relieved
now that he is one of the masters, and he
gets to pick the master's dinner, and so we do
have the dinner here for those that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Did talk to me.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Bacon rap dates. Now here are the appetizers. Bacon rap
dates inspired by his mom Rosie, who made them a
lot when he was little.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Bacon wrapped date. Yes, the dates, Diana, you can say
that those are Those are called the Sidona dates. Peach,
I mean I could get it when you wrap they can?
You know? Anyway? Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Peach and ricotta flatbread pays tribute to Georgia. Grilled elk
sliders are in honor of McElroy's protein of choice leading
up to his win last year. Now, the first course
(12:24):
is yellowfin tuna carpaccio. I think I said that right.
It's a dish replicated for McElroy's favorite New York city
restaurant place I can another place I can't name attendees,
We'll get to choose between a wagoo, filet mignon or
(12:47):
seared salmon. The traditional Irish champ is the first side,
something McRoy says he used to eat by the bowlfol
as a kid.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Absolutely nothing traditional about any of those wall that's that's leading.
You're just rich as hell your whole gad, it's.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Leading to the bigger point we're gonna hear from Roy,
who explains why these were his choices. But the dessert
is a sticky toffee pudding.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Oh that sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
McRoy referred to it as a crowd pleaser. The wine,
because McElroy is particularly passionate about wine, he went with
a few selections that reportedly have four figure price tags.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Now there's a white wine.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
It's called a twenty twenty two domain laflaive but tard Montroche. Okay, never, man,
you probably can't find those of a total wine. If
Brady's in there with some guy in a fake French
accent and three kids, I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Just talk about elitism, man, holy mold, Now, like, does
it get any more elitist?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Screaming eagle on there, high priced one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Oh my god, I don't see any screaming eagle.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
But there weren't people you know that were probably listening
to the menu and wondering, Man, this guy's Irish.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I mean, they're not serving a Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No bangers and mash. No, what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
And uh Rory McElroy explained his decision no ribs. Rory
McRoy explained his decision on the menu yesterday.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Also wanted it to be something that all the other
people in that room but enjoy as well. People keep
asking me why didn't you go.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
More Irish, and I said, because I want to enjoy
the dinner as well.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, oh man, food's not that bad, I mean a great.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
It's I mean again, we didn't eat Irish food, though, Jonas,
we went to a steakhouse.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
We went, I went to a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Hold on, Brady, have you ever had an Elk slider?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Actually, I've got a buddy Elitis Jonas elk slider.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Whoa, whoa, whoa Elk.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm talking about Elk fighter.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
This is coming off as a little bit of ignorance
because actually who I got it from was a buddy
who went hunting and he obviously got the meat froze it,
and so he's been eating elk for like the last.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Two years because it's a massive animal.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
But yeah, that's not like just at all, ever ever
partaking an elk.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
No, I have not that exotic animal.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You have elk No, I have not.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I just don't. I'm not saying that it's a I'm
not saying it just sounds like elk is you were.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Actually what you're doing in this moment is you are
throwing out your pa roots out the window. Because many
people who have hunted before or live in rule.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Spots had elks fantastic go venison and you're all l
a now where you are completely la.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You've gotten soft. Speaking of if you are looking.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
For rooting for someone, there's a guy named Brandon Holtz.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
He's about he's a he's a Remax broker and he's
also one of the he's also one of the amateurs
playing in this remax. All right, Yeah, he's a real
estate broker, but he he's been grinding in his spare
time on mini tours as a.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Pro, grinding time by holes.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Get some swing's going while you're you're getting those homes
out to be shown and.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Sold homes by Holtz call me this weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Can just be swinging while I wait on you.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
You know, so if you want, if you want someone
who's relatable, who's probably sat on the couch watched it
with you, being like, I wish you could plan that.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Brandon Holtz a thirty nine old mid amateur. He'd be
the guy root for.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm certain he'll be confused when he sees them elks.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
You know what, Hey, I got something LeVar might like
on this menu, and I'm taking even a deeper dive
with the wagou Filet mignon or this year.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Don't don't do it.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
That's the way he says. Mignol.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't do it, Jonas, I know what you're about.
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I mean, my wife said, hey, you want prime rib tonight?
I said sure.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
There was a plate of hot dogs, so what do
I know. Sauteed Brussels sprouts love it. I love Brussels
laized carrots with brown butter.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I'm not mad at that. And crispy onion rings.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I'm not mad at I'd be living in that area
right there. That's where I'd be living. See, he knew
to think of people like me. There's gonna be someone
like LeVar in the room. And here here's his part
of the here, it's part of the menu right here.
I'm gonna take that steak, even though it's a filet mignon.
I'm more of a I'm more of a porter House
(18:00):
type of guy, you know, like it on the bone,
give you a little flavor, you know what, need a
little marbling there. Love going Pittsburgh style with it. I
want it moving on the inside, but I wanted Crispy
Chris Chris Chris burnt.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
On the out.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It's just I want it. Get some of them brussels
and I'll definitely throw down some of them Monium Marnes.
Done done, And I'm okay with those carrots too.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Guy, wash it down with a nineteen ninety Chateau Lafitte Rothschild.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Now, I'm gonna just go with some water. Just give
me a little ice water, you know, but make sure
my cup is plastic and it's it's it's blue.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Hey, Brad, you gotta give me credit. Man, I've come
a long way. I didn't butcher that many of those names.
Like I've done worse than your past.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Well you didn't skip them over either, like nel, So
that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
An easy one too.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
How you.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Like that blows my mind.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I would skip over.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I wasn't because it was there was a mistake made
on the coffee. I didn't want to read the line
and screw it up. And I knew that we were
doing it. I knew there were six other times we
were gonna read it, and I knew we needed to
save one of them.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
So I was like, I'll just clarified during the break
and then I'll do the other ones. Here we go professional.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Are you guys good with Rubik's cubes? I feel like
Q growing up was good with Rubik's cubes? Could you
do them? Were you able to go through them?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Just take the stickers off and put them outsewhere? Oh god,
who didn't do that? Oh God, what a waste of time?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
By the way, you are so doing only because LeVar
has never ever had elk.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I've actually looked up areas around where he lives. Wild
Fork foods.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
You can get elk there, the butchery quality meats you
can find it. There are Manhattan meats you can also
find it there.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Eight wild Fork's not bad. They freeze every they freeze everything,
and they I've got any type of meat, seafood you
can think of.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You know, I made some snapper last week, did you
head on and everything? We're fresh out made some I
didn't send jab pictures.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
No, you kept the head on.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh yeah, that weirds me out. That's that. Yeah, that's
my eyeld background.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
Yeah, that sounds like some elitist stuff, you know, keeping
the head on that, that's like a it's like a
fancy restaurant thing.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Really, Mexican restaurants. You gotta get some riscos. Keep the
head on, stares at you the whole time. Pretty sure
one of them threw up a gang sign at me
when I really Yeah, it's just weird.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
How many how many main entres can you remember? They
keep the head on for like a fish, maybe a.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Pig, thanks lard, No thanks man. They're looking at you.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah, it's weird, man.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And their eyes are open the whole time.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They are open.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Can you like cover them up like an oyster cracker
or something.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Look made me some rice that looks good cabbage? Yeah,
I'm there, look there, they are finished.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I mean it looks good. I just can't say I don't.
I don't want to be looked at, well, well that's happening.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You didn't take you I did end up taking their
heads off though, Okay, I sucked them though, okay, suck that.
I'm back out, suck them completely, back out of this.
That's the donut fish. Huh, that's the donut fish man
sucked the meat right off. I don't even know there's

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Your level of touch, it's beyond measure.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Bro. By the way, we were talking about the Masters.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
We are gonna have our Midweek Awards coming up here
in about fifteen minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That'll be the good, the bad, and the ugly right
here on FSR.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So are we getting closer to having some sort of
some sort of clarity or understanding as to what you
can and can't do when it comes to college sports?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Because President Trump signed the Executive Order of Urgent National
Action to Save College Sports and Intervention. This, according to
CBS at the highest level, aimed at federally regulating nil collectives,
limiting transfer movement, capping player eligibility, and enacting funding requirements
(24:05):
for the Olympics and women's sports. The White House announced
this past Friday. So does that mean we are getting
a step closer to everybody being on the same page
and we can all just start focusing on the games,
the teams and that stuff as opposed to the legalities
and the battles in court for guys that want to
(24:26):
come back and play football for an eighteenth year.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Are we getting fun?
Speaker 4 (24:30):
No?
Speaker 6 (24:31):
No, because this will be probably challenged in court, and
it's just pressure on Congress to try to come in
and give the NCAA the you know, anti trust exemption
to allow them to negotiate some of these things without
being suiting court and losing because they've got a terrible
record at this point. But I think one of the
other things, and I've heard some different coaches speak on
(24:53):
this in regards to and you know, the maximum five
year participation window. That's one of the things that I've
heard Center talk about it, Tommy Tubberville in particular.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
I mean, heck, I've even tweeted at.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Him because what I was hoping would come from all
this and it isn't really mentioned at all or as
a part of this, is that there's some sort of
tie to the educational component, and there really isn't.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
In this case. It's it's all about sports.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
It's all about the money involved, it's about the transfer portal,
it's about you know, cracking down collectives, you know, making
sure that that women obviously their sports and Olympic sports
are funded. All that is outlined in this, but it
doesn't still have this educational component.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
That plays a role.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
And that's really where in my mind, you get the
four years of eligibility from you know, you had four
years to graduate from college, and if there was a
red shirt year, or if there was a medical exemption,
you know, you would be granted an additional year for
those purposes.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I like that setup because I think it still.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
Keeps this the student part is part of how this
is all supposed to work hand in hand. Yes, there's
the athletic component, but there's still the educational component. You
should be aiming to try to get your degree in
four years, if not sooner if you can. And that
fifth year was you know, relegated for someone who needed
the time to develop, right, they weren't ready right away,
(26:24):
or they had a medical issue, right, So those two
things kind of made sense as to why you were
granted a fifth year. The fact that this is, you know,
now a five years to play five I understand that
there became very nuanced about the red shirt rule. You know,
it got to the point where you know, you could
play up to what four games, and then you could
play in the playoffs or in the postseason, and none
(26:44):
off that would count.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
So you could have.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Players legitimately play eight games in a year and actually
not have account against their eligibility. And so then that
became an issue, Like my whole thing about the eligibility
of all this is at some point and we're seeing
in college basketball we just talked about this with a tournament.
You're getting guys who've literally prayed professional basketball elsewhere coming
(27:07):
back into college to try to play. And it's really
not about the educational component. It's about money. They're just
trying to make money. And so if that's what this
is about, ultimately, just money, then have football and basketball
break away from the NCAAA, like, stop trying to intertwine
the two, stop trying to make these decisions that govern
(27:27):
all sports, Women's Olympic, everything else. If really we're talking
about two sports, it's football and men's basketball that are
driving all of this, have it break off and making
its own thing, because then we don't have to worry
about the nuances how we go about doing this, and
we can figure out how we want to run those
professional sports leagues and we can still maintain I don't
(27:49):
want to say amateur status because you know, maybe there's
world's too where you're gonna get other sports that are
making money in nil, etc. But at least they're not
being subject to the rules changing for two other sports.
That's in acting their lives, their athletic experience, their educational experience.
So that's kind of what I hate about all this
is it's it's a typical political move. It looks like
(28:09):
they're doing something, but in reality, I'm not sure it's
gonna change or get anything done.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Uh So I'm looking at some of the highlights. The
eligibility limits, as you mentioned, the maximum of five years
participation that window.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I really do like five years to compete. Like, I
like that makes sense. Transfer restrictions limit the athlete the
one transfer with a media eligibility during their five year window,
with a second allowed after obtaining their four year degree.
I'll take that only way. Only reason why I would
(28:54):
say maybe this one could get a little bit maybe sketchy.
You need have provisions in there if a coach left,
If a coach leaves and you just transferred, that coach
recruited you there, it was based off of your trust
of the situation and what was was sold to you,
and you want to leave, you should be able to leave.
(29:17):
That's that's what I would say. And as far as
like the protection on non revenue sports, like what you're
saying is interesting, Like if these you know teams were
to break off and become their own own entities, and
and what that looks like business model wise? How are
(29:39):
these other sports going to be funded?
Speaker 5 (29:43):
Is the funded the exact same way they are now?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Explain you.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
You just license it, so there's a licensing agreement to
use the brand, the logo and all that. It's paid
back to the school and it helps fund it. I mean,
it's it's not that complicated, Like there's worlds you could
get this done. Because think about it, like what's supporting
those sports existing right now?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
None of them make money, right, It's it's the it's
the revenue that you generated off of generally football seasons, right,
So if you take.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
That you to keep, well, you take it away, but
you're you're just really providing it in a different manner.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
That's all see to me.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't think that should be what it is because
I feel like separating means separating. If you separate football,
then the money that is generated by.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Football, and then and then if I'm the school a city,
you can't use our team logo everything else.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
You got to have a new name.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
If that's the case, I think that that becomes a
pretty messy situation because sure, and that's.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Why it would work with just saying all right, you're
licensing it out everything else. It's just an extension of it.
No different than athletic departments now who have created their
own LLCs, like Kentucky has done this for example, so
they technical are running their athletic department now as a
separate company university.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
It makes sense what you're saying. I mean, if you're
going to charge them to be able to operate and
activate and use the brand of the school, then you're
going to pay to have it. I get that.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
But even with that and facilities and everything else that
goes along with that, right, and you know maybe there's
there's a cut of the gate and concessions and everything
else that goes along with that. I mean, remember you're
if you're going to break off this this new quote
unquote league, what a lot of people imagine is like, oh,
they're going to find a new destination or facility.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
It's like, no, you're still using the same facilities.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
And remember these are stadiums that in many cases they
have classrooms in them, so that they could take some
of the money that was given to the university but
then still apply it to athletics. That's why a lot
of these, you know, huge stadiums that get built and
are redone. You know, I don't know that Penn State
has done that. Maybe they have classrooms somewhere in the stadium,
or maybe they are with what the renovation they're doing.
(31:58):
But that's how they get underneath that, guys. I'm just saying,
surely athletic spending.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I know Arizona does that, Like guys stay there and stuff,
like their dorms are in their.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
No, there's a lot like that. I mean, Cincinnati's like that.
I know Notre Dames like that. They've got some classrooms
and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And I don't think that's sweet. I think that's airy.
What are you kind of like weird? I don't know.
I don't want to sleep in the stadium.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And where's your class at the stadium?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Dude?
Speaker 6 (32:23):
There's an entire rec center in Notre Dame stadium, pad
ass No, Like there's an entire like workout track, Like,
I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I don't have a problem with a worked out facility
being in the stadium. I don't have a problem with
a track being inside the stadium rehab center. I have
no problem with that, But going to class there or
living there, No, just just that's not my cup of tea.
That would be kind of weird to me. You want
(32:53):
the separation separation between because I'm a student in state,
I am a student, Like, don't totally segregate me as
an athlete. Like I am a student. I do have
friends and people that I deal with that aren't just
my teammates. I would want to get a school experience.
But with that being said, with that being said, well,
(33:13):
yeah I stayed. I stayed at Porter Hall my freshman year.
That was like that, I'll come well, because you're you're
trying to grow up and figure out social skills and
stuff like that, like that to me just comes across
as a different level of control, Like I'm trying to
control every single thing you're doing. I want to monitor
(33:35):
every single thing you're doing. That's a whole other conversation.
I'm just for me. I'm just saying, when I look
at the idea of what what this exact, these executive
decisions have been made in order to try to save
or or deal with what comes what's coming down the lane.
There is no way to avoid that. These are employees
(34:02):
there's no way to avoid it, and it can be
avoided for as long as people want to avoid it.
For it can be a conversation that people dance around
for as long as they want to dance around it.
It's fine. But the reality of it is is that
if college athletics, the schools, the governing bodies, the conferences, whatever,
(34:27):
if they do not get to a point where they
acknowledge the fact that this is now a pro model
that has to be implemented and acknowledged, then you're not
acknowledging that there needs to be a proper approach to
how you're going to execute and do things within a
pro system. And I think that that's where this is
(34:51):
going to continue to fall on its face and it's
going to come up short, and things are going to
get messier and they're going to get ugly because the
business of it has to be looked at as this
is the business of it. It is not sure athletics.
I mean, it's not student athlete. It's not stop saying
student athlete.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Well, and that's and that's why I said, like, there
is no educational component to this. The only thing they
really mentioned in regards to graduate you know, graduate, undergraduate graduate,
the transfer transfer, as far as eligibility to transfer and
all that. There are issues though even in that model
you're talking about, we don't have time because repent. The
one thing I just say is like everyone thinks, like, oh,
makeing an employee. Okay, Well then you're gonna have to
(35:33):
have collected and bargaining. You're gonna have to have a union.
If you have a union, then who's negotiating on their behalf?
Is it a strong union?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
You know?
Speaker 6 (35:39):
You look at for example, the NFL, and and I
think we degree it's the weakest of all of the
professional sports unions. And so that becomes then a concern
moving forward, Like we think there's a world that moving
to a professional model ends up providing the resources and
a better world for these student athletes, and really it
just probably provides more money for the top one or
(36:00):
two percent or a world for them where the rest, Like,
I don't know that it's the best thing for them.
You know, maybe it is, maybe it's not. You know,
we'd have to see how that would be formed. But
there again would still be potential issues. You know, how
it's gone would be issues.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, and there's no way around that. But you can't
not acknowledge the fact that the issues you're going to
deal with are going to come. And sure, and there
has to be an evolution of how the business is
done at the college level, and.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
That's fine, but I think the educational component still what
gets me is we're basically just saying to these kids
who decide to go into sports, go in, uh, but like,
don't prioritize your education. Don't prioritize that development. And that's
what kills me the most is because there's gonna be
a lot of kids who get done playing who all
think they're gonna go pro, and they don't go pro.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
They don't make a lot of money. They're gonna be
sitting around looking around going what the hell do I do?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
That's happening with the transfer portal too, before you even
get to the pro level. There are guys going into
the transfer portal that are having those same conversations. I
just went from a D one school, a Power Force
Conference school, and now I don't have a school to
go to at all. How does that work? That's what
you're dealing with. These guys are dealing with those realities
(37:15):
now and if your grades weren't good, then you you
have very limited options. It's a big conversation, but it's
a conversation that will continue to happen. There's no quick
and easy, you know kind of solutions to it.

(39:31):
bad share of far go for it.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Well, I'm gonna just build off of that of what
Jonas just through out there with the raw dog, and
uh yeah, it's just bad that photos can cause such
controversy and so many conversations about what the conclusions are
and at the end of the day, what's something wrong
with what are those conclusions really all about anyway? You know,
(39:54):
I mean it's all about love, I would assume. So
it's bad, but I guess some ways maybe it could
be good.

Oh hmm, I wonder.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
If LeVar I'm soakod buddy.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I wonder if Tiger was pounding this over his booming
system when he flipped that bitch over when he was
this the song that was playing.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Well, here's the thing about the players is they don't
hear this song because they're actually they're playing in the tournament.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So, oh, I don't think he knows this. He doesn't
know this song. He knows this song?
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Do you think? So?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
One? He was playing it in his call.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
God, I can't wait to watch it. It's like his
It's like it starts today Jonas and sort of, it's
like his Michael Jordan music when they brought the Bulls out.
This is like, this is Tiger Woods music.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Today's what the Part three challenge is that what it is.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, which is what players and families y goops around,
has a has a fun time.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It sounds so fun.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Let me say this, LeVar. I know, I know you're
trying to not get into this. If you get invited,
you gotta go. It is as like nice of an.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Experience as you will ever find in your life.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm Var will not get any things to the Masters.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
That's not true.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
You've got plenty of buddy supers I'm certd and plenty
of buddies who go.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You're just seem bad at.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I got plenty of buddies.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Okay, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (03:04):
That doesn't matter what background, what race, for religion, they
all go. I would say this about the Master.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I have white friends. Yeah, I have white buddies too.
You know I'm not going to the Masters, doubt there.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
There are a few things in life that you see
on TV and are as advertised. Remember I told you
guys about the Rose Bowl, the whole, the whole thing,
Like when the Rose bulls not filled up with fans,
it doesn't quite look the same. Churchill Downs, Like we
all tune in and we watch it during the derby.
Go for a race, that's not the Kentucky Derby. See
(03:42):
what that place looks like. Okay, saying no, no, the
people are what make it. I would say the same
about Augusta to a degree, but I've been there. I've
had the fortunate opportunity to play it. That place is immaculate.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
God, I want to go. It is so freaking nice.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Thank your wife and your kids.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
She's getting in I think she's getting in money.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I mean that's when I said it.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, about that day out there road trip.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You're gonna walk through the metal detector, not go she
walked through.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's like, are yours? I guess, ma'am. Leave the trays
there comes all right?
Speaker 5 (04:28):
How how much would you guys say?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Tickets are to today's practice and Part three?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh god, yes, fifty dollars ticket twelve.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
So all right, now these aren't secondary Marcus, because there's
a lottery system. There's so much demand that you can't
really get those tickets. If you were to buy thirty
six hundred dollars to get in today, jeez, yes, today,
just today. Now, if you want a two day pass,
I believe starting Thursday and Friday, you would be paying
(05:03):
close to twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So thirty six hundred dollars to see VJ. Singh's niece
hit a Ball out of the Sand.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Cool.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
If you want just a one day ticket, I can
find you a ticket for eight over eight thousand dollars
for Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I'm doing a cruise with Penn Staters on the third
through the eighth of August. That will cost way less
than that. Lord, come hang out with me.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I want to go, Yeah, come hang out now.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
That will not fall into the category court or being
as advertised like this is.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
This place is so nice?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Oh I don't know about that.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
It's so nice?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Okay, So can I ask you this because I've never been.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
But and this is not me trying to insert any
sort of home rism here, but I feel the same
way about Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
You see it on TV. You go there and it's
just as cool.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Is it similar to that to where you get there
and go wow, it's represented really well?
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I would say, I would say this for you. It is.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
It is that for you, and you could turn it
up a notch like it is even better than you think.
I mean, there's not like a blade of grass that
is not cut perfectly manicured, and trust me, like I
spray the golf ball. So I tested out that theory
and it is I mean the entire grounds at that place,
(06:23):
and it is massive.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
What does it mean that you spray your golf ball?
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Like you don't hit it straight, like you're you're hitting
it left, you're hitting it right, You're hitting it, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
A hole over.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
I think I actually when I played it the ninth hole,
I don't know that I ever hit my approach shot
from the actual fairway of nine.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
So okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
What shots out to the masters? I mean where you
think where to be watching it from?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
By the way, can we save that clip that LeVar
just said we et that and bring that back?
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Can can we pick up names?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, we're gonna pick names out of that. Now do
we want to do it? Uh today? Or maybe do
it tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
What do you think tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
We're going to do this again?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
We're going to start Yeah, yeah, we are.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
What time do they start tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
They don't have an air check on how long you're
allowed to play this song in particular, like you could
just play this one for the whole entire segment.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Based on what you told me. We we do on radio,
I'm I'm so I don't know anything.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Now here's the hard part is that believe the first
group tease off tomorrow at seven forty am.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Okay, so we got to bang it out before seven forty.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You have to be before that.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You know, we can't use certain terminology apparently during this
show in particular, you have to be very careful. I thought,
well Rave Braves and and Rasshini, they they they set
a tone for this show where we have to be
very very aware of what it is as we're using
terminology wise today just for today though, you know, apparently
(08:05):
from Jonas Knox. That was from Jonahs. I just you know,
I didn't look apparently, I don't know what you can
say on radio these days.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh my gosh, why do you got me? Sounded like that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Because you sound like an old like like.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
White ass.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
No, I wasn't gonna say that.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
You bro.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You're so undercover man, But maybe you're not undercover. I
don't know. Maybe people know this is you're weird. You're
weariness surfacing sometimes. Man. I don't judge you though you're touched.
I just love you, but you you're definitely you're definitely
on the touch scale. Well, everybody on the show's touched. Well,
(08:47):
we started to show off with touched. Yes, you know
literally and figuratively. You wake up at one in the
morning to go to work, you are touched. You're touched
to still be listening to this guy. Dang god awful music.
It's soothing, all right, it's funeral home music.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
But let me give you some let me give you
some cool. Well, this used to be the case. There's
just some cool stuff that goes on on the Masters.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
So there's an area called the Crow's Nest. And the
Crow's Nest is like this basically dorm room for lack
of a better term, that's like up on top. That's
that's the highest I guess you'd say rooming on the grounds.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
And it's typically where amateur stay.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
I don't know if they still do to this day,
because all these guys, you know, at this point they'll
stay in a hotel or something to try to get
better rest. But you do have a couple like cool stories.
There's an amateur he's nineteen years old out of Tennessee.
His name is Jackson Harrington. They call him the Fridge,
Like yeah, exactly. So you know, there's there's a bunch
(09:49):
of different guys. There's an eighteen year old high schooler
from Georgia. He's going to the University of Georgia, but
he's also one of the amateur's gonna ge a chance
to play it. I believe he's paired up too with
Rory McElroy. So kind of a cool deal for an
eighteen year old to play with one of the best.
But those guys typically they used to all stay up
there's an amateur dinner and then they all stay up
(10:10):
this crow's nest together.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
But if you go up there, it's it's there's dividers.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
It's not like you have closed off rooms like there's
a table in the center to play cards or whatever,
but there's then there's kind of just sectioned off, like
five spots for different beds, and that's how that's that's
where the amateurs.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
At least used to stay, and I don't know if
they still do.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So you're like at like a penitentiary or.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
It's nicer accommodations.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You're in a pod pop.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
A nicer accommodation. That's what it used to.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
A right.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Also, last thing, no amateur has won the Masters since
Fuzzy Zellar.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Since Fuzzy came.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Up at yeah wow.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Yeah, but excuse me one it who played it as
an amateur, but he I believe won it as a
pro So excuse me if you're not saying that properly.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Now we do have our defending champion, Rory McElroy, who
is shown up and looks much more relaxed and relieved
now that he is one of the masters, and he
gets to pick the master's dinner, and so we do
have the dinner here for those that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Did talk to me.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Bacon rap dates. Now here are the appetizers. Bacon rap
dates inspired by his mom Rosie, who made them a
lot when he was little.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Bacon wrapped date. Yes, the dates, Diana, you can say
that those are Those are called the Sidona dates. Peach,
I mean I could get it when you wrap they can?
You know? Anyway? Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Peach and ricotta flatbread pays tribute to Georgia. Grilled elk
sliders are in honor of McElroy's protein of choice leading
up to his win last year. Now, the first course
(12:24):
is yellowfin tuna carpaccio. I think I said that right.
It's a dish replicated for McElroy's favorite New York city
restaurant place I can another place I can't name attendees,
We'll get to choose between a wagoo, filet mignon or
(12:47):
seared salmon. The traditional Irish champ is the first side,
something McRoy says he used to eat by the bowlfol
as a kid.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Absolutely nothing traditional about any of those wall that's that's leading.
You're just rich as hell your whole gad, it's.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Leading to the bigger point we're gonna hear from Roy,
who explains why these were his choices. But the dessert
is a sticky toffee pudding.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Oh that sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
McRoy referred to it as a crowd pleaser. The wine,
because McElroy is particularly passionate about wine, he went with
a few selections that reportedly have four figure price tags.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Now there's a white wine.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
It's called a twenty twenty two domain laflaive but tard Montroche. Okay, never, man,
you probably can't find those of a total wine. If
Brady's in there with some guy in a fake French
accent and three kids, I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Just talk about elitism, man, holy mold, Now, like, does
it get any more elitist?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Screaming eagle on there, high priced one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Oh my god, I don't see any screaming eagle.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
But there weren't people you know that were probably listening
to the menu and wondering, Man, this guy's Irish.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
I mean, they're not serving a Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No bangers and mash. No, what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
And uh Rory McElroy explained his decision no ribs. Rory
McRoy explained his decision on the menu yesterday.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Also wanted it to be something that all the other
people in that room but enjoy as well. People keep
asking me why didn't you go.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
More Irish, and I said, because I want to enjoy
the dinner as well.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, oh man, food's not that bad, I mean a great.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
It's I mean again, we didn't eat Irish food, though, Jonas,
we went to a steakhouse.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
We went, I went to a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Hold on, Brady, have you ever had an Elk slider?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Actually, I've got a buddy Elitis Jonas elk slider.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Whoa, whoa, whoa Elk.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm talking about Elk fighter.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
This is coming off as a little bit of ignorance
because actually who I got it from was a buddy
who went hunting and he obviously got the meat froze it,
and so he's been eating elk for like the last.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Two years because it's a massive animal.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
But yeah, that's not like just at all, ever ever
partaking an elk.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
No, I have not that exotic animal.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You have elk No, I have not.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I just don't. I'm not saying that it's a I'm
not saying it just sounds like elk is you were.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Actually what you're doing in this moment is you are
throwing out your pa roots out the window. Because many
people who have hunted before or live in rule.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Spots had elks fantastic go venison and you're all l
a now where you are completely la.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You've gotten soft. Speaking of if you are looking.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
For rooting for someone, there's a guy named Brandon Holtz.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
He's about he's a he's a Remax broker and he's
also one of the he's also one of the amateurs
playing in this remax. All right, Yeah, he's a real
estate broker, but he he's been grinding in his spare
time on mini tours as a.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Pro, grinding time by holes.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Get some swing's going while you're you're getting those homes
out to be shown and.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Sold homes by Holtz call me this weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Can just be swinging while I wait on you.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
You know, so if you want, if you want someone
who's relatable, who's probably sat on the couch watched it
with you, being like, I wish you could plan that.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Brandon Holtz a thirty nine old mid amateur. He'd be
the guy root for.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I'm certain he'll be confused when he sees them elks.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
You know what, Hey, I got something LeVar might like
on this menu, and I'm taking even a deeper dive
with the wagou Filet mignon or this year.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Don't don't do it.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
That's the way he says. Mignol.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't do it, Jonas, I know what you're about.
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I mean, my wife said, hey, you want prime rib tonight?
I said sure.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
There was a plate of hot dogs, so what do
I know. Sauteed Brussels sprouts love it. I love Brussels
laized carrots with brown butter.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I'm not mad at that. And crispy onion rings.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I'm not mad at I'd be living in that area
right there. That's where I'd be living. See, he knew
to think of people like me. There's gonna be someone
like LeVar in the room. And here here's his part
of the here, it's part of the menu right here.
I'm gonna take that steak, even though it's a filet mignon.
I'm more of a I'm more of a porter House
(18:00):
type of guy, you know, like it on the bone,
give you a little flavor, you know what, need a
little marbling there. Love going Pittsburgh style with it. I
want it moving on the inside, but I wanted Crispy
Chris Chris Chris burnt.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
On the out.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It's just I want it. Get some of them brussels
and I'll definitely throw down some of them Monium Marnes.
Done done, And I'm okay with those carrots too.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Guy, wash it down with a nineteen ninety Chateau Lafitte Rothschild.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Now, I'm gonna just go with some water. Just give
me a little ice water, you know, but make sure
my cup is plastic and it's it's it's blue.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Hey, Brad, you gotta give me credit. Man, I've come
a long way. I didn't butcher that many of those names.
Like I've done worse than your past.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Well you didn't skip them over either, like nel, So
that's good.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
An easy one too.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
How you.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Like that blows my mind.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I would skip over.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I wasn't because it was there was a mistake made
on the coffee. I didn't want to read the line
and screw it up. And I knew that we were
doing it. I knew there were six other times we
were gonna read it, and I knew we needed to
save one of them.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
So I was like, I'll just clarified during the break
and then I'll do the other ones. Here we go professional.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Are you guys good with Rubik's cubes? I feel like
Q growing up was good with Rubik's cubes? Could you
do them? Were you able to go through them?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Just take the stickers off and put them outsewhere? Oh god,
who didn't do that? Oh God, what a waste of time?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
By the way, you are so doing only because LeVar
has never ever had elk.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
I've actually looked up areas around where he lives. Wild
Fork foods.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
You can get elk there, the butchery quality meats you
can find it. There are Manhattan meats you can also
find it there.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Eight wild Fork's not bad. They freeze every they freeze everything,
and they I've got any type of meat, seafood you
can think of.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You know, I made some snapper last week, did you
head on and everything? We're fresh out made some I
didn't send jab pictures.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
No, you kept the head on.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh yeah, that weirds me out. That's that. Yeah, that's
my eyeld background.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
Yeah, that sounds like some elitist stuff, you know, keeping
the head on that, that's like a it's like a
fancy restaurant thing.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Really, Mexican restaurants. You gotta get some riscos. Keep the
head on, stares at you the whole time. Pretty sure
one of them threw up a gang sign at me
when I really Yeah, it's just weird.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
How many how many main entres can you remember? They
keep the head on for like a fish, maybe a.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Pig, thanks lard, No thanks man. They're looking at you.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah, it's weird, man.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And their eyes are open the whole time.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
They are open.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Can you like cover them up like an oyster cracker
or something.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Look made me some rice that looks good cabbage? Yeah,
I'm there, look there, they are finished.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I mean it looks good. I just can't say I don't.
I don't want to be looked at, well, well that's happening.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You didn't take you I did end up taking their
heads off though, Okay, I sucked them though, okay, suck that.
I'm back out, suck them completely, back out of this.
That's the donut fish. Huh, that's the donut fish man
sucked the meat right off. I don't even know there's
some good meat on there drops.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Just like LeVar, for the ones who get it done,
Grange were offers access to remilian products and a skilled
deliver when and where you need them. The right tools
and supplies like sucking stuff out of things are never
far away. Call Clickgranger dot com or just stop by.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Your level of touch, it's beyond measure.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Bro. By the way, we were talking about the Masters.
You know everything can turn in a moment. In augusta

Speaker 4 (23:24):
We are gonna have our Midweek Awards coming up here
in about fifteen minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That'll be the good, the bad, and the ugly right
here on FSR.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Of course.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So are we getting closer to having some sort of
some sort of clarity or understanding as to what you
can and can't do when it comes to college sports?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Because President Trump signed the Executive Order of Urgent National
Action to Save College Sports and Intervention. This, according to
CBS at the highest level, aimed at federally regulating nil collectives,
limiting transfer movement, capping player eligibility, and enacting funding requirements
(24:05):
for the Olympics and women's sports. The White House announced
this past Friday. So does that mean we are getting
a step closer to everybody being on the same page
and we can all just start focusing on the games,
the teams and that stuff as opposed to the legalities
and the battles in court for guys that want to
(24:26):
come back and play football for an eighteenth year.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Are we getting fun?
Speaker 4 (24:30):
No?
Speaker 6 (24:31):
No, because this will be probably challenged in court, and
it's just pressure on Congress to try to come in
and give the NCAA the you know, anti trust exemption
to allow them to negotiate some of these things without
being suiting court and losing because they've got a terrible
record at this point. But I think one of the
other things, and I've heard some different coaches speak on
(24:53):
this in regards to and you know, the maximum five
year participation window. That's one of the things that I've
heard Center talk about it, Tommy Tubberville in particular.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
I mean, heck, I've even tweeted at.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Him because what I was hoping would come from all
this and it isn't really mentioned at all or as
a part of this, is that there's some sort of
tie to the educational component, and there really isn't.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
In this case. It's it's all about sports.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
It's all about the money involved, it's about the transfer portal,
it's about you know, cracking down collectives, you know, making
sure that that women obviously their sports and Olympic sports
are funded. All that is outlined in this, but it
doesn't still have this educational component.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
That plays a role.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
And that's really where in my mind, you get the
four years of eligibility from you know, you had four
years to graduate from college, and if there was a
red shirt year, or if there was a medical exemption,
you know, you would be granted an additional year for
those purposes.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I like that setup because I think it still.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
Keeps this the student part is part of how this
is all supposed to work hand in hand. Yes, there's
the athletic component, but there's still the educational component. You
should be aiming to try to get your degree in
four years, if not sooner if you can. And that
fifth year was you know, relegated for someone who needed
the time to develop, right, they weren't ready right away,
(26:24):
or they had a medical issue, right, So those two
things kind of made sense as to why you were
granted a fifth year. The fact that this is, you know,
now a five years to play five I understand that
there became very nuanced about the red shirt rule. You know,
it got to the point where you know, you could
play up to what four games, and then you could
play in the playoffs or in the postseason, and none
(26:44):
off that would count.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
So you could have.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Players legitimately play eight games in a year and actually
not have account against their eligibility. And so then that
became an issue, Like my whole thing about the eligibility
of all this is at some point and we're seeing
in college basketball we just talked about this with a tournament.
You're getting guys who've literally prayed professional basketball elsewhere coming
(27:07):
back into college to try to play. And it's really
not about the educational component. It's about money. They're just
trying to make money. And so if that's what this
is about, ultimately, just money, then have football and basketball
break away from the NCAAA, like, stop trying to intertwine
the two, stop trying to make these decisions that govern
(27:27):
all sports, Women's Olympic, everything else. If really we're talking
about two sports, it's football and men's basketball that are
driving all of this, have it break off and making
its own thing, because then we don't have to worry
about the nuances how we go about doing this, and
we can figure out how we want to run those
professional sports leagues and we can still maintain I don't
(27:49):
want to say amateur status because you know, maybe there's
world's too where you're gonna get other sports that are
making money in nil, etc. But at least they're not
being subject to the rules changing for two other sports.
That's in acting their lives, their athletic experience, their educational experience.
So that's kind of what I hate about all this
is it's it's a typical political move. It looks like
(28:09):
they're doing something, but in reality, I'm not sure it's
gonna change or get anything done.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Uh So I'm looking at some of the highlights. The
eligibility limits, as you mentioned, the maximum of five years
participation that window.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I really do like five years to compete. Like, I
like that makes sense. Transfer restrictions limit the athlete the
one transfer with a media eligibility during their five year window,
with a second allowed after obtaining their four year degree.
I'll take that only way. Only reason why I would
(28:54):
say maybe this one could get a little bit maybe sketchy.
You need have provisions in there if a coach left,
If a coach leaves and you just transferred, that coach
recruited you there, it was based off of your trust
of the situation and what was was sold to you,
and you want to leave, you should be able to leave.
(29:17):
That's that's what I would say. And as far as
like the protection on non revenue sports, like what you're
saying is interesting, Like if these you know teams were
to break off and become their own own entities, and
and what that looks like business model wise? How are
(29:39):
these other sports going to be funded?
Speaker 5 (29:43):
Is the funded the exact same way they are now?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Explain you.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
You just license it, so there's a licensing agreement to
use the brand, the logo and all that. It's paid
back to the school and it helps fund it. I mean,
it's it's not that complicated, Like there's worlds you could
get this done. Because think about it, like what's supporting
those sports existing right now?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
None of them make money, right, It's it's the it's
the revenue that you generated off of generally football seasons, right,
So if you take.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
That you to keep, well, you take it away, but
you're you're just really providing it in a different manner.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
That's all see to me.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't think that should be what it is because
I feel like separating means separating. If you separate football,
then the money that is generated by.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Football, and then and then if I'm the school a city,
you can't use our team logo everything else.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
You got to have a new name.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
If that's the case, I think that that becomes a
pretty messy situation because sure, and that's.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Why it would work with just saying all right, you're
licensing it out everything else. It's just an extension of it.
No different than athletic departments now who have created their
own LLCs, like Kentucky has done this for example, so
they technical are running their athletic department now as a
separate company university.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
It makes sense what you're saying. I mean, if you're
going to charge them to be able to operate and
activate and use the brand of the school, then you're
going to pay to have it. I get that.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
But even with that and facilities and everything else that
goes along with that, right, and you know maybe there's
there's a cut of the gate and concessions and everything
else that goes along with that. I mean, remember you're
if you're going to break off this this new quote
unquote league, what a lot of people imagine is like, oh,
they're going to find a new destination or facility.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
It's like, no, you're still using the same facilities.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
And remember these are stadiums that in many cases they
have classrooms in them, so that they could take some
of the money that was given to the university but
then still apply it to athletics. That's why a lot
of these, you know, huge stadiums that get built and
are redone. You know, I don't know that Penn State
has done that. Maybe they have classrooms somewhere in the stadium,
or maybe they are with what the renovation they're doing.
(31:58):
But that's how they get underneath that, guys. I'm just saying,
surely athletic spending.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I know Arizona does that, Like guys stay there and stuff,
like their dorms are in their.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
No, there's a lot like that. I mean, Cincinnati's like that.
I know Notre Dames like that. They've got some classrooms
and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And I don't think that's sweet. I think that's airy.
What are you kind of like weird? I don't know.
I don't want to sleep in the stadium.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And where's your class at the stadium?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Dude?
Speaker 6 (32:23):
There's an entire rec center in Notre Dame stadium, pad
ass No, Like there's an entire like workout track, Like,
I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I don't have a problem with a worked out facility
being in the stadium. I don't have a problem with
a track being inside the stadium rehab center. I have
no problem with that, But going to class there or
living there, No, just just that's not my cup of tea.
That would be kind of weird to me. You want
(32:53):
the separation separation between because I'm a student in state,
I am a student, Like, don't totally segregate me as
an athlete. Like I am a student. I do have
friends and people that I deal with that aren't just
my teammates. I would want to get a school experience.
But with that being said, with that being said, well,
(33:13):
yeah I stayed. I stayed at Porter Hall my freshman year.
That was like that, I'll come well, because you're you're
trying to grow up and figure out social skills and
stuff like that, like that to me just comes across
as a different level of control, Like I'm trying to
control every single thing you're doing. I want to monitor
(33:35):
every single thing you're doing. That's a whole other conversation.
I'm just for me. I'm just saying, when I look
at the idea of what what this exact, these executive
decisions have been made in order to try to save
or or deal with what comes what's coming down the lane.
There is no way to avoid that. These are employees
(34:02):
there's no way to avoid it, and it can be
avoided for as long as people want to avoid it.
For it can be a conversation that people dance around
for as long as they want to dance around it.
It's fine. But the reality of it is is that
if college athletics, the schools, the governing bodies, the conferences, whatever,
(34:27):
if they do not get to a point where they
acknowledge the fact that this is now a pro model
that has to be implemented and acknowledged, then you're not
acknowledging that there needs to be a proper approach to
how you're going to execute and do things within a
pro system. And I think that that's where this is
(34:51):
going to continue to fall on its face and it's
going to come up short, and things are going to
get messier and they're going to get ugly because the
business of it has to be looked at as this
is the business of it. It is not sure athletics.
I mean, it's not student athlete. It's not stop saying
student athlete.
Speaker 6 (35:11):
Well, and that's and that's why I said, like, there
is no educational component to this. The only thing they
really mentioned in regards to graduate you know, graduate, undergraduate graduate,
the transfer transfer, as far as eligibility to transfer and
all that. There are issues though even in that model
you're talking about, we don't have time because repent. The
one thing I just say is like everyone thinks, like, oh,
makeing an employee. Okay, Well then you're gonna have to
(35:33):
have collected and bargaining. You're gonna have to have a union.
If you have a union, then who's negotiating on their behalf?
Is it a strong union?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
You know?
Speaker 6 (35:39):
You look at for example, the NFL, and and I
think we degree it's the weakest of all of the
professional sports unions. And so that becomes then a concern
moving forward, Like we think there's a world that moving
to a professional model ends up providing the resources and
a better world for these student athletes, and really it
just probably provides more money for the top one or
(36:00):
two percent or a world for them where the rest, Like,
I don't know that it's the best thing for them.
You know, maybe it is, maybe it's not. You know,
we'd have to see how that would be formed. But
there again would still be potential issues. You know, how
it's gone would be issues.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, and there's no way around that. But you can't
not acknowledge the fact that the issues you're going to
deal with are going to come. And sure, and there
has to be an evolution of how the business is
done at the college level, and.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
That's fine, but I think the educational component still what
gets me is we're basically just saying to these kids
who decide to go into sports, go in, uh, but like,
don't prioritize your education. Don't prioritize that development. And that's
what kills me the most is because there's gonna be
a lot of kids who get done playing who all
think they're gonna go pro, and they don't go pro.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
They don't make a lot of money. They're gonna be
sitting around looking around going what the hell do I do?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
That's happening with the transfer portal too, before you even
get to the pro level. There are guys going into
the transfer portal that are having those same conversations. I
just went from a D one school, a Power Force
Conference school, and now I don't have a school to
go to at all. How does that work? That's what
you're dealing with. These guys are dealing with those realities
(37:15):
now and if your grades weren't good, then you you
have very limited options. It's a big conversation, but it's
a conversation that will continue to happen. There's no quick
and easy, you know kind of solutions to it.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Well, I'm gonna just build off of that of what
Jonas just through out there with the raw dog, and
uh yeah, it's just bad that photos can cause such
controversy and so many conversations about what the conclusions are
and at the end of the day, what's something wrong
with what are those conclusions really all about anyway? You know,
(39:54):
I mean it's all about love, I would assume. So
it's bad, but I guess some ways maybe it could
be good.
