Killed a white wolf and made a coat out of it.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It was a rescue. It was a rescue. I have
a taxi. I have a taxidermy lion.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So they rescued white wolf but then killed it and
skinned it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Well, they didn't kill it. They was rescued, he was
he passed away.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Oh and so instead of like I don't any ham
or bearing.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, I don't. Just I wouldn't do animal cruelty, Like
I wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, go kill a wolf
so I can have a fur coat.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
It's getting called out. Put them in the driveway, step
on the gas.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
I don't know, but like, hold on, this actually goes
to a different path. I mean, boss hog. It's not
like Jonas like made a jacket out of his or
a blanket or whatever the hell you wan.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
He was a master. If you keep it high and
tight with mastives, you know, you could attack the derm
eat them.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, you could have created a rug out of it. Yeah,
that wouldn't create You don't want to walk on them.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Having mounted like you know, that would that wouldn't create
any issues.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Uh, you know, so it was your dog and that
when it died you had him turn it into a jacket.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
No, it was a wolf.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It was a rescue.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Though it was a rescue, the story of it was.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It was a seed rescued, by the way.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yes, there's plenty of rescue wolves.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
You feel like they're pretty bad ass, Like I feel
like they're they're good and they get.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Shot up bad ass too. You know, they come on
with somebody you ain't. Never watch Yellowstone. They'll get you now.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, I have what I'm saying. They'll pop you.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know, them them farmers, they'll pop you if they
see if they see him come up on there. You know,
these white wolf coats are pricey.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Let me see, I mean, let me see so many.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Years, six hundred and ninety bucks. That guy just like
a douche. But I was a douche when I wore it.
You know, I didn't wear very often though.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I just I think I might have worn it to
like maybe two games. Coincidentally, ironically enough, it was probably
in a place like Kansas City when it was cold.
You know, why wouldn't I was cold.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I'm just selling got it because I was cold.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
You know, it was with like wolves on them. I'm
not seeing an actual like wolf fur coat. It was
a white wolf to I see the one is on
the wall on Postmark Jonas.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, it was like the wolf head as part of it.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Uh yeah, I saw that one. Yeah, No, I didn't.
It didn't have a wolf head on it. There's another guy,
guy who's wearing leather pants.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
First I might have had leather pants on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
No shirt.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
What a necklace?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That sounds like some prince type stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I'm telling you, I was weird. It's like I'm looking
at wolfstuff dot com.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I had no idea that this was also.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You don't know who owns that.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You don't know the guy who was like, you know what,
I'm gonna start a website wolfstuff dot com.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, I got I got it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That guy trigga his morning coffee right now. It's like genius.
No one thought of this. I'm going to corner the
wolf market.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I wanted a fur coat, but I didn't want to
perpetuate anything, any creation being hurt for me to have
a so I didn't research. The tax found me. I
wanted old wolf coat.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
The taxi durmything weird.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Someone else shot the wolf to then make them take
it into skin.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
It No that they didn't shoot it. There was no
shooting involved. It was a rescue.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Don't get that.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Rescue And then it has like a card like it
had like a card in this or something the history,
like a sanctuary.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Like you said, things create, so we need to bring
it in and put it behind high fences because it
can't help itself or can't protect itself in the wild.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah, something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Isn't that how nature works?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Like if you're not with the pac man, like you're
subject to whatever happens.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I mean, have you ever seen tiger king, you know?
Or tiger what what was it called?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Is that what it was called with the crazy people?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
But the same thing, like there are there are sanctuaries
that exist around you know, the country, in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
If they're protecting them from people. I get it. But
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Even a lion like the line that I named Mondevu,
like after your nephew, he was he was a rescue.
He was a rescue and they had like it like
the the story. It had his whole story, his whole story,
like they sent the Story of the Iron and like
how he was?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You know? That was allot Maybe it was.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Just it was a it was a Christmas gift and
give us a lion as a Christmas I always wanted
a lion, but who.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Gave it to you?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
My wife?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So Trish found a lion. It was like, yep, he was.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
It was a whole process.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Also, it's like one of those like adopt a kid
who's got bugs on his.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Eyelids, correct commercial ye correct.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh, and that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
And then the kid, you know, goes to the other side,
the great beyond. Yeah, and just for ten cents a
day you can feed.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
And then is like, hey, I'll pay a lot more
ten cents a date for that et phone.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
They pan over and this this uh, this thing's lick
at his balls and they're trying to sell it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
There you go for a second out.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
How you gonna pay for this?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know how much it costs, but it is
a bad ass line.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
For a penny a day, this lion can lick his
balls in your driveway too.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
He was not a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
He was stuffed. He's stuffed.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Oh, he was taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's what I understand. The process. So I don't know,
you're telling me.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
They rescue this thing, they put it in a sanctuary,
you know, high fenced in park, which is not its
natural habitat. It dies, then they skin it afterwards.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Apparently where I got my lion from it was in
Africa and the taxidermists. The taxidermist is could you imagine?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Could you imagine if they're like, no, actually, it was
just how you're hanging out in Texas. But that's fine too.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, we met, we met Africa, Oklahoma. Hey, man, giving
I'm just giving y'all the story. Many Apparently he was
a famed taxidermist. He was retiring, he was getting up
there in age.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
How do you get famous for being a taxidermist. It's
a weird. A lot of different things. Is that it?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I don't know, man, It's just how it was given
to me.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Like, well, I stuffed an elephant, you know, I make
sure to.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
That stuff is is like a really quality taxidermist is
a very very well sought after I'm used a taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I'm not trying to make it seem either like that
I'm discounting the profession.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I'm just saying, like I'd love to know, like the
qualifications of like who's the best? Like how do you know?
Like what are you looking for in that guy?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I mean she found him whoever he was, he's gonna
he's got to switch where it'll wink at you from
time to time.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Pretty sweet. He looked like he'd come to life.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
They needed to make it where like when you walk
in the room, the thing looks so damn really you're like, oh.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
God, it's censored. His eyes and his paw is up
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You're still he's like up and his all is up.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
So you So you guys have gotten a pet tax
dermied like one now pass.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
In the pet taxi. I get them cream.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
We've had yeah, we've had our cremated and.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
He's in like they're in irons, like there remains. I
still have the irons burns, irons, irons urns.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That's the insert in you. Huh.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I guess I couldn't do a taxidermy. I can't.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't that.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
The whole thing creeps me out, Like you walk into
a house and it's basically your dog, but they don't
do it.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Did you bury your dog? Is that how you bet
bury him?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
But please, I feel a level.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I feel a level street comfort. No trash picks up.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Trash pickup is every Tuesday over the street. It was
a Monday, it's twenty four hours later.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, that's not funny.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Put them put him in a glad bag in the street,
two black guys, because he was four fifteen.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
At the time. Bags and uh. And they came by,
you crowd, and.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You still think this is funny.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
You visit him, well, what is the problem, right next
to the recycling can, right next to the yard waste
and recite.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Your dog. And then that's how you dispose of his body.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Hey, we pay for that trash. Do your job. I
had a dull corner, come get dresser. We put him
on the gurney, covered him up, wield him out. Why
are you smiling up?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Just what is wrong with you?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
By the way, the last when we had to put
down our boxer and it was terrible, right on Lisha's birthday,
we had done like a staycation thing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Came home and it was just like we knew it
was time.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Like she she was battling cancer at that point and
she had ripped open from a prior surgery. We had
to try to remove something to help, you know, help
her feel better prolonged life.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And it was just it was a bloodbath. I mean
it was it was nasty what she was because she
was so uncomfortable.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
So yes, she scratched it open, like the whole and
so it was like blood, you know, plus all this stuff.
So we have this veterinarian come over and you know, dude,
I'm gonna I'm getting emotional, and I just looked at
the girl. At one point I was like, so you
just you go around all these different families every day,
like you're just putting down dogs every day.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I'm like, what kind of life is that.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
I'm like questioning this young woman who's like nice enough
to come down and euthanize our dog.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And probably one of the.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Funnier moments was my mom walks in and she's like, oh,
I heard, I wanted to say goodbye whatever, and and
then the vet starts feeding the dog chocolate and she goes, oh, honey.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You should do that kind of look. The vet looked
at my mom like, let the dog enjoy chocolate.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
If we're putting it, we're putting it down in twenty seconds, like,
let the dog enjoy it. But she's trying to like
reprimand this vet there and you're supposed to feed dog's chocolate.
She like didn't really understand the process of what was happening.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Oh man, that's this is a morbid. Uh that's all right, man,
you know, the nerve of you to stimulate this conversation,
I like, listen, this is you know, all just because
that man wanted to be warm and one of these
these cold market you know, places to play.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Where the hell was he at? By the way, probably
an okay.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Z Yeah, I'd assume that was a home home game.
I can't imagine he traveled with that.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, and you did ask Lorraina did ask earlier.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
By the way, I've always wondered this.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Back when you guys were playing, was there a strict
code about what you had to wear to a game?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
To and from a game depended on the coach?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, coach would make that.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Like but yeah, you had to wear a suit and
tie more often than not. Some of them you could
wear sweats, walking suit walking suits.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, that's big. That was a big thingking the walking suit.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
Yeah, It's like it was like the biggest I mean,
there's so many things about the water do you have
a walking suit?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Is Jonas?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
No, it's it doesn't someone have a It's not a coat.
It's like it's almost like a shirt. It's like a
button down.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Long shirt that you wear out.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
You don't see it looks like a suit coat, but
it's not.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Yeah, yeah, it's like a shirt. It's more comfortable. And
then the pants the exact.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
What they're called walkers and the walking.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Suit and then and and the pants are the exact
same like fabin.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Material, it's the same thing.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
It's like it's like one big piece of whatever material
it is is what these dudes will wear.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And the funny thing is they they cloth their guys
be charged them like the exact same amount. Is basically
like what a suit is. He's like, now you're gonna
walk it suit, it's about the same price.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, they got short sleeves, they got long sleeves. We
could turn it into short a short set.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Like all right, I gotta ask the questions, is this
a black thing or a white thing? I never saw many
white guys were walking suits.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I was about to say it was a very stereotypical
outfit for for pro pro athletes.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, my rookie year, I was like, what is that?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
But there was some cats that would tuck them in,
They would tuck the shirt in.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I never saw anyone.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
They have them all with some gators, and I was like, hell, yeah,
that's a look, it's.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
A bit just so we're helling. I'm telling the truth here.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I googled walking suits for men and I went to
images and it's literally.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
All black guys at entire page of black guys.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
That guy might be Puerto Rican, but I mean, you
know we're splitting hairs here.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I think it may have been one lineman that I
know that had one, maybe two, but it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Was it was on our side. We claimed him. Yeah, probably.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
But here's the thing is, for anyone who saw like
Orris worn a walking suit, you know, it is a
thousand times more comfortable than actually wearing a suit or
actually wearing like dressed pants and a jack and a
button up and a belt and all that.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And that was like the gid.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I was like, damn, this shouldn't even that shouldn't even count,
Like these duds are getting away with the dress code
just because they're wearing walking suits.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
But it was a thing, man, it still is.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
They look comfortable. I don't know that it's still a thing.
Like long suits. Long suits were in when I was
in the league, and I know that's not in anymore.
Like I'm talking like down mid thigh.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Didn't they do it for the draft? Kind of making
fun of it the other year?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yeah, it was like Lebron and Carmelo and all those guys.
Dwyane Wade, I believe.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I thought. I thought a recent class just did that
and they were making fun of that.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
I don't know, I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I look this up. I feel like I saw pictures
of like them.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Suits is a trip though. Old school suits are a
trip man compared to nowadays. I remember Chris Webber had one.
I believe long suit like juke suits. Yeah, you know,
like like cab callaways.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
But you know what, that's the way fashion works. It's
going to come back into style. Baggy, baggy baggs.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Are coming back. I don't like it. I don't like.
I don't like the trending away from the tight super tight.
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I don't care what dudes wear.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But yeah, I'm with you on that, Like you go
from yoga pants to baggy jeans.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm not with the ladies. You're working in the wrong direction.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
It's the wrong direction. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
What's on stuff? Like that's your Nope.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You hear that, Lorena, Yes, I heard, And actually I
have mixed feelings on it.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Why I get the comfort aspect of it, But like,
are yoga pants not comfortable?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
No? I love yoga pants. I wear my workout pants
all the time. That should be every day.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
But sometimes I see ladies who are wearing yoga pants
and I'm like, you don't even do yoga, And I can.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Tell oh damn, So you know, are good for people?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Lora a Smith yoga pants shaming people?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
That's crazy because she's skinny. That's wild. I can't stand
when skinny people, naturally skinny people make fun of us.
It is skinny fat. It is the wildest thing ever us,
the wildest thing ever. Man. It's a real struggle, man,
all right, it's a real struggle.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
All right.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Okay, have you ever tried to gain weight and not
been able to gain weight? It's not it's not a
problem I deal with.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Man.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Man is fighting. My son is fighting to get three
more pounds on and keep the pounds on. Right now,
I said, son, there will come a time where the
Arrington Jean kicks in. Do not fight to try to
gain weight. Just eat the way you're supposed to eat,
(18:46):
take your protein, do your workouts. That gene will kick in.
You'll be all right. I fight it every day. Now.
Everybody out there listening, y'all think I'm doing a bit
right now, I'm not. I fight wait every day. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We love it, man, but you are not obese. You
need to stop this.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
You got a puzzling why that's the approach you take
with self value it.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I just don't understand why you guys like I get it.
I've I've learned to accept it. I fight. I fight
it and and one day, maybe potentially I'll win. You know,
I'll win against weight. You look great.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I know.

LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up a little over fifteen minutes from now, we are
going to hand out an award on this show. That'll
be yours right here on FSR. But we did get
a little bit of an update, kind of uh oh
from Aaron Rodgers and the situation involving him the Steelers
(21:12):
and what his plans are for the future. He was
on the Pat McAfee show starring AJ Hawk yesterday. He
discussed and had some kind words for his former coach
now current coach of the Steelers, Mike McCarthy, and also
where things are at from a contract standpoint with the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Mike's one of the great guys in the league. Just
an absolutely exceptional human being with a huge heart. We
had a lot of great years together, a lot of
a lot of fun. I loved my time with Mike
over the years. Obviously there were some some times it's
like a you know, it's like a like a big
brother where you sometimes you love him, sometimes you pissed
at him. But deep down there's so much love for
for Mike and appreciation for the time we spent together.
(21:51):
I've talked to Mike, I've talked to Omar. There's been
no deadline that's been you know, that's been put in
front of me. There's no contract, you know, off of
or anything. So there's nothing that I'm you know, having
to debate between I'm you know, free agent and you
know again I'm I'm enjoying my time with my wife
(22:11):
and enjoying this part of the off season, and and
you know, I think there's conversations to be add down
the line, but right now I'm not not There hasn't
been any progressive conversations.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
I don't want to sound the alarm because I know
that there's still time. But if you're the Steelers with
the new league year starting next week, wouldn't you want
an answer at some point or have some sort of
clarity pretty quickly here on who's going to be your
quarterback next year? Like it feels like there's going to
be some options, and I would assume you'd want to
(22:49):
get that handled and get that straightened out so you
can kind of move forward with the off season plans
you'll like you.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
My thoughts are, yeah, you want some clarity, but I
think more that clearly is gonna come at the draft.
So you know, either you make a move, they try
to take a guy like Ty Simpson, or you could
say you're going to bring in another free agent or
trade for a guy. But the reality is, if Rogers
(23:19):
decides to come back, he's the guy probably even regardless
of who you draft.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
I mean, I think that's the hard part about all
this is you're kind of hanging in limbo if you're Pittsburgh,
and there's elements of that that played out last year.
I think the only difference is now, you know, you've
got the same guy who knows the city, knows the organization,
he knows the personnel, he knows the offense, even though
it's new to everyone else, not new to him. So
there's all those elements that would make it easier depending
(23:49):
on how long it takes him to make a decision.
But I think it's hard.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Man.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
It's hard to want to say, hey, we have to
close that door, but at the same time try moving
on to you know, you've got to be able to
find a way of threatening the needle where if you
can get him back, you get him back, but you.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Also have the plan of the future.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
And I think that might be one of the harder
conversations too, to have, is if you bring in Rodgers
and you still spend a first round draft pick on
the guy who's going to replace him after this year.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Does he want that? Does he want to go to
a situation where it's like that.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
You know, if you're Minnesota and you're selling him, if
you're Kevin O'Connell on you come in here for a year,
let JJ McCarthy sit and watch.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Develop, you know, learn from you.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Then we feel like there's a better chance for him
being able to be the quarterback we hope he can be.
You know, that might be their game plan. Maybe that's
more attractive to Aaron Rodgers because he knows what he's
dealing with, Like he knows he's the guy for the year,
he knows what they're looking for out of the guy
behind him, and you're just trying to win as many
games as possible to get to a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So every situation is different.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
I don't know that you know, Pittsburgh has that guy
behind him, and they took Will Howard last year in
the sixth round. I'm not sure they feel like he's,
you know, the air apparent of the future. So, uh,
it's it's just a more gray situation I think for
for what the plan would be in Pittsburgh all around
(25:12):
you know that team they just released John new Smith,
you know, so so what does this like roster really
look like even if Rogers comes back, Like, are you
just kind of running it back with the same group
you had last year for the most part.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Uh, my first my first take on it was the
fact that Aaron Rodgers is saying there is no contract
and there has been no discussions about there being one.
It doesn't take a lot of time to get a
contract done if you want to get it done in
the interest of time. But wouldn't you be concerned that
(25:45):
another team is going to swoop in and take them away?
I like that was my first thought, Like, if you
really wanted Aaron Rodgers to come back and play for
your team, I don't think that you not have conversations
with him and not have a contract like kind of
(26:06):
you know, looming that to me. I almost feel like
that triggers, like are you saying, Okay, we're going to
let him test the market. If nobody comes and takes them,
then we'll offer them what we're going to offer him,
And that's what it's going to be, with no leverage
other than to retire. I just I'm not sure how
(26:29):
to decipher and interpretate the idea, interpret the idea of
there not being a contract and no conversations going on
when you're seeing shaking and moving when when you want
somebody at this point, there's an aggressive move to try
to position yourself to get that person on your team,
(26:53):
and that doesn't sound like that's the case here. It
makes me wonder does Aaron Rodgers even want to return
the football And maybe that's the bigger question is maybe
they know how he feels about moving into the future,
and maybe that's why they're not in a hurry to
have that conversation with him. Do you think he knows
the answer one way or the other? I would And look,
(27:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
You guys have been through this, but I would think
that by now there's been enough time away from the
season that you're assessing, you know, what, body feels good?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Like if he was just shutting the door completely, I
feel like he would have already had the answer, Like
it would have already been I'm good here, I got
everything out of this career I could possibly want.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
I'm ready to move on.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I'm happily married, ready to move on live that second
part of my life.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
It didn't sound like he closed the door. It sounds
like he's still.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Interested in Yeah, that's why I think I think he's
gonna play. And I just I wonder, so what's the What.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Is almost like he's communicating to the Steelers, like, you know,
there's been no contract offered, there's been no discussions of it.
He didn't mention other teams. I think it was more
specific to Mike McCarthy and his time in Pittsburgh and
the GM. He mentioned those things. He didn't even bring
(28:11):
up other teams. So I'm just curious he is he
thinking or hoping to potentially return to the Steelers or
are they the only option or are they an option?
Are they not? Are they not an option?
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Brady made mention of, you know, the guys are waiting
to see what's going on in Minnesota kind of that's
the first shoot to drop, is what the Vikings plan are.
And I wonder if if the option was there and
the Vikings were like, hey man, you know we're interested.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
We kicked the tires on this last year. What do
you think.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
I wonder if the lore of Justin Jefferson, Kevin O'Connell
would be enough to pull him away from the experience
he had in Pittsburgh in a familiar name and a
familiar guy and Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I wonder.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I wonder how appealing and how attractive that opportunity would be.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I don't know is he concerned about Minnesota? Do all
being up there?
Speaker 6 (29:08):
We had that conversation earlier, so I.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Mean, in all seriousness, it's called in Minnesota. It's very
cool Americas.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Though, Do you think there's any.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Concern from Rogers two of going there simply because it
like it follows the Brett Farv path and he he
already had to kind of wear those shoes and then
those shoes kind of became his own during his time
in Green Bay. I mean, he's already done. And they
went to the New York Jets like he was like
all right, like we're we're following in the exact same
playbook that Brett Farv did. I wonder if there's some
(29:43):
hesitation with that for his legacy, because I think as
he's gotten older, he's thought a lot more about himself,
his legacy, what he's leaving behind to this game. And
I also think there's just a bigger question of and
he's the He's the type of person too that's reflective
where he'd ask himself like what am I chasing? And
(30:03):
am I chasing another Super Bowl? So I could be
one of those guys who has two am I chasing?
My love for the game at this point, you know, like,
like that's a legitimate question. Does he still love the game?
Does he still want to put his body through that?
I mean, he's played for a long time. There might
be parts of him that says, maybe I'm done, Maybe
I want to move on. Maybe I'm I'm I'm okay
(30:26):
with breaking up or divorcing what this marriage to football
that I've had and moving on with the next, you know,
step in my life. I just I wonder, you know,
because he's the type of guy that has a lot
of these probably internal thoughts. I wonder how all that
stuff's hitting him at this point, because I'm sure he's
thinking about the end, because he cares about how things
(30:50):
are going to end, and he maybe is okay with
how it ended last year in Pitzer. Maybe he wants
to go back running back for another opportunity, or maybe
he says to himself.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Like I'm good like I I you know, have my
memories with Mike.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
We won a Super Bowl in Green Bay like that
that was good enough for me, and I don't want
to risk going to a new place for another year
and starting over again like that in Minnesota, Or I
don't want to go back and taint my feelings towards
Mike McCarthy for whatever this is gonna be in round
two in Pittsburgh. You know, he's, like I said, he's
(31:25):
a deep, you know thinker like that. I think we've
all witnessed that from his interviews on the Pat mcavie show.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Uh, I'm curious as to what his retirement looks like
if this is If this is it and he's done,
does he just weed I'm not talking posts retirement, sorry
activities or during activity active activities. I'm saying, is he
(31:52):
gonna call for a or are they going to do a
press conference? Like how I just wonder how does he depart?
How does he depart?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Because Marshawn Lynch had the picture of the shoes on
the telephone wire, right, So what is Rogers?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Uh? What's his move? My guy from Kansas City the
d N His was pretty dope?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Who what is it?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
What's the defense? Defensive ends name? He rode off and
with his horse, Oh, Jared Allen, Jared Allen Jared as
pretty good. That was a good one. Like, I just
wonder what his you know, what his departure looks like.
Some guys just go and it's like they go, he
just walks into a hole. Like we have conversations about
Lebron James and him returning to Cleveland for the you know,
(32:38):
the retirement. Yeah, that's that's that's like we're talking about
him going on his farewell tour. What does that look
like for Aaron Rodgers because you would have to assume,
like there's going to be a presser. I mean, he's
one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. You assume
that there's going to be a celebration of him if
(32:59):
he decides he doesn't want to play anymore. I don't
think he goes press conference. I really don't. Does he
do it on Pat McAfee? Does he get the exclusive?
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
That's because I've thought about that, like how would he
walk away? Because he doesn't want anything to do with
the media. He said as much yesterday. I'm not doing
any media. I'm disappearing. I'm gone after my career is over.
You know, people are weird. They think, you know, his
his wife is fake and man, I generated.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
For him get off the grid. So yeah, I don't
know what you like. Y'all got a couple more years
with me and I'm up. Yeah, ain't never going here
from me, really ain't never gonnat up. I'm gonna be
out of here, off the grid, messed up man Providence,
the alleys, change your phone number and everything.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
I won't have one, no where to fifty gone. Well
know where to find you, like it never happened. Local
stre that will shoot up? Brady, Now shoot up a flair. Guy,

By the way, I saw that you weren't a big
fan of SGA's wardrobe choice post game for the.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Oaklahom, what the mad?
Speaker 7 (35:54):
I mean, it's just like I know this, like if
I was wearing that inside, I would be sweating my ass.
I would I would. I felt hot for him looking
at that, But uh, didn't it look It didn't look
like a badger was wrapped around his neck, wrapped around
his deck. And that didn't that? Am I wrong about that?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Fair? This fair comp that's a fair camp?
Speaker 7 (36:22):
Oh gosh, Brady, where is that jacket dear rotation?
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, I don't have anything like that.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
We were talking about that earlier, and we were actually
just curious, like how that thing gets made, and and
LeVar enlightened us that he had a white wolf jacket
like that.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I don't know that that's how everybody gets their their coats, though,
I mean I was.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
More, wait a minute, LaVar, LaVar was made of a
white wolf?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Yeah, exactly, that's white wolf.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Fascinating right, Like I was like, how does this happen?
How do you find a white wolf?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
To kill it?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
It was wolf?
Speaker 7 (36:58):
I mean I always think like a wolf would be
relatively rare, right, I think I.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Don't know how rare they are that I just wanted
to I wanted a wolf fur coat, That's what I wanted.
But I did my homework, and again, it was a rescue.
It was not I got it from. I got it
from a place where they rescue.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
It was a rescue.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
The killed it.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
They did not kill the wolf. The wolf was not
killed for it's it's uh for its fur, that's correct.
It passed away in captivity and then it was used
to warm me. That might be a horrible for it,
but that's what happened. I mean, that's the way to
(37:46):
go out anyway. I mean, you know, pack is a pack.
Can I assure you? Well, I don't know what the
wolf's afterlife was, but it's fur was was in my closet.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
That wolf lived a three time pro bowler afterlife, you know,
that's what I never.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Wore it in Hawaii. Uh, Miles Garrett got a speeding ticket?
Is that is that big news? When you're it seems
like didn't Shador get a speed ticket?
Speaker 7 (38:18):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
I mean, are they just not relaxed on guys driving fast?
And was he in Cleveland when this happened?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Is Cleveland the professional version of Georgia? Is that what
this is?
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Because oh wow, yeah, I mean I like, like, I
like I think he just character kurry smash recruiting board there, right, I.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Mean, you know it's it's fair.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
What's you got like nine now, like seven or eight
or nine speeding tickets something like that for Miles Garrett
at this point.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
I honestly like so as someone who had a lot
of speeding tickets when he was a teenager, I did.
I can remember, I like, better chill out for a
little while at least, because you know, it's easy to
it's pretty it's relatively easy to to to go a
little faster than you intend to on the highway and
(39:10):
everything else. But I do remember getting a few speedy
tickets and you know, my radar going up, like maybe
I should maybe I should be a little more careful
about this, uh, you know, and as a teenager, that
was like a lot of money that that that was
going out the doors. So you know, I I don't know,
like a lot of these guys obviously have really nice
(39:30):
cars that can go really fast without much effort, and
you know, like gotta be a little more careful than that,
Gotta be a little more careful of that.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I wonder what the vehicle was because you can go
fast and not know you're going fast. I mean, I
sound crazy, but you can go past the space.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
You can It's true. I mean, like if you're on
like a if you're on like a long road trip,
like I found myself on long road trips and like,
holy crap, I'm going I'm like going ninety you know
what I mean? Like that does happen. And I think
with the cars that you might have, it might be
easier to get there than even in a situation like that.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
And I can envision that scenario for you, Albert. You know,
you're going to a hockey tournament. You know, maybe there's
some unruliness in the back seat and your better half
is just laying down the law, which I think we've
we've heard on the show once once you're once before,
so uh.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I can see that scenario where you're like pedal to
the metal. I need to get the hell out of
this vehicle.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
We've all been as as as husbands and dads, we've been, we've.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Been a we've been a captivity for two whiles.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I want to ask you about any update with Max
Crosby and a trade ensuing obviously as the beginning of
the new league year UH approaches. Who's the best suitor,
who's going to make a play for him?
Speaker 7 (40:52):
Yeah, you know, I think at this point, really what
what what you're looking at is the Raiders sitting back
and letting and Mark you come to them, and you
know they're asking right to tie, which should be he's
a great player, And you know, I think for everyone involved,
the best scenario, best case scenario is that something is
(41:13):
agreed to by early next week, because you know, for
these other teams, you know, if you need net rusher,
you got to make a decision on whether or not
you're going to pursue Trey Hendrickson or adopt Aoa or
jail and phill up. So one of the guys will
be out there next week, you know, And and then
you know, as far as the Raiders are concerned, this
(41:34):
is probably the biggest full of candidates that you're going
to have because once we get passed next week, they're
talking about cash budgets, cast budgets being spent, they're talking
about rosters being filled and hole being plugged, and so
like you get to that, you got to you have
passed next week and now all of a sudden, like
everything sort of shifts and change, you know, And so
(41:57):
you know, I do think over the next few days
this is this is at least gonna take shape for
the Raiders, and they're gonna have to make some decisions
on whether or not the value in fart of them
is worth. Uh, it's worth moving on from that. And
you know, we've been through all the history with the
knee injury and everything that happened with you know, Brady
Guerrero and and all that, like from December. So you know,
(42:22):
like as far as the teams that will be involved,
like Chicago, Tampa, New England. Uh, you know, I thought
Seattle for a while. I'm not sure they're gonna be
willing to meet the vice to get there, but they
were one that at least initially showed some interest. Uh
you know, Philadelphia I think as an interest. So you know,
(42:44):
you've got I think a healthy number of teams I think,
you know, around the border of the league is gonna
be in this. It has been in this, and you know,
I think over the next few days he sort of
hit one of those checkpoints where a deal can be
done doesn't mean it's going to be done. Uh, you know,
that might Parson Kydasky, But I've been at the Little
Ridge for the blood of most teams just because you know,
(43:05):
like some of these deals, but deal with Michael has done.
Michael at twenty four years old. Max is gonna be
twenty nine when the twenty twenty six years starts, So
it's it's not the same thing, you know, But certainly
I think they're gonna be some good offers in front
of the Raiders over the course of the next couple
of days, and then they'll just have to make a
call on whether it's the time to do it or not.
Speaker 5 (43:26):
Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. I
just wanted to follow up on something because there was
the report out from Mike Silver of The Athletic that described,
you know, Raiders players, people within the building not happy
about Alex Guerrero's presence. And I know, obviously you being
close to New England and working and covering that franchise
(43:47):
as well too and talking to people, how real of
an issue is that Alex Guerrero now having some influence
in Las Vegas with the Raiders.
Speaker 7 (43:59):
I think it's something that I've gotten an allowles over
the years. I think he's a he's a really good guy,
you know. I think like it the thing that was
maybe jarring to the people there is the number of
people that report to him, the way that's structured, you know,
and that like he is in a in a real
(44:19):
position of power there now, you know. And so he
went from kind of being like the body coach for
for players, you know, going back a couple of years
when uh, you know, when Brady first bought into the
team to now like having having a real role, you know,
and and having real power, and so you know, you
have that and then you attach to that his you know,
(44:42):
obvious relationship with Brady and the fact that Brady is
not there every day, but there's a perception that everybody
there sort of answers to Brady, and like I mean
just just a vision like it being your workplace, right
and you know that there's somebody has somebody answers to,
but he's not there every day. And then there's this
(45:04):
guy in the building that is sort of seen as
I don't know, like his eyes in the ears there.
You know, that would be a little weird, right, Like
that would kind of like be a little funky. And
I think that that's sort of the way that this
is set up, and is do the do the Raiders
need to clean that up a little bit? I think
(45:24):
they probably do, you know, you know, because Guerrera does
have a hands on roll with the players too, you know,
so it's a different setup. I like, I mold, this
looks like a year from that, two years from now,
we'll see. Uh, We've seen these sorts of things in
the past. This sounds like a little unique. And that
(45:45):
Brady's a limited partner. He's not the he's a controlling owner,
but obviously he he carries he carries a big stick
amount of organization and uh, you know, I think most
of the decision make in there at least runs through him.
And so you're having somebody like Guerrero on hand has
(46:06):
complicated that a little bit and looked like I think
that's I mentioned his name beat guys a bunch over
the last couple of months. That communication issue that was
there with Max, like that was the part of all
of it, you know, and Max is feeling that when
they shut him down with two games left, it was
in an effort to get the number one overall pick,
but Allax is involved in that too, and that's where
I think some of this this blew up with Max
(46:28):
and it's it's something that I think, does you know,
need to be addressed and maybe streamlined a little bit.
Speaker 4 (46:36):
Ab the Chiefs, they just had a major trade take place.
They obviously sent Trent McDuffie to the rams and got
compensation for that. I mean, I've made it a point
to say there's the possibility that the window is closing
(46:57):
on on the Kansas City chief But that's just one
person's opinion. What what do we take away from this
trade from an industry perspective.
Speaker 7 (47:07):
Yeah, I would say like this is sort of, you know,
part of the reality of having a loss and a
little stopping heavy over the years, right and trying to
manage all of that, and so you know where they
are going forward now. I would say this kind of
goes back a year where they had drafted really well
(47:30):
and this is sort of the result of the tyreektail
trade where they had a ton of picks and they
hit on a bunch of guys. And so when you
hit a bunch of a bunch of guys at once
the way that they did, you have, you know, some
moving parts and tough decisions take. So last year they
started the process of resigning some of those guys. So
they resigned Nick Bolton, they re signed George carl Offtis,
(47:53):
they re signed Trad Smith, they resigned Creed Humphrey. And
so you've got all of these guys that have become
in or go for that, and you're resigning all of
those guys. So as part of that, they made an
effort to try to resign Trent mcdufty, and I think
last year they were pretty far apart, and the Stingley
deal and the Sauce Gardner deal affected all of that.
(48:15):
And so now they come into this offseason and the
price has only gone up, and I think there was
like a recognition like this is going to be really
challenging to.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
Do a deal.
Speaker 7 (48:27):
And so the same way that the DeVante Adams trade
and contract in twenty twenty two affected things with Tyreek,
those other negotiations affected things here with Trent mcdufty and
opened the door for that discussion, Okay, are we better
off doing the same thing with Trent that we did
with Tyreek four years ago? And I think the answer
(48:50):
was yes. You know, the answer was like, let's restock.
We'll have a ton of draft picks this year. We
got an extra pick next year, and we'll have a
chance to do what we did a few years ago,
which was which is make the roster a lot younger
and add more players on rookie contracts. So like, that's
(49:10):
sort of the nuts and bolts of it and the
economics of it. Will it work? I mean that all
the times I'm getting the draft picks right, you know.
But I do think that there was a feeling that
they were they were going to need to restock the
core and get younger core players on the ross. So
particularly with the fact that Travis Kelsey and Chris Chell,
(49:31):
who been such a sellers, aren't going to be around
for very much longer.
Speaker 6 (49:35):
Hey, al, we talked about Aaron Rodgers earlier and Pittsburgh
and just the decision that is on the horizon for
both sides of that. But how foresee this working out?
Do you feel like Rogers is potentially done if he
comes back?
Speaker 2 (49:47):
Is only Pittsburgh? Is there other teams or another team
in the mix in your mind?
Speaker 7 (49:56):
Yeah, I tend the biggest probably Pittsburgh or or US. Now,
like I guess you could rule up the Minnesota thing
and like, you know, he wanted to play there last year.
And if Kevin o'donald picked up the phone, you know,
and and said like, I'd love for you to be
at quarterback for a year, like because that's so a
(50:16):
monkey wrench is the whole thing that's possible. I would
say this for Aeron I have no idea what he's
going to do, right, like I think going he knows.
But what I can say is like my experience with
him and talking to him when I have over the
last few years, is I do think that like the
(50:38):
experience of Pittsburgh last year rekindled his love of football,
and that's really what he's been looking for the last
few years. It's like I want to get back to
enjoying the sport and I want to enjoy what I
have left as far as my ability to play the
sport at the highest level. And even the last year
and the way that he had hoped there was that
(50:59):
like all right, like this was great, you know, and
I love playing football again. I love being around my teammates.
And he had a great experience playing for Mike Tomlin.
And now it comes like McCarthy back into the conversation
and like a lot of guys on staff who Wearing
has relationships with, and so it just sets up in
a way where if he does want to play football again,
(51:22):
there's a very nice comfortable landing spot there right where
he was last year. Again. Did he do it? I
don't know, but I would say things line up where,
you know, if he does want to play another year,
it's I think it'd be really comfortable for him to
do it. This.

His fur coat that I think it was a coat,
like one of them scarfs. He looks so warm. It

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Am I it looks like a chitten chilla?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Is he in the Arctic? Were they playing in like
a cold place? I don't I don't get the fur
coat thing.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I was always like hot as hell after showering off
and like changing then you had to go like talk
to the media. I was always sweating, you know, like
you're always I don't know, I'd be sweating my ass
off in that thing.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I don't know, man, I did have a white wolf
fur coat before he was he was wait what he
was rescued, he was arrest He.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Killed a white wolf and made a coat out of it.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It was a rescue. It was a rescue. I have
a taxi. I have a taxidermy lion.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So they rescued white wolf but then killed it and
skinned it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Well, they didn't kill it. They was rescued, he was
he passed away.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Oh and so instead of like I don't any ham
or bearing.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, I don't. Just I wouldn't do animal cruelty, Like
I wouldn't be like, oh, yeah, go kill a wolf
so I can have a fur coat.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
It's getting called out. Put them in the driveway, step
on the gas.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
I don't know, but like, hold on, this actually goes
to a different path. I mean, boss hog. It's not
like Jonas like made a jacket out of his or
a blanket or whatever the hell you wan.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
He was a master. If you keep it high and
tight with mastives, you know, you could attack the derm
eat them.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, you could have created a rug out of it. Yeah,
that wouldn't create You don't want to walk on them.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Having mounted like you know, that would that wouldn't create
any issues.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Uh, you know, so it was your dog and that
when it died you had him turn it into a jacket.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
No, it was a wolf.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It was a rescue.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Though it was a rescue, the story of it was.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It was a seed rescued, by the way.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yes, there's plenty of rescue wolves.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
You feel like they're pretty bad ass, Like I feel
like they're they're good and they get.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Shot up bad ass too. You know, they come on
with somebody you ain't. Never watch Yellowstone. They'll get you now.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, I have what I'm saying. They'll pop you.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know, them them farmers, they'll pop you if they
see if they see him come up on there. You know,
these white wolf coats are pricey.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Let me see, I mean, let me see so many.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Years, six hundred and ninety bucks. That guy just like
a douche. But I was a douche when I wore it.
You know, I didn't wear very often though.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
I just I think I might have worn it to
like maybe two games. Coincidentally, ironically enough, it was probably
in a place like Kansas City when it was cold.
You know, why wouldn't I was cold.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
I'm just selling got it because I was cold.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
You know, it was with like wolves on them. I'm
not seeing an actual like wolf fur coat. It was
a white wolf to I see the one is on
the wall on Postmark Jonas.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, it was like the wolf head as part of it.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Uh yeah, I saw that one. Yeah, No, I didn't.
It didn't have a wolf head on it. There's another guy,
guy who's wearing leather pants.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
First I might have had leather pants on.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
No shirt.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
What a necklace?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That sounds like some prince type stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I'm telling you, I was weird. It's like I'm looking
at wolfstuff dot com.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I had no idea that this was also.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You don't know who owns that.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You don't know the guy who was like, you know what,
I'm gonna start a website wolfstuff dot com.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, I got I got it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That guy trigga his morning coffee right now. It's like genius.
No one thought of this. I'm going to corner the
wolf market.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I wanted a fur coat, but I didn't want to
perpetuate anything, any creation being hurt for me to have
a so I didn't research. The tax found me. I
wanted old wolf coat.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
The taxi durmything weird.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Someone else shot the wolf to then make them take
it into skin.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
It No that they didn't shoot it. There was no
shooting involved. It was a rescue.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Don't get that.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Rescue And then it has like a card like it
had like a card in this or something the history,
like a sanctuary.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Like you said, things create, so we need to bring
it in and put it behind high fences because it
can't help itself or can't protect itself in the wild.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Yeah, something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Isn't that how nature works?
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Like if you're not with the pac man, like you're
subject to whatever happens.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I mean, have you ever seen tiger king, you know?
Or tiger what what was it called?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Is that what it was called with the crazy people?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
But the same thing, like there are there are sanctuaries
that exist around you know, the country, in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
If they're protecting them from people. I get it. But
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Even a lion like the line that I named Mondevu,
like after your nephew, he was he was a rescue.
He was a rescue and they had like it like
the the story. It had his whole story, his whole story,
like they sent the Story of the Iron and like
how he was?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You know? That was allot Maybe it was.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Just it was a it was a Christmas gift and
give us a lion as a Christmas I always wanted
a lion, but who.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Gave it to you?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
My wife?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So Trish found a lion. It was like, yep, he was.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
It was a whole process.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Also, it's like one of those like adopt a kid
who's got bugs on his.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Eyelids, correct commercial ye correct.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Oh, and that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
And then the kid, you know, goes to the other side,
the great beyond. Yeah, and just for ten cents a
day you can feed.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
And then is like, hey, I'll pay a lot more
ten cents a date for that et phone.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
They pan over and this this uh, this thing's lick
at his balls and they're trying to sell it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
There you go for a second out.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
How you gonna pay for this?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know how much it costs, but it is
a bad ass line.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
For a penny a day, this lion can lick his
balls in your driveway too.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
He was not a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
He was stuffed. He's stuffed.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Oh, he was taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's what I understand. The process. So I don't know,
you're telling me.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
They rescue this thing, they put it in a sanctuary,
you know, high fenced in park, which is not its
natural habitat. It dies, then they skin it afterwards.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Apparently where I got my lion from it was in
Africa and the taxidermists. The taxidermist is could you imagine?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Could you imagine if they're like, no, actually, it was
just how you're hanging out in Texas. But that's fine too.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, we met, we met Africa, Oklahoma. Hey, man, giving
I'm just giving y'all the story. Many Apparently he was
a famed taxidermist. He was retiring, he was getting up
there in age.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
How do you get famous for being a taxidermist. It's
a weird. A lot of different things. Is that it?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I don't know, man, It's just how it was given
to me.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Like, well, I stuffed an elephant, you know, I make
sure to.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
That stuff is is like a really quality taxidermist is
a very very well sought after I'm used a taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I'm not trying to make it seem either like that
I'm discounting the profession.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I'm just saying, like I'd love to know, like the
qualifications of like who's the best? Like how do you know?
Like what are you looking for in that guy?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I mean she found him whoever he was, he's gonna
he's got to switch where it'll wink at you from
time to time.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Pretty sweet. He looked like he'd come to life.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
They needed to make it where like when you walk
in the room, the thing looks so damn really you're like, oh.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
God, it's censored. His eyes and his paw is up
like that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You're still he's like up and his all is up.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
So you So you guys have gotten a pet tax
dermied like one now pass.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
In the pet taxi. I get them cream.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
We've had yeah, we've had our cremated and.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
He's in like they're in irons, like there remains. I
still have the irons burns, irons, irons urns.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That's the insert in you. Huh.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
I guess I couldn't do a taxidermy. I can't.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't that.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
The whole thing creeps me out, Like you walk into
a house and it's basically your dog, but they don't
do it.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Did you bury your dog? Is that how you bet
bury him?
Speaker 5 (10:29):
But please, I feel a level.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I feel a level street comfort. No trash picks up.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Trash pickup is every Tuesday over the street. It was
a Monday, it's twenty four hours later.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, that's not funny.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Put them put him in a glad bag in the street,
two black guys, because he was four fifteen.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
At the time. Bags and uh. And they came by,
you crowd, and.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
You still think this is funny.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
You visit him, well, what is the problem, right next
to the recycling can, right next to the yard waste
and recite.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Your dog. And then that's how you dispose of his body.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Hey, we pay for that trash. Do your job. I
had a dull corner, come get dresser. We put him
on the gurney, covered him up, wield him out. Why
are you smiling up?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Just what is wrong with you?
Speaker 6 (11:19):
By the way, the last when we had to put
down our boxer and it was terrible, right on Lisha's birthday,
we had done like a staycation thing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Came home and it was just like we knew it
was time.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Like she she was battling cancer at that point and
she had ripped open from a prior surgery. We had
to try to remove something to help, you know, help
her feel better prolonged life.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And it was just it was a bloodbath. I mean
it was it was nasty what she was because she
was so uncomfortable.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
So yes, she scratched it open, like the whole and
so it was like blood, you know, plus all this stuff.
So we have this veterinarian come over and you know, dude,
I'm gonna I'm getting emotional, and I just looked at
the girl. At one point I was like, so you
just you go around all these different families every day,
like you're just putting down dogs every day.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I'm like, what kind of life is that.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
I'm like questioning this young woman who's like nice enough
to come down and euthanize our dog.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And probably one of the.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Funnier moments was my mom walks in and she's like, oh,
I heard, I wanted to say goodbye whatever, and and
then the vet starts feeding the dog chocolate and she goes, oh, honey.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You should do that kind of look. The vet looked
at my mom like, let the dog enjoy chocolate.
Speaker 8 (12:38):
If we're putting it, we're putting it down in twenty seconds, like,
let the dog enjoy it. But she's trying to like
reprimand this vet there and you're supposed to feed dog's chocolate.
She like didn't really understand the process of what was happening.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Oh man, that's this is a morbid. Uh that's all right, man,
you know, the nerve of you to stimulate this conversation,
I like, listen, this is you know, all just because
that man wanted to be warm and one of these
these cold market you know, places to play.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Where the hell was he at? By the way, probably
an okay.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Z Yeah, I'd assume that was a home home game.
I can't imagine he traveled with that.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, and you did ask Lorraina did ask earlier.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
By the way, I've always wondered this.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Back when you guys were playing, was there a strict
code about what you had to wear to a game?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
To and from a game depended on the coach?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, coach would make that.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Like but yeah, you had to wear a suit and
tie more often than not. Some of them you could
wear sweats, walking suit walking suits.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, that's big. That was a big thingking the walking suit.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
Yeah, It's like it was like the biggest I mean,
there's so many things about the water do you have
a walking suit?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Is Jonas?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
No, it's it doesn't someone have a It's not a coat.
It's like it's almost like a shirt. It's like a
button down.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Long shirt that you wear out.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
You don't see it looks like a suit coat, but
it's not.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Yeah, yeah, it's like a shirt. It's more comfortable. And
then the pants the exact.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
What they're called walkers and the walking.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Suit and then and and the pants are the exact
same like fabin.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Material, it's the same thing.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
It's like it's like one big piece of whatever material
it is is what these dudes will wear.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And the funny thing is they they cloth their guys
be charged them like the exact same amount. Is basically
like what a suit is. He's like, now you're gonna
walk it suit, it's about the same price.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, they got short sleeves, they got long sleeves. We
could turn it into short a short set.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Like all right, I gotta ask the questions, is this
a black thing or a white thing? I never saw many
white guys were walking suits.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I was about to say it was a very stereotypical
outfit for for pro pro athletes.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, my rookie year, I was like, what is that?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
But there was some cats that would tuck them in,
They would tuck the shirt in.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I never saw anyone.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
They have them all with some gators, and I was like, hell, yeah,
that's a look, it's.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
A bit just so we're helling. I'm telling the truth here.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I googled walking suits for men and I went to
images and it's literally.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
All black guys at entire page of black guys.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
That guy might be Puerto Rican, but I mean, you
know we're splitting hairs here.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I think it may have been one lineman that I
know that had one, maybe two, but it.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Was it was on our side. We claimed him. Yeah, probably.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
But here's the thing is, for anyone who saw like
Orris worn a walking suit, you know, it is a
thousand times more comfortable than actually wearing a suit or
actually wearing like dressed pants and a jack and a
button up and a belt and all that.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
And that was like the gid.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
I was like, damn, this shouldn't even that shouldn't even count,
Like these duds are getting away with the dress code
just because they're wearing walking suits.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
But it was a thing, man, it still is.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
They look comfortable. I don't know that it's still a thing.
Like long suits. Long suits were in when I was
in the league, and I know that's not in anymore.
Like I'm talking like down mid thigh.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Didn't they do it for the draft? Kind of making
fun of it the other year?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yeah, it was like Lebron and Carmelo and all those guys.
Dwyane Wade, I believe.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I thought. I thought a recent class just did that
and they were making fun of that.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
I don't know, I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I look this up. I feel like I saw pictures
of like them.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Suits is a trip though. Old school suits are a
trip man compared to nowadays. I remember Chris Webber had one.
I believe long suit like juke suits. Yeah, you know,
like like cab callaways.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
But you know what, that's the way fashion works. It's
going to come back into style. Baggy, baggy baggs.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Are coming back. I don't like it. I don't like.
I don't like the trending away from the tight super tight.
I don't like.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
I don't care what dudes wear.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But yeah, I'm with you on that, Like you go
from yoga pants to baggy jeans.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm not with the ladies. You're working in the wrong direction.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
It's the wrong direction. It's weird.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
What's on stuff? Like that's your Nope.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
You hear that, Lorena, Yes, I heard, And actually I
have mixed feelings on it.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Why I get the comfort aspect of it, But like,
are yoga pants not comfortable?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
No? I love yoga pants. I wear my workout pants
all the time. That should be every day.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
But sometimes I see ladies who are wearing yoga pants
and I'm like, you don't even do yoga, And I can.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Tell oh damn, So you know, are good for people?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Lora a Smith yoga pants shaming people?
Speaker 4 (17:50):
That's crazy because she's skinny. That's wild. I can't stand
when skinny people, naturally skinny people make fun of us.
It is skinny fat. It is the wildest thing ever us,
the wildest thing ever. Man. It's a real struggle, man,
all right, it's a real struggle.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
All right.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Okay, have you ever tried to gain weight and not
been able to gain weight? It's not it's not a
problem I deal with.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Man.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Man is fighting. My son is fighting to get three
more pounds on and keep the pounds on. Right now,
I said, son, there will come a time where the
Arrington Jean kicks in. Do not fight to try to
gain weight. Just eat the way you're supposed to eat,
(18:46):
take your protein, do your workouts. That gene will kick in.
You'll be all right. I fight it every day. Now.
Everybody out there listening, y'all think I'm doing a bit
right now, I'm not. I fight wait every day. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We love it, man, but you are not obese. You
need to stop this.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
You got a puzzling why that's the approach you take
with self value it.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I just don't understand why you guys like I get it.
I've I've learned to accept it. I fight. I fight
it and and one day, maybe potentially I'll win. You know,
I'll win against weight. You look great.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I know.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
No, you're lying. No, it's not true. I taxidermy you.
Thank you. Yeah, tell Trisha that I'll put a bit
in for that. That would be interesting, like like the
Elephant Man Bones for real. Two bros.

Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up a little over fifteen minutes from now, we are
going to hand out an award on this show. That'll
be yours right here on FSR. But we did get
a little bit of an update, kind of uh oh
from Aaron Rodgers and the situation involving him the Steelers
(21:12):
and what his plans are for the future. He was
on the Pat McAfee show starring AJ Hawk yesterday. He
discussed and had some kind words for his former coach
now current coach of the Steelers, Mike McCarthy, and also
where things are at from a contract standpoint with the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Mike's one of the great guys in the league. Just
an absolutely exceptional human being with a huge heart. We
had a lot of great years together, a lot of
a lot of fun. I loved my time with Mike
over the years. Obviously there were some some times it's
like a you know, it's like a like a big
brother where you sometimes you love him, sometimes you pissed
at him. But deep down there's so much love for
for Mike and appreciation for the time we spent together.
(21:51):
I've talked to Mike, I've talked to Omar. There's been
no deadline that's been you know, that's been put in
front of me. There's no contract, you know, off of
or anything. So there's nothing that I'm you know, having
to debate between I'm you know, free agent and you
know again I'm I'm enjoying my time with my wife
(22:11):
and enjoying this part of the off season, and and
you know, I think there's conversations to be add down
the line, but right now I'm not not There hasn't
been any progressive conversations.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
I don't want to sound the alarm because I know
that there's still time. But if you're the Steelers with
the new league year starting next week, wouldn't you want
an answer at some point or have some sort of
clarity pretty quickly here on who's going to be your
quarterback next year? Like it feels like there's going to
be some options, and I would assume you'd want to
(22:49):
get that handled and get that straightened out so you
can kind of move forward with the off season plans
you'll like you.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
My thoughts are, yeah, you want some clarity, but I
think more that clearly is gonna come at the draft.
So you know, either you make a move, they try
to take a guy like Ty Simpson, or you could
say you're going to bring in another free agent or
trade for a guy. But the reality is, if Rogers
(23:19):
decides to come back, he's the guy probably even regardless
of who you draft.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
I mean, I think that's the hard part about all
this is you're kind of hanging in limbo if you're Pittsburgh,
and there's elements of that that played out last year.
I think the only difference is now, you know, you've
got the same guy who knows the city, knows the organization,
he knows the personnel, he knows the offense, even though
it's new to everyone else, not new to him. So
there's all those elements that would make it easier depending
(23:49):
on how long it takes him to make a decision.
But I think it's hard.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Man.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
It's hard to want to say, hey, we have to
close that door, but at the same time try moving
on to you know, you've got to be able to
find a way of threatening the needle where if you
can get him back, you get him back, but you.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Also have the plan of the future.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
And I think that might be one of the harder
conversations too, to have, is if you bring in Rodgers
and you still spend a first round draft pick on
the guy who's going to replace him after this year.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Does he want that? Does he want to go to
a situation where it's like that.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
You know, if you're Minnesota and you're selling him, if
you're Kevin O'Connell on you come in here for a year,
let JJ McCarthy sit and watch.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Develop, you know, learn from you.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Then we feel like there's a better chance for him
being able to be the quarterback we hope he can be.
You know, that might be their game plan. Maybe that's
more attractive to Aaron Rodgers because he knows what he's
dealing with, Like he knows he's the guy for the year,
he knows what they're looking for out of the guy
behind him, and you're just trying to win as many
games as possible to get to a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
So every situation is different.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
I don't know that you know, Pittsburgh has that guy
behind him, and they took Will Howard last year in
the sixth round. I'm not sure they feel like he's,
you know, the air apparent of the future. So, uh,
it's it's just a more gray situation I think for
for what the plan would be in Pittsburgh all around
(25:12):
you know that team they just released John new Smith,
you know, so so what does this like roster really
look like even if Rogers comes back, Like, are you
just kind of running it back with the same group
you had last year for the most part.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Uh, my first my first take on it was the
fact that Aaron Rodgers is saying there is no contract
and there has been no discussions about there being one.
It doesn't take a lot of time to get a
contract done if you want to get it done in
the interest of time. But wouldn't you be concerned that
(25:45):
another team is going to swoop in and take them away?
I like that was my first thought, Like, if you
really wanted Aaron Rodgers to come back and play for
your team, I don't think that you not have conversations
with him and not have a contract like kind of
(26:06):
you know, looming that to me. I almost feel like
that triggers, like are you saying, Okay, we're going to
let him test the market. If nobody comes and takes them,
then we'll offer them what we're going to offer him,
And that's what it's going to be, with no leverage
other than to retire. I just I'm not sure how
(26:29):
to decipher and interpretate the idea, interpret the idea of
there not being a contract and no conversations going on
when you're seeing shaking and moving when when you want
somebody at this point, there's an aggressive move to try
to position yourself to get that person on your team,
(26:53):
and that doesn't sound like that's the case here. It
makes me wonder does Aaron Rodgers even want to return
the football And maybe that's the bigger question is maybe
they know how he feels about moving into the future,
and maybe that's why they're not in a hurry to
have that conversation with him. Do you think he knows
the answer one way or the other? I would And look,
(27:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
You guys have been through this, but I would think
that by now there's been enough time away from the
season that you're assessing, you know, what, body feels good?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Like if he was just shutting the door completely, I
feel like he would have already had the answer, Like
it would have already been I'm good here, I got
everything out of this career I could possibly want.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
I'm ready to move on.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I'm happily married, ready to move on live that second
part of my life.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
It didn't sound like he closed the door. It sounds
like he's still.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Interested in Yeah, that's why I think I think he's
gonna play. And I just I wonder, so what's the What.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Is almost like he's communicating to the Steelers, like, you know,
there's been no contract offered, there's been no discussions of it.
He didn't mention other teams. I think it was more
specific to Mike McCarthy and his time in Pittsburgh and
the GM. He mentioned those things. He didn't even bring
(28:11):
up other teams. So I'm just curious he is he
thinking or hoping to potentially return to the Steelers or
are they the only option or are they an option?
Are they not? Are they not an option?
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Brady made mention of, you know, the guys are waiting
to see what's going on in Minnesota kind of that's
the first shoot to drop, is what the Vikings plan are.
And I wonder if if the option was there and
the Vikings were like, hey man, you know we're interested.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
We kicked the tires on this last year. What do
you think.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
I wonder if the lore of Justin Jefferson, Kevin O'Connell
would be enough to pull him away from the experience
he had in Pittsburgh in a familiar name and a
familiar guy and Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I wonder.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I wonder how appealing and how attractive that opportunity would be.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I don't know is he concerned about Minnesota? Do all
being up there?
Speaker 6 (29:08):
We had that conversation earlier, so I.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Mean, in all seriousness, it's called in Minnesota. It's very
cool Americas.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Though, Do you think there's any.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Concern from Rogers two of going there simply because it
like it follows the Brett Farv path and he he
already had to kind of wear those shoes and then
those shoes kind of became his own during his time
in Green Bay. I mean, he's already done. And they
went to the New York Jets like he was like
all right, like we're we're following in the exact same
playbook that Brett Farv did. I wonder if there's some
(29:43):
hesitation with that for his legacy, because I think as
he's gotten older, he's thought a lot more about himself,
his legacy, what he's leaving behind to this game. And
I also think there's just a bigger question of and
he's the He's the type of person too that's reflective
where he'd ask himself like what am I chasing? And
(30:03):
am I chasing another Super Bowl? So I could be
one of those guys who has two am I chasing?
My love for the game at this point, you know, like,
like that's a legitimate question. Does he still love the game?
Does he still want to put his body through that?
I mean, he's played for a long time. There might
be parts of him that says, maybe I'm done, Maybe
I want to move on. Maybe I'm I'm I'm okay
(30:26):
with breaking up or divorcing what this marriage to football
that I've had and moving on with the next, you know,
step in my life. I just I wonder, you know,
because he's the type of guy that has a lot
of these probably internal thoughts. I wonder how all that
stuff's hitting him at this point, because I'm sure he's
thinking about the end, because he cares about how things
(30:50):
are going to end, and he maybe is okay with
how it ended last year in Pitzer. Maybe he wants
to go back running back for another opportunity, or maybe
he says to himself.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Like I'm good like I I you know, have my
memories with Mike.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
We won a Super Bowl in Green Bay like that
that was good enough for me, and I don't want
to risk going to a new place for another year
and starting over again like that in Minnesota, Or I
don't want to go back and taint my feelings towards
Mike McCarthy for whatever this is gonna be in round
two in Pittsburgh. You know, he's, like I said, he's
(31:25):
a deep, you know thinker like that. I think we've
all witnessed that from his interviews on the Pat mcavie show.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Uh, I'm curious as to what his retirement looks like
if this is If this is it and he's done,
does he just weed I'm not talking posts retirement, sorry
activities or during activity active activities. I'm saying, is he
(31:52):
gonna call for a or are they going to do a
press conference? Like how I just wonder how does he depart?
How does he depart?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Because Marshawn Lynch had the picture of the shoes on
the telephone wire, right, So what is Rogers?
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Uh? What's his move? My guy from Kansas City the
d N His was pretty dope?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Who what is it?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
What's the defense? Defensive ends name? He rode off and
with his horse, Oh, Jared Allen, Jared Allen Jared as
pretty good. That was a good one. Like, I just
wonder what his you know, what his departure looks like.
Some guys just go and it's like they go, he
just walks into a hole. Like we have conversations about
Lebron James and him returning to Cleveland for the you know,
(32:38):
the retirement. Yeah, that's that's that's like we're talking about
him going on his farewell tour. What does that look
like for Aaron Rodgers because you would have to assume,
like there's going to be a presser. I mean, he's
one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. You assume
that there's going to be a celebration of him if
(32:59):
he decides he doesn't want to play anymore. I don't
think he goes press conference. I really don't. Does he
do it on Pat McAfee? Does he get the exclusive?
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
That's because I've thought about that, like how would he
walk away? Because he doesn't want anything to do with
the media. He said as much yesterday. I'm not doing
any media. I'm disappearing. I'm gone after my career is over.
You know, people are weird. They think, you know, his
his wife is fake and man, I generated.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
For him get off the grid. So yeah, I don't
know what you like. Y'all got a couple more years
with me and I'm up. Yeah, ain't never going here
from me, really ain't never gonnat up. I'm gonna be
out of here, off the grid, messed up man Providence,
the alleys, change your phone number and everything.

LeVar enlightened us that he had a white wolf jacket
like that.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I don't know that that's how everybody gets their their coats, though,
I mean I was.
Speaker 7 (36:45):
More, wait a minute, LaVar, LaVar was made of a
white wolf?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Yeah, exactly, that's white wolf.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Fascinating right, Like I was like, how does this happen?
How do you find a white wolf?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
To kill it?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
It was wolf?
Speaker 7 (36:58):
I mean I always think like a wolf would be
relatively rare, right, I think I.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Don't know how rare they are that I just wanted
to I wanted a wolf fur coat, That's what I wanted.
But I did my homework, and again, it was a rescue.
It was not I got it from. I got it
from a place where they rescue.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
It was a rescue.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
The killed it.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
They did not kill the wolf. The wolf was not
killed for it's it's uh for its fur, that's correct.
It passed away in captivity and then it was used
to warm me. That might be a horrible for it,
but that's what happened. I mean, that's the way to
(37:46):
go out anyway. I mean, you know, pack is a pack.
Can I assure you? Well, I don't know what the
wolf's afterlife was, but it's fur was was in my closet.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
That wolf lived a three time pro bowler afterlife, you know,
that's what I never.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Wore it in Hawaii. Uh, Miles Garrett got a speeding ticket?
Is that is that big news? When you're it seems
like didn't Shador get a speed ticket?
Speaker 7 (38:18):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
I mean, are they just not relaxed on guys driving fast?
And was he in Cleveland when this happened?
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Is Cleveland the professional version of Georgia? Is that what
this is?
Speaker 7 (38:29):
Because oh wow, yeah, I mean I like, like, I
like I think he just character kurry smash recruiting board there, right, I.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Mean, you know it's it's fair.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
What's you got like nine now, like seven or eight
or nine speeding tickets something like that for Miles Garrett
at this point.
Speaker 7 (38:49):
I honestly like so as someone who had a lot
of speeding tickets when he was a teenager, I did.
I can remember, I like, better chill out for a
little while at least, because you know, it's easy to
it's pretty it's relatively easy to to to go a
little faster than you intend to on the highway and
(39:10):
everything else. But I do remember getting a few speedy
tickets and you know, my radar going up, like maybe
I should maybe I should be a little more careful
about this, uh, you know, and as a teenager, that
was like a lot of money that that that was
going out the doors. So you know, I I don't know,
like a lot of these guys obviously have really nice
(39:30):
cars that can go really fast without much effort, and
you know, like gotta be a little more careful than that,
Gotta be a little more careful of that.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I wonder what the vehicle was because you can go
fast and not know you're going fast. I mean, I
sound crazy, but you can go past the space.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
You can It's true. I mean, like if you're on
like a if you're on like a long road trip,
like I found myself on long road trips and like,
holy crap, I'm going I'm like going ninety you know
what I mean? Like that does happen. And I think
with the cars that you might have, it might be
easier to get there than even in a situation like that.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
And I can envision that scenario for you, Albert. You know,
you're going to a hockey tournament. You know, maybe there's
some unruliness in the back seat and your better half
is just laying down the law, which I think we've
we've heard on the show once once you're once before,
so uh.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I can see that scenario where you're like pedal to
the metal. I need to get the hell out of
this vehicle.
Speaker 6 (40:29):
We've all been as as as husbands and dads, we've been, we've.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Been a we've been a captivity for two whiles.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I want to ask you about any update with Max
Crosby and a trade ensuing obviously as the beginning of
the new league year UH approaches. Who's the best suitor,
who's going to make a play for him?
Speaker 7 (40:52):
Yeah, you know, I think at this point, really what
what what you're looking at is the Raiders sitting back
and letting and Mark you come to them, and you
know they're asking right to tie, which should be he's
a great player, And you know, I think for everyone involved,
the best scenario, best case scenario is that something is
(41:13):
agreed to by early next week, because you know, for
these other teams, you know, if you need net rusher,
you got to make a decision on whether or not
you're going to pursue Trey Hendrickson or adopt Aoa or
jail and phill up. So one of the guys will
be out there next week, you know, And and then
you know, as far as the Raiders are concerned, this
(41:34):
is probably the biggest full of candidates that you're going
to have because once we get passed next week, they're
talking about cash budgets, cast budgets being spent, they're talking
about rosters being filled and hole being plugged, and so
like you get to that, you got to you have
passed next week and now all of a sudden, like
everything sort of shifts and change, you know, And so
(41:57):
you know, I do think over the next few days
this is this is at least gonna take shape for
the Raiders, and they're gonna have to make some decisions
on whether or not the value in fart of them
is worth. Uh, it's worth moving on from that. And
you know, we've been through all the history with the
knee injury and everything that happened with you know, Brady
Guerrero and and all that, like from December. So you know,
(42:22):
like as far as the teams that will be involved,
like Chicago, Tampa, New England. Uh, you know, I thought
Seattle for a while. I'm not sure they're gonna be
willing to meet the vice to get there, but they
were one that at least initially showed some interest. Uh
you know, Philadelphia I think as an interest. So you know,
(42:44):
you've got I think a healthy number of teams I think,
you know, around the border of the league is gonna
be in this. It has been in this, and you know,
I think over the next few days he sort of
hit one of those checkpoints where a deal can be
done doesn't mean it's going to be done. Uh, you know,
that might Parson Kydasky, But I've been at the Little
Ridge for the blood of most teams just because you know,
(43:05):
like some of these deals, but deal with Michael has done.
Michael at twenty four years old. Max is gonna be
twenty nine when the twenty twenty six years starts, So
it's it's not the same thing, you know, But certainly
I think they're gonna be some good offers in front
of the Raiders over the course of the next couple
of days, and then they'll just have to make a
call on whether it's the time to do it or not.
Speaker 5 (43:26):
Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. I
just wanted to follow up on something because there was
the report out from Mike Silver of The Athletic that described,
you know, Raiders players, people within the building not happy
about Alex Guerrero's presence. And I know, obviously you being
close to New England and working and covering that franchise
(43:47):
as well too and talking to people, how real of
an issue is that Alex Guerrero now having some influence
in Las Vegas with the Raiders.
Speaker 7 (43:59):
I think it's something that I've gotten an allowles over
the years. I think he's a he's a really good guy,
you know. I think like it the thing that was
maybe jarring to the people there is the number of
people that report to him, the way that's structured, you know,
and that like he is in a in a real
(44:19):
position of power there now, you know. And so he
went from kind of being like the body coach for
for players, you know, going back a couple of years
when uh, you know, when Brady first bought into the
team to now like having having a real role, you know,
and and having real power, and so you know, you
have that and then you attach to that his you know,
(44:42):
obvious relationship with Brady and the fact that Brady is
not there every day, but there's a perception that everybody
there sort of answers to Brady, and like I mean
just just a vision like it being your workplace, right
and you know that there's somebody has somebody answers to,
but he's not there every day. And then there's this
(45:04):
guy in the building that is sort of seen as
I don't know, like his eyes in the ears there.
You know, that would be a little weird, right, Like
that would kind of like be a little funky. And
I think that that's sort of the way that this
is set up, and is do the do the Raiders
need to clean that up a little bit? I think
(45:24):
they probably do, you know, you know, because Guerrera does
have a hands on roll with the players too, you know,
so it's a different setup. I like, I mold, this
looks like a year from that, two years from now,
we'll see. Uh, We've seen these sorts of things in
the past. This sounds like a little unique. And that
(45:45):
Brady's a limited partner. He's not the he's a controlling owner,
but obviously he he carries he carries a big stick
amount of organization and uh, you know, I think most
of the decision make in there at least runs through him.
And so you're having somebody like Guerrero on hand has
(46:06):
complicated that a little bit and looked like I think
that's I mentioned his name beat guys a bunch over
the last couple of months. That communication issue that was
there with Max, like that was the part of all
of it, you know, and Max is feeling that when
they shut him down with two games left, it was
in an effort to get the number one overall pick,
but Allax is involved in that too, and that's where
I think some of this this blew up with Max
(46:28):
and it's it's something that I think, does you know,
need to be addressed and maybe streamlined a little bit.
Speaker 4 (46:36):
Ab the Chiefs, they just had a major trade take place.
They obviously sent Trent McDuffie to the rams and got
compensation for that. I mean, I've made it a point
to say there's the possibility that the window is closing
(46:57):
on on the Kansas City chief But that's just one
person's opinion. What what do we take away from this
trade from an industry perspective.
Speaker 7 (47:07):
Yeah, I would say like this is sort of, you know,
part of the reality of having a loss and a
little stopping heavy over the years, right and trying to
manage all of that, and so you know where they
are going forward now. I would say this kind of
goes back a year where they had drafted really well
(47:30):
and this is sort of the result of the tyreektail
trade where they had a ton of picks and they
hit on a bunch of guys. And so when you
hit a bunch of a bunch of guys at once
the way that they did, you have, you know, some
moving parts and tough decisions take. So last year they
started the process of resigning some of those guys. So
they resigned Nick Bolton, they re signed George carl Offtis,
(47:53):
they re signed Trad Smith, they resigned Creed Humphrey. And
so you've got all of these guys that have become
in or go for that, and you're resigning all of
those guys. So as part of that, they made an
effort to try to resign Trent mcdufty, and I think
last year they were pretty far apart, and the Stingley
deal and the Sauce Gardner deal affected all of that.
(48:15):
And so now they come into this offseason and the
price has only gone up, and I think there was
like a recognition like this is going to be really
challenging to.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
Do a deal.
Speaker 7 (48:27):
And so the same way that the DeVante Adams trade
and contract in twenty twenty two affected things with Tyreek,
those other negotiations affected things here with Trent mcdufty and
opened the door for that discussion, Okay, are we better
off doing the same thing with Trent that we did
with Tyreek four years ago? And I think the answer
(48:50):
was yes. You know, the answer was like, let's restock.
We'll have a ton of draft picks this year. We
got an extra pick next year, and we'll have a
chance to do what we did a few years ago,
which was which is make the roster a lot younger
and add more players on rookie contracts. So like, that's
(49:10):
sort of the nuts and bolts of it and the
economics of it. Will it work? I mean that all
the times I'm getting the draft picks right, you know.
But I do think that there was a feeling that
they were they were going to need to restock the
core and get younger core players on the ross. So
particularly with the fact that Travis Kelsey and Chris Chell,
(49:31):
who been such a sellers, aren't going to be around
for very much longer.
Speaker 6 (49:35):
Hey, al, we talked about Aaron Rodgers earlier and Pittsburgh
and just the decision that is on the horizon for
both sides of that. But how foresee this working out?
Do you feel like Rogers is potentially done if he
comes back?
Speaker 2 (49:47):
Is only Pittsburgh? Is there other teams or another team
in the mix in your mind?
Speaker 7 (49:56):
Yeah, I tend the biggest probably Pittsburgh or or US. Now,
like I guess you could rule up the Minnesota thing
and like, you know, he wanted to play there last year.
And if Kevin o'donald picked up the phone, you know,
and and said like, I'd love for you to be
at quarterback for a year, like because that's so a
(50:16):
monkey wrench is the whole thing that's possible. I would
say this for Aeron I have no idea what he's
going to do, right, like I think going he knows.
But what I can say is like my experience with
him and talking to him when I have over the
last few years, is I do think that like the
(50:38):
experience of Pittsburgh last year rekindled his love of football,
and that's really what he's been looking for the last
few years. It's like I want to get back to
enjoying the sport and I want to enjoy what I
have left as far as my ability to play the
sport at the highest level. And even the last year
and the way that he had hoped there was that
(50:59):
like all right, like this was great, you know, and
I love playing football again. I love being around my teammates.
And he had a great experience playing for Mike Tomlin.
And now it comes like McCarthy back into the conversation
and like a lot of guys on staff who Wearing
has relationships with, and so it just sets up in
a way where if he does want to play football again,
(51:22):
there's a very nice comfortable landing spot there right where
he was last year. Again. Did he do it? I
don't know, but I would say things line up where,
you know, if he does want to play another year,
it's I think it'd be really comfortable for him to
do it. This.
