But it's our second annual get together and we love
to talk about all things football when it comes to
training camps, opening and whatnot. But we are going to
have some NBA at the end of the show today,
Steph Curry said something that was pretty shocking, especially when
(02:20):
it comes from Steph Curry and our Lebron watch. This
was developed Plexico by our executive producer Bo Benson on
July fourth of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So this is not even a month old.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
We have devoted it's a I don't know ever evolving
Bo doesn't sound right, but it's a phrase that Bo
came up with that we have used to that we've
used throughout programming. Whenever we talk about Lebron James. It
sounds a little something like this.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I watched twenty twenty five. I watched twenty twenty five.
We watch twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
We're talking Lebron and the Lakers before we got out
of here today.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh, I know how much you love the Lakers, plex Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
They told me they don't worry.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
We're talking about the Lakers and the football season has started.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
What is going on? Hey, they know you guys are
in California.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I get it on the stand, but come on, hey,
watch twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Who make that up? Yeah, that's that's the one and
only Bo Benson.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
So don't worry. We've got that before the end of
the show. There is a Lebron James update. Whether you
like it or not, we're we're going to give it
to you here on up on Game on Fox Sports Radio.
We dove it earlier to some of the problems that's
going on with the NFLPA, we didn't even get into
Super Bowl tickets. Did you hear about this story?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
This week?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
More than one hundred players in the NFL are have
been tabbed as doing wrong when it comes to their
Super Bowl tickets. They will either be fined or suspended
for selling their tickets to suit Super Bowl fifty nine,
the game in New Orleans between the Eagles and Chiefs,
and they are being punished for selling those tickets above
(04:10):
face value, which is a no no in the CBA.
And what was shocking to me, I guess was and
maybe it shouldn't be, but was the scope of it
that there were more than one hundred players that were
able to get their hands on their tickets that's allotted
through the league and through this agreement, that we're selling
them for more than face value?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Is this a common practice in the National Football League?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
How?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
How does the Super Bowl ticket thing work when you're
a player in the league.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Well, I don't know about a common practice, but I
don't know if it's still like this. But when I
was playing, I believe that every playoff received two tickets.
And to be honest, we would if another guy won
on a team wanted tickets, he would either buyd from
you for what to call so the ticket will so
you can just give them away. I would sell that.
(05:02):
I would just sell my tickets to a teammate for
for whatever the cost may be. Or if I had
a friend of mine who who had who had their
team playing in the super Bowl, I would just give
them to them and give it to them. Because the
price for these Super Bowl tickets, to this a regular civilian,
they get up to the two twenty five hundred three
(05:23):
grand mark. Yeah, I would just either give my tickets
away to a friend or a relative if their team
was playing in the Super Bowl, or we would you
would just conduct business with a teammate or maybe even
give them to a teammate, or just sell them for
what the price of the ticket was. But it looks
like the scope of this thing with one hundred players,
you know, I would assume you know this, this kind
(05:44):
of thing has probably been going on for a long
time and it probably just really just caught up with it,
and it's unfortunate that it's one hundred plus players. I
read the article, and I guess they said they're not
going to mention who the players are or coaches or
whatever the case may be. But I think it's just
a you know, a bad look for the for the NFL,
(06:05):
uh and these players. And I would assume that they
know who these players are based off of the number
that they have is more than a hundred players. But
I just think that's something you know, they'll they'll pay
their funds, they'll move on from it. But I think
moving forward, the NFL will have more of a title,
(06:26):
you know, lock on this situation moving forward with as
far as these tickets are concerned.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, there's different ways now that you can track tickets
and where they go and how they go, and maybe
that was part of this process.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
But how would they know how much did they pay
for them? Though?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
That?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, that I don't know. And what I don't know,
plas is this is what I assumed. This is what
I assumed happen, is that the player got two tickets.
A secondary market outlet said, we'll buy them for you.
Let's just say that the tickets for five hundred a piece.
It's an easy number. We'll buy both of those tickets
for you from you for six hundred dollars apiece, and
(07:04):
then the outlet goes and sells them for one thousand
dollars on the market, So just to be able to
get their hands on the tickets to the secondary market.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
That's how I believe it probably happened.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
And so I don't know if they're looking at knowing
what seats the players have, or how it's a signed
and all of a sudden those tickets are meaning so
of course they do you know the thousand dollars or
whatever the case may be, could you know, implicate them
in those matters.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's how that's kind of how I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It would go down, because you're right, if it was somebody,
if you're doing it to another not that you would
want to do it to another teammate, but if there
was a as you said, a college buddy that ended
up playing into the game and he's like, hey, man,
I need I need two tickets. I'll give you whatever
you want from Maybe not everybody's like you and are
just like you can have them. You know, I don't
know how you would find out that you charge that person,
(07:54):
you know, two hundred dollars more.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I have no idea how how that would go, right,
So I like your your you know thought of what happened.
That's probably what happened. They probably sold them to a
third party company. And I would I expect that these
tickets have a certain you know number on them or
code to know exactly what tickets, what player these tickets
(08:19):
went to, and if they ended up online and sell
them for a different number, that would be the only
way that these places get caught, because if you're just
having a you know, hand to hand, you know, uh
deal or conversation with a friend that I don't understand
how or how the NFL would know what the tickets
sold for. Who's gonna who's gonna who in the world,
(08:43):
you know, to walk down to the league and say, hey,
so and so gave me these.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Tickets for commissioner out. Guess what that's yeah, no, not
at all. This has gone on for a long time.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'm not saying in the NFL this was this was
an issue back in the nineteen eighties. NC State's basketball
program got put on probation under Jim Valvano for a
lot of different reasons, and one of those was this
and for the ACC Conference Tournament, the players in the
(09:22):
ACC Tournament, and this was done in a book written
about the NC State program in the nineteen eighties. But
what you had plaques is you had you know, you
would have in a basketball arena, you would have you know,
your fan section, and there would also be within that
section you would have the where the families would be.
(09:42):
Right you would kind of know, hey, these are these
four rows are all player sections, whatever the case may be.
And the NC State team was predominantly black, and there
were just a bunch of white guys sitting in these
So that's how they they like, they knew that they
were like, wait a sec, where are these tickets going?
There was a lot going wrong with NC State at
that time, with the basketball program. But that was one
(10:04):
of the things that the NCAA, you know, it kind
of cracked down on, is then the ACC tournament.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
They knew that the tickets were being sold when they
shouldn't have been sold to the people that they were
ended up being sold to, and for more money than
what they did. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
They also did this with apparel and other things. But
this has been going on in a lot of different
sports for forty years.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
But it's it's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And boy even brought up the point he's like this
bo am I right in saying that. Your thought was
like why does everybody need to make a buck? Is
that kind of your feelings on this?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Yeah, it just feels like part of our culture now
is just so dedicated to everyone that everyone and everybody
like everything just making a quick dollar on something Like
you can't walk into a target and buy trading cards
anymore because everybody wants to flip them. You can't buy
Pokemon cards, you can't buy the return on investments there
there their financial vehicles, like everything is being speculated on,
(11:00):
gambled on all of those. Yeah, it's crazy. I had
to enter a lottery to buy concert tickets in two
weeks for a show at the Rose Bowl, Like it's
just dumb.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And let me, Yes, you entered the lottery.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Well yeah, my wife told me I.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Had my choice.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yes, yes, you Alden told you to do it, so
you had to get it done.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
What was it like Super Bowl forty two for you
ticket wise?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Because that's the hottest ticket you know in the game, like,
I mean, you're in the game, you've got your allotment.
But I'm sure everybody reached out. I mean, undefeated Patriots,
you guys are in there. Do you remember what that
was like?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
It was very It was a very stressful time. It
was very stressful because, you know what, you didn't want
to forget anybody, you know, like for along your journey
that helped you, you know, get to where you were
at that pony in life. And obviously it's the biggest,
you know, event in all of sports. And you know,
(12:06):
the first thing I did was I took care of
my you know, my entire family. You know, my mom's
brothers and sisters, my aunts and uncles and cousins, and
you know, my my my three or four childhood friends,
my high school coach, and my little league coach. And
it just got to a point to where, you know,
you know what, everybody can't go. Sure, you know, I
(12:28):
got up to like twenty seven or twenty eight tickets,
and all of those tickets at your mind, you know,
they they come out of your pocket. You know, the team, well,
nobody's not playing for them. And then you know, I
got everybody's flight there and back, and it was he
had to get them hotel rooms and it was like
(12:49):
a disaster. I just kind of just backed away from
it after the about the first week and I was like,
you know what'll y'all get together, y'all handless, y'all take
care of this. I have to get ready for this game.
But the amount of people that come out of the
woodworks and are basically willing to play, pay for the
tickets and give you anything that that they can to
(13:11):
help you get to watch the super Bowl in person
is h It was overwhelming, but it is kind of
a stressful time because you know, I wanted to take
care of my family and my friends, and obviously it
was a special moment for you know, myself and everybody
else included. But it is it can it can be
a little bit stressful if you if you let it,
(13:32):
you know, get out of hand, it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Ends up being this ultimate reward.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
And I think one of the interesting things is Eagles
fans travel well, Kansas City fans travel well.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And it was at a locale that wasn't so far away.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It wasn't like East Coast team playing a West Coast
team or playing on the on the West Coast for
Super Bowl fifty nine with the Eagles and Chiefs in
New Orleans, so you had and in New Orleans is
a great place to go, like it absolutely is. So
you had and you had two really strong fan bases
in your situation plaques like you're in the end. It's
(14:07):
it's a it's like a triple quadruple bonus because you
guys win, But it's almost like it you were a
bit of a victim of circumstance because of your opponent.
Like you would love to bring twenty seven to twenty
eight people to a Super Bowl if you could, and
there's obviously going to be you know, hotel stuff and
logistics and flights. But when you have the undefeated Patriots
(14:29):
going for history like that just jacks everything else up
to no fault of your own. You're just on the
other side of it. But you kind of got to
deal with it, like there's that's even added to it.
And fortunately for you guys, you won. But it wasn't like,
you know, it wasn't like the Tennessee Titans were just
coming in, you know, at you know, thirteen and three,
and you're just playing like a normal super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Your Super Bowl is anything but normal. I mean, it
was a game that everybody wanted to see. Obviously at
that time, it was probably the biggest Super Bowl to date.
And to be honest with you, I don't even know
or remember, I don't even know the price of the
tickets that I bought. It was just, you know, trying
to get everybody into, trying to get everybody into the venue.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Hear anybody complaining about where the seats are. It's just
the damn Super Bowl. Sit down, enjoy it, Hoover down
a couple glizzies, and just enjoy the show. So that's
what I did. I had no idea how much the
tickets cost. They just kind of just sent me the bill.
Everybody was in the building, and obviously the end result,
(15:31):
I mean, we partly like it was nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, and you have no idea how accurate your statement is,
because they kind of had a snap foo with our
game credentials at Fox Sports Radio, we didn't have a seat.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We could get in the stadium, but we didn't have
a seat, so me.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
And my broadcast partner Eddie Garcia at the time, we
stood for the entire game and the two hours prior
because we didn't have a seat, so we were just chilling,
we were on our feet, but we ended up just
you know, watching the game from basically one of the
standing room only spots in the stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
But because it was standing room only, it was yeah,
it was, it was. It was a very exciting game
to stand and watch. So yeah, you know, yes.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yes it yeah, And you know the final point on
this and I get this now, bo, you'll get this
as a parent to a young child.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I remember on the Jason Kelcey Amazon documentary because this
was about Super Bowl fifty seven and Jason Kelsey's talking
to his wife and they're talking about Super Bowl tickets
and how many you know that they should buy or
that they should get, and they're going over the price,
you know, and they have a couple of kids, but
they have a you know, a couple of young daughters.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yes and yeah, and and Kylie Kelsey's like, she's not
going to watch the game. I'm not going to spend
like even though like this is your you know, like
Jason Kelcey playing in the Super Bowl could be his
last game ever, She's like, we're not going to spend
four grand for a kid that is no interest in
watching the game, you know, like, and those are like
the decisions like you want to you want to feel
(17:06):
like you can go, you know, all out, like no,
no expense is spared in all of this. But her
point was very very valid. I've got a four year
old that I'm like, Okay, when can I take him
to a game that he's not going to be completely
disinterested and actually kind of knows what's going on and
I can tell you what it's not at four years.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Old, like it's just not happening just yet.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
So there's a lot of decisions in what is likely
the biggest moment of your life for one of the
biggest moments that you have to make, and sometimes you
have to make those smart decisions like Kylie Kelsey did.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So all right, he's Mecsco Burros. I'm Dan Byer.

Are you ready for Plaques of life Flexico Burus, Yes,
sir fo. All right, let's let's do it. Let's fire
this up. This is the deal that's taking back right now.
So here we go. We got the Plaques of life here.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What I did is I ended up taking I took
some dear Abby questions, and I figured, let's take these
scenarios from dear Abby and see how Plexico Buris would
handle them. All right, okay, here we go, Dear Plaux,
I'm a forty seven year old male who is twenty.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Days from being divorced. For the past three months, I've
been dating a woman I've known for twenty six years.
We love each other and plan to be married.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
We have great times when we are together, but struggle
on the phone or with texting. I'm not sure why
this is, but she says it's because we need to
be together all the time. All right, Let's see one
another on weekends. She says she has a tough time
and cries a lot when I'm not around. My question
is this normal? If I don't see her for two days?
(22:28):
She guesses that she missed me so much, whereas I
miss her, It's not a big deal to me. We
aren't married now, so I'm not in that frame of
mind until we are. What can we do? This was
sent to Dear Abbey navigating Love in Florida. Is who
signed it? Dear plaques? Yeah, on the plaques of life?
What should this guy do? Okay, from what I understand,
(22:50):
he's the older guy he said he was. He's known
this young lady's forty seven. He's known this young lady
for twenty six years.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
So I would think that you know, she doesn't that
they don't need to see each other as often as
much as he thinks, because they've known each other for
so long. And also it's also a good thing when
you know what day you're going to be divorced. On,
which is in twenty days, so that's also that's also.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
A great thing.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
But I think moving on when you when you get
to forty seven, I'll be forty eight in a couple
of weeks, you really don't do a lot of talking
on the phone because that's just how people, you know,
move these days. Texting maybe, but talking on the phone,
you know, for thirty forty minutes. Those things really don't
(23:41):
happen too much this at this day and age.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I agree. I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I think I think he's I think this woman's a
little too clinging.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I think he's gonna need that. I was going to
say the same thing. Yeah, I kind of take take
a step back. You know, people are different. You think
you know someone for twenty six years and there, you know,
in a situation and they're not the same. All right,
let's try this one. All right.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Oh, this didn't go to deer Abbey. This just went
to me deer Plaques, I mean, my early seventies and
just retired. However, people keep talking to me about coming
back to coaching football. I've reached the highest of heights
in the college game, but I feel I may have
left the pro game a little too early, signed Miss
(24:25):
Terry's Love Bug in Tuscaloosa. What advice would you give
to this person Plaques in the Plaques of Life.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, ye're seventy years old, obviously, if you've been around
the football, the game of football for a very long time.
For what, it sounds like he's been to the you know,
the pinnacle of the sport at the college level.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Sounds like maybe I've been there and East Lansing and
Baton Rouge and Tuscaloosa and all those places.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
But depending if the if he or she is single
or married. If you're single, maybe ye at seventy years old,
to get in a little ball, a little sparking your life.
You go back to coaching. But if you have, you know,
a wife at home. He you're seventy years old, I
would assume that the spouse would tell you that, you
(25:11):
know what, it's time for you to hang it up
and focus on me a little more.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh, there you go, all right, Miss Terry's Lovebug and Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Hopefully that advice will help you. How about this one?
This one was sent to Dear Abby, Dear Plaques. After
six years of working closely together, I've developed a raging
crush on my co worker and project partner. Let's call
this person Brett. It's a full on, face flushing, daydreaming
(25:38):
kind of situation, and it's super annoying. I know this
crush is inappropriate and unreciprocated, and I have no intention
of acting on it. We are both married and I
would like to stay that way. My strategy has been
to spend less time together and work on not being
a moron. Change my schedule so we don't overlap as often.
(26:03):
The issue now is that I've heard from a different
co worker that Brett thinks I'm mad at him because
he's done something wrong, which is not the case. I
don't want to keep hurting his feelings, but there's no
way I'm going to tell him what's going on besides
quitting or going on leave until I can get myself
under control.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What can I do? This was sent strictly business in
the South. Wow. Yes, So she is married, yep, and
it's got a crush on a co worker who's also married, Right,
what do you do?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Well, she's in a tough situation. That's the only way
I can really put it. I think she just has
to go up to her co working and just be honest.
So you know what, I know, we're both married, but
I have a crush on you, and I guess they
can just kind of just take it from there. I've
seen stranger things happen, but working together in the workplace,
(27:00):
that's just, you know, a tough situation for them to
be in. Obviously they have to maintain a professionalism about
their job. But at the same time, you know what,
and she said, it's a full face on crush. That
means every time this young lady lays eyes on this man,
she you know, has written all over her face.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
She can't.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You can't hide your feelings. So at some point in
time she's going to have to switch her schedule back
to when he is working and just be honest with
him and get it off the table and get it
off her chest.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I think she needs a cold shower, That's what I'm
That's what I'm thinking. Strictly, business in the South needs
to cool down. You know what I love about this letter.
It's like, well, I'm going to stay married and I'm
not quitting my job. How do I get out of this? Well,
good luck, lady, good luck all right? Final one, dear plaques.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I'm used to being the star on my team, but
this past winter, the team I was on brought in
a new star. So now I'm not sure how long
I want to be on this team. I kind of
made it known that I want out, but also don't
want to give away.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Any of the fifty two million dollars that they owe me.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I'm probably going home next offseason, but something tells me
maybe I should leave this place and go home.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Now what should I do? Signed Balding in LA.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
What is what is the answer to this dilemma?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
You know what, I'm gonna go back to my coach,
Kyleward days and get in the training camp. He would
always say, know what, don't get caught up into counting
numbers because you never know what's going to happen on
a day to day basis. You don't have to be
a star to be a part of a team just
because they bought somebody better than you. Life and sports
(28:52):
is always about competition. If you don't want to go
out there and fight with your teammates because they put
somebody in front of you, I think the best thing
for you to do is to leave the team. And
he's already put it out there that he doesn't want
to play on his team unless he is the star.
There's always going to be somebody better than you. If
(29:13):
you don't want to be a part of the team
because somebody is better than you, then maybe it's time
for you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Maybe you need to.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Reevaluate yourself and reevaluate so from a professional and athletics standpoint,
and if you want to go be the best player
on another team, you're it sounds like you're going to
play for a team that is not as good as
your current one.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You will be the star, but you won't win any games.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
There is the advice from Plexico Burns here on the
plaques of life well done.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
All right, did you like that role? Did you like it?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Roll as the advice giver? And so many different, wide
ranging topics.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, you know, I'm well versed out here in this world.
I know you are.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
You know a lot of things that I've seen an
experience on a day to day basin in my tender
forty seven years of living.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So you know, I've been and scene through a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
So I have a lot of gyms that are hitting
outside of the realm of sports. So it's a you know, well,
maybe a segment that we can keep going moving forward
and we'll just switch it a raum. Yeah, the guys
and everybody when they get back. But I really enjoyed it.
Tell it, Tell TJ and LeVar. Yeah, it's a new
day here in the B block. We'll be doing a
(30:25):
little different fellas. All right, let's go to the news desk.
Guys at Gloyd Crodis here.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Hopefully Nick Taban and Lebron James were listening because maybe
they could take some of Flax's advice and all of that.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Isaac, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Yeah, real job disguising our identity with that user name there, Lebron,
have no idea you were talking about. Guys, have got
one Major League Baseball game going on right now. The
Philly is a one nothing lead over the Yankees and
the top of the second inning at Yankee Stadium on
an RBI single by JP real Muto. But the big
story is off the field. Yankee star Aaron Judge not
(30:57):
in the lineup because of an elbow issue.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Yank.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
He's manager, Aaron Boone, provided the details prior to the game.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Just last night was really dealing with and couldn't really
throw well from the outfield, so he got imaging today,
so we'll kind of wait on that. It was more
about throwing last night, like he couldn't really get the
ball in very well, So want to him down and
get the imaging, get her hands around just what exactly
we're dealing with.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
In the NFL, New York Judts quarterback Justin Fields took
part in individual and seven on seven drills today, two
days after he sustained a dislocated toe on his right foot.
The Miami Dolphins reportedly signing defensive back of Mike Hilton.
Earlier today, the Dolphins signed cornerback Jack Jones after cornerback
Already Burns towards ACL in practice earlier this week. Finally,
(31:42):
we have a Dan Bayer update with a twist at
Justin Inceinsey riding in and I quote, you nailed the
male enhancement spot, Dan unquote. However, the twist is in
this case Justin and since he spelled mail.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
M A I L.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
Apparently there's some confusion along the way somehow.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm gonna blame voice to text probably on that one. Right, Okay,
that makes sense. Supposed to know that we were talking
about blue shoo.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Yes, because there's a big difference in those spellings back
to you.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yes it is, that's what she said. No, I don't
even know if that fits. I have no idea. He's
Isaac Glowing Crowd. Get him up at Isaac gloagrod You
can find me at Dan Byer on Fox Flexico Buris
is here, find him on x at Plexico Buris.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Isaac had the note about Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I don't know if you caught this, plex but Adam
Schefter the Jets fans dirty the other day because Fields
when Fields with that with his injury, He tweeted, Justin
Fields has left the field with an apparent lower left
leg injury so wide open where every Jets fan felt
(33:00):
that he ruptured his achilles like Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
It ends up being a dislocated toe.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
That wasn't the big tr But Adam Schefter threw all
of the Gang Green and all of the Jets fans
into a tizzy because of his his referencing of the
Justin Fields injury.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
You know, I expect those kind of things from Adam.
You know, he's a Michigan guy, so they tend to
do things like that. By the way, if you dissocated
a toe I have never dislocated a toe, but a
toe is very painful to play through it. I'm telling
you it has to It can't be as big toe
because if you dislocated a big toe, he'll be in
(33:39):
a walking boot and he would not be participating. So
it's probably one of the four baby toes. Yeah, you
really don't need a lot to go out and play quarterback,
So obviously it's not a big toe because if.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
You have a if you ever had any kind.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Of big toe injury, I mean it's tough to play
with it really is.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Is Isaac back on the practice field today doing stuff?
Is on the practice field yesterday and dressed, which I
think surprised a lot of people that he would be
out a day after.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
But he is in. The Jets are hoping for a
different outcome than from what they've had in the previous
couple of seasons. He is Plexico Burras. I'm Dan Byer.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
This is up on Game here on Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up next, we wrap up the show with some
interesting comments from one Stephen Curry who says NBA players
are actually underpaid. We'll tell you his reasoning next on
Fox Sports Radio. It's up on game on Fox Sports Radio.
He's Plexico Burro's the Super Bowl champ. I'm Dan Byer

Lebron James Lakers saga where no news is always news, plax,
Did you hear what Steph Curry had to say when
talking about salaries in the NBA? This was This is
pretty surprising, especially because when Steph Curry talks a lot
(35:24):
of times, he maybe.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Doesn't people listen.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yeah, yeah, it may not be on the deepest of conversations.
Maybe if he's talking hoops in threes he'll go into detail.
But now we're talking about the business side of basketball.
And as he said, when Steph speaks, people listen. And
Steph spoke with Speedy Mormon on Complex and ended up
having this exchange about the salaries of current NBA players.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Here's Steph Curry.
Speaker 10 (35:52):
The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're
playing is a part why I would say, yes, we
are underpaid, because you want to be able to participate
in that in that rise. I know we're blessed to,
you know, be in a position where we're playing basketball
for a living and these are the type of checks
that people are earning. And I think it's all deserved
because it's a special commodity. It's a special industry that
(36:16):
probably won't go anywhere because that entertainment value is there.
But yeah, I feel like, hopefully sooner than later, those
rules change a little bit so that players can participate
more in the upside of team equity, the league evaluations
and all that type stuff, just because we I think
we deserve.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yeah, And step Steph usually doesn't talk with an agenda,
and I don't think that.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
I don't think that was an agenda.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
The question was posed our NBA players actually underpaid on
the heels of Shay Gildish, Alexander and Devin Booker getting
these contracts, it'll pay them seventy million dollars plus a season.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Steph's going to make sixty million dollars a season.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Are you on track with with Steph saying that they're
they're underpaid because of their inability to get any equity
into the teams that they're most likely playing for.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Unfortunately for Steph Curry, I understand them listening to everything
he's saying, but it's one of those things that I
don't think that will happen in either the NBA or NFL.
I can see what stuff's coming from because he has
basically turned this whole entire franchise around to a like
(37:28):
a global franchise, so everybody recognizes and those who exactly
the Golden State Warriors are. I don't know the price
that they were purchased for back in two thousand, but
I believe they were about eight billion dollars eight point
eight billion dollars or something right now. And for him
to everything that he's brought to this team, it's basically
(37:49):
been off the back, off and off of his shoulders
because he's bought them four World championships and he has
basically made them a household franchise worldwide. But for players
to come into the league, I don't believe the owners
would never allow the players while they are playing for
their team that they own, are going to allow the players.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
To earn a salary and to have.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Equity within the team that they are currently playing for.
It's gonna be a tough road ahead, you know, I've
seen obviously, you know, some of these guys get involved
with different teams. I believe Jannis is a part of
the Milwaukee Brewers now, but not the current team that
they are playing for, especially from an equity standpoint, because
(38:35):
now they are basically, you know, forking over some of
their ownership to the player who is currently paying for them,
playing for them and being paid a salary. It's gonna
be a tough road ahead. Because we saw this with
Caleb wins when he came into the league this year.
He tried to get some equity you know, within the
Chicago bands with him to being a number one pick.
(38:55):
It was something that we had never seen before and
that didn't happen with him. It may be something that
you know, you know, happens years later on down the road.
Buff for right now. I just don't see teams allowing that.
You just players that have.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Equity within the team while they're playing.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
There's the tricky part of it because we've seen, as
you said, Giannis is is a member of the Brewers,
but you know of that ownership group. But it's not
like Christian Yelich owns a share of the Brewers. What
I think is the tricky part with the NBA is
no owner is going to want to give up a
And when I say substantial, I mean it in the
(39:34):
terms of the equity that you would give a minority partner,
you know, someone We've seen other athletes dive into other
sports franchises that cross over, but I don't think that
they would want to be, say how the hostage in
a negotiation saying well, guess what, I'm going to need
(39:55):
one percent of the organization, you know for me to
sign the contract. I think that's the tricky part of it.
We can see it on the minimal aspect of another team.
You know, if Giannis pays five million dollars to get
a share of the Brewers, it's kind of a drop
in the bucket of ownership. But still you've got some
sort of ownership. I think NBA owners would be worried
(40:17):
that in negotiations players would want to take way much
more equity than just a nice, small, little friendly share
that's a different athlete coming over from a different sport
would take, or from any other business venture, you know,
those those those minority shares that are sometimes sold by
teams are very very small, but you just you want
that in And I think that the owners probably fear
(40:39):
that players would take advantage of it and want more
of their equity.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Yeah, but I think Steph Curry is in a different
category when we're talking about fair of you know, of
you know, a team like Lebron, but just you can't
have a guy that's sitting on a bench, you know,
he's making you know, Averas Sally of Non Mianaalis and
he's asked equity in the basket ball team, you know
those things.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Yeah, it can't happen. I kind of think that.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
It's going to snowball into something bigger if and when
this thing the start. But you can you can argue
that a Lebron or Steph Curry or Jannis, these guys
you know, have the right to ask for equity within
the organization being that everything that they have bought to
the ownership group.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
All right, let's end up on game with I watched five,
I watched twenty twenty five. Pall Benson. What's the latest
on Lebron James this offseason.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
Yeah, Marcus Smart was doing an interview with I believe
the other network spoke about how heavily long Luka Doncic
recruited him to come to the Lakers. But he did
mention that he has not yet spoken to Lebron James,
which I think makes him like the fifth new Laker
that said they haven't yet talked to Lebron.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Oh, boy, blax, that's kind of tough that that is.
It wasn't a Greece or Italy or Spain or something
like that recently. I thought he was.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Somewhere in Europe. Maybe that's why that's why they get
ahold of them.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
This is all so.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Oh man, well Bo told me how much you love
talking Lakers and and how much you love that purple
and gold, and so we had to get our watch
update before we wrapped up the show. It's been a
lot of fun. Plaques appreciate it. I love being here,
especially at the started training camp. Had a lot of fun,
great show man. Thanks for coming on man, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
I love doing it. Our second annual meeting is over. TJ.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Third Law draw stre with LaVar airy Ten as a
defensive guy.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
TJ Houshman Zana.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm just bringing the viewers into how grown men in
the locker room, like I don't play with some dude that.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
You disrespect them anyway, it didn't matter who it was
they was putting hands on you and Blaxico Burrows, they
are the same person, the same exact quarterback.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It's a show with three of the best to ever
do it on and off the field. And now live
from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Here's Super Bowl champion
Blaxico burres Man sitting in for the guys.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Here's Dan Fire. Welcome in training camp, said pull Forth
in the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We are giving a step for the twenty twenty five
NFL season. If I'm Fleas on ax Plex Scobors, you
can find me at Dan Meyer on Fox also Flex.
We're gonna put you up. We're not gonna put you
in the hot seat in twenty minutes, but we're gonna
We're gonna see what advice you would give to some
problems that people may be having in their lives in
(01:20):
the world. We want you, super Bowl Champion, more than
a decade experience in the NFL, to solve some of
some some of life's problems in a little advice segment
that we're gonna call the Plaques of Life.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Okay, I like we're gonna write it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, We're gonna read you some scenarios, some letters that
were sent in and get your advice on how to
handle of these things. That comes up in about twenty
minutes or so. We are hanging out at Fox Sports
Radio with our executive producer Bo Benson, Technical producer Chrisopherfett,
and Isaac Low and Cron They are all here, No TJ,
no LeVar today. Don't worry, They're gonna be back next week.
(01:59):
I know people are kind of freaking out hearing my voice. Hey,
just hang with us. We're having a great time. Guys
will be back next week and it's like nothing ever happened.
But it's our second annual get together and we love
to talk about all things football when it comes to
training camps, opening and whatnot. But we are going to
have some NBA at the end of the show today,
Steph Curry said something that was pretty shocking, especially when
(02:20):
it comes from Steph Curry and our Lebron watch. This
was developed Plexico by our executive producer Bo Benson on
July fourth of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So this is not even a month old.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
We have devoted it's a I don't know ever evolving
Bo doesn't sound right, but it's a phrase that Bo
came up with that we have used to that we've
used throughout programming. Whenever we talk about Lebron James. It
sounds a little something like this.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I watched twenty twenty five. I watched twenty twenty five.
We watch twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
We're talking Lebron and the Lakers before we got out
of here today.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh, I know how much you love the Lakers, plex Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
They told me they don't worry.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
We're talking about the Lakers and the football season has started.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
What is going on? Hey, they know you guys are
in California.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I get it on the stand, but come on, hey,
watch twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Who make that up? Yeah, that's that's the one and
only Bo Benson.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
So don't worry. We've got that before the end of
the show. There is a Lebron James update. Whether you
like it or not, we're we're going to give it
to you here on up on Game on Fox Sports Radio.
We dove it earlier to some of the problems that's
going on with the NFLPA, we didn't even get into
Super Bowl tickets. Did you hear about this story?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
This week?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
More than one hundred players in the NFL are have
been tabbed as doing wrong when it comes to their
Super Bowl tickets. They will either be fined or suspended
for selling their tickets to suit Super Bowl fifty nine,
the game in New Orleans between the Eagles and Chiefs,
and they are being punished for selling those tickets above
(04:10):
face value, which is a no no in the CBA.
And what was shocking to me, I guess was and
maybe it shouldn't be, but was the scope of it
that there were more than one hundred players that were
able to get their hands on their tickets that's allotted
through the league and through this agreement, that we're selling
them for more than face value?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Is this a common practice in the National Football League?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
How?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
How does the Super Bowl ticket thing work when you're
a player in the league.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Well, I don't know about a common practice, but I
don't know if it's still like this. But when I
was playing, I believe that every playoff received two tickets.
And to be honest, we would if another guy won
on a team wanted tickets, he would either buyd from
you for what to call so the ticket will so
you can just give them away. I would sell that.
(05:02):
I would just sell my tickets to a teammate for
for whatever the cost may be. Or if I had
a friend of mine who who had who had their
team playing in the super Bowl, I would just give
them to them and give it to them. Because the
price for these Super Bowl tickets, to this a regular civilian,
they get up to the two twenty five hundred three
(05:23):
grand mark. Yeah, I would just either give my tickets
away to a friend or a relative if their team
was playing in the Super Bowl, or we would you
would just conduct business with a teammate or maybe even
give them to a teammate, or just sell them for
what the price of the ticket was. But it looks
like the scope of this thing with one hundred players,
you know, I would assume you know this, this kind
(05:44):
of thing has probably been going on for a long
time and it probably just really just caught up with it,
and it's unfortunate that it's one hundred plus players. I
read the article, and I guess they said they're not
going to mention who the players are or coaches or
whatever the case may be. But I think it's just
a you know, a bad look for the for the NFL,
(06:05):
uh and these players. And I would assume that they
know who these players are based off of the number
that they have is more than a hundred players. But
I just think that's something you know, they'll they'll pay
their funds, they'll move on from it. But I think
moving forward, the NFL will have more of a title,
(06:26):
you know, lock on this situation moving forward with as
far as these tickets are concerned.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, there's different ways now that you can track tickets
and where they go and how they go, and maybe
that was part of this process.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
But how would they know how much did they pay
for them? Though?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
That?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, that I don't know. And what I don't know,
plas is this is what I assumed. This is what
I assumed happen, is that the player got two tickets.
A secondary market outlet said, we'll buy them for you.
Let's just say that the tickets for five hundred a piece.
It's an easy number. We'll buy both of those tickets
for you from you for six hundred dollars apiece, and
(07:04):
then the outlet goes and sells them for one thousand
dollars on the market, So just to be able to
get their hands on the tickets to the secondary market.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
That's how I believe it probably happened.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
And so I don't know if they're looking at knowing
what seats the players have, or how it's a signed
and all of a sudden those tickets are meaning so
of course they do you know the thousand dollars or
whatever the case may be, could you know, implicate them
in those matters.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's how that's kind of how I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It would go down, because you're right, if it was somebody,
if you're doing it to another not that you would
want to do it to another teammate, but if there
was a as you said, a college buddy that ended
up playing into the game and he's like, hey, man,
I need I need two tickets. I'll give you whatever
you want from Maybe not everybody's like you and are
just like you can have them. You know, I don't
know how you would find out that you charge that person,
(07:54):
you know, two hundred dollars more.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I have no idea how how that would go, right,
So I like your your you know thought of what happened.
That's probably what happened. They probably sold them to a
third party company. And I would I expect that these
tickets have a certain you know number on them or
code to know exactly what tickets, what player these tickets
(08:19):
went to, and if they ended up online and sell
them for a different number, that would be the only
way that these places get caught, because if you're just
having a you know, hand to hand, you know, uh
deal or conversation with a friend that I don't understand
how or how the NFL would know what the tickets
sold for. Who's gonna who's gonna who in the world,
(08:43):
you know, to walk down to the league and say, hey,
so and so gave me these.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Tickets for commissioner out. Guess what that's yeah, no, not
at all. This has gone on for a long time.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'm not saying in the NFL this was this was
an issue back in the nineteen eighties. NC State's basketball
program got put on probation under Jim Valvano for a
lot of different reasons, and one of those was this
and for the ACC Conference Tournament, the players in the
(09:22):
ACC Tournament, and this was done in a book written
about the NC State program in the nineteen eighties. But
what you had plaques is you had you know, you
would have in a basketball arena, you would have you know,
your fan section, and there would also be within that
section you would have the where the families would be.
(09:42):
Right you would kind of know, hey, these are these
four rows are all player sections, whatever the case may be.
And the NC State team was predominantly black, and there
were just a bunch of white guys sitting in these
So that's how they they like, they knew that they
were like, wait a sec, where are these tickets going?
There was a lot going wrong with NC State at
that time, with the basketball program. But that was one
(10:04):
of the things that the NCAA, you know, it kind
of cracked down on, is then the ACC tournament.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
They knew that the tickets were being sold when they
shouldn't have been sold to the people that they were
ended up being sold to, and for more money than
what they did. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
They also did this with apparel and other things. But
this has been going on in a lot of different
sports for forty years.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
But it's it's funny.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
And boy even brought up the point he's like this
bo am I right in saying that. Your thought was
like why does everybody need to make a buck? Is
that kind of your feelings on this?
Speaker 6 (10:36):
Yeah, it just feels like part of our culture now
is just so dedicated to everyone that everyone and everybody
like everything just making a quick dollar on something Like
you can't walk into a target and buy trading cards
anymore because everybody wants to flip them. You can't buy
Pokemon cards, you can't buy the return on investments there
there their financial vehicles, like everything is being speculated on,
(11:00):
gambled on all of those. Yeah, it's crazy. I had
to enter a lottery to buy concert tickets in two
weeks for a show at the Rose Bowl, Like it's
just dumb.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And let me, Yes, you entered the lottery.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Well yeah, my wife told me I.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Had my choice.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yes, yes, you Alden told you to do it, so
you had to get it done.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
What was it like Super Bowl forty two for you
ticket wise?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Because that's the hottest ticket you know in the game, like,
I mean, you're in the game, you've got your allotment.
But I'm sure everybody reached out. I mean, undefeated Patriots,
you guys are in there. Do you remember what that
was like?
Speaker 4 (11:45):
It was very It was a very stressful time. It
was very stressful because, you know what, you didn't want
to forget anybody, you know, like for along your journey
that helped you, you know, get to where you were
at that pony in life. And obviously it's the biggest,
you know, event in all of sports. And you know,
(12:06):
the first thing I did was I took care of
my you know, my entire family. You know, my mom's
brothers and sisters, my aunts and uncles and cousins, and
you know, my my my three or four childhood friends,
my high school coach, and my little league coach. And
it just got to a point to where, you know,
you know what, everybody can't go. Sure, you know, I
(12:28):
got up to like twenty seven or twenty eight tickets,
and all of those tickets at your mind, you know,
they they come out of your pocket. You know, the team, well,
nobody's not playing for them. And then you know, I
got everybody's flight there and back, and it was he
had to get them hotel rooms and it was like
(12:49):
a disaster. I just kind of just backed away from
it after the about the first week and I was like,
you know what'll y'all get together, y'all handless, y'all take
care of this. I have to get ready for this game.
But the amount of people that come out of the
woodworks and are basically willing to play, pay for the
tickets and give you anything that that they can to
(13:11):
help you get to watch the super Bowl in person
is h It was overwhelming, but it is kind of
a stressful time because you know, I wanted to take
care of my family and my friends, and obviously it
was a special moment for you know, myself and everybody
else included. But it is it can it can be
a little bit stressful if you if you let it,
(13:32):
you know, get out of hand, it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Ends up being this ultimate reward.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
And I think one of the interesting things is Eagles
fans travel well, Kansas City fans travel well.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And it was at a locale that wasn't so far away.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It wasn't like East Coast team playing a West Coast
team or playing on the on the West Coast for
Super Bowl fifty nine with the Eagles and Chiefs in
New Orleans, so you had and in New Orleans is
a great place to go, like it absolutely is. So
you had and you had two really strong fan bases
in your situation plaques like you're in the end. It's
(14:07):
it's a it's like a triple quadruple bonus because you
guys win, But it's almost like it you were a
bit of a victim of circumstance because of your opponent.
Like you would love to bring twenty seven to twenty
eight people to a Super Bowl if you could, and
there's obviously going to be you know, hotel stuff and
logistics and flights. But when you have the undefeated Patriots
(14:29):
going for history like that just jacks everything else up
to no fault of your own. You're just on the
other side of it. But you kind of got to
deal with it, like there's that's even added to it.
And fortunately for you guys, you won. But it wasn't like,
you know, it wasn't like the Tennessee Titans were just
coming in, you know, at you know, thirteen and three,
and you're just playing like a normal super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Your Super Bowl is anything but normal. I mean, it
was a game that everybody wanted to see. Obviously at
that time, it was probably the biggest Super Bowl to date.
And to be honest with you, I don't even know
or remember, I don't even know the price of the
tickets that I bought. It was just, you know, trying
to get everybody into, trying to get everybody into the venue.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Hear anybody complaining about where the seats are. It's just
the damn Super Bowl. Sit down, enjoy it, Hoover down
a couple glizzies, and just enjoy the show. So that's
what I did. I had no idea how much the
tickets cost. They just kind of just sent me the bill.
Everybody was in the building, and obviously the end result,
(15:31):
I mean, we partly like it was nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, and you have no idea how accurate your statement is,
because they kind of had a snap foo with our
game credentials at Fox Sports Radio, we didn't have a seat.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We could get in the stadium, but we didn't have
a seat, so me.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
And my broadcast partner Eddie Garcia at the time, we
stood for the entire game and the two hours prior
because we didn't have a seat, so we were just chilling,
we were on our feet, but we ended up just
you know, watching the game from basically one of the
standing room only spots in the stadium.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
But because it was standing room only, it was yeah,
it was, it was. It was a very exciting game
to stand and watch. So yeah, you know, yes.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yes it yeah, And you know the final point on
this and I get this now, bo, you'll get this
as a parent to a young child.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I remember on the Jason Kelcey Amazon documentary because this
was about Super Bowl fifty seven and Jason Kelsey's talking
to his wife and they're talking about Super Bowl tickets
and how many you know that they should buy or
that they should get, and they're going over the price,
you know, and they have a couple of kids, but
they have a you know, a couple of young daughters.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yes and yeah, and and Kylie Kelsey's like, she's not
going to watch the game. I'm not going to spend
like even though like this is your you know, like
Jason Kelcey playing in the Super Bowl could be his
last game ever, She's like, we're not going to spend
four grand for a kid that is no interest in
watching the game, you know, like, and those are like
the decisions like you want to you want to feel
(17:06):
like you can go, you know, all out, like no,
no expense is spared in all of this. But her
point was very very valid. I've got a four year
old that I'm like, Okay, when can I take him
to a game that he's not going to be completely
disinterested and actually kind of knows what's going on and
I can tell you what it's not at four years.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Old, like it's just not happening just yet.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
So there's a lot of decisions in what is likely
the biggest moment of your life for one of the
biggest moments that you have to make, and sometimes you
have to make those smart decisions like Kylie Kelsey did.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So all right, he's Mecsco Burros. I'm Dan Byer.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Are you ready for Plaques of life Flexico Burus, Yes,
sir fo. All right, let's let's do it. Let's fire
this up. This is the deal that's taking back right now.
So here we go. We got the Plaques of life here.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
What I did is I ended up taking I took
some dear Abby questions, and I figured, let's take these
scenarios from dear Abby and see how Plexico Buris would
handle them. All right, okay, here we go, Dear Plaux,
I'm a forty seven year old male who is twenty.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Days from being divorced. For the past three months, I've
been dating a woman I've known for twenty six years.
We love each other and plan to be married.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
We have great times when we are together, but struggle
on the phone or with texting. I'm not sure why
this is, but she says it's because we need to
be together all the time. All right, Let's see one
another on weekends. She says she has a tough time
and cries a lot when I'm not around. My question
is this normal? If I don't see her for two days?
(22:28):
She guesses that she missed me so much, whereas I
miss her, It's not a big deal to me. We
aren't married now, so I'm not in that frame of
mind until we are. What can we do? This was
sent to Dear Abbey navigating Love in Florida. Is who
signed it? Dear plaques? Yeah, on the plaques of life?
What should this guy do? Okay, from what I understand,
(22:50):
he's the older guy he said he was. He's known
this young lady's forty seven. He's known this young lady
for twenty six years.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
So I would think that you know, she doesn't that
they don't need to see each other as often as
much as he thinks, because they've known each other for
so long. And also it's also a good thing when
you know what day you're going to be divorced. On,
which is in twenty days, so that's also that's also.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
A great thing.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
But I think moving on when you when you get
to forty seven, I'll be forty eight in a couple
of weeks, you really don't do a lot of talking
on the phone because that's just how people, you know,
move these days. Texting maybe, but talking on the phone,
you know, for thirty forty minutes. Those things really don't
(23:41):
happen too much this at this day and age.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I agree. I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I think I think he's I think this woman's a
little too clinging.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I think he's gonna need that. I was going to
say the same thing. Yeah, I kind of take take
a step back. You know, people are different. You think
you know someone for twenty six years and there, you know,
in a situation and they're not the same. All right,
let's try this one. All right.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Oh, this didn't go to deer Abbey. This just went
to me deer Plaques, I mean, my early seventies and
just retired. However, people keep talking to me about coming
back to coaching football. I've reached the highest of heights
in the college game, but I feel I may have
left the pro game a little too early, signed Miss
(24:25):
Terry's Love Bug in Tuscaloosa. What advice would you give
to this person Plaques in the Plaques of Life.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, ye're seventy years old, obviously, if you've been around
the football, the game of football for a very long time.
For what, it sounds like he's been to the you know,
the pinnacle of the sport at the college level.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Sounds like maybe I've been there and East Lansing and
Baton Rouge and Tuscaloosa and all those places.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
But depending if the if he or she is single
or married. If you're single, maybe ye at seventy years old,
to get in a little ball, a little sparking your life.
You go back to coaching. But if you have, you know,
a wife at home. He you're seventy years old, I
would assume that the spouse would tell you that, you
(25:11):
know what, it's time for you to hang it up
and focus on me a little more.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh, there you go, all right, Miss Terry's Lovebug and Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Hopefully that advice will help you. How about this one?
This one was sent to Dear Abby, Dear Plaques. After
six years of working closely together, I've developed a raging
crush on my co worker and project partner. Let's call
this person Brett. It's a full on, face flushing, daydreaming
(25:38):
kind of situation, and it's super annoying. I know this
crush is inappropriate and unreciprocated, and I have no intention
of acting on it. We are both married and I
would like to stay that way. My strategy has been
to spend less time together and work on not being
a moron. Change my schedule so we don't overlap as often.
(26:03):
The issue now is that I've heard from a different
co worker that Brett thinks I'm mad at him because
he's done something wrong, which is not the case. I
don't want to keep hurting his feelings, but there's no
way I'm going to tell him what's going on besides
quitting or going on leave until I can get myself
under control.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What can I do? This was sent strictly business in
the South. Wow. Yes, So she is married, yep, and
it's got a crush on a co worker who's also married, Right,
what do you do?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Well, she's in a tough situation. That's the only way
I can really put it. I think she just has
to go up to her co working and just be honest.
So you know what, I know, we're both married, but
I have a crush on you, and I guess they
can just kind of just take it from there. I've
seen stranger things happen, but working together in the workplace,
(27:00):
that's just, you know, a tough situation for them to
be in. Obviously they have to maintain a professionalism about
their job. But at the same time, you know what,
and she said, it's a full face on crush. That
means every time this young lady lays eyes on this man,
she you know, has written all over her face.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
She can't.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
You can't hide your feelings. So at some point in
time she's going to have to switch her schedule back
to when he is working and just be honest with
him and get it off the table and get it
off her chest.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I think she needs a cold shower, That's what I'm
That's what I'm thinking. Strictly, business in the South needs
to cool down. You know what I love about this letter.
It's like, well, I'm going to stay married and I'm
not quitting my job. How do I get out of this? Well,
good luck, lady, good luck all right? Final one, dear plaques.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I'm used to being the star on my team, but
this past winter, the team I was on brought in
a new star. So now I'm not sure how long
I want to be on this team. I kind of
made it known that I want out, but also don't
want to give away.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Any of the fifty two million dollars that they owe me.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I'm probably going home next offseason, but something tells me
maybe I should leave this place and go home.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Now what should I do? Signed Balding in LA.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
What is what is the answer to this dilemma?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
You know what, I'm gonna go back to my coach,
Kyleward days and get in the training camp. He would
always say, know what, don't get caught up into counting
numbers because you never know what's going to happen on
a day to day basis. You don't have to be
a star to be a part of a team just
because they bought somebody better than you. Life and sports
(28:52):
is always about competition. If you don't want to go
out there and fight with your teammates because they put
somebody in front of you, I think the best thing
for you to do is to leave the team. And
he's already put it out there that he doesn't want
to play on his team unless he is the star.
There's always going to be somebody better than you. If
(29:13):
you don't want to be a part of the team
because somebody is better than you, then maybe it's time
for you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Maybe you need to.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Reevaluate yourself and reevaluate so from a professional and athletics standpoint,
and if you want to go be the best player
on another team, you're it sounds like you're going to
play for a team that is not as good as
your current one.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
You will be the star, but you won't win any games.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
There is the advice from Plexico Burns here on the
plaques of life well done.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
All right, did you like that role? Did you like it?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Roll as the advice giver? And so many different, wide
ranging topics.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, you know, I'm well versed out here in this world.
I know you are.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
You know a lot of things that I've seen an
experience on a day to day basin in my tender
forty seven years of living.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So you know, I've been and scene through a lot.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
So I have a lot of gyms that are hitting
outside of the realm of sports. So it's a you know, well,
maybe a segment that we can keep going moving forward
and we'll just switch it a raum. Yeah, the guys
and everybody when they get back. But I really enjoyed it.
Tell it, Tell TJ and LeVar. Yeah, it's a new
day here in the B block. We'll be doing a
(30:25):
little different fellas. All right, let's go to the news desk.
Guys at Gloyd Crodis here.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Hopefully Nick Taban and Lebron James were listening because maybe
they could take some of Flax's advice and all of that.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Isaac, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Yeah, real job disguising our identity with that user name there, Lebron,
have no idea you were talking about. Guys, have got
one Major League Baseball game going on right now. The
Philly is a one nothing lead over the Yankees and
the top of the second inning at Yankee Stadium on
an RBI single by JP real Muto. But the big
story is off the field. Yankee star Aaron Judge not
(30:57):
in the lineup because of an elbow issue.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Yank.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
He's manager, Aaron Boone, provided the details prior to the game.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Just last night was really dealing with and couldn't really
throw well from the outfield, so he got imaging today,
so we'll kind of wait on that. It was more
about throwing last night, like he couldn't really get the
ball in very well, So want to him down and
get the imaging, get her hands around just what exactly
we're dealing with.
Speaker 9 (31:21):
In the NFL, New York Judts quarterback Justin Fields took
part in individual and seven on seven drills today, two
days after he sustained a dislocated toe on his right foot.
The Miami Dolphins reportedly signing defensive back of Mike Hilton.
Earlier today, the Dolphins signed cornerback Jack Jones after cornerback
Already Burns towards ACL in practice earlier this week. Finally,
(31:42):
we have a Dan Bayer update with a twist at
Justin Inceinsey riding in and I quote, you nailed the
male enhancement spot, Dan unquote. However, the twist is in
this case Justin and since he spelled mail.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
M A I L.
Speaker 9 (32:05):
Apparently there's some confusion along the way somehow.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I'm gonna blame voice to text probably on that one. Right, Okay,
that makes sense. Supposed to know that we were talking
about blue shoo.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
Yes, because there's a big difference in those spellings back
to you.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yes it is, that's what she said. No, I don't
even know if that fits. I have no idea. He's
Isaac Glowing Crowd. Get him up at Isaac gloagrod You
can find me at Dan Byer on Fox Flexico Buris
is here, find him on x at Plexico Buris.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Isaac had the note about Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I don't know if you caught this, plex but Adam
Schefter the Jets fans dirty the other day because Fields
when Fields with that with his injury, He tweeted, Justin
Fields has left the field with an apparent lower left
leg injury so wide open where every Jets fan felt
(33:00):
that he ruptured his achilles like Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
It ends up being a dislocated toe.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
That wasn't the big tr But Adam Schefter threw all
of the Gang Green and all of the Jets fans
into a tizzy because of his his referencing of the
Justin Fields injury.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
You know, I expect those kind of things from Adam.
You know, he's a Michigan guy, so they tend to
do things like that. By the way, if you dissocated
a toe I have never dislocated a toe, but a
toe is very painful to play through it. I'm telling
you it has to It can't be as big toe
because if you dislocated a big toe, he'll be in
(33:39):
a walking boot and he would not be participating. So
it's probably one of the four baby toes. Yeah, you
really don't need a lot to go out and play quarterback,
So obviously it's not a big toe because if.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
You have a if you ever had any kind.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Of big toe injury, I mean it's tough to play
with it really is.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Is Isaac back on the practice field today doing stuff?
Is on the practice field yesterday and dressed, which I
think surprised a lot of people that he would be
out a day after.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
But he is in. The Jets are hoping for a
different outcome than from what they've had in the previous
couple of seasons. He is Plexico Burras. I'm Dan Byer.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
This is up on Game here on Fox Sports Radio.
Coming up next, we wrap up the show with some
interesting comments from one Stephen Curry who says NBA players
are actually underpaid. We'll tell you his reasoning next on
Fox Sports Radio. It's up on game on Fox Sports Radio.

Lebron James Lakers saga where no news is always news, plax,
Did you hear what Steph Curry had to say when
talking about salaries in the NBA? This was This is
pretty surprising, especially because when Steph Curry talks a lot
(35:24):
of times, he maybe.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Doesn't people listen.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Yeah, yeah, it may not be on the deepest of conversations.
Maybe if he's talking hoops in threes he'll go into detail.
But now we're talking about the business side of basketball.
And as he said, when Steph speaks, people listen. And
Steph spoke with Speedy Mormon on Complex and ended up
having this exchange about the salaries of current NBA players.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Here's Steph Curry.
Speaker 10 (35:52):
The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're
playing is a part why I would say, yes, we
are underpaid, because you want to be able to participate
in that in that rise. I know we're blessed to,
you know, be in a position where we're playing basketball
for a living and these are the type of checks
that people are earning. And I think it's all deserved
because it's a special commodity. It's a special industry that
(36:16):
probably won't go anywhere because that entertainment value is there.
But yeah, I feel like, hopefully sooner than later, those
rules change a little bit so that players can participate
more in the upside of team equity, the league evaluations
and all that type stuff, just because we I think
we deserve.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Yeah, And step Steph usually doesn't talk with an agenda,
and I don't think that.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
I don't think that was an agenda.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
The question was posed our NBA players actually underpaid on
the heels of Shay Gildish, Alexander and Devin Booker getting
these contracts, it'll pay them seventy million dollars plus a season.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Steph's going to make sixty million dollars a season.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Are you on track with with Steph saying that they're
they're underpaid because of their inability to get any equity
into the teams that they're most likely playing for.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Unfortunately for Steph Curry, I understand them listening to everything
he's saying, but it's one of those things that I
don't think that will happen in either the NBA or NFL.
I can see what stuff's coming from because he has
basically turned this whole entire franchise around to a like
(37:28):
a global franchise, so everybody recognizes and those who exactly
the Golden State Warriors are. I don't know the price
that they were purchased for back in two thousand, but
I believe they were about eight billion dollars eight point
eight billion dollars or something right now. And for him
to everything that he's brought to this team, it's basically
(37:49):
been off the back, off and off of his shoulders
because he's bought them four World championships and he has
basically made them a household franchise worldwide. But for players
to come into the league, I don't believe the owners
would never allow the players while they are playing for
their team that they own, are going to allow the players.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
To earn a salary and to have.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Equity within the team that they are currently playing for.
It's gonna be a tough road ahead, you know, I've
seen obviously, you know, some of these guys get involved
with different teams. I believe Jannis is a part of
the Milwaukee Brewers now, but not the current team that
they are playing for, especially from an equity standpoint, because
(38:35):
now they are basically, you know, forking over some of
their ownership to the player who is currently paying for them,
playing for them and being paid a salary. It's gonna
be a tough road ahead. Because we saw this with
Caleb wins when he came into the league this year.
He tried to get some equity you know, within the
Chicago bands with him to being a number one pick.
(38:55):
It was something that we had never seen before and
that didn't happen with him. It may be something that
you know, you know, happens years later on down the road.
Buff for right now. I just don't see teams allowing that.
You just players that have.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Equity within the team while they're playing.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
There's the tricky part of it because we've seen, as
you said, Giannis is is a member of the Brewers,
but you know of that ownership group. But it's not
like Christian Yelich owns a share of the Brewers. What
I think is the tricky part with the NBA is
no owner is going to want to give up a
And when I say substantial, I mean it in the
(39:34):
terms of the equity that you would give a minority partner,
you know, someone We've seen other athletes dive into other
sports franchises that cross over, but I don't think that
they would want to be, say how the hostage in
a negotiation saying well, guess what, I'm going to need
(39:55):
one percent of the organization, you know for me to
sign the contract. I think that's the tricky part of it.
We can see it on the minimal aspect of another team.
You know, if Giannis pays five million dollars to get
a share of the Brewers, it's kind of a drop
in the bucket of ownership. But still you've got some
sort of ownership. I think NBA owners would be worried
(40:17):
that in negotiations players would want to take way much
more equity than just a nice, small, little friendly share
that's a different athlete coming over from a different sport
would take, or from any other business venture, you know,
those those those minority shares that are sometimes sold by
teams are very very small, but you just you want
that in And I think that the owners probably fear
(40:39):
that players would take advantage of it and want more
of their equity.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Yeah, but I think Steph Curry is in a different
category when we're talking about fair of you know, of
you know, a team like Lebron, but just you can't
have a guy that's sitting on a bench, you know,
he's making you know, Averas Sally of Non Mianaalis and
he's asked equity in the basket ball team, you know
those things.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Yeah, it can't happen. I kind of think that.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
It's going to snowball into something bigger if and when
this thing the start. But you can you can argue
that a Lebron or Steph Curry or Jannis, these guys
you know, have the right to ask for equity within
the organization being that everything that they have bought to
the ownership group.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
All right, let's end up on game with I watched five,
I watched twenty twenty five. Pall Benson. What's the latest
on Lebron James this offseason.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
Yeah, Marcus Smart was doing an interview with I believe
the other network spoke about how heavily long Luka Doncic
recruited him to come to the Lakers. But he did
mention that he has not yet spoken to Lebron James,
which I think makes him like the fifth new Laker
that said they haven't yet talked to Lebron.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Oh, boy, blax, that's kind of tough that that is.
It wasn't a Greece or Italy or Spain or something
like that recently. I thought he was.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Somewhere in Europe. Maybe that's why that's why they get
ahold of them.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
This is all so.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Oh man, well Bo told me how much you love
talking Lakers and and how much you love that purple
and gold, and so we had to get our watch
update before we wrapped up the show. It's been a
lot of fun. Plaques appreciate it. I love being here,
especially at the started training camp. Had a lot of fun,
great show man. Thanks for coming on man, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
I love doing it. Our second annual meeting is over. TJ.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
LaVar will be back with Plax next week. This is
up on Game on Fox Sports Radio.
