Speaker 2 (00:30):
Now let's get this party started.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's that moment, man. You got issues, dude.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's that song that makes you think about every bus
ride you took, every time you saw your teammate win.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Can I be honest, man?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Every time you ran a win sprint with your team.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
But this makes me sad. Like, it doesn't make me.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's reflective.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, but I'm saying it makes me miss it.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Like, it's sad. Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well, it's not meant to be sad. It's not meant
to be sad. It's meant to be reflective.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Man, I try to tell people all the time, and look,
we obviously were lucky enough to play at high school, college,
NFL levels.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
There is nothing like.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Playing with your boys in high school.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
That feeling, that sense of community, everything else that goes
along with it. I try to tell the kids now
that I'm talking to a coach, I'm like, dude, enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Soak it up.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Like you should be diving headfirst into this thing, man.
Cause this is this window of time in your life
where you will look back and say, that was fun.
That was incredible. That was like one of the best
times ever. That's what, like being with your boys, the
guys you grew up with and getting to play the
game of football.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Same friends I've had for over 20 years. Same guys.
All for that. And I was terrible. But, yeah, that
was one of the great decisions I made was playing,
even though I wasn't very good and way undersized. Just
building those relationships and getting that experience is awesome, man.
And when you mentioned, LaVar's talked about, you know, the

(02:11):
smell of the hot dogs or the burgers on the
grill when you walk into a high school stadium, like
all that. Yeah, there's something different about that. Bro, the band.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Like, my teammate, I keep telling y'all about my teammate.
He went back. went back to our school and his
coaching he sent me a swag i unboxed the swag
pack that they sent me he he's a program builder
man but it really it's interesting i chose this song
before that but i was thinking about that that time

(02:41):
as as q mentioned so well i mean man the
memories is this like that song like it really makes
you think about those specific moments like You forget along
the way the specific moments. Like there being, you know,

(03:01):
that morning dew on the grass. And you got to
come out and you smell the grass. And you hear
the banter before you start stretching for, for the practice
and stuff like that. Like the way you felt. Cause
it wasn't always good. It wasn't always like, Oh, I'm
so happy to be here. This is high school football.

(03:22):
This is great.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Like it wasn't always, it was like, I'm sore. Then
you start thinking about like what the lunchroom was like.
I can remember what the lunchroom smelled like when we
went there for lunch during training camp. I can remember
what the ladies, the lunch ladies look like who were
there to serve us and feed us food. That song

(03:46):
right there, it could be considered to be sad. I
just feel like it forces reflection. Every time I hear
that song, it just makes me think of really detailed moments.
I can recall us winning when we won our state title.
You know, I can think, I can remember the, like

(04:08):
when I'm hearing that song, I can remember the bus ride.
I can remember things I looked at on the bus
when I was in the ninth grade on the way
to mansion park to play against central bucks West. Like
I can remember it. But anyways, we say we were
doing football themed. So I figured I'd give you the
one I listened to. I do a lot of work

(04:28):
listening to that song explosions in the sky. Um, I
think it's your hand in my hand or something like that. Anyways,
I listen to that while I'm playing chess or doing
work while I'm at home.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
So I just figured I'd share it with you guys. Yeah,
because you mentioned the bus rides and all that. And
the thing about it is that professional truck and bus
drivers train for thousands of miles. But even the best
drivers need more space to maneuver their long vehicle around
the tight corners. So hang back. Give them extra room
to turn safely. Stay clear. Stay safe. America's pros rely
on you. Paid for by FMCSA. Way to turn that

(05:04):
into a, a live mention. Thank you. I was having
a real emotional moment. You just going to turn it
into a lot. You mentioned the bus rides. I just want,
you know, give them a little love. There you go. Um,
they matter. All right. So here we go. Uh, Daquan, right. Uh, who, uh,

(05:24):
was one of the players who was trying to, uh,
trying to get back into things, uh, trying to get
back to the, uh, to the college football world because,
you know, there was an opportunity there. Uh, LSU thought that, uh,
they could, they could go ahead and pull this off. Um, Apparently,
they are not happy. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, is not happy.

(05:46):
He and Xavion Harris were the two guys that were
potentially going to join LSU as of about a week ago.
Now they are not. The rosters are closed. And so
Drew Rosenhaus was on the Pat McAfee show starring A.J.
Hawk and had this to say about the situation.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, Daquan's in limbo.

Speaker 6 (06:05):
Listen, objectively, I can't blame LSU. Lane Kiffin To his credit,
he fought hard to add Daquan Wright. But the pressure
from the SEC was unrelenting. I mean, they were threatening
and still are.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Expulsion.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
They filed a lawsuit against Lane Kiffin, NLSU. I believe
he was served with a lawsuit. There was just too
much at stake for LSU. They really wanted this to happen.
And Lane, I don't want to speak for him, but
what he shared with me, he feels terrible for Daquan
because he's the guy that, in my opinion, has done

(06:42):
nothing wrong. He was told by the courts he could
go leave and play at LSU for a lot more
money and then go back to the NFL after that.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Seemed like a no-brainer.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I was supportive.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
And then the SEC steps in and they pull the
rug from underneath them. And I can't fault the young
man because he was just following advice from the courts
and his rights. I do think that his lawyers are
looking at legal action now. potentially against the scc we're
keeping him out of lsu.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Um they are in kind of a crap spot i
do wonder what what.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
I love i love drew rosenhouse though whatever he gets
a chance to chime in you know i don't know
something about it he just sounds like an agent you
know like you could do a reality tv show i'm
sure they put a lot of content like he just
sounds like an agent it's great he does a good
job he's an agent.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I mean, what are they? You know what I'm saying, though, right?

Speaker 5 (07:39):
It's like there's certain people who come out and they're like, yeah,
it sounds like you're an agent.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I don't know how to describe it. I don't want
to say it compared to a used car salesman, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, the way he times it.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
But you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, I do. Exactly what you say.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
If Jonas isn't chiming in on it, because I think
he's like, no, no, I know a lot of people
like that, maybe.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't know. No, I just, you know, my agent
doesn't operate that way. I trust my agent. Okay.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Now we have to go into this.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I trust my agent.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
What?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
What's the issue? What's your agent's name? What's his name?
Her name.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Jack Hamby?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Jack.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Jeez.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Here's what I want you to do, Jonas. Look down
at your left hand.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is it Jill?

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Is that who it is?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Dang. It was one of her sisters, I believe. Dang.
All right. Now, what happens here with Taequann Wright? He
watches football. So he's just screwed? So he gets sold
a bill of goods, and then he shows up, and
next thing you know, he's on his ass looking for work?
Do you think he was going to make the team, Brady?

(08:45):
The pro team? In the NFL? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
I think at minimum he would have been a practice
squad player. I mean, I think he would have been
up at maybe he would have.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Made some team. I don't know that he would have
made the team. I couldn't say that.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I don't think I don't think he leaves if he
knows he's making the team.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Probably fair.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
But again, what NFL franchise is going to give you
any sort of guarantee? There's not many unless you're drafted
at a certain spot or you've done so well that
there's no doubt, which I believe there was a period
of time, too, where he faced injury, so he missed time.
So I would, again... To that point, I would agree.
I think there was no guarantee he was making that roster.

(09:27):
I just don't know if someone else might have saw
enough or liked him enough to maybe make theirs or
if there's a depth issue.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
But I also don't know this.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
I don't know if he would have stayed on their
practice squad if they wouldn't have paid him what you'd
be making at league minimum if you're on the active roster.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
That happens at times.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
So there's also that potential where I don't know what
he was told he'd get paid or what he was
looking to get paid at the college level, but he
might have been missing out on being able to stay
up with an NFL team and make essentially what he
would have been making had he made an active NFL roster.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I think that's why Drew Rosenhaus said more money in
his explanation. Because I think they probably realistically were looking
at it like you're no better than a practice squad
player right now at this point. So why not go
get more money from Lane and at LSU and Try
to get your, you know, get your draft stock up

(10:23):
or or reframe yourself for.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
So he couldn't he couldn't go back in the draft.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Go back into the draft.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
OK, well, whatever it is, build his value back up
for for the league. You can go make more money,
try to play for a national title. You're going to
get impactful reps. Like, why would you not? Why would
you not try to do that? If I could go
make more money and make myself more attractive for an

(10:51):
NFL team next year and I get to play ball?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Do you think, and maybe they don't care at all,
but do you think that decision makers in the NFL
or people in the league look at a guy like
Daquan Wright and go, oh, you. You. And we know
you and it's sort of kind of they kind of
dismiss him because you're the guy who couldn't cut it here.
And you tried to go back to college.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't think that he should be villainized for something
that existed for him to have the opportunity to return
back and play. Like you can't you cannot hold that
against him if he saw that as being a better
option than what he had in front of him. I mean,
if you that's that's like a reprieve, so to speak.

(11:36):
I get to go back. Show that I can play
at a dominant level at college level, get paid more
than I get paid where I'm at right now. Currently,
I don't think he should be villainized for that. I
don't think he's the bad guy in this. He shouldn't
be made to be the bad guy or all of
this opportunist or something to that effect. The law said

(11:58):
what it said, and it said that there were a
certain amount of players that applied to this exception. And
he's one of them. And I think that's probably as
far as it should go. I don't think the NFL
should hold anything against them. I don't think that the
NCAA should have a problem. Nobody should have a problem
with any of those kids that have the opportunity to

(12:21):
have come back to be eligible to play one more year.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's not on them. I mean, all right.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I just felt like there was a plan in place.
You hold it against him? Well, I just feel like
there was a plan in place. I feel bad for
the guy. I really do. Because I think he left
under the assumption, yeah, maybe I'm going back and it
might be looked down and frowned upon, but at least
there's a paycheck on the other end. Is it frowned
upon in context?

Speaker 5 (12:49):
So here's what I'd say about what could get interesting
about the situation is if Daquan Wright was truly enticed
by Lane Kiffin, and it sounds like Daquan Wright and
his attorneys are going to try to go after the SEC,
which maybe that's the best route to go. But I
wonder at some point if they don't point at Lane Kiffin.

(13:10):
And they don't say, well, hey, hold on a second.
You're the one that enticed us to try to do this.
And now we're not able to. And we weren't able
to win legally versus the SEC. And we weren't able
to gain back any sort of eligibility. So now we
find ourselves in limbo, in large part because you convinced
us to not stay up at the NFL level. That
we would have an opportunity down here that you'd fight
for us and all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Well, you were wrong. And there's probably correspondence that they
could go back to.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
So I do wonder when if Lane Kiffin would ever
have the crosshairs pointed at him by Daquan Wright, depending
on how this whole thing goes. I mean, would you
guys not hold that against a coach if he tried
to convince you, like, hey, come on down here. We've
got this much money for you. I would be frustrated
by it. I'd be like, well, man, you sold me a–

(14:00):
Bad Bill of Goods.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
And that's and you know that it was Lane Kiffin
who was the one who sort of pushed for this. Like,
you know that he was like he was the one.
Those guys probably had no idea. It's not like those
guys hired lawyers on their own and said, hey, look
at our possibilities. Lane Kiffin reached out to them and say, hey,
I think I got a plan here. What do you
guys think? They join under the assumption, under the false
pretense that we're going to be there and we're at

(14:24):
least going to get paid and then we'll go try
our shot at the NFL next time. And he's not
eligible to return back to the league this year, correct?
Or is he?

Speaker 4 (14:33):
He could.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
No, he could. Okay.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
He should be a free agent.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
If he can return back to the league, then there's
no harm, no foul. But that's why I asked the question.
Is he now sort of... dismissed by people in the
league because, well, dude, you're the guy who went back
to college.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
We don't have time.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I mean, I would find it to be a tad
bit intriguing. Lane Kiffin thinks that this kid is good
enough to help his team, bring them back and help
the team. You're not bringing them back to sit on
the bench if you're bringing them back from the NFL
to do it. I think it makes any of them
that got called back, it makes it intriguing. He coached him.

(15:16):
There's a relationship there. There's a familiarity. And there is
clearly a value connected to Daquan. So I don't think
that the pros are looking at it like frowning upon him.
I think they're looking at it as, is this somebody
that we're interested in? Like, would we be interested in him?
If one of your tight ends goes down, whatever it

(15:37):
may be, are we interested? And is he the first
guy we're interested in? would he have been on somebody's
practice squad? That becomes the question. If he gets signed
to a practice squad, I wonder, is he not, and
maybe you can answer this, Q, is he not trying,
or is Rosenhaus not trying to seek practice squad berths

(16:02):
right now because of him maybe holding out hope that
he could still play at the college level in this
college season, or how does that work?

Speaker 5 (16:13):
I'm sure he's talking to the NFL teams, too, and
seeing if there's a spot. I mean, what would most
likely happen is because he didn't play as much during
the preseason due to injury. And with this whole situation,
they'll most likely bring him in for a workout. They'll
look at his medicals and and then they'll try to say,
all right.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
This guy looks healthy. He looks good.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
We like him.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Let's put him on our practice squad. You know, there's.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
There's that sort of stuff that goes on. And then
they'll watch him practice for a few weeks. And if
they feel like he's a legitimate guy, then they'll keep
him on the practice squad. Maybe they give him a
pay bump. Maybe they can bring him up to their
active roster. You know, it may take a team that's
banged up at the tight end position.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
It all depends.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
I mean, that's the thing is we don't know what,
what teams, how they view their roster internally in the NFL. And,
you know, I think you've probably seen it enough and,
When you play quarterback, you're always in the facility. So
on the off days, you see guys that are constantly
being brought in to work out.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
That's the one thing I'll say about.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
the NFL that I find interesting when people make comments
just about, you know, the roster or whatever else, like
these front offices do everything they can to find talent,
wherever it may be. And that could be an older
player who's out. That's coming back from an injury and
they'll sneak in.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
And do a workout.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
That could be a younger player who showed some promise,
but you know, for whatever reason, it could have been
character issues. It could have been injury issues or, Because
of their past, they've had so many that they're a
bit of a risk. And so the contracts get tough
because the waivers they put in for different injuries.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
There's all sorts of different issues.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
But every single off day, which used to be the
Tuesday in the NFL, you would.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Have guys coming and working out. You'd have guys at
every position.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
Yeah. And there's usually be, it could be a quarterback,
it could be wide receivers, it could be running backs, etc.
They always are trying their best to make sure they
can fill whatever back end of the roster they can
for depth and make sure they can find maybe a
diamond in the rough. So that stuff goes on and
he'll have those opportunities. Drew Rosenhaus has those relationships where

(18:21):
I'm sure he can get teams to take a look
and they trust him because he's got so many other
players too that are in the NFL right now.

On the eve, or I guess hours before the New

(21:37):
England Patriots opened up the season in Seattle last night,
A report from the New York Post came out that
Diana Rossini is planning on telling her side of the
story when she does ultimately obtain her next job opportunity

(22:04):
covering the NFL season. And she's apparently got offers as she's, uh, mulling, uh,
over several offers from several outfit, uh, outlets. Uh, she
is expected and it is possible. She expects to add
more than one gig to her resume, uh, in the
coming weeks or months or who knows, but pretty soon here,

(22:27):
old Diana Rossini who stole the show from, uh, a
scandal standpoint in the off season is expected to be
back out in the public eye and ready to get
back to work. So I don't know if you get surprised. Oh, sorry.
I don't, I don't know if this warrants, you know,

(22:47):
a round of applause for LaVar who called his shot
and won the bet.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
But not really a win. It's still, I mean, it
could turn into a bigger story. I thought it'd be
a bigger story than this. So I was going to
ask you guys this. It's two questions for you.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
The first is, if.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
You are her, given how this has probably impacted your
own family life, personal life, and then obviously your professional career,
are you jumping back into this this season?

Speaker 1 (23:15):
No.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
I told LeVar this yesterday. You'd never hear from me again.
If I've got the financial well-being, and she's like, I
think her husband is a top executive at Shake Shack.
If I've got all of that, knowing what I just
went through, put my family through, I got young kids,

(23:35):
they're going to hear all about this stuff. Keep me
as far away. I'll go move to a farm in Iowa.
Leave me alone. You would never hear from me again, ever.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
I think that's a hard one because I feel like
looking at the way Mike Vrabel has handled it, it's like,
what's the big deal?

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Moving on. Like whatever it was that happened, it happened.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
And we're just, you know, we're focused on what's in
front of us. So I think it being so normalized
and so marginalized and its impact and effect on Mike
Vrabel probably made her like, why did I leave my job?

(24:22):
Why am I not doing reports? What if some way, somehow,
they've gotten far enough away from this where it's like,
you know what? The report is closed. I got a
chance to hear what the Athletic is going to say.
They said there's nothing that could kind of nail down
the idea that something inappropriate took place, but yet you're

(24:42):
going to have an opinion about it and say, now
reading back on them, you're a little weirded out or
whatever it is. But there's nothing really tremendously damning about
the findings, right? So understanding that there's nothing really damning
about the findings, she can say what she wants to say.

(25:02):
And she's going to be the only one that has
the account and the credibility to say what it is
that took place. And I can 100% tell you, well,
I can't tell you 100%, but I would 100% assume
she's going to come out and she's going to say
they didn't do anything inappropriate.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
And there's not going to be anyone to hold her
accountable or say that that's incorrect. Everybody's on the same page.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
That was my next question was there's the other side
than this of what is left there for there to
be said.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
And people will say, well, she's going to tell her
side of the story.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
I would imagine, though, if you're getting back into all
of this and if you want to try to keep
any sort of credibility. To make people think that moving forward,
when you are talking to another coach, when you are
talking to another player.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
That something isn't going on.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
That she's not going to be able to say exactly
what happened. And I think regardless of what she says,
we all saw what took place and have an idea
of what took place.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yeah, you have an idea, but you don't know for
certain if it went any further than them holding hands
and looking at each other in the eyes.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Really?

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Really, LeVar?

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Hey, look here. And think about how many. Hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Hold on now.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Hey.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Listen to me now.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'm just saying, how many other people is she protecting?
I feel like, and for what it's worth.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Hold on, hold on. Address what you said first. Do
you really think it stopped at the gazing into each
other's eyes and the hand holding?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
No! Okay. But she's going to say it, dude. And
how do you confirm it?

Speaker 4 (26:52):
But that's the other thing is like... Hey!

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Hey! Hey!

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Whoever the next employer is, if you are.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
just doing this to get a bump off of like,
everyone's going to want to hear what she has to
say for that initial release of her side of it.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
But then it kind of goes nowhere. Then it's like, okay,
back to her doing what she does and reporting NFL
and getting inside information and all those things.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
And she's still going to get it because of all
the people who would, who would give her anything at
this point, everybody that she didn't tell on. I don't know, man.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
There's a lot of wives out there who might be
giving some side eye now.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Who do you do that interview with? You don't think
they were giving her the side eye before?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Not as bad as now.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
If it was a different side eye, now it's like, no,
you don't talk to her.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Depending on the credibility of the publication, unless this is
a setup for her to do her own podcast, which
that's what I would assume, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
But it's going to get picked up by somebody. Her
days of breaking stories as a reporter are done. I
don't think so. Those days ended when she was going
to the lumberyard on that rooftop in Sedona or whatever.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Her body of work is her body of work, and
she has been accused of being that person before this happened.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yeah, but that was all sort of underground stuff.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
That wasn't mainstream.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, that's like because... We're around NFL circles where you
can't see.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
We all knew that.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Those photos did not show Mike Vrabel bumping and grinding
with Diana Rossini.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
That's why we were so prepared to talk about it.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
There is no confirmation of the bump and the grind.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I mean, look... I find it hard to believe that
anybody in the NFL, a coach or anybody... I find it.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Hard to believe that the coach or anybody should be
respecting the coach or anybody after getting caught up doing
that with an insider.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
As a reporter. How are you going to take any
report that comes out serious?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
How are you going to take Mike Vrabel coaching the
New England Patriots serious?

Speaker 2 (29:05):
And all that's fair, but she comes out with a story,
it's like, well, you know... This is also the same
woman who got throttled by Vrabel. This whole conversation comes
up every time.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
So Vrabel just gets to be the guy that throttled
her and just go on with his life like, oh.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
We're moving on.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Maybe this was passionate lovemaking.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Hey, they held hands. A name, Michael? Throttled. They held hands.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Didn't have to be NASCAR in there. Listen to some
R & B. Lorraine, could you set the mood for us?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh, yeah. Let me see what I can pull for you.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
It could be some R & B and some candles.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Tank!

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I just think, and also, she's going to tell her
side of the story. We saw your side of the story, okay?
How did you see her side of the story, Jonas?
All the pictures.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
What do you think was going on there? Why is
that her side of the story? Why isn't that Mike
Vrabel's side of the story? You sound like a chauvinist, bro.
I'm just saying. You need to stop attacking Diana Rossini.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
I like Diana Rossini.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Did you see those photos? We know your side of
the story.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Meanwhile, you got Mike Vrabel right here on television right now.
You know what he's not talking about? Them photos. Okay,
but what did she get? What is his side of
the story for the photos? Because he hasn't told a
side of the story. No one's really told the full story.
There is no side.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Their sides.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
This was a music I called for like a minute ago.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
This would have been great.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Like two minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
We're going to throw on the love music and love
making music and the friendship music. You want to know
the truth?

Speaker 2 (30:48):
I'm going to name my son after you. There you go.
You want to know why?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Diana Rossini said. You want to know why she said what?
You want to know what the wish was?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (31:01):
When Mike Vrabel closed his eyes and made the wish,
the wish was I can get through this without losing
my job. Either that or I could get rocked by
a cactus patch in Arizona again.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Take your pick. Ouch. I'm telling you, man. What is
she going to say? We know.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
We saw the pictures. Do you know what she's going
to say, Jonas? Listen to what I'm saying to you, doc.
His wish is her command. He already knows her side
of the story because it's both of their sides of
the story. That's why he's not saying anything. There's no
reason for him to say anything. She set up to

(31:41):
say the story the way that she wants to say
the story, and they're on the same page of what
the story is.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
There is no sides of the story.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
She's going to deliver a story that is acceptable on
both fronts.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Why would you want to bring this back up? That's
what I don't get.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I think she wants to get back in. Lorena did.
I believe Diana Rossini.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
And Mike Vrabel understood at some point that Diana Rossini
is not done being a reporter, being a media content creator.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
I ain't done winning yet.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
She ain't done winning yet. And let this thing die
down a little bit. I'm going to tell everybody I'm
moving on. Give it a little time. You come out.
Your story is compelling. It's going to get everything. Tell
me who isn't going to listen to what she has
to say when she gives her side of it.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Yeah, but what do you think she's going to say?
It doesn't matter. Are you going to listen to what
she's got to say? Are we going to talk about
what she has to say? You're going to get that
initial pop, and then afterwards, all right, what? But she's
got a chance. All right. She's got a chance. How
many people get an initial pop? And look, if she
ends up working here at Fox Sports Radio, welcome in.

(33:12):
No judgment here. Why would you judge her? I don't.
Are you judging Mike Vrabel? She went above and beyond.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Why shouldn't she have the opportunity to continue doing her
work at the level that she's done it at if
Mike Vrabel is allowed to continue to do the same?

Speaker 2 (33:29):
What's the difference?

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Exactly. What's the difference? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
I'm just saying, what is the difference? You know what?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Mike Vrabel then told the whole world. They said, what
about Diana Rossini? I'm moving on. That's behind me now.
He still ain't came out and said, I tapped that ass.
He said, I'm moving on. It has been minimized. Why
you got to jump to conclusions like that? Because he
didn't say it. I jumped to a conclusion. You jumped

(33:58):
to a conclusion. We all jumped to a conclusion. No
one has ever confirmed that he tapped that ass. And
she ain't going to confirm it. And neither is he.
And he's moving on. So why does he get to
move on? We're talking about a game played last night,

(34:18):
the rematch of the Super Bowl. These two teams look
to be two good teams. And we're talking about the
football game. And you know who the coach is on
one of them sidelines?

Speaker 2 (34:32):
The guy that was with Diana Racine.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah. And Diana Racine doesn't even have a job now
because she stepped away. She stepped down to go be
with her family because of all of these wild ass
aggressive accusations about what happened. I'm going to set the
story straight. Yes, I was there with him in Sedona. Yes,
I did an interview with him. Yes, we got a

(34:57):
little personal and he grabbed my hands, but that's just
the relationship we had. It's a playful relationship, people. Everything
doesn't have to be about humping and pumping. I'm a
reporter and I'm an insider. I've held a lot of
coaches in GM's hands and owners. I've held a lot

(35:18):
of their hands in my hands. They've looked at me
and said, Diana, this is what it is. And I
looked at them and said, I'm going to report it
the right way. She's going to set the record straight.
And she's got the relationships to do it. There's a
lot of people out there that she could probably, just
like she did with that officer.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
You see who's on my phone right here? Hey, who
do you think about the quarterback? I'm sorry. I was
looking at some breaking news. That too. She knows people, bro.
That also. Who would ever give her any bit of
information knowing she would just name drop into a cop?
The same people.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
The same people that she protected and didn't put out
there are the same people that are still going to
talk to her.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
And that's why she's doing it.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
You don't think she already confirmed that she has her
same sources in play before she does this? If she
didn't have the sources in place, she didn't have the
work that she could put in right now, like after
she does this, getting the record straight, why would you
even do it? There's no reason to do it if
you don't already know you can deliver the goods of

(36:21):
what you've been delivering. She's already had this conversation. Diana, again,
if you're with us here at FSR.

Speaker 2 (36:27):

I sent you a text message. Yeah, I got a
couple minutes. I just wanted to ask the question, is
the league getting buried here that there is a growing
population of male cheerleaders joining the league? cheerleading scene at

buried i mean we hear everything going on with the
wmba and you know equal rights and all that.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
What I mean?

Speaker 4 (40:02):
I've got enough film to watch.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
I can't be watching the sidelines and the cheerleaders, male
or female, at this juncture.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Is that a real thing, though? Is that really happening? Oh, yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
It's a real thing. Yeah, nobody's perfect. What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (40:19):
You know what I think we're never going to see again?

Speaker 3 (40:21):
What?

Speaker 5 (40:22):
Given LeVar's latest revelation is that security guard for the
Chargers playing.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Oh, never. You're going to see more of that.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Never, man.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
That guy was a dying breed. Did you not?

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Did you not see the video I sent y'all? He's
going to be doing that even more so watching that guy.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
That Chargers security guard was a dying breed, man. He
was pumping a shotgun in his pants. Now, you're just
a creeper. Damn. That guy was multitasking.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Those days are dead.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
That's unfortunate, man.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Oh, man.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
That's so good.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
That's so good.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
