a row, how about it? Gonna do it? Man? Alright?
So the uh, the story out of d C is
that the Washington Commandos slash football team slash team name
that we can't say anymore when LaVar played there, else
we'll get thrown off the air. Yeah, well it's not.
(01:53):
It's the Commandos are definitely freeballing right now. Yeah, freeballing
and free falling. Yeah, I mean, however you want to
call it. They are free hanging whatever you know they are. Well,
maybe that's not a good reference either. Yeah, they're not.
They're not a very good football team. Scratch they take
that off. No free hangings. So they're not a very
(02:15):
good football team, and in fact, they are far behind
in a division that's all of a sudden, the talk
of the NFL, the NFC S. You got the undefeated Eagles,
you've got the Cowboys and Giants sitting at four and one.
Everybody's headed in the right direction except for the Washington Commandos.
They're bad football team, and so they're head coach Ron
Rivera spoke yesterday, and this is going to be a
(02:36):
fun little exercise of did you actually hear the entire
press conference or did you just hear what went viral?
Because he was asked by the media about the difference
between them and the other teams in the division, and
it played out like this, why do you think the
teams in the division are father had at this point quarterback?
(03:00):
That I mean with quarterback like the Cowboys friends is fair.
They don't have Dak Prescott this season and still haven't
able to They started with They built around dock The
offense is built around Dock Um. They're back up a
guy that is very solid inside of it, inside of
what they do. Um. And the truth is that this
(03:21):
is a quarterback driven lake. And if you look at
the teams that have been able to sustain success, they've
been able to build it around a specific quarterback. So
so why haven't you found a specific quarterback? Now? What
people ran with was just the quarterback spot And oh my,
that that's a a damning thing to say about Carson
(03:42):
Wentz and on. Never mind the fact that he was
a little bit complimentary of Carson Wentz after the fact,
as he said, here, okay, but but pump the brakes.
It sounds bad. Of course, that's only Juan Rivera, a
former player, but he has a reputation for being a
player's coach. And so one of two things is that
play here. Either Wentz is just really disliked and he
(04:02):
just got a personality that it's hard for people to
like him, because that seemed to be the case in Philly,
that seemed to be the case in India. Now you're
in Washington. You've got a head coach who again by
and large with the never say an never and and
and here's the other part that I'd just say in
defensive wins, He's not the problem in Washington. How about that.
(04:24):
You can talk about what happened to the end of
the last week's game. He was the only reason they
were in that game. Dude three for almost three or
sixty yards last week, a couple of touchdowns. Like he
he's not the reason. He's not the reason. Like if
you look at what he's done to keep his team
in games this season in Washington in comparison to other quarterbacks,
whether it's Daniel Jones, Cooper Rush, he's the one doing
(04:46):
all the heavy lifting, so like he could complain about
wins all he wants, but the reality is their defense
hasn't been as good as what they thought. When Chase
Young came the league, we thought he was gonna be
this this big old time know, takeover games type player,
and he that draft pick has not worked out to
have the impact they thought it was gonna have. That
front has not had the impact they thought it was
(05:08):
gonna have. Their pass coverage is still lacking. The run
game is not existing. They've had some offensive line issues.
That's part of it. But like if you really chalk
up and watch throughout the course of the season, guess what,
It's not all on Wentz. He hasn't played good at times,
but other times he's kept him in the game. So
it's just it's surprising that you would hear a head
(05:29):
coach drive a bus directly over his starting quarterback at
this point. Well, here's what's for me. This is this
is how I kind of internalize it. Right. I look
at this team and I say, the storyline is already
written and it it's like the blanks are replaceable. So
(05:52):
it's like, okay, Ever since Daniel Snyder owned this team,
the team has ruggle outside of the first year that
he owned the team. So it's like, okay, this coach
Boom North Turner offensive guru. You bring in Ray Rhodes
(06:15):
defensive guru, who was a former head coach, coached a
pretty good Eagles team. You know, they come in filling
the blanks. They can't win, lose close games. You know
whatever it may be. Boom delete quarter quarterback. Oh, by
the way, quarterback Brad Johnson. Back up Jeff George, who
(06:40):
ends up being the starter, Jeff George. What did they
do with Brad Johnson? He goes to Tampa? What is
what does Brad Johnson doing? Tampa win a Super Bowl? Right?
Keep going right, you can keep going. Change the coach.
Marty Schottenheimer comes in as the coach. You have Patrick Ramsey,
(07:01):
who's going to be your quarterback? Draft pick Boom big
arm big big big aspirations doesn't work out, coach gone,
quarterback gone all right. You bring in Steve Spurrier, You
bring in Danny warfol You bring in Shane Matthews, You
bring in the uh the brother was hassleback. You got
(07:25):
these guys, right, Tim, Tim Hasselback, you know they're all gone.
No success continues on like you could keep going, Gibbs
and and and and listen, Mark Burnell. They had a
measure of success. We made it to the playoffs, but
that was about it, right that there has never been
(07:48):
a time where you can sit there and look at
the coach, the quarterback, or this team and say that
they have definitively changed the direction, changed, the culture, changed
what they are as an organization. Since Dan Snyder is
taking it over, that is the one constant of the
storyline that has blanks that can be filled in by
(08:10):
any coach, any quarterback, any running back, or any other
player that you would like to fill into those blanks.
Is it just so? If you remember back when Carson
Wentz was in Philly and there was a report that
came out that some some of his teammates denied, but
there was anonymous teammates that went to the media and said, well,
you know, he doesn't interact with guys, he's not well liked, etcetera, etcetera.
(08:35):
And they all shot it down. Carson Wentz shot it
down at the time, and then you see just how
that all played out in Philadelphia, and then you see
what happened with Jim Ursay in the Indianapolis Colts last year,
and then you hear what is it? Like? What am
I missing with? When it comes to Carson Wentz, he
doesn't seem like a bad guy, but it seems like
(08:55):
everywhere he goes there's questions about him and whether or
not people actually like does he does not associate well
and relate well with team? Like? What is it about
Carson Wentz that it seems like we're having the same
discussion with him where he gets buried by people that
he works with or or that he's playing with. Yet
you look back on it and go, what wasn't that bad?
I mean, his numbers are better this point last year
(09:18):
in Indianapolis and Matt Ryan's are by far, Yet the
conversation about him was, well, he's got to go because
he's clearly the issue. Aren't his numbers better than that
Ryan's this year? Yes? Like that That's why I just
I'm trying to figure out, like it's like, what is
what is happening here with Carson Wentz? I don't know.
I can only speculated throughout a theory. I feel I
(09:40):
feel like the way he came into the NFL um
it built up this idea or this ego that you
know he was. He kind of ascended rapidly to be
one of the top quarterbacks in a very short time span.
And it probably wasn't warranted. Like the more you dive
in to that Eagles team, that Doug Peterson led Eagles team,
(10:04):
the more you go back and go, well, you know,
he played well, but that was a really really talented roster.
I was a good roster. I mean they went on
to win with even without him, with Nick Foles, they
went on to win a super Bowl, And peculiarly there
is you know, issues there within that quarterback room. But
I'm sure there was a thought and WinCE his mind
because of how his career started off, that he was
(10:27):
superior to, you know, and he was the thing that
was making it all run and making it all go.
And it's not too far removed from him now where
you look at Jailor Hurts, the success the Eagles are
having and yes, granted a new head coach and Nick Sirianni,
but that was what two years ago and once as
long I've been there, and now you're watching it going, oh, Okay,
maybe it wasn't necessarily once maybe maybe you know there
(10:49):
weren't you know, he wasn't as good as we thought.
And I think the tough thing is is, you know,
now he's bouncing around from team of team and you're
trying to play with the new systems, and it's incredibly
difficult to have success when you're running a system that
you haven't had a lot of time with. It just
is I mean, throwing to guys that you haven't had
you know, a lot of chance to play with, whether
(11:11):
it's the communication with the align, the chemistry with the
guys you're throwing too. It's hard, Like it's hard at
the most elite level of the NFL to be able
to compete with other guys who have played in systems
for years, who've played with guys for years, and to
have that same type of timing and anticipation and confidence
(11:33):
to even throw certain flows. You don't think Travis Kelsey
and Patrick Mahomes, If you think they couldn't both go
out there blindfold and probably complete some passes both of
the blindfold, you're you're nuts, like they have they have
that sort of chemistry from playing so much together and
Andy Reid knows exactly what his quarterback canon cannot do,
(11:54):
which I don't know that Patrick Mahomes, you know, it
is probably capable doing a whole lot. I'm not sure
what he can into. But the point is when you're
in Wentz's position, now, you're just trying to survive. And
I think there's a lot of frustration that probably comes
with the fact of how his career started, where he
was looked at and probably thought to be an m
v P and what a second year, three year would
(12:16):
have ended up being, and then has an injury and
and then his career starts to look a lot different.
Since then he probably sitting back thinking, how would I
be viewed differently had I stayed healthy, what I've won
the m v P, I would have gone on to
win a Super Bowl like Nick Foles did with that team.
There's probably a lot of bitterness, to be honest with you,
(12:36):
because that those are the things that you can't get past,
like you can't control some of the things that happened
to you and how everything plays out. And so now
he's just trying to survive on these different rosters, and
he's putting a position that again he's not the problem,
but he's taken all the blame and it takes a
lot of a lot of fixed skin to be able
to deal with that. That's that's brutal. And then the
(12:56):
next year he gets banged up, he goes into a
play off game. There were even some people when he
was in that playoff game against Seattle. He came out
of the game and he checked himself out because he
took a hit to the head by Jadevian Clowney. A
lot of people thought was dirty to the back of
the head, And there was even some conversation afterwards about well,
(13:17):
teammates are giving him the side. I like, dude, it's
a playoff game. Why are you taking yourself out after
he had gotten cracked in it. It just feels like
after they won that Super Bowl, to Brady's point, with
a backup quarterback, all of the shine was off him
for the rest of his career and he's just going
to have to deal with that, and and it's going
to be a crutch or whatever it's going to be
in however long he's gonna keep playing for. You would
(13:41):
assume after this season that ship has sailed. Nobody else
is going to take a chance on him being a
starting quarterback for their team. And and again let's go
back to the beginning of the conversation. She said it best.
You've never heard a coach just flat outside quarterback like
why are we why are you not having quarterback? You
(14:01):
ain't never heard like that's still your starting quarterback? You
just like if there was that that wasn't even a
slowly You didn't even stick a needley and it didn't
even go. That was like pow, Wait what does it
sounds like? Yeah? That was that like a Draymond Green
(14:23):
sucker punch. Yes, it wasn't a sucker punch, just like
Draymond's wasn't. Well, this one might have been a sucker punch. Actually,
I don't know, Draymond was it not a sucker punch,
wasn't I don't think really got pushed pushed him. No,
I will say this one is probably more of a
sucker punch. Like imagine if if Carson Wentzon just walked
(14:46):
into the press conference just by action and say hey, hey, coach,
did I leave my playbook in your office? And like, hey,
uh yeah, so coach, what what is the reason why
you guys are so bad? And why you suck quarterback, Like, oh,
I think I know where I left my playbook. I'll
just I'll just excuse myself from this this press conference.
Could you imagine accidentally being car Carson Wentz accidentally walking
(15:12):
into that press conference hearing that answer. Could you imagine
Ron Rivera see it in the face on Carson Wentz
once he said it and realized Carson Wentz was in
the room. Now, that's not what happened, I'm certain, but
could you imagine like her, your coach say, well, why
do you guys suck? Uh? Carson Wentz. So he didn't
let me ask you if if you were to gauge
(15:35):
Ron Rivera's like in that moment, because he did go
on to seation. Okay, so you think that when he
went on to say some kind things about Carson Wentz,
like the person that says I have black friends, or
I listened to the Temptations and and I have you
know a black person that comes up to my house
right before, right before you start talking about how much
(16:00):
you don't like this about the same culture, right, It's like,
I really don't like Oh, that's every person that says
I've listened to the Temptations before they to justify what
they're about to say. Just don't say it. Don't say it,
so I just don't do it. Do you think don't
(16:21):
be that person? Do you think when I listened to
the temptations? Do you think when? Do you then? Do
you think when he comes back afterwards and his complimentary
of him, do you think he realized, Oh, that came
out bad. I gotta I gotta recover. Here is he
didn't have to realize that he knew exactly what he
was doing when he put that one out, because don't
(16:42):
nobody do it? Wait, you know what the best part is,
play play that again? Because after he says quarterback, the
person in the media, I don't know who asked somebody
was back there like they had no idea where to
go because they were stunned that he that he made
this answer say this again? Why do you think the
teams in the division her father had at this point? Quarterback?
(17:06):
Is that? I mean? Is that? What is that? Is that?
What you said? It was like they didn't even finish
the sentence. You're really just gonna You're really just gonna
put ve it on one guy. I'm just gonna put
it on one guy. Just got here, just through for
almost three hundred and sixty yards. Is that that's the
(17:29):
guy you're gonna pay? Not? Okay, just just making sure
that was like he was always like he was under
like he was like he had to give a testimony,
and then to lie is to be purse. You're purjurizing yourself.
You was, You're committing perjury? Like who is the reason? Coach?
(17:50):
You know what it was like? It was the court?
It was him. Did you see the point him out
in the courtroom. Did you guys see the viral video
where some guy went around on the street and was
asking couples. He said, hey, if you could sleep with
one person from your past, who would it be? Or
one other person? And the woman in front of her
boyfriend said my ex. And the boyfriends like, wait what,
(18:12):
no idea? Wait who him? You just dated him? Like
they had no idea where to go when when Ron
Rivera went that direction with Carson Wentz, so we the
good news is they've got to come back and play
on Thursday night, Carson Wentz's so, so there's that on
a short week. I mean, sometimes negative reinforcement is pros
(18:37):
I guess uh it is speaking of Pros, Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio
from the Tirack dot Com studios. You can hang out
with us is always on the I Heart Radio app
R It's coming up next. This is playing out perfectly
for one person in the NFL. This could not go
any better for one person in the NFL. We will
have that discussion for you right here on fs are
be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
(19:00):
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox week days at six am Eastern, three am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox Are you here? You
can hang out with us as always on the I
Heart Radio app So we are gonna have another edition
(19:20):
of would you rather coming up in a little over
twenty minutes from now or excuse me, about twenty minutes
from now here on Fox Sports Radio from the Tirack
dot Com studios. We do have right now. Though. Somebody
who loves this, uh, they love them some this, They
love this controversy. Jerry Jones, I don't know if anybody
knows this. He's the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Uh.
(19:41):
He was talking about the situation in Dallas involving Dak
Prescott and Cooper Rush and the conversation that has hijacked
mini sports radio shows over the past couple of weeks.
And here was Jerry Jones talking with the media about
this situation. The number one club guy. But isn't it
great that somebody came in and played well enough so
(20:04):
we can ask that question. That's my po So he
loves this up. He wasn't saying that before. That's guy,
al right. I think he likes I think he likes
the story. I mean think about Romo. Romo is a
great story. Small school guy right eastern Illinois ended up,
(20:25):
you know, finding his way into the roster, making it.
Dak Prescott wasn't a small school guy. He was tremendous
at Mississippi State, but he wasn't a first round pick,
you know, he was about a fourth round pick, and
so that was unexpected when Romo got hurt and then
Dad came in and just lit the world on fire.
Like I think Jerry Jones is at that like older
age where he likes the underdog, you know, he likes
(20:46):
the guy that's unexpected to kind of the David and Goliath.
And I think he looks at Cooper Russian that way, like, Hey,
isn't this great? We got a guy who can you
know he's playing well enough, we can we can even
ask that question right at I don't know. I feel
like he's like just an old grandpa likes that David
and Goliath type story and he gets to live it
out with the team that he owns. I think it's smart. Honestly,
(21:11):
whether intentionally or by accident, I think it's super smart
because you're driving the value up of your backup and
and by creating this this narrative that that Cooper Rush
could potentially be a guy that that leads this team
(21:32):
while you have a guy like Dak Prescott that's recovering.
To put it out there, wouldn't it be great to
have a quarterback controversy in the beginning and then him
to continue Cooper Rush to continue to have success at
at the starting position, the team having success winning games.
You are now placing a value on Cooper Rush so
(21:56):
to me to come back, and and he didn't double
down on it. All the way. I mean, he might
have kind of you know, I don't know. I don't
know what you would call it to say, it's great
to be able to have a conversation because they're doing
so well. But but Dak Prescott is our guide. You
you better have given him that vote of confidence, and
(22:18):
you better have done it publicly, so you address that,
you address the fact that that he's your starter. But wow,
Cooper Rush, he's playing well enough for us to win.
He's playing playing well in his position. So now you
have two quarterbacks. You have a quarterback with value that
if you need it to to make a move some way, somehow,
(22:40):
the possibilities of you getting value out of a trade
with him now go up. You now have more of
an asset on the open market um to to to
leverage or utilize that. That's what I would say. So
I think that it makes It makes a lot of
sense in the end to say, Okay, this is why
he would play it that way if you were Jerry
Jones or Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott goes down after
(23:04):
that first game and they didn't look good at all
against Tampa Bay. And it's not like I didn't like
about it. They looked totally disjointed, like they didn't have
any real continuity. And and so when you see, all right,
Dak Prescott's down and say minimum four games you're gonna
be playing with Cooper Rush as your quarterback, what would
(23:25):
have been your realistic expectations record wise AF during those
four games? If you can go five d right, if
you can go two and two. It depends on who
you're playing. It does depend on who you're playing. So
since the Giants the Commandos and then you're at the Rams,
I would say, yeah, I'd say one win. They wouldn't four, No,
(23:46):
if they should be ecstatically looking at Cooper Rush the
way with back in him going down the lineman, there
was what there was? Didn't uh uh Tyrn didn't Tyrann
go down? Somebody else got hurt? Yeah, I forget So
Connor mccovern, if you go into a game against the
(24:07):
Bengals after that, yeah, that's I'm saying that's a loss.
Then you have who after that? Then you're at the Giants.
I mean, I wouldn't have known what to think at
that point because I didn't know the Giants were going
to be as good as they are right now, So
I wouldn't have known. I would have said, that's a win.
That's a win for Dallas to beat you know, beat
the Giant the Commandos, that's a win. So yeah, there's
(24:29):
there's then at the Rams, that's a loss. Yeah, But
but then again, I wouldn't have thought that the Rams
would be as bad as they are. So back to
Queues point, you don't know how good these teams are
after that first week. It's like you lost to Tampa.
You're thinking Tampa is a better team, um, one of
the top teams, So you don't hold too many hard
(24:52):
feelings towards that loss. But Dak Prescott goes down. If
you'd have said you're going to win those games against
these two teams teams and win or lose these games
against those two teams, I would say that would probably
be active. See I wonder that, and you guys tell
me if I'm crazy, because I've noticed that Zeke Elliott
a couple of times when the subject of Dak Prescott,
(25:13):
you know, maybe there's a quarterback controversy or people are
just kind of poking around at the question. He's been
a little bit fired up about it, almost borderline annoyed.
Mike McCarthy was kind of annoyed by the question a
couple of weeks ago or like a week or two ago,
and continues to be a little bit. Now Dak's our guys,
stop this is you're hearing more players sort of speak
(25:35):
it iss. Do you think? Do you think because some
of them are like, but it's a Jerry Jones. We
just went four no with a backup quarterback. We should
all be ecstatic that we've got the potential of getting
our guy back with an opportunity to take the lead
in the division against Philadelphia this Sunday night. We don't
have to deal with this crap. But again he can't
(25:55):
help himself. But again does it? First of all, did
you guys hear the interview that de Marcus um what
was de Marcus out of l s U. He works
for ESPN. Now de Marcus spirits the market spirits there
we go. Did you hear what he said about about
Jerry Jones, like the he's in the locker room every day.
(26:19):
He's in the locker room every day. He said, he said,
I don't believe Jerry Jones understands the amount of pressure
that he puts on those players in that locker room
because he's too like basically say he's two hands on
as an owner, he's two hands on. So to your point,
Jonas right like to to think that he's in the
(26:43):
media and he feels like he's doing a justice in
the service by his team and talking about because you
know what, Cooper Rush is a player too, right, he
deserves the praise that that that he's getting right now
because he's leading a team to to a no loss
record right now. Is that the starter? So he's a
part of that team as well. But when you sit
(27:04):
there and you're kind of your statements alienate the leader,
like that's a leader of your team and he's your
starting franchise quarterback with a starting franchise you know contract.
To put that out there, that puts a lot of
pressure on that team, That puts a lot of unnecessary expectations.
(27:24):
And there it is out there that those team members
and even the coaching staff are going to have to
to handle that pressure. Not Jerry Jones. Jerry doesn't have
to handle that press so unnecessary man like, but maybe
this is just his thing, like he's he's part you know,
owner wanted to win games and also just wants to
be a top of a conversation. And he really loves football,
(27:47):
like at the end of the day, like at the
end of it all, he just really loves the game
of football. He loves being the owner of the Dallas Cowboys,
he loves winning, and and he's successful. He's why least successful,
And sometimes your your biggest you know, maybe asset as
a person, or the drive that you had, the figuring
(28:09):
it out, being solution driven can ultimately, if not used correctly,
can be maybe just as destructive as it it is constructive,
you know. And that's kind of almost feel like that's
he uh, I just say he goes into the realm
of he's not a good owner, but he's actually a
(28:31):
dope dude. He's a dope owner because he loves his players.
He takes care of his players, he takes care of
his community, he takes care of his fan base. He
he puts a great product out there in terms of,

lap Leah. What do we got this week? I wanted
(31:24):
to ask, would you rather be the last person in
the world? Were the best athlete in the world? What
best athlete? Why would want to be the last person? Yeah,
you'd be all by yourself? Ly, that's true? Would you run?
I mean much rather be the last person on the world? Hello?
I mean that means I don't have to deal with anybody,
(31:46):
no drama, no point get rolled under the bus blaming
it on me that we're not a good football scene.
He's not even there to blame Me's eight quarterback as
the literally only have me to blame for whatever happens
to me. Yes, what you don't have any companions, no friends?
(32:09):
Now is their internet? No, it's just you, buddy? Why not?
I mean, if I'm the last person, there's got to
be amazing technology, right yeah. I mean, if there's amazing technology,
you already know, Berto, I got everything I need. If
there's amazing technology, next thing, you know, you're gonna be
Tom Hanks. I mean, I am married making love to
a volleyball in the Once you're married, you learn how
(32:32):
to live about yourself at times, you know what I mean.
That's a good point. Ok So every married man out there,
I might not agree with not one other thing I
say when I'll be on this show, but you was
with me right there. Yeah. I remember Brady said it
me a video before I got married, or he said,
(32:54):
you watch this is gonna make a lot of sense
after you're married. And it was some guy talking about
how he finds chores around the house to do because
it's the only alone time he gets. And six months
after I was burned, I was like, that's a great point. Now,
now it all makes sense. Now now I can understand
why why that alone time is what you want. But
that's a little bit too alone. I'd rather be the
(33:15):
best athlete in the world personally as a non athlete.
That that would be my my approach. What else, guys,
would you rather live in the past or live in
the future. Oh that's a goat one man, I'm going
with past past? Yea? Yeah? Like now what what? What
I mean? The diction the one right now I'm not
too excited about. It's true, but not only that. I
(33:39):
mean my college college was was wonderful, high school was wonderful,
childhood was wondering. Okay, what era before you were born
would you want to live in? Can't be any time
during your black So of course I've been very racially
motivated and stimulated. This always keep hold on year three
(34:07):
and results? Yeah, I want to say, tell him Lee,
what about tell him leave forget Lee? What about twenty three? Roberto?
What was his results? Roberto Mexican big dog? And what
about LaVar? You black dollar? I'm a black Scandinavian player.
But anyways, tell him Lee, ye, tell him I'm a
(34:31):
black Viking. Stopped playing around. I didn't know that existed.
I thought, y'all like Game of Thrones, Wait till black
Biking pops up hey, but I would I would probably say,
I mean, because I grew up late seventies, but I
(34:52):
would probably say the seventies. Man, maybe maybe yeah, seventies,
because eighties was it was a good time, but it
was a bad time. Things got a little out of hand.
Seven got the fifties seem pretty cool. No way, Come on, man,
it's not for me, that's true, not for not for us,
that's true. Time we go sixties, seventies, eighties and beyond.
(35:16):
I was thinking more like back to the future in
the diner and you know, everybody's having, you know, a milkshake,
and just kind of just seem like I'm happy for
that is true. So you feel guilty now, a little guilty,
a little bit guilty. I'd like to apologize to Lee.
Lee did not mean for that to to go in
that direction. Brady, what air, what decade would before you
(35:38):
were born? Would you want to go back and live
in I don't know, man, I mean, I'll put it
this way. It's probably I'm probably with LaVar, like just
a little bit earlier than when I was born, like
before the internet jacked everything up, before some of the
stuff we have now jacked everything up, like my uncle
(35:58):
was saying to me the the other day. He was like, man,
he's like, back in the day, we used to have
kids pull the fire alarm in the school, like just
to just have fun, you know, just to pull like
a prank. He's like, nowadays you do that, like you could,
like the kid gets in trouble, Like you could go
to Juvie for that. He's like, back then, it was
just like a funny prank. Ha ha like that. It's
just everything's changed, and I don't know. Can you imagine
(36:21):
back back in those days, you didn't have any entertainment
other than books and one another, Like imagine this right,
like when school was over, like you went and played
with your friends and y'all went and played outside, threw
a football around like imagine imagine this. You couldn't even
talk to your friends, talk communicate until you got home,
(36:42):
and you would have to use the phone to do it.
Now you do a TikTok in front of a pumpkin
pass and generally speaking, the mom is going to answer
to set the phone in the house, right like hello, yeah,
he's another room. Hold on, hey, he's on the phone.
Get the phone, Like nobody has to go through anybody
to get on the phone with anybody anyway. Everybody had
a secretary. You know, everybody had a secretary. Very well done.

So the uh, the story out of d C is
that the Washington Commandos slash football team slash team name
that we can't say anymore when LaVar played there, else
we'll get thrown off the air. Yeah, well it's not.
(01:53):
It's the Commandos are definitely freeballing right now. Yeah, freeballing
and free falling. Yeah, I mean, however you want to
call it. They are free hanging whatever you know they are. Well,
maybe that's not a good reference either. Yeah, they're not.
They're not a very good football team. Scratch they take
that off. No free hangings. So they're not a very
(02:15):
good football team, and in fact, they are far behind
in a division that's all of a sudden, the talk
of the NFL, the NFC S. You got the undefeated Eagles,
you've got the Cowboys and Giants sitting at four and one.
Everybody's headed in the right direction except for the Washington Commandos.
They're bad football team, and so they're head coach Ron
Rivera spoke yesterday, and this is going to be a
(02:36):
fun little exercise of did you actually hear the entire
press conference or did you just hear what went viral?
Because he was asked by the media about the difference
between them and the other teams in the division, and
it played out like this, why do you think the
teams in the division are father had at this point quarterback?
(03:00):
That I mean with quarterback like the Cowboys friends is fair.
They don't have Dak Prescott this season and still haven't
able to They started with They built around dock The
offense is built around Dock Um. They're back up a
guy that is very solid inside of it, inside of
what they do. Um. And the truth is that this
(03:21):
is a quarterback driven lake. And if you look at
the teams that have been able to sustain success, they've
been able to build it around a specific quarterback. So
so why haven't you found a specific quarterback? Now? What
people ran with was just the quarterback spot And oh my,
that that's a a damning thing to say about Carson
(03:42):
Wentz and on. Never mind the fact that he was
a little bit complimentary of Carson Wentz after the fact,
as he said, here, okay, but but pump the brakes.
It sounds bad. Of course, that's only Juan Rivera, a
former player, but he has a reputation for being a
player's coach. And so one of two things is that
play here. Either Wentz is just really disliked and he
(04:02):
just got a personality that it's hard for people to
like him, because that seemed to be the case in Philly,
that seemed to be the case in India. Now you're
in Washington. You've got a head coach who again by
and large with the never say an never and and
and here's the other part that I'd just say in
defensive wins, He's not the problem in Washington. How about that.
(04:24):
You can talk about what happened to the end of
the last week's game. He was the only reason they
were in that game. Dude three for almost three or
sixty yards last week, a couple of touchdowns. Like he
he's not the reason. He's not the reason. Like if
you look at what he's done to keep his team
in games this season in Washington in comparison to other quarterbacks,
whether it's Daniel Jones, Cooper Rush, he's the one doing
(04:46):
all the heavy lifting, so like he could complain about
wins all he wants, but the reality is their defense
hasn't been as good as what they thought. When Chase
Young came the league, we thought he was gonna be
this this big old time know, takeover games type player,
and he that draft pick has not worked out to
have the impact they thought it was gonna have. That
front has not had the impact they thought it was
(05:08):
gonna have. Their pass coverage is still lacking. The run
game is not existing. They've had some offensive line issues.
That's part of it. But like if you really chalk
up and watch throughout the course of the season, guess what,
It's not all on Wentz. He hasn't played good at times,
but other times he's kept him in the game. So
it's just it's surprising that you would hear a head
(05:29):
coach drive a bus directly over his starting quarterback at
this point. Well, here's what's for me. This is this
is how I kind of internalize it. Right. I look
at this team and I say, the storyline is already
written and it it's like the blanks are replaceable. So
(05:52):
it's like, okay, Ever since Daniel Snyder owned this team,
the team has ruggle outside of the first year that
he owned the team. So it's like, okay, this coach
Boom North Turner offensive guru. You bring in Ray Rhodes
(06:15):
defensive guru, who was a former head coach, coached a
pretty good Eagles team. You know, they come in filling
the blanks. They can't win, lose close games. You know
whatever it may be. Boom delete quarter quarterback. Oh, by
the way, quarterback Brad Johnson. Back up Jeff George, who
(06:40):
ends up being the starter, Jeff George. What did they
do with Brad Johnson? He goes to Tampa? What is
what does Brad Johnson doing? Tampa win a Super Bowl? Right?
Keep going right, you can keep going. Change the coach.
Marty Schottenheimer comes in as the coach. You have Patrick Ramsey,
(07:01):
who's going to be your quarterback? Draft pick Boom big
arm big big big aspirations doesn't work out, coach gone,
quarterback gone all right. You bring in Steve Spurrier, You
bring in Danny warfol You bring in Shane Matthews, You
bring in the uh the brother was hassleback. You got
(07:25):
these guys, right, Tim, Tim Hasselback, you know they're all gone.
No success continues on like you could keep going, Gibbs
and and and and listen, Mark Burnell. They had a
measure of success. We made it to the playoffs, but
that was about it, right that there has never been
(07:48):
a time where you can sit there and look at
the coach, the quarterback, or this team and say that
they have definitively changed the direction, changed, the culture, changed
what they are as an organization. Since Dan Snyder is
taking it over, that is the one constant of the
storyline that has blanks that can be filled in by
(08:10):
any coach, any quarterback, any running back, or any other
player that you would like to fill into those blanks.
Is it just so? If you remember back when Carson
Wentz was in Philly and there was a report that
came out that some some of his teammates denied, but
there was anonymous teammates that went to the media and said, well,
you know, he doesn't interact with guys, he's not well liked, etcetera, etcetera.
(08:35):
And they all shot it down. Carson Wentz shot it
down at the time, and then you see just how
that all played out in Philadelphia, and then you see
what happened with Jim Ursay in the Indianapolis Colts last year,
and then you hear what is it? Like? What am
I missing with? When it comes to Carson Wentz, he
doesn't seem like a bad guy, but it seems like
(08:55):
everywhere he goes there's questions about him and whether or
not people actually like does he does not associate well
and relate well with team? Like? What is it about
Carson Wentz that it seems like we're having the same
discussion with him where he gets buried by people that
he works with or or that he's playing with. Yet
you look back on it and go, what wasn't that bad?
I mean, his numbers are better this point last year
(09:18):
in Indianapolis and Matt Ryan's are by far, Yet the
conversation about him was, well, he's got to go because
he's clearly the issue. Aren't his numbers better than that
Ryan's this year? Yes? Like that That's why I just
I'm trying to figure out, like it's like, what is
what is happening here with Carson Wentz? I don't know.
I can only speculated throughout a theory. I feel I
(09:40):
feel like the way he came into the NFL um
it built up this idea or this ego that you
know he was. He kind of ascended rapidly to be
one of the top quarterbacks in a very short time span.
And it probably wasn't warranted. Like the more you dive
in to that Eagles team, that Doug Peterson led Eagles team,
(10:04):
the more you go back and go, well, you know,
he played well, but that was a really really talented roster.
I was a good roster. I mean they went on
to win with even without him, with Nick Foles, they
went on to win a super Bowl, And peculiarly there
is you know, issues there within that quarterback room. But
I'm sure there was a thought and WinCE his mind
because of how his career started off, that he was
(10:27):
superior to, you know, and he was the thing that
was making it all run and making it all go.
And it's not too far removed from him now where
you look at Jailor Hurts, the success the Eagles are
having and yes, granted a new head coach and Nick Sirianni,
but that was what two years ago and once as
long I've been there, and now you're watching it going, oh, Okay,
maybe it wasn't necessarily once maybe maybe you know there
(10:49):
weren't you know, he wasn't as good as we thought.
And I think the tough thing is is, you know,
now he's bouncing around from team of team and you're
trying to play with the new systems, and it's incredibly
difficult to have success when you're running a system that
you haven't had a lot of time with. It just
is I mean, throwing to guys that you haven't had
you know, a lot of chance to play with, whether
(11:11):
it's the communication with the align, the chemistry with the
guys you're throwing too. It's hard, Like it's hard at
the most elite level of the NFL to be able
to compete with other guys who have played in systems
for years, who've played with guys for years, and to
have that same type of timing and anticipation and confidence
(11:33):
to even throw certain flows. You don't think Travis Kelsey
and Patrick Mahomes, If you think they couldn't both go
out there blindfold and probably complete some passes both of
the blindfold, you're you're nuts, like they have they have
that sort of chemistry from playing so much together and
Andy Reid knows exactly what his quarterback canon cannot do,
(11:54):
which I don't know that Patrick Mahomes, you know, it
is probably capable doing a whole lot. I'm not sure
what he can into. But the point is when you're
in Wentz's position, now, you're just trying to survive. And
I think there's a lot of frustration that probably comes
with the fact of how his career started, where he
was looked at and probably thought to be an m
v P and what a second year, three year would
(12:16):
have ended up being, and then has an injury and
and then his career starts to look a lot different.
Since then he probably sitting back thinking, how would I
be viewed differently had I stayed healthy, what I've won
the m v P, I would have gone on to
win a Super Bowl like Nick Foles did with that team.
There's probably a lot of bitterness, to be honest with you,
(12:36):
because that those are the things that you can't get past,
like you can't control some of the things that happened
to you and how everything plays out. And so now
he's just trying to survive on these different rosters, and
he's putting a position that again he's not the problem,
but he's taken all the blame and it takes a
lot of a lot of fixed skin to be able
to deal with that. That's that's brutal. And then the
(12:56):
next year he gets banged up, he goes into a
play off game. There were even some people when he
was in that playoff game against Seattle. He came out
of the game and he checked himself out because he
took a hit to the head by Jadevian Clowney. A
lot of people thought was dirty to the back of
the head, And there was even some conversation afterwards about well,
(13:17):
teammates are giving him the side. I like, dude, it's
a playoff game. Why are you taking yourself out after
he had gotten cracked in it. It just feels like
after they won that Super Bowl, to Brady's point, with
a backup quarterback, all of the shine was off him
for the rest of his career and he's just going
to have to deal with that, and and it's going
to be a crutch or whatever it's going to be
in however long he's gonna keep playing for. You would
(13:41):
assume after this season that ship has sailed. Nobody else
is going to take a chance on him being a
starting quarterback for their team. And and again let's go
back to the beginning of the conversation. She said it best.
You've never heard a coach just flat outside quarterback like
why are we why are you not having quarterback? You
(14:01):
ain't never heard like that's still your starting quarterback? You
just like if there was that that wasn't even a
slowly You didn't even stick a needley and it didn't
even go. That was like pow, Wait what does it
sounds like? Yeah? That was that like a Draymond Green
(14:23):
sucker punch. Yes, it wasn't a sucker punch, just like
Draymond's wasn't. Well, this one might have been a sucker punch. Actually,
I don't know, Draymond was it not a sucker punch,
wasn't I don't think really got pushed pushed him. No,
I will say this one is probably more of a
sucker punch. Like imagine if if Carson Wentzon just walked
(14:46):
into the press conference just by action and say hey, hey, coach,
did I leave my playbook in your office? And like, hey,
uh yeah, so coach, what what is the reason why
you guys are so bad? And why you suck quarterback, Like, oh,
I think I know where I left my playbook. I'll
just I'll just excuse myself from this this press conference.
Could you imagine accidentally being car Carson Wentz accidentally walking
(15:12):
into that press conference hearing that answer. Could you imagine
Ron Rivera see it in the face on Carson Wentz
once he said it and realized Carson Wentz was in
the room. Now, that's not what happened, I'm certain, but
could you imagine like her, your coach say, well, why
do you guys suck? Uh? Carson Wentz. So he didn't
let me ask you if if you were to gauge
(15:35):
Ron Rivera's like in that moment, because he did go
on to seation. Okay, so you think that when he
went on to say some kind things about Carson Wentz,
like the person that says I have black friends, or
I listened to the Temptations and and I have you
know a black person that comes up to my house
right before, right before you start talking about how much
(16:00):
you don't like this about the same culture, right, It's like,
I really don't like Oh, that's every person that says
I've listened to the Temptations before they to justify what
they're about to say. Just don't say it. Don't say it,
so I just don't do it. Do you think don't
(16:21):
be that person? Do you think when I listened to
the temptations? Do you think when? Do you then? Do
you think when he comes back afterwards and his complimentary
of him, do you think he realized, Oh, that came
out bad. I gotta I gotta recover. Here is he
didn't have to realize that he knew exactly what he
was doing when he put that one out, because don't
(16:42):
nobody do it? Wait, you know what the best part is,
play play that again? Because after he says quarterback, the
person in the media, I don't know who asked somebody
was back there like they had no idea where to
go because they were stunned that he that he made
this answer say this again? Why do you think the
teams in the division her father had at this point? Quarterback?
(17:06):
Is that? I mean? Is that? What is that? Is that?
What you said? It was like they didn't even finish
the sentence. You're really just gonna You're really just gonna
put ve it on one guy. I'm just gonna put
it on one guy. Just got here, just through for
almost three hundred and sixty yards. Is that that's the
(17:29):
guy you're gonna pay? Not? Okay, just just making sure
that was like he was always like he was under
like he was like he had to give a testimony,
and then to lie is to be purse. You're purjurizing yourself.
You was, You're committing perjury? Like who is the reason? Coach?
(17:50):
You know what it was like? It was the court?
It was him. Did you see the point him out
in the courtroom. Did you guys see the viral video
where some guy went around on the street and was
asking couples. He said, hey, if you could sleep with
one person from your past, who would it be? Or
one other person? And the woman in front of her
boyfriend said my ex. And the boyfriends like, wait what,
(18:12):
no idea? Wait who him? You just dated him? Like
they had no idea where to go when when Ron
Rivera went that direction with Carson Wentz, so we the
good news is they've got to come back and play
on Thursday night, Carson Wentz's so, so there's that on
a short week. I mean, sometimes negative reinforcement is pros

this situation. The number one club guy. But isn't it
great that somebody came in and played well enough so
(20:04):
we can ask that question. That's my po So he
loves this up. He wasn't saying that before. That's guy,
al right. I think he likes I think he likes
the story. I mean think about Romo. Romo is a
great story. Small school guy right eastern Illinois ended up,
(20:25):
you know, finding his way into the roster, making it.
Dak Prescott wasn't a small school guy. He was tremendous
at Mississippi State, but he wasn't a first round pick,
you know, he was about a fourth round pick, and
so that was unexpected when Romo got hurt and then
Dad came in and just lit the world on fire.
Like I think Jerry Jones is at that like older
age where he likes the underdog, you know, he likes
(20:46):
the guy that's unexpected to kind of the David and Goliath.
And I think he looks at Cooper Russian that way, like, Hey,
isn't this great? We got a guy who can you
know he's playing well enough, we can we can even
ask that question right at I don't know. I feel
like he's like just an old grandpa likes that David
and Goliath type story and he gets to live it
out with the team that he owns. I think it's smart. Honestly,
(21:11):
whether intentionally or by accident, I think it's super smart
because you're driving the value up of your backup and
and by creating this this narrative that that Cooper Rush
could potentially be a guy that that leads this team
(21:32):
while you have a guy like Dak Prescott that's recovering.
To put it out there, wouldn't it be great to
have a quarterback controversy in the beginning and then him
to continue Cooper Rush to continue to have success at
at the starting position, the team having success winning games.
You are now placing a value on Cooper Rush so
(21:56):
to me to come back, and and he didn't double
down on it. All the way. I mean, he might
have kind of you know, I don't know. I don't
know what you would call it to say, it's great
to be able to have a conversation because they're doing
so well. But but Dak Prescott is our guide. You
you better have given him that vote of confidence, and
(22:18):
you better have done it publicly, so you address that,
you address the fact that that he's your starter. But wow,
Cooper Rush, he's playing well enough for us to win.
He's playing playing well in his position. So now you
have two quarterbacks. You have a quarterback with value that
if you need it to to make a move some way, somehow,
(22:40):
the possibilities of you getting value out of a trade
with him now go up. You now have more of
an asset on the open market um to to to
leverage or utilize that. That's what I would say. So
I think that it makes It makes a lot of
sense in the end to say, Okay, this is why
he would play it that way if you were Jerry
Jones or Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott goes down after
(23:04):
that first game and they didn't look good at all
against Tampa Bay. And it's not like I didn't like
about it. They looked totally disjointed, like they didn't have
any real continuity. And and so when you see, all right,
Dak Prescott's down and say minimum four games you're gonna
be playing with Cooper Rush as your quarterback, what would
(23:25):
have been your realistic expectations record wise AF during those
four games? If you can go five d right, if
you can go two and two. It depends on who
you're playing. It does depend on who you're playing. So
since the Giants the Commandos and then you're at the Rams,
I would say, yeah, I'd say one win. They wouldn't four, No,
(23:46):
if they should be ecstatically looking at Cooper Rush the
way with back in him going down the lineman, there
was what there was? Didn't uh uh Tyrn didn't Tyrann
go down? Somebody else got hurt? Yeah, I forget So
Connor mccovern, if you go into a game against the
(24:07):
Bengals after that, yeah, that's I'm saying that's a loss.
Then you have who after that? Then you're at the Giants.
I mean, I wouldn't have known what to think at
that point because I didn't know the Giants were going
to be as good as they are right now, So
I wouldn't have known. I would have said, that's a win.
That's a win for Dallas to beat you know, beat
the Giant the Commandos, that's a win. So yeah, there's
(24:29):
there's then at the Rams, that's a loss. Yeah, But
but then again, I wouldn't have thought that the Rams
would be as bad as they are. So back to
Queues point, you don't know how good these teams are
after that first week. It's like you lost to Tampa.
You're thinking Tampa is a better team, um, one of
the top teams, So you don't hold too many hard
(24:52):
feelings towards that loss. But Dak Prescott goes down. If
you'd have said you're going to win those games against
these two teams teams and win or lose these games
against those two teams, I would say that would probably
be active. See I wonder that, and you guys tell
me if I'm crazy, because I've noticed that Zeke Elliott
a couple of times when the subject of Dak Prescott,
(25:13):
you know, maybe there's a quarterback controversy or people are
just kind of poking around at the question. He's been
a little bit fired up about it, almost borderline annoyed.
Mike McCarthy was kind of annoyed by the question a
couple of weeks ago or like a week or two ago,
and continues to be a little bit. Now Dak's our guys,
stop this is you're hearing more players sort of speak
(25:35):
it iss. Do you think? Do you think because some
of them are like, but it's a Jerry Jones. We
just went four no with a backup quarterback. We should
all be ecstatic that we've got the potential of getting
our guy back with an opportunity to take the lead
in the division against Philadelphia this Sunday night. We don't
have to deal with this crap. But again he can't
(25:55):
help himself. But again does it? First of all, did
you guys hear the interview that de Marcus um what
was de Marcus out of l s U. He works
for ESPN. Now de Marcus spirits the market spirits there
we go. Did you hear what he said about about
Jerry Jones, like the he's in the locker room every day.
(26:19):
He's in the locker room every day. He said, he said,
I don't believe Jerry Jones understands the amount of pressure
that he puts on those players in that locker room
because he's too like basically say he's two hands on
as an owner, he's two hands on. So to your point,
Jonas right like to to think that he's in the
(26:43):
media and he feels like he's doing a justice in
the service by his team and talking about because you
know what, Cooper Rush is a player too, right, he
deserves the praise that that that he's getting right now
because he's leading a team to to a no loss
record right now. Is that the starter? So he's a
part of that team as well. But when you sit
(27:04):
there and you're kind of your statements alienate the leader,
like that's a leader of your team and he's your
starting franchise quarterback with a starting franchise you know contract.
To put that out there, that puts a lot of
pressure on that team, That puts a lot of unnecessary expectations.
(27:24):
And there it is out there that those team members
and even the coaching staff are going to have to
to handle that pressure. Not Jerry Jones. Jerry doesn't have
to handle that press so unnecessary man like, but maybe
this is just his thing, like he's he's part you know,
owner wanted to win games and also just wants to
be a top of a conversation. And he really loves football,
(27:47):
like at the end of the day, like at the
end of it all, he just really loves the game
of football. He loves being the owner of the Dallas Cowboys,
he loves winning, and and he's successful. He's why least successful,
And sometimes your your biggest you know, maybe asset as
a person, or the drive that you had, the figuring
(28:09):
it out, being solution driven can ultimately, if not used correctly,
can be maybe just as destructive as it it is constructive,
you know. And that's kind of almost feel like that's
he uh, I just say he goes into the realm
of he's not a good owner, but he's actually a
(28:31):
dope dude. He's a dope owner because he loves his players.
He takes care of his players, he takes care of
his community, he takes care of his fan base. He
he puts a great product out there in terms of,
you know, the entertainment value of it. He's just jacking
up their ability to be successful as as an operating,
healthy team. Do you think they get just give the
(28:53):
side eye every time they're asked a question Jerry Jones
said this, Mike McCarthy's like, oh, come on, dude, like
I just I mean, can we just can we just
focus on the task. And he's coherent enough that if
you disrespect it someway somehow, your ass is gonna end
up off that you're gonna get fired, Like you're not
going to be You're not going to be a part
of that organization. Don't bite the hand that feat You're like,
(29:13):
he's not seen now, Well, he does seem sometimes like
that crazy uncle you have that comes over like you know,
your your Sunday night dinners or Thanksgiving that you're just
you gotta put up with until he's out, Like that's
that's until he passes out. But he's the one passes out.
But but he writes the rules in that world that
(29:34):
he's living in that I'm not doubting that. I'm just saying, yeah, yeah,
but no different than your uncle. Out of respect. You're like,
I'm not gonna you know, I'm not gonna challenge un today,
you know, just I'm gonna let him pass out after
he has too much turkey and then when when he
wakes up Thanksgiving over Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's at
least you're hoping. You're hoping that it's over. It's um

(31:24):
to ask, would you rather be the last person in
the world? Were the best athlete in the world? What
best athlete? Why would want to be the last person? Yeah,
you'd be all by yourself? Ly, that's true? Would you run?
I mean much rather be the last person on the world? Hello?
I mean that means I don't have to deal with anybody,
(31:46):
no drama, no point get rolled under the bus blaming
it on me that we're not a good football scene.
He's not even there to blame Me's eight quarterback as
the literally only have me to blame for whatever happens
to me. Yes, what you don't have any companions, no friends?
(32:09):
Now is their internet? No, it's just you, buddy? Why not?
I mean, if I'm the last person, there's got to
be amazing technology, right yeah. I mean, if there's amazing technology,
you already know, Berto, I got everything I need. If
there's amazing technology, next thing, you know, you're gonna be
Tom Hanks. I mean, I am married making love to
a volleyball in the Once you're married, you learn how
(32:32):
to live about yourself at times, you know what I mean.
That's a good point. Ok So every married man out there,
I might not agree with not one other thing I
say when I'll be on this show, but you was
with me right there. Yeah. I remember Brady said it
me a video before I got married, or he said,
(32:54):
you watch this is gonna make a lot of sense
after you're married. And it was some guy talking about
how he finds chores around the house to do because
it's the only alone time he gets. And six months
after I was burned, I was like, that's a great point. Now,
now it all makes sense. Now now I can understand
why why that alone time is what you want. But
that's a little bit too alone. I'd rather be the
(33:15):
best athlete in the world personally as a non athlete.
That that would be my my approach. What else, guys,
would you rather live in the past or live in
the future. Oh that's a goat one man, I'm going
with past past? Yea? Yeah? Like now what what? What
I mean? The diction the one right now I'm not
too excited about. It's true, but not only that. I
(33:39):
mean my college college was was wonderful, high school was wonderful,
childhood was wondering. Okay, what era before you were born
would you want to live in? Can't be any time
during your black So of course I've been very racially
motivated and stimulated. This always keep hold on year three
(34:07):
and results? Yeah, I want to say, tell him Lee,
what about tell him leave forget Lee? What about twenty three? Roberto?
What was his results? Roberto Mexican big dog? And what
about LaVar? You black dollar? I'm a black Scandinavian player.
But anyways, tell him Lee, ye, tell him I'm a
(34:31):
black Viking. Stopped playing around. I didn't know that existed.
I thought, y'all like Game of Thrones, Wait till black
Biking pops up hey, but I would I would probably say,
I mean, because I grew up late seventies, but I
(34:52):
would probably say the seventies. Man, maybe maybe yeah, seventies,
because eighties was it was a good time, but it
was a bad time. Things got a little out of hand.
Seven got the fifties seem pretty cool. No way, Come on, man,
it's not for me, that's true, not for not for us,
that's true. Time we go sixties, seventies, eighties and beyond.
(35:16):
I was thinking more like back to the future in
the diner and you know, everybody's having, you know, a milkshake,
and just kind of just seem like I'm happy for
that is true. So you feel guilty now, a little guilty,
a little bit guilty. I'd like to apologize to Lee.
Lee did not mean for that to to go in
that direction. Brady, what air, what decade would before you
(35:38):
were born? Would you want to go back and live
in I don't know, man, I mean, I'll put it
this way. It's probably I'm probably with LaVar, like just
a little bit earlier than when I was born, like
before the internet jacked everything up, before some of the
stuff we have now jacked everything up, like my uncle
(35:58):
was saying to me the the other day. He was like, man,
he's like, back in the day, we used to have
kids pull the fire alarm in the school, like just
to just have fun, you know, just to pull like
a prank. He's like, nowadays you do that, like you could,
like the kid gets in trouble, Like you could go
to Juvie for that. He's like, back then, it was
just like a funny prank. Ha ha like that. It's
just everything's changed, and I don't know. Can you imagine
(36:21):
back back in those days, you didn't have any entertainment
other than books and one another, Like imagine this right,
like when school was over, like you went and played
with your friends and y'all went and played outside, threw
a football around like imagine imagine this. You couldn't even
talk to your friends, talk communicate until you got home,
(36:42):
and you would have to use the phone to do it.
Now you do a TikTok in front of a pumpkin
pass and generally speaking, the mom is going to answer
to set the phone in the house, right like hello, yeah,
he's another room. Hold on, hey, he's on the phone.
Get the phone, Like nobody has to go through anybody
to get on the phone with anybody anyway. Everybody had
a secretary. You know, everybody had a secretary. Very well done.
