is a Hall of Famer at What I always appreciate
is I'm very outspoken, and if I criticize somebody, I
always bring them on the show and I say come
at me. And years ago, I don't have a problem
with to now, but years and years ago he'd done
(01:07):
stuff that drove me nuts. And when he came on
the show, I said, come at me, because I'm gonna
come at you. And he was great, and it was like,
all right, I like this guy. We're fine, We're all good.
LaVar Ball does that. LaVar Ball comes on the show.
Some of the times I think he's out of his gourd.
But I always tell LaVar I'm gonna come at you.
Come at me. By the way, I told Baker Mayfield
(01:28):
that he was great. Baker was great. So Russell Westbrook
hates me. Aaron Rodgers, They're always welcome on the show.
Come at me. So t O all these years comes
on the show, doesn't always agree. But the one thing
I think is funny is that he annoys people because
he's a Hall of Famer and he says, all right,
you're not gonna put me on the first ballot. I'm
I'm not gonna go there, and that drives that drives
(01:51):
people crazy. Part of that I like, part of that
little poking in the rip stuff I like to is
now joining us. So people, you know, first of all,
people always say, you know, t O, you're gonna get older,
and you're gonna soften up, and you're gonna be just
such a gentle soul when your sixties, and you're gonna
go I want to go to the Hall of Fame,
(02:11):
and I want to do that. Is there even a
smidge chance that as you soften, as you get older,
you're just gonna go to the Hall of Fame and
cry and say I love you, Kumbaya and all that stuff,
you're ever gonna go there? Probably not. Probably not, as
I've said, and I think you alluded to it. You know,
(02:32):
I'm my own person. I realized when it comes to
the Hall of Fame and everything that it embodies when
you talk about really the motto the criteria for guys
to get In twenty sixteen was my first year up
for for the Hall of Fame, and I checked all
the boxes. And so at that time, you think about
the history of the game. You think about Jared Rice,
(02:54):
who's the greatest receiver to ever play the game, and
I'm second, you know, third, fourth, you know, statistically behind him,
and I don't get in. And as you just saw
with the recent Hall of Fame induction, and I want
to clear the air because I reached out to Calvin Johnson.
I congratulated him on his induction. But if you think
(03:15):
about the process and some of the guys that were
on that ballot with him, most notably, you think about
Tory Hope, you think about Reggie Wayne. Those guys are
a worthy you think about their statistics and what they
did not only for their organizations, but just the history
of the game itself. Those guys are just as is
deserving as Calvin Johnson. And I'm not criticized in him.
(03:36):
This is not to you know, you know, negate his
induction by any mean or discredit him from getting in.
But if you think about the process, you know, for me,
it's just like me, I checked all those boxes. And
you think about those two guys that I mentioned, Reggie
Wayne and Tory Hope. Both of those guys had super
Bowl rings, and that's part of some of the guys
that that that vote these players in. That's part of
(03:58):
the criteria for getting into the Hall of Fame. Yeah,
Calvin Jackson does. Johnson doesn't have any Hall of doesn't
have any Super Bowl rings. Those two guys do. So
what is the actual formula for guy I used to
be inductive? Does it bother you because in fifteen years
you play, you made the playoffs more than half. Does
(04:19):
it bother you when people say, hey, to was talented,
but he wasn't a good teammate, he didn't help the team.
You actually had huge playoff games. Is that the part
that's personal that bothers you that you something out were
great but you weren't a good teammate. Well, that's the
narrative that guys like yourself, Skip Bayless and some of
(04:40):
the former football players that are going on to be
a part of the media. That's the narrative that has
been out there for a number of years. And so
as it related to me in my Hall of Fame induction,
I got sick and tired of people really categorizing me
as you just mentioned, a bad teammate, being selfish, being arrogant.
There's an I'm of guys that have played this game
(05:01):
that have done far more things, uh you know, uh,
egregious or negative and a negative light than I have.
For whatever reason. Um that's the image that the media
portrayed throughout the courson But you can't say that, Um,
I don't embody what people consider a great teammate. When
(05:22):
you think about some of the teammates that I played with. Um,
none of my teammates have. I actually supported some of
the media's narrative that I was actually a poor teammate.
When you um in the NFL, it's always been understood
that like the NBA, the Stars are the league. In
the NFL, you never had the Even quarterbacks weren't very outspoken.
(05:44):
You know, quarterbacks are like, you know, part of the organization.
And now you have quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers is outspoken.
Deshaun Watson's like, get me out of here. Um, do
you do you do you side with like a Deshaun
Watson for instance, that says, this organization's off, I'm done
carrying it. You guys don't support me, I'm out of here.
Do you support that? Absolutely? When you think about really
(06:08):
where the NFL stands in terms of in comparison to
what Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Football Association,
how those guys, those players with those two entities, how
they unify and they basically, you know, they unify, they
get together, they understand their words, and I think players
(06:30):
are now starting to realize they have a lot of leverage.
If you think about the makeup of the National Football League.
It's seventy plus percent black and brown. And I think
that's what's missing, is that the fact that guys are
not able to really take their careers and matters into
their own hands. But as it relates to the Sean
wass this this situation, it was bound to happen. There
(06:53):
are things that has been swirling around that organization, even
from you know, obviously the departure of his number one
receiver in DeAndrea Hopkins. Um, you saw a guy in
Andrea Johnson that never gets on social media come out
basically you kind of share his sentiments about what's going on.
You saw before the passing of their owner, the racial
(07:13):
the racial insensitive remarks that he made. So there's something
brewing down that has been brewing in that organization that
DeShawn want Deshaun Watson wants to actually get away from him. Yeah.
By the way, there, Johnson point is well stated because
Andre Johnson's one of the classiest guys. Never said anything
about anybody when he comes out. When when he comes
(07:34):
out and says stuff, you got it. You got issues
inside the house of the Houston Texans. Now we had
we had Darius Leonard on yesterday. Who is just an
unbelievable football player. Went to a tiny school. Uh, the
Clemson didn't want him. In South Carolina didn't want him.
So in South Carolina state walks into the NFL, leads
the NFL and tackles as a rookie. You went, if
I can recall Chattanooga, you went to a small school
(07:56):
and you walked into the NFL and immediately it was like, Okay,
this guy is obviously a great player. Did we always
hear about quarterbacks playing with a chip on their shoulder,
t o, Did you play with a chip on your
shoulder knowing even in college you didn't get the respect
of getting like a big scholarship. Did you always have
that chip? Not at all? Because I knew coming out
(08:17):
of high school going to UT Chattanooga, I wasn't a
four or five star recruit. Even when I got drafted
third round, eighty nine pick. You think about the receivers
that win in that draft, I wasn't really highly talented
to be, you know, as talented as a number of
those guys. When you think about Samuelhammad, Eddie Kennison, Keyshawn Johnson,
(08:38):
these are guys, you know, Mercury Mercury, Hayes, Derek May.
These are guys that played at bigger universities than I did. Honestly, bro,
I never thought I would play beyond the collegiate level.
I really developed a passion for the game of football.
I developed a passion to play the receiver position. I
think I'm very unique in a number of ways. I
(08:59):
was just ordinary kid that was able to kind of
like sit develop a passion for the sport that ultimately
did some extraordinary things on the football field. So um,
I never had a chip, um you know the chip,
you know, A motivation that I had was when I
felt like I was being discredited or I felt like,
you know, management or coaches or or what have you
that basically tried to strip me on my voice and
(09:20):
really kind of strip strip me of who in the
essence of who I was and who a lady and
my grandmother raised to be a strong black man. I
appreciate that. So I got this, I see this thing.
You got a new You're partnering with a Lasorda family.
Tommy of course passed here in the last year. You've
got a wine label eighty one. Now you're one of
those guys. You've never even had a candy bar in
(09:41):
your life. You're you have like abs, You're gonna have
abs when you're eighty. So I know, So do you
drink You know, wine's actually supposed to be healthy for you.
You know that, right? Absolutely? Yeah? Wine wine a day?
Yeah helps, So you drink your wine? I do. I mean,
I definitely have to support, you know, the product that
I'm endorsed. And honestly, you mentioned mister Tumua disorder, God
(10:03):
rested soul. The week that he passed, I was supposed
to fly out to LA to do some marketing and
things for the wine, and he ultimately passed right before
before I got to LA, And so I just really
want to thank his family, but honestly just giving me
the blessings to be able to come up with it
to be a part of this partnership and this branding
of eighty one. And as you said, I never really
(10:24):
drink a lot when I was in when I played
in the National Football League. That was part of, you know,
my health reason as far as me optimizing my performance.
Alcohol will dehydrating. So I knew in order to be
the best athlete that I could be, I had to
eliminate some of the alcohol, but over the last couple
of years, I've dabbled and dabbled with wine. Obviously, this
(10:45):
partnership came, you know, organically through a mutual family friend
and my marketing agent, Max Management, and so they asked me,
you know what, I liked to partner with mister tumbl disorder.
And when you think about a Los Angeles legend, you know,
obviously hall of famer like I am, so all Saints
(11:06):
was Dodgers them, you know, winning their their championship last year.
This was the probably the best time, the most impopportune
time that I could be a part of something like this.
He's a Pro Football Hall of Famer. Here's a great
trivia question. By the way, I would have never guessed this.
This is a great trivia question. You can win money.
TiO is the only player in NFL history to score
(11:28):
a touchdown against all thirty two NFL teams. I wouldn't
have guessed that in one hundred tries. I cannot believe
Larry Fitzgerald. I seriously, he's played for decades. So among
your other things, third most receiving yards in NFL history,
Third most receiving touchdowns in NFL history, TiO, I like
having you on. You've grown up, You're good, you got
(11:49):
your act together, your life together. You seem happy, you
seem successful, and good for you. I'm happy for you.
I'm good. I'm good man. I'm just like my wine.
I'm aging Asian, like fine wine. Man. I appreciate a
wine drinking well, well, let me just say I own
I'm not going to get into my I own a
couple of wine stores in Connecticut. I sell it more
(12:09):
than I drink it, but I always appreciate it. Wine
is good for the soul. Yes, absolutely, well you are
definitely I appreciate eighty one. It's if you have a
taste for a plum preserves uh, any of that likes
uh that like you have a palette for a ripe
black cherry, spicy toasted oak. Uh. This is eighty one
(12:29):
is the wine for you. And it's a it's a
cab blind so it's nine cab and five percent Sara.
That's a good We eat that with a steak, by
to drink that with a steak right there, That rich
cab Sara stuff, good hardy steak Sara, very good stuff.
Don't have to pitch me on wine. Ever, I know
you're drinking all the time till thank you very much
for stopping by. You know, it's interesting his perspective when
(12:51):
he was young. He comes out of chat and we
don't know who he is. He becomes great, doesn't like
the way he's being treated, very outspoken, and then he's
sitting talk to him. It was like, here's how my
perspective whiles you were trying to take away the essence
of who I was, and I'm outspoken and this is
who I am. And it was a different time. As
I'm saying he would be, he would not be criticized.
(13:11):
I think he would be widely supported by fans now
because fans appreciate personalities and they appreciates hearing from athletes,
and social media plays a big role in that. You know,
the writers and media were the only one where the
gatekeepers of information, the cloaks and their scrolls. I know,
it really is funny, isn't it? All the media? Hey,
(13:35):
what's up everybody? It's me three time pro bowler Le Barrington,
and I couldn't be more excited to announce a new
podcast called Up on Game? What is up on Game?
You asked? Along with my fellow pro bowler t J.
Hushman Zada and Super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Burst.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
(13:57):
sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
to Up on Game with me lebar Arrington, T J.
Huschman's Outa and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast from. Kremo Barbara Grade
products by the way, get him at Amazon, Chremo Company

Company dot com. Joey Taylor with the news, No, no
turn on the news. This is the Herdline News. Well,
the Texans have not been listening to trade offers for
Deshaun Watson, but that has not stopped teams from calling.
Five teams have reportedly called the show interests in Deshaun Watson.
(14:42):
But there's one team that is in need of a
quarterback that hasn't reached out yet, and that is the
Washington football team. So they didn't call. Did not call.
It's very interesting because they do need a quarterback and
they're picking nineteenth in the draft. I'm not gonna get
a franchise quarterback there. Well, Chicago and Washington have bad
(15:04):
draft picks, need a quarterback, have championship level defenses, have
coaches with winning records and have momentum, and they're not
doing anything for quarterbacks. Something's fishy about the Bears in
the Washington football team. Either they're doing stuff and being covert,
but I think Sam Darnold fits with both well. I
would say that Chicago is in a more desperate situation
(15:26):
as a franchise than Washington is because Ron Rivera has
more job stability than the head coach in Tarmax Logger. Yes,
so they are. They are talking about, you know, maybe
they'll get it this year or we're gonna see maybe
it'll be next year, and that's not great for the fans.
But they do have a little bit more runway, to
your point, than Chicago does. The Washington thing is interesting
(15:51):
to me because if I am in any space where
I need a quarterback, I'm going to make the call,
Like you got to be in the bidding right, even
if they're not answering calls, and even if you don't
have the you don't have anywhere near what another team
can offer. You still have to make the call to
me yeah, and be aggressive. But some organizations are just
(16:14):
not that kind of aggressive. And maybe Washington is in
that space, or they're doing something behind the scenes. Maybe
there's somebody else if they have their eye on. So
the Packers won't have a lot of flexibility when free
agency begins. They are eleven point five million dollars over
the cap, and their GM is being realistic about what
the options will be this year. He said, I do
(16:34):
think if the right particular player is out there and
we think it's the best thing for the Greenway Packers
will be able to do it. We won't be able
to do a lot, and I do think there are
some restrictions, but if the right guy is out there,
I think what we're able to do what we need
to do. Well, they don't have They don't have a
bunch of needs. They really don't. They could, you know,
I mean, jj wat, it'd be great if they had
(16:55):
another edge rusher, but the whole league needs that. They don't.
They really don't Green Bay. What they could use, you know,
is another really good I mean, they're tight ends good,
They're all lines good, their backs good. I think their
corners are good. They're talking about franchise tagging Aaron Jones,
so we assumed that he would be gone. But if
(17:16):
they might Fani, I don't think they have a ton
of needs. I don't think when they played Tampa they
look quite as talented. But some of that is because
Brady's taken a pay cut and they've got two or
three extra guys team. Yeah, I mean, I just again,
I think I think an edge rusher would would be nice,
but they have could. They have two good defensive line
(17:39):
and Kenny Clark's great, so Green Bay doesn't need that.
They're a lot like Indianapolis in that you would not
be shocked Greenmate got to the NFC Championship back to
back years, the Colts if they ended up in the
the AFC Championship next year. So I just there are
certain teams in this league they don't need. I don't
(17:59):
think Bay needs free agency. I would like to see
them occasionally get more aggressive, but it's the Colton. Green
Bay are absolutely good enough to get to a conference championship.
And if you're good enough to get there, well, then
you're good enough to get to the Super Bowl. Well,
not if you don't. I feel like the Colts and
(18:19):
the Packers are one of those teams that needs some
luck along the way. They have a lot of talent,
they have the well now we'll see what happens with Wentz,
but certainly the Packers have their quarterback. They're very solid,
good culture, they know how to win. But it's just
like that one extra drop of spice, you know, making cooking.
You're like, yeah, one more shake and then it's good.
(18:43):
Don't you feel like Mahomes and the Chiefs have that
extra sparkle that you need to win a Super Bowl.
Certainly the Buccaneers do well. I think that better players.
I just think I think Tampa looks like an all
star team to me, and I think Green Bay looks
like a really good football team. Yes, they're just right
there in the middle. Look at the wide receivers for Tampa.
(19:04):
Your third is ab Antonio Brown, Like I think that
there's he works because he's there and he's with Tom Brady.
I don't know if he would work with another team. Well,
he wouldn't, that's true. Okay. Your Your fourth is Scottie Miller.
That's your fourth receiver in Tampa. That's an all star team.
It is. But to my point, I just feel like
(19:24):
if you're if you're paying attention to who's winning these
super Bowls, they're being aggressive or they have Tom Brady. Yeah.
So new Lions head coach Dan Campbell has been building
up his tough guy image. He does acknowledge he's not
the only one calling shots in Detroit. He might have
to defer to GM Brad Holme sometimes. And he has
an interesting reason on why he would be okay with
(19:45):
backing down. Here's what I'd say about a true alpha.
A true alpha gee knows one is time to concede
for the betterment of the team. And so I would
tell you one way or another, we've all there's already
been a couple of things where it's like maybe we
don't you see it a little more? This where I
see it. We haven't had one problem and we're not
(20:06):
going to have a problem. I love it, you know what,
Tang Campbell. I'm so grateful for you because you are
going definitely to provide lots of great content throughout he is,
he is an alpha. He's like a pro wrestler. Yeah, yeah,
I think it's fun. Actually, I don't. I don't think.
I don't know if it's gonna work. My personal opinion
is not gonna work. And that's not necessarily be in Cambell.
(20:26):
It's it's the lines. And I love I love Detroit,
no shade, but very consistently dysfunctional for a very long time.
They are more dysfunctional this morning than Cleveland. And that's
Santem absolutely absolutely. I don't think Detroit. I think Detroit
has not gotten close to enough credit for how yeah,
mismanaged they've been. About time to give them respect for
(20:47):
that they've They've they've certainly earned it. I'm looking to
see what happens. But uh, you know, the alpha thing
is always fun to me. Yeah, I mean guys like
that's important for God or is it role? I not me,
but it is. I mean I have my moments, but
I you know, there's like a good strong man. Yeah,
but you gotta be sensitive. Yeah, I got kids like crying,
(21:11):
I'll let it out sometimes. I don't think America abused
me as alpha. I don't think something America abused me. Yeah,
I don't know. Tweet us let us know joy with
the news. Well that's the news. And thanks for stopping
by The Herd. Lie Okay, I'd like to put my
stuff out there. Heard Stradamus all these teams talking quarterbacks.
I'm gonna tell you week after Labor Day, who's the
(21:34):
starting quarterback for every every team in that fifteen team
looking for a quarterback bubble. Let's gonna put it out
there next. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Herd weekdays and noon Easter nine am Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio FS one and the iHeart Radio app. Hey,
what's up everybody? It's me three time Pro Bowl of
Le Barrington, and I couldn't be more excited to announce
(21:56):
a new podcast called Up Point Game. What is Up
onint Games? Along with my fellow Pro bowler t J.
Hushman Zada and Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be

This company in Cincinnati that's been around since eighteen seventy
six sends me ice cream. It's called Graters gr e
(22:42):
A t E R s. It is the best ice
cream I've ever had of my life. They're not an advertiser.
They have a I'm not supposed to the ice cream
because I have a lactose issue. I've eaten eating half
the pint. Yeah, the black raspberry chocolate chip is the
(23:04):
best ice cream I've ever had in my life. That
sounds good. I have um Cincinnati, Ohio. Greaters brown butter
bourbon pecan. How is it strong? It's really good. It's incredible.
They're not an advertiser. I'm not. I'm not getting anything
out of this except small business. Listen, America's honesty broker.
We help small business. Plus you like Joe Barrow. Yep,
(23:25):
so support Greater's ice Cream in Cincinnati. It's from eighteen
seventy six. Now they've made some new batches since then,
so this is not one hundred and thirty years old.
The good news. I have so much food on my
desk right now. Oh my god, this is the ice
cream ice cream I have my Jerseney Mike sub I'm
gonna eat. I don't even know why they send it
to me. I have. They're no advertiser, I never I
don't even know why. By the way, for all you
(23:45):
high end retailers, maybe you get a free spot if
you send me stuff. All right, here we go. What
are we playing right now? We're playing m Hurdstredamas. All right,
let's play hurdstre Damas. I will guess every team there's
a rumored quarterback, I'm gonna guess officially right now, why
and where they're gonna end up? Okay? Who will be
(24:06):
the starter for the Seahawks. He's made the playoffs in
eight of his nine seasons. It would be professional coaching suicide.
Russell Wilson will play for the Seattle Seahawks because Pete
Carroll knows for all the issues and the shots Russell
has taken at Pete Carroll, there's nobody that could come
(24:28):
close to replacing him. Who will be the starter for
the Cowboys Dak Prescott. Contract negotiations this morning are reportedly
progressing with Dak and the Cowboys. Also, they've already offered
him a contract. It was five years he wanted four.
Dak's also made over fifty million indorsements. He's not dumb.
(24:52):
This is the place for him to be. Who will
be the starter for the Jets? Zach Wilson. How do
I know that? Because today Joe Douglas, the GM, for
the first time since October acknowledged we will take calls
on Sam Darnold. He said Sam in October was untouchable.
He is now acknowledging we will take calls, meaning Zach
(25:13):
Wilson is their guy. Who will be the starter for
the Falcons? Now, this is where I disagree with everybody.
I think it's Matt Ryan. The Falcons defense was the
worst in the NFL last year. They were losing shootouts.
He's thirty five, not forty. He's got two huge years
to pay him. He's got now an offensive head coach. Finally,
(25:34):
Matt Ryan is not going to be the problem the
next two years in Atlanta. He is not the issue.
You got no players in your front seven. Who will
be the starter for the forty nine ers the week
after Labor Day? It will be Jimmy Garoppolo. John Lynch
said he's our guy. Now, I do believe they will
draft a quarterback. I do believe they're over the injuries.
(25:58):
That's why we've got so many rumors. He also could
have played at the end of last year and chose
not to. I don't think that sat well with John
Lynch and Jimmy and Kyle Shanahan. But he will be
first week of the season the starter the Miami Dolphins.
I'm gonna say to Shaun Watson, I believe Deshaun Watson
(26:19):
will refuse to play for Houston. Miami's one of three
teams with multiple first round picks. This is happening sin
then I believe Deshaun Watson will not play for Houston.
And I think the Dolphins already realized based on what
we've heard, they're not special at quarterback. And if you're
(26:40):
in a division with Josh Allen, you better get special
at quarterback or Brian Flores is not winning the division
anytime soon. So who's going to be the starter for
the Texas? Justin Fields, the Ohio State quarterback who went
twenty and two at Ohio State. They don't want to
what they want a star to place to Shaun Watson.
(27:02):
And in order to a place to Shaun Watson, you
can't have a system quarterback. You're gonna have to go
out and get a star. I like Justin Fields more
than a lot of All these draft guys now are
down on Justin Field. I think he's gonna be fine,
just needs a couple of years in the league. The Saints,
this one seems obvious. Jameis Winston, he's cheap. Taysom Hill
has four career touchdown passes. He passed for what He's
(27:24):
still only thirty. I mean, he's not very old. Jamie
is a kid. By the way, he's gotten in good shape.
I thought he was lumpy a couple of years ago.
He's not anymore. He's in shape. He's been in the
system year two. He's cheap. Jamis the Patriots, Cam Newton,
he led all NFL quarterbacks with twelve rushing touchdowns year
two in the system for New England. He's gonna start.
(27:45):
By the way, tell me the other options the Jets
aren't trade in Sam Darnold in division. Tell me the
other options. Who would be the starter for the Washington
football team. This is where I go. Sam Darnold said
it a month ago. You as a witness. They're young,
they're talented. Takes pressure off Sam Darnold doesn't have to
win shootouts. Alex Smith is gone. Darnold is a tough
football player. That is, he is alpha. He is right
(28:07):
in line with what Ron Rivera likes. Chicago Bears Alex Smith.
He's got a relationship with Matt Naggie. Yep. Naggie was
the Chiefs quarterback coach during Smith's five years in Kansas City.
And by the way, how did Alex do as a
starter last year? Five and one? Interesting Panthers Trey Lance
(28:28):
forty two touchdowns, one turnover last year in North Dakota State.
I think he's probably the most underrated player, big strong,
as our scout Trey Lanzerline said earlier, they asked him
to run a pro offense in college. They're clearly over
Teddy Bridgewater. If you read the stories the Eagles, Jalen hurts.
(28:49):
They'll get healthier on the offensive line, he will have
more time to throw, and frankly, it's time the organization
gave a quarterback love for an entire year. The other
side of the state, fitzfig Steelers be aflics Burger, I
don't want to talk about it. I think it's a
stupid move. And the Den Broncos don't love this either.
Drew Lock. I think they'd like to move off, but
they're gonna lose the darn Old sweepstakes. I don't think
(29:10):
they want to pay Marcus Mariota. And so it's Drew Lock,
and it's low completion percentage. Black Rifle Coffee Company serving
