buying should be. Well, we are hit deep into Day
two of the NCAA Tournament. Mike Harmon's Oklahoma Sooners, who
(01:01):
he is wearing Oklahoma gear tonight. He's as shoeing as
purple shorts for Oklahoma gear because he wants the Sooners
to send Danny Hurly home. However, it's Ukon with a
three point lead nearly eight minutes left in the first half.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Here.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I know you, I know you are dying to send
the best coach in all of d one home for
the season.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Well, because I want to finish the week with you
here on Fox Sports Radio or extended family, Frostburg and
Ty Shirt and Steve Desager. I want to send us
out with the bang, because you know he will not
go meekly into the good night if they're losing in
the second half pissed off. If they lose, he might
give a word or two of encouragement to Oklahoma, and
(01:42):
then he'll be pissed off, and then that'll make our
guy after us, Chris Plank, really really happy, and it'll
be in all Oklahoma night here on Fox Sports Radio.
So all of that, I think it is a beautiful
thing that we need something to upset the Apple card here,
Cuz right now I'm sitting in the back going bring
shut up, Homer Buying.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's kind of where I'm at with the tournament. Okay,
so let me ask you this stuff. What is what
is more likely to happen? What's more likely to happen? Okay,
At the end of the game, Danny Hurley challenges the
final result and and tries to get an injunction to
get Yukon to continue to play.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Depends on how it finishes. He would talk to the
one possession game where it becomes a hey, a judgment
called by the officials.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
No, no, no, and check the tape.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's what he got a committee and on of a sudden,
that guy from North Carolina gets involved, like, no, shut up,
your team got sent home.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's got your get out of here. That's an easy one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I mean he loses by fifteen and they're dribbling out
the clock. Does he still try to get an injunction
to get Yukon to want to tournament?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Okay, you guys know what I'm doing tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What's that you do it? Frostberg, I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Steal that guy's boom box. That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
They might have cut it up and put it into
trading cards.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
We're hit with the stunnery.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Mean, he looked like the rizzler.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Who knew a kid, a kid who is a quick
manager at our student manager at McNee.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Assistant too.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I kept tournament later than Danny Hurley. Just think about that,
he could be around more or now. The other point
is this, or does at the end of the game
if they get eliminated, does somebody ask after the game
is over.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Danny Jim Jiff symptom at this point, do you wish
you had taken the Lakers job? Did you see what
Bronny and James did on Thursday? Danny?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Danny, I mean Bronny had seventeen last night. You had,
you'd have Luca.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I mean, I mean it was minus thirty six. They
lost by twenty nine, and nobody played a lak of defense.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But that's okay, Danny.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Do you think that you needed the foresight to to,
you know, maybe make a better decision instead of just
taking a free trip to Los Angeles with your wife
for the weekend. Do you think that that decision could
have been made, made a little bit better?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Danny.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm here in the back right property while he was
out there. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
What would have been funny though, is if Yukon would
have been matched up with McNee State and then he
walks over with a baseball bat. If they were to
beat miss McNee State and he smashes that guy's boombach ah,
Why are you going.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
To violence right away? Why want to go violence?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Kid?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was healthy? Amir Con nothing happened to him.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It would have been a great I mean, it's like
you smashing a guitar on stage.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
The funny thing is how many people you think are
when they hear you know, amir Con the last couple
of days ago. Wait it is he the jam of
the Steelers. Wait a minute, wait what he's wait? Wait
the guy and his dad owns the Jaguars, right, But look,
we will have time to get into everything going on
(04:37):
with the NCAA tournament again. Yukon with a five point
lead over Oklahoma right now, Oregon Liberty, Michigan State Brian
still getting set to tip off Illinois Xavier just underway.
That's fourteen fourteen, early in the first half. However, news
that has just come into the Fox Sports Radio newsroom
within the last fifteen minutes, we have lost an absolute
(04:59):
legend at as heavyweight champion. George Foreman has passed away
at the age of seventy six. Again, this news is
about fifteen or twenty minutes old. George Foreman, who had
a career of careers. The guy had three or four careers.
He put that much living into seventy six years. Heavyweight
champion early in his career after retirement, came back, won
(05:20):
the heavyweight championship at the age of forty five, stick
a pin in that for a couple of minutes, then
started up a multi million dollar grill industry, in which
he sold a bunch of years ago for like two
hundred million dollars. George Foreman had some kind of life
and some kind of career and a participant in some
(05:41):
of the most famous boxing matches of all time, whether
it was George Frasier or Muhammad Ali on an absolute legend.
George Foreman passed away earlier today at the age of
seventy six.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
All the rights to use his name, all the sons
named George, and so many commercials pitchman and obviously go
back to some of the most iconic moments in our
in our boxing lexicon and in history, you know, from
the wide world of sports. You know, all the montages
that we'd get through the years. And I think, I
(06:12):
mean the second Act happened because I guess hul Cogan
didn't didn't want to be part of the Foreman.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
What became the Foreman Grill would.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Have been his, yes, Instead, it made George Foreman a
couple of hundred million dollars and gave him a whole
second act where he was showing up giving you recipes
of how to how to cook and lean and lean
and mean and drain the fat from your burgers, all
of that stuff. I mean, just insanity, but just a
huge life man, just a a larger than life figure
(06:41):
that was a fixture on our television sets and on
our sporting world. What five decades, six decades. When it's
all said and done, just amazing run.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You think about the lasting popularity to him, and of
course you think of George Foreman, and there's one one
of the most famous sports phrases that comes to mind
that people have been saying for going on fifty years now.
They have been I mean, this is this is you know,
this is like in Giants Win the Pennant and famous
calls Vince Scully.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know, uh, this is an amazing.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Lasting popularity that is still gonna go on for years
after because people still say, down goes Fraser. When George
Foreman knocked out Joe Fraser and one of the most
famous boxing matches ever and we got Howard Cosell. You
want to know where it came from? Here people say
down goes Fraser all the time. This is where it
came from.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Angie Dundee, Ali's trainer right next to me. It's saying
that you may hear him goes Crazia, downs goes Crazier,
Down goes Frazier. Heavyweight champion is taking the mandatory ATel
and Foreman is as poys. This can be in a
new Joe Cornah.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
There was. I mean, that's why I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
The down goes French been part of my life for
you know, for since I was fifteen years old. People
saying down goes anybody named Fraser that you knew who
fell down, you would say, down goes Fraser. People's I mean,
it's it's it's part of the American lexicon is so famous.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Howard Cosell's call of that moment, Well, that's it.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Though, right he became ubiquitous you used it did if
you push somebody down and you said, down goes Fraser.
I just wanted to give the extra love to George
Junior George, the third also known as Monk George, the
fourth known as Big Wheel George, the fifth known as
Red and George, the sixth known as for whatever reason,
Little Joey.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay well, you know, hey, all the kids are named George.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I kind of I remember. I respect that it was.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's it was a little weird, but I'm like, okay,
all right, I have everybody's you know, Okay, Like I like,
you gotta have nicknames, right. You can't keep saying George
the Second, George the third, Georgia four unless you just
call him by numbers, hey A three two four.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Three six, or you know, like, well, my older brother
is Arthur James the fourth, so they sometimes called them.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Four A J four so had J four.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
But you just go through. I mean, it was a minister.
The man lived many lives. There's no question. He was.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
One of the clips that that I saw and that
came up very fast, was a proposed television show that
he was going to do about going to Disney, and
he had a whole deal.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
With them for like a travel channel kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So just uh, I don't know, it's it's another one
of those legends that's been with me. I mean, obviously
his biggest moments boxing wives were like right as I
came into this world, but it's just been part of
our history and that phraseology, uh, and that product that
launched an industry. George Foreman grill is responsible for billions
(09:50):
of dollars consumption.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
No, I mean not even just Thellennials.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Just know him as the grill guyntil tonight. Until I
told you tonight, you had no idea he as a boxer.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yes, he was the guy that served me delicious cheeseburgers.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You mean the grill guy. Wait a minute now, yeah, legend.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
But to put him in perspective, now, think about this
for a second, okay, because this is really what gets
lost with the entire life of George Horman. Right, we'll
get into we'll talk about when we were kings coming up,
and yes, we'll get into more of his life. But
this is somebody who retired from boxing in the seventies.
He was done, he physically, he got ill before a fight,
(10:29):
and he didn't think he could fight anymore. He didn't
fight ten years. He didn't fight. Comes out of retirement
at the age of thirty eight, right, This is the
Wilford Brimley line from The Natural. Fellow people, don't start
playing Bali at your age. A retire comes out out
of retirement at the age of thirty eight. I believe
he came out he said in the end, he said, listen,
people thought it was this whole big thing. I was
(10:50):
trying to make money for my boxing academy, like he
was trying to get infusions of cash and stuff. And
he wins the heavyweight title at the age of forty five.
Loses a couple of fights along the way. He had
a great fight against the Vander Holyfield and he went
the distance on same thing with Tommy Morrison. Right, but
he goes and he wins the heavyweight title, beating Michael Moore,
who is twenty six years.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Old at the age of forty five.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Now you think about forty five, Okay, Tom Brady, right,
won the Super Bowl forty five years old. You think
about that level what he did and Tom Britt, Wow,
that's amazing. George Foreman winning the heavyweight championship of the
world at forty five years old, that blows that, like
blows away what Brady did times ten. All Right, you're
(11:36):
talking about a team sport. In football, he has Brady
was the best, right, but obviously Brady's still at a
point where physically he could still get by. This is
you know, a play against younger players, right, absolutely, But
this is georgey in a fight, in a sport that
is all about quickness and reflexes and strength. That you
are not as strong at forty five as you are
(11:58):
when you are twenty five, you are not. You're as
fast as forty five as you are in your twenty
five you're not. And especially for a professional athlete. Now,
Tom Brady doesn't have to worry about what I'm feel
like I'm belittling Brady.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Brady stinks he's overrated. You said that three years anyways.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
But Brady that never had to really worry about his
speed or his strength. He could still throw the foot
bind even near the end. His arm wasn't quite as
strong as it was. But boxing is a sport that
is about, you know, it's about it's about physicality and
quick mental acuity, right, and okay, the mental acuity you
still slow down a little bit. You're not quite as
fast you are in your forty five but okay. But
(12:33):
physically to be able to win the heavyweight championship of
the world when you are forty five years old, that
that may be the most that may be the most
incredible physical accomplishment of my life. That I just don't
spend enough attention thinking about forty five years old. Not
to Tyson came out of retirement in his mid thirties.
(12:54):
It was, man, can you even stay in the ring?
Can you do this? Can you can you still?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Look? You look at some guys. It can't.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Tiger Woods can't even off, you know, in his mid
to late forty he couldn't do it for most of
his forties. And here's foreman, Yeah, I'm gonna win. The
heavy white guy still standing in between the ri in
between rounds like he would do to really psych out
the other guy.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Dude, can't just sit down.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You don't need to sit down, okay, But the heavyweight
championship of the world at forty five years old.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Like that is?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I mean, it happened, and it happened when I was
young enough to see it and young enough to understand
what it was. But I don't know, maybe I needed
to get older, Maybe I needed to get into my
mid forties myself to understand wow. And you know when
I need an extra couple of seconds just to get
up out of a chair, this guy's standing up and
winning the heavyweight championship of the world like that is.
I mean, I don't know that we really understand it
(13:39):
and pay enough attention to give enough respect to that
sort of achievement that George Foreman had.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, it's one of those where it's far enough in
the rear view that maybe just not in the purview,
not part of the daily conversation, and certainly when we
talk boxing. I mean it's not in in the lexicon,
and then not front and center like it was with
those big pay per views or even the weekly wide
(14:07):
world of sports, and that a referenced before right where
we'd get replays and we'd get that in our space.
But boxing is not what it was, right, I mean,
it's been eclipsed by so many other things and that's
really too bad too.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But it's still healthy.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
If you go five box and we want the heavyweights
seventy six wins, five losses, sixty eight knockouts. Owing, by
the way, how does forty five work? Country strong out
of Marshall, Texas and a reach of seventy eight inches
To put that in perspective, demand stood six three.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I can reach across the room and tap you on
the shoulder. Really that Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
That far?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Okay, you can do it that way? I mean, what
an unbelievable life unbelievable career. George Forarn will continue to
remember his life and career throughout the show tonight. But
just think about that heavyweight champion of the world at
forty five years old.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Head you hit it, uh so from the NCAA tournament
right now, Illinois and Xavier.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
It's a four point game.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
The allion I with the lead Bryant and Michigan State
seven to seven with fourteen minutes to go in the
first half, so not a lot of.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Offense in this one.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Meanwhile, you con with an eight point lead over Oklahoma
thirty two to twenty four. As the first half is
winding down, they're still waiting for Liby in Oregon to
get going.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
In a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So while today it was a day in the n
State term where okay, we had a lot of fun. Again,
we didn't have a lot of upsets, but we had.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
The NFL said, we're going to remind you just how
powerful we are, and we're gonna give you a bigger
headline than any other headline from college basketball, and we're
gonna do it with a backup quarterback signing a new deal.
Jameis Winston is now headed to the New York Giants.
So close I know, I know, I said, you're like, yo,
(18:36):
I could see it, I can see it. Yeah, justin
field to Jaboth New York Giants two years, eight million dollars,
but the chance to get up to sixteen million dollars
of guaranteed money. So what does this mean? Because this
is a huge deal now with all of the different
ramifications for quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers visited the Steelers today. We'll
(18:56):
have more on him later on. Russell Wilson will get
to him in the second. But what does this mean
for the Giants? It's pretty easy. They have decided to
choose Jameis Winston over Russell Wilson. They have choke because
they're not going to get Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson.
They have chosen Jameis Winston over Russell Wilson. Jameis Winston
is still dynamic. You saw games last year. He kept
(19:18):
both teams in the game. He has a one to
one touchdown at the interception ratio. I mean yeah, I
mean look, Jamis is someone and the Giants got him
because and you know, they signed him because they felt
better about him than Russell Wilson, which is a really
damning fact about Russell Wilson and his ability to find
a job coming up soon. But for Winston, it's pretty easy.
(19:41):
Will he start for the Giants?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I'm sure they told him, Hey, listen, there'll be some
kind of quarterback derby. Depend we don't know what we're
gonna do exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
A quarterback but.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, he has a chance to start because he does. Now,
what are the Giants gonna do they have him in
is there as their emergency guy to be their quarterback.
They would love to take a quarterback at number three
if a guy is there, but you don't know, And
are the Giants going to be able to move up?
Not if Tennessee and Cleveland both want quarterbacks. So if
the quarterbacks go one two, cam Ward, Schado or Sanders,
(20:13):
the Giants aren't reaching for another guy at three. They
did it for Daniel Jones and look how that worked out.
So if there, if a quarterback is there for them
at three, they will take one. They will take Sanders,
they will take cam Ward. I am sure Sanders wants
to be a Giant. You know, for a long time
they seem like they were a really good match. And
then you know, Sanders may be falling through the draft
a little bit. But for a while, you know, that
seemed like that was going to be the match. Sanders
(20:35):
even said at the Senior Bowl, Hey, I'll be playing
in this Cowboys stadium in a few months, you know, Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well that means lets me go to the Giants. But
if they don't get him.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
The Giants will surely take a quarterback early in the
second round where there will be a lot of guys
out there. We keep saying the same names, but they'll
be there. Whether it's McCord or Jackson Darter or quin
Ewers or Jaln Milroe, they will take one of those guys.
So it's gonna be Winston going into the season, either
Winston and Shadoor Sanders and Sanders will play when he's ready,
(21:05):
or it's gonna be Jameis Winston and Jalen Milroe or
Jameis Winston and Kyle McCord or James Winston and Jackson Dart,
whatever it's going to be, and when when that quarterback
is ready, they will take over. So for the Giants,
it's actually pretty simple. The big part is Russell Wilson.
But now things are pretty simple for the Giants, And
in the end maybe they're realizing, well, if we do this,
(21:25):
you know, we would kind of have an in with
the Manning family, and if we're really really bad, we
can just have Eli keep telling Arched just how great
the Giants organization is. And there's gonna be a new
GM and a new head coach next year. You could
pick him if you want to, just tell us who
you want. I'll tell the guys that's.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
WHOMAR will pick him.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You go there and you just take over there, my nephew,
go ahead and go do it.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
That'll happen too.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No, I appreciate the Hey, this doesn't preclude them from
still bringing in Rogers or Wilson.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
And then I scratched my head.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I saw that report. I'm like, okay, that would be
really interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Not even the Steelers would do that. And I could
see the Steelers doing that, but not even the Steelers
would do that.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Two years, eight million dollars, Jordan Schultz saying that it
could be worth up to sixteen in incentives. A couple
of things that were pretty fun with this start spreading
the news and the W and news is capitalized like he's.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Eating W's, so that's good.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
The other the when he was part of the Fox
screw running around asking questions at the Super Bowl and
asking Sakuon Barkley who should sign him in free agency,
he goes, I think the Giants need a quarterback right now.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
There we go. But yeah, okay, great, I'll done, I'll
get there. I'm all good. But as we've talked about
all along.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
As desperate as teams get to want to take a quarterback,
there's no outside of cam Ward, and then there's noise
about shudor Sander, whether you like him or don't you
like his personality. The disinformation, and you know it, attempts
to smear is probably too strong a word, but cloud
(22:55):
the evaluations, perhaps for draft purposes to trade up, to
be able to get in to a spot to get him.
But they're not guys that you're considering, saying all right,
they're coming right in and we're turning everything around immediately,
which always to me says, all right, let me trade
back for the team that is desperate to get that
guy in camp, get a couple more picks, and build
(23:16):
the infrastructure, because how many times do we see good
young quarterbacks come in and there's nothing around them, so
they suffer they have a bad offensive line, even if
they have some nice skill position playing. Oh wait, I'm
talking about the Bears. Look what I did there. But
for Jameis Winston, look veteran guy, curious locker room. He
(23:39):
seems like an affable chap that everybody gets along with.
But you know, this is a nice little band age.
You're not expecting him to come in and win a
ton of games. As you say, he one for you,
one for me, one for you, one for me.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
At least it's.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Interesting, yes, at least if you lose. You look, hey,
we lost thirty four to thirty one. Winston had three
touchdowns and three picks and one picks.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
So wait, are you talking about the banging.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's not like saying, hey, we lost seventeen thirteen. Our
quarterback was seven for twenty one with an interception, Like,
I mean, you know, at.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Least you'll lose fun if you lose with Jameis Winston.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
No, that's true, and he's gonna be great with quotes
he and Brian Dable. That'll be fun to watch. Let's
see the reaction after a game ending interception. Now we're
this kid at where Shane's kid at.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
The bigger part of this. And we talked about this,
I think three weeks ago. So now welcome to everybody
to the conversation. If you listen to the show, hey,
you're in. You're in with us, and you understand, you
know you're in. You're an insider. But now watch how
this gets picked up. Because we said three weeks ago. Hey,
wait a minute, Russell Wilson, his career might be over. Yeah, okay,
(24:53):
because the Giants held the key to everything. They held
the key to the rest of his career. If the
Giants weren't going to sign him, where is he going
to go? Because two teams need a quarterback, right Pittsburgh
and the Giants down to Cleveland need a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Sure, we'll get to them in a second. And han't
got a Super Bowl champion on the staff.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And he did, he did visit the Browns. Give me
a guy that just won the Super Bowl, got it.
But the Giants held the key. If they didn't sign
Russell Wilson, who is going to you know, he's not
going back to Pittsburgh and we you know, and even
today the door officially got closed on that like like
like he was he was still had a chance to
go back.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
They would have signed him all ready if they wanted him,
but they didn't. So if the.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Giants didn't sign Russell Wilson, where was he going to go?
And the Giants didn't seem like they were that interested,
because again, the Giants could have had Russell Wilson for
a long time, especially knowing that Rogers may not pick them.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
You know, you got to get.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Somebody going into the season because you could get stuck, right,
you could be the team going in where hey we
picked third, We met to have that quarterback and maybe
too early to grab a guy in the second round
and give him the starting job. He might need a year,
might need Jordan Love year or whatever it is to
get going and get ready.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
So we understand that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So we have to have somebody and knowing full well,
the Giants had that impetus and they still didn't sign
Russell Wilson. What did that tell you? We told you
three weeks ago his career might be over. Now where's
the landing spot. Where's the landing spot? Because yes, he
went to go visit the Browns, But are the Browns
really gonna sign him. They just traded for Kenny Pickett,
so they have the backup quarterback who can play until
(26:27):
their number one overall pick is ready, because they're gonna
take a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
At number two.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I mean, they've been seemed to be locked in with
cam Ward, but you never know.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Now the Titans might do something. They might take a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But if they go quarterback at one, sure as hell,
the Browns are going quarterback at two because this is
where you get a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You have the problem with de Sean Watson's salary.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You're not getting a quarterback anywhere else, right, So here's
your chance to get the second best quarterback on the board,
and you get him at number two. Don't have to
worry about any type of situation salary wise, because hey,
we can't afford guys because we're paying Jamis Winston.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Here, it is built in. You got him in the draft.
So the Browns are going quarterback at two. The Browns
are not gonna bring in a guy to be the
rival and to beat out and keep that number two
guy on the bench, which is what Russell Wilson would be.
He would be a threat to do that. Kenny Pickett
is a threat to play just until until Shador Sanders
or cam Ward is ready. Like Nick, no bones about.
(27:22):
He understands, Hey, I have a chance to maybe flash
a little bit here. Look good in the preseason. Maybe
I'll start the first couple of games. And if I
start the first couple of games, maybe I play well enough.
Eventually I know that I'm gonna give the job to
somebody else. But I keep my name out there for
the other thirty teams in the NF or the other
twenties in the twenty nine. Team's gonna have been trained
a couple of times. So that works, right. It works
(27:43):
for Kenny Pickett. That's your quarterback room, Kenny Pickett and
either cam wardor Shaud or Sanders. It doesn't work with
Russell Wilson, one of these guys, because one of these
guys is gonna play gonna player. Wilson's not gonna sign
there and it's not gonna be a serious thing. So
I don't know how much Russell Wilson meeting with the
Browns was just hey, sure we'll meet with because we
never know. But in the end, where you find me
(28:04):
the landing spot for Russell Wilson where he can start,
there is none. There's no landing spot for Wilson where
he can start. So yeah, and he's not if he
goes somewhere to back up. That's not what future Hall
of Famous quarterbacks do, And that's who Russell Wilson is.
He's a future Hall of Famous quarterback. They don't sit
on the sidelines for a year and back up somebody else.
So really, again, understand we may have seen Wilson play
(28:27):
his last.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Down in the NFL. That is a very very big possibility.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Just always remember there's a lot of injury possibility that's
out there as we get back to work.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Did we get into our OTAs.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And into camp and everything else. So Russell's just got
to keep doing the high knees and keep the arm loose.
Kenny Pickett isn't exactly breaking the bank. So if Miles
Garrett with his new contract and you look at that
roster in Cleveland and think you want to be competitive
this year, and then perhaps cam Ward gets a mulligan,
(29:02):
and you do bring in a guy like Russell Wilson
bought all of that to say right now. Yeah, I mean,
there's no dance chair that's obvious for him, and nor
should there be. I didn't think he was terribly exciting
in the games that they won. Just because the offense
moves slightly better with him than it did with Justin
Fields when he was with the Steelers didn't mean that
(29:24):
he was necessarily the right fit, because we saw how
it fizzled down the stretch. Now you bring in DK Metcalf,
a guy he used to work with who all you
want to do is throw the ball deep. Now it
looks like Russell Wilson I could play. I can play
quarterback for that team, right, like they asked Tennis Leary
and draft day, can you.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Coach this team? Yeah? I can coach this team. Can
you quarterback this team? Wait?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I just need to throw it deep to either Pickens
or to DK Yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But yeah, Jamis Winston gets the gig, and we're still
looking at Hall of Fame ish quarterbacks on the outs
waiting for someone to turn an ankle or a knee
were times, but you know, and and.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The thing is, it's stuck for Russell Wilson because what
does he do?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Does he do the whole? Hey, maybe I got one
more run in me.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
And and I try and wait and be that desperate
guy that hey, if some if somebody is injured, I'll wait,
like that, does he really do that?
Speaker 3 (30:18):
And then if he goes unsigned, he.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Retires in the off season or something like that, Like
it's a weird. When you're a certain caliberer quarterback, it's
that's hard to do.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah, but you haven't been that caliber for a couple
of years. But he still thinks he is.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
But that's but that's why you don't hang him up,
because you still think with the right opportunity, right, But the.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
League is telling you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
The league is telling you there's no opportunity for The
league is telling you you are done.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Nobody wants you. You're The league is saying you're done.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, but we we've seen uh doors open and chaos
rain uh to where guys suddenly get a call. Hell,
the Vikings are potentially bringing uh bringing Ryan Tannehill in.
That's one of the jobs that may still be in
the offing. He didn't play at all last year.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Wait till the.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Team, Wait till the team trades for will Levis before
getting Russell book Man.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Between Shanahan, O'Connell, Stefanski, there's a bunch of guys that
think they're Wizards and can fix all the wrong that
is there with will Levis.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Tractor Supply knows that a winning season takes practice, team work,
and a can do attitude. Thankfully, when you have a
neighbor like Tractor Supply, team work comes easy. Whether you're
Karen for Pets, Chickens or a few acres, our team
members will help you succeed season after season tractor supply
for life out here, but just get ready. That could
be the last thing we've seen last year, the end
(31:39):
of the career of Russell Wilson. Ty not to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
a man who's been called the Jamis Winston.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
For every score he tells you that's a correct score,
he tells you one that's incorrect.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Now it's Steve to.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Say, don't even joke about that. It's one w after
another here.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You're just eaten. W's at the updates.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
That remains one of the oddest bits of sideline behavior
we have ever seen captured on show. New York Giants
did sign quarterback Jamis Winston. The Saints sine wide receiver
Brandon Cooks. The Chargers signed tight end Tyler Conklin. Free
agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers visited the Steelers. Former defensive end
Kenneth Simms passed away at the age of sixty five.
(32:22):
He was drafted number one overall by New England in
nineteen eighty two from the University of Texas and former
heavyweight boxing champ George Foreman has died at the age
of seventy six. He originally won the title in nineteen
seventy three, and then at an advanced age again in
nineteen ninety four. This is a guy who not only
was an Olympic gold medalist. Eventually as a pro he
(32:43):
was forty and oh with wins over Joe Frazier and
Ken Norton, and then suffered his first loss in the
famed Rummel and the Jungle in Zaire to Muhammad Ali
in nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
His win loss record was up.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
To sixty nine and two when he was in his
early forties, fighting again and Fody Vander Holyfield for the
title and lost a twelve round decision. But it wasn't
over there, because he actually won the titles again with
a shocking knockout of Michael Moore in the tenth round
(33:18):
at nearly the age of forty six in nineteen ninety four.
Foreman's final pro record was seventy six and five. Again,
George Foreman passing away at the age of seventy six.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You say seventy six and five, and I think wasn't
that Nick Saban's record at Alabama.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Find Seemingly there was a stat that somebody in the
SEC Network pointed out that even if you threw out
Nick Sabans wins and losses from the national title seasons,
he would still have a dominant record.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Just completely ignore those.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
Seasons and he was still awesome.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
Well, let's get to the college hoops, because the first
round of the NCAA Men's Tournament ends tonight. We have
four late games going on it's halftime, Connecticut, he's leading
thirty two to twenty six over Oklahoma as the Sooners
are shooting twenty nine percent from the floor. Great start
for the Oregon Ducks, up eighteen to two on Liberty
after five and a half minutes. Liberty with one basket
(34:12):
and four turnovers so far.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Bryant is a.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Head of two seed Michigan State early It's nineteen seventeen,
about seven minutes left in the first half, Spartan shooting
only thirty three percent from the floor, and Illinois late
first half is ahead of Xavier thirty seven thirty three.
Easy victories in the first round for Florida and Maryland
for Iowa State and Duke Arizona advanced easily tonight. Kentucky
(34:39):
a winner, but Memphis is out lost today seventy eight
seventy to twelve seed Colorado State. Marquette is out losing
to ten seed New Mexico seventy five sixty six. Ole
Miss took care of North Carolina, holding on at the
end seventy one sixty four. Baylor started the day with
a win of seventy five seventy two over Mississippi State.
(35:00):
Trees for Alabama and for Saint Mary's and in the NBA.
Among the winners Houston a victory at Miami one two
ninety eight, Fred van Vliet thirty seven points and guys.
The first round of the NCAA Women's Tournament is going on.
This is a national tournament game. Duke a winner eighty
six to twenty five against Lehigh.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Did they play Syracuse Men's tea?
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Lehigh didn't have double digit scoring in any of the
four quarters eighty six to twenty five the final as
the Mountain Hawks of Lehigh finished with nine baskets and
thirty turnovers in the forty minute game.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Back to You, Thank You, Steve. Spread was only twenty
nine in that one.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's an easy w The Jason Smith Show with Mike

Speaker 4 (38:27):
Hold on, I gotta say this might be one of
his alternate programming options for old snell Ty shirt.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
This is I think this is Alex Tischer trying to
do something completely irreverent and opposite of what's actually going
on on the air.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
I think it's his effort to be Andy Kaufman.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, but it's kind of coming across like this is
how Keanu Reeves would do it.
Speaker 8 (38:48):
He's just gonna put a needle on a record pretty soon.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Sure, all right, birthday suit and ties?

Speaker 7 (39:41):
I'll say no, though you'll say no, it's not a

Speaker 3 (39:45):
No, okay, but you think people have fallen in love
with ghosts?
Speaker 8 (39:47):
Maybe vice?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Okay, all right, I mean if there's the movie Ghost,
I mean, but Patrick Swayze was.
Speaker 8 (39:54):
I think that goes to it's not exactly a stranger.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
I mean, I don't know if there's pottery on the
show or not. I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
There's also Sam Donald on the Jets Bench.

don't like ghosts.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Legos are cool, Okay, he's just being that guy. So
ghost Lusters part reality, part docky show about people will
fall in love with ghosts?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Is not a show, true.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
I have a Boson who's made money of the book
series checking out graveyards and corned houses and stuff. You
could probably get him in a production company together.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
That could easily be a show, that could easily be
a show subculture absolutely, or a movie on pay per
view Ghost Lusters, Well that is Pard twelve. Sure.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Coming up next, we got a big story out of
the NFL.

two of the NCAA Tournament. Mike Harmon's Oklahoma Sooners, who
(01:01):
he is wearing Oklahoma gear tonight. He's as shoeing as
purple shorts for Oklahoma gear because he wants the Sooners
to send Danny Hurly home. However, it's Ukon with a
three point lead nearly eight minutes left in the first half.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Here.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I know you, I know you are dying to send
the best coach in all of d one home for
the season.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Well, because I want to finish the week with you
here on Fox Sports Radio or extended family, Frostburg and
Ty Shirt and Steve Desager. I want to send us
out with the bang, because you know he will not
go meekly into the good night if they're losing in
the second half pissed off. If they lose, he might
give a word or two of encouragement to Oklahoma, and
(01:42):
then he'll be pissed off, and then that'll make our
guy after us, Chris Plank, really really happy, and it'll
be in all Oklahoma night here on Fox Sports Radio.
So all of that, I think it is a beautiful
thing that we need something to upset the Apple card here,
Cuz right now I'm sitting in the back going bring
shut up, Homer Buying.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's kind of where I'm at with the tournament. Okay,
so let me ask you this stuff. What is what
is more likely to happen? What's more likely to happen? Okay,
At the end of the game, Danny Hurley challenges the
final result and and tries to get an injunction to
get Yukon to continue to play.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Depends on how it finishes. He would talk to the
one possession game where it becomes a hey, a judgment
called by the officials.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
No, no, no, and check the tape.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's what he got a committee and on of a sudden,
that guy from North Carolina gets involved, like, no, shut up,
your team got sent home.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's got your get out of here. That's an easy one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I mean he loses by fifteen and they're dribbling out
the clock. Does he still try to get an injunction
to get Yukon to want to tournament?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Okay, you guys know what I'm doing tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
What's that you do it? Frostberg, I'm gonna.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Steal that guy's boom box. That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
They might have cut it up and put it into
trading cards.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
We're hit with the stunnery.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Mean, he looked like the rizzler.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Who knew a kid, a kid who is a quick
manager at our student manager at McNee.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Assistant too.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I kept tournament later than Danny Hurley. Just think about that,
he could be around more or now. The other point
is this, or does at the end of the game
if they get eliminated, does somebody ask after the game
is over.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Danny Jim Jiff symptom at this point, do you wish
you had taken the Lakers job? Did you see what
Bronny and James did on Thursday? Danny?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Danny, I mean Bronny had seventeen last night. You had,
you'd have Luca.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I mean, I mean it was minus thirty six. They
lost by twenty nine, and nobody played a lak of defense.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But that's okay, Danny.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Do you think that you needed the foresight to to,
you know, maybe make a better decision instead of just
taking a free trip to Los Angeles with your wife
for the weekend. Do you think that that decision could
have been made, made a little bit better?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Danny.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm here in the back right property while he was
out there. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
What would have been funny though, is if Yukon would
have been matched up with McNee State and then he
walks over with a baseball bat. If they were to
beat miss McNee State and he smashes that guy's boombach ah,
Why are you going.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
To violence right away? Why want to go violence?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Kid?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Was healthy? Amir Con nothing happened to him.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It would have been a great I mean, it's like
you smashing a guitar on stage.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
The funny thing is how many people you think are
when they hear you know, amir Con the last couple
of days ago. Wait it is he the jam of
the Steelers. Wait a minute, wait what he's wait? Wait
the guy and his dad owns the Jaguars, right, But look,
we will have time to get into everything going on
(04:37):
with the NCAA tournament again. Yukon with a five point
lead over Oklahoma right now, Oregon Liberty, Michigan State Brian
still getting set to tip off Illinois Xavier just underway.
That's fourteen fourteen, early in the first half. However, news
that has just come into the Fox Sports Radio newsroom
within the last fifteen minutes, we have lost an absolute
(04:59):
legend at as heavyweight champion. George Foreman has passed away
at the age of seventy six. Again, this news is
about fifteen or twenty minutes old. George Foreman, who had
a career of careers. The guy had three or four careers.
He put that much living into seventy six years. Heavyweight
champion early in his career after retirement, came back, won
(05:20):
the heavyweight championship at the age of forty five, stick
a pin in that for a couple of minutes, then
started up a multi million dollar grill industry, in which
he sold a bunch of years ago for like two
hundred million dollars. George Foreman had some kind of life
and some kind of career and a participant in some
(05:41):
of the most famous boxing matches of all time, whether
it was George Frasier or Muhammad Ali on an absolute legend.
George Foreman passed away earlier today at the age of
seventy six.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
All the rights to use his name, all the sons
named George, and so many commercials pitchman and obviously go
back to some of the most iconic moments in our
in our boxing lexicon and in history, you know, from
the wide world of sports. You know, all the montages
that we'd get through the years. And I think, I
(06:12):
mean the second Act happened because I guess hul Cogan
didn't didn't want to be part of the Foreman.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
What became the Foreman Grill would.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Have been his, yes, Instead, it made George Foreman a
couple of hundred million dollars and gave him a whole
second act where he was showing up giving you recipes
of how to how to cook and lean and lean
and mean and drain the fat from your burgers, all
of that stuff. I mean, just insanity, but just a
huge life man, just a a larger than life figure
(06:41):
that was a fixture on our television sets and on
our sporting world. What five decades, six decades. When it's
all said and done, just amazing run.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You think about the lasting popularity to him, and of
course you think of George Foreman, and there's one one
of the most famous sports phrases that comes to mind
that people have been saying for going on fifty years now.
They have been I mean, this is this is you know,
this is like in Giants Win the Pennant and famous
calls Vince Scully.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know, uh, this is an amazing.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Lasting popularity that is still gonna go on for years
after because people still say, down goes Fraser. When George
Foreman knocked out Joe Fraser and one of the most
famous boxing matches ever and we got Howard Cosell. You
want to know where it came from? Here people say
down goes Fraser all the time. This is where it
came from.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Angie Dundee, Ali's trainer right next to me. It's saying
that you may hear him goes Crazia, downs goes Crazier,
Down goes Frazier. Heavyweight champion is taking the mandatory ATel
and Foreman is as poys. This can be in a
new Joe Cornah.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
There was. I mean, that's why I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
The down goes French been part of my life for
you know, for since I was fifteen years old. People
saying down goes anybody named Fraser that you knew who
fell down, you would say, down goes Fraser. People's I mean,
it's it's it's part of the American lexicon is so famous.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Howard Cosell's call of that moment, Well, that's it.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Though, right he became ubiquitous you used it did if
you push somebody down and you said, down goes Fraser.
I just wanted to give the extra love to George
Junior George, the third also known as Monk George, the
fourth known as Big Wheel George, the fifth known as
Red and George, the sixth known as for whatever reason,
Little Joey.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay well, you know, hey, all the kids are named George.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I kind of I remember. I respect that it was.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's it was a little weird, but I'm like, okay,
all right, I have everybody's you know, Okay, Like I like,
you gotta have nicknames, right. You can't keep saying George
the Second, George the third, Georgia four unless you just
call him by numbers, hey A three two four.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Three six, or you know, like, well, my older brother
is Arthur James the fourth, so they sometimes called them.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Four A J four so had J four.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
But you just go through. I mean, it was a minister.
The man lived many lives. There's no question. He was.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
One of the clips that that I saw and that
came up very fast, was a proposed television show that
he was going to do about going to Disney, and
he had a whole deal.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
With them for like a travel channel kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So just uh, I don't know, it's it's another one
of those legends that's been with me. I mean, obviously
his biggest moments boxing wives were like right as I
came into this world, but it's just been part of
our history and that phraseology, uh, and that product that
launched an industry. George Foreman grill is responsible for billions
(09:50):
of dollars consumption.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
No, I mean not even just Thellennials.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Just know him as the grill guyntil tonight. Until I
told you tonight, you had no idea he as a boxer.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yes, he was the guy that served me delicious cheeseburgers.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You mean the grill guy. Wait a minute now, yeah, legend.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
But to put him in perspective, now, think about this
for a second, okay, because this is really what gets
lost with the entire life of George Horman. Right, we'll
get into we'll talk about when we were kings coming up,
and yes, we'll get into more of his life. But
this is somebody who retired from boxing in the seventies.
He was done, he physically, he got ill before a fight,
(10:29):
and he didn't think he could fight anymore. He didn't
fight ten years. He didn't fight. Comes out of retirement
at the age of thirty eight, right, This is the
Wilford Brimley line from The Natural. Fellow people, don't start
playing Bali at your age. A retire comes out out
of retirement at the age of thirty eight. I believe
he came out he said in the end, he said, listen,
people thought it was this whole big thing. I was
(10:50):
trying to make money for my boxing academy, like he
was trying to get infusions of cash and stuff. And
he wins the heavyweight title at the age of forty five.
Loses a couple of fights along the way. He had
a great fight against the Vander Holyfield and he went
the distance on same thing with Tommy Morrison. Right, but
he goes and he wins the heavyweight title, beating Michael Moore,
who is twenty six years.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Old at the age of forty five.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Now you think about forty five, Okay, Tom Brady, right,
won the Super Bowl forty five years old. You think
about that level what he did and Tom Britt, Wow,
that's amazing. George Foreman winning the heavyweight championship of the
world at forty five years old, that blows that, like
blows away what Brady did times ten. All Right, you're
(11:36):
talking about a team sport. In football, he has Brady
was the best, right, but obviously Brady's still at a
point where physically he could still get by. This is
you know, a play against younger players, right, absolutely, But
this is georgey in a fight, in a sport that
is all about quickness and reflexes and strength. That you
are not as strong at forty five as you are
(11:58):
when you are twenty five, you are not. You're as
fast as forty five as you are in your twenty
five you're not. And especially for a professional athlete. Now,
Tom Brady doesn't have to worry about what I'm feel
like I'm belittling Brady.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Brady stinks he's overrated. You said that three years anyways.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
But Brady that never had to really worry about his
speed or his strength. He could still throw the foot
bind even near the end. His arm wasn't quite as
strong as it was. But boxing is a sport that
is about, you know, it's about it's about physicality and
quick mental acuity, right, and okay, the mental acuity you
still slow down a little bit. You're not quite as
fast you are in your forty five but okay. But
(12:33):
physically to be able to win the heavyweight championship of
the world when you are forty five years old, that
that may be the most that may be the most
incredible physical accomplishment of my life. That I just don't
spend enough attention thinking about forty five years old. Not
to Tyson came out of retirement in his mid thirties.
(12:54):
It was, man, can you even stay in the ring?
Can you do this? Can you can you still?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Look? You look at some guys. It can't.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Tiger Woods can't even off, you know, in his mid
to late forty he couldn't do it for most of
his forties. And here's foreman, Yeah, I'm gonna win. The
heavy white guy still standing in between the ri in
between rounds like he would do to really psych out
the other guy.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Dude, can't just sit down.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You don't need to sit down, okay, But the heavyweight
championship of the world at forty five years old.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Like that is?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I mean, it happened, and it happened when I was
young enough to see it and young enough to understand
what it was. But I don't know, maybe I needed
to get older, Maybe I needed to get into my
mid forties myself to understand wow. And you know when
I need an extra couple of seconds just to get
up out of a chair, this guy's standing up and
winning the heavyweight championship of the world like that is.
I mean, I don't know that we really understand it
(13:39):
and pay enough attention to give enough respect to that
sort of achievement that George Foreman had.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, it's one of those where it's far enough in
the rear view that maybe just not in the purview,
not part of the daily conversation, and certainly when we
talk boxing. I mean it's not in in the lexicon,
and then not front and center like it was with
those big pay per views or even the weekly wide
(14:07):
world of sports, and that a referenced before right where
we'd get replays and we'd get that in our space.
But boxing is not what it was, right, I mean,
it's been eclipsed by so many other things and that's
really too bad too.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But it's still healthy.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
If you go five box and we want the heavyweights
seventy six wins, five losses, sixty eight knockouts. Owing, by
the way, how does forty five work? Country strong out
of Marshall, Texas and a reach of seventy eight inches
To put that in perspective, demand stood six three.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I can reach across the room and tap you on
the shoulder. Really that Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
That far?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Okay, you can do it that way? I mean, what
an unbelievable life unbelievable career. George Forarn will continue to
remember his life and career throughout the show tonight. But
just think about that heavyweight champion of the world at
forty five years old.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
On the air.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Head you hit it, uh so from the NCAA tournament
right now, Illinois and Xavier.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
It's a four point game.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
The allion I with the lead Bryant and Michigan State
seven to seven with fourteen minutes to go in the
first half, so not a lot of.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Offense in this one.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Meanwhile, you con with an eight point lead over Oklahoma
thirty two to twenty four. As the first half is
winding down, they're still waiting for Liby in Oregon to
get going.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
In a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So while today it was a day in the n
State term where okay, we had a lot of fun. Again,
we didn't have a lot of upsets, but we had.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
A lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
The NFL said, we're going to remind you just how
powerful we are, and we're gonna give you a bigger
headline than any other headline from college basketball, and we're
gonna do it with a backup quarterback signing a new deal.
Jameis Winston is now headed to the New York Giants.
So close I know, I know, I said, you're like, yo,
(18:36):
I could see it, I can see it. Yeah, justin
field to Jaboth New York Giants two years, eight million dollars,
but the chance to get up to sixteen million dollars
of guaranteed money. So what does this mean? Because this
is a huge deal now with all of the different
ramifications for quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers visited the Steelers today. We'll
(18:56):
have more on him later on. Russell Wilson will get
to him in the second. But what does this mean
for the Giants? It's pretty easy. They have decided to
choose Jameis Winston over Russell Wilson. They have choke because
they're not going to get Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson.
They have chosen Jameis Winston over Russell Wilson. Jameis Winston
is still dynamic. You saw games last year. He kept
(19:18):
both teams in the game. He has a one to
one touchdown at the interception ratio. I mean yeah, I
mean look, Jamis is someone and the Giants got him
because and you know, they signed him because they felt
better about him than Russell Wilson, which is a really
damning fact about Russell Wilson and his ability to find
a job coming up soon. But for Winston, it's pretty easy.
(19:41):
Will he start for the Giants?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I'm sure they told him, Hey, listen, there'll be some
kind of quarterback derby. Depend we don't know what we're
gonna do exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
A quarterback but.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, he has a chance to start because he does. Now,
what are the Giants gonna do they have him in
is there as their emergency guy to be their quarterback.
They would love to take a quarterback at number three
if a guy is there, but you don't know, And
are the Giants going to be able to move up?
Not if Tennessee and Cleveland both want quarterbacks. So if
the quarterbacks go one two, cam Ward, Schado or Sanders,
(20:13):
the Giants aren't reaching for another guy at three. They
did it for Daniel Jones and look how that worked out.
So if there, if a quarterback is there for them
at three, they will take one. They will take Sanders,
they will take cam Ward. I am sure Sanders wants
to be a Giant. You know, for a long time
they seem like they were a really good match. And
then you know, Sanders may be falling through the draft
a little bit. But for a while, you know, that
seemed like that was going to be the match. Sanders
(20:35):
even said at the Senior Bowl, Hey, I'll be playing
in this Cowboys stadium in a few months, you know, Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well that means lets me go to the Giants. But
if they don't get him.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
The Giants will surely take a quarterback early in the
second round where there will be a lot of guys
out there. We keep saying the same names, but they'll
be there. Whether it's McCord or Jackson Darter or quin
Ewers or Jaln Milroe, they will take one of those guys.
So it's gonna be Winston going into the season, either
Winston and Shadoor Sanders and Sanders will play when he's ready,
(21:05):
or it's gonna be Jameis Winston and Jalen Milroe or
Jameis Winston and Kyle McCord or James Winston and Jackson Dart,
whatever it's going to be, and when when that quarterback
is ready, they will take over. So for the Giants,
it's actually pretty simple. The big part is Russell Wilson.
But now things are pretty simple for the Giants, And
in the end maybe they're realizing, well, if we do this,
(21:25):
you know, we would kind of have an in with
the Manning family, and if we're really really bad, we
can just have Eli keep telling Arched just how great
the Giants organization is. And there's gonna be a new
GM and a new head coach next year. You could
pick him if you want to, just tell us who
you want. I'll tell the guys that's.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
WHOMAR will pick him.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You go there and you just take over there, my nephew,
go ahead and go do it.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
That'll happen too.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No, I appreciate the Hey, this doesn't preclude them from
still bringing in Rogers or Wilson.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
And then I scratched my head.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
I saw that report. I'm like, okay, that would be
really interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Not even the Steelers would do that. And I could
see the Steelers doing that, but not even the Steelers
would do that.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Two years, eight million dollars, Jordan Schultz saying that it
could be worth up to sixteen in incentives. A couple
of things that were pretty fun with this start spreading
the news and the W and news is capitalized like he's.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Eating W's, so that's good.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
The other the when he was part of the Fox
screw running around asking questions at the Super Bowl and
asking Sakuon Barkley who should sign him in free agency,
he goes, I think the Giants need a quarterback right now.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
There we go. But yeah, okay, great, I'll done, I'll
get there. I'm all good. But as we've talked about
all along.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
As desperate as teams get to want to take a quarterback,
there's no outside of cam Ward, and then there's noise
about shudor Sander, whether you like him or don't you
like his personality. The disinformation, and you know it, attempts
to smear is probably too strong a word, but cloud
(22:55):
the evaluations, perhaps for draft purposes to trade up, to
be able to get in to a spot to get him.
But they're not guys that you're considering, saying all right,
they're coming right in and we're turning everything around immediately,
which always to me says, all right, let me trade
back for the team that is desperate to get that
guy in camp, get a couple more picks, and build
(23:16):
the infrastructure, because how many times do we see good
young quarterbacks come in and there's nothing around them, so
they suffer they have a bad offensive line, even if
they have some nice skill position playing. Oh wait, I'm
talking about the Bears. Look what I did there. But
for Jameis Winston, look veteran guy, curious locker room. He
(23:39):
seems like an affable chap that everybody gets along with.
But you know, this is a nice little band age.
You're not expecting him to come in and win a
ton of games. As you say, he one for you,
one for me, one for you, one for me.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
At least it's.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Interesting, yes, at least if you lose. You look, hey,
we lost thirty four to thirty one. Winston had three
touchdowns and three picks and one picks.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
So wait, are you talking about the banging.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's not like saying, hey, we lost seventeen thirteen. Our
quarterback was seven for twenty one with an interception, Like,
I mean, you know, at.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Least you'll lose fun if you lose with Jameis Winston.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
No, that's true, and he's gonna be great with quotes
he and Brian Dable. That'll be fun to watch. Let's
see the reaction after a game ending interception. Now we're
this kid at where Shane's kid at.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
The bigger part of this. And we talked about this,
I think three weeks ago. So now welcome to everybody
to the conversation. If you listen to the show, hey,
you're in. You're in with us, and you understand, you
know you're in. You're an insider. But now watch how
this gets picked up. Because we said three weeks ago. Hey,
wait a minute, Russell Wilson, his career might be over. Yeah, okay,
(24:53):
because the Giants held the key to everything. They held
the key to the rest of his career. If the
Giants weren't going to sign him, where is he going
to go? Because two teams need a quarterback, right Pittsburgh
and the Giants down to Cleveland need a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Sure, we'll get to them in a second. And han't
got a Super Bowl champion on the staff.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And he did, he did visit the Browns. Give me
a guy that just won the Super Bowl, got it.
But the Giants held the key. If they didn't sign
Russell Wilson, who is going to you know, he's not
going back to Pittsburgh and we you know, and even
today the door officially got closed on that like like
like he was he was still had a chance to
go back.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
They would have signed him all ready if they wanted him,
but they didn't. So if the.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Giants didn't sign Russell Wilson, where was he going to go?
And the Giants didn't seem like they were that interested,
because again, the Giants could have had Russell Wilson for
a long time, especially knowing that Rogers may not pick them.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
You know, you got to get.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Somebody going into the season because you could get stuck, right,
you could be the team going in where hey we
picked third, We met to have that quarterback and maybe
too early to grab a guy in the second round
and give him the starting job. He might need a year,
might need Jordan Love year or whatever it is to
get going and get ready.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
So we understand that.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
So we have to have somebody and knowing full well,
the Giants had that impetus and they still didn't sign
Russell Wilson. What did that tell you? We told you
three weeks ago his career might be over. Now where's
the landing spot. Where's the landing spot? Because yes, he
went to go visit the Browns, But are the Browns
really gonna sign him. They just traded for Kenny Pickett,
so they have the backup quarterback who can play until
(26:27):
their number one overall pick is ready, because they're gonna
take a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
At number two.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I mean, they've been seemed to be locked in with
cam Ward, but you never know.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Now the Titans might do something. They might take a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But if they go quarterback at one, sure as hell,
the Browns are going quarterback at two because this is
where you get a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You have the problem with de Sean Watson's salary.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You're not getting a quarterback anywhere else, right, So here's
your chance to get the second best quarterback on the board,
and you get him at number two. Don't have to
worry about any type of situation salary wise, because hey,
we can't afford guys because we're paying Jamis Winston.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Here, it is built in. You got him in the draft.
So the Browns are going quarterback at two. The Browns
are not gonna bring in a guy to be the
rival and to beat out and keep that number two
guy on the bench, which is what Russell Wilson would be.
He would be a threat to do that. Kenny Pickett
is a threat to play just until until Shador Sanders
or cam Ward is ready. Like Nick, no bones about.
(27:22):
He understands, Hey, I have a chance to maybe flash
a little bit here. Look good in the preseason. Maybe
I'll start the first couple of games. And if I
start the first couple of games, maybe I play well enough.
Eventually I know that I'm gonna give the job to
somebody else. But I keep my name out there for
the other thirty teams in the NF or the other
twenties in the twenty nine. Team's gonna have been trained
a couple of times. So that works, right. It works
(27:43):
for Kenny Pickett. That's your quarterback room, Kenny Pickett and
either cam wardor Shaud or Sanders. It doesn't work with
Russell Wilson, one of these guys, because one of these
guys is gonna play gonna player. Wilson's not gonna sign
there and it's not gonna be a serious thing. So
I don't know how much Russell Wilson meeting with the
Browns was just hey, sure we'll meet with because we
never know. But in the end, where you find me
(28:04):
the landing spot for Russell Wilson where he can start,
there is none. There's no landing spot for Wilson where
he can start. So yeah, and he's not if he
goes somewhere to back up. That's not what future Hall
of Famous quarterbacks do, And that's who Russell Wilson is.
He's a future Hall of Famous quarterback. They don't sit
on the sidelines for a year and back up somebody else.
So really, again, understand we may have seen Wilson play
(28:27):
his last.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Down in the NFL. That is a very very big possibility.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Just always remember there's a lot of injury possibility that's
out there as we get back to work.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Did we get into our OTAs.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And into camp and everything else. So Russell's just got
to keep doing the high knees and keep the arm loose.
Kenny Pickett isn't exactly breaking the bank. So if Miles
Garrett with his new contract and you look at that
roster in Cleveland and think you want to be competitive
this year, and then perhaps cam Ward gets a mulligan,
(29:02):
and you do bring in a guy like Russell Wilson
bought all of that to say right now. Yeah, I mean,
there's no dance chair that's obvious for him, and nor
should there be. I didn't think he was terribly exciting
in the games that they won. Just because the offense
moves slightly better with him than it did with Justin
Fields when he was with the Steelers didn't mean that
(29:24):
he was necessarily the right fit, because we saw how
it fizzled down the stretch. Now you bring in DK Metcalf,
a guy he used to work with who all you
want to do is throw the ball deep. Now it
looks like Russell Wilson I could play. I can play
quarterback for that team, right, like they asked Tennis Leary
and draft day, can you.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Coach this team? Yeah? I can coach this team. Can
you quarterback this team? Wait?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I just need to throw it deep to either Pickens
or to DK Yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But yeah, Jamis Winston gets the gig, and we're still
looking at Hall of Fame ish quarterbacks on the outs
waiting for someone to turn an ankle or a knee
were times, but you know, and and.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The thing is, it's stuck for Russell Wilson because what
does he do?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Does he do the whole? Hey, maybe I got one
more run in me.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
And and I try and wait and be that desperate
guy that hey, if some if somebody is injured, I'll wait,
like that, does he really do that?
Speaker 3 (30:18):
And then if he goes unsigned, he.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Retires in the off season or something like that, Like
it's a weird. When you're a certain caliberer quarterback, it's
that's hard to do.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah, but you haven't been that caliber for a couple
of years. But he still thinks he is.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
But that's but that's why you don't hang him up,
because you still think with the right opportunity, right, But the.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
League is telling you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
The league is telling you there's no opportunity for The
league is telling you you are done.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Nobody wants you. You're The league is saying you're done.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, but we we've seen uh doors open and chaos
rain uh to where guys suddenly get a call. Hell,
the Vikings are potentially bringing uh bringing Ryan Tannehill in.
That's one of the jobs that may still be in
the offing. He didn't play at all last year.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Wait till the.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Team, Wait till the team trades for will Levis before
getting Russell book Man.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Between Shanahan, O'Connell, Stefanski, there's a bunch of guys that
think they're Wizards and can fix all the wrong that
is there with will Levis.
Speaker 1 (31:18):

and a can do attitude. Thankfully, when you have a
neighbor like Tractor Supply, team work comes easy. Whether you're
Karen for Pets, Chickens or a few acres, our team
members will help you succeed season after season tractor supply
for life out here, but just get ready. That could
be the last thing we've seen last year, the end
(31:39):
of the career of Russell Wilson. Ty not to find
out what's trending in the wide world of sports from
a man who's been called the Jamis Winston.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
For every score he tells you that's a correct score,
he tells you one that's incorrect.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Now it's Steve to.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
Say, don't even joke about that. It's one w after
another here.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
You're just eaten. W's at the updates.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
That remains one of the oddest bits of sideline behavior
we have ever seen captured on show. New York Giants
did sign quarterback Jamis Winston. The Saints sine wide receiver
Brandon Cooks. The Chargers signed tight end Tyler Conklin. Free
agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers visited the Steelers. Former defensive end
Kenneth Simms passed away at the age of sixty five.
(32:22):
He was drafted number one overall by New England in
nineteen eighty two from the University of Texas and former
heavyweight boxing champ George Foreman has died at the age
of seventy six. He originally won the title in nineteen
seventy three, and then at an advanced age again in
nineteen ninety four. This is a guy who not only
was an Olympic gold medalist. Eventually as a pro he
(32:43):
was forty and oh with wins over Joe Frazier and
Ken Norton, and then suffered his first loss in the
famed Rummel and the Jungle in Zaire to Muhammad Ali
in nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
His win loss record was up.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
To sixty nine and two when he was in his
early forties, fighting again and Fody Vander Holyfield for the
title and lost a twelve round decision. But it wasn't
over there, because he actually won the titles again with
a shocking knockout of Michael Moore in the tenth round
(33:18):
at nearly the age of forty six in nineteen ninety four.
Foreman's final pro record was seventy six and five. Again,
George Foreman passing away at the age of seventy six.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You say seventy six and five, and I think wasn't
that Nick Saban's record at Alabama.
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Find Seemingly there was a stat that somebody in the
SEC Network pointed out that even if you threw out
Nick Sabans wins and losses from the national title seasons,
he would still have a dominant record.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Just completely ignore those.
Speaker 8 (33:47):
Seasons and he was still awesome.
Speaker 7 (33:50):
Well, let's get to the college hoops, because the first
round of the NCAA Men's Tournament ends tonight. We have
four late games going on it's halftime, Connecticut, he's leading
thirty two to twenty six over Oklahoma as the Sooners
are shooting twenty nine percent from the floor. Great start
for the Oregon Ducks, up eighteen to two on Liberty
after five and a half minutes. Liberty with one basket
(34:12):
and four turnovers so far.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Bryant is a.
Speaker 7 (34:15):
Head of two seed Michigan State early It's nineteen seventeen,
about seven minutes left in the first half, Spartan shooting
only thirty three percent from the floor, and Illinois late
first half is ahead of Xavier thirty seven thirty three.
Easy victories in the first round for Florida and Maryland
for Iowa State and Duke Arizona advanced easily tonight. Kentucky
(34:39):
a winner, but Memphis is out lost today seventy eight
seventy to twelve seed Colorado State. Marquette is out losing
to ten seed New Mexico seventy five sixty six. Ole
Miss took care of North Carolina, holding on at the
end seventy one sixty four. Baylor started the day with
a win of seventy five seventy two over Mississippi State.
(35:00):
Trees for Alabama and for Saint Mary's and in the NBA.
Among the winners Houston a victory at Miami one two
ninety eight, Fred van Vliet thirty seven points and guys.
The first round of the NCAA Women's Tournament is going on.
This is a national tournament game. Duke a winner eighty
six to twenty five against Lehigh.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
Did they play Syracuse Men's tea?
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Lehigh didn't have double digit scoring in any of the
four quarters eighty six to twenty five the final as
the Mountain Hawks of Lehigh finished with nine baskets and
thirty turnovers in the forty minute game.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Back to You, Thank You, Steve. Spread was only twenty
nine in that one.
Speaker 1 (35:42):

Speaker 4 (38:27):
Hold on, I gotta say this might be one of
his alternate programming options for old snell Ty shirt.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
This is I think this is Alex Tischer trying to
do something completely irreverent and opposite of what's actually going
on on the air.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
I think it's his effort to be Andy Kaufman.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, but it's kind of coming across like this is
how Keanu Reeves would do it.
Speaker 8 (38:48):
He's just gonna put a needle on a record pretty soon.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Sure, all right, birthday suit and ties?

Speaker 7 (39:41):
I'll say no, though you'll say no, it's not a

Speaker 8 (39:47):

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Okay, all right, I mean if there's the movie Ghost,

don't like ghosts.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Legos are cool, Okay, he's just being that guy. So
ghost Lusters part reality, part docky show about people will
fall in love with ghosts?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Is not a show, true.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
I have a Boson who's made money of the book
series checking out graveyards and corned houses and stuff. You
could probably get him in a production company together.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
That could easily be a show, that could easily be
a show subculture absolutely, or a movie on pay per
view Ghost Lusters, Well that is Pard twelve. Sure.
Speaker 1 (41:11):

the NFL.
