across the sea.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
I love that joint. When I you know, watched Thirteenth Warrior,
you know, they laughing at.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
The hot waves. He wasn't laughing at the hot waves. No, nah,

Speaker 4 (01:44):
He was on the rack, so tire had no tread right.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
See. Congratulations to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They stay alive. They
win last night in Dallas. Tough game, hard fought Karl
Anthony Town. I mean, look, I don't know if it's
outside the realm of possibility that we could just give
him the Western Conference Finals MVP at this point and
then you know, we'd just be happy with the results
(02:12):
based on what happened last night. Listen, I'm gonna support
the guy. He needs a little bit of help here.
He can't get any love from anybody on the air,
so he needs some love. I'm going to give him
some love four for five from three after that abysmal
performance throughout the first couple of games of the series.
Now we've got a Game five coming up on Thursday night,
and I think they're gonna win. I think it's going six.
(02:33):
So if anybody wants to make a little bit of money,
go ahead and bet on the Timberwolves by double digits.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Gohied you you want it, you go ahead and tell you.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I don't really have much more to add outside of
the fact that I'm not sure it goes to six.
I'm not sure that Dallas Mavericks by and large, I
mean Hardy and some other shadow kay off the bench.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
But I don't think it goes to six. I just don't.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I think Dallas is the better team than a bad
shooting night Luca. As we kind of touched on earlier,
this shit show just seemed a little bit off despite
the fact that you didn't have a triple double.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
So I don't really have much more to.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Add to it, you know, I just I don't think
I know what Anthony Edwards said, and it was great
to see him kind of own up to that and
then win.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
You know Game four, I just I feel like this
is gonna be a short lived.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Dame.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You know, it's kind of sweet on draft kings.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I'm sweet.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You can adjust the line, the betting line, So like
this game is, Minnesota is a minus four and a
half heading into game five, so they're four and a
half point favorite coming up at home. I think they're
gonna win by double digits. So if I just adjusted
the line and put the point spread at ten in
favor of Minnesota, that payout would be plus two hundred.
(03:45):
So you're looking at it a two to one payout
just because I've given you the result of the game
ahead of time. You know, it's like Biff and the
Sports Almanac in the movie Lead to Lapse. Dad was
in just like, I'm telling you what's gonna happen, and
we're gonna be here at a game six coming up
here soon, and then all the pressure goes over to
the Dallas Mavericks. Just is what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You know, how many Timberwolves scored over.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Twenty points in the last game, Not this one that
just passed, but the last game.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
One Anthony Edwards all took.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Okay, now in the game before where we're talking about
and feeling good about one.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Nas.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Read right, Nas puts up twenty three points, So they
had two dudes that broke broke twenty points because Anthony Edwards, yeah,
he broke twenty in that game as well.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
But what concerns me is, I said, I if Karl.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Anthony Towns doesn't make those shots, knock those those threes
off and take the you know, the whole shooting from
three point numbers off of that, and he's somewhere around
twelve teen points, Well that's where he's at in these
games that he's not hitting those points. He's around fifteen
points of what the last the last game he was
(05:12):
at fifteen points, So he had fifteen points in the
last two games.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I'm saying my confidence level for the Timberwolves to be
able to turn this into a series is based off
of Carl Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert being dominant forces
in the game. That gives you a big three in
the game. And then if you get the contributions from
Nas and and and others like especially nas And when
(05:40):
he's on, then you're going to have enough points to
be able to make it a really you can close
a game against them, because that's been their biggest thing.
They haven't closed the games out against the Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
It's just disrespectful. Let me, Brady, have you taken your
kids still like a theme park and they've gotten a
picture with their favorite character at the theme park or
something like that, you.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Know, because I make sure my kids don't look up
the theme park characters.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I'm just saying, like when they when they go to
a theme park, did they ever get like want something
or want to take a picture with something, or want
a prize or a toy?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
They really don't. They always want a toy. They went like,
not a prize, but they want to like get something.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Okay, they're spoilt and like, what's the what's the Imagine
if Mickey Mouse was walking around talking about go like
what that goofy? Goofy don't walk around trying to be
something Mouse, thank you? Imagine if Goofy was walking around
talking about am I c why?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Like what my point is if if the little girls
want like a Mickey Mouse bubble maker, Brady wouldn't go
on the air the next day and burry Mickey Mouse
and mock him and ridicule him and call him, quote
unquote a bum. Karl Anthony Towns gave your son his wristband,
(07:00):
Yes he did, and you came on the air the
next day and you said he should be cut.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I did not say that.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
You said, and I quote, I would take Caitlyn Clark
over Karl Anthony town to day.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I mean I'm not.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I mean, I mean I didn't say it, but I mean,
since you said it, who am I trusting to take
a three pointer right now? Carl Anthony Towns or Kitlyn Clark?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Saying? By the way she.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Put thirty last night, I think I'm just said that
she started to look here, if I had to choose
right now, who I want taking that three ball?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Like, I know, all the weights of the ball are different. Yeah,
I get all that, but Katelyn Clark can shoot that pill.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
All I'm saying is Carl Anthony Towns is a big man.
What is he listed on on the on the roster
of eighty four forward or center one of the two?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It could be whatever he wants. After the last nast performance.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
I mean, listen, if you're talking about a guy who
has to play classically the role of uh Steph Curry
classically the role of Robert or.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He's Steph Curry sitting on somebody's shoulders.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Classic classic role of Ray Allen, like Paul Pierce, Like,
what the hell are we looking at? At Carl Anthony
Towns to be the designated three point shooter at seven
foot It doesn't make sense. It does not make sense.
(08:40):
And the only time you see him near the rim
on the offensive side of the court is if he
gets the ball beyond the arc, somewhere near and around
there and drives to the hole. If I'm sitting there
and I'm I'm the Dallas Mavericks, I say we're going
to take our chances. If this guy is gonna sit
(09:00):
out here and and and we think that he's gonna
make four to three pointers during the course of the.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Game, I can live with that.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
We got a gate, a three game lead, a three
three game wins league.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I can live with that.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Don't let anybody de up, d up and collapse on
and and and rush rush Anthony Edwards. Make sure that
you limit nas on Heim shooting, because I actually am
more afraid of him shooting threes and getting hot than
Carl Anthony Towns. And make sure, you move quickly around
Rudy Gobert so he gets confused and dizzy and starts
looking like a top out there.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
You know, you like the little top, little toy, and
you spend.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
That spinning top like this dude don't be knowing where
the hell he's at half the time because of how
quickly they be moving around him. If you can keep
go Bear off balance, and you can let Carl Anthony
Towns feel like he's gonna win the game by shooting.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Three pointers, this game is going to be over. The
next game Thursday, that game.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Be over, This series will be over. Defend yourself, jonas.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Well, I'll just say this, all right, if you want
to start for Chef, Yeah, Mickey Mouse is not good,
right or or you know he's and Goofy is and
Mickey Mouse stop acting like a three point shooter.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Get somewhere inside the paint.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So so you don't like him pretending to be something range,
all right? So well you know what I don't like
what you don't like. I also don't like Justin Fields
being painted out to be a specials teamer, all right,
some kid.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Exactly, Yeah, even if he may be good at it,
even if he may have a couple decent returns. Gave
something that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And when it got brought up return and when it
got brought up to him, he laughed at it. He
laughed in its face, as he should. He's a quarterback.
He's played, he's played good football. And we don't even
need to sound from justin Fields. We don't even need it.
I support justin fields. You're a quarterback, you're too good
to be a kick returner. And and the fact that
this was your team, he said, listen, it was more
(10:59):
of a Joe king manor the special teams coach brought
it up. I don't think he really good. It shouldn't
be taken serious. Guy's a quarterback. He's going to get
an opportunity. He's played good football before. Enough with this
crap and this nickel and dime. Well, we've got to
use him somehow. Let's throw him back there to return kicks.
Enough is enough. He should put his foot down and
if they try and force him to do it, he
(11:19):
should refuse to play and go sign with the UFL.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Dang, yeah, that's what I think.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
One a cute. I mean, he totally switched subjects like
he made a hard you turn out of Karl Anthony
Towns to I'd like to segue, I mean he's asking,
he's talking about somebody being something they're not, Carl that
three point.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Let me just give his context, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So I believe it was Jalen Warren who might have
let the cat out of the bag by Hockey on
Cam Hayward's podcast and mentioned something in regards to the
Special teams coach Danny Smith.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I believe it who.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Is in Pittsburgh talking about Justin Fields potentially being a returner.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Now. Justin Fields responded to it laughing because.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
He was like, hey man, this is just like a
figure of speech, right, like anyone could play special teams.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
The only thing I'd say about that.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Is, I guess there's a few things. Fields is an
incredible athlete. I'm sure they're sitting there looking at him
on the bench thinking, you know, is he gonna be
able to run the offense and operation the same way
Russell Wilson can? Maybe not, but we still feel like
he's one of our best athletes. Do we have a
package for him? Do we put him on special teams?
Allow him to get in there and do something like
(12:27):
there's probably all these thoughts of how you get justin
fields on the field but still allow yourself to feel
like you're running an offense that you can win and
win football games with.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
So there's that element of it. There's also the element
of he didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Say Russell Wilson, Like if a special teams coach said, like, hey,
even Russe will be out the thrown, he didn't say Russell.
And these two are supposed to be in a quarterback competition,
and he did use justin fields as an example of that.
So is there a chance that they're trying to hide
what is a secret with a new kickoff rule, you know,
a way of getting him the ball an opportunity to
(13:00):
do something dynamic because he is capable of that. So
maybe they did let the cat out of the bag
a little bit, and maybe it's not necessarily misidentifying like
what he is or is capable of doing.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
I mean, he's a ball handler, right, and he's fast.
You could do some reverses, you can do some some
just throw it back across the Motor City miracle type
stuff action exactly. There are a few things that you
can do. But let's be clear here, what you can't
do is get him hurt on a kickoff.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Let that happen.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Let somebody like, uh, a grown ass goon that that's
on that kickoff team. See Justin Fields back there, and
he looking like a nice fresh piece of meat. And
he goes and gets him and and takes half of
his leg off of him and heads back to the sideline.
And they got to come scoop Justin Fields off the ground.
He's on his rookie contract, so you can in a
(13:52):
way be like, ah, well, you know, we can justify
we were trying to get him on the field. We
were trying to do some things, get some reps on him,
you know, create a different look. Okay, and then something
happens with Russ. Rust starts playing poor ruts, Russ goes
down with an injury.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What are you doing then?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
And then you know what, the Pittsburgh Faithful We're going
to say, you had Justin Fields returning kickoffs. We lost
our backup quarterback, which I wasn't even fully sold on
our starting quarterback to begin with, And you're gonna let
him allow him to go out there and get hurt
on special teams?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Do you really want to take that change?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Have you guys ever told a coach no, He says, hey, listen,
I want you to go do this, like, you know,
play this or go be five.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I've never said no because I'm a team player, but
I'm I.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Don't I don't think i've said no.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But I also wasn't asked to, you know, play special teams,
which I mean not since like early years in high school,
you know, was I asked to do special teams?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
So I guess the coast.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Was when you did special teams? Did you run down
on kickoff? And were you a zap wetch breaker? That
was no, Probably a safety dude, like if they get
out of the first gate, you gotta be able to
run him down and stop him. Like you can put
dudes out there that you don't want to get hurt
out there as like safety valves, like I'm gonna put
the fastest.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Guy out here.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
If he breaks through our defense, you got to run
him down. Like that makes sense. But if you're putting
someone like justin Fields who you don't really know yet
what he's going to represent to your team, r I
feel like that might be a poor to suit me.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now, this literally could have been something that was kind
of put out there, and then it could have just
been coach talk in the sense of, you know, Danny
Smith is sitting there and say, hey.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Man, you know that's how you're gonna make this. This
is all gonna make the team. This is how you're
gonna make it in the league.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You gotta play special teams or you keep like you know,
anyone could play, and even justin fields.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
It could have been sitting right in front of him, right.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Does that get no more value?
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Q if he does that because he's not playing and
he's like basically at the end of his contract, he's
got one year to prove it if he's not getting
out there on the field because Russ is playing well,
Does this give him any added value on the market
if they don't bring them back.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
No, because I think it lends itself to say, all right,
is he gonna make a position transition, which which.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I don't you know, I think he's a real prior
type stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Sure it's Treel pryor or whoever youre going to throw
in the conversation Malie Cunningham.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Just get he's a wide receiver in Baltimore now right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Which she was again, well, he's doing both a little different, right,
I mean, Justin Fields was prolific at times in his
college career and has displayed the ability to play at
the NFL level from the pocket. So I don't even
want to compare the two because to me, they're not
really a comparable.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
How you Lash, you can compare him the slash and
Pittsburgh did a lot with slash. Is this slash two
point oh? Is this Cordelle Stoart two point oh? In
Pittsburgh They're going to put him at receiver, putting Matt
tail back? Like I mean, is this what if there's
a team that would do it, it would probably be Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It's disrespectful. Man, Tang played good football, all right.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
You as a starter.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
And now they talking about we having a debate on
Fox Sports Radio right at five seventeen, eight seventeen somewhere
in the world. We're talking about if a former starting
quarterback is going to now be the guy, yeah that
turns kickoffs and punts, you know, for the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's unfortunate. Well listen now, I'll tell you what is fortunate.
It's two pros and a cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio. And coming up next from these Tirek
dot com studios. It's the old pe Petros Papaekis and listen.
We don't want to do this, but there is some
quote unquote breaking news that's out there that we've got
to get Petros's reaction to. That'll be yours next here
(17:42):
on FSR.

Speaker 7 (18:04):
All happening in only one place. This League Uncut, the
new NBA podcast with me Chris.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Haynes and me Mark Stein join us.
Speaker 7 (18:14):

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio coming up here in about twenty minutes from
now from the Tyrak dot Com Studios, we are going
to have the BQ news, but right now it is
a Wednesday tradition. He's the old p on Twitter. He
is 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 and
(18:51):
Petros good morning, Yeah, big breaking news. Pee the number
fifty four prospect in the draft on some draft boards.
Let's go to stay.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
I set my alarm for five am to do this,
and I wake up and I check the headlines and
that's the number one headline that Bronnie James is staying
in the draft. Yes, and Rich Paul told ESPN exclusively
like two hours before the deadline. Hours before the deadline,
(19:24):
every was like, you know, a guy being executed and
waiting for the pardon from the governor, and you're sitting
in the electric chair and then finally the call comes
in and right is the switch is being pulled. Don't
do it, don't do it. He's gonna stay, you know,
let's work it out. He's gonna stay in the draft.
So uh rat, I'm you know, it's interesting. I hate
(19:46):
coming on and doing a Bronnie James thing every single
time we do this.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But it is interesting that.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
And we talked to Bill Plashki about this, the La
Times columnist who wins all those awards every year is
the best sports writer in the country. And I think
Bill had it right. He just said, the whole thing's
a fade to complete Lebron's coming back to the Lakers.
He's running that franchise. They're too weak to do anything
else and too scared to do anything else, apparently, and
(20:19):
they're gonna end up bringing Brownny there one way or another,
and however it works out the way they want it.
For clutch sports, they're going to have it their way,
like Burger king and all of this other stuff. We're doing,
all of these gymnastics, this BS headline that we all
have to pay attention to today when there's other stuff
going on.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
What else is going on?
Speaker 9 (20:40):
I'm not sure, but there's got to be something else
than this, But all of this is just, I don't know,
mutual masturbation gymnastics. Dang, really, I mean that's what it
seems like. I mean, all of this, we're just going
through the motions. We should be talking about the Mavericks
or whether the Celtics or whatever. But instead we're talking
(21:03):
about the worst prospect in one of the worst drafts
in NBA history. I mean, isn't that what we've been
doing for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. And
the reason we're doing it is because he's somebody's son.
And that's fine, but it's not because he's somebody's son.
The reason we're doing it is because he's somebody's son.
And the dad, who is extremely powerful, has been nothing
(21:25):
but delusional and obnoxious regarding this whole situation. I don't
James for it, no, how can you. We've only heard
it Burdon speak once, you know. I mean, there's but
whatever's going on around him is pretty I guess, confounding
if you're annoyed by the way the modern sports media works.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And I don't even know.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
What that means. I don't even know what the modern
sports media is. But just saying those three words feels bad.
It's not good, right. I Mean, when Steven A. Smith
is the head of the snake, we're probably in trouble
as far as the modern sports media goes.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And that's just it's sad.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
It's just sad that this is us in the spring
and I can't wait for the summer.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Petros, what about it?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
He thought?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
I mean, he's still really young. I mean, it could
be a late bloomer.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Does he continue to grow, continues to develop, maybe into
more of the type of player that you know three
four years down the road that we look at and say, no,
look they got it right, Like he wasn't quite there then,
but there was a lot of upside. There's the gene
there or lineage. I mean, is there any thought in
the back of your mind for that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I don't know. I mean, I just I know it
doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I mean, well, so let me push back because I
don't agree with that. There's plenty of times we see
guys who've played the NFL and people will look at Suns,
look at their lineage and say, I'm willing to take
a chance on him, even though he's not a finished
product now, and I think he can develop through his
time in college, et cetera.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Yeah, we're not talking about Ironhead Hayward's kid here, Cam Hayward.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
By I mean, if you guys haven't watched.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Craig Ironhead Hayward who's passed away, if you have not
watched his video. If you've not watched that guy's highlight
tape running the ball at like two ninety at pitt
And and mostly for the Saints, it's pretty sweet. No,
I understand what you're saying, Brady, I don't. I adhere
to people I know quite well. And I know a
(23:32):
guy who is quite involved with the draft and quite
involved with developing prospects and working people out for the draft,
and was at this combine because it's such a bad
draft that he had to go to this combine and
sell his guys more than they normally do. And the
(23:52):
general consensus from all of those people we talked to
on and off the air is not an NBA prospect.
They're not saying not an NBA prospect, but it just
and this is and football I think is a little
different because you can play with aggression and violence and
emotion and serve a purpose and you could be super
(24:16):
limited in one way and still really serve a purpose
in another. I don't really think that's the case in
modern basketball, at least not to that extreme. So that
would be my argument there. But I don't know enough.
Like I'm not a basketball like, I'm not a basketball
draft expert. All I know is that this is BS,
and I mean it's clearly BS because and that's what
(24:39):
bothers me. But what bothers me about modern day sports
is we're presented with a table of crap and then
we sit there and sift through it for like months
to try to see if there's like a peanut in there,
and it's not worth it, you know, it's it's not
worth our time and yet we've spent seven minutes on
it over.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah, I feel like because you, I feel like this
is more comparable to the Griffies than it is to
the Haywards.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
That was an odd poll from you, Petros. Why the Haywards.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, I'm kind of a guy who played football.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Yeah, dad played for That was the first one you
came to though, Like I like, Craig, I don't.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Know you would wait to get to that. I'm just saying.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I mean, I feel like Petros, you you gotta give
credit where credit is due. I mean, Bronnie James has
put himself in a position to be like Ken Griffy
Junior to his dad kN kN Griffy the Senior and
be in the same league, and you know there may
be a story where you know, you know, lebron scores
(25:44):
you know, twenty points in the game, and then Bronni
comes back and scores twenty one or twenty three in
the same game on the same team. Because he's probably
getting drafted by the Lakers. That's they probably confirmed that art. Yeah,
I mean, how to me? I think that that's how
you got to look at it, right, I mean, and
they called him Junior, they called him the kid. Don't
you think that one of these nicknames will find itself
(26:05):
landing on you can't even get through Don't you think
that one of these can't even get through it.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I'm just trying to state I'm stating the positive in.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
The I feel you No, No, I mean the positive
there is that.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
The kid doesn't fall on Brownie James the kid like.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Isn't isn't the NEPO Baby's probably?
Speaker 9 (26:27):
But isn't Ken Griffy one of the greatest baseball players
and prospects of all time?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yea? And it isn't that what they said about bron.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Isn't his swing like the greatest swing in the history
of baseball?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Shot?
Speaker 9 (26:43):
I saw Ken Griffy Junior a few times when his
son was playing receiver for Arizona. And by the way,
we did not like, even though Ken Griffy is one
of the great he's a Hall.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Of Famer, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Even though he's a Hall of Famer, we didn't do
the whole open about his kid, who was the seventh
receiver on the Arizona team that was five hundred. You
know what I'm saying, Like, isn't that comparable? Like why haven't?
And I thought Kendrick Perkins made a good point the
other day, even though I think those shows are so ridiculous.
Kendrick Perkins said, we didn't do this for Scotty Pippens kid.
(27:17):
And I get it that Scottie Pippens not Lebron, but
it's just odd that we've gone this far for this
one guy and we don't go we don't even go
ten yards for any of these other guys kids. But
I do remember seeing Ken Griffy a lot on the
road and stuff when I was covering that team, or
did a couple games or three or four when his
son was playing, and we'd see him at restaurants and
(27:40):
stuff after the games, and I was like, dude, that
guy is fat and small and he's one of the
great baseball players of all time. Like you know, you
see Shoe Aotani or Freddie Freeman or like Aaron.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Judge, are like, damn, you know, that's a big guy.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
But every once in a while you see these other
baseball guys like stand nex to Mookie Betts, and you're like,
you know, yeah, I can see why all the dads
in my neighborhood think that their one loser kid is
going to be the next big time baseball player, because
you can be like just sort of a normal looking
guy and be a great baseball star. And that really
is not the case in the NBA really, or or football.
(28:19):
You got to kind of pass the eyeball test just
walking in the door. But yeah, I remember Griffy's kid,
and we didn't freak out about him in the open.
By the way, I should never ever met a cat.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Like an old man, so to feel to get off
the front lawn.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, Ken Griffy Senior, not a Hall of Famer, but
still a great career. The drunk one was he?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
The drunker was a Barry Bonds's dad.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
How would you describe Patrick Mahomes dad?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Petros that's what they think of it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Take the keys.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
Well, it a that's like the old Billy Joel joke
right back when Billy Joel was like driving into people, know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And it's an it's.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Well, Billy Joel is actually very humorous. But uh but
Billy Joel, for a time, I had a real problem
drinking and driving and was just crashing almost into every house.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, it was rough, it was rough.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
And uh you know uh and uh I remember somebody
was like, Billy's great, don't give him the keys, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And that's kind of the city.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
That's that seems like the same situation with Mahomes's dad.
By the way, well lead, well, come on, it so
flat hunt. Uh my my, uh.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
We used to have an uncle.
Speaker 9 (29:38):
He died of alcoholism with my son bowl watch on
and buried in it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
By the time, uh.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
He got buried with your son bul watch on.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
You didn't have any other watch. But I had an
uncle who it was a bad alcoholic.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
His name was Alex Aleko uh in Greek, uncle Aleco,
and he used to watch the parking lot, uh at
the rest.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That my dad owned when I was a muscle kind
of yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
He was a big, red faced, very lanky, drunk face
and oh yeah, with like with a sweet black jet
black mummy.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
So he didn't have to red ass. He had to
red face.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I never saw his ass LeVar.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Oh oh, okay, I'm sorry, it would have been weird.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
No.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
No, So my dad used to uh, he used to
watch a parking lot. And when I was working at
the restaurant, my dad would get a water a glass
of water, a cup that we used for water, and
pour a cooking brandy Christian Brothers almost full no ice
into a water glass and he'd say.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Bring your uncle his medicine and I would run it.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
I would run across the street with the brandy twice
or three times a night for Alu. And then you know,
around ten, you know, and I was like nine, eight, ten,
And then around uh, you know, ten thirty eleven o'clock
at night, when things would start winding down, my dad
would say, tell Alex to drive you home, and I'd
(31:07):
be like, so he would drive us home and like
some gigantic canoe like.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You know, Pontiac, you know, from the seventies.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
And I and I remember, you know, being a little
kid and seeing stuff on the air about drunk driving
and all these things, and and all these commercials and
disclaimers and stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I remember asking my mom and saying.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
You know, I'm pretty sure you know Uncle Alex is drunk,
you know when he's driving us around.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
And my mom said, yes, but he's very careful.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
A different time. Fee By the way, didn't you say
I've heard you say on the air that your mom's
a big fan of gin?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Right we made wheat?
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Well, you know, to be honest, my mom is kind
of a space cadet and she's she's fine.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
She's a lovely lady, and she's from our.
Speaker 9 (32:01):
But I don't know what it was, but I was
doing a it's like some local TV interview when I
was playing at USC about Mother's Day, you know, around
spring football. So they came out to interview some of
the guys on the team about their mom. And I
don't know why I said it, but they're like, you know,
does your mom come to the games? And I said, well,
maybe if you put a bottle of gin on the
fifty yard line. And I mean, there was no reason
(32:25):
to say that it was defamatory and not even accurate,
although she isn't she was a gin drinker, you know,
but not not excessively.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
And so then you know, just from then on, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
I'd just be like, she's drunk, and we put my
dad on the radio and I'd be like, you know, dad,
is she all right? No?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I can't you know, she I can't get her out
of bed. She's drunk again, you know.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Like so.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
It just kind of became a developing joke. But she's
not really.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
A drunk breast cancer.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
She didn't bury we.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Godl sir Petros.

He was like a Hollywood guy when he died, you know,
he consulted on westerns and stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (34:34):
So he went from a straight cowboy gunslinger to uh
like almost he got Wayne John Wayne.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
Well John Wayne actually was a backup uh lineman at
the USC Yeah, under the name Marion Morrison Dang.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
So he set the tone for the rock I guess.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I mean, uh, he didn't play that much, neither.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
Did the rock, but uh, but there was a I
don't I don't.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
The bad his dudes on on the big screen. How
does that work?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Well, I mean, I don't know. It's probably like basketball
players and football players.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
You know, you're you're uh, you're the you're the weakest
guy in the football team, but everybody on the basketball
court is scared of you.

Speaker 4 (35:51):

a nine year old girl. Well, the nine year old
girl in her family decided to sue American Airlines.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
Well, the defense and legal team for American Airlines claimed
that the girl should have known she was being filmed
with what.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, clearly didn't go well in the look, and American
Airlines has now fired that legal team for taking that
stance after calling the girl saying it's her own fault
and she was negligent.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Wow, nine years old?
Speaker 5 (38:12):
Pretty crazy?
Speaker 4 (38:14):

Speaker 6 (01:12):
I love that joint. When I you know, watched Thirteenth Warrior,
you know, they laughing at.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
The hot waves. He wasn't laughing at the hot waves. No, nah,

Speaker 4 (01:44):
He was on the rack, so tire had no tread right.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
See. Congratulations to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They stay alive. They
win last night in Dallas. Tough game, hard fought Karl
Anthony Town. I mean, look, I don't know if it's
outside the realm of possibility that we could just give
him the Western Conference Finals MVP at this point and
then you know, we'd just be happy with the results
(02:12):
based on what happened last night. Listen, I'm gonna support
the guy. He needs a little bit of help here.
He can't get any love from anybody on the air,
so he needs some love. I'm going to give him
some love four for five from three after that abysmal
performance throughout the first couple of games of the series.
Now we've got a Game five coming up on Thursday night,
and I think they're gonna win. I think it's going six.
(02:33):
So if anybody wants to make a little bit of money,
go ahead and bet on the Timberwolves by double digits.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Gohied you you want it, you go ahead and tell you.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I don't really have much more to add outside of
the fact that I'm not sure it goes to six.
I'm not sure that Dallas Mavericks by and large, I
mean Hardy and some other shadow kay off the bench.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
But I don't think it goes to six. I just don't.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I think Dallas is the better team than a bad
shooting night Luca. As we kind of touched on earlier,
this shit show just seemed a little bit off despite
the fact that you didn't have a triple double.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
So I don't really have much more to.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Add to it, you know, I just I don't think
I know what Anthony Edwards said, and it was great
to see him kind of own up to that and
then win.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
You know Game four, I just I feel like this
is gonna be a short lived.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Dame.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You know, it's kind of sweet on draft kings.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I'm sweet.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You can adjust the line, the betting line, So like
this game is, Minnesota is a minus four and a
half heading into game five, so they're four and a
half point favorite coming up at home. I think they're
gonna win by double digits. So if I just adjusted
the line and put the point spread at ten in
favor of Minnesota, that payout would be plus two hundred.
(03:45):
So you're looking at it a two to one payout
just because I've given you the result of the game
ahead of time. You know, it's like Biff and the
Sports Almanac in the movie Lead to Lapse. Dad was
in just like, I'm telling you what's gonna happen, and
we're gonna be here at a game six coming up
here soon, and then all the pressure goes over to
the Dallas Mavericks. Just is what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You know, how many Timberwolves scored over.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Twenty points in the last game, Not this one that
just passed, but the last game.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
One Anthony Edwards all took.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Okay, now in the game before where we're talking about
and feeling good about one.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Nas.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Read right, Nas puts up twenty three points, So they
had two dudes that broke broke twenty points because Anthony Edwards, yeah,
he broke twenty in that game as well.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
But what concerns me is, I said, I if Karl.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Anthony Towns doesn't make those shots, knock those those threes
off and take the you know, the whole shooting from
three point numbers off of that, and he's somewhere around
twelve teen points, Well that's where he's at in these
games that he's not hitting those points. He's around fifteen
points of what the last the last game he was
(05:12):
at fifteen points, So he had fifteen points in the
last two games.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I'm saying my confidence level for the Timberwolves to be
able to turn this into a series is based off
of Carl Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert being dominant forces
in the game. That gives you a big three in
the game. And then if you get the contributions from
Nas and and and others like especially nas And when
(05:40):
he's on, then you're going to have enough points to
be able to make it a really you can close
a game against them, because that's been their biggest thing.
They haven't closed the games out against the Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
It's just disrespectful. Let me, Brady, have you taken your
kids still like a theme park and they've gotten a
picture with their favorite character at the theme park or
something like that, you.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Know, because I make sure my kids don't look up
the theme park characters.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I'm just saying, like when they when they go to
a theme park, did they ever get like want something
or want to take a picture with something, or want
a prize or a toy?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
They really don't. They always want a toy. They went like,
not a prize, but they want to like get something.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Okay, they're spoilt and like, what's the what's the Imagine
if Mickey Mouse was walking around talking about go like
what that goofy? Goofy don't walk around trying to be
something Mouse, thank you? Imagine if Goofy was walking around
talking about am I c why?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Like what my point is if if the little girls
want like a Mickey Mouse bubble maker, Brady wouldn't go
on the air the next day and burry Mickey Mouse
and mock him and ridicule him and call him, quote
unquote a bum. Karl Anthony Towns gave your son his wristband,
(07:00):
Yes he did, and you came on the air the
next day and you said he should be cut.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I did not say that.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
You said, and I quote, I would take Caitlyn Clark
over Karl Anthony town to day.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I mean I'm not.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I mean, I mean I didn't say it, but I mean,
since you said it, who am I trusting to take
a three pointer right now? Carl Anthony Towns or Kitlyn Clark?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Saying? By the way she.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Put thirty last night, I think I'm just said that
she started to look here, if I had to choose
right now, who I want taking that three ball?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Like, I know, all the weights of the ball are different. Yeah,
I get all that, but Katelyn Clark can shoot that pill.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
All I'm saying is Carl Anthony Towns is a big man.
What is he listed on on the on the roster
of eighty four forward or center one of the two?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It could be whatever he wants. After the last nast performance.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
I mean, listen, if you're talking about a guy who
has to play classically the role of uh Steph Curry
classically the role of Robert or.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He's Steph Curry sitting on somebody's shoulders.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Classic classic role of Ray Allen, like Paul Pierce, Like,
what the hell are we looking at? At Carl Anthony
Towns to be the designated three point shooter at seven
foot It doesn't make sense. It does not make sense.
(08:40):
And the only time you see him near the rim
on the offensive side of the court is if he
gets the ball beyond the arc, somewhere near and around
there and drives to the hole. If I'm sitting there
and I'm I'm the Dallas Mavericks, I say we're going
to take our chances. If this guy is gonna sit
(09:00):
out here and and and we think that he's gonna
make four to three pointers during the course of the.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Game, I can live with that.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
We got a gate, a three game lead, a three
three game wins league.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I can live with that.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Don't let anybody de up, d up and collapse on
and and and rush rush Anthony Edwards. Make sure that
you limit nas on Heim shooting, because I actually am
more afraid of him shooting threes and getting hot than
Carl Anthony Towns. And make sure, you move quickly around
Rudy Gobert so he gets confused and dizzy and starts
looking like a top out there.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
You know, you like the little top, little toy, and
you spend.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
That spinning top like this dude don't be knowing where
the hell he's at half the time because of how
quickly they be moving around him. If you can keep
go Bear off balance, and you can let Carl Anthony
Towns feel like he's gonna win the game by shooting.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Three pointers, this game is going to be over. The
next game Thursday, that game.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Be over, This series will be over. Defend yourself, jonas.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Well, I'll just say this, all right, if you want
to start for Chef, Yeah, Mickey Mouse is not good,
right or or you know he's and Goofy is and
Mickey Mouse stop acting like a three point shooter.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Get somewhere inside the paint.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So so you don't like him pretending to be something range,
all right? So well you know what I don't like
what you don't like. I also don't like Justin Fields
being painted out to be a specials teamer, all right,
some kid.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Exactly, Yeah, even if he may be good at it,
even if he may have a couple decent returns. Gave
something that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
And when it got brought up return and when it
got brought up to him, he laughed at it. He
laughed in its face, as he should. He's a quarterback.
He's played, he's played good football. And we don't even
need to sound from justin Fields. We don't even need it.
I support justin fields. You're a quarterback, you're too good
to be a kick returner. And and the fact that
this was your team, he said, listen, it was more
(10:59):
of a Joe king manor the special teams coach brought
it up. I don't think he really good. It shouldn't
be taken serious. Guy's a quarterback. He's going to get
an opportunity. He's played good football before. Enough with this
crap and this nickel and dime. Well, we've got to
use him somehow. Let's throw him back there to return kicks.
Enough is enough. He should put his foot down and
if they try and force him to do it, he
(11:19):
should refuse to play and go sign with the UFL.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Dang, yeah, that's what I think.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
One a cute. I mean, he totally switched subjects like
he made a hard you turn out of Karl Anthony
Towns to I'd like to segue, I mean he's asking,
he's talking about somebody being something they're not, Carl that
three point.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Let me just give his context, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So I believe it was Jalen Warren who might have
let the cat out of the bag by Hockey on
Cam Hayward's podcast and mentioned something in regards to the
Special teams coach Danny Smith.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I believe it who.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Is in Pittsburgh talking about Justin Fields potentially being a returner.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Now. Justin Fields responded to it laughing because.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
He was like, hey man, this is just like a
figure of speech, right, like anyone could play special teams.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
The only thing I'd say about that.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Is, I guess there's a few things. Fields is an
incredible athlete. I'm sure they're sitting there looking at him
on the bench thinking, you know, is he gonna be
able to run the offense and operation the same way
Russell Wilson can? Maybe not, but we still feel like
he's one of our best athletes. Do we have a
package for him? Do we put him on special teams?
Allow him to get in there and do something like
(12:27):
there's probably all these thoughts of how you get justin
fields on the field but still allow yourself to feel
like you're running an offense that you can win and
win football games with.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
So there's that element of it. There's also the element
of he didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Say Russell Wilson, Like if a special teams coach said, like, hey,
even Russe will be out the thrown, he didn't say Russell.
And these two are supposed to be in a quarterback competition,
and he did use justin fields as an example of that.
So is there a chance that they're trying to hide
what is a secret with a new kickoff rule, you know,
a way of getting him the ball an opportunity to
(13:00):
do something dynamic because he is capable of that. So
maybe they did let the cat out of the bag
a little bit, and maybe it's not necessarily misidentifying like
what he is or is capable of doing.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
I mean, he's a ball handler, right, and he's fast.
You could do some reverses, you can do some some
just throw it back across the Motor City miracle type
stuff action exactly. There are a few things that you
can do. But let's be clear here, what you can't
do is get him hurt on a kickoff.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Let that happen.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Let somebody like, uh, a grown ass goon that that's
on that kickoff team. See Justin Fields back there, and
he looking like a nice fresh piece of meat. And
he goes and gets him and and takes half of
his leg off of him and heads back to the sideline.
And they got to come scoop Justin Fields off the ground.
He's on his rookie contract, so you can in a
(13:52):
way be like, ah, well, you know, we can justify
we were trying to get him on the field. We
were trying to do some things, get some reps on him,
you know, create a different look. Okay, and then something
happens with Russ. Rust starts playing poor ruts, Russ goes
down with an injury.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What are you doing then?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
And then you know what, the Pittsburgh Faithful We're going
to say, you had Justin Fields returning kickoffs. We lost
our backup quarterback, which I wasn't even fully sold on
our starting quarterback to begin with, And you're gonna let
him allow him to go out there and get hurt
on special teams?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Do you really want to take that change?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Have you guys ever told a coach no, He says, hey, listen,
I want you to go do this, like, you know,
play this or go be five.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I've never said no because I'm a team player, but
I'm I.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Don't I don't think i've said no.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But I also wasn't asked to, you know, play special teams,
which I mean not since like early years in high school,
you know, was I asked to do special teams?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
So I guess the coast.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Was when you did special teams? Did you run down
on kickoff? And were you a zap wetch breaker? That
was no, Probably a safety dude, like if they get
out of the first gate, you gotta be able to
run him down and stop him. Like you can put
dudes out there that you don't want to get hurt
out there as like safety valves, like I'm gonna put
the fastest.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Guy out here.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
If he breaks through our defense, you got to run
him down. Like that makes sense. But if you're putting
someone like justin Fields who you don't really know yet
what he's going to represent to your team, r I
feel like that might be a poor to suit me.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Now, this literally could have been something that was kind
of put out there, and then it could have just
been coach talk in the sense of, you know, Danny
Smith is sitting there and say, hey.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Man, you know that's how you're gonna make this. This
is all gonna make the team. This is how you're
gonna make it in the league.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
You gotta play special teams or you keep like you know,
anyone could play, and even justin fields.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
It could have been sitting right in front of him, right.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Does that get no more value?
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Q if he does that because he's not playing and
he's like basically at the end of his contract, he's
got one year to prove it if he's not getting
out there on the field because Russ is playing well,
Does this give him any added value on the market
if they don't bring them back.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
No, because I think it lends itself to say, all right,
is he gonna make a position transition, which which.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I don't you know, I think he's a real prior
type stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Sure it's Treel pryor or whoever youre going to throw
in the conversation Malie Cunningham.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Just get he's a wide receiver in Baltimore now right, Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Which she was again, well, he's doing both a little different, right,
I mean, Justin Fields was prolific at times in his
college career and has displayed the ability to play at
the NFL level from the pocket. So I don't even
want to compare the two because to me, they're not
really a comparable.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
How you Lash, you can compare him the slash and
Pittsburgh did a lot with slash. Is this slash two
point oh? Is this Cordelle Stoart two point oh? In
Pittsburgh They're going to put him at receiver, putting Matt
tail back? Like I mean, is this what if there's
a team that would do it, it would probably be Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It's disrespectful. Man, Tang played good football, all right.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
You as a starter.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
And now they talking about we having a debate on
Fox Sports Radio right at five seventeen, eight seventeen somewhere
in the world. We're talking about if a former starting
quarterback is going to now be the guy, yeah that
turns kickoffs and punts, you know, for the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
It's unfortunate. Well listen now, I'll tell you what is fortunate.
It's two pros and a cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio. And coming up next from these Tirek
dot com studios. It's the old pe Petros Papaekis and listen.
We don't want to do this, but there is some
quote unquote breaking news that's out there that we've got
to get Petros's reaction to. That'll be yours next here
(17:42):
on FSR.
Speaker 8 (17:44):

Speaker 7 (18:04):
All happening in only one place. This League Uncut, the
new NBA podcast with me Chris.
Speaker 2 (18:11):

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio coming up here in about twenty minutes from
now from the Tyrak dot Com Studios, we are going
to have the BQ news, but right now it is
a Wednesday tradition. He's the old p on Twitter. He
is 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 and
(18:51):
Petros good morning, Yeah, big breaking news. Pee the number
fifty four prospect in the draft on some draft boards.
Let's go to stay.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:01):
I set my alarm for five am to do this,
and I wake up and I check the headlines and
that's the number one headline that Bronnie James is staying
in the draft. Yes, and Rich Paul told ESPN exclusively
like two hours before the deadline. Hours before the deadline,
(19:24):
every was like, you know, a guy being executed and
waiting for the pardon from the governor, and you're sitting
in the electric chair and then finally the call comes
in and right is the switch is being pulled. Don't
do it, don't do it. He's gonna stay, you know,
let's work it out. He's gonna stay in the draft.
So uh rat, I'm you know, it's interesting. I hate
(19:46):
coming on and doing a Bronnie James thing every single
time we do this.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
But it is interesting that.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
And we talked to Bill Plashki about this, the La
Times columnist who wins all those awards every year is
the best sports writer in the country. And I think
Bill had it right. He just said, the whole thing's
a fade to complete Lebron's coming back to the Lakers.
He's running that franchise. They're too weak to do anything
else and too scared to do anything else, apparently, and
(20:19):
they're gonna end up bringing Brownny there one way or another,
and however it works out the way they want it.
For clutch sports, they're going to have it their way,
like Burger king and all of this other stuff. We're doing,
all of these gymnastics, this BS headline that we all
have to pay attention to today when there's other stuff
going on.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
What else is going on?
Speaker 9 (20:40):
I'm not sure, but there's got to be something else
than this, But all of this is just, I don't know,
mutual masturbation gymnastics. Dang, really, I mean that's what it
seems like. I mean, all of this, we're just going
through the motions. We should be talking about the Mavericks
or whether the Celtics or whatever. But instead we're talking
(21:03):
about the worst prospect in one of the worst drafts
in NBA history. I mean, isn't that what we've been
doing for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. And
the reason we're doing it is because he's somebody's son.
And that's fine, but it's not because he's somebody's son.
The reason we're doing it is because he's somebody's son.
And the dad, who is extremely powerful, has been nothing
(21:25):
but delusional and obnoxious regarding this whole situation. I don't
James for it, no, how can you. We've only heard
it Burdon speak once, you know. I mean, there's but
whatever's going on around him is pretty I guess, confounding
if you're annoyed by the way the modern sports media works.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And I don't even know.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
What that means. I don't even know what the modern
sports media is. But just saying those three words feels bad.
It's not good, right. I Mean, when Steven A. Smith
is the head of the snake, we're probably in trouble
as far as the modern sports media goes.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
And that's just it's sad.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
It's just sad that this is us in the spring
and I can't wait for the summer.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Petros, what about it?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
He thought?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
I mean, he's still really young. I mean, it could
be a late bloomer.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Does he continue to grow, continues to develop, maybe into
more of the type of player that you know three
four years down the road that we look at and say, no,
look they got it right, Like he wasn't quite there then,
but there was a lot of upside. There's the gene
there or lineage. I mean, is there any thought in
the back of your mind for that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I don't know. I mean, I just I know it
doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I mean, well, so let me push back because I
don't agree with that. There's plenty of times we see
guys who've played the NFL and people will look at Suns,
look at their lineage and say, I'm willing to take
a chance on him, even though he's not a finished
product now, and I think he can develop through his
time in college, et cetera.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Yeah, we're not talking about Ironhead Hayward's kid here, Cam Hayward.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
By I mean, if you guys haven't watched.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Craig Ironhead Hayward who's passed away, if you have not
watched his video. If you've not watched that guy's highlight
tape running the ball at like two ninety at pitt
And and mostly for the Saints, it's pretty sweet. No,
I understand what you're saying, Brady, I don't. I adhere
to people I know quite well. And I know a
(23:32):
guy who is quite involved with the draft and quite
involved with developing prospects and working people out for the draft,
and was at this combine because it's such a bad
draft that he had to go to this combine and
sell his guys more than they normally do. And the
(23:52):
general consensus from all of those people we talked to
on and off the air is not an NBA prospect.
They're not saying not an NBA prospect, but it just
and this is and football I think is a little
different because you can play with aggression and violence and
emotion and serve a purpose and you could be super
(24:16):
limited in one way and still really serve a purpose
in another. I don't really think that's the case in
modern basketball, at least not to that extreme. So that
would be my argument there. But I don't know enough.
Like I'm not a basketball like, I'm not a basketball
draft expert. All I know is that this is BS,
and I mean it's clearly BS because and that's what
(24:39):
bothers me. But what bothers me about modern day sports
is we're presented with a table of crap and then
we sit there and sift through it for like months
to try to see if there's like a peanut in there,
and it's not worth it, you know, it's it's not
worth our time and yet we've spent seven minutes on
it over.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yeah, I feel like because you, I feel like this
is more comparable to the Griffies than it is to
the Haywards.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
That was an odd poll from you, Petros. Why the Haywards.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, I'm kind of a guy who played football.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Yeah, dad played for That was the first one you
came to though, Like I like, Craig, I don't.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Know you would wait to get to that. I'm just saying.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
I mean, I feel like Petros, you you gotta give
credit where credit is due. I mean, Bronnie James has
put himself in a position to be like Ken Griffy
Junior to his dad kN kN Griffy the Senior and
be in the same league, and you know there may
be a story where you know, you know, lebron scores
(25:44):
you know, twenty points in the game, and then Bronni
comes back and scores twenty one or twenty three in
the same game on the same team. Because he's probably
getting drafted by the Lakers. That's they probably confirmed that art. Yeah,
I mean, how to me? I think that that's how
you got to look at it, right, I mean, and
they called him Junior, they called him the kid. Don't
you think that one of these nicknames will find itself
(26:05):
landing on you can't even get through Don't you think
that one of these can't even get through it.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I'm just trying to state I'm stating the positive in.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
The I feel you No, No, I mean the positive
there is that.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
The kid doesn't fall on Brownie James the kid like.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Isn't isn't the NEPO Baby's probably?
Speaker 9 (26:27):
But isn't Ken Griffy one of the greatest baseball players
and prospects of all time?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yea? And it isn't that what they said about bron.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Isn't his swing like the greatest swing in the history
of baseball?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Shot?
Speaker 9 (26:43):
I saw Ken Griffy Junior a few times when his
son was playing receiver for Arizona. And by the way,
we did not like, even though Ken Griffy is one
of the great he's a Hall.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Of Famer, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Even though he's a Hall of Famer, we didn't do
the whole open about his kid, who was the seventh
receiver on the Arizona team that was five hundred. You
know what I'm saying, Like, isn't that comparable? Like why haven't?
And I thought Kendrick Perkins made a good point the
other day, even though I think those shows are so ridiculous.
Kendrick Perkins said, we didn't do this for Scotty Pippens kid.
(27:17):
And I get it that Scottie Pippens not Lebron, but
it's just odd that we've gone this far for this
one guy and we don't go we don't even go
ten yards for any of these other guys kids. But
I do remember seeing Ken Griffy a lot on the
road and stuff when I was covering that team, or
did a couple games or three or four when his
son was playing, and we'd see him at restaurants and
(27:40):
stuff after the games, and I was like, dude, that
guy is fat and small and he's one of the
great baseball players of all time. Like you know, you
see Shoe Aotani or Freddie Freeman or like Aaron.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Judge, are like, damn, you know, that's a big guy.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
But every once in a while you see these other
baseball guys like stand nex to Mookie Betts, and you're like,
you know, yeah, I can see why all the dads
in my neighborhood think that their one loser kid is
going to be the next big time baseball player, because
you can be like just sort of a normal looking
guy and be a great baseball star. And that really
is not the case in the NBA really, or or football.
(28:19):
You got to kind of pass the eyeball test just
walking in the door. But yeah, I remember Griffy's kid,
and we didn't freak out about him in the open.
By the way, I should never ever met a cat.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Like an old man, so to feel to get off
the front lawn.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, Ken Griffy Senior, not a Hall of Famer, but
still a great career. The drunk one was he?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
The drunker was a Barry Bonds's dad.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
How would you describe Patrick Mahomes dad?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Petros that's what they think of it.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Take the keys.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
Well, it a that's like the old Billy Joel joke
right back when Billy Joel was like driving into people, know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And it's an it's.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Well, Billy Joel is actually very humorous. But uh but
Billy Joel, for a time, I had a real problem
drinking and driving and was just crashing almost into every house.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, it was rough, it was rough.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
And uh you know uh and uh I remember somebody
was like, Billy's great, don't give him the keys, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
And that's kind of the city.
Speaker 9 (29:26):
That's that seems like the same situation with Mahomes's dad.
By the way, well lead, well, come on, it so
flat hunt. Uh my my, uh.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
We used to have an uncle.
Speaker 9 (29:38):
He died of alcoholism with my son bowl watch on
and buried in it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
By the time, uh.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
He got buried with your son bul watch on.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
You didn't have any other watch. But I had an
uncle who it was a bad alcoholic.
Speaker 9 (29:52):
His name was Alex Aleko uh in Greek, uncle Aleco,
and he used to watch the parking lot, uh at
the rest.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That my dad owned when I was a muscle kind
of yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
He was a big, red faced, very lanky, drunk face
and oh yeah, with like with a sweet black jet
black mummy.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
So he didn't have to red ass. He had to
red face.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I never saw his ass LeVar.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Oh oh, okay, I'm sorry, it would have been weird.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
No.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
No, So my dad used to uh, he used to
watch a parking lot. And when I was working at
the restaurant, my dad would get a water a glass
of water, a cup that we used for water, and
pour a cooking brandy Christian Brothers almost full no ice
into a water glass and he'd say.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Bring your uncle his medicine and I would run it.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
I would run across the street with the brandy twice
or three times a night for Alu. And then you know,
around ten, you know, and I was like nine, eight, ten,
And then around uh, you know, ten thirty eleven o'clock
at night, when things would start winding down, my dad
would say, tell Alex to drive you home, and I'd
(31:07):
be like, so he would drive us home and like
some gigantic canoe like.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You know, Pontiac, you know, from the seventies.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
And I and I remember, you know, being a little
kid and seeing stuff on the air about drunk driving
and all these things, and and all these commercials and
disclaimers and stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I remember asking my mom and saying.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
You know, I'm pretty sure you know Uncle Alex is drunk,
you know when he's driving us around.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
And my mom said, yes, but he's very careful.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
A different time. Fee By the way, didn't you say
I've heard you say on the air that your mom's
a big fan of gin?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Right we made wheat?
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Well, you know, to be honest, my mom is kind
of a space cadet and she's she's fine.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
She's a lovely lady, and she's from our.
Speaker 9 (32:01):
But I don't know what it was, but I was
doing a it's like some local TV interview when I
was playing at USC about Mother's Day, you know, around
spring football. So they came out to interview some of
the guys on the team about their mom. And I
don't know why I said it, but they're like, you know,
does your mom come to the games? And I said, well,
maybe if you put a bottle of gin on the
fifty yard line. And I mean, there was no reason
(32:25):
to say that it was defamatory and not even accurate,
although she isn't she was a gin drinker, you know,
but not not excessively.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
And so then you know, just from then on, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
I'd just be like, she's drunk, and we put my
dad on the radio and I'd be like, you know, dad,
is she all right? No?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I can't you know, she I can't get her out
of bed. She's drunk again, you know.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Like so.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
It just kind of became a developing joke. But she's
not really.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
A drunk breast cancer.
