Speaker 4 (01:32):
Oh damn yeah all them.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
You got problems, man, I got it?

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah, all demn damn.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
So we we opened up the show talking about Dion
Sanders and look the it's gaining momentum, gathering steam. The
Dion Sanders and the Dallas Cowboys. There's some mutual interest there.
Edward was on the Dan Patrick Show yesterday and spoke
about the potential interest and the potential possibility of Deon
Sanders being the next head coach of.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
The Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
There's you know, like real, a real idea and a
real possibility of this happening. And I know you and
I were talking earlier in the show. I think it
would be phenomenal. I hope it happens. It's no disrespect
to the Colorado football program, but not at all what
he's done for them over the past couple of years.

(02:31):
I don't think there should be any if he decides
to move on, I don't think there should be anybody
that either gives him a side eye or is critical
of him. He's done what nobody's been able to do
to that program since the nineties, and he should be
commended for it.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
I mean, I'm sure people will have a hard time
for it, because who knows what the future holds. If
Deon Sanders a word to leave, I don't think that
you can just replace that with a new coach. Granted
it now makes the job that much more attractive, but
I think the fall off of his presence being in

(03:06):
Bolder would be I mean, I think it would be catastrophic,
to be honest, because I truly believe he drives everything
with him. And while some people may sit there and
be like, a, well, that's kind of a selfish approach. Now,
it's a brilliant approach because you have to take what

(03:28):
you have assets wise, and you have to utilize those
assets to the best of your ability to be able
to try to get the results that you're seeking. And
that's what Dion Sanders has done in Colorado. So if
he were to choose to leave, you're not going to
find a coach that's going to come in and be
able to create that type of buy in, that type

(03:50):
of excitement, and probably I'm just guessing, I don't think
that a new coach comes in and gets that type
of success either. So if he were to leave, of course,
people are going to be upset about him leaving, and
rightfully so, because you want your team to continue to thrive,
your program, and your school to continue to thrive. But

(04:12):
with that being said, he has given you something that
you didn't have, which is, like you said, it's relevance,
and now that you've you have that relevance. If Dion
decides he wants to go to a different a different place,
and that place not being a lateral movement, it's not
like he's leaving you for Florida State. It's not like

(04:34):
he's leaving you for a college program. He would be
taking a step up into the bigs. And if that's
what he chose to do at this point in time, Okay,
you could be upset because of what the implications are,
but you still got to be, you know, giving that
man his props because he's shown you how to actually
build from nothing to something all the way to where

(04:58):
he's being considered and maybe being hired as the coach
of a professional team.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
You think you think Florida State regrets it?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Hell, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
And that's a team who was borderline a playoff team
a year ago.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
I mean, they were undefeated at one point.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
So maybe they're looking at it at that moment in
time and they're like, ah, you know, it is what
it is. We got our undefeated year. Like good for Dion.
Maybe we'll get him one day, you know, But do
they regret in the long run that they did not bring,
you know, be the team, you know, be the program
that actually, like if your own school doesn't want to

(05:38):
believe in you and bring you in to do it,
like dang, Like that's kind of you know, that's horrible.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I wonder if that would have been a forever spot
for him, if they you know, because obviously his love
for the university and what he did there as a player.
I wonder if if he had gone there and his
sons were like, if he looked at that and said
that this is I'm good for that, or if in
the back of his mind he always thought, you know,
maybe I could do it at the NFL. As much

(06:05):
as he said publicly he didn't. I wonder if, just
seeing the success he had at each level, if he
just kind of recalibrated his expectations and just thought, yeah,
maybe I could do it. Like, I wonder when that
kicked in, because he's been pretty consistent about not wanting
to go to the NFL up until this Cowboys job
started to open up, and there was rumblings that maybe

(06:28):
he was interested in the Raiders job as well too.
So I just wonder what made him all of a
sudden reevaluate if this is true and there's the potential
that he goes to the NFL, what made him?

Speaker 6 (06:38):
Really?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Can't we be clear here? People can change their minds. Like,
let me let tie in on. It's like simple little
secret that exists in life.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Right.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
People live life, They experience life day to day. Something
goes on, something happens, something doesn't happen, You just wake
up whatever.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
You're allowed to change your mind about things that you
may have made a decision about before. You may have
told somebody that you felt one way, and you know what,
the next day came about and you went in a
different direction, you know what I mean? Like, people can
change their minds duh, Like deal with it?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Like what what what is the problem?

Speaker 5 (07:28):
What?

Speaker 4 (07:29):
What is it that?

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Like, does there have to be some type of scientific
theory connected to why Dion Sanders would change his mind
and considering going to the pro level?

Speaker 7 (07:39):
I mean, what.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
The hell?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well, can we get a time out here real quick?
Can we bring back duh?

Speaker 7 (07:47):
Du It's the most dismissive, effecsive thing you could say
to somebody without saying an actual word, Like somebody's in
the middle of a conversation school dud duh?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Like what what.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Can we from Barb Brady with that? When he comes
back like in the middle of a take. Yeah, Brady,
we got it. He was about it. We're gonna start
bringing that back, man, we got to bring that back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's I just think maybe, uh, maybe now's the time.
Now is the time that we get Coach Prime in
the NFL, you know.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
I mean, you know, his new series has just hit
on on Prime, which I think is funny. Coach Prime
on Prime. Yeah, but his new his new season has
hit and he's gotta and he's got a talk show
that he does.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
I mean, the dude is a.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
One man enterprise and has given his family the opportunity
to be able to monetize off of it. I mean,
Bucky and his his UH production company have built an
amazing company and their their product is really doing well.
I mean, just that man is I wonder what he's

(09:04):
one of one.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
I wonder what he's into Blenders, the Sunglass company, because oh.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
My gosh, yeah, he sent all of the Penn.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
State volley girls volleyball team blenders.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
They really bro When they were going into the the finals,
they were walking into the gym, every last one of
them had their blenders on because he you know, he's
a supporter of Katie. You know she's fighting breast cancer.
So shouts out to Katie crowd by way coach first
woman to win UH, you know, national title as as

(09:35):
as a coach in volleyball, women's volleyball. Anyway, he's a
ginormous supporter of her. He had the whole squad, they
was mobbed up in blenders walking into the UH into
the championship round. So yeah, I mean he he is
a master marketer, bro. And I'm sure blenders there their
values going through through the roof.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Bro, because they used to be if the I found
out about blenders, because if you go on Instagram, they
would always have like an ad and so you know,
they were pretty affordable. It was like, yeah, whatever, I'll
get a pair one just check him out. And so
my buddy and I got some just as kind of
a goof. And then I remember seeing Dion in the
first game was it Nebraska they played first? Was that
the he opened up his career to Colorado with And

(10:18):
I was like, dude, I think he's wearing blenders And
within two weeks it was like the hottest sunglass company
on the planet. Like that is what Like, that's the
power of the gravitasit he has. And to have him
potentially in Dallas would be a lot of fun, I
think for everybody involved, everybody that covers the league, covers
the Cowboys, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Now it does bring up this.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
You know, Mike McCarthy their X, he's out there looking
for work. Interviewed with the Saints. Apparently that's going to
be coming up potentially, who knows. He already interviewed with
the Chicago Bears. Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports says that
it is down to a two man race in Chicago.
It's either going to be Mike McCarthy or it's going

(10:59):
to be Ben Johnson again. That according to Jordan Schultz,
who was on the Herd yesterday and spoke about it,
everything that you hear about Ben Johnson.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
Is don't believe it. Well this, well this who knows
Ben Johnson? Like, where's Ben Johnson really going? Nobody knows?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
And this Raiders thing, though, is picking up momentum everywhere
to where apparently Tom Brady has done and there's a
quote unquote a massive offer already on the table for
Ben Johnson. People in and around the NFL think he's
gonna take the gig with Las Vegas.

Speaker 7 (11:34):
Why.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Maybe he's been told, hey, you're gonna have ten years
to try and figure this thing out. But if you
believe that, ask Matt Rule, who was told you'll have
seven years to figure it out in Carolina and an
hour and a half later he was coaching Nebraska. So
I just I mean, if that's the case, who knows.
But if you had a choice, if you're the Bears
and you're hiring a head coach and it is a

(11:57):
two man race and it's Mike McCarthy or it's Ben Johnson,
who do you want.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
If you had to.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Choose, if I had to choose, I'm taking Ben Johnson
because I already know what I'm getting with Mike McCarthy.
I don't know what I'm getting with Ben Johnson.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
But wouldn't that make the argument for Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
So keep having these retraads. I just told you guys
this on the show the other day. I don't understand,
Like you don't.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Like thrift stores, do you?

Speaker 4 (12:25):
No, Damn, I don't.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
I don't. I don't want your used pants. I just don't.
I don't want your used jacket. I did that growing up,
you know what I mean, like to my older brothers
stuff like I've been through that. You know, Warris sneakers
and I mean he did a good job of keeping
his sneakers clean, you know what I mean, But there
still was this idea that it's not mine. I don't know,

(12:51):
like like you humble yourself because it's like you understand, like, Okay,
this is one hundred dollars pair of shoes and he
doesn't want them anymore. Your parents are passing him down
to you, or he's outgrown them, whatever it may be.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Like I get it.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Well, it's like when somebody asked me like, hey, where
did you buy your clothes when you were a kid?
I was like, I went to HMD. Hand me down.
That'll hand me down, hand me down. Help that it
fits and if it doesn't, either gain weight or lose it.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
And I understand work, but I understand bringing in retreads
because they understand the structure and all of the things
that go into running a team as.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
A head coach.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
But that's just I'm so sick and tired of it though,
Like at some point, there are so many people that
come into this game, just like the players.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Just like the players.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
What I just saw your text, Oh lasers.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
You got you do have some mission. You got major issues.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
It checked.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
We need we need to do a read for for you.
One hundred Jonas needs help.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Dot com Houston's gonna be fun.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
It's not gonna be long enough. We gotta get out
of there.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
I just I just think retrans is it's getting played out,
it's getting tired. So I would I would want a
coach like a Ben Johnson who has shown that they
can get an offense going. They've gotten everybody around the
league excited about who they are. We just had the
conversation about uh deon Sanders and how he's gotten people
excited about who he is and the prospects of what

(14:43):
he represents as a coach possibly in the National Football League.
Like focusing on things like that. You know, I heard
the whole Marcus Freeman thing. Focusing on on things like that.
You see a dope ass coach at the college level,
Focus on that, you see a dope ass court at
the pro level, Focus in on that. I'm so sick

(15:04):
and tired of cronyism and nepotism and all these things
taking place in the National Football League.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Like, let's get out of the way of ourselves.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Man, stop hiring these same old ass people to do
the same old ass job.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
Man, damn, get.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Some new people in there, see how they do it,
and then listen. I'm not even saying that on no
racial kick. I'm just saying it on like a quality
opportunity kick. I don't care if you're a white, black, brown, purple, green, yellow, orange, pink,
I don't care if you can coach. If you can
coach and you're showing that you can coach and you

(15:39):
haven't been a head coach before, owners, take a look
at what these guys are doing. Look at the quality
of the work that these people are doing. Don't take
a guy that's shown you that he can't get this
team to the super Bowl. Oh, but we're going to
hire him to be the head coach over here? Like
what the hell does that? What kind of sense does
that make? Please explain to me. I'll never understand. Like, Okay,

(16:03):
Andy Reid, different story. You may have one flyer here
or there, one exception to the rule here and there,
but for the most part, Oh, this guy went to
this team, he coached this team, couldn't get anywhere, got fired.
Now he goes over here, he gets hired as an
offensive coordinator. Now he goes back to being a head

(16:25):
coach over here. Like what made it any different? What
made that coach different? What made him better from the
time he got fired where he couldn't get you to
where you wanted him to be, and then they got
rid of you. Now you go over here, you coach
running backs for a year, Now you're up for head
coach again.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Like it is dumb, damn.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
There's too many good talents out here, and if they're
not a good talent, at least take a chance on
figuring it out. You already know what the hell you're
getting with this other guy. Just doesn't make sense to me.
Why you keep rehiring the same people over and over
and over again. Sorry, Mike, you got one super Bowl,
be happy about it. Go be an offensive coordinator, a

(17:07):
quarterback coach, or you know, quality control. Why don't Why
don't old ass coaches go become quality control?

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Like, because you.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Should have to start at the beginning too, you more
than anybody should have to start at the beginning, because
you get you got, you got a job, and you
couldn't get it done.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
You start over, you ain't.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Got a job.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
He's sitting round here like your fat daddy.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Your fat dad? Are we done yet?

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Why don't you get we finished yet?

Speaker 4 (17:36):
You know?

Speaker 1 (17:36):
And so you're basically saying, go to the nursing home
of coaches, which is the quality control coach.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 4 (17:42):
The hell out?

Speaker 3 (17:43):
I mean, it's disrespect the hell out of the way.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
You're you're holding up space, time and opportunity for somebody.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
I'm just I'm surprised you would take that approach with
a guy who went to Bishop Boyle, which is twenty
five minutes.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
He's a PA guy.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
I'm not a hater, though I'm thinking the ites not
a I'm.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Not a hater. The guy has been given an opportunity.
He hasn't been able to even get it done in Dallas.
So now you're going to immediately re hire him because
because what Because Chicago is a better team than Dallas.
So you're going to get better results with with Mike
McCarthy in Chicago because we have a better team than Dallas.

(18:21):
We have a better setup and a better situation than Dallas. Like,
come on, man, disrespect man, get up out of here
with that man you ohied, dude couldn't get it done
out of team that's probably better than yours right now.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Y'all.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Your mama dated and your daddy dated. Oh y'all with us?

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, man, get it together.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
I'm just it is two pros and a cup of Joe.
Here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you.
Try and be professional for once in your career. Please, Okay,
let's get this together here. Coming up next here from
the Tire Studios, we are going to talk about somebody
who apparently turned down a whole lot of money, a
whole lot of money in the world of football.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Do we believe it. We'll get into that. We'll discuss
it for you next year on FSR.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 9 (19:29):
Amelie Amelily, Amelie, Amelie Amelli. I'm a young money MILLI
Una night, Jimmy Una.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Trop.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Just a little tongue in cheek or whatever it is.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Oh wow, little little tongue in cheek. Chee yeah, little
little hu in cheat cheak.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
Lebar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. By the way,
we are going to have some leaves leftovers coming up
in about twenty minutes from now from the tire raq
dot com studios. Before we get to this reported payday
that somebody turned down. I just I'm not trying to
steer you in any direction or whatever, because you've already
made your pick. But we did do our picks against
the spread the last hour. I just would like to

(20:25):
point out that, you know, one of the games that
we discussed was the Rams Eagles game. Right now, currently
Philadelphia is a six point favorite on DraftKings, but there
is potentially going to be some snow there. Mother Nature
is knocking on the door of this game at the
Link in Philly, and I would just like to point

(20:47):
out that, you know, Philadelphia is one of the best
teams at running the football all season long. The Rams
are one of the worst at doing that and also
one of the worst at stopping it. So you said
MS money line. I just I didn't know if that
was the information that you would like to have based
on the snow that could be falling there at the

(21:07):
Link in Philly. You know, I just wasn't sure.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
If I was just in Pennsylvania for a few days.
I actually drove past the Link. The weather is very frigid,
it's very cold. I just think that this Rams team
right now, they're hot, and I don't see the weather.

(21:31):
I don't see the weather slowing them down.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
I just I.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Think I think Philadelphia is prime. They're primed for a
slip up.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
I do think that one of Like I would not
surprise me if one of the NFC top seeds lost
out right this.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Weekend, it's gonna be the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I'm telling whether it's the Rams beating the Eagles or
Washington beating Detroit, I don't know why. I just get away.
I just get a weird feeling about Detroit in that game.
I don't know why. And maybe it's because they've never
been in the spot. You know, Detroit's never been a
one seed in the history of their organization. It's the
first time they've ever been a one seed. They're the

(22:17):
favorite on DraftKings to win the Super Bowl right now.
I just we've never seen them play with the quote
unquote lead before and now they are.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
And what's interesting is are both teams are pretty much
built the same way. Strong offensive lineman, strong offensive fronts.
They run the ball, they force their will on you,
and and they're able to wear you down. And they
had big playability, like I think got full capacity. Philadelphia

(22:50):
is probably the better team and a much harder, much
more difficult team to beat. But with that being said,
I was thoroughly impressed with the way the Rams defense
played last weekend. Thoroughly impressed. I mean, they got after
a pretty freaking talented Minnesota Vikings team, man and they

(23:13):
They didn't just beat them. They didn't just like slide
out of that game. They thumped them. They was thumping
them boys, not what was it nine and a half
sacks something like that, nine sacks? Come on, man and listen.
Sam Darnold, like I know he was. You know that

(23:34):
he wasn't playing as well as he could have been playing.
But that was still a very dangerous team. Minnesota could
have very well got back on track against the Rams.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
And the Rams.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Closed that door emphatically, emphatically. And I'm telling you right now,
Matthew Stafford, we're sleeping on Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
We're sleeping on him. Man.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
Their defenses playing playing well, and as long as they're
healthy on offense. And they got Hookah Nakua and he
cooking them. And you got and you got, uh, you
got Abraham Lincoln, you got you got both of them.
You got cup cup and and and hookah. Yeah, Abraham Lincoln. Yeah,

(24:19):
I'm just telling you, man, they're a dangerous team. Bro.
And And if I were picking, which I did, if
I was picking an upset alert for this weekend, I
think it's them.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I just like I'm gonna go with Philly just because
I support Penn State the program Big Dom Saquon Barkley,
So you know, I'm just I want to see that
program do well at the next level. But again that's just,
you know, that's me. Some people are different, you know,
we are. I get you.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I just I don't. I don't know. I don't know that.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Washington is there yet to go win a game of
this magnitude. I don't know if they're there yet. And
that's why I would say I don't see them coming
away with going into a hostile environment and being able
to win the game.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
I just don't see that.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
But the rams, some of these guys have been there before,
most importantly your quarterback and your head coach. They've been
here before. They face these odds before. So to me,
I look at it and I say, all the experience
they have, the way their defense is playing, I would

(25:33):
not be surprised if they go into Philadelphia and they
win this game. I just won't be surprised. And that's
why I picked it.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
It's gonna be fun. Here's what else is gonna be fun.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Who decides they want to draft Quinn Yours at the
next level. He did enter the draft that was reported
a couple of days ago, So you're smart.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Apparently the wolf, the big bad Wolf was on his ass.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Chip Brown and who does a good job of covering
the Texas Longhorns for Horns two four seven, says that
yours would offered eight million dollars to transfer to another school.
He said he made six million dollars in nil money
over the last three years of Texas. On that subject,
Travis Hunter was on The Travis Hunter Show and he

(26:22):
spoke about Carson Beck reportedly getting ten million dollars in
nil Whether or not that's true or not, who's.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Telling you the numbers are up there?

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Bro? Here was I was sitting with some of the
people that were a part of that deal when that
deal was taking place. We just happened to be coincidentally
in Miami when that stuff was happening.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
But go ahead, got's Here.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Was Travis Hunter discussing it.

Speaker 10 (26:46):
Do you get tim million dollars? How's all these people
getting as much money?

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Bro? This nil market get seemed like a reset every
four months.

Speaker 10 (26:55):
Let me go test it out. But I'm gonna go
test it out. Bro, let me go back. I'm going
back to call it. Let me see if I give
me a honey, let me see if I can go
back and you know, win another Hetsman. And because ten
million dollars, I ain't make that in college.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
I mean it's not accurate. I know that, but like.

Speaker 10 (27:09):
Still, like, bro, if I made million dollars in college, boy.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, all right, so you're buying a ten million dollar number.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
I'm saying, I know that everything is not accurate and
there is no real transparency. It's not ten million. That's
not the hard number. But I'm just telling you that's
where the numbers are heading. That's where the numbers are
heading for these top top flight free agents at the

(27:40):
college level, That's where the numbers are heading.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
That's all I'll say.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
I just wonder what you would have made back in college.
I would have given you, at least.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
To a defensive player. I'm a defensive player, man. So
it's it's different going after they're going after quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Man, these are stars like you are a star in college.
Like they're gonna try and if you were out there
and available, you mean to tell me somebody wouldn't try
and bring you in, like and offer up a couple
of million bucks to try and bring you in.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
I thought it was interesting the point that Travis made
in terms of he won the Heisman. So even though
he's not not a quarterback, I mean, if he had
decided to stay, which I didn't even know he had
any more eligibility. But let's just say for the sake
of saying he decided to stay, and he has that
heisman in the hip, and he says he wants to
enter the transfer portal.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
How much you think that he's gonna he's going to
you know, command.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I don't know if he would get quarterback money, but
I don't think so. If there was a non quarterback
who could get it, I think he would.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Be beat him.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
I agree that is wild.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
How much you think you weres a make as a
as a rookie? I don't.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
I mean, I don't know what what round he gets
drafted in or what the.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Let's just say he goes in the first round. Well,
I think he'll make more good like six seven million.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
He'll get more than that if he goes in the
first round and get more than that because it's slotted now.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
But yeah, so what is it slotted at.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
I think he would get more than the six million.
He'll get more than the six million dollars, he'll get
more than the eight million dollars to go to Texas
or this took good that was offered him. According to
Chip Brown, if he transferred to another school, I think
he would. He'll end up with them when I.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Go back to school. Why go back to school if
you're going to make more, and you know you're going
to make more, that doesn't make any sense. And clearly
Peyton you know, I mean not Peyton, but you know
eli Archie. I mean not eli Archie. Yeah, Archie Manny
is going to have that job next year, so he's

(29:42):
getting out of the way. I mean, but if you
wanted to go to a whole you want to go
to an entirely different school and start over for one
year for that amount of money when you're going to
possibly be able to get that much. Now, if you
could improve your draft status and you knew you were
going to lose your job because a man is behind
you nipping at your not your your you know, nipping

(30:05):
at you your your heels.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yeah, there you go, nipping.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Thank you, thank you for saving me there because I
was about to say another word when it and ended
in an s. All right anyway rhymes with pads.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Anyway, on nads.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Remember when you used to call.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Yes, I called you jan nass like ass, not nads.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
But Joe nads is funny too though.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Anyway, you get to get out of the way while
they're coming after your jon nads.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
Dum.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
I'd say that'd be the only reason why you would
come back, right, is that you think you can increase
your your draft status. Maybe possibly, I don't even know that.
You look at it from trying to win a national title.
I think you just tried to increase your draft status
while you're able to make a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
I'm not asking you to give me the who was involved?
I mean, if you want to, it'd be great.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
I mean that would help everybody out who's on this thing.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
I'm not asking you what team or player was involved.
But back when you were oh playing.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
Play okay, when I played okay, what was.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
The largest amount ballpark that you heard somebody was given
to push them towards one school over another.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Well, well look at it like this, all right.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
I got offered a bag of money to go to
a school where I could play both sports, basketball and football.
My my mother was going to get a job. They
were going to get them a house. Uh what else?
What else was involved? There was vehicles in Vall. I
think at least two vehicles were involved. And I think

(31:54):
that and so if you really run the numbers on.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
That, I mean, how do you turn down Hawaii like that?

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Honestly turned it down?

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Man.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
I adn't take no money from nobody. I chose purely
for what the school had to offer and what what
my opportunities were within going to where I was going.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
So I wanted to say, so what would that everything
everything involved at the time, price wise retiring a million
million five?

Speaker 4 (32:18):
I mean, like, like do the math on it?

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Like a place like it had probably been a house
because my parents aren't broke. So it wasn't like we
were like paulpers you know, we weren't. We weren't like struggling.
I wasn't in the projects. So they wasn't saving us.
You weren't coming to my house like saving me. You
were coming to the house. It was a nice house

(32:41):
on a coldie sack. Wasn't a dead end road, wasn't
a dead end street. It was a cold, colder sack.
Is that how you said? Colder sack? Cold a sack?
Culd a sack culder, sack cooldsa sack all right.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
It was that right.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
It was in a middle class, which I I guess
they don't consider that, they don't consider it a class
an more th middle class. But it was an upper
middle class suburban area. And and you know, my dad
had a Mercedes Bens.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
My mom had a Cadillac damn.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
My brother had a Maxima damn with ground ground effects.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
I had an Asuzu Rodeo clean. Yes, damn. My parents
do well.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
My dad, my dad is a one hundred percent full full,
like fully retired, like fully covered veteran.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
I got a bike with no seat.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Tang duh.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
I mean why Wood and Tones have a bike with
no seat on it?

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Yeah? Way too comfortable the other way anyway.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
I'm just saying, if you was gonna come to the
if you was gonna come to the table, I mean,
everything that we was doing all in was probably out
a million dollars close just under maybe like seven hundred
and eight hundred all in with the value of my
my parent, my parents' home that they owned, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
So you know.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
That's in ninety that's in ninety seven, ninety six, ninety six,
ninety five, ninety five, ninety six, We're in twenty twenty five.
What do you think the money is right now? Knowing
that the NIL space is a growing space, it's an
unchartered territory.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Seven to ten seems possible, plausible.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
I'm telling you right now, Bro, I was sitting with
the people. I was sitting with the people at Miami.
Like I wasn't at Miami, but I'm very close to
some of the people that are very close to the situation.
I was sitting with them, and I heard some of
the numbers, and I'm just telling y'all.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
The ten is not accurate, but it ain't far off.

Speaker 7 (34:54):
Damn.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
It's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Well, good for him, It's all.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
I'm gonna say.
