Speaker 2 (00:32):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Did Brady do this again? Wasn't us?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think this might be a different part of the
popp it No, this is a different song.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh god, this is anything for clout.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I yeah, I had no part of We've never even
had the.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Song yet, have we? The song stinks too. I'll say
this as far as picking show open songs, I don't
know that Brady's ever had a good one. He's got
brutal taste. He's had one or two hits. Oh well,
(01:19):
that sucks. I was hoping for Pope. Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. No
LeVar Arrington, no Brady Quinn, just Jonas Knox with you.
We are going to take you all the way up
until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific. You can
find this show on the iHeartRadio app. You can also
find us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country.
Those of you that maybe were listening earlier and are
(01:40):
now trying to figure it out, like, hey, we're Levargo.
He was here the first hour. Well, this is how
this works. They are called random ped test for a reason.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
At six point fifty five am Eastern time, LaVar Arrington
was administered a random test. At six point fifty six
am Eastern time, LaVar Arrington pissed hot. Can't be condoned,
(02:16):
so he will not be with us for the remainder
of the show. How to make the rules? And I
kind of do, but hey is what it is. Population
and as some people would say, tough balls. And speaking
of which, I would like to take this time to
defend somebody here on the show. I would like to
(02:36):
defend somebody. And for people listening on one of those
affiliates known as the Blowtorch AM five to seventy LA Sports,
you're going to know this individual very well, very popular figure.
When he was out here in Los Angeles, spent many years,
was a champion out here. And that's somebody is Justin Turner.
Justin Turner, who is living out maybe the final day
(03:00):
of his major league baseball career at forty years old,
and he is currently a role player with the Chicago Cubs.
He comes in a little bit of a bit of
a platoon situation, but he comes in great locker room guy,
great clubhouse guy. Everybody loves Justin Turner and anybody that's
followed the course of his career, anybody out here in
(03:20):
Los Angeles, you know, still very popular him and his wife,
the things they've done locally, just you cannot find anybody
this is a bad thing about Justin Turner. Everybody loves
Justin Turner. Well, Justin Turner finds himself a little bit
of an awkward predicament that really isn't his fault. Last
night during the Cubs Pirates game on Marquee Sports, and
(03:47):
I know because I was watching it with my son,
who's four years old. We're watching the game last night,
I believe it was intermission of the Stanley Cup Final,
which has been fantastic, and they decide to award something
called the fan of the game at Wrigley Field. Normally,
(04:09):
what they do is they'll find a fan in the
crowd and award that fan as fan of the game,
just kind of a little goofy you know thing Marquee
Sports does. Instead, what they did is they decided to
award it to a player, and the player they awarded
it to was Justin Turner. The problem is they showed
(04:31):
Justin Turner down in the clubhouse jumping up and down
to celebrate his teammates home run. That teammate is Saya Suzuki,
and apparently nobody at Marquee who was working the camera
or the production noticed that Justin Turner, while jumping up
and down, had a pair of fake testicles on while
(04:51):
doing so. And the best part is the guys call
the game, boog Shot and Jim Deshas, who are fantastic
by the way, they're one of the best duo calling
games anywhere. They just went silent. They showed Justin Turner
jumping up and down. He's got a pair of fake
(05:14):
truck nuts on, and they don't know what to do.
They literally just went silent. And I would have done
anything to be in the booth to see what was
going on, because I guarantee me, I guarantee they were
laughing their ass off. You had no choice. It was
(05:38):
so awkward for everybody, and I've spotted it in real time.
I'm like, wait, wait what. And you can find the
video if you go to social media. Just search Justin Turner. Okay,
just search Justin Turner and it's Tim jumping up and
down with a pair of fake nuts on. But the
(05:58):
problem is nobody noticed that, and they made him the
fan of the game. And there's no possible way that
anybody decided, hey, this will be a fun one. Let's do.
Let's do fan of the Game on Pride Night, no less,
with Justin Turner jumping up and down with fake testicles.
(06:20):
The whole thing was phenomenal, so unintentionally funny, and Boog
Shambie and Jim Desays literally couldn't speak. They had nothing
to say. They waited. It was really silent and really awkward,
and then they just continued calling the game. So I
(06:40):
would like to defend Justin Turner from the standpoint of, hey, listen,
clubhouse behavior. Probably shouldn't have been a camera on him,
They probably shouldn't have awarded him fan of the game.
If he's jumping around with any sort of male purse
between his legs while celebrating a teammates, Homer, yep, probably
should have had the camera there. It's why it's the
(07:02):
clubhouse and or locker room for elite for a reason.
There should be a little bit of privacy there. So
I just want to defend Justin Turner. Also give a
shout out to Fox Sports radio alum Cole Wright, who
is also working at Marquee Sports. He does a phenomenal job.
Cole's fantastic, so give a shout out to him as
well too. A member of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association.
(07:25):
I believe Ben Maller calls it, so congratulations to Cole,
he's been doing phenomenal there. And congratulations to whoever decided
to award Justin Turner the fan of the game and
didn't happen to pan down, you know, didn't happen to
pan down, And some people were speculating, are those really his? No,
(07:46):
that's the joke. So speaking of nuts, the Cincinnati Bengals
might even fall into that category because the Cincinnati Bengals
are like, you know what, got a franchise quarterback? We
got all this talent on offense, We've shown that we've
(08:08):
got the ability to go throw for throw with Patrick
Mahomes and actually beat him in the postseason in the playoffs.
We nearly won the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.
Some would argue, we probably should have won the Super Bowl,
but you know, we lost it it so far to
the Rams and Aaron Donald got his ring and Cooper Cup,
you know who apparently has shaved his beard now. Cooper
(08:28):
Cup is the MVP of the like all those things that.
But if you're the Bengals, you're like, man, listen, we're close.
We got this. And then they're like, huh, how could
we f this up?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I know, let's get into contract disputes with not only
one defensive player, but two, the latest being Shamar Stewart,
who decided, you know what, I'm out of here. I
don't like the fact that you guys are changing the
language on this deal when last year it wasn't the
same language. I'm not going to sign it. I'm not
signing anything. And so what makes us even more fun
(09:02):
is that on the Cincinnati Bengals, you have somebody who
knows a thing or two about the entire situation, and
that's somebody would be Bengals center and nfl PA vice
president Ted Karris, who defended both Shamar Stewart and his
other teammate Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
It's not the best case scenario of how the spring
could have gone for our first round pick, but you know,
there is uh pretty serious business aspect to our profession.
And you know he's taken counsel from from his you
know camp, and you know, I don't The main thing
(09:39):
I want to say is I don't think to either
of our defensive ends that there's not any harboring resentment
in this locker room to them, I know, And I
really hope that both camps can figure this out because
we have a you know, we have a really good team.
We've had a super productive spring, and you know, you
just don't want this to carry over into into summer.
I think from a PA respective, always, we don't want
(10:02):
you know, language and contracts that are gonna be negative
to players. As far as guaranteed money, we're always trying
to you know, max the amount of guarantees that guys get.
So you know, it's a business negotiation, and you know,
I just I'm Uh, you know, I feel I feel
for Shamar that you know, he has to kind of
this is his first taste of the league with you know,
(10:23):
kind of a lot of hate. Hate on the internet,
not hate, but since he Twitter is a mess around,
so I, you know, I hope that he can come
and be super productive and fall and and kind of
get everyone back on the side.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So that was Ted Carris of the Cincinnati Bengals discussing
the uh, the contract issues there and the off season
the Bengals are currently going on. And also, you know,
Joe Burrows asked about it. Yeah, it's a distraction. Zach
Taylor's been asked about it. It's just there are and
we were discussing this earlier. There are franchises around the
(10:57):
NFL that would do anything for the problems of the
Cincinnati Bengals. Anything where if you were to ask a friend,
you'd pull them aside and say, hey, so here is
your problem, quote unquote. You've got a franchise quarterback, a
guy who's got the chance to be a Hall of Famer,
(11:17):
a guy who's been talked about. Troy Aikman has called
him maybe his favorite quarterback of all time. Everybody agrees
Joe Burrow's the guy you end up with him because
you sucked so bad the year prior. You've also been
able to work out a long term extension with him.
(11:39):
You've got Jamar Chase, who's one of the best wide receivers.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
In the air.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You've got all of this at your disposal. You've shown
the ability to beat the team that is the dynasty
of your era. You were the boogeyman potentially going into
the playoffs last year, so all of that is yours,
(12:04):
and you just get this feeling that somehow, Someway, the
Bengals are going to screw this up. They've got all
of this potential, all of this opportunity, the window is open,
and they're going to put a board over it somehow, Someway.
You just get that impression. You get that vibe. And
(12:26):
if I'm Bengals ownership, if I like, dude, figure out
a way to get Trey Hendrickson in the door and signed,
figure out a way to get Shamar Stewart's contract work
out and go back to the deal that was signed
last year. From a pre it's like, why why get
in the way of all this? And we've talked about
(12:46):
it on the show before. Some organizations cannot help themselves.
Do you want an NBA comp for you? How about
the New York Knicks, who put the nick in nickel
and dime with the way that they operate. And you
should have known that this is exactly how the Knicks
(13:07):
were going to operate, based on the way that they
celebrated after getting past the second round. And I was
on record, and Knicks fans got upset about it and
got pissy about it because I pointed out the fact that,
you know, it is kind of pathetic. This is supposed
to be Madison Square Guard and this is supposed to
be the Knicks. This is supposed to be New York.
This is market number one. Blah blah blah blah blah.
(13:30):
And the Knicks operated like the Sacramento Kings did years
ago when they hung a Summer League title banner up
at the arena. You got past the second round and
people were climbing stuff in the streets, and then two
wins later, you fire your coach. But don't worry, they've
(13:54):
got a plan. If you don't believe me, believe the
Hall of Famer Charles Barkley. He was on NBA TV
and Charles Barkley spoke about this quote unquote plan by
the New York Knicks.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
The Knicks gotta be the stupidest damn people.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
In the world.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Like, you don't find no good coach like that and
don't have a plan. I mean, it's Tips did a
hell of a job. Obviously sum's going on now, but
you don't have a plan now the three coaches turn
you down. You gotta have a plan, man, And they
don't have a plan now. I mean, I don't know
(14:33):
what the hell they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Nobody does. Nobody does. But it's funny because all these
Knicks fanboys who want to defend the team are like, oh, listen,
don't worry about it. They got an idea, they know
exactly what they're doing. Oh yeah, what's that Now they're
gonna they're gonna target this guy and that guy and
(14:56):
with with, with with. They have no idea what the
hell they're doing. They accomplished something they hadn't done in
a quarter century and then decided, now we got to
make changes. Okay, how's that going? But Dori, you got
(15:20):
your guy. They got their guy. They they had an
idea and they got their guy. Nah. Not really, and
it was supposed to be feel good time for the Knicks. Remember,
like this was the brand new Knicks. Remember James Dolan
was nowhere to be found. Like JD in the straight shot,
I think we're doing a cover sets at some local
(15:40):
pub in Manhattan somewhere, you know, a couple of blocks
like they were nowhere to be found. I don't even
know if he was at the games. Nobody talked about
the Charles Oakley stuff. Nobody's even bringing up the fact that,
you know, Tracy Morgan, who's basically Nostradamus. Tracy Morgan blue
chunks on the court during game, which might have been
(16:01):
an indication that, like, hey, guys, I know this seems
cool and all right now, but it's gonna go poorly.
Guy just lost his lunch and it looked like he
lost the previous three lunches as well too. But don't worry.
The Knicks are making a run.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
You had Timothy Champagne or whatever his name is, show
up with one of the Kardashians. Everybody, all, guy, it's god,
the Knicks are back. The Knicks are back, and then
they fire their head coach that got them to a
place they hadn't been in a quarter century. But but
they got a plan. They got everything's gonna be fine.
(16:36):
The Knicks got this, they got it figured out. And
it's almost as if James Dolan was like, you know what, man,
you guys are doing way too good and I'm nowhere
to be found. I want to put my my fingerprints
on this. I want to make my mark. Okay, how's
that going. It's like the Bengals have a window here,
(16:57):
an opportunity, and somehow, some way you just get the
field and they're gonna screw it up. The Knicks do
something they hadn't done in twenty five years, and somehow,
some way they're gonna screw it up. They can't help themselves.
(17:18):
This is the way they operate. And that's why when
organizations get labeled as dysfunctional or theirs skepticism about an
organization from the quote unquote national media, the people locally
get all upset and all hot and bothered about it.
It's like, dude, take a step back and look at
the big picture and it's going to tell you everything
(17:38):
you need to know. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio.
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here
on FSR. By the way, you can get me on
x IF if you'd like, at the Jonas Knox. You
can also follow along on Instagram as well too at
Jonas Knox Show here on This Football Friday. Coming up
next here though, we are going to tell you the
story about somebody in the NFL. Somebody in the NFL
(18:03):
that apparently ain't going anywhere anytime soon, and we've got
the proof right here at FSR.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
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 Two.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio. I
would say, if I got to be honest, Levar's had
the most memorable intro songs that we picked. His are
at least the most unique pop It's pretty unique. Not
always for good reasons, but yes, yeah, I agree with that.
(18:47):
We don't exactly want to play the full version of
the song, but it is it is unique what LeVar
is able to provide. By the way, speaking of unique,
LeVar and I did come up with a show name
for those of you that are just tuning in. Him
and I were talking because some people have called me
a vampire or Dracula whatnot, because I'm really pale, like
really pale like it's you know, I'm basically like a
(19:12):
roll of paper towels, just not a lot of it.
Just is what it is, a pale I don't know
what to tell you. Pasty paste to it clear almost, yeah,
And so some people have called me a vampire Dracula,
and so LaVar and I came up with a show name.
When we're hosting when Brady's out, We're going to be
(19:33):
called Black and Drack. Hell yeah, I mean, I listen,
I feel like that. You know, that's an accurate depiction
of both of us. So we will bring that back
on Monday, when Levarn and I are back on the
show together. So there's that, all right. We are going
to have another edition of Lee's Leftovers that'll be yours
(19:53):
here a little over fifteen minutes from now here on
Fox Sports Radio. By the way, for those of you
that were hoping to get rid of a certain somebody
in the NFL, in so many words, he basically said,
kiss my ass. Not happening. Just not gonna happen. And
he didn't even have to say it. Somebody else who
works in and around him and near him set it
(20:17):
for him. And that's somebody is Brian Rolip, who is
joining the PGA Tour as their CEO after spending twenty
two years with the NFL. Now he was considered a
likely successor to Roger Goodell if Goodell ever left roleapp
(20:37):
has been in his current position with the NFL since
twenty seventeen. He oversaw ad sales, sponsorships, and TV contracts,
which reportedly earned the NFL more than ten billion dollars
a season. So he's going to the PGA Tour. If
you're the PGA Tour, you got to feel good about this.
You're trying to add a little something wise, exposure wise.
(21:02):
This is a guy who's got a proven track record
in the NFL. Keep in mind that was done during
the COVID era as well, too, so to be able
to put up the numbers that he's been able to
put up with the NFL. It would stand a reason
and make a ton of sense why the NFL looked
at him as a potential successor to Roger Goodell. The
fact that he's leaving the NFL to go to the
(21:25):
PGA Tour when he is a likely successor to Roger
Goodell tells me, Yeah, Goodell ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
Ain't happening, And honestly, why would he. And we've talked
about this on the show before. You can be critical
(21:46):
of Roger Goodell for a lot of stuff. You can
be critical of him for a lot of stuff, whether
it's his handling of punishments in the NFL back in
the day, the ray Rii stuff. All of that is fair,
and there's a lot of criticism to hand out. But
where the NFL is at and how every league and
every sport is trying to play catch up, and all
(22:08):
the NFL does is keep distancing the lead between themselves
and everybody else, keeps widening the gap between themselves and
everybody else. Roger Goodell is the guy at the forefront
of that. And there might be some things you don't
like about the guy. There might be some issues you
have with him. You don't like the fact that he's,
you know, trying to ask for more games and trying
(22:29):
to do this, and maybe he's a little bit of
a hypocrite because years ago, he wouldn't let Tony Romo
host some fantasy football event in Vegas, and yet now
he's allowing gambling to be a part of it. I
get it, But Godell's not going anywhere. He's helped make
the owners so much money. When they talk about the
(22:51):
contract Cadell signs and the millions he makes each year,
I mean, that's a drop in the bucket in comparison
to the billions that owners are and every single year.
By way of the fact that Roger Goodell has built
a league that is success upon success upon success upon success.
(23:12):
They figured out a way to cover an entire calendar
every single two to three weeks. Every month, there's some
sort of an NFL event every month NFL event. We're
poking fun at the fact that we were reporting on
Dak Prescott's Mini camp members. Somebody was keeping tracks of
(23:36):
his throws. He was fifteen of nineteen and minik he
had four touchdowns, Like, what are we doing here? This
is mini camp, Like this is Ota stuff to June.
Why are we keeping track of that? You know why?
Because Roger Goodell's been at the forefront of bringing this
league the exposure it's gotten, and that's why because people
(24:00):
are interested in this. NFL training camps come up and
you've got people that'll camp out, they'll watch it. Trust me,
I'm with you. I'll watch all sorts of training camp stuff.
I'll watch the combine, I watch every second of the draft,
all the NFL store, free agency, everything they come up with.
I take in everything, and we all do. That's why
(24:24):
the money is there. That's why the numbers are there,
that's why the ratings are there. And that's because of
Roger Goodell. So the fact that you've got a guy
who is the successor potentially to Roger Goodell to take
over decided. Man, I'm not waiting around any longer. I'm out.
That tells you he's not going anywhere. It's why every
(24:45):
time an assistant left New England when Belichick was there,
every time an assistant was like, yeah, I'm gonna go
take this gig, It's like, well, I don't know, maybe
you should stick around be the successor. No, I'm gonna
take this gig. It's like, Oh, it's because Belichick's not
going anywhere anytime soon. Like Josh Daniel finally leaves and
McDaniels goes to Las Vegas. And that didn't work out.
He'd waited all that time to get another opportunity and
(25:06):
it didn't work out in Las Vegas. But it's like, man,
you could have been the successor here. He's like, manah,
but I just don't want to wait around any longer. Now,
as it turns out, wouldn't have been that much longer.
But I think roll Up was like, dude, I'm not like,
I see how this is going. I see the trajectory
were on. Everything that Roger Goodell touches has turned to
(25:28):
gold for the most part from a financial standpoint. And
although I have a big part in that, I'm never
going to get his gig because owners love what he
does for the league too much, and more importantly, loves
what he does for them too much. Jonas Noxi or
Fox Sports Radio Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
Here on FSR SO, Sean McVeigh, the head coach of
(25:49):
the La Rams, he was asked about the Aaron Rodgers flirtation.
Maybe there was a potential of Aaron Rodgers being the
quarterback of the La Rams. That was one of the
stories out there that you know, Aaron Rodgers was the
third choice for the Pittsburgh Steelers. You know, Rogers wanted
(26:10):
the Rams, they weren't interested. There was the Vikings, all
the other stories that was out there. So Sean McVay,
the head coach of the LA Rams, was asked about
Rogers potentially landing in Los Angeles and said this, Our.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
First priority, which was consistently communicated, was Hey, let's let's
work something out with Matthew.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
And we were very fortunate that it worked out that way.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
If that wasn't able to occur, then that was definitely
conversations and a possibility for us.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
I have a ton of respect.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
For the body of work, and I've gotten to know
Aaron and I really enjoy the conversations and just the approach,
the way that he thinks about the game and in life,
and so that was the possibility.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
But our first priority was always to be able to
get Matthew back.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
And what I do feel really fortunate about because I
think that we're closer than ever and I think sometimes
when you're able to have real conversations, I think you
can appreciate the love that's been built up, but also
the ability to be honest with one another.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
And I'm really glad that worked out and I wish.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
I know that there's a lot of people in Pittsburgh
that are really excited that that's finally come to fruition.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
And you know, I'm a big fan of his.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The Aaron Rodgers being the third option stuff, in my
mind is overblown, and I've said it before. And look,
a lot of people are like, oh, dude, you're just
an Aaron Rodgers ball. What all you do is kiss
up to Aaron Rodgers. Hey, listen, sorry for being loyal. Okay.
Our show was featured in the Aaron Rodgers Netflix documentary Okay,
(27:37):
and so sorry for being a little bit loyal to
the guy. But in all seriousness, when you hear the
conversation about Rogers, and you hear the conversation about Rogers
in Pittsburgh, and the story comes out that well, he
was their third choice, okay, can we can we break
down each of those choices, Like, let's break down each
(27:57):
of those choices and then let's have a disc because look, yeah, Rogers,
you know, the Rams were a possible fit. We heard
about the Vikings, and I like all these but let's
talk about like the the Pittsburgh Steelers and Sean McVay
pointing out. I know they're excited about Rogers, Okay, third choice?
Who was the first choice? Well, the Steelers wanted Matthew Stafford? Okay, okay,
(28:23):
so did the Giants Like so, I mean of course
they did, Like, yeah, they wanted Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford's
played better football, and you look at Stafford and you go,
he's probably got a little bit more in the tank
than maybe Rogers. Does I get it? Pittsburgh wanted Matthew Stafford.
They thought it would have been a good fit. That's fine,
(28:44):
But so what that's like saying, well, listen, Rogers was
the second choice. Well who was Pittsburgh first choice? Mahomes
ah dang? Okay, I got it all right, So Matthew
Stafford and then well they wanted Justin Field? Are how bad?
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Though?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
How bad did you actually want Justin Fields?
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
How bad did you actually want him? Last year when
you made the decision to go to Russell Wilson when
a lot of people didn't want to make the switch
to Russell Wilson you did, and then didn't go back
to Justin Fields when Russell Wilson was struggling late in
the year. Yeah, but they really wanted to bring back Justine. Okay,
if you wanted to bring back Justin Fields, why didn't you?
(29:32):
And to me, the more noteworthy part of that conversation
is the fact that Justin Fields chose the Jets over
the Steelers. That feels like something that should be and
looked at a little bit like why if the Steelers
actually wanted him and wanted him back and wanted him
to return, you can say, well, it was about guaranteed
(29:53):
dollars and whatnot. Who the hell knows? Point is it's
the Jets. Why, I mean, what are we talking about here?
It's the Jets. I can news for you. I've said
this before two of the more popular figures in Jets history,
(30:15):
one dressed in pantehose, the other had a foot fetish.
It's the Jets. So Justin Fields chose that over the Steelers.
All right, Well, is that a Steelers thing or is
that a Justin Fields thing? So the idea that Rogers
being the third choice and we're trying to find all,
you know, they struck out on all these other guys,
(30:37):
so they landed Aaron Rodderson. Dude. Of course they wanted
to try and get Stafford, so did a lot of
teams didn't happen, and Justin Fields made a decision to
go to the Jets and not stay with the Steelers.
That says more to me about Justin Field's decision making
and where he views himself at than it does Pittsburgh.
(30:57):
So while Sean mcvay's talking about, hey, listen, you know,
potentially maybe Rogers could have been a fit. You know,
maybe Matthew Stafford would have ended up in Pittsburgh and
Rodgers would have gone to LA I think I think
a lot of people, if you're just looking at this situation,
I know they want to find the flaw in bringing
in Aaron Rodgers. I get all that, but I think
(31:18):
there's probably people in Pittsburgh that are pretty relieved because
you swapped out George Pickens and Russell Wilson for Aaron
Rodgers and DK metcalf. That's really kind of what happened here. Now.
It makes the Jets Steelers match up Week one that
much more entertaining. There's a lot, you know, a lot
(31:38):
more juice to it now, and I think a lot
of people probably expected this move to happen, But some
of the feedback and the criticism over well they ended
up with They just they ended up with Aaron Rodgers. No,
they probably could have made some other moves elsewhere. The
fact that they got Aaron Rodgers, I don't think to
Sean mcvay's point, there's a lot of people in Pittsburgh,
(32:00):
or as many as you were hearing that are that
disappointed about it. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at

Jonas?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Happy Friday thirteenth to you, mister mister Dracula but earlier
in this hour, you had talked about Justin Turner playing
a little harmless joke on the fan of the game
cam unknowingly. Actually, but I happen to have audio of
this in case you want to take a listen to it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Awkward, It's it's quite awkward.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Indeed, take a listen.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Our man of the game, brought you by MIC's hard
lemonade with a love of lemonade, and it's you, just.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
You are a man of the game. Woo would shaw
me Jim Shaves are just laughing their ass off because
Justin turs jumping up and down with fake testicles on
television and they made him the fan.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Of the game. This all what I bet that's the first.
It's just nothing, nothing to say. Oh my god, it's
so good. It's so good. Oh man, what else? Well,
(35:03):
golly well, how.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
About a little update from the diddy Troll. You want
a little update from the diddy trill? I actually got
some audio for you. He had a loving nickname for
his ex Jane that was actually released in an audio
message from the court yesterday. Take a listen to what
he well, actually, it's bleeped out. Uh, I guess I'll
tell you afterwards. See if you could pick up on
what he's calling his his girlfriend Jane.
Speaker 9 (35:27):
Hey, baby, we had a great time staying the light.
It's all good. Get your rest. You are Pipe. That's
my new name for you, Pipe. What should I call you?
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Cep?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
But that's enough? But yeah, Cep or go ahead. I
was gonna say Chris Paul. But crack Pipe. Yeah, that's
his nickname or crack pipe.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Yes, a very endearing name he had for his his
ex that he had a had a summer fling with
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, I mean I've had worse. So I guess, uh,
you're you're my crow? Okay. Interesting. I mean there's a
lot of weird stuff, man, like this, that whole that
whole situation we talked yesterday about you know, the the
the role play details. It just it's it's well. I mean,
(36:29):
I thought the Johnny Depp amber Heard trial was weird
where it's like they're blaming each other on on you know,
whose feces and somebody tried to blame the dog on
like whose feces was in the bed and it's like, oh,
it's the dogs, Like no, that wasn't the dogs It's like, wait,
what you guys are blaming each other over what, like,
didn't Johnny Depp lose a finger? Didn't somebody cut off
(36:51):
a cut off Johnny Depp's finger or something like that.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah, they got in a fight and the bottle broke
and cut the tip of his finger off.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I thought all that was weird, And then you know,
twenty four hours later, Johnny Depp and his yellow teeth
aw a on a cologne commercial. Again, it's like, wow,
he survived did He's not surviving this one? And this
one is so weird that it makes that look like
just your normal, you know, trial you would see on
a Judge Judy rerun or something like that. Just the
(37:20):
whole thing is bananas, but people are into it. What
else we got is Judge Judy still going? I think
she is right.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
You don't even have to catch reruns.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I think she's still is she really?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I think?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
So? Good for her?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah she gets paid, she made a fortune. Oh yeah,
good for her. How about some stuff to watch this weekend?
How to Train Your Dragon the live action remake. I
actually caught it and it's fantastic. I'd give it five stars,
so out of five it was a little something for everybody,
what kids. How to Train Your Dragon came out like
in twenty ten, so fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You haven't seen this How to Train Your Dragon the original.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Which was an animated DreamWorks movie, and they've turned it
into a live action. Gerard Butler reprises his role as
the chief of this Vikings village that likes to kill
dragons but then learns to lovingly endear them and train them.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Because this doesn't even look like a dragon, looks like
a sock puppet. Yeah, do not talk about toothless that way. Yeah,
but like fix his eye, he's got a walalle eye.
Isn't a dragon supposed to be intimidating.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
There's different kinds of dragons. There's a whole bunch of
it's a whole it's a whole world of dragons.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Yeah, not a fan, not just based on the picture
I'm looking at right now that we will not watch that.
If I'm gonna show my son any sort of a
dragon movie, it'll probably be or any sort of a
dragon show would be Game of Thrones, preferably the Ice
Dragon with the blue eyes. Big fan of the Ice Dragon.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah, something that might be a little more up your
Alley you can catch on Netflix. Tighten the Ocean Gate Disaster,
a documentary about that submarine that went Oh my god
back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
By the way, how about the fact that they knew
that that thing had exploded well before they reported. Oh yeah,
like they they knew based because you heard a noise.
It showed up on like radar under the water and
they're looking around, going what was that, Like somebody's uh,
somebody's computer alert still on, like what was that? And
(39:15):
it was the it was the the thing exploding underwater imploding.
But yes, whatever nobody survived. I watched it.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
It was I thought it would be pretty bored. It
was actually pretty uh pretty interesting to found out some stuff.
That guy definitely had a you know, uh, he was
a delusional for sure. The CEO stalked and rushed.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Who thought that was a good idea? This guy who
who thought, Hey, let's go underwater in this tiny little tube,
everything will work out. Okay, it's a horrible idea. It's
gotta be more too, It's just a terrible idea. It
didn't make sense. I canta understand the Titanic. They were like, oh,
nice place. The wealthier here I mean, look at this.
(39:56):
I mean it's it's like a shopping mall on the water. Like,
I get that, that's the appeal. They literally got into
a thermos, went underwater and the thing exploded or imploded. Terrible.
All right, we'll be back Monday.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Did Brady do this again? Wasn't us?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think this might be a different part of the
popp it No, this is a different song.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Oh god, this is anything for clout.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I yeah, I had no part of We've never even
had the.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Song yet, have we? The song stinks too. I'll say
this as far as picking show open songs, I don't
know that Brady's ever had a good one. He's got
brutal taste. He's had one or two hits. Oh well,
(01:19):
that sucks. I was hoping for Pope. Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. No

We are going to take you all the way up

find this show on the iHeartRadio app. You can also
find us on hundreds of affiliates all across the country.
Those of you that maybe were listening earlier and are
(01:40):
now trying to figure it out, like, hey, we're Levargo.
He was here the first hour. Well, this is how
this works. They are called random ped test for a reason.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
At six point fifty five am Eastern time, LaVar Arrington
was administered a random test. At six point fifty six
am Eastern time, LaVar Arrington pissed hot. Can't be condoned,
(02:16):
so he will not be with us for the remainder
of the show. How to make the rules? And I
kind of do, but hey is what it is. Population
and as some people would say, tough balls. And speaking
of which, I would like to take this time to
defend somebody here on the show. I would like to
(02:36):
defend somebody. And for people listening on one of those
affiliates known as the Blowtorch AM five to seventy LA Sports,
you're going to know this individual very well, very popular figure.
When he was out here in Los Angeles, spent many years,
was a champion out here. And that's somebody is Justin Turner.
Justin Turner, who is living out maybe the final day
(03:00):
of his major league baseball career at forty years old,
and he is currently a role player with the Chicago Cubs.
He comes in a little bit of a bit of
a platoon situation, but he comes in great locker room guy,
great clubhouse guy. Everybody loves Justin Turner and anybody that's
followed the course of his career, anybody out here in
(03:20):
Los Angeles, you know, still very popular him and his wife,
the things they've done locally, just you cannot find anybody
this is a bad thing about Justin Turner. Everybody loves
Justin Turner. Well, Justin Turner finds himself a little bit
of an awkward predicament that really isn't his fault. Last
night during the Cubs Pirates game on Marquee Sports, and
(03:47):
I know because I was watching it with my son,
who's four years old. We're watching the game last night,
I believe it was intermission of the Stanley Cup Final,
which has been fantastic, and they decide to award something
called the fan of the game at Wrigley Field. Normally,
(04:09):
what they do is they'll find a fan in the
crowd and award that fan as fan of the game,
just kind of a little goofy you know thing Marquee
Sports does. Instead, what they did is they decided to
award it to a player, and the player they awarded
it to was Justin Turner. The problem is they showed
(04:31):
Justin Turner down in the clubhouse jumping up and down
to celebrate his teammates home run. That teammate is Saya Suzuki,
and apparently nobody at Marquee who was working the camera
or the production noticed that Justin Turner, while jumping up
and down, had a pair of fake testicles on while
(04:51):
doing so. And the best part is the guys call
the game, boog Shot and Jim Deshas, who are fantastic
by the way, they're one of the best duo calling
games anywhere. They just went silent. They showed Justin Turner
jumping up and down. He's got a pair of fake
(05:14):
truck nuts on, and they don't know what to do.
They literally just went silent. And I would have done
anything to be in the booth to see what was
going on, because I guarantee me, I guarantee they were
laughing their ass off. You had no choice. It was
(05:38):
so awkward for everybody, and I've spotted it in real time.
I'm like, wait, wait what. And you can find the
video if you go to social media. Just search Justin Turner. Okay,
just search Justin Turner and it's Tim jumping up and
down with a pair of fake nuts on. But the
(05:58):
problem is nobody noticed that, and they made him the
fan of the game. And there's no possible way that
anybody decided, hey, this will be a fun one. Let's do.
Let's do fan of the Game on Pride Night, no less,
with Justin Turner jumping up and down with fake testicles.
(06:20):
The whole thing was phenomenal, so unintentionally funny, and Boog
Shambie and Jim Desays literally couldn't speak. They had nothing
to say. They waited. It was really silent and really awkward,
and then they just continued calling the game. So I
(06:40):
would like to defend Justin Turner from the standpoint of, hey, listen,
clubhouse behavior. Probably shouldn't have been a camera on him,
They probably shouldn't have awarded him fan of the game.
If he's jumping around with any sort of male purse
between his legs while celebrating a teammates, Homer, yep, probably
should have had the camera there. It's why it's the
(07:02):
clubhouse and or locker room for elite for a reason.
There should be a little bit of privacy there. So
I just want to defend Justin Turner. Also give a
shout out to Fox Sports radio alum Cole Wright, who
is also working at Marquee Sports. He does a phenomenal job.
Cole's fantastic, so give a shout out to him as
well too. A member of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association.
(07:25):
I believe Ben Maller calls it, so congratulations to Cole,
he's been doing phenomenal there. And congratulations to whoever decided
to award Justin Turner the fan of the game and
didn't happen to pan down, you know, didn't happen to
pan down, And some people were speculating, are those really his? No,
(07:46):
that's the joke. So speaking of nuts, the Cincinnati Bengals
might even fall into that category because the Cincinnati Bengals
are like, you know what, got a franchise quarterback? We
got all this talent on offense, We've shown that we've
(08:08):
got the ability to go throw for throw with Patrick
Mahomes and actually beat him in the postseason in the playoffs.
We nearly won the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.
Some would argue, we probably should have won the Super Bowl,
but you know, we lost it it so far to
the Rams and Aaron Donald got his ring and Cooper Cup,
you know who apparently has shaved his beard now. Cooper
(08:28):
Cup is the MVP of the like all those things that.
But if you're the Bengals, you're like, man, listen, we're close.
We got this. And then they're like, huh, how could
we f this up?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I know, let's get into contract disputes with not only
one defensive player, but two, the latest being Shamar Stewart,
who decided, you know what, I'm out of here. I
don't like the fact that you guys are changing the
language on this deal when last year it wasn't the
same language. I'm not going to sign it. I'm not
signing anything. And so what makes us even more fun
(09:02):
is that on the Cincinnati Bengals, you have somebody who
knows a thing or two about the entire situation, and
that's somebody would be Bengals center and nfl PA vice
president Ted Karris, who defended both Shamar Stewart and his
other teammate Trey Hendrickson.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
It's not the best case scenario of how the spring
could have gone for our first round pick, but you know,
there is uh pretty serious business aspect to our profession.
And you know he's taken counsel from from his you
know camp, and you know, I don't The main thing
(09:39):
I want to say is I don't think to either
of our defensive ends that there's not any harboring resentment
in this locker room to them, I know, And I
really hope that both camps can figure this out because
we have a you know, we have a really good team.
We've had a super productive spring, and you know, you
just don't want this to carry over into into summer.
I think from a PA respective, always, we don't want
(10:02):
you know, language and contracts that are gonna be negative
to players. As far as guaranteed money, we're always trying
to you know, max the amount of guarantees that guys get.
So you know, it's a business negotiation, and you know,
I just I'm Uh, you know, I feel I feel
for Shamar that you know, he has to kind of
this is his first taste of the league with you know,
(10:23):
kind of a lot of hate. Hate on the internet,
not hate, but since he Twitter is a mess around,
so I, you know, I hope that he can come
and be super productive and fall and and kind of
get everyone back on the side.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So that was Ted Carris of the Cincinnati Bengals discussing
the uh, the contract issues there and the off season
the Bengals are currently going on. And also, you know,
Joe Burrows asked about it. Yeah, it's a distraction. Zach
Taylor's been asked about it. It's just there are and
we were discussing this earlier. There are franchises around the
(10:57):
NFL that would do anything for the problems of the
Cincinnati Bengals. Anything where if you were to ask a friend,
you'd pull them aside and say, hey, so here is
your problem, quote unquote. You've got a franchise quarterback, a
guy who's got the chance to be a Hall of Famer,
(11:17):
a guy who's been talked about. Troy Aikman has called
him maybe his favorite quarterback of all time. Everybody agrees
Joe Burrow's the guy you end up with him because
you sucked so bad the year prior. You've also been
able to work out a long term extension with him.
(11:39):
You've got Jamar Chase, who's one of the best wide receivers.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
In the air.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You've got all of this at your disposal. You've shown
the ability to beat the team that is the dynasty
of your era. You were the boogeyman potentially going into
the playoffs last year, so all of that is yours,
(12:04):
and you just get this feeling that somehow, Someway, the
Bengals are going to screw this up. They've got all
of this potential, all of this opportunity, the window is open,
and they're going to put a board over it somehow, Someway.
You just get that impression. You get that vibe. And
(12:26):
if I'm Bengals ownership, if I like, dude, figure out
a way to get Trey Hendrickson in the door and signed,
figure out a way to get Shamar Stewart's contract work
out and go back to the deal that was signed
last year. From a pre it's like, why why get
in the way of all this? And we've talked about
(12:46):
it on the show before. Some organizations cannot help themselves.
Do you want an NBA comp for you? How about
the New York Knicks, who put the nick in nickel
and dime with the way that they operate. And you
should have known that this is exactly how the Knicks
(13:07):
were going to operate, based on the way that they
celebrated after getting past the second round. And I was
on record, and Knicks fans got upset about it and
got pissy about it because I pointed out the fact that,
you know, it is kind of pathetic. This is supposed
to be Madison Square Guard and this is supposed to
be the Knicks. This is supposed to be New York.
This is market number one. Blah blah blah blah blah.
(13:30):
And the Knicks operated like the Sacramento Kings did years
ago when they hung a Summer League title banner up
at the arena. You got past the second round and
people were climbing stuff in the streets, and then two
wins later, you fire your coach. But don't worry, they've
(13:54):
got a plan. If you don't believe me, believe the
Hall of Famer Charles Barkley. He was on NBA TV
and Charles Barkley spoke about this quote unquote plan by
the New York Knicks.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
The Knicks gotta be the stupidest damn people.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
In the world.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Like, you don't find no good coach like that and
don't have a plan. I mean, it's Tips did a
hell of a job. Obviously sum's going on now, but
you don't have a plan now the three coaches turn
you down. You gotta have a plan, man, And they
don't have a plan now. I mean, I don't know
(14:33):
what the hell they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Nobody does. Nobody does. But it's funny because all these
Knicks fanboys who want to defend the team are like, oh, listen,
don't worry about it. They got an idea, they know
exactly what they're doing. Oh yeah, what's that Now they're
gonna they're gonna target this guy and that guy and
(14:56):
with with, with with. They have no idea what the
hell they're doing. They accomplished something they hadn't done in
a quarter century and then decided, now we got to
make changes. Okay, how's that going? But Dori, you got
(15:20):
your guy. They got their guy. They they had an
idea and they got their guy. Nah. Not really, and
it was supposed to be feel good time for the Knicks. Remember,
like this was the brand new Knicks. Remember James Dolan
was nowhere to be found. Like JD in the straight shot,
I think we're doing a cover sets at some local
(15:40):
pub in Manhattan somewhere, you know, a couple of blocks
like they were nowhere to be found. I don't even
know if he was at the games. Nobody talked about
the Charles Oakley stuff. Nobody's even bringing up the fact that,
you know, Tracy Morgan, who's basically Nostradamus. Tracy Morgan blue
chunks on the court during game, which might have been
(16:01):
an indication that, like, hey, guys, I know this seems
cool and all right now, but it's gonna go poorly.
Guy just lost his lunch and it looked like he
lost the previous three lunches as well too. But don't worry.
The Knicks are making a run.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
You had Timothy Champagne or whatever his name is, show
up with one of the Kardashians. Everybody, all, guy, it's god,
the Knicks are back. The Knicks are back, and then
they fire their head coach that got them to a
place they hadn't been in a quarter century. But but
they got a plan. They got everything's gonna be fine.
(16:36):
The Knicks got this, they got it figured out. And
it's almost as if James Dolan was like, you know what, man,
you guys are doing way too good and I'm nowhere
to be found. I want to put my my fingerprints
on this. I want to make my mark. Okay, how's
that going. It's like the Bengals have a window here,
(16:57):
an opportunity, and somehow, some way you just get the
field and they're gonna screw it up. The Knicks do
something they hadn't done in twenty five years, and somehow,
some way they're gonna screw it up. They can't help themselves.
(17:18):
This is the way they operate. And that's why when
organizations get labeled as dysfunctional or theirs skepticism about an
organization from the quote unquote national media, the people locally
get all upset and all hot and bothered about it.
It's like, dude, take a step back and look at
the big picture and it's going to tell you everything
(17:38):
you need to know. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio.
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here
on FSR. By the way, you can get me on
x IF if you'd like, at the Jonas Knox. You
can also follow along on Instagram as well too at
Jonas Knox Show here on This Football Friday. Coming up
next here though, we are going to tell you the
story about somebody in the NFL. Somebody in the NFL
(18:03):
that apparently ain't going anywhere anytime soon, and we've got
the proof right here at FSR.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
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 Two.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio. I
would say, if I got to be honest, Levar's had
the most memorable intro songs that we picked. His are
at least the most unique pop It's pretty unique. Not
always for good reasons, but yes, yeah, I agree with that.
(18:47):
We don't exactly want to play the full version of
the song, but it is it is unique what LeVar
is able to provide. By the way, speaking of unique,
LeVar and I did come up with a show name
for those of you that are just tuning in. Him
and I were talking because some people have called me
a vampire or Dracula whatnot, because I'm really pale, like
really pale like it's you know, I'm basically like a
(19:12):
roll of paper towels, just not a lot of it.
Just is what it is, a pale I don't know
what to tell you. Pasty paste to it clear almost, yeah,
And so some people have called me a vampire Dracula,
and so LaVar and I came up with a show name.
When we're hosting when Brady's out, We're going to be
(19:33):
called Black and Drack. Hell yeah, I mean, I listen,
I feel like that. You know, that's an accurate depiction
of both of us. So we will bring that back
on Monday, when Levarn and I are back on the
show together. So there's that, all right. We are going
to have another edition of Lee's Leftovers that'll be yours
(19:53):
here a little over fifteen minutes from now here on
Fox Sports Radio. By the way, for those of you
that were hoping to get rid of a certain somebody
in the NFL, in so many words, he basically said,
kiss my ass. Not happening. Just not gonna happen. And
he didn't even have to say it. Somebody else who
works in and around him and near him set it
(20:17):
for him. And that's somebody is Brian Rolip, who is
joining the PGA Tour as their CEO after spending twenty
two years with the NFL. Now he was considered a
likely successor to Roger Goodell if Goodell ever left roleapp
(20:37):
has been in his current position with the NFL since
twenty seventeen. He oversaw ad sales, sponsorships, and TV contracts,
which reportedly earned the NFL more than ten billion dollars
a season. So he's going to the PGA Tour. If
you're the PGA Tour, you got to feel good about this.
You're trying to add a little something wise, exposure wise.
(21:02):
This is a guy who's got a proven track record
in the NFL. Keep in mind that was done during
the COVID era as well, too, so to be able
to put up the numbers that he's been able to
put up with the NFL. It would stand a reason
and make a ton of sense why the NFL looked
at him as a potential successor to Roger Goodell. The
fact that he's leaving the NFL to go to the
(21:25):
PGA Tour when he is a likely successor to Roger
Goodell tells me, Yeah, Goodell ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
Ain't happening, And honestly, why would he. And we've talked
about this on the show before. You can be critical
(21:46):
of Roger Goodell for a lot of stuff. You can
be critical of him for a lot of stuff, whether
it's his handling of punishments in the NFL back in
the day, the ray Rii stuff. All of that is fair,
and there's a lot of criticism to hand out. But
where the NFL is at and how every league and
every sport is trying to play catch up, and all
(22:08):
the NFL does is keep distancing the lead between themselves
and everybody else, keeps widening the gap between themselves and
everybody else. Roger Goodell is the guy at the forefront
of that. And there might be some things you don't
like about the guy. There might be some issues you
have with him. You don't like the fact that he's,
you know, trying to ask for more games and trying
(22:29):
to do this, and maybe he's a little bit of
a hypocrite because years ago, he wouldn't let Tony Romo
host some fantasy football event in Vegas, and yet now
he's allowing gambling to be a part of it. I
get it, But Godell's not going anywhere. He's helped make
the owners so much money. When they talk about the
(22:51):
contract Cadell signs and the millions he makes each year,
I mean, that's a drop in the bucket in comparison
to the billions that owners are and every single year.
By way of the fact that Roger Goodell has built
a league that is success upon success upon success upon success.
(23:12):
They figured out a way to cover an entire calendar
every single two to three weeks. Every month, there's some
sort of an NFL event every month NFL event. We're
poking fun at the fact that we were reporting on
Dak Prescott's Mini camp members. Somebody was keeping tracks of
(23:36):
his throws. He was fifteen of nineteen and minik he
had four touchdowns, Like, what are we doing here? This
is mini camp, Like this is Ota stuff to June.
Why are we keeping track of that? You know why?
Because Roger Goodell's been at the forefront of bringing this
league the exposure it's gotten, and that's why because people
(24:00):
are interested in this. NFL training camps come up and
you've got people that'll camp out, they'll watch it. Trust me,
I'm with you. I'll watch all sorts of training camp stuff.
I'll watch the combine, I watch every second of the draft,
all the NFL store, free agency, everything they come up with.
I take in everything, and we all do. That's why
(24:24):
the money is there. That's why the numbers are there,
that's why the ratings are there. And that's because of
Roger Goodell. So the fact that you've got a guy
who is the successor potentially to Roger Goodell to take
over decided. Man, I'm not waiting around any longer. I'm out.
That tells you he's not going anywhere. It's why every
(24:45):
time an assistant left New England when Belichick was there,
every time an assistant was like, yeah, I'm gonna go
take this gig, It's like, well, I don't know, maybe
you should stick around be the successor. No, I'm gonna
take this gig. It's like, Oh, it's because Belichick's not
going anywhere anytime soon. Like Josh Daniel finally leaves and
McDaniels goes to Las Vegas. And that didn't work out.
He'd waited all that time to get another opportunity and
(25:06):
it didn't work out in Las Vegas. But it's like, man,
you could have been the successor here. He's like, manah,
but I just don't want to wait around any longer. Now,
as it turns out, wouldn't have been that much longer.
But I think roll Up was like, dude, I'm not like,
I see how this is going. I see the trajectory
were on. Everything that Roger Goodell touches has turned to
(25:28):
gold for the most part from a financial standpoint. And
although I have a big part in that, I'm never
going to get his gig because owners love what he
does for the league too much, and more importantly, loves
what he does for them too much. Jonas Noxi or
Fox Sports Radio Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
Here on FSR SO, Sean McVeigh, the head coach of
(25:49):
the La Rams, he was asked about the Aaron Rodgers flirtation.
Maybe there was a potential of Aaron Rodgers being the
quarterback of the La Rams. That was one of the
stories out there that you know, Aaron Rodgers was the
third choice for the Pittsburgh Steelers. You know, Rogers wanted
(26:10):
the Rams, they weren't interested. There was the Vikings, all
the other stories that was out there. So Sean McVay,
the head coach of the LA Rams, was asked about
Rogers potentially landing in Los Angeles and said this, Our.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
First priority, which was consistently communicated, was Hey, let's let's
work something out with Matthew.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
And we were very fortunate that it worked out that way.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
If that wasn't able to occur, then that was definitely
conversations and a possibility for us.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
I have a ton of respect.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
For the body of work, and I've gotten to know
Aaron and I really enjoy the conversations and just the approach,
the way that he thinks about the game and in life,
and so that was the possibility.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
But our first priority was always to be able to
get Matthew back.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
And what I do feel really fortunate about because I
think that we're closer than ever and I think sometimes
when you're able to have real conversations, I think you
can appreciate the love that's been built up, but also
the ability to be honest with one another.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
And I'm really glad that worked out and I wish.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
I know that there's a lot of people in Pittsburgh
that are really excited that that's finally come to fruition.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
And you know, I'm a big fan of his.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The Aaron Rodgers being the third option stuff, in my
mind is overblown, and I've said it before. And look,
a lot of people are like, oh, dude, you're just
an Aaron Rodgers ball. What all you do is kiss
up to Aaron Rodgers. Hey, listen, sorry for being loyal. Okay.
Our show was featured in the Aaron Rodgers Netflix documentary Okay,
(27:37):
and so sorry for being a little bit loyal to
the guy. But in all seriousness, when you hear the
conversation about Rogers, and you hear the conversation about Rogers
in Pittsburgh, and the story comes out that well, he
was their third choice, okay, can we can we break
down each of those choices, Like, let's break down each
(27:57):
of those choices and then let's have a disc because look, yeah, Rogers,
you know, the Rams were a possible fit. We heard
about the Vikings, and I like all these but let's
talk about like the the Pittsburgh Steelers and Sean McVay
pointing out. I know they're excited about Rogers, Okay, third choice?
Who was the first choice? Well, the Steelers wanted Matthew Stafford? Okay, okay,
(28:23):
so did the Giants Like so, I mean of course
they did, Like, yeah, they wanted Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford's
played better football, and you look at Stafford and you go,
he's probably got a little bit more in the tank
than maybe Rogers. Does I get it? Pittsburgh wanted Matthew Stafford.
They thought it would have been a good fit. That's fine,
(28:44):
But so what that's like saying, well, listen, Rogers was
the second choice. Well who was Pittsburgh first choice? Mahomes
ah dang? Okay, I got it all right, So Matthew
Stafford and then well they wanted Justin Field? Are how bad?
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Though?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
How bad did you actually want Justin Fields?
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
How bad did you actually want him? Last year when
you made the decision to go to Russell Wilson when
a lot of people didn't want to make the switch
to Russell Wilson you did, and then didn't go back
to Justin Fields when Russell Wilson was struggling late in
the year. Yeah, but they really wanted to bring back Justine. Okay,
if you wanted to bring back Justin Fields, why didn't you?
(29:32):
And to me, the more noteworthy part of that conversation
is the fact that Justin Fields chose the Jets over
the Steelers. That feels like something that should be and
looked at a little bit like why if the Steelers
actually wanted him and wanted him back and wanted him
to return, you can say, well, it was about guaranteed
(29:53):
dollars and whatnot. Who the hell knows? Point is it's
the Jets. Why, I mean, what are we talking about here?
It's the Jets. I can news for you. I've said
this before two of the more popular figures in Jets history,
(30:15):
one dressed in pantehose, the other had a foot fetish.
It's the Jets. So Justin Fields chose that over the Steelers.
All right, Well, is that a Steelers thing or is
that a Justin Fields thing? So the idea that Rogers
being the third choice and we're trying to find all,
you know, they struck out on all these other guys,
(30:37):
so they landed Aaron Rodderson. Dude. Of course they wanted
to try and get Stafford, so did a lot of
teams didn't happen, and Justin Fields made a decision to
go to the Jets and not stay with the Steelers.
That says more to me about Justin Field's decision making
and where he views himself at than it does Pittsburgh.
(30:57):
So while Sean mcvay's talking about, hey, listen, you know,
potentially maybe Rogers could have been a fit. You know,
maybe Matthew Stafford would have ended up in Pittsburgh and
Rodgers would have gone to LA I think I think
a lot of people, if you're just looking at this situation,
I know they want to find the flaw in bringing
in Aaron Rodgers. I get all that, but I think
(31:18):
there's probably people in Pittsburgh that are pretty relieved because
you swapped out George Pickens and Russell Wilson for Aaron
Rodgers and DK metcalf. That's really kind of what happened here. Now.
It makes the Jets Steelers match up Week one that
much more entertaining. There's a lot, you know, a lot
(31:38):
more juice to it now, and I think a lot
of people probably expected this move to happen, But some
of the feedback and the criticism over well they ended
up with They just they ended up with Aaron Rodgers. No,
they probably could have made some other moves elsewhere. The
fact that they got Aaron Rodgers, I don't think to
Sean mcvay's point, there's a lot of people in Pittsburgh,
(32:00):
or as many as you were hearing that are that
disappointed about it. Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio at

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Happy Friday thirteenth to you, mister mister Dracula but earlier
in this hour, you had talked about Justin Turner playing
a little harmless joke on the fan of the game
cam unknowingly. Actually, but I happen to have audio of
this in case you want to take a listen to it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Awkward, It's it's quite awkward.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Indeed, take a listen.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Our man of the game, brought you by MIC's hard
lemonade with a love of lemonade, and it's you, just.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
You are a man of the game. Woo would shaw
me Jim Shaves are just laughing their ass off because
Justin turs jumping up and down with fake testicles on
television and they made him the fan.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Of the game. This all what I bet that's the first.
It's just nothing, nothing to say. Oh my god, it's
so good. It's so good. Oh man, what else? Well,
(35:03):
golly well, how.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
About a little update from the diddy Troll. You want
a little update from the diddy trill? I actually got
some audio for you. He had a loving nickname for
his ex Jane that was actually released in an audio
message from the court yesterday. Take a listen to what
he well, actually, it's bleeped out. Uh, I guess I'll
tell you afterwards. See if you could pick up on
what he's calling his his girlfriend Jane.
Speaker 9 (35:27):
Hey, baby, we had a great time staying the light.
It's all good. Get your rest. You are Pipe. That's
my new name for you, Pipe. What should I call you?
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Cep?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
But that's enough? But yeah, Cep or go ahead. I
was gonna say Chris Paul. But crack Pipe. Yeah, that's
his nickname or crack pipe.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Yes, a very endearing name he had for his his
ex that he had a had a summer fling with
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, I mean I've had worse. So I guess, uh,
you're you're my crow? Okay. Interesting. I mean there's a
lot of weird stuff, man, like this, that whole that
whole situation we talked yesterday about you know, the the
the role play details. It just it's it's well. I mean,
(36:29):
I thought the Johnny Depp amber Heard trial was weird
where it's like they're blaming each other on on you know,
whose feces and somebody tried to blame the dog on
like whose feces was in the bed and it's like, oh,
it's the dogs, Like no, that wasn't the dogs It's like, wait,
what you guys are blaming each other over what, like,
didn't Johnny Depp lose a finger? Didn't somebody cut off
(36:51):
a cut off Johnny Depp's finger or something like that.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah, they got in a fight and the bottle broke
and cut the tip of his finger off.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I thought all that was weird, And then you know,
twenty four hours later, Johnny Depp and his yellow teeth
aw a on a cologne commercial. Again, it's like, wow,
he survived did He's not surviving this one? And this
one is so weird that it makes that look like
just your normal, you know, trial you would see on
a Judge Judy rerun or something like that. Just the
(37:20):
whole thing is bananas, but people are into it. What
else we got is Judge Judy still going? I think
she is right.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
You don't even have to catch reruns.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I think she's still is she really?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I think?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
So? Good for her?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah she gets paid, she made a fortune. Oh yeah,
good for her. How about some stuff to watch this weekend?
How to Train Your Dragon the live action remake. I
actually caught it and it's fantastic. I'd give it five stars,
so out of five it was a little something for everybody,
what kids. How to Train Your Dragon came out like
in twenty ten, so fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
You haven't seen this How to Train Your Dragon the original.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Which was an animated DreamWorks movie, and they've turned it
into a live action. Gerard Butler reprises his role as
the chief of this Vikings village that likes to kill
dragons but then learns to lovingly endear them and train them.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Because this doesn't even look like a dragon, looks like
a sock puppet. Yeah, do not talk about toothless that way. Yeah,
but like fix his eye, he's got a walalle eye.
Isn't a dragon supposed to be intimidating.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
There's different kinds of dragons. There's a whole bunch of
it's a whole it's a whole world of dragons.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Yeah, not a fan, not just based on the picture
I'm looking at right now that we will not watch that.
If I'm gonna show my son any sort of a
dragon movie, it'll probably be or any sort of a
dragon show would be Game of Thrones, preferably the Ice
Dragon with the blue eyes. Big fan of the Ice Dragon.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah, something that might be a little more up your
Alley you can catch on Netflix. Tighten the Ocean Gate Disaster,
a documentary about that submarine that went Oh my god
back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
By the way, how about the fact that they knew
that that thing had exploded well before they reported. Oh yeah,
like they they knew based because you heard a noise.
It showed up on like radar under the water and
they're looking around, going what was that, Like somebody's uh,
somebody's computer alert still on, like what was that? And
(39:15):
it was the it was the the thing exploding underwater imploding.
But yes, whatever nobody survived. I watched it.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
It was I thought it would be pretty bored. It
was actually pretty uh pretty interesting to found out some stuff.
That guy definitely had a you know, uh, he was
a delusional for sure. The CEO stalked and rushed.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Who thought that was a good idea? This guy who
who thought, Hey, let's go underwater in this tiny little tube,
everything will work out. Okay, it's a horrible idea. It's
gotta be more too, It's just a terrible idea. It
didn't make sense. I canta understand the Titanic. They were like, oh,
nice place. The wealthier here I mean, look at this.
(39:56):
I mean it's it's like a shopping mall on the water. Like,
I get that, that's the appeal. They literally got into
a thermos, went underwater and the thing exploded or imploded. Terrible.
All right, we'll be back Monday.
