Thank god for the Internet.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So last night was kind of a kind of a
wild night for a group of people in the world
of sports. Okay, you had a lot going on, all right,
there were some really good games. It was kind of
a pain in the ass. And maybe there's an option
for this and I'm not aware of, but it was
kind of a pain in the ass that you had
the football game on Amazon Prime and then you had
the baseball games elsewhere because normally, because one of the
(01:59):
great things about YouTube TV is that you can do
the multi screen, so you can get a baseball game
here or a football game there. You're like, you got
all sorts of stuff going on, you know in my house,
you know, you got to work in like Univision or
telemoondo just to make everybody happy. But point is, at
least you got options last night you had to watch
one on the phone, you gotta watch the other and
(02:21):
listen again. Maybe there's an option for this, all right.
Maybe I'm not versed enough as to know to how
that works. Maybe there's some sort of an illegal streamer.
But I don't like to do things illegally, Okay, try
and avoid that. Trying to be an example for the
for the little one. So you're watching last night and
you're like, man, this is great action you've got. You know,
major the MLB playoffs, which are the best of the
(02:42):
best in my opinion, Like, I will take the Major
League Baseball playoffs over any other sport NHL included. All right,
for all you puck faces out there, I said, puck
with a p all right, I'll take the MLB playoffs personally.
That's just my opinion. But then you add the NFL
game well too, And it was surprising, and you're looking
and we were mentioning this earlier. There's like a couple
(03:04):
of stories here with this game, all right. Story one,
if you want to start optimistic, because we got plenty
of stuff not to be optimistic about coming up here shortly.
But story one, you look at the Giants, you go, oh,
my God, there's some juice there, Like, you got Jackson Dart,
who's got all sorts of show, all sorts of bizazz.
(03:27):
Guys wearn a necklace with a turtleneck. Okay, you got
Cam Scataboo said it earlier. He's like the white Craig
Ironhead Hayward. Literally neither one of them cares about their
well being at all. Jackson Dart launched himself into some
(03:49):
guy like a human javelin last thing, didn't even care.
Cam Scataboo is doing backflips, he's surfing like he is
looking for contact, like he's not trying to get away
from it. There's no avoiding tackles. He's like, where's a tackle?
Where is this a puzzle here? Let me get your
numbers up, Like he's helping defenders everywhere. Like, if you're
(04:11):
a defender and you want to break the tackle record
this season, play the Giants. Because he is looking to
get tackled. He is looking for contact. But the entire
mood of the Giants has changed everything. Brian Dapall, all
of a sudden, it went from yeah, you know Russell,
you know Russell is our starter, and you know we
(04:32):
gotta do things better. About Russell Wilson and we gotta,
we gotta, you know, surround him with this, and we
got to do more for him here, we gotta. And
now all of a sudden, he's like getting in the
face of the team doctor because Jackson Dart might be
concussed and he wants him back in the game. The
entire mood of the New York Giants has changed. And
whether you think this means that they're going to go
(04:55):
on a run here, I personally don't. I still don't
think they're very good, but at least we can agree
on there's some juice there now. Whatever it is that
Jackson Dart and Cam Skataboo, whatever they do for that team,
it's real. There's a vibe around them. There's an energy
around them that wasn't there before. It just wasn't because
(05:19):
the conversations we were having about Brian Daball and Joe
Shane and all that was like, hey man, like how
much longer these guys got. Because it's real bad when
you're real bad, But it's real bad when the people
that weren't good enough for you go elsewhere and they're
real good aka Saquon Barkley last year, aka Daniel Jones
(05:41):
this year and now, all of a sudden, in the
matter of a couple of weeks, the conversation, the mood,
the energy, everything has changed around the New York Giants.
So where you're looking at it going, Hey, man, I
don't know what this turns in New I don't know
how much longer Jackson, Dart and Cam Scattaboo can play
this way, but at least there's something there. Here's your
bright side. And then there's the night that Philadelphia sports
(06:06):
fans had. You know, like, if you're gonna tell a story,
you gotta have both sides. If you want an accurate
depiction of how things go, you gotta have both sides.
You got your smiles and then you got your frowns.
And last night, starting with the NFL, it was a
lot of the same for the Philadelphia Eagles. They're just
(06:28):
not very entertaining and apparently on offense, it just hasn't
always been all that good this season. Nick Sirianni, the
head coach afterwards, a guy who is willing to let
everybody know, much like Eagles fans, exactly what he thinks
of them and how good their team is, took on
(06:50):
a different tone following that performance last night at MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Obviously, you know anytime, you know, I think there were
some good moments in the run game today, got ourselves
behind the sticks a little bit in the second half
on some some of some of the runs there. So
we'll look at everything right there. You know, we we know,
we we know we have the guys up front to
(07:14):
be able to do that. Obviously, we got to we
got to do a good job putting them in positions
to succeed, and then we got to go execute.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, I would say that, yeah, that would probably help.
Whatever it is that they got going on on offense
doesn't look good and it doesn't sound good, and nobody's
got an explanation. Jalen Hurts is talking afterwards with like
some you know, thirty five thousand dollars painters hat on
talking about, well, you know, I got to look inward
(07:42):
and I need to be better. And AJ Brown that
whole thing is odd. You've got Saquon Barkley and Jalen
Hurts saying that they all got together and had a meeting.
AJ Brown afterwards saying, I don't know anything about a meeting.
It's just the whole thing feels weird, it feels strange,
(08:04):
But the good news is at least you got the Phillies. Oops,
that's gone too and done. This tell you everything you
need to know. You remember back in twenty seventeen, the
Eagles won a Super Bowl and there were videos that
came out. Some guy punched a police horse. Another guy
(08:29):
was on the ground and like a Randall Cunningham throwback,
eating crap off the sidewalk, and people are like, how
can they act like this? They're climbing light poles and
they're throwing things like why do Philly fans act like this? Well,
this is why. This is why. Because they know this world,
(08:50):
and they know this world is a cruel son of
a bitch. They realized that, hey, man, enjoy it. Why
you got it? Be obnoxious because there is a reality
on the other side of things that isn't pretty. We
are capable of this. In the same night, we made
the awful Giants look like the team with the brightest
(09:15):
future in the league while simultaneously urinating and defecating away
a game against the Dodgers that we probably should have
won and should have forced a game five. That's why
they act like that. It's like seeing a kid who alway,
(09:37):
like you're like, man, what why is this kid like
so erradic at school? Like why is he? You know,
I don't understand, like what's what's going on here? Like
why does he behave like that like he did, like
screaming at the top of his lungs and what It's
like it just like an emotional roles what's going on here?
And then you find out, well, he doesn't listen, you
know that the dad left the mom because the mom
(09:58):
had an affair with the neighbor's dog.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Like it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's just like there's all sorts of stuff going on. Huh, yeah,
there's just such things happening, you know. It's just like
weird stuff, you know, like they raise cats they can
eat them like it just there's just weird things. And
then you look at it, you go, oh, that explains it.
Last night explains and tells you everything you need to
(10:22):
know about why Philly fans act the way they do
because they realize, hey, man, like there's a lot of
things that could go on here and a lot of
things that could go wrong, and everything went wrong last
night for Philly fans. Everything like you've got players on
the Eagles giving mixed messages as to whether or not
(10:45):
they had team meetings. Okay, Jalen Carter reportedly didn't play
in the game last night because they were worried about
the MetLife turf. Saquon Barkley's like, yeah, we got to
get back to the to the attitude we had last year.
Nick Sirian all of a sudden, sounds like a guy
who is a shell of himself based on where he
was earlier this season and how he was taught. I
(11:07):
mean last you know, a couple of weeks ago, he
was talking about the tush push and how fun it
was and they could do all. And that team, for
the first time in almost two years, just lost consecutive games.
Think about that. That is the run the Eagles have
been on. The Eagles have not lost consecutive games since
(11:30):
the end of the twenty twenty three season. And if
I'm not mistaken, I believe Jason Kelsey was still playing then.
That's how long it's been. But the mood around that
team now, who also, by the way, just won a
super Bowl, okay, and just lost their first game in
like three hundred days. The mood around that team now
(11:52):
is like, oh my god, what a disaster, What a
complete disaster. And on the same night the phil melt
away at Dodger Stadium. If you ever wanted to know,
why why do you do the things you do? Why
do you behave the way you behave? Why are you
(12:12):
the way that you are? All you got to do
is look into the history, look into the past. And
apparently in Philadelphia you don't even have to look that
far because it is a literal roller coaster of emotions,
and last night it gave you all the pitfalls that
come with being a Philly sports fan. Two pros and
(12:33):
a cup of Joe. Here Fox Sports Radio Jonas Knox solo,

That's why you can trust Kills Primers for a smooth

Home Depot. If you're a pro, you know, sponsored by
(12:56):
the Home Depot. All right, it's coming up next here
on the show, we are going to tell you about
how the NFL, you know, like, for whatever reason, they
just want to remind you of everything they do wrong.
You know, it's really weird. They just run like the
NFL's got this thing. They just want to remind you
of everything they do wrong. I've got the proof of that,
and it's yours right here on FSR.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
He's Mike Krmen, I'm Dan Bayern. We have a fantasy

Speaker 4 (13:46):
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 1 (14:01):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio.
No LeVar Arrington, no Brady Quinn, last man standing here
on the show, Jonas knocks with you here as we
take you all the way up until the end of
this hour nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific. I mean, look,
we were trying to kick around some ideas earlier, like
(14:22):
what do you do if you are a Philly sports
fan and you're trying to just avoid anything sports related
because the the Eagles melted down last night, I didn't
melt down. They looked awful, and then the Phillies melted down,
though plenty of opportunities in that game. By the way,
(14:43):
you want to know how good and you know, you
can check this out with the great Tim Kats, who
will be hosting on the Blowtorch Am five to seventy
LA Sports coming up after we're off the area here
locally on five seventy. But you want to know how
great Shoe Aotani is in the midst of being one
for seventeen in the series, like he's been dreadful, in
(15:06):
the midst of all that, they've still walked him to
load the bases with Mookie Bets right behind him. The
Phillies are like, you know what, even though show hey,
Otani's got a hole in his bat, he's so good
that we're willing to walk the bases loaded to get
(15:26):
to another guy. Who's one of the best players in baseball.
So it's like that, that's how good show Atani is unbelievable.
And of course you know Philly was on the other
end of things. So I again, I'm trying to find options.
I'm not trying to swim in the negative side of
the pool here. I'm looking. I'm looking out for Philly fans.
I'm trying to let him know. Hey, listen, you got
(15:46):
something else you got to do. Go to a pumpkin patch,
all right? Good. You know, if you were planning on
a Halloween party in two weeks, throw it now, Like
go to a go go pick apples at an orchard somewhere, like,
do whatever you gotta do to get your mind off
the fact that it is a miserable existence right now
for you. Or just go watch you know, the World
(16:08):
Series from like, you know, two thousand and eight, or
watch the Super Bowl from last year. You know there's options,
YouTube's there. Or you just put some Louisiana Hot Sauce
on things. The original Louisiana Hot Sauce is the perfect
balance of Pepper's vinegar and salt, wings, nachos, burgers, hit
any tailgate food with the bold, handcrafted flavor of the
original Louisiana Hot sauce. That's Louisiana Hot. Buy you some.
(16:31):
I did like what the NFL did yesterday, because raise
your hand, right, and even the people driving raise your hand.
If you were wondering, hey, what are they doing with
the Pro Bowl this year? Yeah, nobody raised their hand.
(16:51):
Everybody's safe on the roads right, two hands on the
steering wheel, ten and two. Everyone's fine because nobody cares.
Nobody cares. Nobody cares about the Pro Bowl, Nobody cares
about the NBA All Star Game, nobody cares about the
NHL Skills Challenge or whatever they're trying. Nobody cares, including
(17:13):
the only league that does it the right way is
Major League Baseball because it's the only sport that you
can do kind of halfway and it still resembles what
it looks like normally. Nobody gives a rip about the
NFL and their Pro Bowl. They don't care. According to
Ben Fisher of Sports Business Journal, the Pro Bowl games
(17:35):
will now become part of Super Bowl Week and they
will be staged in the Super Bowl host city.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You don't say.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
He also says it's going to be more of a
made for TV production than a live event with a
large audience. Okay. The league confirmed Fisher in a statement
that it has been talking to ESPN, the NFLPA, and
individual players about a Reimagine Pro Bowl to cap the
twenty twenty five season. Quote. We'll share more in the
(18:06):
coming weeks, but our focus is a best in class
all star event that celebrates the league's top players, deepens
fan engagement, and spotlights flag football, especially in light of
confirming player participation in the LA twenty eight Olympic Games.
The league told Fisher, cool, why is this being brought
(18:29):
up now? We're in the middle of the NFL season.
You got all sorts of stuff going on, You got
all sorts of storylines. Even the worst teams in the
NFL have a storyline attached to them. You could go
literally go through every and this is what's great about
the NFL. You could go through every single team in
(18:52):
the league and find something interesting attached to all of them.
Just spin the wheel, spin the wheel of NFL teams.
Pull a bad team out of the bunch. Oh, the
New York Jets, no problem. The only team in the NFL,
by the way, with a defensive head coach who is
(19:13):
yet to force a turnover.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That's it. The Jests are done.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Spin it again, run it, spin it again. All the
Tennessee Titans. Oh, don't worry. They got a huge matchup
this weekend. Who are they playing? Spin it again? Yeah?
(19:40):
The Raiders. Yeah, that's the big matchup. Like, that's boy,
because tickets are going to be flying for those that
that's gonna be one. Like, by the way, if you
were if you were somebody who can't decide, If you're
somebody who can't decide, what's more important, gambling or watching
this NFL game you bought tickets for, don't worry about it.
There's gonna be a lot late late arrivals. People are
(20:01):
gonna be hanging out in Mandalay Bay across the street,
going all right, when's this game kickoff?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
You have.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
It already? Did Hold on a second. I just put
twenty bucks in a penny slot machine and the cocktail
waitress is gonna bring me a Michelobultra. Please just hold on, everybody,
We'll get to that NFL game we've paid one hundred
dollars for our tickets for in a couple of minutes.
But the NFL decides no, we got to let everybody
know what the Pro Bowl's gonna be. Nobody gives a rip, dude,
(20:32):
it's over. You've got you got a great thing going.
You can literally find a storyline every week with every team,
every single day. You got a great thing going, and
they've got updates on the Pro Bowl. Imagine sitting in
a restaurant, you having a really nice meal. You and
your wife finally get out. You finally get out. It's
been forever. You're in the middle of having this nice steak,
(20:56):
classy glass of wine. I mean it's per light piano
in the background, you know, like a cold mist in
the air because it's fall and you know everyone's in
a good mood. You finally can wear that coat you
bought during the summertime because it was fifty percent off
that it would be during like winter peak hours. And
(21:18):
you're sitting there and all of a sudden, the waiter
comes over to you and says, hey, by the way,
let us tell you about all the stuff we suck
at here. How's your stake? Great? You love it all? Right,
here's the other menu that's awful. The NFL, in the
middle of a great dinner comes up to you and
goes Oh, and by the way, we've got an update
on the Pro Bowl. I nobody gives a rip at
(21:40):
all whatsoever. They haven't for a long time. You could
do away with it. Let me just tell you this,
for media members, you know what Pro Bowl Sunday is.
That's the game none of us watch. You want to
know why, because we're all traveling to the Super Bowl
(22:02):
city that's hosting the game that week. All right, let's
getaway day for everybody. Nobody gives a crap, nobody cares,
but the NFL needs you to be updated on it. Cool, awesome,
Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio, two Pros and a
cup of Joe Here on FSR. By the way, we
are brought to you by DraftKings Sportsbook. All right, this
(22:25):
show is sponsored by DraftKings and for good reason, it's
an official sports betting partner of the NFL. And right
now you can use the promo code two pros to
claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code
two PROS at DraftKings. The crown is yours. And right now,
let me tell you something. You can go on DraftKings
and you can do something called touchdown props, all right,
(22:45):
just go on there. It could be first touchdown score,
anytime touchdown score, two plus touchdowns. And I'm going to
pinpoint and focus on one game in particular, all right,
because somebody's getting the shaft in this game. But you
don't have to get the shaft because you can go
on there, can say, hey, what's gonna pay out? What's
a decent payout here? How about David and Joku plus
(23:05):
four to seventy five to score a touchdown in this game?
And you're like, well, why would you go David and Joku?
Why David and Joku to score a touchdown in this game? Well? Easy,
I mean you got Dylan Gabriel. He's starting a quarterback.
He already threw a touchdown to David and Joku last
week in London. Why wouldn't he do it against the
Pittsburgh Steelers this week? And so you can check it
out for yourself. Go to DraftKings. Can't recommend him enough.
(23:29):
And speaking of that game between the Browns and the Steelers,
you talk about somebody that can't catch a break, all right,
So the Cleveland Browns, who've already had you know, kind
of a kind of a Rocky season. You know, there's
been a lot going on there in Cleveland. Right, they're
paying They've got like fifteen quarterbacks that they're paying. You
(23:50):
can only play one at a time, by the way,
they're paying like fifteen guys, Kenny Pickett, Dorian Thompson, Robinson, Like,
I mean, you know, because why wouldn't they. I think
Jameis Winston might be on that list. Deshaun Watson's there,
but you know, he's got his own issues. Like there's
all like Joe Flacco, but he's like, you know, playing
(24:11):
for a division rival now that you traded him to.
Like they're just there's all sorts of there's there's just
a lot there, right, there's a lot, right, And you're
trying to figure this whole thing out. You're trying to
figure out what direction you're going to go as an organization.
A right, You're just trying to find some sort of stability.
It's like, you know what, we can't take any chances.
We're going to draft a quarterback in the third round,
(24:34):
and then for some reason, we want to go ahead
and make things even more confusing, and we're going to
draft should or Sanders in the fifth all right, and
since then, the only quarterback apparently anybody in the media
wants to talk to is shoud Or Sanders, and even
should Or Sanders is so sick of it that he
turns into a mime last week. But he was very
complimentary of Joe Flacco in his role this week in Cleveland.
(24:54):
And so you got all that going on. You've got
Kevin Stefanski trying to save his job, all right, And
this is a special time of year for Kevin Stefanski,
who pointed this out. The guy looks like a werewolf.
This is were wolf season. And he's dealing with the
fact that he's got an owner who spends a bunch
of money and from time to time will spend a
bunch of money on weirdos who have massage fetishes. So
(25:18):
he's just trying to keep everybody, Hey, listen, let everybody
just stay with us here. And how does the NFL
make it worse? Like, you know what, Cleveland, it's not
bad enough, you're having a rough season. Why don't we
go ahead and kick you in the balls one more time?
So the Cleveland Browns, coming off an international game last
(25:40):
week against the Vikings, they get a team at home
coming off of bye week in the Steelers. All right,
So to just think about that, the Browns were just
playing in London and then they're going to get the
Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend, who are coming off of b
(26:00):
because they just played in Dublin. Lot going on there.
You're like, man, that is a lot. Here's what's not
a lot. The number of times that's ever happened. One
other time in NFL history. That's happened the Dolphins hosted
the Falcons back in twenty twenty one. The difference is
this is a road game with a rookie quarterback in
(26:22):
his second start. So if you were one of those
people in Cleveland like looking for the bright side of things,
like hey, man, like, look, we know you everybody wants
to focus on everything that's gone wrong here. We know
everybody wants to talk about like all the all the
missteps of the organization, all the quarterbacks that aren't here,
all this stuff. But hey, we've drafted, well, all right,
(26:45):
that's good news. We're swapping cornerback for cornerback this week,
Joe Flaccos elsewhere, like you know, but hey, we're making moves.
We're trying to stay in this thing and the NFL
reminds you no, no, no, no, you're the Browns. Yeah, this
is how this is gonna go for the first time
in history. You're going to go international. Last week, you're
(27:08):
gonna lose with a rookie quarterback making a second start.
This week, you're gonna go on the road against a
team who's coming off a bye. It's just you know,
par for the course. This is the way this goes.
And that's why when people talk about sort of where
you are as a fan, where you are, like how
(27:29):
you feel about your franchise, Like you wonder why certain
fan bases, like they get really excited for the draft,
they're really excited for football. And then you know, you
show up to a sports bar and by about week
twelve or thirteen, the crowds start to lighten up a
little bit because people just kind of lose hope. You
(27:50):
go into a season, you're like, man, this could be different,
this year could be different, and then there's just friendly
reminders throughout the way. Then no, it's not different. This
is the way things go. And what's so so aggravating
if you're one of those teams is that you see
other teams aka the Pittsburgh Steelers, who for some reason
just always figure it out. Like for some reason, Pittsburgh
(28:14):
just always as the answers. It's not like the Steelers
haven't had like a rotating carousel of quarterbacks over the
past few years. Like it's not like they haven't missed
on quarterbacks that they've drafted. Kenny Pickett was supposed to
be the Pittsburgh homecoming and he played it pitt and
(28:34):
this was going to be the guy and he's going
to take over for Ben Roethlisberger. And ultimately that didn't work,
and still they were making the playoffs. Still, like even
with all that didn't work out with a first round
draft pick at quarterback, had to turn to Mason Rudolph
(28:55):
and still it worked, Like they got to the playoffs.
They're still competitive. TJ. Watt's been knocked out for a
season before, Like he's gotten injured. It's been hard for
him to stay healthy. Their running game hasn't is been inconsistent.
It seems like every year they've got a wide receiver
who melts down and just they move on from him,
(29:18):
and still they figure it out. And the Browns are
looking at that going what the f Like, we're like,
we find ourselves in this spot every single year. Every year,
there's constant chaos. And I brought this up before. I
swear to God, if you pulled Kevin Stefanski aside and
(29:40):
you said to him like, hey man, if you could,
you want out of here, like oh yeah, and that'll
be a guy who gets gobbled up. He'll get hired immediately.
Because even though you look around and you're like, all right, well,
the Browns have at least have some sort of a
direction here. You know, Hey, they they've drafted well, Mason
grat and all these guys and Miles Garrett and the
(30:02):
defense looks great and they do. The defense has been great,
and we're gonna go with Dylan Gabriel. We're gonna see
how it goes. Listen, Joe Flackle, we appreciate it, but
we're gonna go in this direction. And it's like, awesome,
that's cool. Oh and by the way, next year, we're
also gonna go back into the draft and take a quarterback. Yeah, well,
why wouldn't you? Of course, if you've quit me at
(30:22):
this point, why not. Oh and by the way, you
got an extra first round pick the next couple of
years because you made that swap with the Jaguars. Sweet
how the Jaguars doing I don't know, one of the
best records in the NFL. I can't catch a break,
literally can't catch a break. They wake up out of bed,
they step on a lego, they hit their knee on
(30:44):
the corner of a cabinet. They go to get coffee,
it spills on them. They they walk outside, they fall
in their ass. They get in the car, they get
wiped out in an intersection. They're waiting for triple A.
Somebody drives through a mudpuff the splashes on them. Finally,
as they cross the street to go get something to
(31:04):
eat because they're like, man, I've had enough of this day.
Somebody opens up their door and they're driving by, trying
to vomit out the side because they're hungover from last night,
and they clip them on the way in. The next
thing you know, they're in the er. That is the
Browns Day, That's the brown season, and it's what it's
always been for the past couple of decades. Jonas Knox

Speaker 6 (32:54):
It's funny, Jonas, I actually can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
No? You go there?
Speaker 7 (32:58):
It goes okay, So it's actually funny. I wanted to
bring this up earlier in the week because you're such
a big Cubs fan, right.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
There's been rumors of that.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Well over the weekend they were playing the Brewers, and
there was actually some rumors going on that the Brewers
were trying to set up the Cubs for disaster during
their like warmups, so they left half of the stadium
open so that the Cubs were directly in the sun
during warmups and they're dugout and they played slow, like
not upbeat music to kind of you know, not get them.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
All, kind of lull them to sleep exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You know what's hilarious about that is the Cubs play
probably more day games than anybody in baseball kind of
I don't.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Know, They're used to the sun, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, like it anybody that's never been. And look, I've
said this before. If you want to have a damn
good time during the summer, go to Chicago for a weekend.
Because they have this thing called Friday one twenty. They
should sell shirt to say Friday one to twenty, almost
like a Bible scripture, because all of their Friday games
at home are at twenty local time in the afternoon.
(34:02):
Oh wow, So you go to a game, it's at
one twenty. The game's probably over by you know, if
they're if they're really moving three thirty three, three forty five,
and then people go across the street to Murphy's and
some of those bars and just get annihilated lit Oh yeah,
it is a blast. So like yeah, like that whole thing,
(34:22):
like we're gonna we're gonna like leave the roof open
and we're gonna, you know, it's gonna impact him. Come on, man,
Like none of that stuff had any impact on.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
They're still moving forward, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Well yeah, I mean, look and they got a game
five coming up on Saturday. You get another game five
in the in the ALDS. I will say this, it
doesn't matter who comes out of the NLDS between the
Cubs and Brewers. I don't think anybody's beating the Dodgers.
I don't think it's I think the team that could
have beaten the Dodgers was the Phillies. And the way
that game went last night, like that just tells you
(34:53):
it's just it's the Dodgers era. It's the Dodgers time.
I don't think anybody in the American league has got
a shot against that. But you know, we'll see how
it plays out.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Well.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I saw in the news yesterday we got another baby
in the NFL family. Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton revealed
he had his ninth number nine.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Why do you say it with that judgy tone?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
It's not judgy. I just can't imagine having nine children.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It's a lot. Yeah, that's that's a lot. But you
know what, can you.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Imagine taking them to Disneyland? How much that would cost?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
No, I listen, don't even don't even get me started.
Disneyland with one kid is such a pain in the ass,
Like is it a complete pain in the ass. It's
also really really expensive. So if you're taking nine kids
there to Disneyland, like and it's what you go to
Disneyland all the time was like two hundred bucks a person.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Yeah, I just saw around Christmas they're charging upwards of
three fifty per ticket, three fifty per ticket one day.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh my god, kids is almost a starting offense though. Yeah, yeah, no,
he's yeah, he's his own team. He's on his way. Yeah,
he's on his way. That's yeah, that's a miserb. I
love what else we got, Ray.
Speaker 7 (36:02):
Well, this is a dream come true for Angel Reese.
She is set to become the first pro athlete to
walk Victoria's Secret fashion show.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Who's Angel Reese?
Speaker 6 (36:12):
You know that one girl who plays on that basketball team.
She got a lot of drama with p WNBA that's it.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
She actually did have a quote she said, stepping into
a dream from Angel to a Victoria's Secret Angel, I'm
finally getting my wings. I'll be walking the Victoria's Secret
twenty twenty five runway show for the first time, and
it feels like Destiny's.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Oh my god. Everything about that league has nothing to
do with that league, you know.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
And that's the thing where it's always.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Drama or it's yeah there's somebody fighting, or somebody's got
something else going on, or they want more money, or
is it's just okay? Like the presentation of that leaves
a lot to be desired.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
But wouldn't she want to walk the runway in basketball shoes?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Are you asking me personally? No, I don't want to
walk the runway all No, I don't know. I'm good,
I don't want to do it. Actually, it's a matter
of fact. What else we looking at?
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Well?
Speaker 6 (37:03):
This was really exciting.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
I know it's not exactly sports, but I know you
love Gwen Stefani and No Doubt and they have really
yes you do.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Nope, don't lie to me.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
You don't like SKA music.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Actually I do have a continue I have a kind
of a two pros and a cup of Joe related
story about Okay, well Stefan.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
That's great.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
They actually have a residency coming to the Sphere in Vegas,
so she's going to be their first female headliner.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I heard that place is awesome. They did a UFC
event last for UFCA Noce. I think it was last September,
last September, and it was awesome. Like and everybody who's
been to the to sphere because it's not the Sphere,
it's sphear just sphere, Yeah, just sphere. Anybody who's been
there said it's unbelievable. Like I think you two's performed there.
(37:49):
There's been some other acts that to perform there, so
that like, that's probably a really cool setup. It's not
you know, you're not pack of the house, it's not
one hundred thousand people that can fit in that thing,
but just the presentation, the images behind them, like the
way the UFC presented it was awesome. And I don't
know if there's gonna be other sporting events that try that.
Dana White was telling everybody like good luck because it
(38:11):
was such a such a pain in the ass to
get done, but it was awesome. The Gwen Stefani story,
I actually took somebody I was dating at the time
to a Gwen Stefani show at Universal Studio. It was
at the Universal Amphitheater. Oh, And the next morning I
went downstairs to the bar to watch the draft and
(38:34):
I watched Brady Quinn get drafted the next.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Morning stop this before you worked with him, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Years ago, And so I watched that entire draft downstairs
because she was upstairs doing whatever she was doing. I'm like,
I got to get out of here, and I went
downstairs and watch the whole draft about that.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
That's like, yeah, I love how that works.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It was meant to be sometimes, yeah, because it was
all meant to be makes all the sense in the world.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Well, maybe Ian can give me little help on this one.
He told me about the story today where there are
fifty thousand dollars in Harrobo gummies missing.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Really, yeah, I saw this on bro Bible, so website
use it for some in case you missed it. Things sometimes,
but yeah, New Jersey police are searching for thousands of
cases of stolen Harrobo gummy bears. It's worth fifty thousand
dollars apparently. I mean, look, people can do whatever they
want with hairbro or hairbro whatever it's called, or bro Bible.
I mean, nothing beats Home Depot because you get tools
(39:30):
that perform at the highest level on every job without compromise.
When you shot Makita at the home depot, when the
job calls for the best call on Makita built to
be the best available at the home depot, how pros
get more done. It's been a fun one. Thanks Terrara,

Speaker 1 (01:36):
So last night was kind of a kind of a
wild night for a group of people in the world
of sports. Okay, you had a lot going on, all right,
there were some really good games. It was kind of
a pain in the ass. And maybe there's an option
for this and I'm not aware of, but it was
kind of a pain in the ass that you had
the football game on Amazon Prime and then you had
the baseball games elsewhere because normally, because one of the
(01:59):
great things about YouTube TV is that you can do
the multi screen, so you can get a baseball game
here or a football game there. You're like, you got
all sorts of stuff going on, you know in my house,
you know, you got to work in like Univision or
telemoondo just to make everybody happy. But point is, at
least you got options last night you had to watch
one on the phone, you gotta watch the other and
(02:21):
listen again. Maybe there's an option for this, all right.
Maybe I'm not versed enough as to know to how
that works. Maybe there's some sort of an illegal streamer.
But I don't like to do things illegally, Okay, try
and avoid that. Trying to be an example for the
for the little one. So you're watching last night and
you're like, man, this is great action you've got. You know,
major the MLB playoffs, which are the best of the
(02:42):
best in my opinion, Like, I will take the Major
League Baseball playoffs over any other sport NHL included. All right,
for all you puck faces out there, I said, puck
with a p all right, I'll take the MLB playoffs personally.
That's just my opinion. But then you add the NFL
game well too, And it was surprising, and you're looking
and we were mentioning this earlier. There's like a couple
(03:04):
of stories here with this game, all right. Story one,
if you want to start optimistic, because we got plenty
of stuff not to be optimistic about coming up here shortly.
But story one, you look at the Giants, you go, oh,
my God, there's some juice there, Like, you got Jackson Dart,
who's got all sorts of show, all sorts of bizazz.
(03:27):
Guys wearn a necklace with a turtleneck. Okay, you got
Cam Scataboo said it earlier. He's like the white Craig
Ironhead Hayward. Literally neither one of them cares about their
well being at all. Jackson Dart launched himself into some
(03:49):
guy like a human javelin last thing, didn't even care.
Cam Scataboo is doing backflips, he's surfing like he is
looking for contact, like he's not trying to get away
from it. There's no avoiding tackles. He's like, where's a tackle?
Where is this a puzzle here? Let me get your
numbers up, Like he's helping defenders everywhere. Like, if you're
(04:11):
a defender and you want to break the tackle record
this season, play the Giants. Because he is looking to
get tackled. He is looking for contact. But the entire
mood of the Giants has changed everything. Brian Dapall, all
of a sudden, it went from yeah, you know Russell,
you know Russell is our starter, and you know we
(04:32):
gotta do things better. About Russell Wilson and we gotta,
we gotta, you know, surround him with this, and we
got to do more for him here, we gotta. And
now all of a sudden, he's like getting in the
face of the team doctor because Jackson Dart might be
concussed and he wants him back in the game. The
entire mood of the New York Giants has changed. And
whether you think this means that they're going to go
(04:55):
on a run here, I personally don't. I still don't
think they're very good, but at least we can agree
on there's some juice there now. Whatever it is that
Jackson Dart and Cam Skataboo, whatever they do for that team,
it's real. There's a vibe around them. There's an energy
around them that wasn't there before. It just wasn't because
(05:19):
the conversations we were having about Brian Daball and Joe
Shane and all that was like, hey man, like how
much longer these guys got. Because it's real bad when
you're real bad, But it's real bad when the people
that weren't good enough for you go elsewhere and they're
real good aka Saquon Barkley last year, aka Daniel Jones
(05:41):
this year and now, all of a sudden, in the
matter of a couple of weeks, the conversation, the mood,
the energy, everything has changed around the New York Giants.
So where you're looking at it going, Hey, man, I
don't know what this turns in New I don't know
how much longer Jackson, Dart and Cam Scattaboo can play
this way, but at least there's something there. Here's your
bright side. And then there's the night that Philadelphia sports
(06:06):
fans had. You know, like, if you're gonna tell a story,
you gotta have both sides. If you want an accurate
depiction of how things go, you gotta have both sides.
You got your smiles and then you got your frowns.
And last night, starting with the NFL, it was a
lot of the same for the Philadelphia Eagles. They're just
(06:28):
not very entertaining and apparently on offense, it just hasn't
always been all that good this season. Nick Sirianni, the
head coach afterwards, a guy who is willing to let
everybody know, much like Eagles fans, exactly what he thinks
of them and how good their team is, took on
(06:50):
a different tone following that performance last night at MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Obviously, you know anytime, you know, I think there were
some good moments in the run game today, got ourselves
behind the sticks a little bit in the second half
on some some of some of the runs there. So
we'll look at everything right there. You know, we we know,
we we know we have the guys up front to
(07:14):
be able to do that. Obviously, we got to we
got to do a good job putting them in positions
to succeed, and then we got to go execute.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, I would say that, yeah, that would probably help.
Whatever it is that they got going on on offense
doesn't look good and it doesn't sound good, and nobody's
got an explanation. Jalen Hurts is talking afterwards with like
some you know, thirty five thousand dollars painters hat on
talking about, well, you know, I got to look inward
(07:42):
and I need to be better. And AJ Brown that
whole thing is odd. You've got Saquon Barkley and Jalen
Hurts saying that they all got together and had a meeting.
AJ Brown afterwards saying, I don't know anything about a meeting.
It's just the whole thing feels weird, it feels strange,
(08:04):
But the good news is at least you got the Phillies. Oops,
that's gone too and done. This tell you everything you
need to know. You remember back in twenty seventeen, the
Eagles won a Super Bowl and there were videos that
came out. Some guy punched a police horse. Another guy
(08:29):
was on the ground and like a Randall Cunningham throwback,
eating crap off the sidewalk, and people are like, how
can they act like this? They're climbing light poles and
they're throwing things like why do Philly fans act like this? Well,
this is why. This is why. Because they know this world,
(08:50):
and they know this world is a cruel son of
a bitch. They realized that, hey, man, enjoy it. Why
you got it? Be obnoxious because there is a reality
on the other side of things that isn't pretty. We
are capable of this. In the same night, we made
the awful Giants look like the team with the brightest
(09:15):
future in the league while simultaneously urinating and defecating away
a game against the Dodgers that we probably should have
won and should have forced a game five. That's why
they act like that. It's like seeing a kid who alway,
(09:37):
like you're like, man, what why is this kid like
so erradic at school? Like why is he? You know,
I don't understand, like what's what's going on here? Like
why does he behave like that like he did, like
screaming at the top of his lungs and what It's
like it just like an emotional roles what's going on here?
And then you find out, well, he doesn't listen, you
know that the dad left the mom because the mom
(09:58):
had an affair with the neighbor's dog.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Like it.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's just like there's all sorts of stuff going on. Huh, yeah,
there's just such things happening, you know. It's just like
weird stuff, you know, like they raise cats they can
eat them like it just there's just weird things. And
then you look at it, you go, oh, that explains it.
Last night explains and tells you everything you need to
(10:22):
know about why Philly fans act the way they do
because they realize, hey, man, like there's a lot of
things that could go on here and a lot of
things that could go wrong, and everything went wrong last
night for Philly fans. Everything like you've got players on
the Eagles giving mixed messages as to whether or not
(10:45):
they had team meetings. Okay, Jalen Carter reportedly didn't play
in the game last night because they were worried about
the MetLife turf. Saquon Barkley's like, yeah, we got to
get back to the to the attitude we had last year.
Nick Sirian all of a sudden, sounds like a guy
who is a shell of himself based on where he
was earlier this season and how he was taught. I
(11:07):
mean last you know, a couple of weeks ago, he
was talking about the tush push and how fun it
was and they could do all. And that team, for
the first time in almost two years, just lost consecutive games.
Think about that. That is the run the Eagles have
been on. The Eagles have not lost consecutive games since
(11:30):
the end of the twenty twenty three season. And if
I'm not mistaken, I believe Jason Kelsey was still playing then.
That's how long it's been. But the mood around that
team now, who also, by the way, just won a
super Bowl, okay, and just lost their first game in
like three hundred days. The mood around that team now
(11:52):
is like, oh my god, what a disaster, What a
complete disaster. And on the same night the phil melt
away at Dodger Stadium. If you ever wanted to know,
why why do you do the things you do? Why
do you behave the way you behave? Why are you
(12:12):
the way that you are? All you got to do
is look into the history, look into the past. And
apparently in Philadelphia you don't even have to look that
far because it is a literal roller coaster of emotions,
and last night it gave you all the pitfalls that
come with being a Philly sports fan. Two pros and

(14:22):
what do you do if you are a Philly sports
fan and you're trying to just avoid anything sports related
because the the Eagles melted down last night, I didn't
melt down. They looked awful, and then the Phillies melted down,
though plenty of opportunities in that game. By the way,
(14:43):
you want to know how good and you know, you
can check this out with the great Tim Kats, who
will be hosting on the Blowtorch Am five to seventy
LA Sports coming up after we're off the area here
locally on five seventy. But you want to know how
great Shoe Aotani is in the midst of being one
for seventeen in the series, like he's been dreadful, in
(15:06):
the midst of all that, they've still walked him to
load the bases with Mookie Bets right behind him. The
Phillies are like, you know what, even though show hey,
Otani's got a hole in his bat, he's so good
that we're willing to walk the bases loaded to get
(15:26):
to another guy. Who's one of the best players in baseball.
So it's like that, that's how good show Atani is unbelievable.
And of course you know Philly was on the other
end of things. So I again, I'm trying to find options.
I'm not trying to swim in the negative side of
the pool here. I'm looking. I'm looking out for Philly fans.
I'm trying to let him know. Hey, listen, you got
(15:46):
something else you got to do. Go to a pumpkin patch,
all right? Good. You know, if you were planning on
a Halloween party in two weeks, throw it now, Like
go to a go go pick apples at an orchard somewhere, like,
do whatever you gotta do to get your mind off
the fact that it is a miserable existence right now
for you. Or just go watch you know, the World
(16:08):
Series from like, you know, two thousand and eight, or
watch the Super Bowl from last year. You know there's options,
YouTube's there. Or you just put some Louisiana Hot Sauce
on things. The original Louisiana Hot Sauce is the perfect
balance of Pepper's vinegar and salt, wings, nachos, burgers, hit
any tailgate food with the bold, handcrafted flavor of the
original Louisiana Hot sauce. That's Louisiana Hot. Buy you some.
(16:31):
I did like what the NFL did yesterday, because raise
your hand, right, and even the people driving raise your hand.
If you were wondering, hey, what are they doing with
the Pro Bowl this year? Yeah, nobody raised their hand.
(16:51):
Everybody's safe on the roads right, two hands on the
steering wheel, ten and two. Everyone's fine because nobody cares.
Nobody cares. Nobody cares about the Pro Bowl, Nobody cares
about the NBA All Star Game, nobody cares about the
NHL Skills Challenge or whatever they're trying. Nobody cares, including
(17:13):
the only league that does it the right way is
Major League Baseball because it's the only sport that you
can do kind of halfway and it still resembles what
it looks like normally. Nobody gives a rip about the
NFL and their Pro Bowl. They don't care. According to
Ben Fisher of Sports Business Journal, the Pro Bowl games
(17:35):
will now become part of Super Bowl Week and they
will be staged in the Super Bowl host city.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You don't say.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
He also says it's going to be more of a
made for TV production than a live event with a
large audience. Okay. The league confirmed Fisher in a statement
that it has been talking to ESPN, the NFLPA, and
individual players about a Reimagine Pro Bowl to cap the
twenty twenty five season. Quote. We'll share more in the
(18:06):
coming weeks, but our focus is a best in class
all star event that celebrates the league's top players, deepens
fan engagement, and spotlights flag football, especially in light of
confirming player participation in the LA twenty eight Olympic Games.
The league told Fisher, cool, why is this being brought
(18:29):
up now? We're in the middle of the NFL season.
You got all sorts of stuff going on, You got
all sorts of storylines. Even the worst teams in the
NFL have a storyline attached to them. You could go
literally go through every and this is what's great about
the NFL. You could go through every single team in
(18:52):
the league and find something interesting attached to all of them.
Just spin the wheel, spin the wheel of NFL teams.
Pull a bad team out of the bunch. Oh, the
New York Jets, no problem. The only team in the NFL,
by the way, with a defensive head coach who is
(19:13):
yet to force a turnover.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That's it. The Jests are done.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Spin it again, run it, spin it again. All the
Tennessee Titans. Oh, don't worry. They got a huge matchup
this weekend. Who are they playing? Spin it again? Yeah?
(19:40):
The Raiders. Yeah, that's the big matchup. Like, that's boy,
because tickets are going to be flying for those that
that's gonna be one. Like, by the way, if you
were if you were somebody who can't decide, If you're
somebody who can't decide, what's more important, gambling or watching
this NFL game you bought tickets for, don't worry about it.
There's gonna be a lot late late arrivals. People are
(20:01):
gonna be hanging out in Mandalay Bay across the street,
going all right, when's this game kickoff?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
You have.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
It already? Did Hold on a second. I just put
twenty bucks in a penny slot machine and the cocktail
waitress is gonna bring me a Michelobultra. Please just hold on, everybody,
We'll get to that NFL game we've paid one hundred
dollars for our tickets for in a couple of minutes.
But the NFL decides no, we got to let everybody
know what the Pro Bowl's gonna be. Nobody gives a rip, dude,
(20:32):
it's over. You've got you got a great thing going.
You can literally find a storyline every week with every team,
every single day. You got a great thing going, and
they've got updates on the Pro Bowl. Imagine sitting in
a restaurant, you having a really nice meal. You and
your wife finally get out. You finally get out. It's
been forever. You're in the middle of having this nice steak,
(20:56):
classy glass of wine. I mean it's per light piano
in the background, you know, like a cold mist in
the air because it's fall and you know everyone's in
a good mood. You finally can wear that coat you
bought during the summertime because it was fifty percent off
that it would be during like winter peak hours. And
(21:18):
you're sitting there and all of a sudden, the waiter
comes over to you and says, hey, by the way,
let us tell you about all the stuff we suck
at here. How's your stake? Great? You love it all? Right,
here's the other menu that's awful. The NFL, in the
middle of a great dinner comes up to you and
goes Oh, and by the way, we've got an update
on the Pro Bowl. I nobody gives a rip at
(21:40):
all whatsoever. They haven't for a long time. You could
do away with it. Let me just tell you this,
for media members, you know what Pro Bowl Sunday is.
That's the game none of us watch. You want to
know why, because we're all traveling to the Super Bowl
(22:02):
city that's hosting the game that week. All right, let's
getaway day for everybody. Nobody gives a crap, nobody cares,
but the NFL needs you to be updated on it. Cool, awesome,
Jonas Knox here Fox Sports Radio, two Pros and a
cup of Joe Here on FSR. By the way, we
are brought to you by DraftKings Sportsbook. All right, this
(22:25):
show is sponsored by DraftKings and for good reason, it's
an official sports betting partner of the NFL. And right
now you can use the promo code two pros to
claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code
two PROS at DraftKings. The crown is yours. And right now,
let me tell you something. You can go on DraftKings
and you can do something called touchdown props, all right,
(22:45):
just go on there. It could be first touchdown score,
anytime touchdown score, two plus touchdowns. And I'm going to
pinpoint and focus on one game in particular, all right,
because somebody's getting the shaft in this game. But you
don't have to get the shaft because you can go
on there, can say, hey, what's gonna pay out? What's
a decent payout here? How about David and Joku plus
(23:05):
four to seventy five to score a touchdown in this game?
And you're like, well, why would you go David and Joku?
Why David and Joku to score a touchdown in this game? Well? Easy,
I mean you got Dylan Gabriel. He's starting a quarterback.
He already threw a touchdown to David and Joku last
week in London. Why wouldn't he do it against the
Pittsburgh Steelers this week? And so you can check it
out for yourself. Go to DraftKings. Can't recommend him enough.
(23:29):
And speaking of that game between the Browns and the Steelers,
you talk about somebody that can't catch a break, all right,
So the Cleveland Browns, who've already had you know, kind
of a kind of a Rocky season. You know, there's
been a lot going on there in Cleveland. Right, they're
paying They've got like fifteen quarterbacks that they're paying. You
(23:50):
can only play one at a time, by the way,
they're paying like fifteen guys, Kenny Pickett, Dorian Thompson, Robinson, Like,
I mean, you know, because why wouldn't they. I think
Jameis Winston might be on that list. Deshaun Watson's there,
but you know, he's got his own issues. Like there's
all like Joe Flacco, but he's like, you know, playing
(24:11):
for a division rival now that you traded him to.
Like they're just there's all sorts of there's there's just
a lot there, right, there's a lot, right, And you're
trying to figure this whole thing out. You're trying to
figure out what direction you're going to go as an organization.
A right, You're just trying to find some sort of stability.
It's like, you know what, we can't take any chances.
We're going to draft a quarterback in the third round,
(24:34):
and then for some reason, we want to go ahead
and make things even more confusing, and we're going to
draft should or Sanders in the fifth all right, and
since then, the only quarterback apparently anybody in the media
wants to talk to is shoud Or Sanders, and even
should Or Sanders is so sick of it that he
turns into a mime last week. But he was very
complimentary of Joe Flacco in his role this week in Cleveland.
(24:54):
And so you got all that going on. You've got
Kevin Stefanski trying to save his job, all right, And
this is a special time of year for Kevin Stefanski,
who pointed this out. The guy looks like a werewolf.
This is were wolf season. And he's dealing with the
fact that he's got an owner who spends a bunch
of money and from time to time will spend a
bunch of money on weirdos who have massage fetishes. So
(25:18):
he's just trying to keep everybody, Hey, listen, let everybody
just stay with us here. And how does the NFL
make it worse? Like, you know what, Cleveland, it's not
bad enough, you're having a rough season. Why don't we
go ahead and kick you in the balls one more time?
So the Cleveland Browns, coming off an international game last
(25:40):
week against the Vikings, they get a team at home
coming off of bye week in the Steelers. All right,
So to just think about that, the Browns were just
playing in London and then they're going to get the
Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend, who are coming off of b
(26:00):
because they just played in Dublin. Lot going on there.
You're like, man, that is a lot. Here's what's not
a lot. The number of times that's ever happened. One
other time in NFL history. That's happened the Dolphins hosted
the Falcons back in twenty twenty one. The difference is
this is a road game with a rookie quarterback in
(26:22):
his second start. So if you were one of those
people in Cleveland like looking for the bright side of things,
like hey, man, like, look, we know you everybody wants
to focus on everything that's gone wrong here. We know
everybody wants to talk about like all the all the
missteps of the organization, all the quarterbacks that aren't here,
all this stuff. But hey, we've drafted, well, all right,
(26:45):
that's good news. We're swapping cornerback for cornerback this week,
Joe Flaccos elsewhere, like you know, but hey, we're making moves.
We're trying to stay in this thing and the NFL
reminds you no, no, no, no, you're the Browns. Yeah, this
is how this is gonna go for the first time
in history. You're going to go international. Last week, you're
(27:08):
gonna lose with a rookie quarterback making a second start.
This week, you're gonna go on the road against a
team who's coming off a bye. It's just you know,
par for the course. This is the way this goes.
And that's why when people talk about sort of where
you are as a fan, where you are, like how
(27:29):
you feel about your franchise, Like you wonder why certain
fan bases, like they get really excited for the draft,
they're really excited for football. And then you know, you
show up to a sports bar and by about week
twelve or thirteen, the crowds start to lighten up a
little bit because people just kind of lose hope. You
(27:50):
go into a season, you're like, man, this could be different,
this year could be different, and then there's just friendly
reminders throughout the way. Then no, it's not different. This
is the way things go. And what's so so aggravating
if you're one of those teams is that you see
other teams aka the Pittsburgh Steelers, who for some reason
just always figure it out. Like for some reason, Pittsburgh
(28:14):
just always as the answers. It's not like the Steelers
haven't had like a rotating carousel of quarterbacks over the
past few years. Like it's not like they haven't missed
on quarterbacks that they've drafted. Kenny Pickett was supposed to
be the Pittsburgh homecoming and he played it pitt and
(28:34):
this was going to be the guy and he's going
to take over for Ben Roethlisberger. And ultimately that didn't work,
and still they were making the playoffs. Still, like even
with all that didn't work out with a first round
draft pick at quarterback, had to turn to Mason Rudolph
(28:55):
and still it worked, Like they got to the playoffs.
They're still competitive. TJ. Watt's been knocked out for a
season before, Like he's gotten injured. It's been hard for
him to stay healthy. Their running game hasn't is been inconsistent.
It seems like every year they've got a wide receiver
who melts down and just they move on from him,
(29:18):
and still they figure it out. And the Browns are
looking at that going what the f Like, we're like,
we find ourselves in this spot every single year. Every year,
there's constant chaos. And I brought this up before. I
swear to God, if you pulled Kevin Stefanski aside and
(29:40):
you said to him like, hey man, if you could,
you want out of here, like oh yeah, and that'll
be a guy who gets gobbled up. He'll get hired immediately.
Because even though you look around and you're like, all right, well,
the Browns have at least have some sort of a
direction here. You know, Hey, they they've drafted well, Mason
grat and all these guys and Miles Garrett and the
(30:02):
defense looks great and they do. The defense has been great,
and we're gonna go with Dylan Gabriel. We're gonna see
how it goes. Listen, Joe Flackle, we appreciate it, but
we're gonna go in this direction. And it's like, awesome,
that's cool. Oh and by the way, next year, we're
also gonna go back into the draft and take a quarterback. Yeah, well,
why wouldn't you? Of course, if you've quit me at
(30:22):
this point, why not. Oh and by the way, you
got an extra first round pick the next couple of
years because you made that swap with the Jaguars. Sweet
how the Jaguars doing I don't know, one of the
best records in the NFL. I can't catch a break,
literally can't catch a break. They wake up out of bed,
they step on a lego, they hit their knee on
(30:44):
the corner of a cabinet. They go to get coffee,
it spills on them. They they walk outside, they fall
in their ass. They get in the car, they get
wiped out in an intersection. They're waiting for triple A.
Somebody drives through a mudpuff the splashes on them. Finally,
as they cross the street to go get something to
(31:04):
eat because they're like, man, I've had enough of this day.
Somebody opens up their door and they're driving by, trying
to vomit out the side because they're hungover from last night,
and they clip them on the way in. The next
thing you know, they're in the er. That is the
Browns Day, That's the brown season, and it's what it's
always been for the past couple of decades. Jonas Knox

Speaker 6 (32:54):
It's funny, Jonas, I actually can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
No? You go there?
Speaker 7 (32:58):
It goes okay, So it's actually funny. I wanted to
bring this up earlier in the week because you're such
a big Cubs fan, right.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
There's been rumors of that.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Well over the weekend they were playing the Brewers, and
there was actually some rumors going on that the Brewers
were trying to set up the Cubs for disaster during
their like warmups, so they left half of the stadium
open so that the Cubs were directly in the sun
during warmups and they're dugout and they played slow, like
not upbeat music to kind of you know, not get them.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
All, kind of lull them to sleep exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You know what's hilarious about that is the Cubs play
probably more day games than anybody in baseball kind of
I don't.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Know, They're used to the sun, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, like it anybody that's never been. And look, I've
said this before. If you want to have a damn
good time during the summer, go to Chicago for a weekend.
Because they have this thing called Friday one twenty. They
should sell shirt to say Friday one to twenty, almost
like a Bible scripture, because all of their Friday games
at home are at twenty local time in the afternoon.
(34:02):
Oh wow, So you go to a game, it's at
one twenty. The game's probably over by you know, if
they're if they're really moving three thirty three, three forty five,
and then people go across the street to Murphy's and
some of those bars and just get annihilated lit Oh yeah,
it is a blast. So like yeah, like that whole thing,
(34:22):
like we're gonna we're gonna like leave the roof open
and we're gonna, you know, it's gonna impact him. Come on, man,
Like none of that stuff had any impact on.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
They're still moving forward, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Well yeah, I mean, look and they got a game
five coming up on Saturday. You get another game five
in the in the ALDS. I will say this, it
doesn't matter who comes out of the NLDS between the
Cubs and Brewers. I don't think anybody's beating the Dodgers.
I don't think it's I think the team that could
have beaten the Dodgers was the Phillies. And the way
that game went last night, like that just tells you
(34:53):
it's just it's the Dodgers era. It's the Dodgers time.
I don't think anybody in the American league has got
a shot against that. But you know, we'll see how
it plays out.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Well.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
I saw in the news yesterday we got another baby
in the NFL family. Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton revealed
he had his ninth number nine.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Why do you say it with that judgy tone?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
It's not judgy. I just can't imagine having nine children.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It's a lot. Yeah, that's that's a lot. But you
know what, can you.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Imagine taking them to Disneyland? How much that would cost?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
No, I listen, don't even don't even get me started.
Disneyland with one kid is such a pain in the ass,
Like is it a complete pain in the ass. It's
also really really expensive. So if you're taking nine kids
there to Disneyland, like and it's what you go to
Disneyland all the time was like two hundred bucks a person.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Yeah, I just saw around Christmas they're charging upwards of
three fifty per ticket, three fifty per ticket one day.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh my god, kids is almost a starting offense though. Yeah, yeah, no,
he's yeah, he's his own team. He's on his way. Yeah,
he's on his way. That's yeah, that's a miserb. I
love what else we got, Ray.
Speaker 7 (36:02):
Well, this is a dream come true for Angel Reese.
She is set to become the first pro athlete to
walk Victoria's Secret fashion show.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Who's Angel Reese?
Speaker 6 (36:12):
You know that one girl who plays on that basketball team.
She got a lot of drama with p WNBA that's it.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
She actually did have a quote she said, stepping into
a dream from Angel to a Victoria's Secret Angel, I'm
finally getting my wings. I'll be walking the Victoria's Secret
twenty twenty five runway show for the first time, and
it feels like Destiny's.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Oh my god. Everything about that league has nothing to
do with that league, you know.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
And that's the thing where it's always.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Drama or it's yeah there's somebody fighting, or somebody's got
something else going on, or they want more money, or
is it's just okay? Like the presentation of that leaves
a lot to be desired.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
But wouldn't she want to walk the runway in basketball shoes?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Are you asking me personally? No, I don't want to
walk the runway all No, I don't know. I'm good,
I don't want to do it. Actually, it's a matter
of fact. What else we looking at?
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Well?
Speaker 6 (37:03):
This was really exciting.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
I know it's not exactly sports, but I know you
love Gwen Stefani and No Doubt and they have really
yes you do.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Nope, don't lie to me.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
You don't like SKA music.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Actually I do have a continue I have a kind
of a two pros and a cup of Joe related
story about Okay, well Stefan.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
That's great.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
They actually have a residency coming to the Sphere in Vegas,
so she's going to be their first female headliner.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
I heard that place is awesome. They did a UFC
event last for UFCA Noce. I think it was last September,
last September, and it was awesome. Like and everybody who's
been to the to sphere because it's not the Sphere,
it's sphear just sphere, Yeah, just sphere. Anybody who's been
there said it's unbelievable. Like I think you two's performed there.
(37:49):
There's been some other acts that to perform there, so
that like, that's probably a really cool setup. It's not
you know, you're not pack of the house, it's not
one hundred thousand people that can fit in that thing,
but just the presentation, the images behind them, like the
way the UFC presented it was awesome. And I don't
know if there's gonna be other sporting events that try that.
Dana White was telling everybody like good luck because it
(38:11):
was such a such a pain in the ass to
get done, but it was awesome. The Gwen Stefani story,
I actually took somebody I was dating at the time
to a Gwen Stefani show at Universal Studio. It was
at the Universal Amphitheater. Oh, And the next morning I
went downstairs to the bar to watch the draft and
(38:34):
I watched Brady Quinn get drafted the next.
Speaker 6 (38:37):
Morning stop this before you worked with him, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Years ago, And so I watched that entire draft downstairs
because she was upstairs doing whatever she was doing. I'm like,
I got to get out of here, and I went
downstairs and watch the whole draft about that.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
That's like, yeah, I love how that works.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
It was meant to be sometimes, yeah, because it was
all meant to be makes all the sense in the world.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Well, maybe Ian can give me little help on this one.
He told me about the story today where there are
fifty thousand dollars in Harrobo gummies missing.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Really, yeah, I saw this on bro Bible, so website
use it for some in case you missed it. Things sometimes,
but yeah, New Jersey police are searching for thousands of
cases of stolen Harrobo gummy bears. It's worth fifty thousand
dollars apparently. I mean, look, people can do whatever they
want with hairbro or hairbro whatever it's called, or bro Bible.
I mean, nothing beats Home Depot because you get tools
(39:30):
that perform at the highest level on every job without compromise.
When you shot Makita at the home depot, when the
job calls for the best call on Makita built to
be the best available at the home depot, how pros
get more done. It's been a fun one. Thanks Terrara,
