Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, two pros and a cup of Joe. Fox

you all the way up on this Wednesday morning until
the end of this hour nine am Eastern time, six
(00:21):
o'clock Pacific. But we've got traditions here on this show,
and we've got none better than the one and only
Petros Papadakis, the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM five to
seventy LA Sports Fox College Football Analyst. You can also

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
How you feeling Will I'm all right, I'm here, Yeah
you are? What's going on? Is everybody at the Big
ten media Day?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Everyone?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Not everyone? Brady, I'm here, okay.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
How was before we get to that? How was Mountain
West days?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Intros the Death of the Mountain West.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Saw the Mountain West Commissioner at like a cocktail party
and she was like.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We're just going to concentrate on this year. You know,
I was like, yeah, for.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Sure, did you have any fun interactions with Timmy Chang
again or no?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah? Yeah, I love Timmy Chang.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Actually it was great to talk about Hawaii football with him,
and they had a much better year than anybody thought.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And his old defensive or his defensive.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Coordinator is the guy that recruited me at USC Dennis Thurman,
an old All American from there. Yeah DT no way,
a Cowboys USC All American Santa Monica High school legend.
So I go way back with old dt uh from
my brother's days and being recruited. So that was cool
(01:53):
to catch up with Timmy Chang. There are some actually
really interesting coaches in that league, and you know, for
fifteen minutes alone with each of them is always rewarding.
Troy Calhoun is great from Air Force and has been
there forever. Last place he coached was the Houston Texans,
(02:14):
and he was telling me about how they didn't pick
Vince Young or Reggie Bush and why and all that
when they had the first pick in the draft so
many years ago. And ken Nea Motalolo, who was at
Navy for like twenty eight years and now San Jose State.
Is interesting to talk to Bronco Mendenhall, very professorial now
(02:37):
at Utah State, and then Dan Mullen who's now at UNLV.
Who's really I mean, it's crazy what's happened to UNLV.
And yes, they've always had not always, but in the
last you know, ten to fifteen years, they've had this
big donor for Tita, one of the guys that owns
(02:58):
the when they owned the Houston Rockets and they own
a whole bunch of stuff in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You still in the UFC, right, yeah, yeah, and they
had a huge donor there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But now that Vegas is like a town, as you know,
with the A's coming and you got the hockey team
and you have maybe hoops come in and all of
these the Raiders and the fact that they play an
allegiance now.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
UNLV.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Other than the fact that I think there's some contract
stipulation that means wherever they go they have to bring
Nevada with them, which is kind of like having to
bring cousin Eddie with you, you know, to a bougie party.
But I mean, Reno is a trip, right, And I
like that coach too. Chote who was with sark at Texas,
(03:50):
but UNLV is really on the come up, and it
was interesting talking to Dan Mullen, who's made a lot
of money coaching in the SEC and saying, you know,
I'm going to have a rank here in Vegas as
a coach. You and help me with my wife, and
nobody cares and doesn't matter. They don't say you've got
to be at the office.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You know. It was interesting talking all these different guys.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
So it was actually, even though the Mountain West is dying,
it seems or will look a lot different next year.
People do want nighttime time slots, so we'll see how
it shakes out.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But I had a picture how different.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Does it sound with Dan Mullen talking from his perspective
at UNLV versus like if he was in like Starkville,
you know, does he think will you be able to
go out in Starkville?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
No? That was his point, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I mean he was saying that the SEC, the amount
of pressure that they put on you is almost not
worth it, which is very interesting because you know who
else I talked to was the new Fresno coach, Matt Entz,
who is a great coach. He was at USC last year,
coaching linebackers. But he was the head coach championship head
(04:56):
coach at North Dakota State. So he was one of
those like Chris Cleman who's at Kansas State or I
don't know if Leipold was there, but he has a
background in small universities, But Dickert was at North Dakota State.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't think he was the head coach.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Craig Bowl from Wyoming was at North Dakota State, and
these guys all say the same thing. They were miserable
and fargo and not because of the weather and all
that and what you're used to. But if you win
thirteen games and lose one, they tell you for three
months that you're a failure and it's sixty below you know.
The second you know, you lose it in December or whatever,
(05:37):
and it's sixty below and they tell you you're a failure
for the rest of the year. These guys can't wait
to get out of there. But that guy, Matt Enttz
was at USC last year and now he's the head
coach at Fresno and he was interesting to talk to too.
They talked about that fish bowl of North Dakota State,
and I think It's very similar to an SEC school
(05:57):
where I mean, look, you want to have at the
best thing you can have to have success as a
college football coach is the ad, the president of the university,
and the head coach and the whole staff all on
the same page, right like Oklahoma used to have when
Bob Stoops was there. Everybody holds you up, everybody holds
(06:21):
the program up. I'd imagine it's not very different at
Penn State or places like that, but you have to
have that. But if you do have that, like every
SEC school where everybody's aligned to have a great football program,
you would do end up in a more money, more
problem situation where the amount of pressure to win on
(06:41):
these coaches is huge and they're scared to have a
drink with their wife.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
In front of everybody.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Petros, I want to ask you because when you brought
up NLV, and with the recent news of Memphis trying
to jump into what is a Big twelve and the
Big twelve just stiff armed them, UNLV is like that
team that I feel like if they try to join
another conference and try to leap up, it would maybe
make some sense given the progress they made, the money
they've got and just the venue in general. But I'm
(07:09):
just curious to get your thoughts on just that whole situation,
which I don't know if Memhis wanted to become public,
but it became public, and it's probably not good for Memphis,
and I don't know if it's good for college football.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Are they They're in the AAC now and they're trying
to get out, and you know, everybody's trying to step up,
and these teams that have money can do it fast
out here on the West coast. You know who was
doing that, who has a lot of money and you
wouldn't even know his Sacramento State like they've been making
(07:41):
a push. Remember they interviewed Michael Vick. They ended up
hiring the guy that was coaching at UNLV last year,
a very innovative offensive coordinator, Brennan Marion of the go
go offense that he named when he was the coordinator
at Howard.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Not a dance style.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It is actually a musical genre from Washington, d C.
The go go offense, And he's taken it to Sacramento
State and they have a lot of money and they're
trying to buy their way in and they got stiff
armed a couple times, but they're on the come up.
One that really can move is Texas State, right, the Bobcats.
(08:19):
We saw them buy their way into the new Pac
twelve and step up in life. So a lot of
these people are trying it because if they have the
money and the backing behind them, and it's such a
crazy time and the getting is good, you can make
a run. Now when you try to buy your way in,
everybody else has to share revenue with you at some point, right,
(08:42):
So that's probably a stumbling block. But I see the
same thing happening at a lot of places. The UNLV situation,
Brady is really interesting because, like I said, everybody wants
you in LV, but I think they have to get
out of this weird contractuble thing where if you LV comes,
they bring Reno and a lot of people don't know,
(09:03):
Like Reno's like a nine hour drive from Las Vegas
and it's like the most desolate drive in the history
of mankind, and it's a little place that, Yeah, they
can have success and Colin Kaepernick and Chris Alt and
a lot of different good things have happened in Nevada,
but right now they're more of a basketball school and
(09:24):
they are a big hindrance to UNLV climbing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Up in the world of college football.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But hopefully we just have the games coming up soon,
which is happening, and we don't have to talk as
much about our very unsavory offseason.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So same state, completely different worlds between Reno and Vegas, basically.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean it's still I mean, I still find both
places to be starkly depressing, regardless.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Of Yeah, by the way, how was your drive out there?
Because you didn't want to take the flight so you drove.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, I don't know if I'd do that again, Like,
I hate flying, but the I've made me nervous too.
I was fine until I ran into a haboob or
whatever a monsoon on the way home.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh did you really around State line? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And it was it was frightening. A big somebody's trailer
hitch flipped in front of me. There was a big
rig accident in front of me, huge like crazy dust
storms that look like, wow, that's like targeting my car
as it crosses the freeway. And it was a lot. Yeah,
(10:31):
heavy rain and one hundred and twenty degrees pretty gnarly.
So yeah, I might fly next time, considering that I
think I'm going to travel a little bit more this
year for some of the games I do, So I'm
gonna have to buck up, maybe get some some xanax
or see the psychiatrist.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Hell yeah, the old p on the road. Do you
know any of your schedule? Do you know?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
We tentatively, Tentatively they said I open at Washington with
Colorado State, which would be a great game.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I love that Colorado State quarterback Nicolosi.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
The guy that got into it was shoulder, and uh,
Washington's got a new quarterback, runs around a whole bunch,
so we'll see.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Uh, it may be, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I was told one year that I was going to
be Tim Branda's sideline analyst and then it changed. So
whenever they tell you what you're doing a lot of
the time, unless you're Brady, you know on Big News.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Okay, easy, real quick, before we move on with whatever
you're gonna say next, I mean, is that a good thing?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Then?
Speaker 6 (11:29):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Well? I mean, you're not doing the sidelines with Brando? No,
that was like years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Oh okay, I thought, you know. I mean what I'm
saying is things change. Sometimes they tell you what you're
going to do and then it changes. Yes, but I'm
just saying I already know what you're gonna do. But well,
sometimes sometimes they don't tell you at all. Then things
just kind of happen and you're like, right, yeah, this
is happening. Now you react to that. Yeah, great deal
of confusion as the dominoes fall on the college football season.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But yeah, that's what it looks like. Now.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It looks like maybe opening up. Been in a Seattle,
which would be great. I've been in Seattle since like
last year or two years ago.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Where are you with the whole college football expansion for
the playoff? Do you care at this point how many
teams do we have? Now we're twelve, all right? How
many do they want?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Sixteen? At them all? Make it seventy?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Right, they're just gonna I mean at this point that
we have done such rapid change in the last seven
eight years that I mean, they're just hitting the gas
and completely and totally retransforming the sport. And part of
it is because of what's happened the TV. The TV
(12:43):
companies have taken over and that's where the money is
and that's what's driving the revenue, and that's what's driving
basically the decision making. I think the biggest problem is
the TV networks can't get along the way we thought
that might be able to maybe maybe five years ago
when a lot of this started, we thought the TV
(13:04):
networks would be able to kind of make decisions together
or help create a new super league or something to
kind of get away from the confusion of the NCAA.
And I don't know if you thought that, Brady, but
I certainly thought that we would have a little bit
more uniformity. But I think Fox and ESPN and the
(13:27):
SEC and Big Big ten as their proxies, see it
so differently from each other and how they want to
go about this that we're kind of in the same
holding pattern as ever, at least we have games to
concentrate on and have fun.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
With it in the next few weeks.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
That's what we've been kind of saying, right like, it's
kind of nice just to be able to have football
coming back soon as we have to talk.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
About all this stuff. Yeah, everything else, sude.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I mean, here's the biggest difference. The NFL. It obviously
dictates you know, who's a part of it, and obviously
you know you had streaming services who want to get
in on this, and you know, Fox and CBS and ABC, ESPN, NBC,
they're all kind of boxing them out for now. That's
(14:10):
obviously cold, could very well change in college football. There's
not one kind of unifying approach, you know, whereas the
NFL can kind of dictate almost to a lot of
those who are you know, showing them. And the problem is,
I think that at times we try to make the
model of what college football is after what the NFL is,
(14:32):
and that's where just it can't work that way, right.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, I mean, yeah, that's kind of a college football is.
I remember ty Wellingham saying this to me in the
midst of a winless season. College football is great because
of the chaos. College football is great because we embrace
the chaos of young people with a tremendous amount of
(14:56):
responsibility on and off the field.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
The hash marks being where they are.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It creates big plays, mistakes, fun, excitement, improbability. That's the
greatness of college football. When we're playing games the off season,
we have a lot of that chaos. There's no game
to celebrate all we have. Look, Brady, you've done business
(15:23):
at universities for years. You happen to really love your
alma mater. But you also know what it's like to
do business with colleges or universities.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Not easy.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It seems like they're very big on the outside, but
when you're on the inside, it feels like a very
small world of a bunch of very petty people trying
to pull rank or tenure on each other. It's not
a fun place to work. You feel trapped when you
work at one college or one university, and it's kind
(15:55):
of it just feels like nobody can get out of
their way in the chaos of the off season.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We just you know.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
The NFL is a great example, but it's not fair
to compare college to it because it is one entity
with one person in charge and a group of owners
that create what you know, other than Al Davis and
the Raiders. They create uniformity and it makes it easy,
and it makes they know how to handle their off
season and so on and so forth. And you can
(16:24):
say the same even about leagues that aren't as celebrated.
The NBA does a better job with their off season.
The MLB. My god, here in town in LA, they
throw off season parties.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
They sign some Japanese guy who's a superstar.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
The whole collective media comes out to meet a guy
named Roki Sasaki or Yoshi Yamamoto.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
They do a better job in the off season.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
In college we don't have any agreement or uniformity, so
our off season is basically just a bunch of people
suing each other, and politicians grandstanding, and teams trying to
go back on their word. And that's the other thing.
Like somebody pointed this out to me in football a
long time ago. It's like all anybody ever does in
(17:12):
college football is use this lip service about you know,
we're together, we're a team, we're all for one and
one for all, and we don't bend for anybody. We
keep our values and this and that, and we keep
our word. And then most of college football is just
trying to get out of like a contract that you
signed and not keep your word. You get a kid
(17:34):
who's verbally committed to somebody, and you sit there and
use all these platitudes about being an honorable person, and
then your whole life is to try to get a
seventeen year old to go back on his word and
commit to you. You know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
So there's a great deal of hypocrisy.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
The biggest one, probably, Brady, is the fact that we
have this major, multi billion dollar sport somehow wrapped up
with it, I mean completely within the roots and totally
wrapped up as it's like unable to separate, like a
tumor within our institutions of higher education and research. And
(18:13):
how did that happen. It happened naturally, and it happened
over you know, the span of hundreds of years. But
right now we're in this hyper speed money grab and yeah,
it's it's it's harder and harder to enjoy the season
when the off season sucks so much.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Speaking of the NFL petros, I saw on your social
media you claim that your friend built the Packers new
locker room.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, that's my friend, my friend Darren Vieira, who was
the captain of a US baseball team. It's an amazing
story because this guy wanted to be an architect, but
he was a really good baseball player. And his older brother,
who I knew really well, was a pitcher at USC.
(18:58):
He was more of a position player ended up being
the captain. But you can't be an architect and play
baseball at USC or any sport because of when the
classes are you know how some of that stuff goes.
So he went he became like an English major, went
through college and then went to architecture school when he
(19:19):
was done at USC and he's built all k He
built an amphitheater in Nashville. He built I think he's
building fixing the redoing Baylor's baseball field by the by
the river there on the strong arms of the brass
in Waco. He did the RAMS facility in where is
(19:41):
that Woodland Hills, and he's doing and he just finished
the Packers locker room. So he's been out in Lambeau
a bunch and sending me videos of like watching a
guy you know, playing guitar at some beer bar, you know.
But yeah, he's an old friend of mine, very proud
of him. Darren Vierre is his name, and he is
(20:02):
a Architecture is one of the great arts. And we
have to build better buildings and more and more inspiring buildings, you.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Like you look at like churches and buildings and things
they built, you know, in the last century and before,
and there's great inspiration and human endeavor in those things.
And then all of a sudden they started building like
these communist block looking things everywhere, and it's like, I
don't want to live in a society like that. I
want stuff to look cool like it did in the
twenties and all these different styles of building. And uh,
(20:37):
there's a great book about architecture and individual thought by
an Rand called The fountain Head that always reminds me
of my friend Darren whenever I see something new that
he's built.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
But yes, thank you for mentioning me.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Well, I mean, anything out here you build is probably
get end up with graffiti on the side of it,
so there's always that time.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No, No, we're in great shape here in La We
only have three like giant, like fifty story zombie death
high rises right that Staple Center is in the shadow
of And we're in great shape because we got the
Olympics come in, and we got the World Cup before that,
and we got three zombie death towers. And then you know,
(21:18):
every once in a while, like every night there's a
street takeover and somebody's business gets looted and blown out.
We're doing good.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
That's awesome out here. You know, I guess you didn't
drive out to Vegas Brady. But you know, on the
way out you can see in prim Nevada that Buffalo
Bills is closed. Now, Whiskey Peetz is closed, Terribles is closed.
You know, there's some real blown out buildings in Vegas,
(21:48):
like toward the state line. And that's pretty much how
we are in LA all the time. Blown out, blown
out and closed and desolate and post apocalyptic.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Is that how you described the Dodgers at this point
in the year, Patrick, It's not good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, they're not playing well.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I mean the four Hunnarned runs last night, a bunch
of airs. The other night, Kershaw was, you know, beating
the bench with his with his glove.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Uh, it's not good. Now.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I think they're still in first place, but they're not
playing good baseball. And you know this happens in a
baseball season, has a lot of ups and downs. But
they're they're not They don't seem like they're on the
same page, and they don't seem to have I don't
know where the leadership, Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman and
these guys. They're gonna have to find some kind of way.
(22:38):
But we needed a little bit too, you know, we
have to have every once in a while you have
to bring out the Panic Brothers and hit the button
and get the fans a little riled up, because otherwise
the baseball season is not sound like, well we.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Have like we have a we have a.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Sound bite, you know, and then they're it's like a
pad O'Brien the imitation or padd O'Brien clip.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Where he's like, I'm not panict, I'm not pandect.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We you have to and nobody wants to. Like you
bring people on and they're like, it's gonna be fine.
Don't you remember last year when it was like, yeah,
but that's no fun. We got a panic you know,
we gotta we gotta live for the moment. But uh,
it's getting a little bit worse than the Panic Brothers.
The Dodgers seem to be playing uninspired baseball, which is
not a good thing at any time of the season.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Maybe they're bored, you know, they're just waiting for the
postseason to get here and hopefully things will turn back around.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Well, I mean, that's not a good way to look.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
At it, but yes, agreed. Well, at least Otani's playing well,
there is that, so he's he he's holding up his
end of.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
The bargain, and people are buying three hundred dollars jerseys.
I guess that's all that really matters.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Petros always appreciate it. You can get him on X
at the Old p He is the co host of
the Petros and Money Show, where the Panic Brothers can
be heard on the blow tour to earlier the Fox
College football analysts. By the way, speaking of late, that
Washington game is an eight o'clock kick. Yeah, so you
(24:10):
you're gonna be up late for that one.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
There's something else twenty four hour restaurant at Seattle that's
probably closed and blown out and looted called thirteen Coins.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah. I got head over to thirteen Coins after the game.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I saw Jed Fish last night. He had just gotten
in and I asked him, said, I said, did you
give your players, you know, curfew?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
He said no, and I'm like, oh, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
He goes, yeah, but he goes, I did tell them
that if you show up tomorrow there's any news about you.
He's like, You've ruined your career. He's like, if you're
dumb enough to do something that you'll get in trouble
for with your one opportunity to have fun in a
place like Las Vegas. So here's the difference, though, Petros,
could you imagine having nil money at that age like
these kids do now? They actually can go and enjoy themselves.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
And no no adventure there do I know, because none
of us would even be in school because we'd all
be thrown out fear.
Speaker 2 (25:09):

Yeah, you blubber litame in me.
Speaker 7 (26:17):

Coming up a little over ten minutes from now, with
lead to lap Gone, We're going to.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Have something called Coop's Leftovers and who the hell knows
what Superstar Justin Cooper has got in store for us
as a close up shop here on a Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
That's right, superstar, I.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Mean he did. He did discuss a ketemine overdose last hour.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
So that was a little bit much.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
I'm more curious just to talk about his childhood career ac.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Should we just asked him questions about.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's going off? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
That works all right, so we will get that for you.
Coming up here a little over twelve minutes from.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Now, Jasin Cooper.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
If anybody was wondering whether or not Mike Rabel was
back in the NFL, don't worry. He's back, so much
so that he took time to remind everybody that he's
back when he was asked a similar question about conditioning
for his players from Ben Volan, who covers the Patriots
there locally. Mike Rabel had this to say in response
(28:02):
to the question he had just received moments prior.
Speaker 9 (28:06):
I mean, whether you were in a como when I
answered Tom's question or typing on your phone or tweeting.
I don't know, but I spent five minutes answering that question,
and I can go back through it, but i'd rather not.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
We won't know. We did pretty good on the linear
run test, which they practiced. They know what it was
going to be.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
The big thing will come when they're in line contact.
I mean, and you're sitting there, you're wrestling with a guy,
and then the d lineman's rushing. He almost gets to
the quarterback or we're telling him to plant and run
and go sprint to the football and then go do
it again. While we're asking Kyle Williams to go run
a post and he didn't get the ball. But he
wanted to get the ball, but he didn't. Can he
(28:51):
run back, get set, know what to do the next play.
That's really where we'll see.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So I'll be.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
Able to answer that question again, hopefully only once in
a few days.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I love my framble so much.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I mean, it's it's such a combination. What's great about it.
It's a combination of him who he is. It's a
bit of the sense of Belichick, right from all the
years he was around Belichick and the.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Influence it's had on him.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
And it's just it's awesome that it's back into England,
like he's able to follow in the footsteps in a
way of Bill Belichick with a manner in which he
is able to handle the media and you and you
feel like you can push back against some of those guys,
which is great.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It was What was funny is that while he's going
through his explanation, you could tell towards the end he
was trying not to laugh because he knew he was
being a pain in the ass, but he was kind
of having fun with it. And it does it does
make you question, all right, so why was he no
longer fit for the job in Tennessee? Like why was that?
Like why why was that the decision they wanted to
make as an organization. It's very very strange. But now
(29:56):
they're on onto another coach. But yeah, he does feel
like the perfect guy for New England like that, that's
the perfect hire. And it's why Robert Kraft went as
as hard at Mike for Abel as he did to
where it was basically a formality. They interviewed some other
candidates quickly, but they wanted to hire Mike for Abel
as soon as possible because Girod Mayo just was not
(30:17):
a fit, even though he'd been there for a long time.
Rabel seems like a home run higher for New England
and they could be sneaky good next year. By the way,
I think they're the kindish. I think they're going to
be better in the Dolphins next year.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
I mean, it all depends on Drake May, you know,
and really how he continues to evolve. Josh McDaniels is
one of the better offensive play callers and minds, and
then can they provided him protection and everything else out
around him.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I think defensively they'll be fine. It really, to me.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Comes down to the growth of Drake May. And the
tough thing is they're not going to surpass Buffalo in
that division, but could they be that next team? I mean,
we know the Jets are a big question mark. I mean,
you know, new head coach, new quarterback with Justin Fields.
He still has a lot to prove too. Even though
it's a talented roster, there's still a lot of questions there,
(31:07):
and Miami's in a it feels like make or break year,
So it could be New England.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
That surprises a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
This year ends up maybe biting for a wildcard spot,
but at least second in the division as everyone's chasing Buffalo.
I mean, I don't think there's no one even close
to Buffalo right now.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
By the way, what did Prisco call Miami camp softy?
Is that he just watched.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
I don't know he makes these comments yet he hates
going anywhere cold, so again, his entire perspective on you know,
why there shouldn't be games in the winter time is
because he doesn't like actually working in the media and
having to stand out in the cold to do a
postgame hit. Like that's what this is all born out of.
(31:51):
And he'll say it's oh, it's gonna you know, impact
the passers and the and the win that I'm like, dude,
wind impacts throwing more than anything else. It could be
ninety degrees and Sonny and still super windy like that.
That's not what it is. It's the cold with him,
like he just doesn't like the cool. He you know,
lived in Florida's whole life went Arizona State and the
(32:14):
rest is kind of history.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, so Prisco will be at a camp softie for
the last place Dolphins coming up. Yeah, I'm gonna go
ahead and call my shot there. The Dolphins are going
to finish last in that division. I'm not ready to
give away my picks just yet. Knocks right, I'm not
ready to give away all my picks yet, but you
can I can assure you that Miami Dolphins will be
last when we're doing our picks, and hopefully this year
(32:38):
when it gets to the AFC South, LeVar actually picks
that division. Because if you remember last year and we
were doing our season picks, LaVar just skipped the AFC South.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Sticks picks. Yeah, it was nothing, was absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
He literally skipped a division. They got it though.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Right, which the worst part is is like he thought
he did the work, but he actually did nothing, and
then he tried to defend himself. It's like, can you
just admit when you don't do something like it's okay,
just radio.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
This isn't like a homework excigement.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
It's not a quiz or a test like it's okay,
it's just to say like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I didn't do it. Yeah, I didn't do anything. So
so it's all right.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, we're coming up on about a month away till

feel about that, Brady Quinn, but some people have had I'm.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Not aware of any of what's happening right now. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
When LeVar and I were doing the show, they started
calling it black and Drack okay, because he's black. I
don't know if you knew that.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
And of course what you're a Dracula, yes, and so
then they thought, what about Brack and Drack?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I mean there was a little spin off on.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
It, but I feel like you really like it because
the whole Dracula thing, Like, you don't you don't mind that.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
You've been called much worse, so you'll you'll accept the draft.
Speaker 1 (34:53):

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Sounds incredible, but they're still good. Time to find out
what's lap It's Lee's lapovers?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, well kind of lease not here, so we do
have some leftovers. And so do you have any questions
you want to ask Coop about his child acting career, Brady,
because I've got.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Yeah, I actually have a lot of questions. The first
being this though, Coop. So when you're a childhood actor,
I feel like you're not far removed from like a
like a pet that's on like a TV show or
a movie. Is that kind of similar to how you're
like erected and how your coached everything. When you're out there,
they're like, are they like, oh good boy?
Speaker 10 (36:04):
Yeah, great jot, Like, how exactly does that work? Yeah,
I mean that can happen. There's but it depends on
like who it's coming from, because there's there's that vibe
and then there's also kind of a lot of times
that I experienced where you've got like the really seasoned
actor and it's just kind of like, you know, we're
(36:29):
we're doing the expect to be.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
A professional when you're like, yes, I mean, how old
were you when you're acting?
Speaker 10 (36:34):
I started when I was like four, and I went
till I was like thirteen.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
And by the way, for people listening, you were the
star of Liar Liar and Dennis the Menace.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
Right strikes again?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Okay, yeah, but yeah you were the Liar Liar.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Do I mean again, in that particular case, you're working
with like a star like Jim Carrey.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
How is he to work with? He was awesome?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (36:59):
I think a big part of what, you know, how
your experience as a child actor, you know, pans out,
is how involved your parent is and how on top
of things they are. Because my mom was very much
she's oh, she's like.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
A dance mom. She's like there all the time and.
Speaker 10 (37:16):
Just always always there. And I feel like a lot
of the times when you have like the child actors
that you know go awry and you know, get into
drugs and flame out, like like the the Amanda Buys types.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
And I don't know specifically her story, by the way,
you know, she crashed into my buddies like right right
in front of my buddy's house in Thousand Oaks, Like
that was right in front of his house.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
His dad actually came out and found her. Was she
having a car or a car?
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well?
Speaker 10 (37:45):
You know, And I feel like a lot of times
when that sort of thing's happened, it's the parent is
kind of just like, oh, yeah, you know, go ahead,
you know, do do whatever, just like you know, do
whatever you want with my kid. But my mom was
not like she she went up to Jim Carrey at
the start and was like, you do not curse around
my child.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
She was giving Jim Carrey the business.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah, good, this is great, This is great, all right, Coop?
Which actor did you work with that you would not
be surprised if they were at a ditty party?
Speaker 10 (38:18):
Uh? I don't know that I want to answer this?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I don't.
Speaker 10 (38:23):
I don't know that anybody that I worked with would
have been at a ditty part.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Who is the biggest weirdo?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (38:30):
He's going to take this on a terrible tangent, Coop,
don't listen to what he's asking you. These are I
actually want to know something real. How do you rememberize lines?
Is there a method to that?
Speaker 10 (38:44):
I just always had a really good I don't I
don't know if you can call it photographic memory.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I guess.
Speaker 10 (38:52):
I would just have to kind of read through the
script once and I would kind of I would know it.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
So there's no way that you could, like someone could
coach you or teach you and how to remember this stuff.
Speaker 10 (39:05):
I imagine you can. It's not something that that I
ever needed to do. In fact, it was kind of
something that I remember co stars getting annoyed with because
like they would forget their line and they'd be like
line and then and then I would say what their
line was.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I'm sure get beat.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Up because didn't know some stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
You're no locker.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Was it Marlon Brando who had an earpiece when he
was acting? Or he had Q cards. I've heard that
some actors will have Q cards that camera.
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Yeah, that happens sometimes.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yeah, Now Marlon Brando's how old?
Speaker 1 (39:41):
But I think there's Dan Yeah, yeah he is.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
You're bringing up somebod who's not even alive to the
age gabber to spirit.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Between Coop and Parland.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Brando, it's an actor like Coop knows all these people.
Come on, you've got your sad cards. Yeah, I'm sure
you've met Marlon Brando a number of times.
Speaker 10 (39:59):
That's that's one that I did not meet.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Unfortunately. Good stories. Listen, I thought we got something done here,
you know.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
H
All right, two pros and a cup of Joe. Fox
Sports Radio Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. You
can listen to us on the iHeartRadio app. There's hundreds
of affiliates all across the country where you can find
us as well too. And we are going to take
you all the way up on this Wednesday morning until
the end of this hour nine am Eastern time, six
(00:21):
o'clock Pacific. But we've got traditions here on this show,
and we've got none better than the one and only
Petros Papadakis, the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM five to
seventy LA Sports Fox College Football Analyst. You can also
get them on x at the old pe Petros, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
How you feeling Will I'm all right, I'm here, Yeah
you are? What's going on? Is everybody at the Big
ten media Day?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Everyone?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Not everyone? Brady, I'm here, okay.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
How was before we get to that? How was Mountain
West days?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Intros the Death of the Mountain West.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Saw the Mountain West Commissioner at like a cocktail party
and she was like.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We're just going to concentrate on this year. You know,
I was like, yeah, for.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Sure, did you have any fun interactions with Timmy Chang
again or no?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah? Yeah, I love Timmy Chang.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Actually it was great to talk about Hawaii football with him,
and they had a much better year than anybody thought.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And his old defensive or his defensive.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Coordinator is the guy that recruited me at USC Dennis Thurman,
an old All American from there. Yeah DT no way,
a Cowboys USC All American Santa Monica High school legend.
So I go way back with old dt uh from
my brother's days and being recruited. So that was cool
(01:53):
to catch up with Timmy Chang. There are some actually
really interesting coaches in that league, and you know, for
fifteen minutes alone with each of them is always rewarding.
Troy Calhoun is great from Air Force and has been
there forever. Last place he coached was the Houston Texans,
(02:14):
and he was telling me about how they didn't pick
Vince Young or Reggie Bush and why and all that
when they had the first pick in the draft so
many years ago. And ken Nea Motalolo, who was at
Navy for like twenty eight years and now San Jose State.
Is interesting to talk to Bronco Mendenhall, very professorial now
(02:37):
at Utah State, and then Dan Mullen who's now at UNLV.
Who's really I mean, it's crazy what's happened to UNLV.
And yes, they've always had not always, but in the
last you know, ten to fifteen years, they've had this
big donor for Tita, one of the guys that owns
(02:58):
the when they owned the Houston Rockets and they own
a whole bunch of stuff in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You still in the UFC, right, yeah, yeah, and they
had a huge donor there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But now that Vegas is like a town, as you know,
with the A's coming and you got the hockey team
and you have maybe hoops come in and all of
these the Raiders and the fact that they play an
allegiance now.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
UNLV.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Other than the fact that I think there's some contract
stipulation that means wherever they go they have to bring
Nevada with them, which is kind of like having to
bring cousin Eddie with you, you know, to a bougie party.
But I mean, Reno is a trip, right, And I
like that coach too. Chote who was with sark at Texas,
(03:50):
but UNLV is really on the come up, and it
was interesting talking to Dan Mullen, who's made a lot
of money coaching in the SEC and saying, you know,
I'm going to have a rank here in Vegas as
a coach. You and help me with my wife, and
nobody cares and doesn't matter. They don't say you've got
to be at the office.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You know. It was interesting talking all these different guys.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
So it was actually, even though the Mountain West is dying,
it seems or will look a lot different next year.
People do want nighttime time slots, so we'll see how
it shakes out.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But I had a picture how different.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Does it sound with Dan Mullen talking from his perspective
at UNLV versus like if he was in like Starkville,
you know, does he think will you be able to
go out in Starkville?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
No? That was his point, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I mean he was saying that the SEC, the amount
of pressure that they put on you is almost not
worth it, which is very interesting because you know who
else I talked to was the new Fresno coach, Matt Entz,
who is a great coach. He was at USC last year,
coaching linebackers. But he was the head coach championship head
(04:56):
coach at North Dakota State. So he was one of
those like Chris Cleman who's at Kansas State or I
don't know if Leipold was there, but he has a
background in small universities, But Dickert was at North Dakota State.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't think he was the head coach.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Craig Bowl from Wyoming was at North Dakota State, and
these guys all say the same thing. They were miserable
and fargo and not because of the weather and all
that and what you're used to. But if you win
thirteen games and lose one, they tell you for three
months that you're a failure and it's sixty below you know.
The second you know, you lose it in December or whatever,
(05:37):
and it's sixty below and they tell you you're a failure
for the rest of the year. These guys can't wait
to get out of there. But that guy, Matt Enttz
was at USC last year and now he's the head
coach at Fresno and he was interesting to talk to too.
They talked about that fish bowl of North Dakota State,
and I think It's very similar to an SEC school
(05:57):
where I mean, look, you want to have at the
best thing you can have to have success as a
college football coach is the ad, the president of the university,
and the head coach and the whole staff all on
the same page, right like Oklahoma used to have when
Bob Stoops was there. Everybody holds you up, everybody holds
(06:21):
the program up. I'd imagine it's not very different at
Penn State or places like that, but you have to
have that. But if you do have that, like every
SEC school where everybody's aligned to have a great football program,
you would do end up in a more money, more
problem situation where the amount of pressure to win on
(06:41):
these coaches is huge and they're scared to have a
drink with their wife.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
In front of everybody.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Petros, I want to ask you because when you brought
up NLV, and with the recent news of Memphis trying
to jump into what is a Big twelve and the
Big twelve just stiff armed them, UNLV is like that
team that I feel like if they try to join
another conference and try to leap up, it would maybe
make some sense given the progress they made, the money
they've got and just the venue in general. But I'm
(07:09):
just curious to get your thoughts on just that whole situation,
which I don't know if Memhis wanted to become public,
but it became public, and it's probably not good for Memphis,
and I don't know if it's good for college football.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Are they They're in the AAC now and they're trying
to get out, and you know, everybody's trying to step up,
and these teams that have money can do it fast
out here on the West coast. You know who was
doing that, who has a lot of money and you
wouldn't even know his Sacramento State like they've been making
(07:41):
a push. Remember they interviewed Michael Vick. They ended up
hiring the guy that was coaching at UNLV last year,
a very innovative offensive coordinator, Brennan Marion of the go
go offense that he named when he was the coordinator
at Howard.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Not a dance style.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It is actually a musical genre from Washington, d C.
The go go offense, And he's taken it to Sacramento
State and they have a lot of money and they're
trying to buy their way in and they got stiff
armed a couple times, but they're on the come up.
One that really can move is Texas State, right, the Bobcats.
(08:19):
We saw them buy their way into the new Pac
twelve and step up in life. So a lot of
these people are trying it because if they have the
money and the backing behind them, and it's such a
crazy time and the getting is good, you can make
a run. Now when you try to buy your way in,
everybody else has to share revenue with you at some point, right,
(08:42):
So that's probably a stumbling block. But I see the
same thing happening at a lot of places. The UNLV situation,
Brady is really interesting because, like I said, everybody wants
you in LV, but I think they have to get
out of this weird contractuble thing where if you LV comes,
they bring Reno and a lot of people don't know,
(09:03):
Like Reno's like a nine hour drive from Las Vegas
and it's like the most desolate drive in the history
of mankind, and it's a little place that, Yeah, they
can have success and Colin Kaepernick and Chris Alt and
a lot of different good things have happened in Nevada,
but right now they're more of a basketball school and
(09:24):
they are a big hindrance to UNLV climbing.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Up in the world of college football.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But hopefully we just have the games coming up soon,
which is happening, and we don't have to talk as
much about our very unsavory offseason.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So same state, completely different worlds between Reno and Vegas, basically.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I mean it's still I mean, I still find both
places to be starkly depressing, regardless.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Of Yeah, by the way, how was your drive out there?
Because you didn't want to take the flight so you drove.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, I don't know if I'd do that again, Like,
I hate flying, but the I've made me nervous too.
I was fine until I ran into a haboob or
whatever a monsoon on the way home.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh did you really around State line? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And it was it was frightening. A big somebody's trailer
hitch flipped in front of me. There was a big
rig accident in front of me, huge like crazy dust
storms that look like, wow, that's like targeting my car
as it crosses the freeway. And it was a lot. Yeah,
(10:31):
heavy rain and one hundred and twenty degrees pretty gnarly.
So yeah, I might fly next time, considering that I
think I'm going to travel a little bit more this
year for some of the games I do, So I'm
gonna have to buck up, maybe get some some xanax
or see the psychiatrist.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Hell yeah, the old p on the road. Do you
know any of your schedule? Do you know?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
We tentatively, Tentatively they said I open at Washington with
Colorado State, which would be a great game.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I love that Colorado State quarterback Nicolosi.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
The guy that got into it was shoulder, and uh,
Washington's got a new quarterback, runs around a whole bunch,
so we'll see.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Uh, it may be, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I was told one year that I was going to
be Tim Branda's sideline analyst and then it changed. So
whenever they tell you what you're doing a lot of
the time, unless you're Brady, you know on Big News.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Okay, easy, real quick, before we move on with whatever
you're gonna say next, I mean, is that a good thing?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Then?
Speaker 6 (11:29):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Well? I mean, you're not doing the sidelines with Brando? No,
that was like years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Oh okay, I thought, you know. I mean what I'm
saying is things change. Sometimes they tell you what you're
going to do and then it changes. Yes, but I'm
just saying I already know what you're gonna do. But well,
sometimes sometimes they don't tell you at all. Then things
just kind of happen and you're like, right, yeah, this
is happening. Now you react to that. Yeah, great deal
of confusion as the dominoes fall on the college football season.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But yeah, that's what it looks like. Now.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It looks like maybe opening up. Been in a Seattle,
which would be great. I've been in Seattle since like
last year or two years ago.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Where are you with the whole college football expansion for
the playoff? Do you care at this point how many
teams do we have? Now we're twelve, all right? How
many do they want?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Sixteen? At them all? Make it seventy?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Right, they're just gonna I mean at this point that
we have done such rapid change in the last seven
eight years that I mean, they're just hitting the gas
and completely and totally retransforming the sport. And part of
it is because of what's happened the TV. The TV
(12:43):
companies have taken over and that's where the money is
and that's what's driving the revenue, and that's what's driving
basically the decision making. I think the biggest problem is
the TV networks can't get along the way we thought
that might be able to maybe maybe five years ago
when a lot of this started, we thought the TV
(13:04):
networks would be able to kind of make decisions together
or help create a new super league or something to
kind of get away from the confusion of the NCAA.
And I don't know if you thought that, Brady, but
I certainly thought that we would have a little bit
more uniformity. But I think Fox and ESPN and the
(13:27):
SEC and Big Big ten as their proxies, see it
so differently from each other and how they want to
go about this that we're kind of in the same
holding pattern as ever, at least we have games to
concentrate on and have fun.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
With it in the next few weeks.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
That's what we've been kind of saying, right like, it's
kind of nice just to be able to have football
coming back soon as we have to talk.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
About all this stuff. Yeah, everything else, sude.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I mean, here's the biggest difference. The NFL. It obviously
dictates you know, who's a part of it, and obviously
you know you had streaming services who want to get
in on this, and you know, Fox and CBS and ABC, ESPN, NBC,
they're all kind of boxing them out for now. That's
(14:10):
obviously cold, could very well change in college football. There's
not one kind of unifying approach, you know, whereas the
NFL can kind of dictate almost to a lot of
those who are you know, showing them. And the problem is,
I think that at times we try to make the
model of what college football is after what the NFL is,
(14:32):
and that's where just it can't work that way, right.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, I mean, yeah, that's kind of a college football is.
I remember ty Wellingham saying this to me in the
midst of a winless season. College football is great because
of the chaos. College football is great because we embrace
the chaos of young people with a tremendous amount of
(14:56):
responsibility on and off the field.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
The hash marks being where they are.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
It creates big plays, mistakes, fun, excitement, improbability. That's the
greatness of college football. When we're playing games the off season,
we have a lot of that chaos. There's no game
to celebrate all we have. Look, Brady, you've done business
(15:23):
at universities for years. You happen to really love your
alma mater. But you also know what it's like to
do business with colleges or universities.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Not easy.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It seems like they're very big on the outside, but
when you're on the inside, it feels like a very
small world of a bunch of very petty people trying
to pull rank or tenure on each other. It's not
a fun place to work. You feel trapped when you
work at one college or one university, and it's kind
(15:55):
of it just feels like nobody can get out of
their way in the chaos of the off season.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
We just you know.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
The NFL is a great example, but it's not fair
to compare college to it because it is one entity
with one person in charge and a group of owners
that create what you know, other than Al Davis and
the Raiders. They create uniformity and it makes it easy,
and it makes they know how to handle their off
season and so on and so forth. And you can
(16:24):
say the same even about leagues that aren't as celebrated.
The NBA does a better job with their off season.
The MLB. My god, here in town in LA, they
throw off season parties.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
They sign some Japanese guy who's a superstar.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
The whole collective media comes out to meet a guy
named Roki Sasaki or Yoshi Yamamoto.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
They do a better job in the off season.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
In college we don't have any agreement or uniformity, so
our off season is basically just a bunch of people
suing each other, and politicians grandstanding, and teams trying to
go back on their word. And that's the other thing.
Like somebody pointed this out to me in football a
long time ago. It's like all anybody ever does in
(17:12):
college football is use this lip service about you know,
we're together, we're a team, we're all for one and
one for all, and we don't bend for anybody. We
keep our values and this and that, and we keep
our word. And then most of college football is just
trying to get out of like a contract that you
signed and not keep your word. You get a kid
(17:34):
who's verbally committed to somebody, and you sit there and
use all these platitudes about being an honorable person, and
then your whole life is to try to get a
seventeen year old to go back on his word and
commit to you. You know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
So there's a great deal of hypocrisy.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
The biggest one, probably, Brady, is the fact that we
have this major, multi billion dollar sport somehow wrapped up
with it, I mean completely within the roots and totally
wrapped up as it's like unable to separate, like a
tumor within our institutions of higher education and research. And
(18:13):
how did that happen. It happened naturally, and it happened
over you know, the span of hundreds of years. But
right now we're in this hyper speed money grab and yeah,
it's it's it's harder and harder to enjoy the season
when the off season sucks so much.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Speaking of the NFL petros, I saw on your social
media you claim that your friend built the Packers new
locker room.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, that's my friend, my friend Darren Vieira, who was
the captain of a US baseball team. It's an amazing
story because this guy wanted to be an architect, but
he was a really good baseball player. And his older brother,
who I knew really well, was a pitcher at USC.
(18:58):
He was more of a position player ended up being
the captain. But you can't be an architect and play
baseball at USC or any sport because of when the
classes are you know how some of that stuff goes.
So he went he became like an English major, went
through college and then went to architecture school when he
(19:19):
was done at USC and he's built all k He
built an amphitheater in Nashville. He built I think he's
building fixing the redoing Baylor's baseball field by the by
the river there on the strong arms of the brass
in Waco. He did the RAMS facility in where is
(19:41):
that Woodland Hills, and he's doing and he just finished
the Packers locker room. So he's been out in Lambeau
a bunch and sending me videos of like watching a
guy you know, playing guitar at some beer bar, you know.
But yeah, he's an old friend of mine, very proud
of him. Darren Vierre is his name, and he is
(20:02):
a Architecture is one of the great arts. And we
have to build better buildings and more and more inspiring buildings, you.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Like you look at like churches and buildings and things
they built, you know, in the last century and before,
and there's great inspiration and human endeavor in those things.
And then all of a sudden they started building like
these communist block looking things everywhere, and it's like, I
don't want to live in a society like that. I
want stuff to look cool like it did in the
twenties and all these different styles of building. And uh,
(20:37):
there's a great book about architecture and individual thought by
an Rand called The fountain Head that always reminds me
of my friend Darren whenever I see something new that
he's built.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
But yes, thank you for mentioning me.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Well, I mean, anything out here you build is probably
get end up with graffiti on the side of it,
so there's always that time.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No, No, we're in great shape here in La We
only have three like giant, like fifty story zombie death
high rises right that Staple Center is in the shadow
of And we're in great shape because we got the
Olympics come in, and we got the World Cup before that,
and we got three zombie death towers. And then you know,
(21:18):
every once in a while, like every night there's a
street takeover and somebody's business gets looted and blown out.
We're doing good.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
That sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
That's awesome out here. You know, I guess you didn't
drive out to Vegas Brady. But you know, on the
way out you can see in prim Nevada that Buffalo
Bills is closed. Now, Whiskey Peetz is closed, Terribles is closed.
You know, there's some real blown out buildings in Vegas,
(21:48):
like toward the state line. And that's pretty much how
we are in LA all the time. Blown out, blown
out and closed and desolate and post apocalyptic.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Is that how you described the Dodgers at this point
in the year, Patrick, It's not good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, they're not playing well.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I mean the four Hunnarned runs last night, a bunch
of airs. The other night, Kershaw was, you know, beating
the bench with his with his glove.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Uh, it's not good. Now.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I think they're still in first place, but they're not
playing good baseball. And you know this happens in a
baseball season, has a lot of ups and downs. But
they're they're not They don't seem like they're on the
same page, and they don't seem to have I don't
know where the leadership, Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman and
these guys. They're gonna have to find some kind of way.
(22:38):
But we needed a little bit too, you know, we
have to have every once in a while you have
to bring out the Panic Brothers and hit the button
and get the fans a little riled up, because otherwise
the baseball season is not sound like, well we.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Have like we have a we have a.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Sound bite, you know, and then they're it's like a
pad O'Brien the imitation or padd O'Brien clip.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Where he's like, I'm not panict, I'm not pandect.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We you have to and nobody wants to. Like you
bring people on and they're like, it's gonna be fine.
Don't you remember last year when it was like, yeah,
but that's no fun. We got a panic you know,
we gotta we gotta live for the moment. But uh,
it's getting a little bit worse than the Panic Brothers.
The Dodgers seem to be playing uninspired baseball, which is
not a good thing at any time of the season.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Maybe they're bored, you know, they're just waiting for the
postseason to get here and hopefully things will turn back around.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Well, I mean, that's not a good way to look.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
At it, but yes, agreed. Well, at least Otani's playing well,
there is that, so he's he he's holding up his
end of.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
The bargain, and people are buying three hundred dollars jerseys.
I guess that's all that really matters.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Petros always appreciate it. You can get him on X
at the Old p He is the co host of
the Petros and Money Show, where the Panic Brothers can
be heard on the blow tour to earlier the Fox
College football analysts. By the way, speaking of late, that
Washington game is an eight o'clock kick. Yeah, so you
(24:10):
you're gonna be up late for that one.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
There's something else twenty four hour restaurant at Seattle that's
probably closed and blown out and looted called thirteen Coins.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah. I got head over to thirteen Coins after the game.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
I saw Jed Fish last night. He had just gotten
in and I asked him, said, I said, did you
give your players, you know, curfew?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
He said no, and I'm like, oh, all right.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
He goes, yeah, but he goes, I did tell them
that if you show up tomorrow there's any news about you.
He's like, You've ruined your career. He's like, if you're
dumb enough to do something that you'll get in trouble
for with your one opportunity to have fun in a
place like Las Vegas. So here's the difference, though, Petros,
could you imagine having nil money at that age like
these kids do now? They actually can go and enjoy themselves.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
And no no adventure there do I know, because none
of us would even be in school because we'd all
be thrown out fear.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
No, do I have.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Nil money on the internet still exists? Yes, yeah, I'm
going back to the mental hospital.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Petros. We appreciate it. We'll do it again next week.
All right there, he is the great Petros Papadakas with
us year on Fox Sports Radio. It is Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe here on FSR. Coming up
next though, he's back. The NFL needed him and he
is officially back based on what we heard yesterday, and
he's yours right here on FSR.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific

five to seven pm Eastern, but here's the thing. I
ever have enough time to get to everything we want
to get to.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, you blubber litame in me.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
After show called over Promised.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 8 (26:45):

Coming up a little over ten minutes from now, with
lead to lap Gone, We're going to.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Have something called Coop's Leftovers and who the hell knows
what Superstar Justin Cooper has got in store for us
as a close up shop here on a Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
That's right, superstar, I.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Mean he did. He did discuss a ketemine overdose last hour.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
So that was a little bit much.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
I'm more curious just to talk about his childhood career ac.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Should we just asked him questions about.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
That's going off? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
That works all right, so we will get that for you.
Coming up here a little over twelve minutes from.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Now, Jasin Cooper.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
If anybody was wondering whether or not Mike Rabel was
back in the NFL, don't worry. He's back, so much
so that he took time to remind everybody that he's
back when he was asked a similar question about conditioning
for his players from Ben Volan, who covers the Patriots
there locally. Mike Rabel had this to say in response
(28:02):
to the question he had just received moments prior.
Speaker 9 (28:06):
I mean, whether you were in a como when I
answered Tom's question or typing on your phone or tweeting.
I don't know, but I spent five minutes answering that question,
and I can go back through it, but i'd rather not.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
We won't know. We did pretty good on the linear
run test, which they practiced. They know what it was
going to be.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
The big thing will come when they're in line contact.
I mean, and you're sitting there, you're wrestling with a guy,
and then the d lineman's rushing. He almost gets to
the quarterback or we're telling him to plant and run
and go sprint to the football and then go do
it again. While we're asking Kyle Williams to go run
a post and he didn't get the ball. But he
wanted to get the ball, but he didn't. Can he
(28:51):
run back, get set, know what to do the next play.
That's really where we'll see.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So I'll be.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
Able to answer that question again, hopefully only once in
a few days.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I love my framble so much.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I mean, it's it's such a combination. What's great about it.
It's a combination of him who he is. It's a
bit of the sense of Belichick, right from all the
years he was around Belichick and the.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Influence it's had on him.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
And it's just it's awesome that it's back into England,
like he's able to follow in the footsteps in a
way of Bill Belichick with a manner in which he
is able to handle the media and you and you
feel like you can push back against some of those guys,
which is great.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
It was What was funny is that while he's going
through his explanation, you could tell towards the end he
was trying not to laugh because he knew he was
being a pain in the ass, but he was kind
of having fun with it. And it does it does
make you question, all right, so why was he no
longer fit for the job in Tennessee? Like why was that?
Like why why was that the decision they wanted to
make as an organization. It's very very strange. But now
(29:56):
they're on onto another coach. But yeah, he does feel
like the perfect guy for New England like that, that's
the perfect hire. And it's why Robert Kraft went as
as hard at Mike for Abel as he did to
where it was basically a formality. They interviewed some other
candidates quickly, but they wanted to hire Mike for Abel
as soon as possible because Girod Mayo just was not
(30:17):
a fit, even though he'd been there for a long time.
Rabel seems like a home run higher for New England
and they could be sneaky good next year. By the way,
I think they're the kindish. I think they're going to
be better in the Dolphins next year.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
I mean, it all depends on Drake May, you know,
and really how he continues to evolve. Josh McDaniels is
one of the better offensive play callers and minds, and
then can they provided him protection and everything else out
around him.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I think defensively they'll be fine. It really, to me.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Comes down to the growth of Drake May. And the
tough thing is they're not going to surpass Buffalo in
that division, but could they be that next team? I mean,
we know the Jets are a big question mark. I mean,
you know, new head coach, new quarterback with Justin Fields.
He still has a lot to prove too. Even though
it's a talented roster, there's still a lot of questions there,
(31:07):
and Miami's in a it feels like make or break year,
So it could be New England.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
That surprises a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
This year ends up maybe biting for a wildcard spot,
but at least second in the division as everyone's chasing Buffalo.
I mean, I don't think there's no one even close
to Buffalo right now.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
By the way, what did Prisco call Miami camp softy?
Is that he just watched.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Something like that.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
I don't know he makes these comments yet he hates
going anywhere cold, so again, his entire perspective on you know,
why there shouldn't be games in the winter time is
because he doesn't like actually working in the media and
having to stand out in the cold to do a
postgame hit. Like that's what this is all born out of.
(31:51):
And he'll say it's oh, it's gonna you know, impact
the passers and the and the win that I'm like, dude,
wind impacts throwing more than anything else. It could be
ninety degrees and Sonny and still super windy like that.
That's not what it is. It's the cold with him,
like he just doesn't like the cool. He you know,
lived in Florida's whole life went Arizona State and the
(32:14):
rest is kind of history.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, so Prisco will be at a camp softie for
the last place Dolphins coming up. Yeah, I'm gonna go
ahead and call my shot there. The Dolphins are going
to finish last in that division. I'm not ready to
give away my picks just yet. Knocks right, I'm not
ready to give away all my picks yet, but you
can I can assure you that Miami Dolphins will be
last when we're doing our picks, and hopefully this year
(32:38):
when it gets to the AFC South, LeVar actually picks
that division. Because if you remember last year and we
were doing our season picks, LaVar just skipped the AFC South.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Sticks picks. Yeah, it was nothing, was absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
He literally skipped a division. They got it though.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Right, which the worst part is is like he thought
he did the work, but he actually did nothing, and
then he tried to defend himself. It's like, can you
just admit when you don't do something like it's okay,
just radio.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
This isn't like a homework excigement.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
It's not a quiz or a test like it's okay,
it's just to say like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I didn't do it. Yeah, I didn't do anything. So
so it's all right.

Not aware of any of what's happening right now. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
When LeVar and I were doing the show, they started

don't know if you knew that.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
And of course what you're a Dracula, yes, and so

It, but I feel like you really like it because

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Sounds incredible, but they're still good. Time to find out
what's lap It's Lee's lapovers?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, well kind of lease not here, so we do
have some leftovers. And so do you have any questions
you want to ask Coop about his child acting career, Brady,
because I've got.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
Yeah, I actually have a lot of questions. The first
being this though, Coop. So when you're a childhood actor,
I feel like you're not far removed from like a
like a pet that's on like a TV show or
a movie. Is that kind of similar to how you're
like erected and how your coached everything. When you're out there,
they're like, are they like, oh good boy?
Speaker 10 (36:04):
Yeah, great jot, Like, how exactly does that work? Yeah,
I mean that can happen. There's but it depends on
like who it's coming from, because there's there's that vibe
and then there's also kind of a lot of times
that I experienced where you've got like the really seasoned
actor and it's just kind of like, you know, we're
(36:29):
we're doing the expect to be.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
A professional when you're like, yes, I mean, how old
were you when you're acting?
Speaker 10 (36:34):
I started when I was like four, and I went
till I was like thirteen.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
And by the way, for people listening, you were the
star of Liar Liar and Dennis the Menace.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
Right strikes again?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Okay, yeah, but yeah you were the Liar Liar.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Do I mean again, in that particular case, you're working
with like a star like Jim Carrey.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
How is he to work with? He was awesome?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (36:59):
I think a big part of what, you know, how
your experience as a child actor, you know, pans out,
is how involved your parent is and how on top
of things they are. Because my mom was very much
she's oh, she's like.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
A dance mom. She's like there all the time and.
Speaker 10 (37:16):
Just always always there. And I feel like a lot
of the times when you have like the child actors
that you know go awry and you know, get into
drugs and flame out, like like the the Amanda Buys types.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
And I don't know specifically her story, by the way,
you know, she crashed into my buddies like right right
in front of my buddy's house in Thousand Oaks, Like
that was right in front of his house.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
His dad actually came out and found her. Was she
having a car or a car?
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well?
Speaker 10 (37:45):
You know, And I feel like a lot of times
when that sort of thing's happened, it's the parent is
kind of just like, oh, yeah, you know, go ahead,
you know, do do whatever, just like you know, do
whatever you want with my kid. But my mom was
not like she she went up to Jim Carrey at
the start and was like, you do not curse around
my child.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
She was giving Jim Carrey the business.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah, good, this is great, This is great, all right, Coop?
Which actor did you work with that you would not
be surprised if they were at a ditty party?
Speaker 10 (38:18):
Uh? I don't know that I want to answer this?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I don't.
Speaker 10 (38:23):
I don't know that anybody that I worked with would
have been at a ditty part.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Who is the biggest weirdo?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (38:30):
He's going to take this on a terrible tangent, Coop,
don't listen to what he's asking you. These are I
actually want to know something real. How do you rememberize lines?
Is there a method to that?
Speaker 10 (38:44):
I just always had a really good I don't I
don't know if you can call it photographic memory.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I guess.
Speaker 10 (38:52):
I would just have to kind of read through the
script once and I would kind of I would know it.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
So there's no way that you could, like someone could
coach you or teach you and how to remember this stuff.
Speaker 10 (39:05):
I imagine you can. It's not something that that I
ever needed to do. In fact, it was kind of
something that I remember co stars getting annoyed with because
like they would forget their line and they'd be like
line and then and then I would say what their
line was.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I'm sure get beat.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Up because didn't know some stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
You're no locker.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Was it Marlon Brando who had an earpiece when he
was acting? Or he had Q cards. I've heard that
some actors will have Q cards that camera.
Speaker 10 (39:35):
Yeah, that happens sometimes.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yeah, Now Marlon Brando's how old?
Speaker 1 (39:41):
But I think there's Dan Yeah, yeah he is.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (39:46):
You're bringing up somebod who's not even alive to the
age gabber to spirit.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Between Coop and Parland.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Brando, it's an actor like Coop knows all these people.
Come on, you've got your sad cards. Yeah, I'm sure
you've met Marlon Brando a number of times.
Speaker 10 (39:59):
That's that's one that I did not meet.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Unfortunately. Good stories. Listen, I thought we got something done here,
you know.
