Speaker 4 (00:55):
I was so happy, Penn say b Wisconsin because I
want to see this top four, top five matchup.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I want it, and we're getting this. I don't think
people understand how big of a game this is. I mean,
it's like you've got presidential candidates coming to it. Yeah,
it's going to be wild.
Speaker 3 (01:16):

(01:42):
place going to be like.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
During It's going to be out of control. You're not
going to be able to hear yourself. Think, bro, you're
not going to be there, right you.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Big? Yeah? Like I said, everyone's there, yeah us game day.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Everyone Yeah yeah yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Still end up going. I mean it's anything that covers
college football will be there. Do you have two presidential
candidates so I believe are going to be there, at
least I've heard rumor rumors that they are.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I know one is going to be there. Why would
the other one be there? I'm not nuts. Why would
that happen?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What do you mean? Which one did you hear?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I mean Trump is already there, He's already He's already
he's been campaigning.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So that's what I'm saying. I think both are campaigning
and both are you know, could potentially be there. That's why.
That's at least what I've heard. So there's a part
of me that hates the fact that we've got to
mix politics with one football. But I understand, I know
the intent of what they're trying to do, but it's like,
let's make this about the game, not who's at the game.
(02:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, I'm sure one side decided to do it once
they heard the other side was doing it, which makes
it a little bit weird to me.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well, and to your point, I know for a fact
that the candidate you mentioned going to be there. I
hadn't heard if it was confirmed that the vice president's going.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
To be there.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So we'll see. All right, what are you heading out
there bar.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Friday? I'll be I'll leave Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And when you're getting that LeVar Island in our hand, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Know you want me. I was staying in Harrisburg because
it's a little cheaper. You know, there's nothing really available
at a decent price in State College this weekend. So
but if you want me to come in, I'll come in.
I'll come in.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I think the people want you to come in.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I'm coming in on Saturday. I'm tailgate and make sure
you come to the Stick City tailgate right there. I
Metler Park Metler Field where the Spikes play. That's out
to the Spikes. Yeah we've been there. Come check your boy.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Now we do have elsewhere in the world of football.
Because these are two of the top teams in college football,
the top team in the NFL. It's just not all
that fancy, but the Kansas City Chiefs just to continue
to get it done. Seven to zero. Not quite sure
if Patrick Mahomes has played a great game yet, but
(04:11):
they take care of the Raiders yesterday, and somehow, some way,
the Chiefs just keep on rolling. Man, just keep hearing around.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It's scary to think that we haven't seen the best
of Mahomes this year, and yet this is the result.
And I also think it underscores how good the defense
has been. I mean, not that the Raiders are an
offensive firepower, but still it's the NFL, and the defense
stepped up, played well. They have all here.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Really And the Detroit Lions. You know, it's great about Detroit.
They don't play with their food like there's no there's
no ohe man, Well you listen this. We're gonna mail
it in this week because you know, Tennessee stinks, like,
oh no, we're just gonna bludge in them, and we're
gonna bludge in the Cowboys and anybody else that we play.
(04:56):
Doesn't matter who it is. They're just destroying teams. And
I don't know how the hell they lost to Tampa
Bay earlier in the year, but it's almost like that
was the wake up call for them to realize, No,
you guys are great. You're the best team in the NFC.
I don't know that it's even that close, and it
does feel like right now those two teams are by
far and away the best teams in the league, the
(05:16):
Lions and the Kansas City Chiefs. Far and away. I
won't say far and away for the Lions, far and
away the best. I don't think there's anybody close in
the NFC. I don't know, man, I don't. I don't
want to say far and away. They've had their moments
and they have consistently competed at a high level, but
far and away the best.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, I'm not sure Tennessee playing with their backup quarterback
is going to be the game that you make that proclamation. Look,
they're dominant, they they've played well so far, but you know,
if you start to throw in a healthy San Francisco
forty nine ers Philly. The way they look yesterday started
to throwing some of those other talented rosters. They could
be challenged by them. I mean in Minnesota that was
a tight end.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But I'll say just in just in their own vision,
like just within the North, I wouldn't say that it's
just far and away. They're better. I think they're going
to have They really are going to have to fight
to stay at a at a high level where they're at.
I just feel like the NFC, the NFC is a
week to week division. It's a week to week division
(06:20):
now with the Chiefs. The only reason why I will
agree and say far and away with the Chiefs is
because they've this is an established way of how they're
winning this year with the idea that they are the returning,
you know, super Bowl champs. So I'll say far and away,
I guess, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I really don't even want to say far and away
for the Chiefs either, to be honest, Like, I'll just
say that they have found a way to win and
win ugly. While we've gotten used to seeing them win
in such an emphatic fashion in the history of them
winning so that to me, I heard you say scary.
(07:03):
It's scary to think that they're they're winning and Patrick
Mahomes hasn't played his best football. That's what's scary is
that they actually haven't played well enough where you could
actually say they're far and away just way better than
everyone else. That makes it scarier that they haven't been
that they have been winning ugly, that they have had
(07:24):
the fight to win these games. Because if they do
put it together and Patrick Mahomes starts to play his
best football and this team starts to play their best football,
that's where it's going to. Just like, where where do
we go from there? Like is it a foregone conclusion
that everybody else is just playing for runner up? But
in the NFC, I just feel like in NFC, that
(07:45):
is the division that is wide open. I have no
idea who is going to at the end emerge from
the NFC. I really don't like Baltimore took it on
the chin in the AFC yesterday, but I thought they
were the hottest team. Buffalo is quietly being some dogs
(08:07):
out here. That's the one right there. Buffalo is quietly
just being dogs out the one?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Or is that like a Seattle. What they've been all yet, Well,
it's like every other week you don't know who the
hell they are.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
They're they're running away with the division, the AFC East
is and it's almost like now they're playing for I mean,
if Kansas City would just do them a favor and
lose a game, maybe they could get a bye. But
it just it feels like Josh Allen's playing some of
the best football of his career. Amari Cooper just got there,
so they'll slowly work him into the offense and all that.
I just I look at Buffalo and I go, that
(08:42):
feels like, if you're gonna pick a next best team.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'd be nervous. If I'm in the AFC, I'd be
nervous about the Buffalo Bills, I'd be nervous about them.
That's the team that that you look at as like,
all right, they're not the Chiefs, They're not the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are continuing to be the Chiefs. The chief
start the Chiefs, the Chief Chief Chief Chiefs. Buffalo is
like sitting right there and it's like, I don't know, man,
(09:08):
where you thought. I thought that they had hit their ceiling.
I thought that this was a team that might start
to to you see that that window close and maybe
they're not as dominant or going in the right direction
that they've been going in. They might be better this
year than what they have been during the course of
time of them making their statements to be the better
(09:31):
team and or best team in the AFC. This might
be that year, Like that's how they're playing about time. Man,
it might be it might be their year.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah, I just I don't know, man, I think the
NFC looking at it right now, I'll take my chances
with Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Detroit or the field, I'll take the Lions in the NFC.
You guys can wow, Okay, yeah, take everybody else.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I'll take the Lions. I'm telling they might not even
get out of the North. Somebody else might be win
the North, let alone them coming out of the NFC,
which I do have them coming out of the NFC.
I'm just saying I don't think they're far and away
the most dominant team in the division there. I believe
(10:19):
that they are the top team in the division, and
I think that it's going to rear its ugly head
on them not having one of their premier players. I
just don't know when.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Hey, but how about Malik Willis, man the guy gets
was he they acquired him from Tennessee and he was
just sort of kind of cast off as well. Listen,
you know there's not room for him here. We're gonna
go Will Levis and Mason Rudolph and all that. He
gets to Green Bay like right before the.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Season, better than Will Levis the season, and he doesn't
want to hear that.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
No, and he has to step in for Jordan Love,
who was dealing with the groin issue yesterday that Matt
Lafleur said is highly concerning, and you know it helps
lead him to victory again. So Malik Willis finds his
spot in Green Bay and the Packers are sitting at
six and two, so they're they're right behind the Detroit
Lions as well too. But now we have to wait
to see what's going on with Jordan Love in the
(11:15):
Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But again, you're you're reassured that they've got a comparable
backup thing come and help you win football games. I
mean kind of almost every team. I mean, think about
Jameis Winston came in got to win. You look at
Anthony Richardson took himself out of a game and just tired,
Like this is a league that's now been built to
the point where between injuries to quarterbacks maybe fatigue in
(11:38):
the case of Anthony Richardson, you better have a backup
that you feel good about being able to come in
and help you win a football game or a series
of football games. Otherwise you're not gonna be able to
take intend It's just it's seldom guys were able to
make it through the entirety of a season.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Okay, where does that land with you, guys? Anthony Richardson
saying afterwards he took himself out of the game because
he was tired.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I've never heard that, never heard quarterback ever.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I've never heard it from I mean, you can hear
it from players where they tap out because they need
a blow and stuff like that. But you know, I
don't know, I don't know how to react that, to
be honest, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Because I mean, he's different though too in the manner
they use him. But I think Lamar's never never has
to come out of a game, and he's run as
much as anyone, and in today's game, he's always continued
to be in there.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I like Kyler Murray, like.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Cayler Murray, m taping himself out, so he.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Is clearly a drag racing car. Bro. That's a quartermouth,
quartermouth car running quarterback. Bro. He ain't tapping out. Just
slow up, slow up to play, Like, use your play clock.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I've never seen that before in my life.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, used the play clap.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I mean, I just so.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Here was Anthony Richardson discussing it afterwards.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
It's all right, that was a lot of runner right
there that I did, and I don't think I was
gonna be able to go that next place. So I just, uh,
you know, I just told saying, you need a break
right there.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I do appreciate the honesty, you know, you get to like,
you know, come up with something like you know.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Just these new age, these new age different different Bro.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
There's like unwritten rules that they don't know about or
they don't live by anymore. And it's it's a little
disappointing because there are certain things you just you never
did or you wouldn't do, and maybe in some cases
it's it's it's good. I'm not sure I can think
of any but I look at it and just go,
uh yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I mean, you know, he could listally, he could have
be esked it. You know, he could have done something
to lie about it, but he was. He was a
stand up guy and he told the truth. And now
I just wonder how his teammates feel about that, you know,
if they're looking at him giving him the side eye
Anthony Richardson because of that, So that that was fun.
He truly is the wild card. I think you might
have made this comp I think maybe earlier this season.
(14:07):
But when we had the discussion about Anthony Richardson, and
it was like, man, when Josh Allen first got into
the league, you didn't know if you were going to
get a pick six going ninety the other way or
a ninety yard touchdown in his favor.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
His still set Richardson his skill set most was most
similar recently least to Josh Allen and the concerns about accuracy,
the concerns about he's got a howitzer for an arm.
He's an incredible athlete, but there are some accuracy issues
and some other things that you're concerned by. And I
think the difference is Josh Allen was able to obviously
(14:43):
over time. Over the first three years he us in
the NFL clean up some things fundamentally become a more
accurate passer. Now, I don't know that he's done a
better job of protecting himself. He's been less banged up
or beaten up than Anthony Richardson has. So there's a
there's a learning curve to this. But again, if josh
(15:04):
All can do it, so can Athony Richardson. It's just
a matter of him being able to make those adjustments
in game, which is tough to do when you're accustomed to,
you know, reacting, taking off, running, trying to take a
dude on and you know, bulldoze through them. That just
that doesn't work in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
It's Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you.
So coming up next here from the Tirak dot Com studios.
Everybody can now relax. They can now relax. We've gotten
over the most difficult part. We'll tell you who it
involves with one NFL quarterback that's yours.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Here on FSR, 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 on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Here on Fox
Sports Radio, we are going to have another edition of
Lee's Leftovers coming up in a little over fifteen minutes
from now here on FSR. By the way, congratulations to us.
We hit our parlay party again. Lions over the Titans,
(16:13):
Eagles over the Bengals, Broncos over the Panthers plus one
eighty five? How about that? Did it again?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
We're doing is picking winners here?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
What was the payout for that one?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Plus one eighty five?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Not bad?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Thanks Var? Actually juice that up though.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
All right?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
So to a tongue of by Lowe made his return
to the Dolphins starting line up yesterday. Let's take a
listen how.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He felt myself?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Like I said, I've been preparing for five weeks as
if I were to play while I was on IR
So you know, that's that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So it felt normal coming.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Out there, felt normal for the Dolphins because they lost
again too, So there's that that.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The offense looked remarkably better.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
It's it's night and day difference between what they had
looked like and somehow, some way, Arizona just wins another
close game and comes down and and kicks a field
goal and wins it there. But yeah, they look considerably
different with Tua quarterback then without him.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It's gonna be frustrating though, because there's an element of
like what the season could have been, how he just
stayed healthy.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I think that's the biggest thing here is is it's
not about questioning if they're legit with him in there.
We know he's legitimate in terms of what his contributions
are as the quarterback of this team. I don't think
that's up for debate. It's the question you just asked, like, Okay,
where is this team if Toa is healthy? Where is
(17:50):
this team go if Tua stays healthy? But that's going
to continuously be the constant question that's asked. Is he
going to stay healthy? Can he stay healthy? When is
the next time he's going to get hurt? When is
the next time he's going to get a concussion. It's
interesting because he can mess around and get an injury
(18:11):
that that holds him out or puts them in a
bad situation and it's not even a concussion, you know
what I mean. But the reality of it is is
that the one thing that everybody is going to be
focused in on is if he's going to get a concussion,
and there's no way around that. And I think that
that's going to constantly be the conversation that dominates what
(18:35):
the coverage is and how you look at the Miami Dolphins.
They're one concussion away from being a bad team, period,
is it?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
And for anybody out there that was arguing against giving
him the contract, they should probably double that salary based
on how they look without him. Do they play, by
the way, do they play fins to the left, fence
to the right even when they lose? Is that after
just touchdown after touchdowns? Okay, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
They still got that going again for Lee?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, a little little Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
There are we doing? Okay this morning?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
I'm doing fantastic. Always have Margaritaville ready to rock? Okay, yeah, wait,
hold on.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Maybe I do. All right.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
So that being said, we have another team from the
AFC that'll be taking center stage later on tonight. That'll
be the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are hosting the New
York Giants, and it's actually this weekend turned into be
a pretty important weekend for Pittsburgh because the Bengals lost,
(19:40):
the Browns won, but their season's already over, soah, and
then the Ravens lost the Browns, and so Pittsburgh can
move to six and two if they just do what
they're projected to do their six point favorites tonight against
the Giants, if they just take care of business on
Monday Night Football, All of a sudden, Pittsburgh sitting at
six and two, floating around that two seed in the
(20:03):
AFC as maybe the next team up behind Kansas City
to potentially make a deep run in the postseason. Russell
Wilson out there slinging it well, I was just gonna say,
let's say Russell goes out there and balls out. I mean,
it kind of solidifies the decision, and the move by
Mike Tomlin solidifies maybe their spot too as far as
(20:23):
being the top the AFC North or the AFC in general,
is a playoff team. If they don't, though, how would
this how would have lost tonight change the perception for
you guys of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's a.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It's a it's a strong question for the simple fact
that I'm not certain. Because here's the thing. The Giants
defense is pretty good defense, so there's a strong possibility
that they could give Pittsburgh some real, real issues out there.
It's just a matter of what they can do offensively
(20:58):
against the Steelers hunting defense. I almost feel as though
we will still see a positive contribution from Russell Wilson,
but they have to win in order for it to
seemingly be a success, Meaning the defense can't let the
(21:19):
Steelers down this evening either. So I think it's kind
of a loaded question because if they were to lose,
I think that I think it will certainly play a
role in how we view view Russ's performance. If he's
performed well, gave them the opportunity to win, I think
(21:39):
you stayed, of course, But if for some reason he
plays poorly, which could very well be the case, he
could end up playing poorly against the type of pressure
that the Giants are able to bring on quarterbacks. I
think that it opens up the door for conversations as
to what what do you do next? This is seemingly
(22:04):
after one game, watching Russ get his legs under him
and get up to the speed of the game and
his his first appearance that this is a more prolific
offense with him out there. But with that being said,
if there is a team that shows that they can
create the type of pressure that forces Russell Wilson to
(22:25):
move around and have to improvise and read and throw
while using es capability from from the past, rush can
he do it? And I would say I'm not confident
that he can. So we're going to have to see
how he handles if he gets because I think he
will get pressure tonight. We're going to have to see
(22:46):
can he still be the type of quarterback that showed
some some real signs of you know, positive production, you
know his first game in you know.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
The Giants or the other team that Russ talked to.
I think he took a visit with them after his
departure from Dennis Right, so some dump truck nuts I
think saw enough of Russell Wilson to be like, yeah,
it would be an upgrade over Daniel Jones, and they
brought him in and he ended up going to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Anyways, kind of a kind of a showcase to the
Giants front office and ownership since they kind of passed
on him.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, I decided to stick.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I got something to prove maybe.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I mean, although with the way this weekend is gone,
I could see the Giants winning this game out right,
like it's been a it's just a weird weekend in
the what was weird about it?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
What outcome were you?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh, that wasn't supposed to happen.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
The Jets losing to New England, Like those are divisional games,
Like I don't ever look at a divisional game the
NFL and find myself overly shocked by outcomes. I mean,
I mean, like Denver beat the hell out of Carolina. Okay,
we've seen that Houston ends up being the better team
versus Indiana. Okay, tight game though divisional game.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I mean there's a if you look at Cleveland, like
it really was a miracle for the way they were
able to come back in that game. I'll given all
the circumstances, but it's a divisional game that you know
they're gonna play each other.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Tight.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I just I don't know. I looked at the New
England game and with the Jets and thought, yeah, I
could I could easily happen. I mean, you're talking about
two bad football teams.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
What was the final line?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
What did it close? At New England and the Jets?
Were the Jets a seven point favorite?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Was it that high?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
I'm almost positive the Jets were a seven point favorite
unless I'm unless I'm crossing the streams and thinking of
another game. Yeah, they were a seven point favorite going
into that game. How the hell are the Jets a
seven point favorite against anybody?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I seriously, like, who would you care?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Vegas man? As many times we compliment Vegas, like, for example,
I think this week they had the spread on the
UCF BYU game kind of tight. I think actually UCF
where they get they were like giving a point a
half or something like that. Then I flicked it might
have flipped the one point where b YU was only
favored by a point or two. Boy, you beat the dog.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Out of them.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And I kept looking at it thinking, this is one
of those funky lines that scares people away from betting
it because they're not sure what Vegas is signaling. But
sometimes they just get them. They get them wrong, They
flat out get them wrong.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
I wonder if I wonder New York Football fans are like,
all right, season's over, let's just focus on the Yankee
game tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
If that's like, I'm certain, I'm sure a lot more
people will be paid to the World Series than they
will be Monday Night football.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You think, don't we have a lot of different New
York teams? I mean, the Islanders are playing the night,
we got the Yankees, We got the Giants there.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, I don't know if the Knicks are playing. Does
the NBA S has it started yet?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yes? Started? You don't remember Lebron and brought right historic moment. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It was the exact same thing as Ken Griffy Junior
and Senior playing.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
The Calves Knicks tonight as well too.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Ag.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Yeah, so there's a lot going on there in New York.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Tells me that traffic will be quite as bad in
New York as it was in LA this week. Yeah
it was.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
It was pretty brutal in LA.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
And uh what was there?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
What were you saying in the USC game they had
was it thirty percent capacity at kickoff or something like that.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yeah, it was pretty brutal.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I mean surprised I got up to that much.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Dang, A lot of fans stressed the seats.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Dang, it'd be like really and then they.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Took care of business. Though you know that could have
been a could have been a bad one if Rutgers
end up taking care of business.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, so so us he's back. We got the World
Series later on the night, we got Steelers Giants. So
a fun night of sports for everybody, uh to be
able to partake in. U And if you were one
of those you know, gambling fiends out there, bet wisely
all right, because you know that's six point spread seems
a little steep. I think that's the largest spread a
(27:05):
Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin Steelers have had in at least
a couple of years, like they have not had. They
have not been favored by this much in a long time,
if I have that correctly here. So maybe Russell Wilson
will get cooking and we'll be singing his praises. Coming
up tomorrow morning on the show, it is two Pros
and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio,

Speaker 4 (29:06):
The lap? What do we got?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
All right, guys, it's a busy week.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
It's Halloween week, and I have a problem. My my
neighbors are very strong decorators and they're making me look bad.
But they also attract a big crowd, and I'm already
getting tricker treaters.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Is this a problem? I think it is because I
don't already getting tricker treaters. People are knocking the door
asking for candy.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
They're like looking at me, looking for candy, and I
don't have any candy.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Those are called bums, Lee, it's not treat like. There's
not people walking up to your door dressed up saying
trigger treat.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Aren't they They have their buckets, The kids have their
buckets to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Or that you were that blasted on the weekend, that
you had a dream or you were like, were blacked
out drunk. Thing this happened, that was last year.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
You just woke out, all right?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Do you guys have a big decorators on your block?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
You know what the real problem is is that those
are still your neighbors.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
That's a real problem. Like they Wow, it's a great
that's a great observation, and not because they lived there.
I knew a scarecrow, did that one sink in?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
I knew a scarecrow, But it's actually a guy passed
out in a chair and it looks like it looks
like me.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Can I go ahead and throw in something for these leftovers?
If you guys have a chance to see the Dwayne
Wade statue?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yeah, Jesus, what was that awesome?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
It was? He looked like awesome. I mean everything was awesome.
Besides his face that doesn't look anything like him.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a tad bit offensive.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Well, what would you do if you were him in
that instance? And you haven't seen it yet. This is
the first time you see it's in public, everyone's filming.
You would you just kind of smile and be like
that doesn't look like me? Or would you just have
a natural reaction where you're like you look at the
guy design and go, what the hell is that?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I would one hundred percent be like, dude, like this
ain't it?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I'm sorry? And I would not hide my disappointment either,
like I might like just have to walk away.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Why can't they make these bronze statues look like the
actual individual it's supposed to. I don't understand why it's
so difficult. I mean, nothing's worse than the Sean Taylor stats. Actually,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
If you's They took out the statue, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
They took that down. The other one was bad. Didn'
they change the Kobe one?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
They had a typo on it? Yeah, they screwed up
some stuff on that. That was all. They didn't take
it down. I just think that they had a typo
on it. Yeah yeah, Well.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Lee, were you going to get that in your leftovers?
And I did? I did.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
I had it for in case you missed it, and
I had it left over for leftovers.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Oh he's shaking? Was sure where you're going there, so
we had to get that out.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Yeah, shaking his head, he's like, who is that? You
can literally see him saying.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
That it's a very unattractive face.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
For it does I mean, it doesn't look it looks
more like a gargoyle than it does like Dwayne Wade, who's.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
It definitely doesn't look good at all.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So there's that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I can't believe that. Who's that guy? I mean, that's
one hundred percent how I would have responded to.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, I mean like you can't. Yeah, I know they
don't want to reveal the surprise, but you know, can't
at least like you could run that buy in first
and be like, hey you okay with this?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Why could you show him that before you put that together?
Why you say one more time?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Like that's crazy?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I can't believe it? Who's that guy?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
All right? What else we got, late, guys?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Tampa Bay Lightning owner has hooked up his employees with
twenty million dollars in bonuses after selling a majority steak
in the team.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
People who are full time employees of the team get
between fifty and sixty six thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Oh sweet, it's pretty sweet. Didn't Mark Cuban do this
with the Mavericks, like when he when he sold the Mavericks.
I think a bunch of employees got some stuff from
Mark Cuban.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
They got some stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Yeah, at least he could do, you know, hook him
up with a little something.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, okay, the hope, especially since someone's gonna be owning
and running them now, it's just like a parting gift,
you know, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
What good for them?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
What else?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Lee?
Speaker 6 (33:32):
I am officially done saying happy birthday to everybody.
Speaker 3 (33:35):

Speaker 3 (33:55):

That's what I think.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
You need to pick one at some point they.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Might retire it for him.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
I was so happy, Penn say b Wisconsin because I
want to see this top four, top five matchup.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I want it, and we're getting this. I don't think
people understand how big of a game this is. I mean,
it's like you've got presidential candidates coming to it. Yeah,
it's going to be wild.
Speaker 3 (01:16):

Speaker 3 (01:43):
During It's going to be out of control. You're not
going to be able to hear yourself. Think, bro, you're
not going to be there, right you.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Big? Yeah? Like I said, everyone's there, yeah us game day.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Everyone Yeah yeah yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Still end up going. I mean it's anything that covers
college football will be there. Do you have two presidential
candidates so I believe are going to be there, at
least I've heard rumor rumors that they are.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I know one is going to be there. Why would
the other one be there? I'm not nuts. Why would
that happen?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What do you mean? Which one did you hear?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I mean Trump is already there, He's already He's already
he's been campaigning.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So that's what I'm saying. I think both are campaigning
and both are you know, could potentially be there. That's why.
That's at least what I've heard. So there's a part
of me that hates the fact that we've got to
mix politics with one football. But I understand, I know
the intent of what they're trying to do, but it's like,
let's make this about the game, not who's at the game.
(02:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, I'm sure one side decided to do it once
they heard the other side was doing it, which makes
it a little bit weird to me.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well, and to your point, I know for a fact
that the candidate you mentioned going to be there. I
hadn't heard if it was confirmed that the vice president's going.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
To be there.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So we'll see. All right, what are you heading out
there bar.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Friday? I'll be I'll leave Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And when you're getting that LeVar Island in our hand, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Know you want me. I was staying in Harrisburg because
it's a little cheaper. You know, there's nothing really available
at a decent price in State College this weekend. So
but if you want me to come in, I'll come in.
I'll come in.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I think the people want you to come in.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I'm coming in on Saturday. I'm tailgate and make sure
you come to the Stick City tailgate right there. I
Metler Park Metler Field where the Spikes play. That's out
to the Spikes. Yeah we've been there. Come check your boy.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Now we do have elsewhere in the world of football.
Because these are two of the top teams in college football,
the top team in the NFL. It's just not all
that fancy, but the Kansas City Chiefs just to continue
to get it done. Seven to zero. Not quite sure
if Patrick Mahomes has played a great game yet, but
(04:11):
they take care of the Raiders yesterday, and somehow, some way,
the Chiefs just keep on rolling. Man, just keep hearing around.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It's scary to think that we haven't seen the best
of Mahomes this year, and yet this is the result.
And I also think it underscores how good the defense
has been. I mean, not that the Raiders are an
offensive firepower, but still it's the NFL, and the defense
stepped up, played well. They have all here.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Really And the Detroit Lions. You know, it's great about Detroit.
They don't play with their food like there's no there's
no ohe man, Well you listen this. We're gonna mail
it in this week because you know, Tennessee stinks, like,
oh no, we're just gonna bludge in them, and we're
gonna bludge in the Cowboys and anybody else that we play.
(04:56):
Doesn't matter who it is. They're just destroying teams. And
I don't know how the hell they lost to Tampa
Bay earlier in the year, but it's almost like that
was the wake up call for them to realize, No,
you guys are great. You're the best team in the NFC.
I don't know that it's even that close, and it
does feel like right now those two teams are by
far and away the best teams in the league, the
(05:16):
Lions and the Kansas City Chiefs. Far and away. I
won't say far and away for the Lions, far and
away the best. I don't think there's anybody close in
the NFC. I don't know, man, I don't. I don't
want to say far and away. They've had their moments
and they have consistently competed at a high level, but
far and away the best.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, I'm not sure Tennessee playing with their backup quarterback
is going to be the game that you make that proclamation. Look,
they're dominant, they they've played well so far, but you know,
if you start to throw in a healthy San Francisco
forty nine ers Philly. The way they look yesterday started
to throwing some of those other talented rosters. They could
be challenged by them. I mean in Minnesota that was
a tight end.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But I'll say just in just in their own vision,
like just within the North, I wouldn't say that it's
just far and away. They're better. I think they're going
to have They really are going to have to fight
to stay at a at a high level where they're at.
I just feel like the NFC, the NFC is a
week to week division. It's a week to week division
(06:20):
now with the Chiefs. The only reason why I will
agree and say far and away with the Chiefs is
because they've this is an established way of how they're
winning this year with the idea that they are the returning,
you know, super Bowl champs. So I'll say far and away,
I guess, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I really don't even want to say far and away
for the Chiefs either, to be honest, Like, I'll just
say that they have found a way to win and
win ugly. While we've gotten used to seeing them win
in such an emphatic fashion in the history of them
winning so that to me, I heard you say scary.
(07:03):
It's scary to think that they're they're winning and Patrick
Mahomes hasn't played his best football. That's what's scary is
that they actually haven't played well enough where you could
actually say they're far and away just way better than
everyone else. That makes it scarier that they haven't been
that they have been winning ugly, that they have had
(07:24):
the fight to win these games. Because if they do
put it together and Patrick Mahomes starts to play his
best football and this team starts to play their best football,
that's where it's going to. Just like, where where do
we go from there? Like is it a foregone conclusion
that everybody else is just playing for runner up? But
in the NFC, I just feel like in NFC, that
(07:45):
is the division that is wide open. I have no
idea who is going to at the end emerge from
the NFC. I really don't like Baltimore took it on
the chin in the AFC yesterday, but I thought they
were the hottest team. Buffalo is quietly being some dogs
(08:07):
out here. That's the one right there. Buffalo is quietly
just being dogs out the one?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Or is that like a Seattle. What they've been all yet, Well,
it's like every other week you don't know who the
hell they are.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
They're they're running away with the division, the AFC East
is and it's almost like now they're playing for I mean,
if Kansas City would just do them a favor and
lose a game, maybe they could get a bye. But
it just it feels like Josh Allen's playing some of
the best football of his career. Amari Cooper just got there,
so they'll slowly work him into the offense and all that.
I just I look at Buffalo and I go, that
(08:42):
feels like, if you're gonna pick a next best team.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'd be nervous. If I'm in the AFC, I'd be
nervous about the Buffalo Bills, I'd be nervous about them.
That's the team that that you look at as like,
all right, they're not the Chiefs, They're not the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are continuing to be the Chiefs. The chief
start the Chiefs, the Chief Chief Chief Chiefs. Buffalo is
like sitting right there and it's like, I don't know, man,
(09:08):
where you thought. I thought that they had hit their ceiling.
I thought that this was a team that might start
to to you see that that window close and maybe
they're not as dominant or going in the right direction
that they've been going in. They might be better this
year than what they have been during the course of
time of them making their statements to be the better
(09:31):
team and or best team in the AFC. This might
be that year, Like that's how they're playing about time. Man,
it might be it might be their year.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah, I just I don't know, man, I think the
NFC looking at it right now, I'll take my chances
with Detroit.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Detroit or the field, I'll take the Lions in the NFC.
You guys can wow, Okay, yeah, take everybody else.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I'll take the Lions. I'm telling they might not even
get out of the North. Somebody else might be win
the North, let alone them coming out of the NFC,
which I do have them coming out of the NFC.
I'm just saying I don't think they're far and away
the most dominant team in the division there. I believe
(10:19):
that they are the top team in the division, and
I think that it's going to rear its ugly head
on them not having one of their premier players. I
just don't know when.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Hey, but how about Malik Willis, man the guy gets
was he they acquired him from Tennessee and he was
just sort of kind of cast off as well. Listen,
you know there's not room for him here. We're gonna
go Will Levis and Mason Rudolph and all that. He
gets to Green Bay like right before the.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Season, better than Will Levis the season, and he doesn't
want to hear that.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
No, and he has to step in for Jordan Love,
who was dealing with the groin issue yesterday that Matt
Lafleur said is highly concerning, and you know it helps
lead him to victory again. So Malik Willis finds his
spot in Green Bay and the Packers are sitting at
six and two, so they're they're right behind the Detroit
Lions as well too. But now we have to wait
to see what's going on with Jordan Love in the
(11:15):
Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But again, you're you're reassured that they've got a comparable
backup thing come and help you win football games. I
mean kind of almost every team. I mean, think about
Jameis Winston came in got to win. You look at
Anthony Richardson took himself out of a game and just tired,
Like this is a league that's now been built to
the point where between injuries to quarterbacks maybe fatigue in
(11:38):
the case of Anthony Richardson, you better have a backup
that you feel good about being able to come in
and help you win a football game or a series
of football games. Otherwise you're not gonna be able to
take intend It's just it's seldom guys were able to
make it through the entirety of a season.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Okay, where does that land with you, guys? Anthony Richardson
saying afterwards he took himself out of the game because
he was tired.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I've never heard that, never heard quarterback ever.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I've never heard it from I mean, you can hear
it from players where they tap out because they need
a blow and stuff like that. But you know, I
don't know, I don't know how to react that, to
be honest, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Because I mean, he's different though too in the manner
they use him. But I think Lamar's never never has
to come out of a game, and he's run as
much as anyone, and in today's game, he's always continued
to be in there.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I like Kyler Murray, like.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Cayler Murray, m taping himself out, so he.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Is clearly a drag racing car. Bro. That's a quartermouth,
quartermouth car running quarterback. Bro. He ain't tapping out. Just
slow up, slow up to play, Like, use your play clock.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I've never seen that before in my life.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, used the play clap.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I mean, I just so.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Here was Anthony Richardson discussing it afterwards.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
It's all right, that was a lot of runner right
there that I did, and I don't think I was
gonna be able to go that next place. So I just, uh,
you know, I just told saying, you need a break
right there.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
I do appreciate the honesty, you know, you get to like,
you know, come up with something like you know.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Just these new age, these new age different different Bro.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
There's like unwritten rules that they don't know about or
they don't live by anymore. And it's it's a little
disappointing because there are certain things you just you never
did or you wouldn't do, and maybe in some cases
it's it's it's good. I'm not sure I can think
of any but I look at it and just go,
uh yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I mean, you know, he could listally, he could have
be esked it. You know, he could have done something
to lie about it, but he was. He was a
stand up guy and he told the truth. And now
I just wonder how his teammates feel about that, you know,
if they're looking at him giving him the side eye
Anthony Richardson because of that, So that that was fun.
He truly is the wild card. I think you might
have made this comp I think maybe earlier this season.
(14:07):
But when we had the discussion about Anthony Richardson, and
it was like, man, when Josh Allen first got into
the league, you didn't know if you were going to
get a pick six going ninety the other way or
a ninety yard touchdown in his favor.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
His still set Richardson his skill set most was most
similar recently least to Josh Allen and the concerns about accuracy,
the concerns about he's got a howitzer for an arm.
He's an incredible athlete, but there are some accuracy issues
and some other things that you're concerned by. And I
think the difference is Josh Allen was able to obviously
(14:43):
over time. Over the first three years he us in
the NFL clean up some things fundamentally become a more
accurate passer. Now, I don't know that he's done a
better job of protecting himself. He's been less banged up
or beaten up than Anthony Richardson has. So there's a
there's a learning curve to this. But again, if josh
(15:04):
All can do it, so can Athony Richardson. It's just
a matter of him being able to make those adjustments
in game, which is tough to do when you're accustomed to,
you know, reacting, taking off, running, trying to take a
dude on and you know, bulldoze through them. That just
that doesn't work in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
It's Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you.
So coming up next here from the Tirak dot Com studios.
Everybody can now relax. They can now relax. We've gotten
over the most difficult part. We'll tell you who it
involves with one NFL quarterback that's yours.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Here on FSR, 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 on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Here on Fox
Sports Radio, we are going to have another edition of
Lee's Leftovers coming up in a little over fifteen minutes
from now here on FSR. By the way, congratulations to us.
We hit our parlay party again. Lions over the Titans,
(16:13):
Eagles over the Bengals, Broncos over the Panthers plus one
eighty five? How about that? Did it again?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
We're doing is picking winners here?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
What was the payout for that one?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Plus one eighty five?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Not bad?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Thanks Var? Actually juice that up though.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
All right?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
So to a tongue of by Lowe made his return
to the Dolphins starting line up yesterday. Let's take a
listen how.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He felt myself?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Like I said, I've been preparing for five weeks as
if I were to play while I was on IR
So you know, that's that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So it felt normal coming.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Out there, felt normal for the Dolphins because they lost
again too, So there's that that.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The offense looked remarkably better.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
It's it's night and day difference between what they had
looked like and somehow, some way, Arizona just wins another
close game and comes down and and kicks a field
goal and wins it there. But yeah, they look considerably
different with Tua quarterback then without him.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It's gonna be frustrating though, because there's an element of
like what the season could have been, how he just
stayed healthy.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
I think that's the biggest thing here is is it's
not about questioning if they're legit with him in there.
We know he's legitimate in terms of what his contributions
are as the quarterback of this team. I don't think
that's up for debate. It's the question you just asked, like, Okay,
where is this team if Toa is healthy? Where is
(17:50):
this team go if Tua stays healthy? But that's going
to continuously be the constant question that's asked. Is he
going to stay healthy? Can he stay healthy? When is
the next time he's going to get hurt? When is
the next time he's going to get a concussion. It's
interesting because he can mess around and get an injury
(18:11):
that that holds him out or puts them in a
bad situation and it's not even a concussion, you know
what I mean. But the reality of it is is
that the one thing that everybody is going to be
focused in on is if he's going to get a concussion,
and there's no way around that. And I think that
that's going to constantly be the conversation that dominates what
(18:35):
the coverage is and how you look at the Miami Dolphins.
They're one concussion away from being a bad team, period,
is it?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
And for anybody out there that was arguing against giving
him the contract, they should probably double that salary based
on how they look without him. Do they play, by
the way, do they play fins to the left, fence
to the right even when they lose? Is that after
just touchdown after touchdowns? Okay, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
They still got that going again for Lee?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, a little little Jimmy Buffett.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
There are we doing? Okay this morning?
Speaker 6 (19:10):
I'm doing fantastic. Always have Margaritaville ready to rock? Okay, yeah, wait,
hold on.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Maybe I do. All right.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
So that being said, we have another team from the
AFC that'll be taking center stage later on tonight. That'll
be the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are hosting the New
York Giants, and it's actually this weekend turned into be
a pretty important weekend for Pittsburgh because the Bengals lost,
(19:40):
the Browns won, but their season's already over, soah, and
then the Ravens lost the Browns, and so Pittsburgh can
move to six and two if they just do what
they're projected to do their six point favorites tonight against
the Giants, if they just take care of business on
Monday Night Football, All of a sudden, Pittsburgh sitting at
six and two, floating around that two seed in the
(20:03):
AFC as maybe the next team up behind Kansas City
to potentially make a deep run in the postseason. Russell
Wilson out there slinging it well, I was just gonna say,
let's say Russell goes out there and balls out. I mean,
it kind of solidifies the decision, and the move by
Mike Tomlin solidifies maybe their spot too as far as
(20:23):
being the top the AFC North or the AFC in general,
is a playoff team. If they don't, though, how would
this how would have lost tonight change the perception for
you guys of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's a.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It's a it's a strong question for the simple fact
that I'm not certain. Because here's the thing. The Giants
defense is pretty good defense, so there's a strong possibility
that they could give Pittsburgh some real, real issues out there.
It's just a matter of what they can do offensively
(20:58):
against the Steelers hunting defense. I almost feel as though
we will still see a positive contribution from Russell Wilson,
but they have to win in order for it to
seemingly be a success, Meaning the defense can't let the
(21:19):
Steelers down this evening either. So I think it's kind
of a loaded question because if they were to lose,
I think that I think it will certainly play a
role in how we view view Russ's performance. If he's
performed well, gave them the opportunity to win, I think
(21:39):
you stayed, of course, But if for some reason he
plays poorly, which could very well be the case, he
could end up playing poorly against the type of pressure
that the Giants are able to bring on quarterbacks. I
think that it opens up the door for conversations as
to what what do you do next? This is seemingly
(22:04):
after one game, watching Russ get his legs under him
and get up to the speed of the game and
his his first appearance that this is a more prolific
offense with him out there. But with that being said,
if there is a team that shows that they can
create the type of pressure that forces Russell Wilson to
(22:25):
move around and have to improvise and read and throw
while using es capability from from the past, rush can
he do it? And I would say I'm not confident
that he can. So we're going to have to see
how he handles if he gets because I think he
will get pressure tonight. We're going to have to see
(22:46):
can he still be the type of quarterback that showed
some some real signs of you know, positive production, you
know his first game in you know.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
The Giants or the other team that Russ talked to.
I think he took a visit with them after his
departure from Dennis Right, so some dump truck nuts I
think saw enough of Russell Wilson to be like, yeah,
it would be an upgrade over Daniel Jones, and they
brought him in and he ended up going to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Anyways, kind of a kind of a showcase to the
Giants front office and ownership since they kind of passed
on him.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, I decided to stick.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I got something to prove maybe.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I mean, although with the way this weekend is gone,
I could see the Giants winning this game out right,
like it's been a it's just a weird weekend in
the what was weird about it?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
What outcome were you?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Oh, that wasn't supposed to happen.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
The Jets losing to New England, Like those are divisional games,
Like I don't ever look at a divisional game the
NFL and find myself overly shocked by outcomes. I mean,
I mean, like Denver beat the hell out of Carolina. Okay,
we've seen that Houston ends up being the better team
versus Indiana. Okay, tight game though divisional game.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I mean there's a if you look at Cleveland, like
it really was a miracle for the way they were
able to come back in that game. I'll given all
the circumstances, but it's a divisional game that you know
they're gonna play each other.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Tight.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I just I don't know. I looked at the New
England game and with the Jets and thought, yeah, I
could I could easily happen. I mean, you're talking about
two bad football teams.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
What was the final line?
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
What did it close? At New England and the Jets?
Were the Jets a seven point favorite?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Was it that high?
Speaker 4 (24:31):
I'm almost positive the Jets were a seven point favorite
unless I'm unless I'm crossing the streams and thinking of
another game. Yeah, they were a seven point favorite going
into that game. How the hell are the Jets a
seven point favorite against anybody?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I seriously, like, who would you care?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Vegas man? As many times we compliment Vegas, like, for example,
I think this week they had the spread on the
UCF BYU game kind of tight. I think actually UCF
where they get they were like giving a point a
half or something like that. Then I flicked it might
have flipped the one point where b YU was only
favored by a point or two. Boy, you beat the dog.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Out of them.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And I kept looking at it thinking, this is one
of those funky lines that scares people away from betting
it because they're not sure what Vegas is signaling. But
sometimes they just get them. They get them wrong, They
flat out get them wrong.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
I wonder if I wonder New York Football fans are like,
all right, season's over, let's just focus on the Yankee
game tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
If that's like, I'm certain, I'm sure a lot more
people will be paid to the World Series than they
will be Monday Night football.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You think, don't we have a lot of different New
York teams? I mean, the Islanders are playing the night,
we got the Yankees, We got the Giants there.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, I don't know if the Knicks are playing. Does
the NBA S has it started yet?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yes? Started? You don't remember Lebron and brought right historic moment. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Welcome.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It was the exact same thing as Ken Griffy Junior
and Senior playing.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
The Calves Knicks tonight as well too.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Ag.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Yeah, so there's a lot going on there in New York.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Tells me that traffic will be quite as bad in
New York as it was in LA this week. Yeah
it was.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
It was pretty brutal in LA.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
And uh what was there?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
What were you saying in the USC game they had
was it thirty percent capacity at kickoff or something like that.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yeah, it was pretty brutal.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I mean surprised I got up to that much.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Dang, A lot of fans stressed the seats.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Dang, it'd be like really and then they.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Took care of business. Though you know that could have
been a could have been a bad one if Rutgers
end up taking care of business.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, so so us he's back. We got the World
Series later on the night, we got Steelers Giants. So
a fun night of sports for everybody, uh to be
able to partake in. U And if you were one
of those you know, gambling fiends out there, bet wisely
all right, because you know that's six point spread seems
a little steep. I think that's the largest spread a
(27:05):
Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin Steelers have had in at least
a couple of years, like they have not had. They
have not been favored by this much in a long time,
if I have that correctly here. So maybe Russell Wilson
will get cooking and we'll be singing his praises. Coming
up tomorrow morning on the show, it is two Pros
and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
(27:26):

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Also, we need Russell Wilson have a great game.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
We do. We need him to have a great game

prisc gotts to eat his words perfect. All right.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
That sounds like a plan. All right, So without further ado,
it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Please might smell a little fun game.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
What that sounds incredible? But they're still good. Time to
find out? What's lap?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It's Lee's lap? All right?
Speaker 4 (29:06):
The lap? What do we got?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
All right, guys, it's a busy week.
Speaker 6 (29:08):
It's Halloween week, and I have a problem. My my
neighbors are very strong decorators and they're making me look bad.
But they also attract a big crowd, and I'm already
getting tricker treaters.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Is this a problem? I think it is because I
don't already getting tricker treaters. People are knocking the door
asking for candy.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
They're like looking at me, looking for candy, and I
don't have any candy.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Those are called bums, Lee, it's not treat like. There's
not people walking up to your door dressed up saying
trigger treat.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Aren't they They have their buckets, The kids have their
buckets to do that.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Or that you were that blasted on the weekend, that
you had a dream or you were like, were blacked
out drunk. Thing this happened, that was last year.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
You just woke out, all right?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Do you guys have a big decorators on your block?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
You know what the real problem is is that those
are still your neighbors.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
That's a real problem. Like they Wow, it's a great
that's a great observation, and not because they lived there.
I knew a scarecrow, did that one sink in?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
I knew a scarecrow, But it's actually a guy passed
out in a chair and it looks like it looks
like me.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Can I go ahead and throw in something for these leftovers?
If you guys have a chance to see the Dwayne
Wade statue?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yeah, Jesus, what was that awesome?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
It was? He looked like awesome. I mean everything was awesome.
Besides his face that doesn't look anything like him.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a tad bit offensive.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Well, what would you do if you were him in
that instance? And you haven't seen it yet. This is
the first time you see it's in public, everyone's filming.
You would you just kind of smile and be like
that doesn't look like me? Or would you just have
a natural reaction where you're like you look at the
guy design and go, what the hell is that?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I would one hundred percent be like, dude, like this
ain't it?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
I'm sorry? And I would not hide my disappointment either,
like I might like just have to walk away.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Why can't they make these bronze statues look like the
actual individual it's supposed to. I don't understand why it's
so difficult. I mean, nothing's worse than the Sean Taylor stats. Actually,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
If you's They took out the statue, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
They took that down. The other one was bad. Didn'
they change the Kobe one?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
They had a typo on it? Yeah, they screwed up
some stuff on that. That was all. They didn't take
it down. I just think that they had a typo
on it. Yeah yeah, Well.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Lee, were you going to get that in your leftovers?
And I did? I did.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
I had it for in case you missed it, and
I had it left over for leftovers.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Oh he's shaking? Was sure where you're going there, so
we had to get that out.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Yeah, shaking his head, he's like, who is that? You
can literally see him saying.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
That it's a very unattractive face.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
For it does I mean, it doesn't look it looks
more like a gargoyle than it does like Dwayne Wade, who's.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
It definitely doesn't look good at all.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So there's that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I can't believe that. Who's that guy? I mean, that's
one hundred percent how I would have responded to.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, I mean like you can't. Yeah, I know they
don't want to reveal the surprise, but you know, can't
at least like you could run that buy in first
and be like, hey you okay with this?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Why could you show him that before you put that together?
Why you say one more time?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Like that's crazy?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I can't believe it? Who's that guy?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
All right? What else we got, late, guys?
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Tampa Bay Lightning owner has hooked up his employees with
twenty million dollars in bonuses after selling a majority steak
in the team.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
People who are full time employees of the team get
between fifty and sixty six thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Oh sweet, it's pretty sweet. Didn't Mark Cuban do this
with the Mavericks, like when he when he sold the Mavericks.
I think a bunch of employees got some stuff from
Mark Cuban.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
They got some stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Yeah, at least he could do, you know, hook him
up with a little something.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, okay, the hope, especially since someone's gonna be owning
and running them now, it's just like a parting gift,
you know, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
What good for them?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
What else?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Lee?
Speaker 6 (33:32):
I am officially done saying happy birthday to everybody.
Speaker 3 (33:35):

Do all of your exes? What?
Speaker 6 (33:50):
They all have a birthday within a week of each other,

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Lee, I think you need to retire on having exes, bro,
That's what I think.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
You need to pick one at some point they.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Might retire it for him.

That's what I'm saying. Like, here's what I know is
Todd loves you. Man, He looks after and you guys
are compared. Oh yeah, and you have the same interest.
I can't say the same for whatever else you got.
