Speaker 6 (01:15):

Speaker 7 (01:16):
I said earlier, No delivery Wednesday yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That doesn't mean you didn't drink though.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
No I did.
Speaker 8 (01:22):
I had one drink at a happy hour between at halftime,
I delivered some sins to Todd who was doing a
special event over at the good Night And uh.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
You've never only had one drink in your life.

It's like somebody's saying I saw one ant in my house. No,
there's not just one. Ants don't They don't run singular.
It's like rats. They don't run singular. They running packed roaches.
Speaker 9 (01:48):
What's so long as you've ever gone without drinking? League
like duration of time?
Speaker 10 (01:53):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (01:53):
Probably then probably the first eighteen years of my life. Yeah,
I don't know when the show starts.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And then he fell in love?
Speaker 9 (02:02):
You said the first eighteen years of your life. No,
I'm saying once you started drinking.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
Yeah, I don't know. Several months. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Several Right, there's no way that's true.
Speaker 9 (02:14):
If we challenged you right now, how long do you
think you could go without drinking?
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Well, you got to give me a reward. Depends how
big the reward is. You're gonna just challenge me. I'm
I'm I don't care.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Have a health and longevity.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
How about your liver? Call just to help you out.
Speaker 8 (02:30):
Yeah, guys, I'm racing to the end here. I'm good. Um, No,
I could, but I don't know. You've put a goal
in front of me. Let's let's set it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You're a real goal oriented guy.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Okay, by the way, are we going to uh? Are
we drawing names out of the hat for the PGA?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (02:49):
For uh wait for the what for the PGA? We
have to do it for the pretnance too, though, but
we need to. I'm sure Lee saw that at some point.
Got that ready, Lee? Do you have the names ready
and hat first to draw?
Speaker 7 (03:01):
I have him for the PGA.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Yeah, I got those ready ready to rock Preakness after tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Do we need we need some time or when? I?
Uh kind?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Whoever gets Rory I think is gonna win it.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
I'm just sam.
Speaker 11 (03:16):
He's got some swagger about him, some Irishman swagger.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Hey, By the way, do we have the Rory mclroy
talking about not talking to Bryson de Shamba in the
final round of the Masters? Apparently people Bryce was, yeah,
I didn't really talk to me much because he was
so locked in, and Rory McElroy addressed it yesterday.
Speaker 12 (03:35):
I don't know what he was expecting, Like, I mean,
we're trying to win the Masters. I'm not going to
try to be his best met out there. I was
focused on myself and what I needed to do. You know,
it wasn't anything against him. It's just I felt that's
what I needed to do to to try to get
the best out of myself that day.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Brady, you're more up to speed on this stuff. Are
those Do those guys have some sort of a beef issues.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
There's some resentment and uh, there's some issues between.
Speaker 11 (04:01):
The guys who are on the PGA Tour and the
guys who are on the Live Tour, which bryceon d
Chambau's on the Live Tour.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
There's been a lot of pushes to try.
Speaker 11 (04:10):
To get a deal done and merging between the two,
although that's gonna be tough to do because there could
be some anti trust issues. As I believe the Live
Tours the whole premise of them forming, and part of
the argument was that, you know, the PGA tours monopoly
on professional golf in the United States. So I'm not
(04:34):
really sure how that's gonna work then, since you're now
merging between the two and becoming one. Anyway, there is
some some bad blood there. There's no doubt in that instance.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 11 (04:44):
I think I'm kind of more on Rory's side, like you.
He's trying to win a Grand Slam. He's trying to
put himself in with what five six other golfers that
I've ever done that before, So I'm not sure he's
worried about being nice to Bryson.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Just my take.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I mean, what's all right? What lebar fell asleep again?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh? Sleep earlier?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So all right, let's let's let's wake Bar up. And uh,
Lee's gotten names. He's got names in a in a
tiny hat? Which or what for the PGA Championships.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
It's a a.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Golf major tomorrow. By the way, is that a build
a bear hat for a homeless teddy bear?
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (05:32):
You'd have to ask Larena on this one. I'm not
sure where this hat came from. It is a super
Bowl hat, though.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
That hat looks like it as syphilist.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Yeah, it is a build a bear hat.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
It's got a little uh for years, I guess, yeah, Jesus.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
All right, So I who is the defendant? So Lee
had Rory McRoy for the master?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Is right? All right?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
So Lee, do you want to go first?
Speaker 7 (05:56):
Sure, I'll go first. Here we go into the building hat,
I go.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Totale. What's so weird?
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Well it's not Rory, but it's the only golfer that
has better odds than Rory Scott.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I mean, if the shoe fits. It's the guy who
got arrested last year at the PGA. Of course we
would take him, all right, Braden, you want to reach
your long arm into this hat?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
There, all right, all right.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
All right, let's see what he got here?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Wait, third best, fourth best odds. I know he's the
number three in the world.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Run now twenty one. I think he's about the fifth.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Or that's not good, that's not good.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
When sweat ar.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
LaVar, you've got some long arms.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Once you reach that long one in here and pull
out a hat, pull out a name from a hat.
Speaker 9 (06:52):

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Why yeah is that bluey?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
It's free from the aristocrat?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
O god, this it wants to be kicked.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Do you guys want to hear, uh, somebody involved in
the NFL scheduling who lied?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
You want to hear a liar?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I think I know where it's going to.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So, uh, Mike North not to be confused with the
radio legend of the great Mike North former Fox Sports
Radio or Peter go ahead, Yes, Peter North, Yes, big,
big fans of his work, I'm sure. But Mike North,
uh discus the decision to have the Steelers play at
(09:04):
the Jets in Week one because the feeling is well,
you know, if Rogers is going to be the quarterback
of the Steelers, he goes back to New York.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Justin Fields is there?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You put it on early in the year, like we
talked about it earlier, and so Mike North said the
following quote. You'll see Pittsburgh at the Jets are on
CBS at one o'clock in the afternoon in Week one,
along with seven other NFL games all at the same time.
I think if the league knew, we probably would have
scheduled that game for a national television window. So at worst,
(09:34):
it's Justin Fields against his old team. At best, it's
Aaron Rodgers going up against one of his old teams.
Look at what we did with Aaron Rodgers first game
the last two years. If we knew something, I think
you would have seen it reflected in the schedule. That
being said, still a good game. I think they hedge
their bets. They figure he's probably going to play, but
(09:56):
we don't want to take a chance and throw it
on Monday Night football, per se. So let's just he's
given to us week one. So we've got an interesting
storyline in that window.
Speaker 11 (10:05):
Or even at a four o'clock start, right, I mean,
that's the other that's the other big window that would
be potentially up in the air. I mean, I think
what you're gonna end up saying when it's all said
and done, is Tony Romo calling this game. It'll be
a CBS game. Romo will call it, and I think
Rogers will be there. But again, you can go back
to the rationale. It is entertaining from the standpoint that
(10:25):
it is Justin Field's playing his old team, and then
something to be said for that, especially if the you know,
New York Jets take off this season under Aaron Glenn
in their first year, and if Justin Fields ends up
being the quarterback that I think he's he's hoping he's
gonna finally get a shot to be so it's entertaining regardless.
But I do think you'll see Rogers in this one.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
There's not a more intriguing game week one. That's my
first That would be my first question, like what would
be more you know, what matchup would be more intriguing
than that, because it could be the most intriguing game
really literally by default, because neither one of these guys
have won anything in the last year or so to
(11:09):
It depends.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
It depends how you define that, right, Like do you
define like divisional matchups as entertaining, because you've got a
lot of that, right. We've got Dallas Eagles.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
To intriguing, that's more intrigued.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You've got Chiefs Chargers, which should be a good game.
Speaker 9 (11:24):
That's pretty intriguing because I mean, I want to see
how much better I feel like this is the year
a horrorball team, a horrorball led team starts to take
that significant jump. This is third year, right, third second,
second year, second year, second Yeah, well maybe third year,
(11:44):
third year is like the significant jump.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
But Ravens Bills, which is awesome, that's got Packers, Lions awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
At four o'clock.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
You've got Vikings Bears, we Monday Night Jonas.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
That's interesting. That's not that's not as interesting. That one's
Giants Commandos.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That's a good one.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
That one's interesting because I think that there's the Giants.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
There's a lot of great interesting games I think, I think.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
I mean to be honest with you, I think mostly
all of those games sound better than than the Steelers
and the Jets because outside of it being Aaron Rodgers
and Justin Fields, there's no relation between those teams.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Like nobody's going to be like, you know.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
All lathered up like yeah we got the Jets, or well, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
We got the Steelers, just like it.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
You know, there's no real relativity connective tissue there. I
don't think Jets fans are going to be like, yeah, Justin,
let's get the Steelers and and and Pittsburgh fans are
going to be like, yeah, Aaron, let's get let's get
New York, like let's let's not Like, I don't I
don't see that being like an overarching feeling of excitement
(12:53):
going into the game.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The only other game in that window that I would
say has got some interesting elements and storylines too. It
is Raiders at Patriots because you do have the well
you've got you know, Josh McDaniels is now the OC
again in New England. He's facing his former team, the
Tom Brady element, the New England Vegas connection.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
There, there's that.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
But other than that, other than that, but Rogers going
back to play the Jets in Week one, by far
and away of that window is the best game of
the bunch those.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
Games that you just that Q just mentioned or you
just mentioned. Yeah, nah, I don't. I can't go with
you on that, rat sir, can't do it.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I think that.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
I think there's an he's saying in the one o'clock window,
you are here right right right, That's what I'm saying.
What I mean, if if you're if the names you
just read off, what are the other games in the
one o'clock window?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I thought that's what you just read.
Speaker 11 (13:50):
Dolphins, that's Dolphins, Cardinals, Jaguars, Cardinals, Saints, No, Buccaneers, Falcons,
and then Giants Commanders.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Raiders Patriots, who was the Browns Bengals Browns.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
That's a good one. And then Raiders Patriots no, no, Jonah,
that's an.
Speaker 11 (14:13):
Interesting one though. You got Rabel, Josh right, Daniel versus
his old team.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
No, they got to show it. That's like those those
teams got to show something. They got to show you something, huh.
I mean show the people something. You know, I'm part
of the people. I'm I'm the voice of the people,
voice of reason. Just look at look at the things
that people say about me and us on social that
(14:38):
we're clearly together.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Wow, you know, look at yours, look.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
At your social you I just like I just look
at Jonas retweets it.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, that's very true. Jonas loves to retweet them.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Listen, they deserve, Like some of those jokes. Some of
those insults are funny, like jokes.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You're like, well wait, maybe they're big serious.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, like some of that some of that content is funny.
So if it's funny of it, it's gonna get retweeted.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Here.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
I just don't understand why they attack you every single week.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Bruh, every single week. I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
I'm just glad anybody's listening, so I'll take that next time.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
That's probably the only three four people listening though. Yeah,
you know, as soon as we sign off, and I
knew that I was right, because I mean the listeners
said it like I left it on too long, like
they said it like, dang, I try to give you
a good, good audience to listen to you.
Speaker 6 (15:37):

Good morning, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
How you doing, Good morning, guys, How are we doing good? Co?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, So, anything stand out to you other than Mike
North of the NFL, the NFL VP who.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
No, definitely who's that?
Speaker 9 (17:16):
Who?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I look it up?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You do not look that up? But Mike North.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
Mike North saying that we're off to a flying start.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Guy, Mike North saying that, you know, listen, if we
knew Aaron Rodgers was going to be on the Steelers,
we would have put it in a primetime game. Based
on the other matchups in that window. It does feel
like maybe they might have had some sort of a
hunch that that's going to happen. As he goes to
the Jets to play his former team to open up
the air.
Speaker 10 (17:47):
Yeah, And I talked to another one of those scheduling
guys there, Annie Bows, who you know more or less,
said to me, you know, the Steelers are a big brand,
so it sort of protected them in a way where
I'm and it wasn't like, I mean, with all due respect,
it's not like you know, Aaron Rodgers going to the Jaguars,
where it's like, okay, like you know, we have to
(18:08):
make a real decision here. The Steelers are a draw
no matter what, and so they could put them in
enough windows where they know, you know, he'll get a
lot of exposure if he does if he isn't the team,
and because it's the Steelers, they'll be okay even if
he isn't. Now, I mean, like Annie did, can side
to me that they would have handled this a little
(18:29):
bit differently if they knew Aaron was on the team.
And so there's that part of it, and I do think,
you know, the piece of it where you know he's
playing the Jets in week one. I don't think that
was lost on anybody in the room. But there was
also some things they were working around for the Steelers.
The Steelers actually, so they're they're locked in on having
(18:52):
on going to Ireland in week four, and then they
had blocks in week one and week three also because
the Pirates are home and they share the parking lot
with the Pirates, so like they had to be away
in week one, and so when you start to kind
of put all the factors together, you can see where
they were sort of limited their options there. And you know,
(19:13):
putting the Jets Steelers together made sense because it's just
the field's playing against his former team. But I don't
think it would have been at one o'clock if they
knew for sure that Aaron Rodgers was going to be
on the roster.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
Hey, ab on the topic of Aaron Rodgers, not to
try to, you know, do your job for you, but
I've got some insight, and so that leads me to
think he's going to be signed with Pittsburgh at some
point in time here in the future.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
Yeah, Well, are you just saying at some point in time.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Like you know, I feel like I feel like there's
a speculation he can retire, you know, maybe with the
same situation, maybe he'd look there.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I have some incenter info that it's going to be
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
I don't think it's going to be the Saints. I'm
with you. I mean I think I think I think
he does wind up with the Steelers. And and you always,
I mean one one thing about this, Brady, like the
way I tried to, you know, talk about it. And
I think it's important to kind of keep yourself some
wiggle room on this thing because because because until he's
under contract, like I think, anything can happen. You know,
(20:16):
I do think his personal situation, which he has referenced
now publicly, I I think that that is that's definitely
a factor here. And here's here's how is that. You know,
it would have made a lot of people feel better
if he had just signed a contract in the first
week April, right. The problem with that is if he
is dealing with a personal situation and he wasn't going
(20:38):
to be able to be there for a lot of
the spring, well then you know, what are you inviting
If you do sign him and then say, well, he's
going to be away for a while, Well, then every
time you have any sort of checkpoint in the spring,
whether it's the beginning of the off season program, the
beginning of OTAs, the beginning of any camp, there's going
to be just an absolute tidal wave of where's right,
where's Aaron? Why is there here? Is Aaron really committed
(21:01):
to the team? And if he's not under contract, you
don't have to deal with that, you know. Like so,
I think for for Aaron and the Steelers, it made
the most sense and always has made the most sense
to say, like, let's just wait until you're going to
be all the way in and then we'll do the contract. Now.
The risk for the Steelers, of course, here would be
(21:21):
that the guy changes his mind, and you know, I
think you always have to kind of like leave some
margin for air with that. But I do think that
there's a you know, a pretty good feeling and he's
gonna wind up signing the Steelers, like you said, at
some point. I'm not saying it's gonna be the next
twenty four hours, but I think that is the likelihood.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
Abe, I have some outside information that says Pickens is
going to the Cowboys. I really have this outside information.
I believe he will be a Dallas Cowboy, do you
think now? Taking a shot anyway, I thought it was
kind of funny. Actually he is going George Pickens is
(22:02):
going to Dallas to play for George Pickens is going
to Dallas to play for the Cowboys. What has the conversations,
if any, that you've heard now that the schedule releases out.
They've got a pretty pretty tough schedule. I mean, they
got the Lions, they got the Vikings, they got the
Chargers obviously to Commanders twice, obviously to Eagles twice. I mean,
(22:25):
what does this Does this create any more excitement? What's
the feeling with Dallas right now?
Speaker 10 (22:33):
You know, one thing I've learned about the Cowboys LeVar
over the years is that they're not in the same
category as everybody else. They are when it comes to
these sorts of things, scheduling and everything else. You can't
look at them the same way you look at anyone else.
They won seven to ten last year, and somehow they
got six prime time games in eight standalone games, and
(22:56):
they're playing on Thanksgiving as they always do. They're in
the cut spotlight on Ristmiths during the kickoff game. You know,
it's it's like Bill Barcell said, the like everybody else
is allowed to act and the Cowboys are on the
main stage. It's it's just I think, you know, there's
just an acceptance that they're different from everybody else. So
I don't know that the way that they were scheduled
(23:18):
out really has has anything to do with any sort
of acquisition they made me the off she now does
the pickings thing make them a little bit more appealing
because there a little bit more intrigue around them. Sure,
you know, they've got a new head coach. You know,
now they've got a new receiver. They're gonna have Dak
Prescott coming back. There's gonna be pressure on Dak. Of
(23:39):
course he gets hurt in the or these signs of
sixty million dollars contract, and so yeah, I mean there's
certainly storylines that intrigue around the Cowboys, but there always is,
you know, It's just it is what that team is.
It is what that team's always been, and it is
that that team will continue to be until they start
playing games again.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Get them on act at Albert Breers, Senior NFL reporter,
lead content strategist at the MMQB, joining us here on
Fox Sports Radio. So you just posted an article about
an hour ago, and you talked with the people that
put together the schedule in the NFL and just sort
of how they come to the decisions that they made.
What was the most interesting aspect of their process that
(24:22):
you found to you this year as opposed to previous seasons.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
I think the big thing. One thing I thought was
really interesting was kind of how they looked at the
schedule and there's the automatic like stuff that they know
right like they that they know before the previous season
even ends. And one thing that stuck out was kind
of how the division matchups were going to be really
attractive in that the NFC East, which is the big brand,
(24:49):
was going to play the NFC North, and the NFC
North obviously is very very deep, and then the NFC
North was going to play the AFC North, which is
similarly deep. So that was going to create, I think,
a deeper, richer schedule than than than they usually have.
And they went back to last year and they felt
like last year was so two years ago. They rolled
(25:10):
the dice in the Lions and putting the Lions the
kickoff game, and the idea there was like we're gonna
sort of be ahead on this, and it worked. The
Lions wound up the filling in the potential that a
lot of people thought they had, you know, went to
the NFC title game that year and all of that.
Last year they went the other way and did you know,
(25:30):
a championship game rematch between the Ravens and the Chiefs,
And you know, I think what they found was just
putting a big game, like amplifying a big window with
a big game really really worked. And so you know,
going into this year, I think they with a deeper
(25:50):
recher schedule, they felt like, let's just you know, let's
just take a commitment. We're gonna go big all over
the place wherever we can, and let's not overcome implicate this,
and let's not get cute, and let's just put the
big brands and the big windows. And I think that
that's reflected in the kickoff window where they're they're putting
Eagles Cowboys, where I think, you know, the logic a
(26:12):
lot of other years would have been like let's save
that one. That thing will rate no matter what. They're
putting that big game in that big window. And I
think it's reflected on Thanksgiving too, like the I can't
remember the last time the Cowboys had an opponent like
the Chiefs coming in, you know, but Cowboys Chiefs now
looks like a massive game from television standpoint Anyways, we'll
see how good the Cowboys wind up being. But we're
(26:33):
a television standpoint. That's a massive, massive draw right there
on Thanksgiving Day. So that to me was the most
interesting thing. Is like a lot of times you look
at it to say, Okay, the kickoff window, the Thanksgiving
late afternoon Dallas game, Like those games are going to
rate no matter what, Like we could put whoever we
want in that window and it's not going to matter.
Like now they kind of it's almost a different courts
(26:54):
on it a little bit, you know what, Like now
we're going to try to put huge games and huge windows,
and let's do what happens.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Ab who got shafted this year with their schedule? Like
who's the one schedule? Look at me and go, oh,
probably would have the season would have won a different direction.
Maybe if they didn't have the schedule they've got.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
Oh, Brady Quinton, you're very Cleveland Brown, You're very own
Cleveland Brown.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
They should have a primetime game or maybe.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
Yeah, I mean, well the zero primetime games is kind
of a slop in the space. But I mean, like,
look at this, right, So they play the Bengals at Ravens,
Packers at Lions, the Vikings in London, and then they're
at the Steelers coming back the next week like that
could and as this isn't a shot the Cleveland at
(27:43):
the team, the team has a chance to be pretty decent,
but are they gonna be favored in any of those games?
Probably not? Right?
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (27:53):
Yeah, So I mean like that's like, I mean, if
you're talking on in six, like what does that look
like then, you know, like with the quarterback situation being
what it is and everything else, I mean, it's just
like it's hard not to look at that and say
that is a really tough draw for a team that's
going to have a lot going on, it's still going
(28:13):
to have to figure out a lot very early.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
In the year.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
That was one that that was one that sorry sorry,
that might be why their win totals listed at four
and a half on DraftKings.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
It could be.
Speaker 10 (28:26):
Yeah, I mean, I but I look at it like
that's like one where it's like, man like that stuff.
I think the Cowboys wouldn't be one if you look
at that and say so like last year, right, Like
so the Jets last year they got screwed up the
top where it was like they had to go to
San Francisco on Monday night, then they had to play
another road game the following time, they had Tennessee, and
(28:46):
then they had to come back and play their home
opener on Thursday against the Patriot.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So that was because Rogers did get vaccinated.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Is what I heard, right, But that I think those
guys would tell. And then they went to London two
weeks after that, Like I think those guys would tell you,
guys who went through that, that completely set their season
off the rails. So like this year, they only did
that three games and ten days sing to one team
where it was Monday, Sunday, Thursday. But that was the Cowboys.
(29:16):
And if there's one owner who's not going to complain
about being put in those sorts of windows, who's it
going to be? It was Jerry Jones, right, So like
the Cowboys. You can look at their schedule and you
can find some of those things, but I also think
Jerry invites those things. They play on Thursday four times, guys.
Now one of them is a kickoff, granted, but it
(29:37):
is sort of interesting, like seeing like where the Cowboys
are are playing that funky two Monday, four Thursday, fourth
Thursday schedule and if it was anybody else, you'd be saying, like, man,
they got a lot to complain about. But you know
their owner is somebody who's never going to complain about
being put in those windows because he wants, you know,
them on those sorts of stages.
Speaker 9 (29:59):
Maybe have you in any word any discussion that's come
out of the rookie camp in Cleveland. Obviously it's a
topic of discussion amongst people in football as to what
they're going to do. And I mean, do you have
an idea what they're going to do at the quarterbacks position?
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Two to that point?
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Sure, I think. I mean, I would say, LeVar, it's
just there's a long way to go, you know. I
think that's the main thing that I've gotten coming back
from those people, And it's just, you know, I don't know.
I you know, I think the challenge now for Kevin
Soosanski and Tommy Reese and all the people there is
going to be the narrow the competition at least a
(30:43):
little bit over the course of the next six weeks,
like in the rookie camp as the start of that.
But I don't know how you can go in the
summer with four guys like on even playing field at
the quarterback position while you're trying to build a team
that's ready to go Week one. I think it's really
difficult to do that, you know, so with all the
rules being what they are now and everything else, so
(31:06):
you know, I will say the one thing that I
have heard on Dylan Gabriel is he was just absolutely
outstanding during the pre draft process.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Right.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
You might have dealt with him a little bit, right,
like when you call it with your college stuff, a parent.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
Supermature high football IQ like does says all the right things.
Speaker 10 (31:24):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, like from what I heard, just
checked every single box, Like it was awesome during the
pre draft process, which is part of why you know
he goes in the third round, even though he's got
something of a limited you know, physical skill set. You know,
so there's that. And then I think with Shador it
was kind of like the grade got the point for
some of the guys in that building where it was
(31:46):
like we we we sort of have to take a
swing here. The problem that creates the course is now
you've got four quarterbacks battling it out.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
Now.
Speaker 10 (31:53):
I have heard some people say like and and this
has come up a few times, Well, Joe Flacco doesn't
need the rest. But I don't know that Joe Flacco
is going to be so open to the idea of
taking a step back if it's going to give the
other guys in the competition at advantage, you know, in
other words, like if you're Joe Blacco, or are you
going to sit there and say, oh, yeah, no big deal.
You get the work with the receivers, you get the
work with the offense, you get the work with a
(32:15):
new coordinator. I'll just sit here and I'll buy my time. Like,
I don't know that Joe would sign off on that
either when he's trying to win the starting job, you know.
So it's a complicated situation, certainly a challenging one for
Kevin and for you know, a first year coordinator there,
and Tommy Reeves too.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Aby we got thirty seconds. I'm just curious what's the
timeline on any either extension or trade for Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
I don't know that there is one. It's a really
unpredictable situation, but I don't think there's any hometown discount calling. Obviously,
this thing is in a great spot right now, and
there are enough pass rushers who are making, you know,
in the mid thirties, Max Crosby and d'anil Hunter, I
think would be two pretty good comps there where you
look at it and you say the Bengals are gonna
(33:03):
have to bite the ball and pay him in that
neighborhood or else. This is gonna this is gonna last
a while.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Get him on X at Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter,
lead content strategist at the MMQB. A great article just

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Oh man?
Speaker 8 (35:02):
We stopped Hotel California right before I kicked in fitting though,
because we do have some California stories.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
To kick it off.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
In and Out no more artificial dyes in their lemonade
and strawberries, and now introducing real sugar in their ketchup.
I think this is all in an attempt to be
a little healthier for one of the more healthy fast
food chains out there.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
In and Out's healthy.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I have no problems with In and Out regardless.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
They're doing like those tomato Instead of using buns, you
use tomatoes as like the bun. Now, I think like
for like, I guess people who don't want to eat
I guess all the cars.
Speaker 8 (35:40):
I haven't heard of that one. But there's the protein wrap,
which is always you know, let us wrap.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
And the Flying dutch Man is the grilled onions as
the bun.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Maybe maybe somebody did it to
the burger.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
I don't know, but I saw tomato as like to
tomato as basically the buns.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Pretty aggressive, Yeah, very water, pretty good actually.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
I mean anyway, it's not healthy. So if it's not healthy,
just wear it and say, no, what is what it is?
You want to eat us or you don't want to
eat us?
Speaker 6 (36:17):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
There's always there's always a line out the drive through.
It's not like they're hurting for business. Just keep doing
what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Yeah, they call it the tomato rap. There you go.
Speaker 8 (36:27):
I've the line is always notoriously long. I've been coming
back with food in my car from another location. But
if I see that it's a short line at an
in and out, I'll dip in.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
And fit really yeah, even after you already got food.
Speaker 8 (36:43):
Yeah, I'll just say, well, I'll save that for later,
I'll get I'll eat the in and out now or
vice versa.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
That's definitely not healthy.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
No, definitely not.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
You call it healthy because you're just compared it to
like other fast food like McDonald's.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
You know, it's actually considered one of the more healthy
fast foods. It might be surprising to you. Taco Bell
no way, yeah, out of fast food chain. Well, I
mean think about it.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
You're not eating a bunch of buns and uh stuff
like that. It's mostly just the ground beef.
Speaker 9 (37:12):
Is it ground beef or chicken whatever, whatever, it's dog food.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I mean, how do you define fast food?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Is does Chick fil a? Chipotle does that falling in
the category.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
It does on most people's categories of fast food?
Speaker 5 (37:30):
It does.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
If it has a drive through, it's considered fast food.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Do Chapole have drive throughs now?
Speaker 7 (37:36):
Chipotle?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Nothing I know of?
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Actually, Chipotle, I'm never the.
Speaker 11 (37:40):
Research I'm doing says Chick fil A, Subway, Panera, Bread, Chipotle,
all healthier options than your taco bell.
Speaker 8 (37:46):
But yeah, well i'll take I'll take. I'll take Chipotle
and Subway out of it. I can't imagine some way
is that healthy?
Speaker 9 (37:56):
Really?
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Why you laugh before you say what is?
Speaker 7 (38:00):
Because they change change body because I'm trying to make
my argument.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Oh okay, I don't know that it was a good Okay,
all right?
Speaker 8 (38:09):
What h Tonight is the second of four show Hey
Otani Bubblehead Nights. It's the first of a fifty to
fifty bubblehead every week.
Speaker 10 (38:19):
I know.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, I feel like they always have a show.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
People can't get enough of them, Like they can't get
enough and there's going to be a line at the
stadium starting at about noon, and people show up there.
The gates don't even open until I think three or
four maybe, and people camp out in the parking lot
and they eat in their car and wait for the
line to open up so.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
They can get in there and get a bobblehead.
Speaker 7 (38:44):
I bet they're there right now.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
It's wild. It's a toy. You can't even play with it.
It just sits there and shakes its head.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
This one has him sliding into base.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Okay, all right, But then they'll sell them on eBay
for two hundred bucks. They'll go right up on eBay
after they get them for two hundred bucks. Is is
there a limit? Is it the first forty thousand?
Speaker 6 (39:09):
Generally?
Speaker 8 (39:09):
Last time it was everybody got ba I believe this
one is forty thousand. Uh, guys, I cured Lorena's hiccups.
I know everyone's got a cure out there for you.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Did yep?
Speaker 5 (39:21):
What do you mean? I mean if you break win,
then you can't breathe and you can't have a hiccup.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
You know.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Yeah that's uh. Jonah says, his is his technique is
just hold your breath.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I hold your breath. Yeah, it's not that hard.
Speaker 9 (39:33):
If you break when then you're going to hold your breath.
If you're going to hold your breath, and then that's
going to defeat the hiccup.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
That's a good that's a good call.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
How'd you do it?
Speaker 10 (39:41):
Lee?
Speaker 6 (39:41):
What was your So?
Speaker 8 (39:42):
My my trick is that a lot of people have
techniques that are similar to this. Is you put a
paper towel over a glass of water and you siphon
the water through it. It's something to do with hell,
you're messing with your throat something like that.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
Yeah about how you Yeah, but it worked, So there
you go.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
So just waterboard yourself.
Speaker 9 (39:59):
Yeah wa, he's okay, jeez, all right, Well another amazing
Lee's leftover saved my life.

Okay, by the way, are we going to uh? Are
we drawing names out of the hat for the PGA?
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (02:49):
For uh wait for the what for the PGA? We
have to do it for the pretnance too, though, but
we need to. I'm sure Lee saw that at some point.
Got that ready, Lee? Do you have the names ready
and hat first to draw?
Speaker 7 (03:01):
I have him for the PGA.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (03:04):
Yeah, I got those ready ready to rock Preakness after tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Do we need we need some time or when? I?
Uh kind?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Whoever gets Rory I think is gonna win it.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
I'm just sam.
Speaker 11 (03:16):
He's got some swagger about him, some Irishman swagger.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Hey, By the way, do we have the Rory mclroy
talking about not talking to Bryson de Shamba in the
final round of the Masters? Apparently people Bryce was, yeah,
I didn't really talk to me much because he was
so locked in, and Rory McElroy addressed it yesterday.
Speaker 12 (03:35):
I don't know what he was expecting, Like, I mean,
we're trying to win the Masters. I'm not going to
try to be his best met out there. I was
focused on myself and what I needed to do. You know,
it wasn't anything against him. It's just I felt that's
what I needed to do to to try to get
the best out of myself that day.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Brady, you're more up to speed on this stuff. Are
those Do those guys have some sort of a beef issues.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
There's some resentment and uh, there's some issues between.
Speaker 11 (04:01):
The guys who are on the PGA Tour and the
guys who are on the Live Tour, which bryceon d
Chambau's on the Live Tour.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
There's been a lot of pushes to try.
Speaker 11 (04:10):
To get a deal done and merging between the two,
although that's gonna be tough to do because there could
be some anti trust issues. As I believe the Live
Tours the whole premise of them forming, and part of
the argument was that, you know, the PGA tours monopoly
on professional golf in the United States. So I'm not
(04:34):
really sure how that's gonna work then, since you're now
merging between the two and becoming one. Anyway, there is
some some bad blood there. There's no doubt in that instance.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 11 (04:44):
I think I'm kind of more on Rory's side, like you.
He's trying to win a Grand Slam. He's trying to
put himself in with what five six other golfers that
I've ever done that before, So I'm not sure he's
worried about being nice to Bryson.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Just my take.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I mean, what's all right? What lebar fell asleep again?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh? Sleep earlier?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So all right, let's let's let's wake Bar up. And uh,
Lee's gotten names. He's got names in a in a
tiny hat? Which or what for the PGA Championships.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
It's a a.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Golf major tomorrow. By the way, is that a build
a bear hat for a homeless teddy bear?
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (05:32):
You'd have to ask Larena on this one. I'm not
sure where this hat came from. It is a super
Bowl hat, though.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
That hat looks like it as syphilist.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Yeah, it is a build a bear hat.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
It's got a little uh for years, I guess, yeah, Jesus.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
All right, So I who is the defendant? So Lee
had Rory McRoy for the master?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Is right? All right?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
So Lee, do you want to go first?
Speaker 7 (05:56):
Sure, I'll go first. Here we go into the building hat,
I go.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Totale. What's so weird?
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Well it's not Rory, but it's the only golfer that
has better odds than Rory Scott.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I mean, if the shoe fits. It's the guy who
got arrested last year at the PGA. Of course we
would take him, all right, Braden, you want to reach
your long arm into this hat?
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
There, all right, all right.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
All right, let's see what he got here?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Wait, third best, fourth best odds. I know he's the
number three in the world.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Run now twenty one. I think he's about the fifth.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Or that's not good, that's not good.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
When sweat ar.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
LaVar, you've got some long arms.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Once you reach that long one in here and pull
out a hat, pull out a name from a hat.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
All right, there it is, all right, I see it.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
We got all right, Oh and there it is Rory McElroy.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
It's free from the aristocrat?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
O god, this it wants to be kicked.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Do you guys want to hear, uh, somebody involved in
the NFL scheduling who lied?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
You want to hear a liar?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I think I know where it's going to.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So, uh, Mike North not to be confused with the
radio legend of the great Mike North former Fox Sports
Radio or Peter go ahead, Yes, Peter North, Yes, big,
big fans of his work, I'm sure. But Mike North,
uh discus the decision to have the Steelers play at
(09:04):
the Jets in Week one because the feeling is well,
you know, if Rogers is going to be the quarterback
of the Steelers, he goes back to New York.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Justin Fields is there?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
You put it on early in the year, like we
talked about it earlier, and so Mike North said the
following quote. You'll see Pittsburgh at the Jets are on
CBS at one o'clock in the afternoon in Week one,
along with seven other NFL games all at the same time.
I think if the league knew, we probably would have
scheduled that game for a national television window. So at worst,
(09:34):
it's Justin Fields against his old team. At best, it's
Aaron Rodgers going up against one of his old teams.
Look at what we did with Aaron Rodgers first game
the last two years. If we knew something, I think
you would have seen it reflected in the schedule. That
being said, still a good game. I think they hedge
their bets. They figure he's probably going to play, but
(09:56):
we don't want to take a chance and throw it
on Monday Night football, per se. So let's just he's
given to us week one. So we've got an interesting
storyline in that window.
Speaker 11 (10:05):
Or even at a four o'clock start, right, I mean,
that's the other that's the other big window that would
be potentially up in the air. I mean, I think
what you're gonna end up saying when it's all said
and done, is Tony Romo calling this game. It'll be
a CBS game. Romo will call it, and I think
Rogers will be there. But again, you can go back
to the rationale. It is entertaining from the standpoint that
(10:25):
it is Justin Field's playing his old team, and then
something to be said for that, especially if the you know,
New York Jets take off this season under Aaron Glenn
in their first year, and if Justin Fields ends up
being the quarterback that I think he's he's hoping he's
gonna finally get a shot to be so it's entertaining regardless.
But I do think you'll see Rogers in this one.
Speaker 9 (10:47):
There's not a more intriguing game week one. That's my
first That would be my first question, like what would
be more you know, what matchup would be more intriguing
than that, because it could be the most intriguing game
really literally by default, because neither one of these guys
have won anything in the last year or so to
(11:09):
It depends.
Speaker 11 (11:10):
It depends how you define that, right, Like do you
define like divisional matchups as entertaining, because you've got a
lot of that, right. We've got Dallas Eagles.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
To intriguing, that's more intrigued.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You've got Chiefs Chargers, which should be a good game.
Speaker 9 (11:24):
That's pretty intriguing because I mean, I want to see
how much better I feel like this is the year
a horrorball team, a horrorball led team starts to take
that significant jump. This is third year, right, third second,
second year, second year, second Yeah, well maybe third year,
(11:44):
third year is like the significant jump.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
But Ravens Bills, which is awesome, that's got Packers, Lions awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
At four o'clock.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
You've got Vikings Bears, we Monday Night Jonas.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
That's interesting. That's not that's not as interesting. That one's
Giants Commandos.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That's a good one.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
That one's interesting because I think that there's the Giants.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
There's a lot of great interesting games I think, I think.
Speaker 9 (12:10):
I mean to be honest with you, I think mostly
all of those games sound better than than the Steelers
and the Jets because outside of it being Aaron Rodgers
and Justin Fields, there's no relation between those teams.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Like nobody's going to be like, you know.
Speaker 9 (12:28):
All lathered up like yeah we got the Jets, or well, yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
We got the Steelers, just like it.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
You know, there's no real relativity connective tissue there. I
don't think Jets fans are going to be like, yeah, Justin,
let's get the Steelers and and and Pittsburgh fans are
going to be like, yeah, Aaron, let's get let's get
New York, like let's let's not Like, I don't I
don't see that being like an overarching feeling of excitement
(12:53):
going into the game.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
The only other game in that window that I would
say has got some interesting elements and storylines too. It
is Raiders at Patriots because you do have the well
you've got you know, Josh McDaniels is now the OC
again in New England. He's facing his former team, the
Tom Brady element, the New England Vegas connection.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
There, there's that.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
But other than that, other than that, but Rogers going
back to play the Jets in Week one, by far
and away of that window is the best game of
the bunch those.
Speaker 9 (13:26):
Games that you just that Q just mentioned or you
just mentioned. Yeah, nah, I don't. I can't go with
you on that, rat sir, can't do it.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I think that.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
I think there's an he's saying in the one o'clock window,
you are here right right right, That's what I'm saying.
What I mean, if if you're if the names you
just read off, what are the other games in the
one o'clock window?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
I thought that's what you just read.
Speaker 11 (13:50):
Dolphins, that's Dolphins, Cardinals, Jaguars, Cardinals, Saints, No, Buccaneers, Falcons,
and then Giants Commanders.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Raiders Patriots, who was the Browns Bengals Browns.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
That's a good one. And then Raiders Patriots no, no, Jonah,
that's an.
Speaker 11 (14:13):
Interesting one though. You got Rabel, Josh right, Daniel versus
his old team.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
No, they got to show it. That's like those those
teams got to show something. They got to show you something, huh.
I mean show the people something. You know, I'm part
of the people. I'm I'm the voice of the people,
voice of reason. Just look at look at the things
that people say about me and us on social that
(14:38):
we're clearly together.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Wow, you know, look at yours, look.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
At your social you I just like I just look
at Jonas retweets it.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, that's very true. Jonas loves to retweet them.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Listen, they deserve, Like some of those jokes. Some of
those insults are funny, like jokes.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You're like, well wait, maybe they're big serious.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, like some of that some of that content is funny.
So if it's funny of it, it's gonna get retweeted.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Here.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
I just don't understand why they attack you every single week.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Bruh, every single week. I don't get it.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
I'm just glad anybody's listening, so I'll take that next time.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
That's probably the only three four people listening though. Yeah,
you know, as soon as we sign off, and I
knew that I was right, because I mean the listeners
said it like I left it on too long, like
they said it like, dang, I try to give you
a good, good audience to listen to you.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Are you guys still doing that show and.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
They don't want to listen to you? Bro?

Good morning, Happy Thursday.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
How you doing, Good morning, guys, How are we doing good? Co?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, So, anything stand out to you other than Mike
North of the NFL, the NFL VP who.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
No, definitely who's that?
Speaker 9 (17:16):
Who?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I look it up?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You do not look that up? But Mike North.
Speaker 10 (17:25):
Mike North saying that we're off to a flying start.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Guy, Mike North saying that, you know, listen, if we
knew Aaron Rodgers was going to be on the Steelers,
we would have put it in a primetime game. Based
on the other matchups in that window. It does feel
like maybe they might have had some sort of a
hunch that that's going to happen. As he goes to
the Jets to play his former team to open up
the air.
Speaker 10 (17:47):
Yeah, And I talked to another one of those scheduling
guys there, Annie Bows, who you know more or less,
said to me, you know, the Steelers are a big brand,
so it sort of protected them in a way where
I'm and it wasn't like, I mean, with all due respect,
it's not like you know, Aaron Rodgers going to the Jaguars,
where it's like, okay, like you know, we have to
(18:08):
make a real decision here. The Steelers are a draw
no matter what, and so they could put them in
enough windows where they know, you know, he'll get a
lot of exposure if he does if he isn't the team,
and because it's the Steelers, they'll be okay even if
he isn't. Now, I mean, like Annie did, can side
to me that they would have handled this a little
(18:29):
bit differently if they knew Aaron was on the team.
And so there's that part of it, and I do think,
you know, the piece of it where you know he's
playing the Jets in week one. I don't think that
was lost on anybody in the room. But there was
also some things they were working around for the Steelers.
The Steelers actually, so they're they're locked in on having
(18:52):
on going to Ireland in week four, and then they
had blocks in week one and week three also because
the Pirates are home and they share the parking lot
with the Pirates, so like they had to be away
in week one, and so when you start to kind
of put all the factors together, you can see where
they were sort of limited their options there. And you know,
(19:13):
putting the Jets Steelers together made sense because it's just
the field's playing against his former team. But I don't
think it would have been at one o'clock if they
knew for sure that Aaron Rodgers was going to be
on the roster.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
Hey, ab on the topic of Aaron Rodgers, not to
try to, you know, do your job for you, but
I've got some insight, and so that leads me to
think he's going to be signed with Pittsburgh at some
point in time here in the future.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
Yeah, Well, are you just saying at some point in time.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
Like you know, I feel like I feel like there's
a speculation he can retire, you know, maybe with the
same situation, maybe he'd look there.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I have some incenter info that it's going to be
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
I don't think it's going to be the Saints. I'm
with you. I mean I think I think I think
he does wind up with the Steelers. And and you always,
I mean one one thing about this, Brady, like the
way I tried to, you know, talk about it. And
I think it's important to kind of keep yourself some
wiggle room on this thing because because because until he's
under contract, like I think, anything can happen. You know,
(20:16):
I do think his personal situation, which he has referenced
now publicly, I I think that that is that's definitely
a factor here. And here's here's how is that. You know,
it would have made a lot of people feel better
if he had just signed a contract in the first
week April, right. The problem with that is if he
is dealing with a personal situation and he wasn't going
(20:38):
to be able to be there for a lot of
the spring, well then you know, what are you inviting
If you do sign him and then say, well, he's
going to be away for a while, Well, then every
time you have any sort of checkpoint in the spring,
whether it's the beginning of the off season program, the
beginning of OTAs, the beginning of any camp, there's going
to be just an absolute tidal wave of where's right,
where's Aaron? Why is there here? Is Aaron really committed
(21:01):
to the team? And if he's not under contract, you
don't have to deal with that, you know. Like so,
I think for for Aaron and the Steelers, it made
the most sense and always has made the most sense
to say, like, let's just wait until you're going to
be all the way in and then we'll do the contract. Now.
The risk for the Steelers, of course, here would be
(21:21):
that the guy changes his mind, and you know, I
think you always have to kind of like leave some
margin for air with that. But I do think that
there's a you know, a pretty good feeling and he's
gonna wind up signing the Steelers, like you said, at
some point. I'm not saying it's gonna be the next
twenty four hours, but I think that is the likelihood.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
Abe, I have some outside information that says Pickens is
going to the Cowboys. I really have this outside information.
I believe he will be a Dallas Cowboy, do you
think now? Taking a shot anyway, I thought it was
kind of funny. Actually he is going George Pickens is
(22:02):
going to Dallas to play for George Pickens is going
to Dallas to play for the Cowboys. What has the conversations,
if any, that you've heard now that the schedule releases out.
They've got a pretty pretty tough schedule. I mean, they
got the Lions, they got the Vikings, they got the
Chargers obviously to Commanders twice, obviously to Eagles twice. I mean,
(22:25):
what does this Does this create any more excitement? What's
the feeling with Dallas right now?
Speaker 10 (22:33):
You know, one thing I've learned about the Cowboys LeVar
over the years is that they're not in the same
category as everybody else. They are when it comes to
these sorts of things, scheduling and everything else. You can't
look at them the same way you look at anyone else.
They won seven to ten last year, and somehow they
got six prime time games in eight standalone games, and
(22:56):
they're playing on Thanksgiving as they always do. They're in
the cut spotlight on Ristmiths during the kickoff game. You know,
it's it's like Bill Barcell said, the like everybody else
is allowed to act and the Cowboys are on the
main stage. It's it's just I think, you know, there's
just an acceptance that they're different from everybody else. So
I don't know that the way that they were scheduled
(23:18):
out really has has anything to do with any sort
of acquisition they made me the off she now does
the pickings thing make them a little bit more appealing
because there a little bit more intrigue around them. Sure,
you know, they've got a new head coach. You know,
now they've got a new receiver. They're gonna have Dak
Prescott coming back. There's gonna be pressure on Dak. Of
(23:39):
course he gets hurt in the or these signs of
sixty million dollars contract, and so yeah, I mean there's
certainly storylines that intrigue around the Cowboys, but there always is,
you know, It's just it is what that team is.
It is what that team's always been, and it is
that that team will continue to be until they start
playing games again.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Get them on act at Albert Breers, Senior NFL reporter,
lead content strategist at the MMQB, joining us here on
Fox Sports Radio. So you just posted an article about
an hour ago, and you talked with the people that
put together the schedule in the NFL and just sort
of how they come to the decisions that they made.
What was the most interesting aspect of their process that
(24:22):
you found to you this year as opposed to previous seasons.
Speaker 10 (24:28):
I think the big thing. One thing I thought was
really interesting was kind of how they looked at the
schedule and there's the automatic like stuff that they know
right like they that they know before the previous season
even ends. And one thing that stuck out was kind
of how the division matchups were going to be really
attractive in that the NFC East, which is the big brand,
(24:49):
was going to play the NFC North, and the NFC
North obviously is very very deep, and then the NFC
North was going to play the AFC North, which is
similarly deep. So that was going to create, I think,
a deeper, richer schedule than than than they usually have.
And they went back to last year and they felt
like last year was so two years ago. They rolled
(25:10):
the dice in the Lions and putting the Lions the
kickoff game, and the idea there was like we're gonna
sort of be ahead on this, and it worked. The
Lions wound up the filling in the potential that a
lot of people thought they had, you know, went to
the NFC title game that year and all of that.
Last year they went the other way and did you know,
(25:30):
a championship game rematch between the Ravens and the Chiefs,
And you know, I think what they found was just
putting a big game, like amplifying a big window with
a big game really really worked. And so you know,
going into this year, I think they with a deeper
(25:50):
recher schedule, they felt like, let's just you know, let's
just take a commitment. We're gonna go big all over
the place wherever we can, and let's not overcome implicate this,
and let's not get cute, and let's just put the
big brands and the big windows. And I think that
that's reflected in the kickoff window where they're they're putting
Eagles Cowboys, where I think, you know, the logic a
(26:12):
lot of other years would have been like let's save
that one. That thing will rate no matter what. They're
putting that big game in that big window. And I
think it's reflected on Thanksgiving too, like the I can't
remember the last time the Cowboys had an opponent like
the Chiefs coming in, you know, but Cowboys Chiefs now
looks like a massive game from television standpoint Anyways, we'll
see how good the Cowboys wind up being. But we're
(26:33):
a television standpoint. That's a massive, massive draw right there
on Thanksgiving Day. So that to me was the most
interesting thing. Is like a lot of times you look
at it to say, Okay, the kickoff window, the Thanksgiving
late afternoon Dallas game, Like those games are going to
rate no matter what, Like we could put whoever we
want in that window and it's not going to matter.
Like now they kind of it's almost a different courts
(26:54):
on it a little bit, you know what, Like now
we're going to try to put huge games and huge windows,
and let's do what happens.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Ab who got shafted this year with their schedule? Like
who's the one schedule? Look at me and go, oh,
probably would have the season would have won a different direction.
Maybe if they didn't have the schedule they've got.
Speaker 10 (27:14):
Oh, Brady Quinton, you're very Cleveland Brown, You're very own
Cleveland Brown.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
They should have a primetime game or maybe.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
Yeah, I mean, well the zero primetime games is kind
of a slop in the space. But I mean, like,
look at this, right, So they play the Bengals at Ravens,
Packers at Lions, the Vikings in London, and then they're
at the Steelers coming back the next week like that
could and as this isn't a shot the Cleveland at
(27:43):
the team, the team has a chance to be pretty decent,
but are they gonna be favored in any of those games?
Probably not? Right?
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (27:53):
Yeah, So I mean like that's like, I mean, if
you're talking on in six, like what does that look
like then, you know, like with the quarterback situation being
what it is and everything else, I mean, it's just
like it's hard not to look at that and say
that is a really tough draw for a team that's
going to have a lot going on, it's still going
(28:13):
to have to figure out a lot very early.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
In the year.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
That was one that that was one that sorry sorry,
that might be why their win totals listed at four
and a half on DraftKings.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
It could be.
Speaker 10 (28:26):
Yeah, I mean, I but I look at it like
that's like one where it's like, man like that stuff.
I think the Cowboys wouldn't be one if you look
at that and say so like last year, right, Like
so the Jets last year they got screwed up the
top where it was like they had to go to
San Francisco on Monday night, then they had to play
another road game the following time, they had Tennessee, and
(28:46):
then they had to come back and play their home
opener on Thursday against the Patriot.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So that was because Rogers did get vaccinated.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Is what I heard, right, But that I think those
guys would tell. And then they went to London two
weeks after that, Like I think those guys would tell you,
guys who went through that, that completely set their season
off the rails. So like this year, they only did
that three games and ten days sing to one team
where it was Monday, Sunday, Thursday. But that was the Cowboys.
(29:16):
And if there's one owner who's not going to complain
about being put in those sorts of windows, who's it
going to be? It was Jerry Jones, right, So like
the Cowboys. You can look at their schedule and you
can find some of those things, but I also think
Jerry invites those things. They play on Thursday four times, guys.
Now one of them is a kickoff, granted, but it
(29:37):
is sort of interesting, like seeing like where the Cowboys
are are playing that funky two Monday, four Thursday, fourth
Thursday schedule and if it was anybody else, you'd be saying, like, man,
they got a lot to complain about. But you know
their owner is somebody who's never going to complain about
being put in those windows because he wants, you know,
them on those sorts of stages.
Speaker 9 (29:59):
Maybe have you in any word any discussion that's come
out of the rookie camp in Cleveland. Obviously it's a
topic of discussion amongst people in football as to what
they're going to do. And I mean, do you have
an idea what they're going to do at the quarterbacks position?
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Two to that point?
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Sure, I think. I mean, I would say, LeVar, it's
just there's a long way to go, you know. I
think that's the main thing that I've gotten coming back
from those people, And it's just, you know, I don't know.
I you know, I think the challenge now for Kevin
Soosanski and Tommy Reese and all the people there is
going to be the narrow the competition at least a
(30:43):
little bit over the course of the next six weeks,
like in the rookie camp as the start of that.
But I don't know how you can go in the
summer with four guys like on even playing field at
the quarterback position while you're trying to build a team
that's ready to go Week one. I think it's really
difficult to do that, you know, so with all the
rules being what they are now and everything else, so
(31:06):
you know, I will say the one thing that I
have heard on Dylan Gabriel is he was just absolutely
outstanding during the pre draft process.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Right.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
You might have dealt with him a little bit, right,
like when you call it with your college stuff, a parent.
Speaker 11 (31:20):
Supermature high football IQ like does says all the right things.
Speaker 10 (31:24):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, like from what I heard, just
checked every single box, Like it was awesome during the
pre draft process, which is part of why you know
he goes in the third round, even though he's got
something of a limited you know, physical skill set. You know,
so there's that. And then I think with Shador it
was kind of like the grade got the point for
some of the guys in that building where it was
(31:46):
like we we we sort of have to take a
swing here. The problem that creates the course is now
you've got four quarterbacks battling it out.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
Now.
Speaker 10 (31:53):
I have heard some people say like and and this
has come up a few times, Well, Joe Flacco doesn't
need the rest. But I don't know that Joe Flacco
is going to be so open to the idea of
taking a step back if it's going to give the
other guys in the competition at advantage, you know, in
other words, like if you're Joe Blacco, or are you
going to sit there and say, oh, yeah, no big deal.
You get the work with the receivers, you get the
work with the offense, you get the work with a
(32:15):
new coordinator. I'll just sit here and I'll buy my time. Like,
I don't know that Joe would sign off on that
either when he's trying to win the starting job, you know.
So it's a complicated situation, certainly a challenging one for
Kevin and for you know, a first year coordinator there,
and Tommy Reeves too.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Aby we got thirty seconds. I'm just curious what's the
timeline on any either extension or trade for Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
I don't know that there is one. It's a really
unpredictable situation, but I don't think there's any hometown discount calling. Obviously,
this thing is in a great spot right now, and
there are enough pass rushers who are making, you know,
in the mid thirties, Max Crosby and d'anil Hunter, I
think would be two pretty good comps there where you
look at it and you say the Bengals are gonna
(33:03):
have to bite the ball and pay him in that
neighborhood or else. This is gonna this is gonna last
a while.
Speaker 4 (33:10):

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Oh man?
Speaker 8 (35:02):
We stopped Hotel California right before I kicked in fitting though,
because we do have some California stories.
Speaker 6 (35:07):
To kick it off.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
In and Out no more artificial dyes in their lemonade
and strawberries, and now introducing real sugar in their ketchup.
I think this is all in an attempt to be
a little healthier for one of the more healthy fast
food chains out there.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
In and Out's healthy.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I have no problems with In and Out regardless.
Speaker 9 (35:28):
They're doing like those tomato Instead of using buns, you
use tomatoes as like the bun. Now, I think like
for like, I guess people who don't want to eat
I guess all the cars.
Speaker 8 (35:40):
I haven't heard of that one. But there's the protein wrap,
which is always you know, let us wrap.
Speaker 7 (35:45):
And the Flying dutch Man is the grilled onions as
the bun.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Maybe maybe somebody did it to
the burger.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
I don't know, but I saw tomato as like to
tomato as basically the buns.
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Pretty aggressive, Yeah, very water, pretty good actually.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
I mean anyway, it's not healthy. So if it's not healthy,
just wear it and say, no, what is what it is?
You want to eat us or you don't want to
eat us?
Speaker 6 (36:17):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
There's always there's always a line out the drive through.
It's not like they're hurting for business. Just keep doing
what you're doing.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Yeah, they call it the tomato rap. There you go.
Speaker 8 (36:27):
I've the line is always notoriously long. I've been coming
back with food in my car from another location. But
if I see that it's a short line at an
in and out, I'll dip in.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
And fit really yeah, even after you already got food.
Speaker 8 (36:43):
Yeah, I'll just say, well, I'll save that for later,
I'll get I'll eat the in and out now or
vice versa.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
That's definitely not healthy.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
No, definitely not.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
You call it healthy because you're just compared it to
like other fast food like McDonald's.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
You know, it's actually considered one of the more healthy
fast foods. It might be surprising to you. Taco Bell
no way, yeah, out of fast food chain. Well, I
mean think about it.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
You're not eating a bunch of buns and uh stuff
like that. It's mostly just the ground beef.
Speaker 9 (37:12):
Is it ground beef or chicken whatever, whatever, it's dog food.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 10 (37:18):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I mean, how do you define fast food?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Is does Chick fil a? Chipotle does that falling in
the category.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
It does on most people's categories of fast food?
Speaker 5 (37:30):
It does.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
If it has a drive through, it's considered fast food.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Do Chapole have drive throughs now?
Speaker 7 (37:36):
Chipotle?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Nothing I know of?
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Actually, Chipotle, I'm never the.
Speaker 11 (37:40):
Research I'm doing says Chick fil A, Subway, Panera, Bread, Chipotle,
all healthier options than your taco bell.
Speaker 8 (37:46):
But yeah, well i'll take I'll take. I'll take Chipotle
and Subway out of it. I can't imagine some way
is that healthy?
Speaker 9 (37:56):
Really?
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Why you laugh before you say what is?
Speaker 7 (38:00):
Because they change change body because I'm trying to make
my argument.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Oh okay, I don't know that it was a good Okay,
all right?
Speaker 8 (38:09):
What h Tonight is the second of four show Hey
Otani Bubblehead Nights. It's the first of a fifty to
fifty bubblehead every week.
Speaker 10 (38:19):
I know.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, I feel like they always have a show.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
People can't get enough of them, Like they can't get
enough and there's going to be a line at the
stadium starting at about noon, and people show up there.
The gates don't even open until I think three or
four maybe, and people camp out in the parking lot
and they eat in their car and wait for the
line to open up so.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
They can get in there and get a bobblehead.
Speaker 7 (38:44):
I bet they're there right now.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
It's wild. It's a toy. You can't even play with it.
It just sits there and shakes its head.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
This one has him sliding into base.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Okay, all right, But then they'll sell them on eBay
for two hundred bucks. They'll go right up on eBay
after they get them for two hundred bucks. Is is
there a limit? Is it the first forty thousand?
Speaker 6 (39:09):
Generally?
Speaker 8 (39:09):
Last time it was everybody got ba I believe this
one is forty thousand. Uh, guys, I cured Lorena's hiccups.
I know everyone's got a cure out there for you.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Did yep?
Speaker 5 (39:21):
What do you mean? I mean if you break win,
then you can't breathe and you can't have a hiccup.
Speaker 10 (39:26):
You know.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Yeah that's uh. Jonah says, his is his technique is
just hold your breath.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I hold your breath. Yeah, it's not that hard.
Speaker 9 (39:33):
If you break when then you're going to hold your breath.
If you're going to hold your breath, and then that's
going to defeat the hiccup.
Speaker 7 (39:39):
That's a good that's a good call.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
How'd you do it?
Speaker 10 (39:41):
Lee?
Speaker 6 (39:41):
What was your So?
Speaker 8 (39:42):
My my trick is that a lot of people have
techniques that are similar to this. Is you put a
paper towel over a glass of water and you siphon
the water through it. It's something to do with hell,
you're messing with your throat something like that.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
Yeah about how you Yeah, but it worked, So there
you go.
Speaker 6 (39:58):
So just waterboard yourself.
Speaker 9 (39:59):
Yeah wa, he's okay, jeez, all right, Well another amazing
Lee's leftover saved my life.
