tirereck dot Com studio. Tireck dot Com will help you

dot Com is the way tire buying should be and
(01:16):
really quick. We have not discussed Draymond Green, one of
the best players in the league on one of the
best teams, best organizations, best last what you say, decade
at least dynasties. Yeah, he resigns for one hundred million.
They get rid of Jordan Poole. I believe Draymond left
(01:40):
money on the table. He wanted to be back in
Golden State and he left money on the table, And
so that shows you his commitment to the team. Do
you like not that they brought him back, that he
was willing to leave money on the table to retire
a Golden State Warrior.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Doesn't surprise me at all. Why would you want to
go somewhere else to acquire more money? But what that
he probably doesn't need, but to be miserable at the
same time, I mean, is the money worth losing basketball
games night in the night out and putting yourself in
(02:20):
a situation that, oh, I just did it for the money.
They have a dynasty out there in Golden State. Were
they winning to work another World championship? We don't know.
But the fact that those three guys that you just named,
Klay Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond have been together their
whole careers and has been able to win full World
(02:43):
Championships with nobody even thought they they were capable of
doing that. And look at the player that dreamond has become.
At one time they say that Draymond Green wasn't even
an NBA basketball player, and now you look, you know,
twelve years later, he has four World championships and he's
going to be a lifer in this organization. And I
(03:08):
just I love the fact that he said, you know what, man,
I don't need that extra twenty or thirty million. I'm
gonna stay here with my guys. We have built we
have built a legacy and a dynasty here in Golden State.
And there are many players in the world ever that
(03:29):
are going to compare to playing with a Steph Curry.
You're going to leave Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Which
allows Draymont Green to go out on the basketball court
every night and basically do what he's able to do.
He's not going to go to any other team like that.
Steph and Clay allow him to get the ball, get
(03:53):
a rebound, and push the ball in transition. Sometimes he
takes it all the way to the basket, and when
Draymont Green is coming to cop with a basketball, clay
and Steph just run to the corners or get behind
a three point line, knowing that somebody's got to step
up and defending Raymont. And I just love the fact
that you know, he stayed, you know, loyal to his
(04:13):
guys and a full year another hundred million. He actually
said this last week on the radio. He said, I
believe I'm worth another one hundred million, and he got
exactly that, So he knows what he's talking about. In
piece to my man. You know, he's going to finish
his career in Golden State, and I believe that that
was what he was after and he got it accomplished.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Once they got rid of Jordan Poole, we knew it
was a foregone conclusion that Draymond was re signing with
the Warriors. The winning, the stability, the happiness. Draymond has
more money.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Than he can spend it.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And so again, yeah, the twenty thirty million, we all
need want money, but that that happiness and the things
he has in the Bay Area, it o ways anything else.
So yes, I do agree with you on that. So
we are on the same page with that. Now let's
flip the script. Let's go to the field, to the
(05:10):
field of football, and this is really off the field.
Four guys have been suspended for gambling and for the year.
They're not big names, so their careers may be over.
And when we were playing plaques, you couldn't gamble on.
We knew that you couldn't gamble. And so I'm wondering
(05:33):
if really had a phone when I came in. I
came in the league in two thousand, I had achio flip. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
won't no text messaging back in two thousand. Nah, but
this is the thing though, we had a beeper, Hey
them pages?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, I guess the question is more so, why after
Calvin Ridley you lose millions of dollars over a couple
hundred or a few thousand. Why we all know I'm
gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why. I
don't believe that they did this after the suspensions. These
(06:11):
acts that these guys did, as far as gambling had
already taken had already taken place.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
They said.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Isaiah Rodgers, the corner from the Coats, bet that his
running back would have X amount of yards during the
season last year, and he got him and they said
his bets were twenty five to fifty dollars. He made
one thousand dollars bet. We all know you can't do it, Like,
why are you risking your livelihood over a few hundred dollars?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Man?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
This is the question that we asked every time somebody
gets popped. I mean, I don't understand it, or maybe
they think that they can get away with it, or
maybe you can just result back to they don't understand the.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Rules and what happened.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
If it's a star player that they find out is
what happens, then what happens?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What happens.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
LeVar has spoken on this, you know a few months
ago when we learned the suspensions of James Winston. I mean,
Jameis Williams and all these guys. Just don't do it.
I mean, get your get your friends to place that
little twenty twenty five dollar bet.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Like, hold up, hold up, if it's just twenty five dollars,
get your friend to do it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
What's your patting fault? You in the league.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Please tell me what twenty is do I guess it's
the thrill you get the adrenaline of it, hey being
that I was right. Bro, Hey, bro, I want you
to put this fifty dollars on the Raiders to win,
like fifty dollars. It's come on, man, it's not worth it.
And so it blows my mind. And some teams are
(07:51):
more are more proactive than others, where you get into
that meeting on a Wednesday and they gonna really hammer
it down. Listen, we can't do this. They gonna show videos,
they're gonna boom boom, boom boom, and it's gonna be constant.
Other teams may just give you a reminder one time,
but even.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Still, but all you know.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
But also I will say this, look at the teams
in which these guys are getting caught in Arizona, h Washington, Detroit.
They aren't the Pittsburgh Steelers, in the in the Patriots
and in the Giants, and like these teams at Dallas
(08:31):
that they aren't these teams that have been these organizations
of people that are constantly reminding the Playoffs about the
rules and what you can and cannot do.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Why do you need to be constantly reminded, you know,
the rules? Like and that's what I don't like. Oh,
you know the rules.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You ain't.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You're not a baby, you're a grown man. Why do
you need to be constantly reminded.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Like they do? Obviously because it keeps happening.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
To me, it's one of those things where this is
what I call this. They hustling backwards. Oh, you are
hustling backwards. You're betting twenty five to fifty dollars. Okay,
they said the largest bet was a thousand. Even if
you win, how much you're winning, you making twenty times
that per week, twenty times that per week.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You hustling backwards.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Because guess what, now, go ahead and make them twenty
five to fifty dollars bet still is not gonna make
up what you just lost.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It makes no sense to me sometime.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
What are guys thinking, Like what goes through your mind
when you make these types of decisions?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
When thrill thing? Man, they just they do it for
the thrill of it.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I mean there's really, man, you better best somebody on
the team. You bet best somebody on the team. Where
you can do that, you bet somebody and bet on
your bet, on your you want a thrill bet on
y'a alma mater to win every week? Then somebody bet
on that. That's a thrill, bet on that, Like I
just for me, I I don't feel sorry for these
guys because we know once it happened with Calvin Ridley,
(10:08):
it was like whoa and I do agree with I
forget who was it?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Somebody put it out there? Who put this tweet out?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Basically, we can't bet on games, but we can risk
our life for the game. And like, it doesn't make sense.
How can I not bet on my team to win?
But I can basically risk my life for my.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Team to win. But that's the rule.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
These are the rules that are set forth by the
National Football League. You must have buy by them because
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
There's nowhere around it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Listen it don't It does not matter who you are.
The NFL is moving and shaking every year. They gonna
move with you or they gonna move without you. Either
you get in or you get out. And it doesn't
matter who it is. Tom Brady the best player of
the NFL for many many years, he gone the NFL.
You think they gonna take a step back, Nope, they
gonna keep on trucking. And so as players, we got
(11:06):
to understand our time in the league seems like it's
forever and you, I'm sure, just like me, can't remember
your first year, your first practice like it was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was, and it's over that fast. It's over to
that fast. It was a blur man.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
And guys are taking it for granted that you are
a professional athlete, the life it affords us, the doors
that it opens for us. We cannot take these things
for granted because now those guys, and all of those
guys were minimum salary players, with this latest suspension, they
(11:48):
may never get another opportunity and they'll sit back ten
to fifteen years from now regretting that they lost their
livelihoods in the National Football League over twenty five fifty
maybe one thousand. Like just think about that, like it's stopped.
It's not worthing it. I'm not blaming a coach, I'm
not blaming an organization. We know when I say we
(12:12):
as players, you know you have to take some type
of accountability.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
And I'm sure they have.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
But bro, if hustling backwards really had a face, it's
these guys that just got caught for this that I
don't know what they were doing. But again, I hope
y'all learn from it. I hope you do get another opportunity.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Doubt it.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I mean two of those guys, they were cut right away. Boom,
Chris Ballard coach GM. Nah, it's not what we want
on our team. Good luck, go find another team. Maybe
it for him, end of the road. It sucks, but
we will be taking a break and when we come back,
we'll stay locked in with the National Football League because
(12:57):
we are football guys that love to talk all sports.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
But let's talk is around the corner, right around the corner.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
We'll talk, you know, little egos, Jason Kelsey, Dolphin chiefs man.
And then I don't know about what Derek Carr talk.
I don't know Derek Carr. We're gonna get into what

Speaker 3 (14:23):
We're live from it Tirack dot com studio.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I'm TJ.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Hushazada alongside mister Plexico.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Burris. LeVar is not joining us today.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
It's his birthday, so again, tweet at LeVar Arrington wish
you would have a birthday. You can tweet at myself,
at Who's Shady four, at Plexico Burrows at Fox Sports Radio,
and if you choose not to tweet, hey, just have
a great day, great weekend. Jason Kelsey it's on the
podcast and says Jalen Hurts is still beating himself up
(15:00):
over that Super Bowl loss, and as a player, you
can appreciate.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Him.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Just let's listen to what Jason Kelsey said about Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
When you're the guy, you know, when you're Jalen Hurts,
I know the way he thinks because we've talked about it.
You know, he still beats himself up for this play
and that play. It's like, dude, you had like the
best performance ever by a quarterback in the history of
the Super Bowl. You did just fine, right, But the
reality is, when you're that guy, if you're really a competitor,
you think.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
You control stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You don't want to acknowledge that somebody else or a
field or officials, because once you start doing that, you
start devaluing who you are and who we are. Right now,
we're not giving that to anybody. We control the outcome.
We made enough mistakes and we would have fixed that
stuff up. We win that game regardless of what happens
with the field anything.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So if I'm Jalen Hurt, Jalalen Hurts went twenty seven
for thirty eight, three hundred and four yards passing with
a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's a great game.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
That was a sports Take podcast that Jason Kelsey just
said that if you want to listen to the entire interview.
But he also had fifteen carries, seventy yards and three
touchdowns on the ground. Shalen Hurts did all he could do,
but the fact that it bothers him is good. But
he does need to move on and worry about this
(16:33):
upcoming season. Where are you at what Jalen Hurts feeling
that he let the team down but still dwelling on
it and it's been six seven months.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Man, This kind of attitude is what makes players great.
I love the fact that he's bothered by losing a
Super Bowl. You're supposed to be and even though the
numbers this has just put up twenty seven for thirty
eight and touchdowns on the ground, that's a great That's
a great performance by Jalen Hurts, but it's not great
(17:06):
enough for him. And it's what you want from your
quarterback and your franchise player to feel because you know
that it's pushing him to be even better, Like, how
can you There's only one way to play better than
those stats that you had, and that is to win
(17:30):
the game and I love the fact that he sees
that he wasn't good enough for his football team to
win that to win that World Championship game, when he
absolutely did. He went out and delivered a mastermall performance
against the Kansas City Chiefs that basically came down to
(17:53):
a holding play by James Bradburg. I'm saying to myself
that the defense is going to get off the field.
They are down, they're up by two. You can't say
he's just going to keep the field goal go up one.
And now we have the opportunity to see Jalen Hurts
lead his football team down the field in a two
(18:15):
minute drive, but we didn't get that.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I believe the.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Rough called a ticket tack file and the rest is history.
But for Jalen Hurts, I said it on the shoulder
of the on the Carton Show. I believe that he's
the fifth best quarterback in football. I ranked Josh Allen four,
justin Herbert three, Joe Burrow won, and Patrick Mahomes Joe
Burrow two and Patrick Mahomes won. And that's the hell
(18:42):
of a quarterbacking list. And I believe that he is
in that top five category of quarterbacks. Wherever you want
to put him at that's just my list in my opinion.
But the fact that this man took him to the
Super Bowl, I still believe that Eagles are still the
best team in the NFC outside of the division. I'm
(19:04):
saying the conference. They have the team and the tools
to make a run to get back to another NFC
Championship game and hopefully another Super Bowl. But we know
how things change year and the year out. James Badbridge
no longer on this team, Darius Slay is no longer
a part of this team. Defensively, so you lose two
(19:26):
start and corners, so you just don't know what that
is gonna look like on the edge as far as them,
you know it's stopping big plays. But I believe Jalen
hurts Man, He's gonna rise to be a great player,
and that attitude that he has is only gonna propel
him to be even better.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I like the fact that it bothers him and it
motivates you, and it pushes you in your offseason workouts.
But at some point we gotta say, Okay, he did
his part, but football is the ultimate team game. Eleven
guys pulling in the same direction. You need eleven guys
(20:09):
on the same page at all times. One guy is
not on that same page, that play doesn't work. And
that's why it is the ultimate team game, the best
game in the world. Jalen Hurst did his part, but
it wasn't enough as a team. Let it motivate you,
let it drive you, but don't let it eat at you,
(20:30):
because you gotta move forward. You have to be able
to move forward and focus on this upcoming season because
the goals if they lose good players. They did, but
they still have a core that can get them back
to NFC at least as we look at it right now,
(20:50):
doesn't seem very strong. You look at the NFC and
you named your top fives. Only one of those guys
so back NFC, right, I mean, I mean look at
(21:12):
the NFC.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I mean look at the NFC. Who is the best
quarterback in the NFC. You have to say Jalen Hurts,
not just exactly, they to the NFC Championship Game, went
to the Super Bowl. He is the best quarterback in
the NFC, and that quarterbacks for the a f C.
The AFC is loaded from top to bottle.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And now Aaron Rodgers is in the a f C.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And so that's my point about Jalen Hurts, move forward
because you have another opportunity in front of you to
now right. You're wrong if you believe that Super Bowl
and you didn't play up to your right, you're wrong
now because you guys have a great chance of getting
right back where you guys were last year and now
less finish because I believe at halftime were they up
(22:02):
twenty four to fourteen? I believe, And so they had
it in Kansas City, being a championship team that they are,
they came back in a fourth quarter and scored seventeen points.
And so I like the fact again that it bothers them,
but we gotta move forward. He wills that this season,
(22:26):
when when do you? It will always bother you, But
when do you? As Jalen Hurts it just as a player, period,
get over there. I've never played this.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Man, Listen, let me tell you have we have when
when is that time?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Way?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Luckily for me, I didn't have the opportunity. Well I
had the opportunity to lose them, but we didn't. I
won one.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I lost two AFC championship games in Pittsburgh, and they
hurt Dog, because you're right down the doorstep of reaching
a chain, ourhood dream, of accomplishing something that you always
wanted to do. And I mean it took me at
least three or four months to get over it, because
(23:12):
you're saying to yourself, like, man, the team's changing, some
coaches are going to other places. No guys are getting
one year older, and you just saying to yourself, Man,
I just hope I have the opportunity to get back
to another championship game, to have the opportunity to get
to the super Bowl. You're not even thinking about the
(23:35):
You're thinking about the super Bowl, Like, listen, first we
gotta win our division. Then we got to, you know,
win two or three games in the playoffs just to
get to the super Bowl. And I lost two of those,
and I said to myself, I was like, Dog, I'm
never going to get there. And I remember sitting on
this bench. We were playing the Green Bay Packers man
(23:57):
and O seven in the NFC Championship game and Laurence
Times was going out for this first kick. I mean
it was what minus maybe sixteen degree wind chill or something,
and he missed the field goal. I said to myself,
I said, I'm never going to get there, but we did.
(24:19):
Rest is history, but it takes some time, especially for
the Super Bowl, because there's no guarantee that you're going
to get back.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Well, they have a great chance. I believe they have
a great chance and he should also believe it. And
Plexico's eyes, he's the best quarterback in the as said, actually,
I agree with Plexico in that as well. We got
to get to Isaac lauryn Crime with the trending, I
low what you got for us.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
Got some interesting news obviously with the NBA, but also
some social media news as it relates to the NBA
and sports. Multiple outlets reporting today, but first of all,
Portland Trailblazer superstar Damian Lillard has requested to be traded.
The s Letick added that Lillard has informed the Blazers
that he specifically wants to be traded to the Miami Heat.
(25:05):
Lillard had played the first eleven seasons of his career
with Portland. That makes him the third longest tenured player
with their current team in the league. Only two who
have been with their current teams longer Steph Curry and
Klay Thompson, both with Golden State in NBA free agency. Today,
ESPN reported that Max Strus is headed from Miami to
the Cleveland Cavaliers out of four year, sixty three million
(25:26):
dollars sign and trade deal, and that the Los Angeles
Lakers have agreed to a two year deal with free
agent center Jackson Hayes. Now, finally we've got some social
media news that affects the way all of us us,
including our listeners, that affects the way we all consume
our sports information these days. You might have noticed that
Twitter is having all sorts of problems today. Well, Twitter
(25:49):
owner and James Bond movie supervillain Elon Musk has just
announced that unverified Twitter accounts, which most people have these days,
are now now limited to tweeting just six hundred posts
per day, which, frankly, is really notable if you're a
sports fan, especially during this NBA free agency frenzy. I suppose,
(26:12):
among other things, that could also affect how many random
fans Kevin Durant is able to clap back out.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Let what happens when you get to six hundred? They
don't let your tweet anymore.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
No, no, no, they don't let you look at any
other tweets anymore. You can't. You can't even look at
any other tweets. If you get to six hundred, it
flashes you a message that says, sorry, you are right limited.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Barbarick wow, barbio barbi. Yeah, well, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
He gonna make you pay for more, more tweets, more
views going on.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Yeah, if you pay to get verified, you can view
six thousand tweets a day, which is still not enough
for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I might add I ain't paying. I ain't paying either.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
What's wait to six is though the six shy? He
goes to six thousand? What's up with the sixers?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
He needs money?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Oh my goodness, well you better start producing them. Tesla's
a little faster. Start making them tests a little quicker,
get them product, get that production going a little sooner,
a little faster than what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Well, Elon musk Man, you got to get that together.
It's a good thing on sweet a lot, and I'll
view it a lot. It's a good thing on that,
you know, on Twitter like that, But there are gonna
be people that pay for it. We know that it's
really not worth it, and you know what else isn't
worth it. The Dolphins play the Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany,
and they said those tickets sold out in fifteen minutes,
(27:41):
and the resell is gonna be through the roof. And
you got the fans of those teams saying, like, how
the hell did they sell out in fifteen minutes? As
soon as they went on sale, I went to buy tickets,
the tickets were gone. So they're gonna be sold on
the aftermarket, aftermarket, and they're gonna be two, three.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Four or five times a mount which that ain't worth it.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But if you're in frank for Germany, you don't get
a lot of United States football, not the soccer, the
real football.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
In my estimation, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Germany is looking like it's turning into a hotbed for football,
the our football with a helmet in shoulder pats.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I mean, you know, the NFL has always been trying
to expand the game. It's the only game that is
a professional sport that is not played in any other
country in the world professionally. And I get it. I
(28:48):
understand you know what they're trying to do. Because we
played in seven in Wimbley Stadium. We played in the
first game in London. It was the inaugural game that
we played in and every year it just continued to
get better. Now they're playing on three or four games
over there in London.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I believe with.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Jacksonville Jaguars, I like working on a lifetime contract to
play in London forever, just like the Detroit Lions have
on Thanksgiving. They're working on something else to that in
that nature. But you know, obviously, when these tickets went
on sale, the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and
(29:31):
the Miami Dolphins want the first people to purchase these tickets,
these pitches. These tickets were purchased by the people that
live in Germany obviously, just like you said, to hold
them hostage, and they're going to jack the prices up
probably two or three times the price of the ticket.
(29:51):
And you know, the NFL has a rule where you know,
there's no ticket scalping or oh you can't raised the
price of a ticket that's already been purchased. But this
isn't a whole other country, so you can't police that.
So it's going to become a problem more of a
(30:12):
problem as the NFL continues to expand and playing other countries,
because I don't believe they really have any jurisdiction as
far as the laws of what can and cannot happen
when they're happening in another country. And it's unfortunate for
the I mean, if you're the league, for the true fans,
(30:33):
when you just.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
If you're the league, what for.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
The true fans? It sucks for them. But if you're
the league, you're like, tickets sold, we can do what
you do with them? They sold they sold out, like
they are sold out.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, yeah, I get it. Ticket you can get a ticket.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
But now if you you know, you're season ticket holder
in Kansas City or the Miami Dolphins, so now you
get the opportunity for this game being a season ticket holder,
you should feel shorted because now these I believe season
tickets that you pay for they don't expand the Germany
(31:13):
or London. You have to buy a separate ticket to
get in for this game. So maybe this ticket, I
don't know what tickets costs you these days, maybe it's
five hundred dollars. Now you have to get a ticket
or buy a ticket from somebody that lives over there.
And now the price for you to get this ticket,
to twenty five hundred dollars just to get into a
football game.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That you a ticket holders in the l they should
they should be afforded an opportunity first to purchase tickets
prior to them going on sale. They should be afforded
that opportunity to purchase tickets. If you don't want to purchase, okay,
now they're going to be on sale for the public.
But I mean to me, it's a great thing for
(31:52):
the National Football League when you're playing another country and
the game sells out in fifteen minutes. That's supply and demand.
The demand is there, and it's like wow. And that's
why they're playing two games in Germany because last year
it sold out just as fast as it did this year.
And so moving forward, when they play in Germany next year,
(32:15):
teams and the fans of those teams be ready or
the NFL should tell these teams and organizations all for
the season ticket holders the opportunity to purchase tickets before
they go on sell to the public. And if they
choose not to purchase them, then okay. But I get
if I'm a fan of the chiefs ort of Dolphins
(32:38):
and I wanted to attend this game, and I'm not
able to get the ticket at face value, and I
gotta hop on airplane and I gotta get a hotel
or airbnb or whatever it may be.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Nah, that that's a lot for one game.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
And I'm a season ticket holder, and I feel I
should be afforded some type of some type of favor
because of the amount of time and money in myself.
I've invested in this team and this organization. So hopefully
the league can figure it out. But it's a great
thing when you can play in Germany and they're selling
(33:16):
out in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
It ain't nothing like it, right, Yeah, Man, I've had
the experience to the traveling abroad and playing.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I mean it's a hell of where'd you play? We
played in London. Where'd you play?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Actually played the Miami Dolphins Wimbley Stadium. Yeah, we actually played.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
In was it was it was it sold out, was
sold out, it was it was.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
It was sold to the to the to the top
of the to the top of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It was. You couldn't put no more people in there.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
And I believe it was like one hundred and twenty
one hundred and thirty thousand people in there. Because it's
a sock. You got to remember that this is a
soccer venue. It's not of an NFL stadium where they
hold seven many five eighty thousand people.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
This is a soccer venue.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
So it was probably I would say one hundred and
thirty thousand people in this arena.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, we we Any team I was on, we were
never selected or to go play out.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
The I'm gonna tell you how we I'm gonna tell
you how selected. We were selected for the inaugural game
by the residents of London, England.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And I mean you guys, you're playing with the Giants, correct, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
The Dolphins and the Giants are the two favorite teams
of the residents that live in London. So that's how
we got selected. I mean it is the Giants.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I mean when you talk the Giants, the Cowboys, the Steelers,
the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Who else am I missing? Maybe now?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
The Rams, the Niners, Packers, those are teams that people
want to see have always been successful, the Bears, so
makes sense.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
The favorites of people, the residents of London, maybe the Colors,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Who knows. But the show is almost over, man.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
We got to come back and pretty much wrap it
up like that, fask and we will finish talking about oooh.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Mister Carr.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I don't know if I agree with Derek Carr. Maybe
I do. We'll get into that when we come back
up on game. Plexico Burris, I'm TJ. Who she was
out of Fox Sports Radio, will be right back.
Speaker 2 (35:37):

says he's wishing success for the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
As the youngsters would say, I say.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Cap what you think, and hey, I'm sorry the viewers
that are listening to CAP.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
When a youngsters say that, that means he's lying. But
I'm sorry. What you hear.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
He hopes that the Love Vega Raiders crash and burn.
That is exactly what he means by that. But you know,
from a media perspective and the professionalism, the professionalism that
comes with the job, he's supposed to say that.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Do you really.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Think the heat cares if the Las Vegas Raiders have
a good season.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
You know how refreshing that would be. You know how
refreshing it would be if somebody just told the truth.
Be like, what you wish for the Raiders. I ain't
gonna lie, man. I want the Raiders to go on seventeen.
That released me.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I can care less.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
I hope that that's what he should say. One I
hope they don't win a ball game. That's what I
would have.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
That's way now. I want all my partners to play well.
I just want them to play well. Yes, I don't
want nobody to get hurt. But uh I hope they
go on seventeen and had the work quarterback QBR enfranchise
history and you know how you just fire because they
(38:01):
made his wife cry. They made his wife cry. I
don't want him to win the game. I want my
buddies to play well.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Get some money. Y'all gonna see y'all have to say,
why do we not as week?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Why do quarterbacks always have to be politically correct?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Why is it? Listen?
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I just do not see how the Lufs Vegas Raiders
have upgraded at the quarterback position signing Jimmy Garoppolo knowing
before you signed him that he has to have foot surgery.
That just doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
What else would they have done? They had no other
choice they had.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
It tells me internally that there was something going on
between David Carr, then Mark Davis and Josh mcdames, because
there's no way that he is supposed to be out
as the quarterback of this franchise. One state, it was
over of the DeVante Adams once they benched them. It
(39:06):
was that was the beginning of that. Once you bench
Derek Carr there's no turning back.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
You have already said to yourselves in that organization, to
the owners in those meetings, car is no longer our
quarterback moving forward. But what I don't get is you
let Steadham, who was your backup who played well, go
to a divisional rival in the Denver Broncos. So at
that point, it didn't matter if Jimmy Garoppolo needed three surgeries?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
What other option did they have? They didn't have any options.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
They they they were backed in the corner because they
needed a quarterback and he was the only one available.
He couldn't needed five surgery. He was the only one available.
That was who they wanted. They wanted Jimmy know, he
was the only one available. Was starting experience has had
some type of success.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Like who else? Who else they gonna get in the thing?
They didn't have any options?
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Okay, but hey, I do want to say I do
want to say this end of the show man, you know,
we lost two brothers. And then last week man peace
to my brother Clark Hagen's who I was drafted with
back in two thousand and his two kids and his
wife a Leanna h Man would have lost. That's my brother,
Love him. To death, and obviously the tragic death of
(40:20):
Ryan Ally the other day man. We just say peace
and condolence to the fan.

(01:16):
really quick. We have not discussed Draymond Green, one of
the best players in the league on one of the
best teams, best organizations, best last what you say, decade
at least dynasties. Yeah, he resigns for one hundred million.
They get rid of Jordan Poole. I believe Draymond left
(01:40):
money on the table. He wanted to be back in
Golden State and he left money on the table, And
so that shows you his commitment to the team. Do
you like not that they brought him back, that he
was willing to leave money on the table to retire
a Golden State Warrior.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Doesn't surprise me at all. Why would you want to
go somewhere else to acquire more money? But what that
he probably doesn't need, but to be miserable at the
same time, I mean, is the money worth losing basketball
games night in the night out and putting yourself in
(02:20):
a situation that, oh, I just did it for the money.
They have a dynasty out there in Golden State. Were
they winning to work another World championship? We don't know.
But the fact that those three guys that you just named,
Klay Thompson, Steph Curry and Draymond have been together their
whole careers and has been able to win full World
(02:43):
Championships with nobody even thought they they were capable of
doing that. And look at the player that dreamond has become.
At one time they say that Draymond Green wasn't even
an NBA basketball player, and now you look, you know,
twelve years later, he has four World championships and he's
going to be a lifer in this organization. And I
(03:08):
just I love the fact that he said, you know what, man,
I don't need that extra twenty or thirty million. I'm
gonna stay here with my guys. We have built we
have built a legacy and a dynasty here in Golden State.
And there are many players in the world ever that
(03:29):
are going to compare to playing with a Steph Curry.
You're going to leave Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Which
allows Draymont Green to go out on the basketball court
every night and basically do what he's able to do.
He's not going to go to any other team like that.
Steph and Clay allow him to get the ball, get
(03:53):
a rebound, and push the ball in transition. Sometimes he
takes it all the way to the basket, and when
Draymont Green is coming to cop with a basketball, clay
and Steph just run to the corners or get behind
a three point line, knowing that somebody's got to step
up and defending Raymont. And I just love the fact
that you know, he stayed, you know, loyal to his
(04:13):
guys and a full year another hundred million. He actually
said this last week on the radio. He said, I
believe I'm worth another one hundred million, and he got
exactly that, So he knows what he's talking about. In
piece to my man. You know, he's going to finish
his career in Golden State, and I believe that that
was what he was after and he got it accomplished.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Once they got rid of Jordan Poole, we knew it
was a foregone conclusion that Draymond was re signing with
the Warriors. The winning, the stability, the happiness. Draymond has
more money.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Than he can spend it.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
And so again, yeah, the twenty thirty million, we all
need want money, but that that happiness and the things
he has in the Bay Area, it o ways anything else.
So yes, I do agree with you on that. So
we are on the same page with that. Now let's
flip the script. Let's go to the field, to the
(05:10):
field of football, and this is really off the field.
Four guys have been suspended for gambling and for the year.
They're not big names, so their careers may be over.
And when we were playing plaques, you couldn't gamble on.
We knew that you couldn't gamble. And so I'm wondering
(05:33):
if really had a phone when I came in. I
came in the league in two thousand, I had achio flip. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
won't no text messaging back in two thousand. Nah, but
this is the thing though, we had a beeper, Hey
them pages?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, I guess the question is more so, why after
Calvin Ridley you lose millions of dollars over a couple
hundred or a few thousand. Why we all know I'm
gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why. I
don't believe that they did this after the suspensions. These
(06:11):
acts that these guys did, as far as gambling had
already taken had already taken place.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
They said.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Isaiah Rodgers, the corner from the Coats, bet that his
running back would have X amount of yards during the
season last year, and he got him and they said
his bets were twenty five to fifty dollars. He made
one thousand dollars bet. We all know you can't do it, Like,
why are you risking your livelihood over a few hundred dollars?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Man?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
This is the question that we asked every time somebody
gets popped. I mean, I don't understand it, or maybe
they think that they can get away with it, or
maybe you can just result back to they don't understand the.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Rules and what happened.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
If it's a star player that they find out is
what happens, then what happens?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What happens.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
LeVar has spoken on this, you know a few months
ago when we learned the suspensions of James Winston. I mean,
Jameis Williams and all these guys. Just don't do it.
I mean, get your get your friends to place that
little twenty twenty five dollar bet.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Like, hold up, hold up, if it's just twenty five dollars,
get your friend to do it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
What's your patting fault? You in the league.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Please tell me what twenty is do I guess it's
the thrill you get the adrenaline of it, hey being
that I was right. Bro, Hey, bro, I want you
to put this fifty dollars on the Raiders to win,
like fifty dollars. It's come on, man, it's not worth it.
And so it blows my mind. And some teams are
(07:51):
more are more proactive than others, where you get into
that meeting on a Wednesday and they gonna really hammer
it down. Listen, we can't do this. They gonna show videos,
they're gonna boom boom, boom boom, and it's gonna be constant.
Other teams may just give you a reminder one time,
but even.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Still, but all you know.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
But also I will say this, look at the teams
in which these guys are getting caught in Arizona, h Washington, Detroit.
They aren't the Pittsburgh Steelers, in the in the Patriots
and in the Giants, and like these teams at Dallas
(08:31):
that they aren't these teams that have been these organizations
of people that are constantly reminding the Playoffs about the
rules and what you can and cannot do.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Why do you need to be constantly reminded, you know,
the rules? Like and that's what I don't like. Oh,
you know the rules.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You ain't.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You're not a baby, you're a grown man. Why do
you need to be constantly reminded.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Like they do? Obviously because it keeps happening.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
To me, it's one of those things where this is
what I call this. They hustling backwards. Oh, you are
hustling backwards. You're betting twenty five to fifty dollars. Okay,
they said the largest bet was a thousand. Even if
you win, how much you're winning, you making twenty times
that per week, twenty times that per week.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You hustling backwards.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Because guess what, now, go ahead and make them twenty
five to fifty dollars bet still is not gonna make
up what you just lost.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
It makes no sense to me sometime.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
What are guys thinking, Like what goes through your mind
when you make these types of decisions?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
When thrill thing? Man, they just they do it for
the thrill of it.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I mean there's really, man, you better best somebody on
the team. You bet best somebody on the team. Where
you can do that, you bet somebody and bet on
your bet, on your you want a thrill bet on
y'a alma mater to win every week? Then somebody bet
on that. That's a thrill, bet on that, Like I
just for me, I I don't feel sorry for these
guys because we know once it happened with Calvin Ridley,
(10:08):
it was like whoa and I do agree with I
forget who was it?
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Somebody put it out there? Who put this tweet out?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Basically, we can't bet on games, but we can risk
our life for the game. And like, it doesn't make sense.
How can I not bet on my team to win?
But I can basically risk my life for my.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Team to win. But that's the rule.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
These are the rules that are set forth by the
National Football League. You must have buy by them because
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
There's nowhere around it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Listen it don't It does not matter who you are.
The NFL is moving and shaking every year. They gonna
move with you or they gonna move without you. Either
you get in or you get out. And it doesn't
matter who it is. Tom Brady the best player of
the NFL for many many years, he gone the NFL.
You think they gonna take a step back, Nope, they
gonna keep on trucking. And so as players, we got
(11:06):
to understand our time in the league seems like it's
forever and you, I'm sure, just like me, can't remember
your first year, your first practice like it was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was, and it's over that fast. It's over to
that fast. It was a blur man.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
And guys are taking it for granted that you are
a professional athlete, the life it affords us, the doors
that it opens for us. We cannot take these things
for granted because now those guys, and all of those
guys were minimum salary players, with this latest suspension, they
(11:48):
may never get another opportunity and they'll sit back ten
to fifteen years from now regretting that they lost their
livelihoods in the National Football League over twenty five fifty
maybe one thousand. Like just think about that, like it's stopped.
It's not worthing it. I'm not blaming a coach, I'm
not blaming an organization. We know when I say we
(12:12):
as players, you know you have to take some type
of accountability.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
And I'm sure they have.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
But bro, if hustling backwards really had a face, it's
these guys that just got caught for this that I
don't know what they were doing. But again, I hope
y'all learn from it. I hope you do get another opportunity.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Doubt it.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I mean two of those guys, they were cut right away. Boom,
Chris Ballard coach GM. Nah, it's not what we want
on our team. Good luck, go find another team. Maybe
it for him, end of the road. It sucks, but
we will be taking a break and when we come back,
we'll stay locked in with the National Football League because
(12:57):
we are football guys that love to talk all sports.
Speaker 2 (13:01):

I'm TJ.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Hushazada alongside mister Plexico.

and if you choose not to tweet, hey, just have
a great day, great weekend. Jason Kelsey it's on the
podcast and says Jalen Hurts is still beating himself up
(15:00):
over that Super Bowl loss, and as a player, you
can appreciate.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Him.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Just let's listen to what Jason Kelsey said about Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
When you're the guy, you know, when you're Jalen Hurts,
I know the way he thinks because we've talked about it.
You know, he still beats himself up for this play
and that play. It's like, dude, you had like the
best performance ever by a quarterback in the history of
the Super Bowl. You did just fine, right, But the
reality is, when you're that guy, if you're really a competitor,
you think.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
You control stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You don't want to acknowledge that somebody else or a
field or officials, because once you start doing that, you
start devaluing who you are and who we are. Right now,
we're not giving that to anybody. We control the outcome.
We made enough mistakes and we would have fixed that
stuff up. We win that game regardless of what happens
with the field anything.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
So if I'm Jalen Hurt, Jalalen Hurts went twenty seven
for thirty eight, three hundred and four yards passing with
a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
That's a great game.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
That was a sports Take podcast that Jason Kelsey just
said that if you want to listen to the entire interview.
But he also had fifteen carries, seventy yards and three
touchdowns on the ground. Shalen Hurts did all he could do,
but the fact that it bothers him is good. But
he does need to move on and worry about this
(16:33):
upcoming season. Where are you at what Jalen Hurts feeling
that he let the team down but still dwelling on
it and it's been six seven months.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Man, This kind of attitude is what makes players great.
I love the fact that he's bothered by losing a
Super Bowl. You're supposed to be and even though the
numbers this has just put up twenty seven for thirty
eight and touchdowns on the ground, that's a great That's
a great performance by Jalen Hurts, but it's not great
(17:06):
enough for him. And it's what you want from your
quarterback and your franchise player to feel because you know
that it's pushing him to be even better, Like, how
can you There's only one way to play better than
those stats that you had, and that is to win
(17:30):
the game and I love the fact that he sees
that he wasn't good enough for his football team to
win that to win that World Championship game, when he
absolutely did. He went out and delivered a mastermall performance
against the Kansas City Chiefs that basically came down to
(17:53):
a holding play by James Bradburg. I'm saying to myself
that the defense is going to get off the field.
They are down, they're up by two. You can't say
he's just going to keep the field goal go up one.
And now we have the opportunity to see Jalen Hurts
lead his football team down the field in a two
(18:15):
minute drive, but we didn't get that.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I believe the.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Rough called a ticket tack file and the rest is history.
But for Jalen Hurts, I said it on the shoulder
of the on the Carton Show. I believe that he's
the fifth best quarterback in football. I ranked Josh Allen four,
justin Herbert three, Joe Burrow won, and Patrick Mahomes Joe
Burrow two and Patrick Mahomes won. And that's the hell
(18:42):
of a quarterbacking list. And I believe that he is
in that top five category of quarterbacks. Wherever you want
to put him at that's just my list in my opinion.
But the fact that this man took him to the
Super Bowl, I still believe that Eagles are still the
best team in the NFC outside of the division. I'm
(19:04):
saying the conference. They have the team and the tools
to make a run to get back to another NFC
Championship game and hopefully another Super Bowl. But we know
how things change year and the year out. James Badbridge
no longer on this team, Darius Slay is no longer
a part of this team. Defensively, so you lose two
(19:26):
start and corners, so you just don't know what that
is gonna look like on the edge as far as them,
you know it's stopping big plays. But I believe Jalen
hurts Man, He's gonna rise to be a great player,
and that attitude that he has is only gonna propel
him to be even better.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I like the fact that it bothers him and it
motivates you, and it pushes you in your offseason workouts.
But at some point we gotta say, Okay, he did
his part, but football is the ultimate team game. Eleven
guys pulling in the same direction. You need eleven guys
(20:09):
on the same page at all times. One guy is
not on that same page, that play doesn't work. And
that's why it is the ultimate team game, the best
game in the world. Jalen Hurst did his part, but
it wasn't enough as a team. Let it motivate you,
let it drive you, but don't let it eat at you,
(20:30):
because you gotta move forward. You have to be able
to move forward and focus on this upcoming season because
the goals if they lose good players. They did, but
they still have a core that can get them back
to NFC at least as we look at it right now,
(20:50):
doesn't seem very strong. You look at the NFC and
you named your top fives. Only one of those guys
so back NFC, right, I mean, I mean look at
(21:12):
the NFC.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I mean look at the NFC. Who is the best
quarterback in the NFC. You have to say Jalen Hurts,
not just exactly, they to the NFC Championship Game, went
to the Super Bowl. He is the best quarterback in
the NFC, and that quarterbacks for the a f C.
The AFC is loaded from top to bottle.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
And now Aaron Rodgers is in the a f C.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
And so that's my point about Jalen Hurts, move forward
because you have another opportunity in front of you to
now right. You're wrong if you believe that Super Bowl
and you didn't play up to your right, you're wrong
now because you guys have a great chance of getting
right back where you guys were last year and now
less finish because I believe at halftime were they up
(22:02):
twenty four to fourteen? I believe, And so they had
it in Kansas City, being a championship team that they are,
they came back in a fourth quarter and scored seventeen points.
And so I like the fact again that it bothers them,
but we gotta move forward. He wills that this season,
(22:26):
when when do you? It will always bother you, But
when do you? As Jalen Hurts it just as a player, period,
get over there. I've never played this.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Man, Listen, let me tell you have we have when
when is that time?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Way?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Luckily for me, I didn't have the opportunity. Well I
had the opportunity to lose them, but we didn't. I
won one.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But let me tell you something.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I lost two AFC championship games in Pittsburgh, and they
hurt Dog, because you're right down the doorstep of reaching
a chain, ourhood dream, of accomplishing something that you always
wanted to do. And I mean it took me at
least three or four months to get over it, because
(23:12):
you're saying to yourself, like, man, the team's changing, some
coaches are going to other places. No guys are getting
one year older, and you just saying to yourself, Man,
I just hope I have the opportunity to get back
to another championship game, to have the opportunity to get
to the super Bowl. You're not even thinking about the
(23:35):
You're thinking about the super Bowl, Like, listen, first we
gotta win our division. Then we got to, you know,
win two or three games in the playoffs just to
get to the super Bowl. And I lost two of those,
and I said to myself, I was like, Dog, I'm
never going to get there. And I remember sitting on
this bench. We were playing the Green Bay Packers man
(23:57):
and O seven in the NFC Championship game and Laurence
Times was going out for this first kick. I mean
it was what minus maybe sixteen degree wind chill or something,
and he missed the field goal. I said to myself,
I said, I'm never going to get there, but we did.
(24:19):
Rest is history, but it takes some time, especially for
the Super Bowl, because there's no guarantee that you're going
to get back.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Well, they have a great chance. I believe they have
a great chance and he should also believe it. And
Plexico's eyes, he's the best quarterback in the as said, actually,
I agree with Plexico in that as well. We got
to get to Isaac lauryn Crime with the trending, I
low what you got for us.
Speaker 7 (24:43):
Got some interesting news obviously with the NBA, but also
some social media news as it relates to the NBA
and sports. Multiple outlets reporting today, but first of all,
Portland Trailblazer superstar Damian Lillard has requested to be traded.
The s Letick added that Lillard has informed the Blazers
that he specifically wants to be traded to the Miami Heat.
(25:05):
Lillard had played the first eleven seasons of his career
with Portland. That makes him the third longest tenured player
with their current team in the league. Only two who
have been with their current teams longer Steph Curry and
Klay Thompson, both with Golden State in NBA free agency. Today,
ESPN reported that Max Strus is headed from Miami to
the Cleveland Cavaliers out of four year, sixty three million
(25:26):
dollars sign and trade deal, and that the Los Angeles
Lakers have agreed to a two year deal with free
agent center Jackson Hayes. Now, finally we've got some social
media news that affects the way all of us us,
including our listeners, that affects the way we all consume
our sports information these days. You might have noticed that
Twitter is having all sorts of problems today. Well, Twitter
(25:49):
owner and James Bond movie supervillain Elon Musk has just
announced that unverified Twitter accounts, which most people have these days,
are now now limited to tweeting just six hundred posts
per day, which, frankly, is really notable if you're a
sports fan, especially during this NBA free agency frenzy. I suppose,
(26:12):
among other things, that could also affect how many random
fans Kevin Durant is able to clap back out.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Let what happens when you get to six hundred? They
don't let your tweet anymore.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
No, no, no, they don't let you look at any
other tweets anymore. You can't. You can't even look at
any other tweets. If you get to six hundred, it
flashes you a message that says, sorry, you are right limited.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Barbarick wow, barbio barbi. Yeah, well, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
He gonna make you pay for more, more tweets, more
views going on.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Yeah, if you pay to get verified, you can view
six thousand tweets a day, which is still not enough
for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I might add I ain't paying. I ain't paying either.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
What's wait to six is though the six shy? He
goes to six thousand? What's up with the sixers?
Speaker 7 (27:03):
He needs money?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Oh my goodness, well you better start producing them. Tesla's
a little faster. Start making them tests a little quicker,
get them product, get that production going a little sooner,
a little faster than what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Well, Elon musk Man, you got to get that together.
It's a good thing on sweet a lot, and I'll
view it a lot. It's a good thing on that,
you know, on Twitter like that, But there are gonna
be people that pay for it. We know that it's
really not worth it, and you know what else isn't
worth it. The Dolphins play the Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany,
and they said those tickets sold out in fifteen minutes,
(27:41):
and the resell is gonna be through the roof. And
you got the fans of those teams saying, like, how
the hell did they sell out in fifteen minutes? As
soon as they went on sale, I went to buy tickets,
the tickets were gone. So they're gonna be sold on
the aftermarket, aftermarket, and they're gonna be two, three.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Four or five times a mount which that ain't worth it.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But if you're in frank for Germany, you don't get
a lot of United States football, not the soccer, the
real football.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
In my estimation, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Germany is looking like it's turning into a hotbed for football,
the our football with a helmet in shoulder pats.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
I mean, you know, the NFL has always been trying
to expand the game. It's the only game that is
a professional sport that is not played in any other
country in the world professionally. And I get it. I
(28:48):
understand you know what they're trying to do. Because we
played in seven in Wimbley Stadium. We played in the
first game in London. It was the inaugural game that
we played in and every year it just continued to
get better. Now they're playing on three or four games
over there in London.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I believe with.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Jacksonville Jaguars, I like working on a lifetime contract to
play in London forever, just like the Detroit Lions have
on Thanksgiving. They're working on something else to that in
that nature. But you know, obviously, when these tickets went
on sale, the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and
(29:31):
the Miami Dolphins want the first people to purchase these tickets,
these pitches. These tickets were purchased by the people that
live in Germany obviously, just like you said, to hold
them hostage, and they're going to jack the prices up
probably two or three times the price of the ticket.
(29:51):
And you know, the NFL has a rule where you know,
there's no ticket scalping or oh you can't raised the
price of a ticket that's already been purchased. But this
isn't a whole other country, so you can't police that.
So it's going to become a problem more of a
(30:12):
problem as the NFL continues to expand and playing other countries,
because I don't believe they really have any jurisdiction as
far as the laws of what can and cannot happen
when they're happening in another country. And it's unfortunate for
the I mean, if you're the league, for the true fans,
(30:33):
when you just.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
If you're the league, what for.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
The true fans? It sucks for them. But if you're
the league, you're like, tickets sold, we can do what
you do with them? They sold they sold out, like
they are sold out.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, yeah, I get it. Ticket you can get a ticket.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
But now if you you know, you're season ticket holder
in Kansas City or the Miami Dolphins, so now you
get the opportunity for this game being a season ticket holder,
you should feel shorted because now these I believe season
tickets that you pay for they don't expand the Germany
(31:13):
or London. You have to buy a separate ticket to
get in for this game. So maybe this ticket, I
don't know what tickets costs you these days, maybe it's
five hundred dollars. Now you have to get a ticket
or buy a ticket from somebody that lives over there.
And now the price for you to get this ticket,
to twenty five hundred dollars just to get into a
football game.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That you a ticket holders in the l they should
they should be afforded an opportunity first to purchase tickets
prior to them going on sale. They should be afforded
that opportunity to purchase tickets. If you don't want to purchase, okay,
now they're going to be on sale for the public.
But I mean to me, it's a great thing for
(31:52):
the National Football League when you're playing another country and
the game sells out in fifteen minutes. That's supply and demand.
The demand is there, and it's like wow. And that's
why they're playing two games in Germany because last year
it sold out just as fast as it did this year.
And so moving forward, when they play in Germany next year,
(32:15):
teams and the fans of those teams be ready or
the NFL should tell these teams and organizations all for
the season ticket holders the opportunity to purchase tickets before
they go on sell to the public. And if they
choose not to purchase them, then okay. But I get
if I'm a fan of the chiefs ort of Dolphins
(32:38):
and I wanted to attend this game, and I'm not
able to get the ticket at face value, and I
gotta hop on airplane and I gotta get a hotel
or airbnb or whatever it may be.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Nah, that that's a lot for one game.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
And I'm a season ticket holder, and I feel I
should be afforded some type of some type of favor
because of the amount of time and money in myself.
I've invested in this team and this organization. So hopefully
the league can figure it out. But it's a great
thing when you can play in Germany and they're selling
(33:16):
out in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
It ain't nothing like it, right, Yeah, Man, I've had
the experience to the traveling abroad and playing.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I mean it's a hell of where'd you play? We
played in London. Where'd you play?
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Actually played the Miami Dolphins Wimbley Stadium. Yeah, we actually played.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
In was it was it was it sold out, was
sold out, it was it was.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
It was sold to the to the to the top
of the to the top of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It was. You couldn't put no more people in there.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
And I believe it was like one hundred and twenty
one hundred and thirty thousand people in there. Because it's
a sock. You got to remember that this is a
soccer venue. It's not of an NFL stadium where they
hold seven many five eighty thousand people.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
This is a soccer venue.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
So it was probably I would say one hundred and
thirty thousand people in this arena.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, we we Any team I was on, we were
never selected or to go play out.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
The I'm gonna tell you how we I'm gonna tell
you how selected. We were selected for the inaugural game
by the residents of London, England.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
And I mean you guys, you're playing with the Giants, correct, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
The Dolphins and the Giants are the two favorite teams
of the residents that live in London. So that's how
we got selected. I mean it is the Giants.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I mean when you talk the Giants, the Cowboys, the Steelers,
the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Who else am I missing? Maybe now?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
The Rams, the Niners, Packers, those are teams that people
want to see have always been successful, the Bears, so
makes sense.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
The favorites of people, the residents of London, maybe the Colors,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Who knows. But the show is almost over, man.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
We got to come back and pretty much wrap it
up like that, fask and we will finish talking about oooh.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Mister Carr.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I don't know if I agree with Derek Carr. Maybe
I do. We'll get into that when we come back
up on game. Plexico Burris, I'm TJ. Who she was
out of Fox Sports Radio, will be right back.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
One one pitch swinging.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
There's a high drive to center, racing back his demo
good time over the center field wall to the left
of straight away. The rookie Patrick Bailey has hit a
three run homer to turn this game on.

It handed.

says he's wishing success for the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
As the youngsters would say, I say.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Cap what you think, and hey, I'm sorry the viewers
that are listening to CAP.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
When a youngsters say that, that means he's lying. But
I'm sorry. What you hear.
Speaker 5 (36:57):
He hopes that the Love Vega Raiders crash and burn.
That is exactly what he means by that. But you know,
from a media perspective and the professionalism, the professionalism that
comes with the job, he's supposed to say that.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Do you really.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Think the heat cares if the Las Vegas Raiders have
a good season.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
You know how refreshing that would be. You know how
refreshing it would be if somebody just told the truth.
Be like, what you wish for the Raiders. I ain't
gonna lie, man. I want the Raiders to go on seventeen.
That released me.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I can care less.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
I hope that that's what he should say. One I
hope they don't win a ball game. That's what I
would have.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
That's way now. I want all my partners to play well.
I just want them to play well. Yes, I don't
want nobody to get hurt. But uh I hope they
go on seventeen and had the work quarterback QBR enfranchise
history and you know how you just fire because they
(38:01):
made his wife cry. They made his wife cry. I
don't want him to win the game. I want my
buddies to play well.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Get some money. Y'all gonna see y'all have to say,
why do we not as week?
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Why do quarterbacks always have to be politically correct?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Why is it? Listen?
Speaker 5 (38:24):
I just do not see how the Lufs Vegas Raiders
have upgraded at the quarterback position signing Jimmy Garoppolo knowing
before you signed him that he has to have foot surgery.
That just doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
What else would they have done? They had no other
choice they had.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
It tells me internally that there was something going on
between David Carr, then Mark Davis and Josh mcdames, because
there's no way that he is supposed to be out
as the quarterback of this franchise. One state, it was
over of the DeVante Adams once they benched them. It
(39:06):
was that was the beginning of that. Once you bench
Derek Carr there's no turning back.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
You have already said to yourselves in that organization, to
the owners in those meetings, car is no longer our
quarterback moving forward. But what I don't get is you
let Steadham, who was your backup who played well, go
to a divisional rival in the Denver Broncos. So at
that point, it didn't matter if Jimmy Garoppolo needed three surgeries?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
What other option did they have? They didn't have any options.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
They they they were backed in the corner because they
needed a quarterback and he was the only one available.
He couldn't needed five surgery. He was the only one available.
That was who they wanted. They wanted Jimmy know, he
was the only one available. Was starting experience has had
some type of success.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Like who else? Who else they gonna get in the thing?
They didn't have any options?
Speaker 5 (39:57):
Okay, but hey, I do want to say I do
want to say this end of the show man, you know,
we lost two brothers. And then last week man peace
