in a matter of moments. Coming out of Denver heading
into the New Jersey area, New York area, we'll get
to it. Then we're gonna stay in that New York
region as well. Uh, we'll catch up on some some
conversations on the south down south. But for now, you
know how it works. We get into the show and
(01:28):
I got to find out how the guys are doing.
I think we're still looking for TJ. But we definitely
have stretched armstrong here.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
How you feeling, bro?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
How's the weather?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh man? The weather?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
It's a nice fall saturday, you know, in the high fifties,
low sixties.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Man, perfect football weather if you're a football.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Fan and play also, so surprised, surprised me this weekend.
He came home No Dames, little by a week man.
So he walked through the door and slammed his bag,
happy to be home.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And right, did you did you cry?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
No, I think you try in the bedroom. Did you
go cry in the car?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah? Almost?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That's my boy, Blue, I get it, so get it. Yeah,
after this I'll be running to the high school. My
daughter is playing I believe in the States in my
finals in soccer. So if they won the day, she'll
be playing in the state finals next week.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
So hey, fun feel saturday?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Man?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
A lot happened, a lot going on this weekend, sports man,
And hey man, it's another beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
How tall is by now?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
She's approaching six feet man, which is wow, it's correct, I.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Know, man.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
But the crazy too. That's a real good right, especially
especially be a point guard.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Man.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
But when you put her around these girls when we
go on these visits, she's like a shrimp. It's like,
you don't realize how big some of these young women are,
like six three six four six five, and you're like,
I'm looking some of these young women in the eye, like, yo,
this is crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Just don't move like her though. That's that's the thing
about it, right, Yeah, yeah, you got to be able
to move when you're moving on them stilts, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
She picks them up and she puts them down. Speaking
of picking them up and putting them down, Sean Payton
picked it up and put it down on Russ Russell
Wilson a little bit back. Then Russell Wilson took to
Twitter and picked it up and put it down on him,
and then Sean Payton came back and had things to say. Now,
obviously this has gone on since the game that took
(03:32):
place between the Broncos and the Giants. The Broncos were
able to have this ridiculously crazy comeback and winning the game.
But you know, Sean Payton had his shots to take
and I guess you know what, we could rehash it
and then Bo, you have the tweet available or the
(03:52):
ex post that that Russ had Do you do you
have that available to read?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
BO?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Are you there? Bo? Okay? Perfect? All right, Let's take
a listen to what Sean Payton had to say during
the post game of what took place between them and
the Broncos, the Giants and the Broncos. Then hopefully we'll
have the message that Russ sent back to him, and
then we'll have the response that Sean Payton had to
(04:21):
Rest's comments. Here's what started the whole Lover's quarrel.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
I have a ton of respect for that organization. I
spent four in my early years there coordinating Super Bowl
first game in this stadium before nine to eleven close
with the Marittish family, and you know, they found a
little spark with that quarterback. I was talking to John
Mary not too long ago, and I said, we were
(04:46):
hoping that that change would have happened long long after
our game.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
All right, So that was the first say grenade that
was thrown. BO, do you happen to have it, are you? Yeah,
I've got Russ. Russell Wilson tweeted class list but not surprised.
Didn't realize you're still bounty hunting fifteen plus years later
through the media. Okay, so bounty hunting. Obviously the reference
(05:13):
was bounty Gate that took place in New Orleans where
they were paying paying for you know, certain things that
took place. Heard a guy get him out of the game,
such and such, dot to die with Greg Williams. They
both got suspended. We all know the story. Then, So
Sean Payton sees the post and he comes back and
(05:37):
he had this in response to what Russ had to say.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
The euphoria, the way that game unfolded it, that was
strictly about dark. That was in no way, shape or
form anything that was directed at Russ. So and I
might be able to see how he might perceive that,
But coming off that win and watching how he played, yeah,
that that wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Now, that's that's all the way, one hundred percent cap
because the way it was worded, it was like keep
playing the dude that you were playing because it's easier
to beat that guy than it was for us to
be able to beat the guy that went in. So
whether he meant it directly for Russ like personally, no
(06:23):
matter if there was a personal relationship or not, it
was shade towards the guy that was starting before Jackson
Dark was put in. What was your take on it.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I mean, it's exactly what it is. It's just Sean
Payton being petty.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
And obviously all this goes back to the Denver Broncos
when you know, he basically gave Russell Wilson an ultimatum
to you know, not play for an injury guarantee. And
I always asked the question is, how can you like
bench a player for an injury guarantee on his contract
(06:59):
because you own thirty seven million dollars if he doesn't
get hurt. So what's the difference between that and tanking?
I don't, I don't. I don't know the difference between
the two, And somebody should have been reprehended because of Yeah,
because it's basically telling your quarterback, you know what, man,
we're not going to play you not because you don't
(07:22):
give us the best, uh you know, option to win,
but we don't want to take on the rest of
your guaranteed money in the quarterback, So we're just going
to bench you and give and basically give him an
ultimatum and not play because of the fact and take
thirty seven million dollars out of this man's pocket on purpose.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And I don't know, I don't know how that's legal.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
But it never sat well with me with Sean Payton
to stoop to that level because I've always thought that
he's been an exceptional head coach. I mean, obviously all
the success did that he had the Wallers with Breeze
and obviously winning the World Championship. I just thought the
man was all about football, because that's the only Sean
(08:08):
Payton I know, based off of the success that you
know he's had and playing against him, he's always been exceptional.
But I just think that right now, the emotional part
between him and Russ Man, it's petty for him to
even go down this road. And just like Russ said, listen,
I agree with a man, it's one hundred percent class list.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's a game that they didn't even supposed to win.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, I mean, down nineteen points going into the fourth
quarter and the Giants find a way to lose a
football game that what if he was supposed to win
that game.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So it's an ongoing feud.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I believe with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson, but you know,
I gotta go with Russ on this, and it was
shots fired at him one hundred percent. And now that
you know they're going back and forth, he's trying to
downplay like it wasn't meant for Russell Wilson, and everybody
knows that it was.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I just wonder why he felt the need to address
it if it wasn't about Russ, Like you came back,
you doubled down on it by saying, look, this was
more about Jackson Dark and what Jackson Dart brings to
the table. And I'm just curious as to how that
played a part in him saying what he had to say,
(09:28):
because the setup of what he had to say totally
painted the picture of they went in a different direction
that totally impacted their team in such a positive manner.
I guess the point of the conversation here is it's
interesting that you know, for me my take on it.
You know, I'm an outspoken dude. You've been an outspoken dude.
(09:49):
TJ's not here, but he's been an outspoken dude. We've
always been outspoken dudes throughout our lives and our careers,
and we were we got in trouble for like having
what to say when we said it. Yeah, because we
stood on what it is that we said and what
we believed. I don't feel like coaches are held to
(10:10):
the same standard. I think that this is one of
those moments where you say, Okay, if a player decides
to go at a coach like that in the media,
regardless of if the league were to get involved with it,
you know who's going to get involved the organization, the organization.
Somebody's going to come to RUSS and say, like, you know,
(10:33):
there's going to be a Reppermand could even be a
fine by the organization basically saying what are you going
at another coach around the league for? Like what are
you saying these derogatory terms for? Like keep it about
football like you played there. We understand you might be upset,
but keep it about football. But who does that to
a coach? Who does that to the coach, they have
(10:55):
freak but they got free run of doing it, And that,
to me, I feel like just to be able to
step in and be like I wasn't talking about him
like you've had some of the brightest minds and media.
I heard a take on it by Dan Patrick, and
there's not one person that didn't come to the same
conclusion that Sean Payton was taking a direct shot at
(11:18):
Russell Wilson by praising Jackson dark and I thought that was,
you know, we could call it in that moment. Definitely
didn't show class, It didn't show grace because that was Elaine.
He didn't have to go in. If anything, he could
have just praised the idea that Bo Knicks and his
Denver Broncos team played their tails off until the game
(11:39):
was over and that led to them getting a victory.
But you made it a point to compliment and build
up the Giants organization while diminishing and putting down and
minimizing one of their players that happened to be your
starting quarterback a couple of years back. So I don't know,
(12:02):
I thought it was bad business. I too, like you,
have always looked at Sean Payton as being like a
guy that I would want to play for. He seems
like a cool dude. I met him a few times.
Seemed like a real down to earth dude. But for
whatever reason, I guess the thing between him and Russ
didn't end well and he doesn't feel good about it,
(12:23):
and he made it a point of course he does
take a jab when he wanted to take a jab.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Because, you know, Kaseean Payton, I don't believe that he
really had to step back into coaching because he was,
you know, on TV being an analyst and all of
those good things, and then when he decided to step
back into football, like he failed, like miserably, and I
don't think he ever experienced that in professional football, having
(12:50):
a season that he had the dever Broncos and basically
just blaming it all on Russ is what he did.
And I just don't know how, in one season, and
how how many seasons he was in Denver, how the
relationship can go so bad when Sean Payton is basically
a quarterback whisper, they say, so, I don't know how
(13:11):
how the relationship got to the point that it did.
Maybe Russell is just out there doing his own thing
or whatever the case may be. But I just don't understand,
you know, why these two guys, you know, ended the
way that it did, and all these things are going
through the media.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
There is definitely some hard feelings that you could tell that.
I mean, he took that man's office. You know, Russ
had came in there, got his own office. And people
should know that Russell Wilson was not the player that
Sean Payton brought in, but they did bring Sean Payton
in to see if he could get Russ back on
track to start having which by the way, he did
(13:48):
not have horrible seasons in Denver. They just weren't really
able to win. For what it's worth when you're watching
those games that they were trying to win but may
have ended up losing, and it made Sean Payton looked bad, mate,
Russ looked bad. You were probably sitting at home eating
some well some food, some tailgate food, some game day food,

This week, we we've heard so many different comments coming
(18:12):
out of the Jets organization. The Jets owner was basically
defending Aaron Glenn and bashing Justin Fields, basically saying that
he believes and and Aaron Glenn, well, you know what,
just let's just take a listen. Let's hear what he
had to say. Because you can't draw this up better
(18:34):
movie script. Let's listen to what he had to say
about it. It looks like he's turning around parts. You know,
it's hard when you have a quarterback with you know,
with a rating that they've.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Got, you know, is I mean, he has the ability,
but something just is not jiving.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
But if you look at any any head coach or
the quarterback like that, you're going.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
To see similar results if you across the league.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
You have to play consistently at that.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Position, and that's what we're going to try to do.
But you can just complete a pass, it would look good.
You know, you got to complete some power. You got
to convince them that you can do something. They brought
him in.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Come on, y'all brought him, y'all brought that man there
y'all hired him and paid him. Y'all paid him enough money,
more money than what Pittsburgh offered him. Y'all took him.
You probably have a better offense on paper, personnel wise
than the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the guy y'all got rid
of is doing pretty good job in Pittsburgh right now.
So you can't say you have a quarterback like this.
(19:35):
You can't turn it around. You had Aaron Rodgers last year.
You brought in a new coach. I had the new
coach assassinate Aaron Rodgers to get him my batty there.
What's your take on it? Man? You were close to
this situation. You know what they how they they operate
behind those walls. What what's your take on this situation?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You know what, man, I've always said that, you know,
I'm a I'm a big fan of Wood Johnson. You know,
he bought me into the team and the organization and
and gave me another opportunity to play football. But in
this instance, man, he's wrong. And I've never heard the
owner just basically, you know, blamed the entire season basically
(20:13):
on one person and throwing throwing your quarter back under
the bus like he did. And the crazy thing about
it is that, just like you said, you hired this
general manager, Darren Mougi, Moji or whatever his last name is,
and do your research, do your due diligence. You go
(20:33):
out and he brings in Aaron Glenn. Do you know
who the assistant general manager of the Denver Broncos was
in twenty twenty two?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Who was?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It was?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Darren Mouji? You know what? The record was five and twelve.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Do you know who the assistant sister general manager or
the Denver Bronco twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Three Darren Muji? Guess what? Guess what the record was
nine and eight.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
So if you look at the teams that this man
has been putting together over the last four or five
years in the NFL, he hasn't had a lot of success.
And the general manager, Woody Johnson's steps away from everything,
all the decisions making except higher in the GM, and
Moodie brings in Anglyn and they bring in Justin Fields
(21:19):
and guarantee him forty million dollars based off of the
season that he had a year ago and for the
Pittsburgh Steelers, and now he is basically the scapegoat for
the new York Jets being on seven and it just
I can't believe that Woody will come out and just
(21:40):
say this about his starting quarterback that they signed and
bought in.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
That's what I can't believe. He said something's not jiving.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
I don't even know what that means. If you can,
if we complete a pass, that would be good, like
damn like word. That's how you feel about justin field.
And this is one of the main reasons why a
lot of guys in the league don't want to come
to New York because of instances like this, because when
(22:10):
you don't play well, man, they ride you like you
wouldn't believe in Paul's and the whole thing of being
criticized playing here. Man, I feel bad for jesseph Philis
because he's just he's in a bad situation. And Aaron Glenn,
(22:33):
even though you're a great football player, it doesn't always
translate into you being a good or great coach. And
I think that's what he's learning here. First and foremost,
the badly coached. This team is basically poorly put together.
And now you have a first year general manager that
(22:54):
you bought in, Woody Johnson, currently at on and seven
and I just don't foresee them winning one or two games,
you know, for the rest of the season. So who
are you going to throw the blame on for the
rest of the season if you continue to put this
product out on a football field that doesn't perform, not
(23:15):
winning football games. They look like they're unprepared in every
phase of football, which is sad.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So I don't know what you do moving forward.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
And you say, any head coach would look bad if
the quarterback is playing the way that it is. But
you signed them, you bought them in nobody else wanted
them but you, and you guarantee them forty million dollars, so.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You know what own it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think it's hard to come up with any other
conclusion in terms of how does a team truly turn
around being what you know, being a loser to being
a winner when the one constant is someone like the owner, right,
like if the owner is and he could be a
(24:08):
good hearted person, right like you said, like you banguit him.
He gave you an opportunity, you know, during some some
times that you had to get through what you had
to get through, and and you know what, that's cool,
that's that's dope. But when they have when they have
a way about them that holds back the progress and
(24:29):
the success of the operation that's that's going on. There's
no way to fix it. I don't believe me. There's
really truly any way to fix a situation when the
main culprit of why something is failing is the person
who owns the company to begin with, you know, So
(24:50):
it just leads me down the road plex of just
trying to understand with the idea of what what he
Johnson brings to the table. The lack of awareness, I
would say, the lack of awareness is what's most confusing
(25:13):
to me because I'm looking at Woody Johnson. He's successful
and in his family business, they took over the team.
How do you not figure out at some point like
let's hire the best guys and let's stay out of
the way and let them do what they do, like
it's the easiest thing, but they don't do it.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Let me ask you a question, man, how can an
organization be so bad for so long? Can you be
again to answer that question of where it starts at?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Where does it start at?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I mean for me, just because I experienced it so
closely and so intimately, like you had the opportunity to
go to Pittsburgh, like you didn't have to deal with dysfunction.
So you know, one way or other, like they didn't
pay you what you wanted in the end, and it
ended up you know, but you ended up going to
(26:12):
another organization that you know, especially at that time where
Ernie A. Corsey and all those guys in there in Conflin.
It was a it was a very very well ram
buttoned up place that you ended up going to. Now
I don't know about the Jets and all that stuff,
but I mean, I guess I do know about the Jets.
But what I will say is I was drafted to
(26:34):
a dysfunctional organization and at one hundred percent started with
Dan Sneider one hundred percent right, And it's that's That's
so if you're wondering where does that disconnect and that dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Take place, it starts.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It starts with the owner. Starts at the top. It
don't start from the bottom up, that's for certain. Like
you know, you see people, I always always looked at
why successful, you know, coaches were successful and if you
ever paid attention to what they did, they knew who
the grounds keepers were, They knew who the trainers were
(27:10):
on a first name basis. They knew everybody who impacted
that program, from the smallest detail to the biggest one,
to the smallest role to the biggest one. They knew
who they all were man. And there was a respect
factor there. And there was a teamwork factor there. And
to me, I don't know what he Johnson didn't work
(27:33):
for him or play on his team, but that type
of respect level was totally missing with Dan Snyder. Like
he had his grown ass employees. Right, you're a grown up.
You work in media or relations, or you work in
sales or wherever they is scouting. You had to reference
him as mister Snyder. You could call him Dan, you know,
(27:56):
like everybody talks about the Rooney family and every if
you know about Pittsburgh, and I only know about it.
I never played for. I only know about them as
a fan growing up and having the opportunity to be
around them. Nobody ever called the Rooney's mister Rooney, the
mister Rooney's what y'all call him? Y'all called him by name?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, look, listen, you could call mister Rooney by his
first name, first name, but out of the respect that
you had for him. You called them mister Rooney, and
I said, he listen, they don't have to call. Yeah,
you don't have to call.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And you'd be like, no, man, come on, I'm gonna
call you, mister Rooney.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
And just like you said, even when I was in
New York, Steve or John, Hey, how you doing plex
and the respect, the respect level was all the way
to the top. Just like you said, admen goes down
to the janitors or the people, the people working in
the locker room, the security outside inside the building. Everybody
(28:59):
knew everybody and that is what you call a well
run organization. And for the Jets, I'm gonna take it
back to Jamal Adams. Jamal Adams was one of the
premier safeties coming out of college and LSU, won a
lot of football games and came to the New York
Jets and in twenty nineteen, man, I think he played
(29:23):
three years with the Jets. This man was a two
time first team All Pro. Woke up one morning to say,
my dream of the NFL and coming out here and
losing every Sunday. This is what I dreamed of as
a kid. When I came to the NFL and they
shipped him out to Seattle Seahawks and now he's having
(29:45):
basically having a Hall of Fame career. And I feel
bad for the Garrett Wilsons of the world and Quinn,
who we had on the show last year, because you
can see how frustrated these young men are going out
every weekend compete career and given everything that they have
and they can't even win a ball game. And you
(30:06):
can see it on Garrett Wilson's face every weekend. You
can see it on Q's face, Quinn Williams, because you
know that these guys are out there given everything that
they have so the organization and they it's almost like
they're not even taking it, taking it seriously. Quinn is
the first team All po Garrett, Garrett Wilson's are all
Pro running back and now you're in a situation to
(30:28):
where you own seven. It's like, you say, man, these
young men are wasting prime years at an organization that
they cannot get back due to the fact that the
owner doesn't want to put together a well run organization.
And it's not going to change anytime soon because it
starts at the top and he has to be able
(30:49):
to get some real football people in the building that
they want to turn this organization around.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I just always say, if the idea of what it
is that that you're doing in terms of culture is toxic,
and listen, if you have a toxic way about you,
people are going to tell you. You can't be totally
oblivious to when you create toxic moments because of the
(31:16):
way you respond to things, way you do things you've known,
whether it's your girlfriend, your wife, your brother, your sister,
Like hey, man, like you kind of got some you
got some toxic ways about you. Man, if you're the
leader of a company and you have toxic ways, you
have got to remove yourself from the scenario and allow
(31:37):
for the healing people, the respectable people, the people that
people trust. You got to put them in position to
believe and to buy in because all those people you
talked about, from security to trainers and stuff like that.
If you're looking at this as I'm doing my job,
I'm go home versus you take own ownership over it.
(32:00):
Like I was supposed to go home an hour ago.
But I'm going to make sure that the job that
I'm doing is done to the highest ability and done
finished and finished. Guys want to be there, guys want
to be a part of it. They take ownership over,
say my team, not this team. It's they say my
team not I'm ready to get up out of here.
(32:22):
I want to be here right when you create, when
you don't allow for those those environments and people that
go through it can can speak to it and testify
to it because they've experienced it. Like going through a
football season with a toxic owner is crazy hard.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Experienced it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
It's crazy hard, man. It's such a challenge to do
it and the only people who realize how hard it
is are all the people that work in the building.
And every once in a while there'll be a few
like you know, he had an infatuation and a love
for a few players. I'll keep them nameless, Clinton, Sean Santana,
Miami guys. I keep them nameless, though I want say
(33:00):
anybody out loud, but he had an infatuation with Miami players.
He just wasn't. He was only cool with who he
was cool with, and then he was only cool until
a certain point, certain degree. So it is what it is. Man.
He handled this a certain type of way. It wasn't
you know, wasn't conducive to winning and.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
When you talk about all the people working in the
building of man, piece of my man Jose, who is
still to this day walking around the Giant room, the
Giants locker room, and he's heavily respected. So peace to
my man Jose, the little Yeah Jose.

Low and Crawl too. Let's get an update from my guy,

Cuffs the Legend coming on in the second half of
the show. Yes, we will be touching on the Shenanigans
taking place with the gambling and connected to the NBA.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
But before we get to the end of this hour, Plex,
I wanted to throw out at you. This week, Michael
Pennix is out. What does that mean for a Falcons
team that's trying to figure it out? Aj Brown? They
seem to find him in the passing game last week,
but now he's out this week against your Giants and
Lamar Jackson. He's out again for Baltimore's game this weekend.
(39:51):
How how impactful? Like you know, Michael Pennis being out?
Kirk Cousins gets the opportunity is this good for Penis,
is good for Cousins? Is good for Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Eagles? You know, just touch on how you feel about it.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
I mean Atlanta Falcons are still basically, uh, you know,
two games out of first place, you know, in the
in the uh NFC South, behind him Bay Buccaneers, who
you know. Uh until last week back, everybody was saying
that Baker Mayfield was the you know, basically the mid
season MVP.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
But but I'm not.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
I'm not worried about the Falcons moving forward to or.
They play the Miami Dolphins tomorrow and everybody knows that
the Miami Dolphins are a complete disarray, that one is
at at one and six. So uh, they they played
the Miami Dolphins, they go to New England, then they
got Indianapolis. So I think moving forward, you know, if
they can win tomorrow, I believe that Michael Pennix's will
(40:43):
be back next week when the Falcons go to New England.
And you know, you you touched on a J. Brown,
I I saw, I saw he put out a tweet
this week saying that I'm being used but not being used,
and you know, I I I don't understand, you know,
what issue is. You know, everybody wants to go out
(41:03):
and have success and you know, be great, you know
every single Sunday. But Agent Brown, you're winning football games.
There are some guys out there that are having all
the success in the world, having these you know, Pro
Bowl seasons, but their teams, but their teams are not winning.
I mean, the last time I checked, it was all
about winning football game. That's really all I ever carried about.
(41:25):
And I always say one of the one of the
most one of the rare, uh, you know things about
professional sports is, uh, you have to be unselfish if
you want to win. And I attribute that to my
my championship football team, you know seven, because nobody cared
about what they did or what happened on Sunday. Everybody
(41:46):
wanted to win. So take that approach, and I think
that you know, uh, you know, moving forward, you have
a more positive you know, uh energy and outlook about
yourself moving forward with in this offense. I mean, you
you just came up with Super Bowl, you won a
game last week, and you're probably going to win tomorrow
against the two and five New York Giants. Man, So
(42:10):
you know, a lot of things unwrapped up. But I
think moving forward for the Philadelphia Eagles, they're going to
win the NFC East and they're one of my top
two teams in the NFC to get to a championship game.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I'll just touch on Lamar Jackson super quickly. They're playing
against a pretty decent Beers team. I mean, they look
like they're trying to figure it out under Ben Johnson,
and Caleb seems to be playing at an improvement. So
I think this is turning into an opportunity, well not opportunity,
but a situation where it could get pretty pretty interesting
(42:44):
for the seat that coach Harball is sitting on in Baltimore.
Something to watch. It's always talked about with the guy
that's a little bit in Pittsburgh comparison. But hey, let's
see what happens. You got AJ Brown he's out. You
got Penn X he's out. You got Lamar Jackson he's out.
So we'll see what happens. We got our two coming
at you. It's up on game Fox Sports Radio. We'll
(43:06):
be right back
This is up on Game, Lights camera, Atche, start to
show me about.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You want anfl experience that this is the show for you.
It's our time with LaVar aary Tet.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Has this team been exposed?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
TJ. Hushman, Zanna, let the players aside the game.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And Plexico Burress.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
All right, I gotta say is this don't pump the
bell man.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It's a show with three of the best to ever
do it on and off the field, and no lie
from the Fox Sports radio studios. Here's pro bowlers LaVar
airy Tet, TJ. Hushman, Sanna and Super Bowl champion Plexico Burres.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
All right, all right, all right, welcome into the show.
I hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend. Buckled
up and buckled in, ready to have some great sports
take place, specially for college football. You got a lot
to get to you today on up on Game we
got well a lover's quarrel. Will we'll broach that topic
(01:05):
in a matter of moments. Coming out of Denver heading
into the New Jersey area, New York area, we'll get
to it. Then we're gonna stay in that New York
region as well. Uh, we'll catch up on some some
conversations on the south down south. But for now, you
know how it works. We get into the show and
(01:28):
I got to find out how the guys are doing.
I think we're still looking for TJ. But we definitely
have stretched armstrong here.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
How you feeling, bro?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
How's the weather?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh man? The weather?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
It's a nice fall saturday, you know, in the high fifties,
low sixties.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Man, perfect football weather if you're a football.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Fan and play also, so surprised, surprised me this weekend.
He came home No Dames, little by a week man.
So he walked through the door and slammed his bag,
happy to be home.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And right, did you did you cry?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
No, I think you try in the bedroom. Did you
go cry in the car?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah? Almost?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That's my boy, Blue, I get it, so get it. Yeah,
after this I'll be running to the high school. My
daughter is playing I believe in the States in my
finals in soccer. So if they won the day, she'll
be playing in the state finals next week.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
So hey, fun feel saturday?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Man?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
A lot happened, a lot going on this weekend, sports man,
And hey man, it's another beautiful day.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
How tall is by now?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
She's approaching six feet man, which is wow, it's correct, I.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Know, man.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
But the crazy too. That's a real good right, especially
especially be a point guard.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Man.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
But when you put her around these girls when we
go on these visits, she's like a shrimp. It's like,
you don't realize how big some of these young women are,
like six three six four six five, and you're like,
I'm looking some of these young women in the eye, like, yo,
this is crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Just don't move like her though. That's that's the thing
about it, right, Yeah, yeah, you got to be able
to move when you're moving on them stilts, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
She picks them up and she puts them down. Speaking
of picking them up and putting them down, Sean Payton
picked it up and put it down on Russ Russell
Wilson a little bit back. Then Russell Wilson took to
Twitter and picked it up and put it down on him,
and then Sean Payton came back and had things to say. Now,
obviously this has gone on since the game that took
(03:32):
place between the Broncos and the Giants. The Broncos were
able to have this ridiculously crazy comeback and winning the game.
But you know, Sean Payton had his shots to take
and I guess you know what, we could rehash it
and then Bo, you have the tweet available or the
(03:52):
ex post that that Russ had Do you do you
have that available to read?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
BO?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Are you there? Bo? Okay? Perfect? All right, Let's take
a listen to what Sean Payton had to say during
the post game of what took place between them and
the Broncos, the Giants and the Broncos. Then hopefully we'll
have the message that Russ sent back to him, and
then we'll have the response that Sean Payton had to
(04:21):
Rest's comments. Here's what started the whole Lover's quarrel.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
I have a ton of respect for that organization. I
spent four in my early years there coordinating Super Bowl
first game in this stadium before nine to eleven close
with the Marittish family, and you know, they found a
little spark with that quarterback. I was talking to John
Mary not too long ago, and I said, we were
(04:46):
hoping that that change would have happened long long after
our game.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
All right, So that was the first say grenade that
was thrown. BO, do you happen to have it, are you? Yeah,
I've got Russ. Russell Wilson tweeted class list but not surprised.
Didn't realize you're still bounty hunting fifteen plus years later
through the media. Okay, so bounty hunting. Obviously the reference
(05:13):
was bounty Gate that took place in New Orleans where
they were paying paying for you know, certain things that
took place. Heard a guy get him out of the game,
such and such, dot to die with Greg Williams. They
both got suspended. We all know the story. Then, So
Sean Payton sees the post and he comes back and
(05:37):
he had this in response to what Russ had to say.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
The euphoria, the way that game unfolded it, that was
strictly about dark. That was in no way, shape or
form anything that was directed at Russ. So and I
might be able to see how he might perceive that,
But coming off that win and watching how he played, yeah,
that that wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Now, that's that's all the way, one hundred percent cap
because the way it was worded, it was like keep
playing the dude that you were playing because it's easier
to beat that guy than it was for us to
be able to beat the guy that went in. So
whether he meant it directly for Russ like personally, no
(06:23):
matter if there was a personal relationship or not, it
was shade towards the guy that was starting before Jackson
Dark was put in. What was your take on it.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I mean, it's exactly what it is. It's just Sean
Payton being petty.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
And obviously all this goes back to the Denver Broncos
when you know, he basically gave Russell Wilson an ultimatum
to you know, not play for an injury guarantee. And
I always asked the question is, how can you like
bench a player for an injury guarantee on his contract
(06:59):
because you own thirty seven million dollars if he doesn't
get hurt. So what's the difference between that and tanking?
I don't, I don't. I don't know the difference between
the two, And somebody should have been reprehended because of Yeah,
because it's basically telling your quarterback, you know what, man,
we're not going to play you not because you don't
(07:22):
give us the best, uh you know, option to win,
but we don't want to take on the rest of
your guaranteed money in the quarterback, So we're just going
to bench you and give and basically give him an
ultimatum and not play because of the fact and take
thirty seven million dollars out of this man's pocket on purpose.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And I don't know, I don't know how that's legal.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
But it never sat well with me with Sean Payton
to stoop to that level because I've always thought that
he's been an exceptional head coach. I mean, obviously all
the success did that he had the Wallers with Breeze
and obviously winning the World Championship. I just thought the
man was all about football, because that's the only Sean
(08:08):
Payton I know, based off of the success that you
know he's had and playing against him, he's always been exceptional.
But I just think that right now, the emotional part
between him and Russ Man, it's petty for him to
even go down this road. And just like Russ said, listen,
I agree with a man, it's one hundred percent class list.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's a game that they didn't even supposed to win.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, I mean, down nineteen points going into the fourth
quarter and the Giants find a way to lose a
football game that what if he was supposed to win
that game.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So it's an ongoing feud.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I believe with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson, but you know,
I gotta go with Russ on this, and it was
shots fired at him one hundred percent. And now that
you know they're going back and forth, he's trying to
downplay like it wasn't meant for Russell Wilson, and everybody
knows that it was.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I just wonder why he felt the need to address
it if it wasn't about Russ, Like you came back,
you doubled down on it by saying, look, this was
more about Jackson Dark and what Jackson Dart brings to
the table. And I'm just curious as to how that
played a part in him saying what he had to say,
(09:28):
because the setup of what he had to say totally
painted the picture of they went in a different direction
that totally impacted their team in such a positive manner.
I guess the point of the conversation here is it's
interesting that you know, for me my take on it.
You know, I'm an outspoken dude. You've been an outspoken dude.
(09:49):
TJ's not here, but he's been an outspoken dude. We've
always been outspoken dudes throughout our lives and our careers,
and we were we got in trouble for like having
what to say when we said it. Yeah, because we
stood on what it is that we said and what
we believed. I don't feel like coaches are held to
(10:10):
the same standard. I think that this is one of
those moments where you say, Okay, if a player decides
to go at a coach like that in the media,
regardless of if the league were to get involved with it,
you know who's going to get involved the organization, the organization.
Somebody's going to come to RUSS and say, like, you know,
(10:33):
there's going to be a Reppermand could even be a
fine by the organization basically saying what are you going
at another coach around the league for? Like what are
you saying these derogatory terms for? Like keep it about
football like you played there. We understand you might be upset,
but keep it about football. But who does that to
a coach? Who does that to the coach, they have
(10:55):
freak but they got free run of doing it, And that,
to me, I feel like just to be able to
step in and be like I wasn't talking about him
like you've had some of the brightest minds and media.
I heard a take on it by Dan Patrick, and
there's not one person that didn't come to the same
conclusion that Sean Payton was taking a direct shot at
(11:18):
Russell Wilson by praising Jackson dark and I thought that was,
you know, we could call it in that moment. Definitely
didn't show class, It didn't show grace because that was Elaine.
He didn't have to go in. If anything, he could
have just praised the idea that Bo Knicks and his
Denver Broncos team played their tails off until the game
(11:39):
was over and that led to them getting a victory.
But you made it a point to compliment and build
up the Giants organization while diminishing and putting down and
minimizing one of their players that happened to be your
starting quarterback a couple of years back. So I don't know,
(12:02):
I thought it was bad business. I too, like you,
have always looked at Sean Payton as being like a
guy that I would want to play for. He seems
like a cool dude. I met him a few times.
Seemed like a real down to earth dude. But for
whatever reason, I guess the thing between him and Russ
didn't end well and he doesn't feel good about it,
(12:23):
and he made it a point of course he does
take a jab when he wanted to take a jab.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Because, you know, Kaseean Payton, I don't believe that he
really had to step back into coaching because he was,
you know, on TV being an analyst and all of
those good things, and then when he decided to step
back into football, like he failed, like miserably, and I
don't think he ever experienced that in professional football, having
(12:50):
a season that he had the dever Broncos and basically
just blaming it all on Russ is what he did.
And I just don't know how, in one season, and
how how many seasons he was in Denver, how the
relationship can go so bad when Sean Payton is basically
a quarterback whisper, they say, so, I don't know how
(13:11):
how the relationship got to the point that it did.
Maybe Russell is just out there doing his own thing
or whatever the case may be. But I just don't understand,
you know, why these two guys, you know, ended the
way that it did, and all these things are going
through the media.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
There is definitely some hard feelings that you could tell that.
I mean, he took that man's office. You know, Russ
had came in there, got his own office. And people
should know that Russell Wilson was not the player that
Sean Payton brought in, but they did bring Sean Payton
in to see if he could get Russ back on
track to start having which by the way, he did
(13:48):
not have horrible seasons in Denver. They just weren't really
able to win. For what it's worth when you're watching
those games that they were trying to win but may
have ended up losing, and it made Sean Payton looked bad, mate,
Russ looked bad. You were probably sitting at home eating
some well some food, some tailgate food, some game day food,
(14:09):
and you know what, the original Louisiana Hot sauce is
the perfect balance of peppers, vinegar and salt, wings, nachos, burgers.
You can hit all that Tailgate food with that bold,
hand crafted flavor of the original Louisiana Hot sauce. That's
Louisiana Hot. Buy you something and listen, we got a

This week, we we've heard so many different comments coming
(18:12):
out of the Jets organization. The Jets owner was basically
defending Aaron Glenn and bashing Justin Fields, basically saying that
he believes and and Aaron Glenn, well, you know what,
just let's just take a listen. Let's hear what he
had to say. Because you can't draw this up better
(18:34):
movie script. Let's listen to what he had to say
about it. It looks like he's turning around parts. You know,
it's hard when you have a quarterback with you know,
with a rating that they've.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Got, you know, is I mean, he has the ability,
but something just is not jiving.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
But if you look at any any head coach or
the quarterback like that, you're going.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
To see similar results if you across the league.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
You have to play consistently at that.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Position, and that's what we're going to try to do.
But you can just complete a pass, it would look good.
You know, you got to complete some power. You got
to convince them that you can do something. They brought
him in.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Come on, y'all brought him, y'all brought that man there
y'all hired him and paid him. Y'all paid him enough money,
more money than what Pittsburgh offered him. Y'all took him.
You probably have a better offense on paper, personnel wise
than the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the guy y'all got rid
of is doing pretty good job in Pittsburgh right now.
So you can't say you have a quarterback like this.
(19:35):
You can't turn it around. You had Aaron Rodgers last year.
You brought in a new coach. I had the new
coach assassinate Aaron Rodgers to get him my batty there.
What's your take on it? Man? You were close to
this situation. You know what they how they they operate
behind those walls. What what's your take on this situation?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You know what, man, I've always said that, you know,
I'm a I'm a big fan of Wood Johnson. You know,
he bought me into the team and the organization and
and gave me another opportunity to play football. But in
this instance, man, he's wrong. And I've never heard the
owner just basically, you know, blamed the entire season basically
(20:13):
on one person and throwing throwing your quarter back under
the bus like he did. And the crazy thing about
it is that, just like you said, you hired this
general manager, Darren Mougi, Moji or whatever his last name is,
and do your research, do your due diligence. You go
(20:33):
out and he brings in Aaron Glenn. Do you know
who the assistant general manager of the Denver Broncos was
in twenty twenty two?
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Who was?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
It was?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Darren Mouji? You know what? The record was five and twelve.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Do you know who the assistant sister general manager or
the Denver Bronco twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Three Darren Muji? Guess what? Guess what the record was
nine and eight.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
So if you look at the teams that this man
has been putting together over the last four or five
years in the NFL, he hasn't had a lot of success.
And the general manager, Woody Johnson's steps away from everything,
all the decisions making except higher in the GM, and
Moodie brings in Anglyn and they bring in Justin Fields
(21:19):
and guarantee him forty million dollars based off of the
season that he had a year ago and for the
Pittsburgh Steelers, and now he is basically the scapegoat for
the new York Jets being on seven and it just
I can't believe that Woody will come out and just
(21:40):
say this about his starting quarterback that they signed and
bought in.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
That's what I can't believe. He said something's not jiving.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
I don't even know what that means. If you can,
if we complete a pass, that would be good, like
damn like word. That's how you feel about justin field.
And this is one of the main reasons why a
lot of guys in the league don't want to come
to New York because of instances like this, because when
(22:10):
you don't play well, man, they ride you like you
wouldn't believe in Paul's and the whole thing of being
criticized playing here. Man, I feel bad for jesseph Philis
because he's just he's in a bad situation. And Aaron Glenn,
(22:33):
even though you're a great football player, it doesn't always
translate into you being a good or great coach. And
I think that's what he's learning here. First and foremost,
the badly coached. This team is basically poorly put together.
And now you have a first year general manager that
(22:54):
you bought in, Woody Johnson, currently at on and seven
and I just don't foresee them winning one or two games,
you know, for the rest of the season. So who
are you going to throw the blame on for the
rest of the season if you continue to put this
product out on a football field that doesn't perform, not
(23:15):
winning football games. They look like they're unprepared in every
phase of football, which is sad.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So I don't know what you do moving forward.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
And you say, any head coach would look bad if
the quarterback is playing the way that it is. But
you signed them, you bought them in nobody else wanted
them but you, and you guarantee them forty million dollars, so.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You know what own it.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think it's hard to come up with any other
conclusion in terms of how does a team truly turn
around being what you know, being a loser to being
a winner when the one constant is someone like the owner, right,
like if the owner is and he could be a
(24:08):
good hearted person, right like you said, like you banguit him.
He gave you an opportunity, you know, during some some
times that you had to get through what you had
to get through, and and you know what, that's cool,
that's that's dope. But when they have when they have
a way about them that holds back the progress and
(24:29):
the success of the operation that's that's going on. There's
no way to fix it. I don't believe me. There's
really truly any way to fix a situation when the
main culprit of why something is failing is the person
who owns the company to begin with, you know, So
(24:50):
it just leads me down the road plex of just
trying to understand with the idea of what what he
Johnson brings to the table. The lack of awareness, I
would say, the lack of awareness is what's most confusing
(25:13):
to me because I'm looking at Woody Johnson. He's successful
and in his family business, they took over the team.
How do you not figure out at some point like
let's hire the best guys and let's stay out of
the way and let them do what they do, like
it's the easiest thing, but they don't do it.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Let me ask you a question, man, how can an
organization be so bad for so long? Can you be
again to answer that question of where it starts at?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Where does it start at?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I mean for me, just because I experienced it so
closely and so intimately, like you had the opportunity to
go to Pittsburgh, like you didn't have to deal with dysfunction.
So you know, one way or other, like they didn't
pay you what you wanted in the end, and it
ended up you know, but you ended up going to
(26:12):
another organization that you know, especially at that time where
Ernie A. Corsey and all those guys in there in Conflin.
It was a it was a very very well ram
buttoned up place that you ended up going to. Now
I don't know about the Jets and all that stuff,
but I mean, I guess I do know about the Jets.
But what I will say is I was drafted to
(26:34):
a dysfunctional organization and at one hundred percent started with
Dan Sneider one hundred percent right, And it's that's That's
so if you're wondering where does that disconnect and that dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Take place, it starts.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It starts with the owner. Starts at the top. It
don't start from the bottom up, that's for certain. Like
you know, you see people, I always always looked at
why successful, you know, coaches were successful and if you
ever paid attention to what they did, they knew who
the grounds keepers were, They knew who the trainers were
(27:10):
on a first name basis. They knew everybody who impacted
that program, from the smallest detail to the biggest one,
to the smallest role to the biggest one. They knew
who they all were man. And there was a respect
factor there. And there was a teamwork factor there. And
to me, I don't know what he Johnson didn't work
(27:33):
for him or play on his team, but that type
of respect level was totally missing with Dan Snyder. Like
he had his grown ass employees. Right, you're a grown up.
You work in media or relations, or you work in
sales or wherever they is scouting. You had to reference
him as mister Snyder. You could call him Dan, you know,
(27:56):
like everybody talks about the Rooney family and every if
you know about Pittsburgh, and I only know about it.
I never played for. I only know about them as
a fan growing up and having the opportunity to be
around them. Nobody ever called the Rooney's mister Rooney, the
mister Rooney's what y'all call him? Y'all called him by name?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, look, listen, you could call mister Rooney by his
first name, first name, but out of the respect that
you had for him. You called them mister Rooney, and
I said, he listen, they don't have to call. Yeah,
you don't have to call.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And you'd be like, no, man, come on, I'm gonna
call you, mister Rooney.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
And just like you said, even when I was in
New York, Steve or John, Hey, how you doing plex
and the respect, the respect level was all the way
to the top. Just like you said, admen goes down
to the janitors or the people, the people working in
the locker room, the security outside inside the building. Everybody
(28:59):
knew everybody and that is what you call a well
run organization. And for the Jets, I'm gonna take it
back to Jamal Adams. Jamal Adams was one of the
premier safeties coming out of college and LSU, won a
lot of football games and came to the New York
Jets and in twenty nineteen, man, I think he played
(29:23):
three years with the Jets. This man was a two
time first team All Pro. Woke up one morning to say,
my dream of the NFL and coming out here and
losing every Sunday. This is what I dreamed of as
a kid. When I came to the NFL and they
shipped him out to Seattle Seahawks and now he's having
(29:45):
basically having a Hall of Fame career. And I feel
bad for the Garrett Wilsons of the world and Quinn,
who we had on the show last year, because you
can see how frustrated these young men are going out
every weekend compete career and given everything that they have
and they can't even win a ball game. And you
(30:06):
can see it on Garrett Wilson's face every weekend. You
can see it on Q's face, Quinn Williams, because you
know that these guys are out there given everything that
they have so the organization and they it's almost like
they're not even taking it, taking it seriously. Quinn is
the first team All po Garrett, Garrett Wilson's are all
Pro running back and now you're in a situation to
(30:28):
where you own seven. It's like, you say, man, these
young men are wasting prime years at an organization that
they cannot get back due to the fact that the
owner doesn't want to put together a well run organization.
And it's not going to change anytime soon because it
starts at the top and he has to be able
(30:49):
to get some real football people in the building that
they want to turn this organization around.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I just always say, if the idea of what it
is that that you're doing in terms of culture is toxic,
and listen, if you have a toxic way about you,
people are going to tell you. You can't be totally
oblivious to when you create toxic moments because of the
(31:16):
way you respond to things, way you do things you've known,
whether it's your girlfriend, your wife, your brother, your sister,
Like hey, man, like you kind of got some you
got some toxic ways about you. Man, if you're the
leader of a company and you have toxic ways, you
have got to remove yourself from the scenario and allow
(31:37):
for the healing people, the respectable people, the people that
people trust. You got to put them in position to
believe and to buy in because all those people you
talked about, from security to trainers and stuff like that.
If you're looking at this as I'm doing my job,
I'm go home versus you take own ownership over it.
(32:00):
Like I was supposed to go home an hour ago.
But I'm going to make sure that the job that
I'm doing is done to the highest ability and done
finished and finished. Guys want to be there, guys want
to be a part of it. They take ownership over,
say my team, not this team. It's they say my
team not I'm ready to get up out of here.
(32:22):
I want to be here right when you create, when
you don't allow for those those environments and people that
go through it can can speak to it and testify
to it because they've experienced it. Like going through a
football season with a toxic owner is crazy hard.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Experienced it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
It's crazy hard, man. It's such a challenge to do
it and the only people who realize how hard it
is are all the people that work in the building.
And every once in a while there'll be a few
like you know, he had an infatuation and a love
for a few players. I'll keep them nameless, Clinton, Sean Santana,
Miami guys. I keep them nameless, though I want say
(33:00):
anybody out loud, but he had an infatuation with Miami players.
He just wasn't. He was only cool with who he
was cool with, and then he was only cool until
a certain point, certain degree. So it is what it is. Man.
He handled this a certain type of way. It wasn't
you know, wasn't conducive to winning and.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
When you talk about all the people working in the
building of man, piece of my man Jose, who is
still to this day walking around the Giant room, the
Giants locker room, and he's heavily respected. So peace to
my man Jose, the little Yeah Jose.
Speaker 2 (33:32):

Low and Crawl too. Let's get an update from my guy,

seem to find him in the passing game last week,
but now he's out this week against your Giants and
Lamar Jackson. He's out again for Baltimore's game this weekend.
(39:51):
How how impactful? Like you know, Michael Pennis being out?
Kirk Cousins gets the opportunity is this good for Penis,
is good for Cousins? Is good for Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Eagles? You know, just touch on how you feel about it.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
I mean Atlanta Falcons are still basically, uh, you know,
two games out of first place, you know, in the
in the uh NFC South, behind him Bay Buccaneers, who
you know. Uh until last week back, everybody was saying
that Baker Mayfield was the you know, basically the mid
season MVP.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
But but I'm not.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
I'm not worried about the Falcons moving forward to or.
They play the Miami Dolphins tomorrow and everybody knows that
the Miami Dolphins are a complete disarray, that one is
at at one and six. So uh, they they played
the Miami Dolphins, they go to New England, then they
got Indianapolis. So I think moving forward, you know, if
they can win tomorrow, I believe that Michael Pennix's will
(40:43):
be back next week when the Falcons go to New England.
And you know, you you touched on a J. Brown,
I I saw, I saw he put out a tweet
this week saying that I'm being used but not being used,
and you know, I I I don't understand, you know,
what issue is. You know, everybody wants to go out
(41:03):
and have success and you know, be great, you know
every single Sunday. But Agent Brown, you're winning football games.
There are some guys out there that are having all
the success in the world, having these you know, Pro
Bowl seasons, but their teams, but their teams are not winning.
I mean, the last time I checked, it was all
about winning football game. That's really all I ever carried about.
(41:25):
And I always say one of the one of the
most one of the rare, uh, you know things about
professional sports is, uh, you have to be unselfish if
you want to win. And I attribute that to my
my championship football team, you know seven, because nobody cared
about what they did or what happened on Sunday. Everybody
(41:46):
wanted to win. So take that approach, and I think
that you know, uh, you know, moving forward, you have
a more positive you know, uh energy and outlook about
yourself moving forward with in this offense. I mean, you
you just came up with Super Bowl, you won a
game last week, and you're probably going to win tomorrow
against the two and five New York Giants. Man, So
(42:10):
you know, a lot of things unwrapped up. But I
think moving forward for the Philadelphia Eagles, they're going to
win the NFC East and they're one of my top
two teams in the NFC to get to a championship game.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I'll just touch on Lamar Jackson super quickly. They're playing
against a pretty decent Beers team. I mean, they look
like they're trying to figure it out under Ben Johnson,
and Caleb seems to be playing at an improvement. So
I think this is turning into an opportunity, well not opportunity,
but a situation where it could get pretty pretty interesting
(42:44):
for the seat that coach Harball is sitting on in Baltimore.
Something to watch. It's always talked about with the guy
that's a little bit in Pittsburgh comparison. But hey, let's
see what happens. You got AJ Brown he's out. You
got Penn X he's out. You got Lamar Jackson he's out.
So we'll see what happens. We got our two coming
at you. It's up on game Fox Sports Radio. We'll
(43:06):
be right back

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
