Yeah, they suit that very often.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
They've not themselves all right, So so that being said,
we do have ourselves. The potential returns, the potential return
of an all timer.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You got you got to.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Speak, uh, return of an all time great. Nick Saban
who walked away from Alabama. I mean I would say
still with you know, plenty left in the tank, but decided, Yeah,
this whole ni L stuff and everything else that's going
on in that world, I'm out. I'm gonna go ahead
(03:46):
and get into the media. And he's been fantastic, you know,
even had a nice little fun back and forth with
Shane Gillis last year, which a lot of people talked about.
But apparently there's been some speculation maybe he would consider
turning to coaching. Greg McElroy was talking with Paul fine
Bomb yesterday on the McElroy and Kublick in the Morning
Show and had this.
Speaker 8 (04:08):
To say, very much in the know person that I
have a lot of respect for and have just spent
a lot of time around and just really really admire.
They seem to think Nick Saban's not done coaching, but
he's pretty adamant that he thinks Nick Saban will be
coaching again.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Do you buy that?
Speaker 6 (04:27):
No, Well that's what I said.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
All right, So that is a Paul fine Bomb talking
with Greg McElroy about the potential return of Nick Saban.
I mean, why would he Honestly, at this point.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I'll say this much, Bill Belichick taking the North Carolina job,
I mean everything's open. That's still to me, like him
not finding another place in the NFL and coaching at
North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It just blows my mind when I think.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
About how we'll look back on this, how how history
will be will be written about the end of Bill
Belichick's time coaching football. That an NFL franchise didn't want
to sign up for a guy who has been that successful,
It's crazy so if that can take place, there's no
(05:20):
doubt in my mind that I think Nick Saban, who
was frustrated it seemed like with the current state of
college football, might say, well, college football is evolving into
this professional model.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Well, the NFL is already there.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
And I don't know about you guys, but it feels
like at times every single offseason we go through this
hiring cycle and there's not a ton of candidates that
you're really wild by. I mean, Ben Johnson was the
bell of the ball, you know, Rabel who else were
you like looking at it saying, I mean Bill Belichick
(05:54):
was like, would have been those other guys we would
have thought would have been hired?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I mean maybe I mean red.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Treads half the time. So Liam Cohen.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Liam Cohen, I guess was the other one, great offensive mine,
and we'll see how that turns out. But I look
at it and say, like, if you were a NFL franchise,
would she kicked the tires in this guy? And do
you know how many guys like went down to Alabama
to reinvent themselves. Brian Dables, head coach the New York Giants,
He went down to become a play caller, learned a lot,
(06:26):
grew a lot, and ended up finding his way back
up in the NFL. And the rest now is kind
of history, but very similar to Bill Belichick or even
Sean McVay. How coaches go there. It kind of revamp, reinvent,
figure some things out, and they come out shinier and
better on the other side. That's what Nick Saban was
too at the college football level, and it happened with
(06:48):
some guys who went onto the NFL. So why not
Why couldn't Nick Saban w He's got experienced in the
NFL probably would have went differently had they got a
different medical opinion on Drew Brees shoulder and who knows
how we're talking about the Dolphins now slash Nick Saban,
his tenure in the NFL or Alabama for that matter.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I mean, when you get time off, you get an
opportunity to think about do you want to be at home?
You know what the landscape looks, what it looks like
on each level. I mean, there's there's probably been moments
where Nick Saban misses coaching the game, misses the meetings
(07:25):
with the coaches, misses the locker room with the players,
misses the practice field, he did scratch the itch to
go to the pros. He did go back to college.
He is one of the most successful coaches of all time.
I would be curious does he look at what Bill
Belichick did by going into the college level their friends.
(07:48):
I'm sure they have dialogue, you know, in terms of
what he's planning on doing. I wouldn't be shocked if
Bill Belichick isn't getting a ton of information and notes
from Saban as it applied to how he had success
at the college level. I would say the biggest to me,
(08:11):
the biggest thing for Nick Saban is he has a
he has a very distinctive way of coaching, and he
has a very distinctive approach.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't know if it's not.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Obsolete in college and and then at the pro level.
I don't know that you can coach the way that
Nick Saban coaches. It wasn't a it wasn't a bust
of an opportunity for him at at the Miami Dolphins,
but it certainly wasn't it wasn't great. I mean, you know,
(08:44):
you did all right, went right back to college. I
just don't know that that the way Nick Saban coaches
would be conducive to him being able to keep players.
You know, how did how do you handle the poor
It's not just going to be the money. It's going
to be how these players feel about the people that
(09:04):
are coaching them. I just think his standards are so high,
and this is a set to me. This is a
very very sad thing to have to say. I think
his standards and the way he holds his guys to
that standard is so high. I don't know that in
this in this climate, in this nil era, that he
(09:26):
would be able to have that type of success. I
think guys would transfer out and look for easier, easier
situations than what they would have would.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Nick Saban, I think if he were to come back,
I think would be more I think he'd be more
interested in the NFL. And look, I mean, if you
know we're going to kick around some potential landing spots.
I mean Brady mentioned the quarterback situation didn't really work
out in Miami the first time around. If something happens
to us there, he coached him in college, maybe that
(09:58):
would be of interest. Maybe feels like that would have
been a better result had he had somebody he know,
he knew and trusted back when he was coaching the
Dolphins because they LeVar made the point they weren't They
weren't bad. It's not like they were, you know, he
was a disaster as a coach. He just had a
better opportunity, wanted to go back to Alabama or go
back to college, and took over the Alabama gig. But
(10:18):
who knows, Maybe he looks at the Dolphins after this year,
if they move on from Mike McDaniel, and all of
a sudden, he gets to coach too again. Maybe that's
a possibility. I just can't imagine he would go back
to college, giving up what he had at Alabama just
to go back a couple of years later. I just
don't know how he would get a better situation than
what he had when he walked away from it.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I don't think there's any reason for him to come
back if he left based off of how he felt like.
Going to the pros is, Like, I don't know, man,
I think pros is a different animal than coaching college.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, I mean, it feels like it's getting close to
the same now with the way things things are happening
in college, because I think there's a lot of things
that coaches have to deal with the the college level now,
whether it's in regards to NIL or even just the
uneven landscape. I mean, hell, we can't even figure out
an expanded playoff format. So maybe he doesn't want to
deal with that. Maybe you'd rather go to the NFL,
which has a lot more stability in that sense. But
(11:14):
can I just explain my disappointment in LaVar this morning. Usually,
usually when we talk about a guy getting back into
coaching or a player getting into coaching, usually you go
with a standard response for that, and you did not
do that this morning, and I'm very disappointed.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
What would my standard response be, He don't want to
be at home, You don't want to let me tell
you something.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
About mixt Hey, hold on, hold on. He spent some
time away. He was like, hey, you heard me say though,
but you heard it.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
So there's like that that there's that intersection where you
can go on to the highway or you keep going
right you're on the local roads, or you know, you
take a difference at that intersection where I said, you
get a chance to be at home and you decide
if you want to be at home. I don't know
if you've guys ever been around Nick Nick Saban and
his wife, But I happen to have the pleasure of
(12:15):
being recruited by him to go play for the Dolphins
when when I was a free agent and I spent
two days with him and his wife. We went on
dinners and stuff like that. Dude really loves his wife,
man like, he is all the way into his wife call.
I believe he calls her mama and she calls him papa.
(12:37):
I believe that's the lingo they use. So it's not
Nick Saban's not leaving for the same reason. Some of
these these other coaches be looking out there like why
am I here? Why did I even marry you? Like
these dudes be looking at their chicks. Oh yeah, keep
(12:58):
it a buck. I don't think that one exists here,
not not for saving. I think he really enjoys being around,
you know, his person, which is really good. But some
of these dudes, they I gotta get the hell away
from her. I gotta get away from her. I gotta
get away from these ugly ass kids we made like,
I gotta get away. I gotta get away, and I
(13:20):
gotta go do something with myself. So I'm gonna go
back and I'm a coach, and I'm gonna get the
attention I want to get, and I'm gonna feel my
ego feet, my ego, you know, being a coach, and
I don't have to be at home. And I can
say I don't have to be at home. I don't
know that's that's what some coaches do though.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
So when you hear coaches talk about these like eighteen
hour work days, that's just avoiding home, right, That's just
they just don't want to be home because you can't,
like and I think Bruce arians has made this point,
like you should be able to get everything you need
to be get done as a coach in the amount
of time that you have, Like you don't you don't
need to be sleeping in the office. You don't need
(13:57):
to be missing all these events.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
So really don't.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I mean, I just wonder whatever there's something to that
that maybe they're just hanging out.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I'm not trying to be funny. Why do you think
I'm trying to think I'm trying to be funny. That's
not a bit, that's the truth.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I just didn't know that. You know, coaches in the
NFL thought their kids were ugly, so That's that's why
I was I didn't I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I mean, their job is to evaluate, evaluate, and to discriminate.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Why wouldn't they know their kids? Their kid is ugly, ugly.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Ass kids, damn real quick.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
If he comes back, let's put a cap on this.
NFL or college, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
You think I would be college?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, I think I think he's still I think his
superpower is dealing with college college aged that demo. I
think he's I think he's good there. What I said,
them older, them older dudes and in the pros, I
think it's harder. It's harder to get them in the
(15:02):
space that Nick Saban would want to get him into.
I think, just the way his style of coaching is,
I think it would be a little bit more. It
would be a lot more difficult for him to navigate it.
And why would he need to even try to do it.
I think it would be more feasible to think that
he would do it at the college level and try
(15:23):
to figure out who could take on the weight of
what he would have to you know, what they have
to deal with with agents and nil and stuff like that.
I don't think he want to have anything to do
with that.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
I just don't He had such a good, solid gig
going at Alabama, he could have coached there for as
long as he wanted, and he didn't want that anymore.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I know, man, I don't know he got out of
the way because, you know, understanding what understanding what it's
going to look like is one thing. If you can
approach something and you know what it's going to look like,
you have a chance to have success. I don't think
Nick Saban knew or knows still maybe even now, what
(16:07):
college is going to look like in this nil era,
and I think he felt like, let me get the
hell out of the way, because I don't want that
to be a part of what I have going on.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
So my whole thing is is if he's looking at
and saying, you know what, maybe if I do get
me a GM or a person that can handle this
aspect of it, maybe if I can have this under
I don't know. I would think that that would be
the more feasible of the two. But I don't think
he'd even want to risk that after the career he's had.
I don't even think he'd want to come back to
do that to be honest, seventy three years old, so
(16:44):
you know, I don't think he gets the by the way,
he's a great analyst. Him and Belati is incredible.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, he's incredible. Yeah, they both do a good job.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
So it is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe

what's happening?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, yeah, Pete, it's.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
A big day. Brady's back from this four week, four
I mean four months sabbatical. How was it four months break?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
About four months? Yeah, yeah, about four months. I wish
I could bring you along with me, but that wasn't
the case. You know, you'd be crying like our six
month old baby as well.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
You must have played a lot of golf in those days, Brady.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Actually, I'm trying to get our son to sleep through
the night, so that's still been a challenge.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
But no, it's been good.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's been good, Pete.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
So what is the army now?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Seven total?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
In our family, our media family is seven. Yes, it's
it's very hard to get a dinner reservation nowadays.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
It's amazing. What a machine you are. I'm so proud
of you. I really am. I'm so proud of you
as somebody who doesn't have children. I just I'm so
proud of you. The fact that you just keep going
and going and going and going. It's amazing a.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Lot of coming and going.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Pete, Hey, I do all I do think about you
often though. I think about you every time I'm traveling.
And I get that look from like an older couple
where they're looking at us, just like what is wrong
with them? Like why in God's.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Name would you keep doing this to yourselves.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
While our kids are just throwing stuff, you know, crying, fighting,
you know, someone slapping each other's It's a whole it's
a whole situation. I always thinking to myself, what would
Pete Prisco say?
Speaker 9 (19:32):
You know what? I always say, you don't. I always
say to myself, bring grandma to the kids, don't bring
the kids to grandma. It's really to the problem.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Hey, try telling that to my Italian in laws in Boston. Okay,
see how that goes?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
All right?
Speaker 9 (19:49):
I mean, look, I I know when people travel with
kids it's tough to do, but it's more irritating when
it's when they're not yours. And and I know everybody says,
but that's true. I remember I worked with a guy
and he was an only child growing up, and every
time he'd get on a plane and there were like
kids going off, it would just so frustrate him to
(20:10):
the point where he was like to look at his
head was going to explode. And then he had kids.
It didn't bother him at all.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Right, it was you? Was that you? Was that you?
That was the kid?
Speaker 9 (20:20):
No, it still bothers me. I don't have any kids.
Oh it bothers me. I look, but I understand it.
I get it, I understand it. But still the ultimate
solution is bring granny to the kids. Don't bring the
kids to granny. It's really easy. I mean, think about that.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
That's another T shirt. I think about it all the time.
It's easier said than done. When you've got a mother
in law who's a tier lives on the East Coast.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Hey, Pete, I got a question for you. The decision
by the New York Jets to get the deal done
for Garrett Wilson now and this early wise one or
would you have waited a little bit to see how
things play out with Justin Fields.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
No, I would have done it, and it has nothing
to do with Justin Fields. It just has to do
with the fact that the kids are really special receiver A.
But B. The sooner you luck these guys up, the
cheaper it's going to be for you. You know, we
see those situations where the money, you know, if you're
one of the elite players in the league, the money
just keeps going up and up and up, and so
if you can get ahead of it a little bit,
(21:22):
it saves you a little bit of money. And look,
you can go back to the Cowboys right now with
Michael Parsons. I mean, you know that money keeps going
up at large part because they waited, and when you wait,
it comes back and ultimately gonna end up paying more.
So I get it. I understand it, and I don't
think it really has anything to do with Justin Field.
I think Justin Field is in there this year. If
he plays well and shows that he can be the
(21:43):
long term answer, then okay. If he doesn't, then they're
going to go into that draft next year, which is
loaded with quarterbacks. And then we've seen that already start
to play out with guys. You know, the Big twelve
Media Days was last week. Yes, there's quarterbacks all over
the place, you go back in and you find yourself
a quarterback. So I don't think it has anything to
do with Justin Fields.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
What gives you the confidence that if Aaron Rodgers couldn't
make it work with this offense, that Justin Fields can
come in and do so what would be the wait
and see approach? Is it the coaching change altogether, or
is it like what would your estimation be that it
could be any different under Justin Fields versus Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
Well, well, there's different players. I mean, you can do
some things with Justin Fields that you can't do with
Aaron Rodgers. And the Aaron Rodgers we saw for the
first eight nine games last year wasn't Aaron Rodgers either.
I mean he was impacted by the injury. He couldn't
move around like he used to. But as the season
more on, Aaron Rodgers played better football. You go down
to the second half of the season, he played much
(22:46):
better football and the offense actually did show signs of life.
So I think you have to do things differently, and
you have to get some special packages for Justin Fields.
He could move around. I'm not saying he's going to
go in there and but they have to find out
if he can, and if he can't, then what the
Jets are going to do is go back in next
year and find themselves a quarterback because it's a loaded
quarterback draft next year and there's going to be a
(23:07):
lot of good ones in the draft. So find out
if he can do it. If he can't, then you're
going to be drafted high or you know, not high,
but you could be drafted relatively high next year, and
you find yourself a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
You don't want to switch gears a little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
We were just talking about the subject of Nick Saving
potentially coming back and coaching, and I know he's on
the college ranks, but he did spend a short amount
of time with the Dolphins. You're obviously very in tune
with all of that tenure how that went. I tend
to think if he does come back and coach, it
probably would be at the NFL level, since the college
level he was frustrated by with where they're at anyway,
(23:40):
And I kind of know your stance all this, but
I feel like Saban could be different. And LeVar pointed out,
like they weren't that bad when he was with the Dolphins,
and if Drew Brees is the quarterback and not Culpepper.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I mean, maybe it turns out different.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Yeah, so if they had Drew Brees, it would have
been definitely different. But again, I think Nick Saban is
a great coach and I think he could be a
great coach in the NFL. If you're a great coach
in college, you'd be a great coach in the NFL.
Doesn't always translate that way. My thing is is, I
think he's evolved to the point where, yeah, he'd be
disciplined still, but I don't think he'd be the same
type of disciplinarian because you can't be the rules have changed,
(24:15):
you know, there's so much limited you can't put the
pads on as much, and so you have to change
it at that. But he could do it. He's a
brilliant guy. He's a great coach. If he wanted to
come back, he'd be at the top of any list,
and I think he'd be a great hire in the NFL.
But again, you know that came out. I guess what
McElroy started that or something put that out there that
he's hearing some stuff and then you hear from other
(24:36):
you know, the guy saying the same stuff. They know
he's content where he is in life. And you know,
you guys know this. I mean, what does his wife want?
Is his wife want him out of the house or
does his wife want him around? I mean, because that's
ultimately what the decision he comes down to, right, I.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Mean that you want and the decision is his as well.
It has to be both of them, right, like does
she want him to and does he want to be there?
That's and that's a great point. That's your best point
that you've made on all these calls that you've ever
gotten on with.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Us, and usually they're on the opposite side of whatever.
Some of that of your mouth before that tells you,
I mean, if Lebar said something up, usually on the
opposite side of it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
True.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Yeah, that's very true. I do not want to be
on the same side as your opinions.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
You have to me.
Speaker 9 (25:30):
You're entitled to your wrong opinions.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
H Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
You get him on ex at Prisco CBS. By the way, Pete,
I noticed something that you tweeted out a few days
ago talking about the Browns being another team that's not
going to let the elements impact them when it comes
to building a stadium and designing a stadium. The exact
tweet was the following, good to see another city getting
(25:56):
rid of the elements impacting football and making it more
comfortable for the fans. So you just want domes or
sunshine throughout the entire league.
Speaker 9 (26:05):
That's it, Thank you exactly. That's exactly the way I
want to play it. You know, why do I want
to see miserable elements change a game and make it
into something that's a survival that's not football. It becomes
a survival ball that's not football. It becomes a survival test.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
That is football. Sir, this is such a bad take
on yours.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Here's the thing that's play taking.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Why does everybody always say Here's the other flip side
of that is everybody always goes, oh, you're soft, lucky,
soft pete.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Look at your history.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You live. You lived in Florida your entire life. You
went to school in Arizona State where it was warm
to All you've done is lived in warm weather places
because you're soft.
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Let me ask you this, would you rather as football players,
you both play in the league, would you rather play
a game in ninety five degree temperatures with one hundred
percent humidity, or with thirty five or thirty and wind
Chille thirty fifteen. The other reason, I now, am I then.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
What it's not?
Speaker 9 (27:10):
It's not the heat humidity? How am I thought for you?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Pete? Pete, here's the difference between you and me.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You asked me for my preference, and I said, I'd
rather play in the cold.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Here's the difference between you and me.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I'd do both. I'd play in either. You're over there saying, oh, Nope,
too cold, gonna sit inside, not gonna. I'm not gonna
do this one. I'm not gonna not gonna be a
part of this one.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
I mean, look, if I had to, if I was
being paid by the team to play, I play in
anything for me anywhere I go play. But I prefer
to play in the heat. I like the heat. And
I think here's the other part of the element. Pete.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
We know you're the bubble you like, Pete, You're the
bubble boy.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
You just want to be locked up in a bubble story.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
That's what you are. You're what I'm on Seinfeld episode.
You're a You're bubble boy. You just want to be
locked up in a safe environment where it's you know, it's.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh, you can't get too cold or the wind.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Yeah, boy, at least when.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
You're playing in the heat, you can throw a pass.
And when you play in the wind that's flowing thirty
five miles an hour and it's twelve degrees out, you
can't be yes football.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You can you can throw that thing. You gotta be
able to spin it, though. Man, you're gonna get used to.
Speaker 9 (28:14):
It's a survival test. It's miserable. It's miserable for the fans. Hey,
let me spend Let me spend one thousand dollars today
to go sit in twelve degree weather, bundle up and
have wind chill factor making my face feel like it's
a brick. Yeah, that sounds like you know what.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You know what's sad about this is your childhood hero,
Danny Marino. He never had a problem throwing the ball
at pitt did he? And I'll say this much Aaron Rodgers,
who you also love, He never had an issue throwing
it in Green Bay, did he? And that cold that
tungsra up there?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Take that?
Speaker 9 (28:41):
Talking about two of the greatest, two of the greatest,
who ever.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Take that.
Speaker 9 (28:48):
Let me tell you this, if Dan Marino hit that
bubble boy, if he had ended up in Pittsburgh playing
quarterback for the Steelers rather than playing in the conditions
in South Florida in Miami, he would have been highly quarterbacks.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Oh yeah, he has Super Bowls, he had studs.
Speaker 9 (29:02):
He would have been different. It would have been different.
Go look at it. By the way, they weren't as
great as you think they were.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
Well that there were some other stuff going on of pit.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
By the way, Hey, Bill Belichick would be the first
to tell you to you know, quarterbacks offenses love throwing
in bad weather because the defensive players always reactive. LaVar
will tell you, like, it's harder footing, it's harder from
the planets sticks.
Speaker 9 (29:29):
So like the opportunity in that, Brady, I agree with
you one hundred percent. If there's a little bit of
snow on the ground and the traction is are great,
that favors the offense. If there's a lot of snow
and it's windy and miserable, that favors the defense and
it's miserable, and and so that's the difference. Why not
play inside.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Were you that might necessarily true, Pete, that is not
necessarily true. It actually favors the offense if the if
there's snow on the ground because those offensive alignments, the
offensive lineman clearly has an advantage.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
For anybody because the Bible. Would you rather watch let
me ask you this. Would you rather watch the Lions
play where they play and be able to play football
that way? Or would you rather watch? Okay, I'll give
you a better example. Let's go back to the Minnesota Vikings.
And you guys are too young. You don't remember. They
used to play outside in Bloomington. It was miserable first.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
That's I take that as a sign of disrespect because
you'll you'll forget this.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
I won't.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I called a Minnesota Vikings game while they're playing at
the University of Minnesota while building their new Stadium's right,
So I was out in the elements calling a week
seventeen game back then, and I had no problem being
up in the booth and being those frigid conditions.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Take that played, No, you don't. It's open aid in Indiana, Pete,
stop that. Take that and.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Cleveland, but I'd rather have played by Would you rather
have done that? Game in a nice, warm, comfortable stadium
or in that freezing called booth.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I like the point, but that is the point. That
is That is the point, Pie is the point.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Can we switch subjects real quick? Because I've got I've
got some tickets for you. There might be wolf tickets,
but I've got some tickets for you to go to
Mars and you're living a biodome there. How do you
feel about that?
Speaker 9 (31:25):
Go to Mars? No, I don't. I don't get on
I don't get on.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Rockets, I don't get inside you know, like element.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
I don't get off planes. I don't ride roller coasters.
I don't do any I don't look if I can
avoid it at all.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
You're not helping yourself here helping yourself.
Speaker 9 (31:42):
No, No, I admit it. I admit it. But here's
my theory on the roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Okay, here's tall enough to sit in the seats.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
But by the way, when I was you know what, art,
You're not wrong about that because when I was a kid,
we used to go to the amusement park. We were
like in forced of stuff, and every kid would be
able to go on the ride, and they would't let
me because I want to do enough up. But you
know what that's set just you know what that did.
That set the stage for the rest of my life.
Never wanted to go in those damn things because I
(32:12):
did go on a couple ones and I hated them.
And then when I got older, my theory was, what
if Bobby the bolt tightener that night, went out the
night before and got loubed up and came into work
hungover and he didn't tighten one of the bolts tight
enough in the morning, and you go, fa, I mean,
(32:35):
why would you Why would you subject yourself to that?
So the thrill of going up and down and ride
it doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yeah, And I think some of the guys that run
the carnival rides at local carnivals are like on work
for low Like I think they're like it's like part
of their work release. So it's not like they don't
have a checkered passed as well too, So maybe they
do come in a little looped up, as you say,
Pete and people, I would.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
First, okay, if you go to a music park, you
going to like, I wouldn't go on a carnival ride
if you if you paid me, There's no way, and
I did it. I did it as a kid. I
went on this ride called the Zipper when I was
a kid. And I don't know if you guys ever
remember that ride. You got on it. They strapped you
in and the thing flipped and and and this and
the thing flipped. It was horrendous. And I go, I
(33:20):
never go And I look down and you know what
was holding my cage together like a little pin that
they stick inside, just saying, I mean, what are you
getting me? What am I doing? So I grew up,
got out of that and don't go on anything ever.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I don't disagree with you on that one, Pete. I'm
not a thrill seeker anymore.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
This is a big moment, LeVar. We've had a lot
of a lot of agreement today. I mean, come around, I.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Think I change you know what, I'm going to knots landing.
I'm going to Knox Landing today. I changed my mind
just just because we're agreeing.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
That's that's it's It's like you're playing linebacker and on
the guard and I've worn you down by just blasting
your midsection. For You're done.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I see that. I can see that all right. You
be looking for a handful of something. Whoa, whoa, Pete.
We heard your dirty stories that past.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
We've heard it of the past.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
I'm not getting in the paddle up with you, Pete.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Although you would be in competition with me in a
pile up though, and guarantee you you might be the
one screaming.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
Not me, sir, you were an eye gouger.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I wasn't an eye gouger. But I said what he
does in the pile though.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
I will try.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
I would turn your ankle, I'll pinch leg fat, I'll
pinch the other stuff too, like I'll I'll grab.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
No, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I'm not trying to hurt you, but I'm trying to
put you in pain.
Speaker 9 (34:51):
You're not You're not trying to break his leg. You're
just trying to make it hurt down there.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
That's correct, That's correct. There's a difference between hurting you
and putting you in pain. You know, A pinch isn't
going a pinch isn't going to injure you, but it
will hurt you, know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Like, that's that's all. That's my thing.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
I still want you to play. I still want to
compete against you. I don't want to like take you
out like that. That's that's that's not honorable, you know
what I mean. But if we are in that pal up,
you know I learned how to do that your pointer
in your middle finger, with your thumb, how you pinch
with the it's like a different type of pinch than
with your thumb and your pointer.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
It's no, no, no, it's not it's you know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Sound like you're talking about you know what I'm talking about.
Sound like a twelve year old kid. Next thing you know,
you know, he's gonna come over to me, the car
hit me.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I might have bit too.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I might have bit if if I was in a
position where I could get your leg or your arm
into my face mask, if I could get my face
mask up and bite you, I would have bit you too.
Speaker 9 (35:55):
I had been biting somebody might be one of the
most vild, disgusting things I might.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, I've been in a couple of those games.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
I can remember going against Butler and mine heart brothers,
and and I bit one of them because they stepped
on my hands.
Speaker 9 (36:12):
They that's why I did what I That's why I
did what I did, by the way, because they stepped
up they stopped on my hand with speech. So yeah,
I mean, but fighting fighting is gross.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
But they were too strong for me to pinch them,
you know. And there they were just too strong. The
only way that I could penetrate and hurt was.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Was the bite. So I got a hold of that leg.
Speaker 9 (36:32):
Too, bort kids. After about two months, his hand blew
up like a balloon from it was his leg, It
was his legs whatever I mean, my god, Lamar, I
gave him raby. I was, what's wrong, what's wrong with you?
What's wrong with your leg? Well, lamar Arringtons bit me.
(36:53):
There you go. Uh.

know that you got an emergency.
Speaker 7 (39:48):
I can't have to happen to have an emergency flask
on me at all times.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
You never know, you never know? Can I admit this?
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Over the break, people would come up and ask me
about the break, and then they'd ask me about different
characters in the show, and people would ask about Lee
and they'd be like, Hey, does Lee really drink as.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Much as you guys make it sound. I was like,
probably more actually what it actually is. But yeah, that's like,
yes he does.
Speaker 7 (40:19):
So to answer your question, yeah, it was a little
bombay with a heine before he took the dog out
for a walk.
