through the end of the hour nine am Eastern times
six o'clock Pacific right here Fox Sports Radio. So we

(01:03):
talked about the the Baker Mayfield situation. He is still
a member of the Cleveland Browns. Uh. There was some
discussions back and forth about potentially Baker Mayfield being involved
in some sort of a trade during draft weekend. That
did not happen. So we wait to see how this
is all going to play out for Baker and the
Browns and where he ends up. The other name that's
out there, uh is Deebo Samuel. And we saw a J.

(01:26):
Brown obviously get dealt We saw Hollywood Brown get traded
as well to Hollywood Brown. Big fan of up on game,
big big fan of t J. Houshman Zada and LaVar
Arrington and Plaxio Burrows. But nonetheless, Deebo Samuel is still
a member of the San Francisco forty Niners. He has

(01:48):
not been traded um and according to John Lynch, the
general manager excuse me in San Francisco, Deebo Samuel, nothing
has changed. Uh. They feel the way that they feel.
But Lynch did try and update the media. This was
over the weekend. You know, we were convicted that Deebo
uh is a tremendous fit for this team. And uh,

(02:09):
you know, as I said during the press or the
other day, Uh, you know, I would love to share
with everyone, but I think there is a sanctity to
the privacy of those conversations, and so we're gonna keep
it as such. Um so you know, we listened, but
you know, nothing moved us, and it was going to
take something spectacular because I think he's a spectacular player.
I know he is. One of the reports out there

(02:31):
say the Niners were offered the number ten pick from
the Jets and a fifth round pick for Deebo Samuel
and a second The Detroit Lions reportedly also had something
to offer for Deebo Samuel, but as John Lynch said,
nothing moved him. So now we sit with a Deebo
Samuel still a forty Niner. So there's that. I mean,
I just think at some point, do you think the

(02:53):
forty Niners are just taking a hardline approach, Like, listen,
we're not going to play the game every other team
in the NFL is playing. We're We're just We're like,
if you want to come in and offer up something significant,
that's fine, but we're not gonna cave and we plan
on him being here next season. I mean, that's the
tough thing is is he only has one year left
on his deal, and so the forty Niners should want

(03:14):
to you know, look at paying him or extending him.
If they believe as much as John Lynch says they do,
they should be working on a long term contract extension.
The problem is it comes down to value. And so
I think, what if I was in debos shoes and
I felt like the organization is not going to trade me,

(03:36):
I would try to sign as short of a deal
as possible, with as much money up front as possible.
I think the guaranteed that signing mark. You'd want to
try to surpasses the fifty seven million, which he probably
won't be able to. But let's just say fifty million.
That'd be my aiming point. And then I would say,
and so let's say it's a three year extension, so
you'd rip up you know, this year, but you would

(03:58):
include that, you know, kind of as part of it
would really be a two year extension, but you have
three years. Like that would be the That would be
my goal if I was depo and I felt like
I don't want to have to sit out and do
the whole hold out thing and and and force that hand.
Let's keep playing. Let's see where I end up. You
know what I can do in the next couple of years,

(04:19):
and if I could replicate what I did a year ago,
which is hard to do in the NFL, I'll even
have more of a case where they've got to pay me,
So that that might be one of the thoughts that's
going on right now with him and his agent. But
I don't know, maybe just that that offer wasn't sweet
enough for the Jets. It's sure as heck seemed like
it was. But that ship has sailed. You know, they

(04:40):
went with Gara Wilson. They've already moved on with with
you know, their draft, the way they went about doing it,
And the tough thing is, I think for the forty
Niners and correct me if I'm wrong, if you guys
were watching the draft and you think otherwise, But you
know I didn't. I didn't necessarily look at what the
forty Niners did in the draft and say to myself like, oh, um,

(05:00):
you know they were they were looking to replace Deebo Samuel.
I mean, they got Danny Gray, who's a hell of
a player at s m U, and he's not Debo
in the sense of like what Debo can do out
of the backfield or you know, get the ball in
his hands like that. To be a more physical guy
yards after contact. But he is fast and he will
perform well in a Kyle Shanahan system. But again, I

(05:23):
didn't look at him as like the replacement the debo,
just a different type of player. So I think had
they gone in the second round and um, you know,
drafted a wide receiver along with what they did in
the third round and drafting a wide receiver, maybe it
feels a little different. Like the buddies in the wall,
I didn't get that feeling from watching their draft. I
just feel like where we're at now, we're again. I'm

(05:45):
going to continue to drill down the fact that the
rules of engagement, the protocol of how white receivers handled
getting their contracts is changing right in front of our faces.
I mean, that's just how I feel about it. I
think that we can use all the logic that that
we want, but in the end, these these receives, these

(06:07):
receivers are wanting and demanding what they feel is their
true value as it applies to the importance of what
they bring to the position, and that's what they're they're
leaning on, whether deserving or not, whether he can come
back and have that production or not. Regardless if if
you are in the conversation of elite receiver in this league,

(06:30):
it seems as though the evolution of how it's almost
like how it was with running backs while running backs
were the hottest commodity out there. I mean, and obviously
Ezekiel Elliott messed it up for everybody, you know, I mean,
I hate to do that, but he well he kind
of sort of has never had a great year really

(06:51):
like the ones he had prior to getting his his
major payday, and you know, he held out and waited
for it. You know. I just think that the way
that these these receivers are doing it now, there is
a commitment to this is the number that this is
the range I want to be in, and I'm not
and I Am not going to budge on being in

(07:13):
this this range of what my contract is going to be.
I mean, I just and the Odell Beckham stuff. I
don't know what that was. Did you guys see what
Odell Beckham was doing on Twitter? Like you sent out
some weird tweets saying Deebo Samuel to the Patriots, and
Debo was kind of like, wait what and then he
just like when all I apologize it's just the whole

(07:35):
thing's weird. Receivers are weird. They're a little different because
they're on islands. That's why corner they say cornerbacks and
receivers they're wired differently, just different, different type of people
because they're they're loners. They're they're not really loners, but
they're alone. They're out there, they're by themselves, you know,
when they're going downfield. It's just they're different, weird. I

(07:55):
also think it plays into their position having more of
an ego, because there's this thought that to LaVar's point
of them being on an island, like they're out doing
it themselves, right, Like like they're the ones out there
doing They're the ones out there like making that play,
whether it's it's on offense or defense. And so there's
almost like this feeling of like, you know, if you're

(08:15):
a quarterback, I love my old linement, like like they're
always a byproduct of my success. If they're blocking, well,
I'm gonna be able to throw the football well. Right.
If if you're running back, same thing. If they're blocking
the guys up front, I can get the second level,
I'm gonna have a shot of doing something special, right,
and even though the offensive line plays just as big
of an impact on those wide receivers and their ability

(08:38):
to catch the ball because that passes and getting off
unless you have protection and then your quarterback obviously putting
a spot you can go get it, there's still this
element of, you know, a wide receiver feeling like, well,
they're running the route, they're the ones making the play,
and they're the ones getting across the goal line and
that's all them. So there there is a bit of
this like weird egotistical, you know, way in which I

(08:59):
think they view the game. And there's also like this
emotional component where you can do your job. If you're
a wide receiver, you can block your tail off, you
can run routes as precise as you were asked to
do the right routes depending on the coverage that they
changed to it the snap of the football, if it's
pressed or if he's off of you, all that stuff.

(09:21):
You could be you could do your job perfect for
an entire game and not get one ball, and that
could be frustrating, right, That's why you see some of
you guys just throw tirades and they get frustrated about it.
Like there is elements of that, and and that's why,
and that's why I think it's just a unique, unique,
weird position. And so as a quarterback, you always appreciated

(09:43):
the guys, at least as wide receivers that weren't the
guys who created a bunch of you know, emotional stirs
and they just did their job and when the ball
came the way, they caught the football and they did
their job or they made a play like those are
the guys you always appreciated the most. I mean, there's
a chance that that the Niners could take a real
step back next year because we don't know what Trey
Lance is. We're assuming they're going to move on from

(10:04):
Jimmy Garoppolo, and then if they do trade Deebo Samuel.
I mean, look, I I still think Seattle is probably
the worst team in the division, But it would not
surprise me if San fran missed the missed the playoffs
next year. Even in a down NFC. You've got to
think that Garoppolo is not going to be dealt from
the Forts to Seattle in the division just doesn't make sense.

(10:26):
Baker has to be thinking that that's his most likely
landing spot is Seattle. I mean, I just Caroline already
took a quarterback, and I know it wasn't that high,
but and and even then they already went to the
two thousand eighteen draft class with Sam Donald. I don't
think they're making that move again. So I look at
the landscape and just say, I don't know. I mean,

(10:47):
maybe maybe you look at Houston and you say, would
he be going there? If Davis Mills isn't the guy
then he comes in there and it pans out. Maybe
that's a thought or Seattle. But outside of that, I
just I don't know where else he would end up
because it's not like Pittsburgh's reality anymore. We talked about, Hey,
if he got cut, would he end up in Pittsburgh,
that'd be That'd be fun to see what would happen there.

(11:08):
Kenny Pickets the guy. Now, so that's not a realistic scenario.
You know, maybe the Giants, Like if I was him,
I would hope they'd cut me at this point, so
I have my pick and I could go to the
Giants because I don't think that Daniel Jones experiment is
gonna work out, and I think that roster is gonna
be a lot better suited than people realized to have
some success and Bakers maybe thriving that. And also, I
mean he's already, uh, you know, removed Tyrod Taylor from

(11:30):
a starting job once before, so apparently he would just
follow the trend line there in New York because he
is the backup at this point. So who do you
guys think? Who? If you had your choice, he's healthy,
Garoppolo is healthy, Jimmy Garoppolo or Baker? You take Garp
I think I think here's the problem. The upside with Baker,

(11:51):
I think is higher, but I also think you might
have a lower floor. So there's there's like volatility there, right,
Like you could one week get this and the next
week get that, and we're Jimmy G is a little
more of a steady hand. But to me, there's too
much of an injury concern with him. I mean, so
which one about Baker last year? But at least he
played through the stuff, so as did Jimmy G. I guess,

(12:13):
but I'll say this, I'll say Baker, but it's close, man,
And I think it has to do more with his
age and maybe durability. I guess to a certain degree,
it's two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with the Here on
fs are. Coming up next, we've got some major drama
in the world of football. Things are getting spicy between

(12:33):
a couple of teams. We'll have that for you next
year on fs ARE. Be sure to catch live editions
of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn,
LaVar Arrington and Jonas knocks week days at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox
Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks with the

(12:56):
Here on fs are Coming up later on this hour,
We've got another edition of the b Q new on
a Monday, So I'm sure lots of a juicy material
from a long weekend coming up a little over twenty
minutes from now Here on fs are. So we've we've
talked about the well listen, I mean, you know, I
just trying to sell it, you know, just it's my motto,

(13:17):
over promise, under deliver, right, That's the art of us,
that is the art for you. Definitely, thank you totally
embrace that. Thank you appreciate it. Yeah, I'm glad here man. Yeah.
Now that's shooting from uh so the there's a story

(13:39):
that started to pick up some some momentum over the weekend.
Jordan Addison, who's the All American from pitt the wide receiver,
won the Bullit Nicoff Award UM this past season. Apparently
he's considering transferring now. There was a May first deadline
for him to make his decision or else he'd have
to get a waiver for this next season. But one

(14:01):
of the teams that's out there that people are looking
at um and and there's been the word tampering being
thrown around, is USC And apparently, according to Pete Famil
of ESPN, Patent our Doozy, the head coach at Pitt UM,
he called Lincoln Riley at USC. They had some very
poignant conversations. Patton our Doozy was not happy about some

(14:24):
of the rumblings about this this going on. But here
we go again. This is another stud player at pitt
who's returning next season. But apparently there's a real chance
he's not gonna be returning to the pit Panthers. He's winner, right,
receiver college football, so really talented player. He'll be a

(14:44):
first round pick next year. You can see why any team,
whether it's Pitt or Southern cow would want them. Here's
the problem with college football, and I do think we're
at an inflection point where if we don't, if someone
doesn't step into something, we're gonna start to tarnish the
sport and what it looks like. And and here's the
reality of what this sport has been pretty much throughout

(15:06):
its existence. This sport has been built up for the fans.
It really has been. It hasn't been for the players.
Because the players are now finally being able to capitalize
off of their name, image and likeness. And if you
think about it, you know not that the n c
A makes a ton of money from college football, but
all these conferences and universities do, and they've been able

(15:27):
to profit off of essentially free labor. So that that
that's what's gone on forever. And now we're moving closer
to a model where you're gonna see these players become
employees at these universities. And that's for another conversation for
another day. But n I L is not what has created.
What's happening right now in college football. If you think

(15:48):
that's the case, you're dead wrong. It's not. It's it's
trans it's the transferport, and it's it's how we're allowing
these kids, are young men, to be able to get
out of any commitment whatsoever. I mean, it is as
simple as saying this, let's provide a one month window

(16:09):
where these young men have the opportunity to transfer if
they want, if they so choose, and they get one
free be at it. Just like now. Instead, you've got
this year long ability for any kid at any point
to jump onto a roster and go I don't like
it here, or someone calls up. Let's just say a
coach from another team or a player from another team

(16:32):
calls up and says, hey, we'd love to have you here,
you know, and then they can sell you on we'll
have this n i L deal for you here. Okay, great,
But even if the n i L deal was there,
if you shut off the ability of the student athlete
to just up and leave at any point time during
the season or throughout the year, he's gonna at least
commit for a year until that next window opens up.

(16:54):
So there's actually some sort of sense of commitment by
that player at least for that year. And so right now,
this this inflection point has gotten to where we're we're
looking at a college level game of football that's really
being orchestrated like a professional league. However, we don't have

(17:15):
the safeguards, we don't have a union, we don't have
this structure where there's a little bit more black and
white instead of just all this gray area. And so
this is just one example of many. Look, it's if
Southern col was tampering, they're not the first. That's that's
the truth. Other schools have been doing this since the
transfer portal was put in place. Okay, that's that's that's

(17:37):
been there, that's been there for a while. Now it's
the reality of now people are doing it, or teams
are doing it, and they're using n I L money,
which is above board to do it. Now. The only
problem with that is is that's considered inducement, and there's
no one right now cracking down on any sort of

(17:58):
quote unquote inducement there. It's Jordan's addison with Southern Cow potentially,
and what proof there is of that, and who's overseeing,
who's the governing body that's gonna step in and say
something or do something, or the young you know kid
in southern California. It's a quarterback who gets quote unquote
an eight million dollar deal, some of which he's already
been paid, and you're saying, well, how is that not

(18:19):
inducement to make sure he goes to that university, which
just because they put whatever they put in the contract.
I mean, that's the problem with this is there's there's
really no governance over any of this, and so it
feels like the wild, wild West, and that's how things
are operating right now. I just think it's there's so
many moving parts. Clearly, I mean everybody has made well

(18:41):
not everybody, but people have made the argument that you know,
coaches have been able to leverage the college system to
do just that. Use it like a transfer portal, like
an n I l like I'm going to go to
the college that I mean, look at what Lincoln Rally
just did. Look at what USC is doing with how
they're approaching you know, the whole Lincoln Rally hiring. So

(19:04):
it's it's for me, it's just so many more that
that it kind of raises the stakes in terms of
how you view it and how things are being done.
But my one of one of the things that I'm
seeing with with all these kids, because I deal with
a lot of these kids on a daily basis, it's

(19:25):
further perpetuating the feeling of entitlement of of really in
a lot of ways. In a lot of cases, um,
they're they're delusional, you know. College athletes are a little
bit delusional in the sense that what their opportunities are

(19:45):
and what can come of it. For all the big
stories that we see with the Addison's and and the
Caleb Williams and the Rattlers, there are a whole bunch
of other names that enter to transfer portal and are
sitting at home right now on their couch going to
a junior college because no one picked them up. We're

(20:06):
not hearing about the horror stories yet. We haven't. We
haven't seen anybody become you know, addicted to to painkillers
or anything. And and it's it's being attributed to them
just sitting at home not getting another opportunity. There's a
very very dark side and another side to this whole
transfer portal type of deal. While I will agree and

(20:29):
say that the n I L is not the direct
part problem to all of this, because it does give
them the opportunity to be able to create monetary um
monetization of their brands. I will I will say that
having this whole transfer portal and being able to leverage
the n I L to get the kids you want

(20:50):
into the transfer portal is is quickly and far and
wide becoming the issue that's going to have to be
looked at and addressed in some ways somehow, at some point,
possibly monitored and regulated, because there's no there's no slowing
there's no slowing this freight train down at this point

(21:11):
in time. It's it's that's the hard part is I
don't know anyone in Congress who wants to run on
this platform. I mean, you've got a stark stock market
that's taken on the worst month we've seen since two
thousand and eight back in the housing market crash, and
there's a lot of people out there who are watching
inflation and just trying to pay for you know, simple
you know goods out there, fill up their gas tank,

(21:32):
put food on the table. There's so many other issues
in this country right now. You've got a war in
Ukraine that people are constantly monitoring to see, you know,
is Russia using you know, chemical weapons. Does that provide
a path where all of a sudden the US has
to get more involved because of that? I mean, there's
there's all sorts of issues out there right now that
I think if you ask Congress members, they'd say they're
more important than talking about you know, college football and

(21:55):
and how it relates to the federal laws or state
laws state by state. So I don't I don't think
Congress is gonna come in and save them. I think
it's gonna collectively take the Power five conferences and really
those conference commissioners UH and other leaders within the college
football community to come together and say, come on, let's
let's figure out a common ground, or let's figure out

(22:15):
at least, you know, let's split up divisions where we've
got a model where we've got players who are employees,
you know, who are being compensated for their play, and
let's start to put together that model. And we can
have other universities that say, we don't really foresee that
being something that's attractive to us. You'd rather keep them
a student first and student athletes, and we're gonna go

(22:36):
this route. There's nothing, there's nothing wrong with that, So
I think we're honestly headed there, you know, probably the
next year or two and that will help with was
sorting out some of this. But there's there's no hero
coming in. There's no Superman coming in to save the day.
That's the problem. And I think every school is trying
to abide by what they believe the rules are. But

(22:57):
that's a different interpretation depending on where you are. And
if you're a desperate blue blood, and I think you
kN know who I'm talking about, you'll do anything to
make it work, right. I mean, you'll do anything for
perception to make it look whether it's saying that there
was more people at your spring game than there actually were,
or calling up some of the best players around the
country and utilizing n I L money to induce them

(23:19):
to come to your school. There's I mean tampering, whatever
you wanna call it. When you're desperate, when you're a
desperate blue blood like Southern cal Is like, you'll you'll
push whatever out, blow up you can and try to
make it look like it's above board, because at this
point there's so much grayer it's hard to sell. Uh.
They're they're poking some fun at some earlier quotes this
offseason from Lincoln Riley where he said, quote, I think

(23:40):
at some point we'll have to put in some guardrails,
some ways to ensure when this can happen, when this
can happen, so that players, staff all that are a
little bit more on the same page. But in the meantime,
let me go ahead and display by the rules that
we got going on now, and I'll try and grab
the bullet Nicoff winner and and add him to the wrongs.
You think about it, you can wait for another program
to develop up a kid and then just go outate

(24:02):
them for the kid. I mean, that's kind of where
and that's where kind of recruiting. So now you're not
recruiting high school anymore because the portal allows them to
do that. You know, if you if you forget about
the money, the money has always been there there. There
have been kids being paid by you know, schools coming
out of high school. You know, I remember hearing on

(24:24):
one one one of my stops, someone's like, well, we
try to recruit that kid, but you know we didn't
offer him as much as another, you know, another school
was able to. I'm saying, they're going what offer what
do you mean. I'm like, oh, yeah, they're going rate
for a high school five star quarterback. I'm going okay.
I mean, the NFL stuff has brought on its own issues,
you know, and a lot of it's that's not the kids.

(24:44):
It's not the kids, folks like, it's all the adults
in the room who who continually try to take advantage
of what you know, of what is an what they
see as an opportunity. And so it's guys who are
agents are acting as agents of high school kids who
are being recruited. It's those people. Sometimes in all honesty,
it's the moms and dad's out there. I mean, they're

(25:05):
just as much to blame, you know, for some of
this with the way they've acted. Um, it's it's all
of it. But the reason why this is able to
take places because these kids can up and leave. They
can literally up and leave. And so unless they do
something about the transfer portal, it's it's going to continue
to be an issue for a while. And if people
don't understand what up and leave means. There was a

(25:27):
time where you had to get cleared by the school,
by the coach to be able to leave the school
and go and go transfer somewhere else, generally, and then
you'd have to sit out and generally speaking, right these
were guys that were already having other schools to go to,
whether it was a lower level school, whatever it may be.
These are guys that were seeking bids to go play

(25:49):
for a place that they are already aware of. The
problem that that is surmounting right now and and and
kind of continuing to to kind of develop, is that
you're not allowed to coach these kids anymore. Like there's
no like for me. I couldn't even imagine and listen,

(26:11):
aren't Me and Joe's relationship played out very publicly. People
knew that we didn't really care for each other, and
and it was always in the media. But one thing
is for certain, paternal yeah, Joe, paternal um we we Still.
I still learned so much from trying to navigate and

(26:35):
be a college student, a college athlete, and and be
what I needed to be in terms of fitting into
the fabric of of the environment and the culture that
I was a part of. I had to be ten
minutes early to everything. I had to make it the classes,
I had to maintain a certain g p A. I

(26:55):
couldn't wear jewelry around certain places. I couldn't have chin hair,
You couldn't have your hair beyond a certain point. These
are all things now that people would back at and
say that that's not me. You know, tattoos were frowned upon, this, that,
and the other, and whether you like it or not,
living in those those conditions taught you and in many ways,

(27:21):
and I'm not going to be apologetic about this, how
to be a man. It taught you how to be
a man. To this day. I don't miss work to
this day. I'm not late to this day. I always
I I figure out what my agenda is. I lived
through my agenda. I teach my kids that I I
structure my my my home, my businesses that way. Those

(27:45):
are things that if I had a transfer portal, I
would not I would not have had to go through
fire and iron sharpening iron if if this was the
day and age that we lived in, because it would
have been for someone myself too easy to go somewhere else.
And the problem they're going to run into is you're

(28:06):
gonna go to that somewhere else and they're still gonna
want to coach you, and you're still gonna have to
be coachable and then what do you do? So now
you're creating a bad habit of Okay, I came here,
I got this, n I l money. But what I
didn't think about was they're still going to coach me,
They're still going to be rules, they're still going to
be disciplined that is applied. Well, I don't like being

(28:28):
treated that way, and y'all pay me too much and
I'm too important for you to do that. So if
you don't treat me this way, I'm going somewhere else.
The problem we're running into is that is a delusional approach.
It is a weak approach. It is a lack of
development approach, and that's going to to mess with the

(28:49):
maturity and and the development of this next generation of
college athletes that are are going through this these systems.
It's it's very it's disruptive, it's it's not to me,
it's not and conducive to an environment where you can

(29:10):
raise and develop fine operationally, you know, sensibly speaking young
adults for real world situation. I don't mind kids get
having an opportunity to make some money. I think I've
been thinking that they should have that should have been
happening years ago, and and legally what it's turned into
either somebody didn't think this through before they made the

(29:31):
decision to start legalizing all this or whatever. But it's
a mess, man. I can't stand it. I got yeah,
I just And here's the other issue with right now
with the transfer portal, because the rule is that you
get one freebee and then you'd have to lose eligibility.
But here's what happens these kids nowadays between summer school
or what they'll come in sometimes with from high school.
They're graduating in like three or three and a half years,

(29:53):
so they're on an accelerated path. And what that means is,
let's say I sort off at one school my freshman year,
I think any playing time now, I'm answering the portals.
My sophomore year, okay, played a little bit. By my
junior year, I'm balling out and I'm graduating. Oh, I
gotta be a grad transfer. There's no penalty for me
going another time and I still have eligibility. So so

(30:13):
think about that, Like, based on how it's currently constructed,
these kids could literally transfer twice if they wanted, and
you you could say utilize the n I l if
you want, but try to, you know, put their services
up within a a four or five year timeframe. That's
it's fascinating because you can't even do that at the

(30:34):
NFL level. Like, think about that. When you sign a contract,
which is really what these kids are asked to do.
Not at the college level. They commit, you sign, you
sign your letter intent. You basically sound like a one
year agreement with with the school, but you really are
are committing or you're signing your letter intent to go
there for four years. When you sign up to go
there out of college or out of high school, you're saying,

(30:55):
I'm gonna play here, get my degree here, and move forward. Right,
four year commitment, maybe some kid just five with the
red Tree year. Right. They these they're they're able to
balance if they want twice within that time. Friend and
you and literally it's it's you know, how many pros
which they have the opportunity to hit freegee twice in
a four or five year period, And that's what this is.
So it's a little bit mind boggling the way it's

(31:16):
set up and how no one could come in and say,
all right, this is getting a little out of control here,
let's try to figure it out. Um, but look, the
Pact twelve is not gonna step in. I don't know why,
because they need Southern Cow to win. They're They're irrelevant
right now. It's irrelevant. You know. It's one of the
reasons why I picked the under ONWN. How many players
are gonna get drafted on the Pact twelve in the

(31:37):
first round. It's no disrespect to those players, but those players,
largely in the West Coast, are going somewhere else. They're
going somewhere else to play. They're not staying in the
Pac twelve. I'm sorry, Like, this isn't a news flash.
Just been happening for years now, and so they've got
to find a way of being able to recruit and
getting you know, some of their top schools of blue
blood like Southern Cow to be competitive. So the commissions

(32:00):
like a step in and say anything why they need
USC to be part of college football in the playoff.
They need them to be important again. And until that
actually starts happening, you know, they're gonna be home. No
one's gonna stay up on the East Coast and watch
those late night patch Wall games. It's just the reality
of it. It's Two Pros and a Cup of Joe,

(33:50):
that news, Yeah, crap gate, she's set the testified facts
for jin Yeah, that's right. However, she's not happy about
the headlines she's being portrayed throughout this lawsuit. So she
fired her PR team, a crisis PR firm called Precision Strategies.

(34:14):
She fired them late last week. She doesn't like how
things are being portrayed about her side of all of this.
I mean, is it their fault? She took a crap
in a bed, right, You can't I mean, be accountable
what you want to you can't put you I mean

(34:35):
you can, but that's not gonna say that might not
do much. She's she's not hired consulting firm, Shane Communications.

to do it. Let's let's transition to a woman who well,

(35:19):
she didn't want to be displaced by her landlord when
he found out she had a pet allow pets in
this specific property, So she decided to marry her cat.
And uh, that was the illegal workaround from getting evicted
from her place hold, deb Hodge. She's forty nine years old.

(35:41):
I know, and and I meant the cat well, so
it's a cute cat. It looks like, honestly your typical
I was really going to say something inappropriate. It was
it's about fifty two, thought two, and I'm gonna leave
it as she married her cat. She married a cat.
His name India. What a loser? You get it and

(36:07):
I'm glad you did it because I was ready to
do it. She's her job as a life coach. I
wonder how this is the next turn in her life
that she decided Well, let's well, let's be honest. I mean,
are you really going to take life advice from some
dead end who's marrying a cat so she doesn't get evicted?

(36:31):
I mean, what a loser? Yeah, I mean I'd love
to sit down with one of her exes just be like, Hey,
when did you know that you were going to lose
your chicks? Like when did you know a short lightening
stuff on fire? Like what was going on at the
house that you knew I got to get out of
this relationship? What a disaster where you tripped out when

(36:53):
you saw here using the cat nip? Was that the
first indicator? Was that? The giveaway? What was it? He
was that dick Edinburgh burn? Yeah, this is Dick Enberg
talking about a cat that ran onto the field right there.
They got rest his soul grade? Yeah, alright, last one here. Um,

(37:19):
as you could imagine, if a four year old got
behind a vehicle, it's not gonna end. Well, that's the
case here. No one was injured. However, a four year
old boy after his dad went off to work on
a Saturday, his mom was still sleeping. He went ahead
and thought, I'll just take mom's keys and take the
car off for a joy ride in his pajamas and
barefoots Well, end up hitting a couple of vehicles. Got

(37:39):
out there like a boss and uh. Eventually the cops
are called and unfortunately, again everyone's safe. Four years old,
four years old, surprising even reached the paler. He was
trying to go get some McDonald's. Yeah, but how's he
reaching the pedals? That's a big big, oh my god. Ah.
