you here another edition of black Excuse me? Is it
Black and Drag? Sorry, there's so many things going on here,
Black and Track here on a Friday morning, on this
football Friday, four year as we take you all the
(01:41):
way up until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific,
do you want to point out we do have somebody
working through some discomfort. I'm not embellishing when I say this,
because we are going to get to somebody who could
be on the verge of a payday in the NFL
that's not getting talked about. But I'm not embellishing when
I say this. Lee de Lap was physically uncomfortable walking
(02:10):
through the halls based on what he ate last night,
which is a real dicey proposition.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
When you got to be up at one o'clock in.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
The morning for work, Lee, what was the plan of
attack from a diet standpoint yesterday that you were explaining.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Well, yeah, you're you're not lying, Jonas and and and
what a day for the plumbing to be having issues
here at the at the studios. Uh yeah, yesterday was
uh my not my best day. I started off with
a hot dog, I was the fridge was a little
it was a little bear. But I was on my
way to the uh to the movie theater. I didn't
want a movie theater hot dog, so I was I'll
(02:46):
make one from at home. No big deal.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
So did that?
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And I did it in boiling water or on a grill.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Even worse, I did it in the microwave, and I
was out of paper towel, so it was just it
was just just microwaved it right on the like lumped
up to split up, split open. Oh I did. Sometimes
I split it. Sometimes I do a little sleigh. Sometimes
at this time, I did a fork stab.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So I'm just saying it was bubbling up. Though it
definitely bubbled up lee.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Actually, uh no, I have a whole art to it.
I do pretty well no bubbling.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
What brand of hot dog was it?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Was?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
It might have been Hebrew National, Oscar Meyer is the
only way. No, that's incorrect, Absolutely, no way.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I don't want to sound like a douche, but this
is gonna sound douchey. I got organic. We wanted to
have hot dogs for like Fourth of July or Memorial Day,
and I got the organic hot dogs, the uncured be
Oh boy, those are I highly recommend it, highly recommend it.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
A little bit more pricey.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But if you don't eat them that often, you know,
it's you know, no big deal, but very interesting.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
You know what goes in a hot dog?
Speaker 8 (03:55):
Right?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
No, no, nobody knows organic.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I have no idea. The label worked for me. It
felt better afterwards.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Well, what what made the hot dog worse is what
it was? What was going on for the rest of
the day. So after the movie we went down to
the bar afterwards get some some appetizers. I was with Todd,
Todd and another buddy of mine.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Todd and h.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Yeah, these guys order food while I'm in the bathroom
washing my hands, and they get some nachos and some calamari.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
And basically I was left alone with all the halopanos
in the nachos house, that whole plate of nachos.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I was pretty hungry, that wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And then well that was what you weren't done bad though?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That hurts you.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, when you get the whole hal ofpano to yourself,
that's uh, That's what I'm feeling today. And then to
cap it all off, Uh, basically, for dinner, I had
a an Italian sub.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Understand. I like, how do you not know at this point?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
If you got to wake up and call time is
one o'clock, you gotta be up at one in the morning.
You can't eat or partake in the things that a
normal human being can that does a regular nine to
five that's up at say six seven in the morning.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You just can't, Like you're not allowed.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I don't see the issues here, buddy, I thought.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
What do you mean? I just saw you walk through
the hall. He shot you. He looked terrible.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
He was like like doubled over holding himself, talking about
bubble guts.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
At what point are you gonna learn he can't do this?
Speaker 8 (05:36):
League?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, it was a little backed up in there too.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'm getting older.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It is starting to weigh in on me.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Oh gosh, you know, it wasn't my It was kind
of like free food, so I was. I was just
going for it.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It's like when you're a kid, you could eat a
ton of pizza. The older you get what two three slices?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It like crazy? How you watching my kids eat? I'd
be like, how they do that? I used to plow
through two whoppers. I barely make it through one.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Now, like your body literally tells you that's those days
are over. That's not happening anymore. And what makes it
worse is that you got to be up at one
in the morning and still spin in the chamber. Just
just can't help himself. Got to spin the chamber and
see what comes out on the other side.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I did have fast food for the first time in
a long time the other day, and I felt awful
for days.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So, yeah, what what did you have?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Like a big mac?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, okay, put me down.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
When's the last time you had a big back?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Far? Oh? I don't know. When I as a kid.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Probably as a kid, I could feel my side hurting
immediately having one, like right in that spot where you're like, yeah,
something's lodged in there.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's not a good idea. I transit into double quarter
pounders when I was a high school guy. So I
was a double quarter pounder guy with cheese high schooling on.
Even to this day, double quarter pounder. It used to be.
I never mess with the big mac. For some reason.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
You remember that movie Supersized Me, the documentary about the
guy who ate McDonald's for every meal and for.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
That dying, didn't he.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
He did die Yeah, he did die a few years ago,
not related to well, it could be, but not during
this documentary.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Maybe it was lighting off fireworks with nagieras Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
People would always say they'd get sick watching that documentary.
Every time I'd see it, I'd get hungry for McDonald's.
I'd have to pose it, go get McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It comes crazy, guy's how you know you're messed up? Bro?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
There's a scene where the guy throws up outside the car,
doesn't he because he's eating so much?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, and that made you hungry?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Uh huh, because it's addicted. The whole documentary proves the
science of it. How like just the sight of the
cheese heads off.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
The Lee has real problems and they're they're very real.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Everybody else would watch that documentary and be like, yeah,
the dues and don'ts of a diet.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Lee's like, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Let me hit pause.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Only Lee, Well, listen, he is fighting through the paint.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'll give him that.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
So he is here and uh and and battling through it.
So hopefully, uh, hopefully everything is uh good to go
the rest of the show. Here, by the way, speaking
to somebody who's coming back from UH being a little
banged up themselves. Aiden Hutchinson UH the starred defensive end
pass rusher for the Detroit Lions. He's on his way
back from that nasty leg break against the Cowboys last year,
(08:49):
and he talked recently with Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports
about his recovery and where he's at at this point.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
I'm exactly where I need to be, and every year
I've been able to improve on my own physical attributes
as long as the are along with the mental ones.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So I feel like every year.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
I take a step, and despite having that rehab this offseason,
I feel like I'm in the perfect spot and exactly
where I need to be going into year four.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
So we can all agree that the notion that had
the Lions made the Super Bowl, he was going to
be ready for that Super Bowl was completely ridiculous, Like
that there was a chance he might be ready to
go for the Super Bowl like that, I would I
would actually put that up there with Aaron Rodgers returning before.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
The end of the season with the achilles stuff, because.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
If he's still battling through it and you know now
he's good to go, all these months later, the idea
that he was actually going to be able to play
in the Super Bowl had the Lions got there. I
mean that there's hope, that's a very optimistic outlook, but
it just doesn't feel like that was ever going to
be in the cards at all for him.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't really know where that came from. That was
a gruesome, gruesome injury and that was going to take
a ton of time to bounce back from. And even now,
you gotta be careful, you know, just just and I've
seen his workout videos, like he's been showing, like he's
(10:21):
posted a few workout videos and it looks good. Uh,
but it is different when you're going full contact, you know,
and those guys are coming at your legs and stuff
like that.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I was going to ask you that, like that's still
going to be in his mind right when he gets
out there, because he got like, wasn't it leg whipped?
I think he got whip, which was you know, nothing
that he did, just bad luck.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
But that's just bad.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah, freak accidents could occur every single.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Play the game.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh yeah, they do happen. Uh. Will he be thinking
about it? I'm certain it will be in his mind
how he feels once he fully opens hisself up like
he will, he most likely has already given it a
stress test in the way that he cuts and runs
(11:12):
and moves. But again, it's different when somebody can hit
you and it's a game rep and the feeling is different.
There's just a lot of different different elements in live
bullet play versus rehab. So I think it will be
(11:33):
on his mind. It'll be on his mind until it isn't.
Like he's not the type of player or seemingly the
way he is, like it sounds like he's wired. He's wired,
like he's a warrior. So if he can run on it,
he's going to go out there. He may think about it,
or he may feel it and wonder if it's okay
(11:55):
or good it's still there or whatever it may be.
He's not going to alter the way he plays, I'll
say that. And that's why you have to be careful
when you're you're working with a guy like Aiden Hutchinson,
because he's a he's a fool, he's a full speed ahead,
high motor guy, and sometimes you got to protect them
(12:18):
from themselves. And to the point of him playing in
the Super Bowl, if they had made it to the
Super Bowl that I mean, those it just seems like
those are things that people like to throw out there
and and others in media, you know, they like to
talk about it and entertain it. But the reality of
it is is that that that was going to take
(12:39):
a while. Like it, only time can heal a broken bone,
you know, that's that's you know, only time can heal ruptures.
You know, you you you repair the rupture, but the
amount of healing that has to take place, the scar
tissue that has to be broken down, the the strength
(13:00):
that has to be built back up, the flexibility, the mobility.
You know, there's so many things that have to be
worked on, and some of those things it's only time.
It's really only time, Jonas. So the whole rushing back
from those types of injuries, it's never made sense to me.
(13:21):
And that's why I've never even really subscribed to even
entertaining those types of conversations.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I mean, he's one of these guys though.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
We talk about the pass rushers looking to get paid
following the Miles Garrett deal and Max Crosby got his deal.
But you've got Trey Hendrickson, You've got TJ. Watt, You've
got Micah Parsons, man Aiden Hutchinson's do. Like, if I'm
the Lions, assuming he comes back one hundred percent, it
(13:49):
might be whove you to get this done sooner rather
than later, because who the hell knows what Mike is
gonna get. Who knows what TJ. Watt's gonna get? And
eight Hudginson is a guy that you look at and go, well,
in his prime, he's produced. He was on pace last year.
I mean he was in five games last year.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yet he's not.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Even in his prime yet, not in his prime. He's
not even in his prime yet. He's what, he's still
on his rookie contract. He's only like going to be
his fourth year right here. Yeah, he's not even in
his prime, Like he's like entering into his prime.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
And I was also thinking this, man, because I think
this was the draft that we were Yeah, this is
the draft we were in Vegas for.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And I think.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
You talk about a decision made at the top of
the draft that doesn't get discussed more like if it's
a quarterback, if you took one quarterback over another, like
the Bears took Kayleb Williams over Jayden Daners.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
You saw after one year.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Okay, that might be a mistake, it's only been one year,
but you saw the Jaguars took Trayvon Walker over Aiden Hutchinson.
Like you talk about not going number one and ending
up in the perfect scenario for him, and there's no
guarantees that you know he would have had the same
run in Jacksonville or not had the same run in Jacksonville.
(15:07):
And Trayvon Walker's been okay, but he hasn't been Aiden Hutchinson.
And if I'm the Lions, I look at this and
I go, look, man, a Michigan guy, he's part of
the foundation.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Get it done now.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Why wait till later, because who the hell knows how
much these pass rushing contracts are going to go up
in price.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The way it sounds good in theory, But when you
have an injury that takes you down like that and
generally like what happened with Dak Prescott, I mean you
would assume that they would wait and see how he
comes back and how he performs. I would assume they're
going to see how he comes back and how he performs.
(15:47):
Your value can plummet if you're not capable of doing
the things that you once did. And that's a reality
that NFL players and NFL organizations have to do with
on a yearly basis, on hell, on a weekly basis.
If you really think about it, like one injury could
(16:07):
alter an entire career. I know, believe me. So while
it sounds good, I think that it definitely would be
prudent to see how he how he holds up, what
he's like, you know, after this this injury. Seeing him
back on the field, I think is what's most most
(16:29):
important right now. That's probably the biggest piece of it.
And then once he once he gets into the rhythm
of it and the groove of it, then that's that's
kind of when you start making your your assessments as
to Okay, he's still the same player, you know, ask
the the trainers, how is he feeling? What? What? What's
going on with it? Is there any type of residual
(16:51):
effects to it? All those different things. There's a process
connected to it because you're investing a whole lot of
money into the player, and and so to me, I
don't think that that would be the approach to it,
even though it does have a lot of sense to it. Yeah,
I mean, you would be, in essence taking a chance.
You would be taking a risk on it. And maybe
(17:13):
that might be what they want to do, But would
that be the most wise approach. I think you got
to take a wait and see type of approach to it,
even though you do. He is your franchise guy and
he was hitting towards a defensive MVP before the injury
took place.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Well, I'll tell you what's a wise approach. Go to

on this sh We've got storylines, we've got topics we've

(20:04):
all up.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, settle up, partners, tighten up their chats.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
It's the topic.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Round up, and away we go here on this football Friday,
and we're going to start with coach Prime Dion Sanders
talking about something called back of shorts. I believe that
is the term, that is the correct pronunciation, but maybe not.
So let's find out because Deon's not thrilled with the
(20:37):
current state of uniform fashion in the world of football.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
And let's do something about the uniforms. We got guys
out there in back of shorts. That makes me sick
because I'm a I'm a football guy, like I played
this game at a high level and I have so
much respect for this game.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
And how can we allow is that there in back
of shorts?
Speaker 10 (21:02):
No knee pants, no nothing, literally pants up abundant the thighs.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
And that's cool. So I think that should be a
fine implemented for that stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And so that was Dion Sanders not happy.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But what did you call them again?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Back of shorts? Oh that's that's what you thought, he said,
back of shorts?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's what you thought?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
He said, Yeah, it wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Biker shorts? Bro?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You sure about this?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Spandex?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Hey Lee played again?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
All right, So let's let's hear this is Deon Sanders
coach Prime talking about these these shorts, because even when
you read the quotes online they spell them out b
a ka.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I swear to God, I swear to got the real thing.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Oh my gosh, I just it to college.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
And let's do something about the uniforms we got guys.
That dren back of shorts. That makes me sick because I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
A Is it biker or backup? No, it is back
of shorts?
Speaker 5 (22:13):
It's back of shorts. Those are basically like, uh, they
they're kind of just like loose fitting. By what would
you think of biker shorts, tight shorts, biker shorts?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I mean, I don't know, like we're seeing now back
of here. I mean, backup, you spell it.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
B A what a k A. He's not saying back
of shorts. Bro's saying biker shorts.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's the that's the reporting.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'm saying, backup, y'all sound horribly like I mean, okay,
but you guys think that he's saying, these are the
shorts they were wearing lead These are like no, I.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Know you, I know what you mean, you're you're right,
bar that. I mean, like he's he's talking about guys
just basically wearing biker shorts.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, he said biker shorts. It's this it's his country
accent that may have thrown some people off to say, baca,
but he said biker they're biker shorts. I mean, he's
basically saying, dudes are out there wearing span dex with
no pads in them, and they're wearing them all the
way up like mid thigh stuff like that. Like that
(23:24):
looks nothing like the I mean, did y'all look at
what back back of shorts look like?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
At them? Right now?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
There's there's when have you ever seen somebody on the
football field wear these type of pants?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
He I didn't even know, Like if you look at however,
everybody's reporting on it and the quoting of it and
the spelling of it. That's why I asked the question.
I was like, I'm not I'm not familiar with this.
I have no idea what back of shorts are. Maybe
they are biker shorts.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And maybe those people writing about it don't know anything.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
About apparently not Lee, which website said biker?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Lee, this is the best part.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Lee.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
What website did you get this story off of?
Speaker 8 (24:00):
That would be pro bible dot com broble So even
pro bible dot com didn't know what back of shorts were.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Biker shorts? Play it one more time, Lorrena Police, just
so everybody is clear on it. It's biker Just listen closely.
It's it's just a little you know, slang to it.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
Let's do something about the uniforms. We got guys that
didn't back of shorts. That makes me because I'm a
I'm a football guy, Like like I played this game
at a high level, and I have so much respect
for this game.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I mean, basically, he's saying that they're wearing pants with
no no pads in them. Yeah, they don't wear biker
biker shorts.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I heard backup, But who cares?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Did you hear? That's what you heard?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah, that's what I heard?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Why don't guys wear thighpads anymore?
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Though?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I mean, there was a lot of guys I didn't
wear at the pads when I played, you know, didn't
wear pads at all. And they started making it more
of more of a rule because guys were getting hit
in the head with beer knees and getting concussions and
stuff like that. So it was just as much for
safety for other guys out there on the field as
(25:20):
it was for the person who wasn't wearing the pads.
But I always felt like wearing pads in your pants
were was pretty dope. Like even in college, you were
you had to wear a girdle, you know, and I
mean not I thought the girdle was made part of
your uniform look look better, you know. But a lot
(25:43):
of people feel like, you know, the less they have,
the faster they can be or the more mobile they
can be. And some people don't like feeling like the
restriction of what the pats creating and when you put
the pads into them, what that creates. And but I'm
with Prime on that man, and I like, I like
to see a guy have his his quads, you know, protected,
(26:05):
even they have little pads like I recall, you know,
they have real real slim ones or real real small
ones too, and in terms of area that they cover,
and it just covers that that that one space of
your your quad where if you were to get hit
on it, you know, minimizes you know, what the damage
(26:27):
could possibly be to your quad. So and then knee pads,
I mean, you know they have smaller knee pads too.
I mean I like big thigh pads. I'm personally a
big thigh pads, big big knee pads type of guy.
But everybody has their different, you know, different ways of
going about approaching how they wear their uniforms. But what
(26:48):
Dion's talking about is that it's a whole thing now
where guys are like wearing their their football pads like
biker shorts. Like that's that's like a trend. And then
seven on seven guys don't wear shorts anymore. They wear
like biker shorts. I don't get the guys that don't
wear cups. I'm not taking any chances you're being funny.
(27:11):
I swear to god, nobody wears cups. Bro. No guys
wear jockstraps, but they don't wear cups.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So how are you protected?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Bro? That's that's been digg and gone. Like you you
get out of pee wee league, where you gotta hold
your your jockstrap cup up through your your pants and
they pop it to make sure you're wearing it. That's
once you get to get out of youth level, you don't.
You don't. People don't wear Those.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Guys aren't getting hitting the nuts anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Is that guys get hitting the nuts Jonas, but they
don't wear cups.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Why getting mad at me?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Oh no, because I feel like you're being sarcastic.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Being sarcastic at all.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Like nobody in the NFL worst cut, like nobody at
the college or professional level worst cups.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
There's a possibility you may be able to identify someone
who wears a hard cup. I mean, I don't know,
I've just never heard of it.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
When I played center, I wore cup because Lee.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
You don't count you. You just had us to talk
about back of shorts with Dion and Prime is gonna
hit me up and talk crazy to me about like
how you got these dudes like misrepresenting me on on
air and y'all I don't know. And then you had
the nerve to say, no, they're backer shorts, No biker
(28:31):
biker shorts.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I mean you listen back to it again, he said,
backa backa run.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
It back one more time. I mean running back one
more time. They're in back of shorts, run it again.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
For this game. And how can we allow guys out
there in back.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Of shortsbacka biker shorts shorts?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You hear what you got? Tripped out?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Man, You don't have the updated modern headphones that I do.
The studio equipment that I've.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Got here has nothing to do with the level of
your headphones. It's everything to do with hearing what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, I don't know, you don't hear BAKA.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I really doubt that's bizarre.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
But here's what I do know.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Travis Kelce could be winding down his illustrious NFL career
so much so that you've got Brett Beach, the general
manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, who was talking earlier
this week and said the following quote, We've all seen
it over the last few years. There are periods throughout
(29:44):
the season where you're like, this might be it. But
when the games are the most important and the lights
are the brightest, he finds it somewhere. The great ones
know how to find it. They know where it's buried,
and they know how to access it, and they can't
access it at that age week in and week out,
but when they need, they know how to find it.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
End quote.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
So basically, this is the final year for Travis kelce
the way Brett Beach sums it up. And look, it's
not like Travis Kelcey had the year that he's had
in previous seasons. But he had almost one hundred catches
last year. He had nine hundred yards receiving. He only
had the three touchdowns. But Brett Veach makes him sound
(30:24):
more washed than I think he actually is. I'm just
saying he does. Like he's talking about him like, yeah,
you know you're watching during the season going, oh, this
could be it, dude. I had ninety seven catches last year.
It's not like I'm going out with you know, twenty
(30:44):
five and four hundred yards receiving. I had ninety seven
catches last year. So yeah, he's not the same player
he was. But it does feel like maybe there's a
little more tread on the tires than Brett.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Beach would lead us to believe. When it comes to
Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
We shall see. That's the beauty of it all. And
if I'm a GM, I gotta be thinking I gotta
get out of there before it's too late versus unless
you just feel like the value of keeping him there
until he retires and trying to make sure he retires
as a Kansas City chief, that's the key. But I mean,
you got to see how he plays next year, how
(31:20):
he feels. Sometimes you got to just have the conversation
with the player because you're not able to come up
with that final conclusion of where they are physically by
just watching them. So you got to have those conversations
with them.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I'm certain that they probably have a good enough rapport
where that would take place.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Next up, the men's and women's Division one basketball committees,
they did not make a decision on whether to expand
the NCAA Tournament from sixty eight teams. In a statement,
the committee say a decision on expanding the field to
seventy two or seventy six teams could still come in
(32:03):
time for the twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven tournaments.
Do we actually need more than sixty eight teams to
determine a winner in college basketball? Enough's enough. We don't
need seventy six teams. We don't need seventy two. We
probably don't even need sixty eight. And yet still there's
(32:27):
discussion about expansion. When it comes to this stuff, and
based on how this stuff usually works, it's probably gonna happen,
and I don't understand it. There's no need for it.
We've got sixty eight teams that should be plenty.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's a lot. That's a lot. I will say this,
the expanding of the field, I feel like it gives
those smaller, smaller schools that if you didn't have the
ability to do this, they would never get an opportunity
to make make the tournament and see how they how
(33:03):
they stack up against talent in the NCAA Tournament. That
would be the only reason why I would feel like
okay at a couple more games, Like, that's cool, But
I will also say, what's the point, right, Like the
playing games are the playing games?
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Like?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Are those? You know? They don't seem like they hold
as much excitement to them as the opening rounds of
the tournament. And I almost feel like if you expand it,
you keep expanding it, the further out you get, the
less interesting those early games are going to be. So
it's really just it's almost like an extension to your
(33:46):
regular season versus it being a like a real deal
for the you know, for the brackets.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Oh look, I love the NCAA tournament. The Tuesday Wednesday
playing games in Dayton. There's a reason why if you
fill out a bracket, they always tell you have it
completed by Thursday at nine am Pacific time, New and
Eastern time, because they're basically telling you it doesn't really
(34:16):
matter who you picked in the playing games, just make
sure you get the other games in by that time.
They're telling you the rules of bracket challenges. We have
it here at Fox Sports Radio that everybody has all
tell you, just make sure you get it in before
Thursday's games. Yeah, what about those really important games on
Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton not do't worry about it. Well,
just so that if that's the case, why are they
(34:38):
considered part of the tournament, and why do we need
to expand even more? You've got sixty eight At a
certain point, you can't get so greedy. I realize that
it's basically a three week sport now, But if you're
college basketball and you want to improve things, eliminate one
shining moment at the end of the tournament and everything's
(34:58):
going to be drastically better, drastically better.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
No, don't remove one shining moment, and don't say back
of shorts.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
I'm telling you Lee got said like shoe LeVar, So
he's not thinking that we're being crazy here. I'm telling
you people people think it's baka this. That's why I
was confused. I'm like, what are back of shorts that
I looked it up and they're actually are back of shorts.
They don't look like biker shorts, but there actually are.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
They don't look like shorts anybody on a football field
would be wearing either.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yeah, I don't listen, man, Hey.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Is what it is.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
We're your thigh pads and that way won't have any
disagreements here. That is the Football Friday edition for this
week of the topic round up here on FSR. Coming

Speaker 4 (36:49):
So yesterday there were some sad news that came out
of the world of baseball. Lee Elia, a former manager
of the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies, died at
eighty seven. He's, uh, you know, known for being a
manager in Major League baseball, working in Major League.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Baseball for a long long time.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
All of that is great, but nothing is as good
as what Lee Elia did when he set the gold
standard of postgame rants back in nineteen eighty three, when
he took a battle axe to the Chicago Cubs and
their fan base for booing his team.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
I'll tell you one thing, I hope we get hottered,
just to stuff it up them three thousand people that
show up every day, because if they're the real Chicago fans,
they can kiss my hands, run downtown and put it.
They're really really behind you around here.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
My hand.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Am I supposed to do?
Speaker 7 (37:54):
Go out there and let my players get destroyed every
day and be quiet about it. For the big people
to show up, don't even work. That's why you're out
at the game. They only glind and get a job
and find out what it's like to go out there
in a liven Eighty five percent of the world working.
The other fifteen come out here playground for the let
(38:21):
them them what the players, God, guys and people too.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
And that's the cun my hands, eighty five percent of
the world's work and the other fifteen to come here.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Do you imagine nowadays if a.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Coach, you're a manager, just unloaded, unloaded on the fan
base like that. Like, but if you were a player,
if you were a player and you heard your manager
sticking up for you that hard, well, wouldn't you be like, Hey,
at least this guy's got our back Like, at least
this guy's got our backside.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
But at least they but they stunk. If he had
to go down that lane, that means his team stinks.
Oh my god, if you're if you're getting booed, I
don't I don't know, And God rest his soul. I
don't know what the situation was, but god, he popped
off like he was just tired of them getting boots.
But that means that the fans are tired of y'all
(39:31):
losing and playing bad.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
So he so here.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Here's what the situation was. In nineteen it was early
in the season. They had just lost. They were five
and fourteen, and so there you go, as the players
were walking off the field, cup fans started throwing garbage
at him. So you had like just under ten thousand
(39:54):
people at Wrigley Field. The players are walking off the
field and the Cup fans start throwing garbage at him,
and so the guy gets in front of him and
I didn't even think he knew that this was going
to be something that was going to be recorded. But
it was Les Grobstein, who was a longtime radio host
in Chicago who actually just recently passed away, who got
(40:16):
the audio and released it and was like, yeah, this
was this was Lee Elia postgame and it's just him
annihilating the entire fan base.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
And it's but you know, good for him for standing
up for himself and his players. But five and fourteen,
you know, I mean, they shouldn't have been throwing trash
on him or anything like that. But I mean, come on,
and you know, BA fourteen, you.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Were like in nineteen eighty three, the Cubs never played
night games. They didn't have lights at Wrigley Field, so
every game was a day game. So the so the
fifteen percent that just didn't have jobs would go to
Cub games because that's the only way they could see
their team.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
And how much do you remember how much longer you
had his job after that? Not long, not long, Dang

Black and Track here on a Friday morning, on this
football Friday, four year as we take you all the
(01:41):
way up until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific,
do you want to point out we do have somebody
working through some discomfort. I'm not embellishing when I say this,
because we are going to get to somebody who could
be on the verge of a payday in the NFL
that's not getting talked about. But I'm not embellishing when
I say this. Lee de Lap was physically uncomfortable walking
(02:10):
through the halls based on what he ate last night,
which is a real dicey proposition.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
When you got to be up at one o'clock in.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
The morning for work, Lee, what was the plan of
attack from a diet standpoint yesterday that you were explaining.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Well, yeah, you're you're not lying, Jonas and and and
what a day for the plumbing to be having issues
here at the at the studios. Uh yeah, yesterday was
uh my not my best day. I started off with
a hot dog, I was the fridge was a little
it was a little bear. But I was on my
way to the uh to the movie theater. I didn't
want a movie theater hot dog, so I was I'll
(02:46):
make one from at home. No big deal.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
So did that?
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And I did it in boiling water or on a grill.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Even worse, I did it in the microwave, and I
was out of paper towel, so it was just it
was just just microwaved it right on the like lumped
up to split up, split open. Oh I did. Sometimes
I split it. Sometimes I do a little sleigh. Sometimes
at this time, I did a fork stab.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So I'm just saying it was bubbling up. Though it
definitely bubbled up lee.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Actually, uh no, I have a whole art to it.
I do pretty well no bubbling.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
What brand of hot dog was it?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Was?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
It might have been Hebrew National, Oscar Meyer is the
only way. No, that's incorrect, Absolutely, no way.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I don't want to sound like a douche, but this
is gonna sound douchey. I got organic. We wanted to
have hot dogs for like Fourth of July or Memorial Day,
and I got the organic hot dogs, the uncured be
Oh boy, those are I highly recommend it, highly recommend it.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
A little bit more pricey.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But if you don't eat them that often, you know,
it's you know, no big deal, but very interesting.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
You know what goes in a hot dog?
Speaker 8 (03:55):
Right?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
No, no, nobody knows organic.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I have no idea. The label worked for me. It
felt better afterwards.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Well, what what made the hot dog worse is what
it was? What was going on for the rest of
the day. So after the movie we went down to
the bar afterwards get some some appetizers. I was with Todd,
Todd and another buddy of mine.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Todd and h.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Yeah, these guys order food while I'm in the bathroom
washing my hands, and they get some nachos and some calamari.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
And basically I was left alone with all the halopanos
in the nachos house, that whole plate of nachos.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I was pretty hungry, that wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
And then well that was what you weren't done bad though?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That hurts you.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, when you get the whole hal ofpano to yourself,
that's uh, That's what I'm feeling today. And then to
cap it all off, Uh, basically, for dinner, I had
a an Italian sub.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Understand. I like, how do you not know at this point?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
If you got to wake up and call time is
one o'clock, you gotta be up at one in the morning.
You can't eat or partake in the things that a
normal human being can that does a regular nine to
five that's up at say six seven in the morning.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You just can't, Like you're not allowed.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I don't see the issues here, buddy, I thought.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
What do you mean? I just saw you walk through
the hall. He shot you. He looked terrible.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
He was like like doubled over holding himself, talking about
bubble guts.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
At what point are you gonna learn he can't do this?
Speaker 8 (05:36):
League?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, it was a little backed up in there too.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'm getting older.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It is starting to weigh in on me.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Oh gosh, you know, it wasn't my It was kind
of like free food, so I was. I was just
going for it.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It's like when you're a kid, you could eat a
ton of pizza. The older you get what two three slices?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It like crazy? How you watching my kids eat? I'd
be like, how they do that? I used to plow
through two whoppers. I barely make it through one.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Now, like your body literally tells you that's those days
are over. That's not happening anymore. And what makes it
worse is that you got to be up at one
in the morning and still spin in the chamber. Just
just can't help himself. Got to spin the chamber and
see what comes out on the other side.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
I did have fast food for the first time in
a long time the other day, and I felt awful
for days.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So, yeah, what what did you have?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Like a big mac?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, okay, put me down.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
When's the last time you had a big back?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Far? Oh? I don't know. When I as a kid.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Probably as a kid, I could feel my side hurting
immediately having one, like right in that spot where you're like, yeah,
something's lodged in there.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's not a good idea. I transit into double quarter
pounders when I was a high school guy. So I
was a double quarter pounder guy with cheese high schooling on.
Even to this day, double quarter pounder. It used to be.
I never mess with the big mac. For some reason.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
You remember that movie Supersized Me, the documentary about the
guy who ate McDonald's for every meal and for.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
That dying, didn't he.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
He did die Yeah, he did die a few years ago,
not related to well, it could be, but not during
this documentary.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Maybe it was lighting off fireworks with nagieras Oh wow.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
People would always say they'd get sick watching that documentary.
Every time I'd see it, I'd get hungry for McDonald's.
I'd have to pose it, go get McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It comes crazy, guy's how you know you're messed up? Bro?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
There's a scene where the guy throws up outside the car,
doesn't he because he's eating so much?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, and that made you hungry?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Uh huh, because it's addicted. The whole documentary proves the
science of it. How like just the sight of the
cheese heads off.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
The Lee has real problems and they're they're very real.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Everybody else would watch that documentary and be like, yeah,
the dues and don'ts of a diet.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Lee's like, that's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Let me hit pause.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Only Lee, Well, listen, he is fighting through the paint.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'll give him that.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
So he is here and uh and and battling through it.
So hopefully, uh, hopefully everything is uh good to go
the rest of the show. Here, by the way, speaking
to somebody who's coming back from UH being a little
banged up themselves. Aiden Hutchinson UH the starred defensive end
pass rusher for the Detroit Lions. He's on his way
back from that nasty leg break against the Cowboys last year,
(08:49):
and he talked recently with Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports
about his recovery and where he's at at this point.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
I'm exactly where I need to be, and every year
I've been able to improve on my own physical attributes
as long as the are along with the mental ones.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So I feel like every year.
Speaker 9 (09:08):
I take a step, and despite having that rehab this offseason,
I feel like I'm in the perfect spot and exactly
where I need to be going into year four.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
So we can all agree that the notion that had
the Lions made the Super Bowl, he was going to
be ready for that Super Bowl was completely ridiculous, Like
that there was a chance he might be ready to
go for the Super Bowl like that, I would I
would actually put that up there with Aaron Rodgers returning before.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
The end of the season with the achilles stuff, because.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
If he's still battling through it and you know now
he's good to go, all these months later, the idea
that he was actually going to be able to play
in the Super Bowl had the Lions got there. I
mean that there's hope, that's a very optimistic outlook, but
it just doesn't feel like that was ever going to
be in the cards at all for him.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't really know where that came from. That was
a gruesome, gruesome injury and that was going to take
a ton of time to bounce back from. And even now,
you gotta be careful, you know, just just and I've
seen his workout videos, like he's been showing, like he's
(10:21):
posted a few workout videos and it looks good. Uh,
but it is different when you're going full contact, you know,
and those guys are coming at your legs and stuff
like that.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I was going to ask you that, like that's still
going to be in his mind right when he gets
out there, because he got like, wasn't it leg whipped?
I think he got whip, which was you know, nothing
that he did, just bad luck.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
But that's just bad.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Yeah, freak accidents could occur every single.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Play the game.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh yeah, they do happen. Uh. Will he be thinking
about it? I'm certain it will be in his mind
how he feels once he fully opens hisself up like
he will, he most likely has already given it a
stress test in the way that he cuts and runs
(11:12):
and moves. But again, it's different when somebody can hit
you and it's a game rep and the feeling is different.
There's just a lot of different different elements in live
bullet play versus rehab. So I think it will be
(11:33):
on his mind. It'll be on his mind until it isn't.
Like he's not the type of player or seemingly the
way he is, like it sounds like he's wired. He's wired,
like he's a warrior. So if he can run on it,
he's going to go out there. He may think about it,
or he may feel it and wonder if it's okay
(11:55):
or good it's still there or whatever it may be.
He's not going to alter the way he plays, I'll
say that. And that's why you have to be careful
when you're you're working with a guy like Aiden Hutchinson,
because he's a he's a fool, he's a full speed ahead,
high motor guy, and sometimes you got to protect them
(12:18):
from themselves. And to the point of him playing in
the Super Bowl, if they had made it to the
Super Bowl that I mean, those it just seems like
those are things that people like to throw out there
and and others in media, you know, they like to
talk about it and entertain it. But the reality of
it is is that that that was going to take
(12:39):
a while. Like it, only time can heal a broken bone,
you know, that's that's you know, only time can heal ruptures.
You know, you you you repair the rupture, but the
amount of healing that has to take place, the scar
tissue that has to be broken down, the the strength
(13:00):
that has to be built back up, the flexibility, the mobility.
You know, there's so many things that have to be
worked on, and some of those things it's only time.
It's really only time, Jonas. So the whole rushing back
from those types of injuries, it's never made sense to me.
(13:21):
And that's why I've never even really subscribed to even
entertaining those types of conversations.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I mean, he's one of these guys though.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
We talk about the pass rushers looking to get paid
following the Miles Garrett deal and Max Crosby got his deal.
But you've got Trey Hendrickson, You've got TJ. Watt, You've
got Micah Parsons, man Aiden Hutchinson's do. Like, if I'm
the Lions, assuming he comes back one hundred percent, it
(13:49):
might be whove you to get this done sooner rather
than later, because who the hell knows what Mike is
gonna get. Who knows what TJ. Watt's gonna get? And
eight Hudginson is a guy that you look at and go, well,
in his prime, he's produced. He was on pace last year.
I mean he was in five games last year.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yet he's not.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Even in his prime yet, not in his prime. He's
not even in his prime yet. He's what, he's still
on his rookie contract. He's only like going to be
his fourth year right here. Yeah, he's not even in
his prime, Like he's like entering into his prime.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
And I was also thinking this, man, because I think
this was the draft that we were Yeah, this is
the draft we were in Vegas for.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
And I think.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
You talk about a decision made at the top of
the draft that doesn't get discussed more like if it's
a quarterback, if you took one quarterback over another, like
the Bears took Kayleb Williams over Jayden Daners.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
You saw after one year.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Okay, that might be a mistake, it's only been one year,
but you saw the Jaguars took Trayvon Walker over Aiden Hutchinson.
Like you talk about not going number one and ending
up in the perfect scenario for him, and there's no
guarantees that you know he would have had the same
run in Jacksonville or not had the same run in Jacksonville.
(15:07):
And Trayvon Walker's been okay, but he hasn't been Aiden Hutchinson.
And if I'm the Lions, I look at this and
I go, look, man, a Michigan guy, he's part of
the foundation.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Get it done now.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Why wait till later, because who the hell knows how
much these pass rushing contracts are going to go up
in price.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The way it sounds good in theory, But when you
have an injury that takes you down like that and
generally like what happened with Dak Prescott, I mean you
would assume that they would wait and see how he
comes back and how he performs. I would assume they're
going to see how he comes back and how he performs.
(15:47):
Your value can plummet if you're not capable of doing
the things that you once did. And that's a reality
that NFL players and NFL organizations have to do with
on a yearly basis, on hell, on a weekly basis.
If you really think about it, like one injury could
(16:07):
alter an entire career. I know, believe me. So while
it sounds good, I think that it definitely would be
prudent to see how he how he holds up, what
he's like, you know, after this this injury. Seeing him
back on the field, I think is what's most most
(16:29):
important right now. That's probably the biggest piece of it.
And then once he once he gets into the rhythm
of it and the groove of it, then that's that's
kind of when you start making your your assessments as
to Okay, he's still the same player, you know, ask
the the trainers, how is he feeling? What? What? What's
going on with it? Is there any type of residual
(16:51):
effects to it? All those different things. There's a process
connected to it because you're investing a whole lot of
money into the player, and and so to me, I
don't think that that would be the approach to it,
even though it does have a lot of sense to it. Yeah,
I mean, you would be, in essence taking a chance.
You would be taking a risk on it. And maybe
(17:13):
that might be what they want to do, But would
that be the most wise approach. I think you got
to take a wait and see type of approach to it,
even though you do. He is your franchise guy and
he was hitting towards a defensive MVP before the injury
took place.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Well, I'll tell you what's a wise approach. Go to

(20:04):
all up.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, settle up, partners, tighten up their chats.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
It's the topic.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Round up, and away we go here on this football Friday,
and we're going to start with coach Prime Dion Sanders
talking about something called back of shorts. I believe that
is the term, that is the correct pronunciation, but maybe not.
So let's find out because Deon's not thrilled with the
(20:37):
current state of uniform fashion in the world of football.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
And let's do something about the uniforms. We got guys
out there in back of shorts. That makes me sick
because I'm a I'm a football guy, like I played
this game at a high level and I have so
much respect for this game.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
And how can we allow is that there in back
of shorts?
Speaker 10 (21:02):
No knee pants, no nothing, literally pants up abundant the thighs.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
And that's cool. So I think that should be a
fine implemented for that stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
And so that was Dion Sanders not happy.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But what did you call them again?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Back of shorts? Oh that's that's what you thought, he said,
back of shorts?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
That's what you thought?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
He said, Yeah, it wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Biker shorts? Bro?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You sure about this?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Spandex?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Hey Lee played again?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
All right, So let's let's hear this is Deon Sanders
coach Prime talking about these these shorts, because even when
you read the quotes online they spell them out b
a ka.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I swear to God, I swear to got the real thing.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Oh my gosh, I just it to college.
Speaker 10 (21:59):
And let's do something about the uniforms we got guys.
That dren back of shorts. That makes me sick because I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
A Is it biker or backup? No, it is back
of shorts?
Speaker 5 (22:13):
It's back of shorts. Those are basically like, uh, they
they're kind of just like loose fitting. By what would
you think of biker shorts, tight shorts, biker shorts?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I mean, I don't know, like we're seeing now back
of here. I mean, backup, you spell it.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
B A what a k A. He's not saying back
of shorts. Bro's saying biker shorts.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
That's the that's the reporting.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I'm saying, backup, y'all sound horribly like I mean, okay,
but you guys think that he's saying, these are the
shorts they were wearing lead These are like no, I.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Know you, I know what you mean, you're you're right,
bar that. I mean, like he's he's talking about guys
just basically wearing biker shorts.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, he said biker shorts. It's this it's his country
accent that may have thrown some people off to say, baca,
but he said biker they're biker shorts. I mean, he's
basically saying, dudes are out there wearing span dex with
no pads in them, and they're wearing them all the
way up like mid thigh stuff like that. Like that
(23:24):
looks nothing like the I mean, did y'all look at
what back back of shorts look like?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
At them? Right now?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
There's there's when have you ever seen somebody on the
football field wear these type of pants?
Speaker 4 (23:36):
He I didn't even know, Like if you look at however,
everybody's reporting on it and the quoting of it and
the spelling of it. That's why I asked the question.
I was like, I'm not I'm not familiar with this.
I have no idea what back of shorts are. Maybe
they are biker shorts.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And maybe those people writing about it don't know anything.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
About apparently not Lee, which website said biker?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Lee, this is the best part.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Lee.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
What website did you get this story off of?
Speaker 8 (24:00):
That would be pro bible dot com broble So even
pro bible dot com didn't know what back of shorts were.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Biker shorts? Play it one more time, Lorrena Police, just
so everybody is clear on it. It's biker Just listen closely.
It's it's just a little you know, slang to it.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
Let's do something about the uniforms. We got guys that
didn't back of shorts. That makes me because I'm a
I'm a football guy, Like like I played this game
at a high level, and I have so much respect
for this game.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I mean, basically, he's saying that they're wearing pants with
no no pads in them. Yeah, they don't wear biker
biker shorts.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I heard backup, But who cares?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Did you hear? That's what you heard?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah, that's what I heard?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
All right?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Why don't guys wear thighpads anymore?
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Though?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I mean, there was a lot of guys I didn't
wear at the pads when I played, you know, didn't
wear pads at all. And they started making it more
of more of a rule because guys were getting hit
in the head with beer knees and getting concussions and
stuff like that. So it was just as much for
safety for other guys out there on the field as
(25:20):
it was for the person who wasn't wearing the pads.
But I always felt like wearing pads in your pants
were was pretty dope. Like even in college, you were
you had to wear a girdle, you know, and I
mean not I thought the girdle was made part of
your uniform look look better, you know. But a lot
(25:43):
of people feel like, you know, the less they have,
the faster they can be or the more mobile they
can be. And some people don't like feeling like the
restriction of what the pats creating and when you put
the pads into them, what that creates. And but I'm
with Prime on that man, and I like, I like
to see a guy have his his quads, you know, protected,
(26:05):
even they have little pads like I recall, you know,
they have real real slim ones or real real small
ones too, and in terms of area that they cover,
and it just covers that that that one space of
your your quad where if you were to get hit
on it, you know, minimizes you know, what the damage
(26:27):
could possibly be to your quad. So and then knee pads,
I mean, you know they have smaller knee pads too.
I mean I like big thigh pads. I'm personally a
big thigh pads, big big knee pads type of guy.
But everybody has their different, you know, different ways of
going about approaching how they wear their uniforms. But what
(26:48):
Dion's talking about is that it's a whole thing now
where guys are like wearing their their football pads like
biker shorts. Like that's that's like a trend. And then
seven on seven guys don't wear shorts anymore. They wear
like biker shorts. I don't get the guys that don't
wear cups. I'm not taking any chances you're being funny.
(27:11):
I swear to god, nobody wears cups. Bro. No guys
wear jockstraps, but they don't wear cups.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
So how are you protected?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Bro? That's that's been digg and gone. Like you you
get out of pee wee league, where you gotta hold
your your jockstrap cup up through your your pants and
they pop it to make sure you're wearing it. That's
once you get to get out of youth level, you don't.
You don't. People don't wear Those.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Guys aren't getting hitting the nuts anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Is that guys get hitting the nuts Jonas, but they
don't wear cups.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Why getting mad at me?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Oh no, because I feel like you're being sarcastic.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Being sarcastic at all.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Like nobody in the NFL worst cut, like nobody at
the college or professional level worst cups.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
There's a possibility you may be able to identify someone
who wears a hard cup. I mean, I don't know,
I've just never heard of it.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
When I played center, I wore cup because Lee.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
You don't count you. You just had us to talk
about back of shorts with Dion and Prime is gonna
hit me up and talk crazy to me about like
how you got these dudes like misrepresenting me on on
air and y'all I don't know. And then you had
the nerve to say, no, they're backer shorts, No biker
(28:31):
biker shorts.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
I mean you listen back to it again, he said,
backa backa run.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
It back one more time. I mean running back one
more time. They're in back of shorts, run it again.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
For this game. And how can we allow guys out
there in back.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Of shortsbacka biker shorts shorts?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You hear what you got? Tripped out?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Man, You don't have the updated modern headphones that I do.
The studio equipment that I've.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Got here has nothing to do with the level of
your headphones. It's everything to do with hearing what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, I don't know, you don't hear BAKA.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I really doubt that's bizarre.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
But here's what I do know.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Travis Kelce could be winding down his illustrious NFL career
so much so that you've got Brett Beach, the general
manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, who was talking earlier
this week and said the following quote, We've all seen
it over the last few years. There are periods throughout
(29:44):
the season where you're like, this might be it. But
when the games are the most important and the lights
are the brightest, he finds it somewhere. The great ones
know how to find it. They know where it's buried,
and they know how to access it, and they can't
access it at that age week in and week out,
but when they need, they know how to find it.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
End quote.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
So basically, this is the final year for Travis kelce
the way Brett Beach sums it up. And look, it's
not like Travis Kelcey had the year that he's had
in previous seasons. But he had almost one hundred catches
last year. He had nine hundred yards receiving. He only
had the three touchdowns. But Brett Veach makes him sound
(30:24):
more washed than I think he actually is. I'm just
saying he does. Like he's talking about him like, yeah,
you know you're watching during the season going, oh, this
could be it, dude. I had ninety seven catches last year.
It's not like I'm going out with you know, twenty
(30:44):
five and four hundred yards receiving. I had ninety seven
catches last year. So yeah, he's not the same player
he was. But it does feel like maybe there's a
little more tread on the tires than Brett.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Beach would lead us to believe. When it comes to
Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
We shall see. That's the beauty of it all. And
if I'm a GM, I gotta be thinking I gotta
get out of there before it's too late versus unless
you just feel like the value of keeping him there
until he retires and trying to make sure he retires
as a Kansas City chief, that's the key. But I mean,
you got to see how he plays next year, how
(31:20):
he feels. Sometimes you got to just have the conversation
with the player because you're not able to come up
with that final conclusion of where they are physically by
just watching them. So you got to have those conversations
with them.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I'm certain that they probably have a good enough rapport
where that would take place.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Next up, the men's and women's Division one basketball committees,
they did not make a decision on whether to expand
the NCAA Tournament from sixty eight teams. In a statement,
the committee say a decision on expanding the field to
seventy two or seventy six teams could still come in
(32:03):
time for the twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven tournaments.
Do we actually need more than sixty eight teams to
determine a winner in college basketball? Enough's enough. We don't
need seventy six teams. We don't need seventy two. We
probably don't even need sixty eight. And yet still there's
(32:27):
discussion about expansion. When it comes to this stuff, and
based on how this stuff usually works, it's probably gonna happen,
and I don't understand it. There's no need for it.
We've got sixty eight teams that should be plenty.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's a lot. That's a lot. I will say this,
the expanding of the field, I feel like it gives
those smaller, smaller schools that if you didn't have the
ability to do this, they would never get an opportunity
to make make the tournament and see how they how
(33:03):
they stack up against talent in the NCAA Tournament. That
would be the only reason why I would feel like
okay at a couple more games, Like, that's cool, But
I will also say, what's the point, right, Like the
playing games are the playing games?
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Like?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Are those? You know? They don't seem like they hold
as much excitement to them as the opening rounds of
the tournament. And I almost feel like if you expand it,
you keep expanding it, the further out you get, the
less interesting those early games are going to be. So
it's really just it's almost like an extension to your
(33:46):
regular season versus it being a like a real deal
for the you know, for the brackets.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Oh look, I love the NCAA tournament. The Tuesday Wednesday
playing games in Dayton. There's a reason why if you
fill out a bracket, they always tell you have it
completed by Thursday at nine am Pacific time, New and
Eastern time, because they're basically telling you it doesn't really
(34:16):
matter who you picked in the playing games, just make
sure you get the other games in by that time.
They're telling you the rules of bracket challenges. We have
it here at Fox Sports Radio that everybody has all
tell you, just make sure you get it in before
Thursday's games. Yeah, what about those really important games on
Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton not do't worry about it. Well,
just so that if that's the case, why are they
(34:38):
considered part of the tournament, and why do we need
to expand even more? You've got sixty eight At a
certain point, you can't get so greedy. I realize that
it's basically a three week sport now, But if you're
college basketball and you want to improve things, eliminate one
shining moment at the end of the tournament and everything's
(34:58):
going to be drastically better, drastically better.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
No, don't remove one shining moment, and don't say back
of shorts.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
I'm telling you Lee got said like shoe LeVar, So
he's not thinking that we're being crazy here. I'm telling
you people people think it's baka this. That's why I
was confused. I'm like, what are back of shorts that
I looked it up and they're actually are back of shorts.
They don't look like biker shorts, but there actually are.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
They don't look like shorts anybody on a football field
would be wearing either.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yeah, I don't listen, man, Hey.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Is what it is.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
We're your thigh pads and that way won't have any
disagreements here. That is the Football Friday edition for this

Speaker 4 (36:49):
So yesterday there were some sad news that came out
of the world of baseball. Lee Elia, a former manager
of the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies, died at
eighty seven. He's, uh, you know, known for being a
manager in Major League baseball, working in Major League.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Baseball for a long long time.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
All of that is great, but nothing is as good
as what Lee Elia did when he set the gold
standard of postgame rants back in nineteen eighty three, when
he took a battle axe to the Chicago Cubs and
their fan base for booing his team.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
I'll tell you one thing, I hope we get hottered,
just to stuff it up them three thousand people that
show up every day, because if they're the real Chicago fans,
they can kiss my hands, run downtown and put it.
They're really really behind you around here.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
My hand.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Am I supposed to do?
Speaker 7 (37:54):
Go out there and let my players get destroyed every
day and be quiet about it. For the big people
to show up, don't even work. That's why you're out
at the game. They only glind and get a job
and find out what it's like to go out there
in a liven Eighty five percent of the world working.
The other fifteen come out here playground for the let
(38:21):
them them what the players, God, guys and people too.
Speaker 8 (38:31):
And that's the cun my hands, eighty five percent of
the world's work and the other fifteen to come here.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Do you imagine nowadays if a.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Coach, you're a manager, just unloaded, unloaded on the fan
base like that. Like, but if you were a player,
if you were a player and you heard your manager
sticking up for you that hard, well, wouldn't you be like, Hey,
at least this guy's got our back Like, at least
this guy's got our backside.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
But at least they but they stunk. If he had
to go down that lane, that means his team stinks.
Oh my god, if you're if you're getting booed, I
don't I don't know, And God rest his soul. I
don't know what the situation was, but god, he popped
off like he was just tired of them getting boots.
But that means that the fans are tired of y'all
(39:31):
losing and playing bad.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
So he so here.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Here's what the situation was. In nineteen it was early
in the season. They had just lost. They were five
and fourteen, and so there you go, as the players
were walking off the field, cup fans started throwing garbage
at him. So you had like just under ten thousand
(39:54):
people at Wrigley Field. The players are walking off the
field and the Cup fans start throwing garbage at him,
and so the guy gets in front of him and
I didn't even think he knew that this was going
to be something that was going to be recorded. But
it was Les Grobstein, who was a longtime radio host
in Chicago who actually just recently passed away, who got
(40:16):
the audio and released it and was like, yeah, this
was this was Lee Elia postgame and it's just him
annihilating the entire fan base.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
And it's but you know, good for him for standing
up for himself and his players. But five and fourteen,
you know, I mean, they shouldn't have been throwing trash
on him or anything like that. But I mean, come on,
and you know, BA fourteen, you.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
Were like in nineteen eighty three, the Cubs never played
night games. They didn't have lights at Wrigley Field, so
every game was a day game. So the so the
fifteen percent that just didn't have jobs would go to
Cub games because that's the only way they could see
their team.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
And how much do you remember how much longer you
had his job after that? Not long, not long, Dang
