a rolling at the bottom of the hour, and then
of course I mentioned it Trash Talking Tuesday. Rob Parker,
I want to know America wants to know, the world
wants to know because we are international. Who would you
(01:28):
trash today on deadspin dot com. I trusted the NCAA
for picking Michigan and giving Michigan a spot in the
dance Chris seventeen and fourteen. I just thought they got it.
Ten was tough, though, No, but I think they got
a well reputation. They ain't got no reputation yet. Well,
last year the admite it to the elite and all that.
(01:50):
They admitted to the Elite eight. And it's a business
where they where they going, Chris, do you know where
they're playing out in the first round where they're playing
Michigan in the Midwest somewhere they're playing in Indiana, Yes,
Michigan travels. I mean, they're gonna sell some tickets. So
I just wonder about it. I don't. I didn't. I
just didn't think they deserved a spot. Let's just keep
(02:12):
it like that, all right, all right? Yeah, I know
the Big ten was really tough, and I don't have
I don't have. I mean, this was they're not one
of the best sixty how many is it now? Sixty
eight teams? I mean, it's crazy, it's gonna be a
hundred teams before we're you know, we're old and gray,
or I should say before I'm olding the gray. Um.
(02:34):
Excuse me anyway? All right, Rob, you wrote a column
today only speaking of dan spin dot com. Were you
right for you wrote a column to Day this week? Yeah?
I'm sorry. Earlier this week? Uh, why aren't black men
getting the big NFL TV analysts gigs? And it just
(02:58):
kind of you can summarize it and then we'll discuss. Well, Chris,
we're seeing unbelievable contracts for god right, and the one
thing they all have in common, they're highly paid. I'm
talking about the super paid TV analysts. We just saw
(03:18):
Troy Aikman, after twenty years on fox Head to ESPN
to do Monday night football, Chris, five years, ninety two
million dollars. Did you hear me? Is this on? Can
you hear me? That's way more than he ever dreamed
about making? Are you kidding? Hey? And I'm not mad
(03:41):
at Troy Aikman. I'm not, dude. You know how much
your words, Chris, You're worth what someone's willing to pay you.
So I'm not mad at Troy Ayman. And then you
know Drew Breeds is gonna take over for Chris collins Worth.
You know, al Michaels is already rumored to go to Amazon.
They're making a change. Mike Rico's gonna do Sunday Night
Football replacing al Michaels and Drew Brees. Right, who bumped
(04:06):
Rodney Harrison out of the studio, Chris and the studio
show right with Tony Dungee. He's going to now move
into the broadcast booth with Tarco. They've done some games together.
And then the other job. We know, Tony Romo's making
eighteen million dollars a year, basically a million dollars a game, right,
seventeen games, he's making like eighteen million dollars. My biggest
(04:27):
issue is we see a lot of black players on television, Chris, ESPN,
NFL Network, all of that. They're all over right for
those jobs, yep, all over, but they're not in that
coveted big chair, the number two on the national Games.
And the only guy I do remember, and I'm talking
(04:49):
about what it was prominent was OJ back in the eighties.
He did it for two years. Chris, do you remember
that when OJ was on and it didn't one offseason.
Didn't he take the base out of his voice? Yes?
Really did, right, he took the pace out of his voice.
He was a little too. I wasn't feeling that. No, okay,
(05:10):
but that I'm not feeling changing your tone of voice.
No you should, Yes, be who you are, but be
who you are. And then Chris use your regular voice
ESPN do listen, brothers, use your regular voice. I'm telling y'all, no, no,
no doubt. But then Chris of late ESPN Monday Night
(05:32):
Football became downgraded. Would you admit that, like the like
they didn't put into the this this past year, the
last couple of years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They then they
took him out of the boot and they put him
on a tutor. Remember that, like like like they were
doing all kinds of crazy stuff. But but those guys
(05:54):
Booger and Lewis Riddick, they were not making eighteen million
dollars Chris to be color analyst. I got a problem
with why there hasn't been to this point a black
analyst on the major primetime broadcast. And I know the
pregame show. Hey you got James Brown, Hey you got
(06:16):
Michael Strahan. I'm I'm not saying that they're on any opportunities,
but the big paying jobs and the biggest ones have
so far not had that guy in there. And here's
my example. I get Troy Aikman. He was with the
Dallas Dynasty, Chris, they won three out of four Super Bowls.
All that, I get it, but he didn't play by itself.
(06:38):
Emmtt Smith was on that team, and I know Emmett
wasn't the greatest broadcaster. He tried it, he wasn't good
at it. But Michael Irvin was on that team as well,
and Michael Irvin is a damn good broadcaster entertaining. He's
maybe maybe you might call it like a poor man's barkley. Yes, Chris,
he has such a personality in my right, and he
(07:01):
knows the game, he sounds great all the other stuff,
but but he's never been in that position. So that
was really what the column was was about why we
haven't seen a guy there. And then you could say, well,
it's only quarterbacks, that's all. They only want quarterbacks. It
wasn't always like that. Frank GiB wasn't a quarterback. Chris
(07:25):
Collinsworth is a wide receiver, thank you. And John Madden
was a coach. Um, who else am I thinking? Uh?
From the Raiders? Oh God, John Gruden was a coach,
So you can't use that that. It's that it's always
been quarterback, even Pact Summer Rock. Chris was a kicker,
(07:45):
so so it's not based on that. And yet we've
never seen other than OJ for those couple of years
on Monday Night football in the eighties, And I'm not
ignoring him and a cup of coffee and sweet role
that Lewis Redick Riddick got and Booger McFall and other
than that, we've been shut out. And I'm talking about
black guys who have played in the league have been
shut out of that job. And I'm still waiting for
(08:07):
them to pay a black man eighteen million dollars to
call eight seventeen football game. Look, you make some good points,
h And Kyrie's got sixty how much time? Eight minute,
eight and a half minutes left? I don't. I don't
think he's coming back in. I think that's a franchise record.
They might have left him in long enough to do that, Um,
(08:28):
but they're up thirty seven, So he just drilled a
three in somebody's face for sixty. So I think he's
a good night. He kind of yeah, he kind of yeah,
I get it, I mean, and he kind of pointed
to the bench. I think they all knew, um, get
him out. But great night by Kyrie Irving. Um. But
to your point, I think you make some good points, um,
(08:52):
because those are the money that they're throwing out is
humongous and other than O. J. Simpson, you're right, nobody
blacks in that roleause it's only a handful of guys. Okay,
let me let me let me make this point. One
last one. I'm sorry because I left it out, and
this is the big one. This is the one that
(09:12):
tipped me to write this column. Kirk Herbstreet got the
Amazon job. Chris never played in the NFL. He's mister
college football. And even in that spot, they gave it
to somebody who didn't even play in the league. And
I'm not saying that doesn't mean he can't talk about
the game or analyze the game. And he great. He played.
(09:33):
He was a quarterback in Ohio State. I know his resume. Okay,
so I'm not saying he's not qualified. But even that job, Chris,
even that job with Amazon, went to another white guy.
Like I said, you make some good points, you make
some interesting points. Um, I'll tell you this, though, I
(09:53):
would rather have Mike Terrico because he's gonna be doing
it right, He's replacing Alt Michael. I'd rather have him
in there. Not that it has to only be one
so I'm not saying that, but I'd rather have Mike
Terico in there than another athlete. Now let me ask
you this. Mike Terrico says he's not black, So does
he count when when he gets stopped by the cops.
(10:14):
I bet you they think he's black? And he said
that decades ago. Is he still rolling with that? He'salian?
With that? What is his dad Italian? And he doesn't
say that? Now, yes he does. So he doesn't say
he's black, he's Italian. I'm saying he's black. I bet
(10:35):
you his birth CERTIFICATET says black. I don't know, but
I'm I'm betting. But anyway, what was that Rob Gi
Rob Parker this way back when I think he was
in or just says he said he claims not to
be black. Okay, so I guess I guess we can't
(10:56):
claim to Terrico all right, But my point is I'd
rather a black person in that seat who wasn't an athlete,
because it shouldn't have to be. Oh, the black guys
or athletes, and obvious examples in Stephen As. You know,
there's a lot of non black athletes on there, but
it's a ton of black athletes, you know, and and
(11:21):
and there obviously. I mean you look at ESPN the
guys talking football, ton of them are black. Look at
our station, ton of them, Like black men are all
over the sports landscape in front of the cameras. And
now to your point, Rob, they're not making you know,
(11:44):
the eighteen nineteen or seventeen million dollars a year that
these other guys are making, and you're working much harder. Oh, you,
you're working way, Chris, might be the best jobs in
the country. Where you work eighteen quitch, you work seventeen
weekends a year and you make a million dollars a week.
(12:06):
You like, here's the I think you don't have to
pay those guys that much, and they do, right, But
I just think there's so many brothers on television. Like
I said, you make some interesting points that they're none
in that role. But there's so many black men on
television calling sports, including football, including baseball. Rob To be honest,
(12:32):
you probably gotta at least nationally. Now, I'm sure it's
not the case locally, but when you look at national games,
it's in terms of you know, the Fox Show and
all that, you got more blacks in the studio percentage
wise than on the field. Right. So I just think,
you know, I'm not about calling everything racism. I'm obviously
(12:54):
outspoken about it when I believe it exists. I don't
know that that's what this is. I mean, you got
the NBC Sunday Night count Down Show, Tony Dungee, Tarico,
Rodney Harrison, ain't nobody million dollars and out here and
next why I said it's something that you could You know,
I'm not ripping you for it, um, But Stephen A. Smith,
(13:16):
outside of those guys who's making more than Stephen A Smith.
You know that in that role, Stephen A Smith works
ten times. He's hard, he does. But I'm saying there's
a lot of the same guys that work as hard
as Steven don't get that money too. Steven has been
he's put in the work, he's on and he doesn't
(13:37):
deserve it. I'm just saying the highest paid due to
ESPN outside of calling those games is a brother. Yeah.
But but but it's definitely a different workload, that's a
different profile. That's all I'm saying. But you and I
and so do a lot of people and there that
aren't black, that aren't getting that money. I'm just saying,
(13:58):
I look at it close, sleep before I'm ready to
just rant about it. Um. But you know, like I said,
I think you make interesting points. And I will throw
this out right, Drew Brees, I don't Drew is okay.
I like I think Troy Aikman is excellent. I think
Tony Romo is very good. Drew is okay. Like Drew,
(14:21):
Drew hasn't blown me away on you know, NBC count
NFL Countdown, and so that's something I don't know what
he's making. Um, but that's something you look at and say, man,
you know, is that is that fair? So, like I said,
I think you make some interesting points. But um, I
(14:44):
think he's going no, No, I'm just saying, I mean
it's the brothers all over the place, Man calling or
Nash in front of the camera calling games or at least,
uh you know, on talking sports with that way. All right,
Kyrie's record Sitting Night is over. But should it have
(15:04):
been even bigger? We'll get into that next. It's The

(17:21):
in the night? And indeed it is? Or did I
should say? Because he's done for the night. Kyrie Irving
as the Brooklyn Nets lead one fifty to one oh six.
Now what you guys, Yeah, one fifty to one oh
six against the Orlando Magic. It might be over. I'm
(17:44):
as forty five seconds left, as far as Mike Chris
has probably been over for about ten minutes. Roll. Apparently
it's not two seconds left. One fifty to one oh eight,
and Kyrie Irving in a franchise. Let me named the
names Julius, Doctor, Jay Irving, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd wasn't
(18:10):
a big score? Kevin Durant, Heck he's there, James Harden,
Kyrie Irving? Who else? Rob? Who am I missing? Paul Pierce,
that older Kevin Garn that older Joe Johnson. Uh, some
other great ones. I'm sure that I'm missing. But Kyrie
(18:30):
Irving broke the franchise record with a sixty piece thirty
one from the field, eight for twelve from three, rob
twelve or thirteen from the free throw line, also six
rebounds and four dimes for good measures, and four steals.
So he did it all in thirty five minutes. Robbed
(18:53):
sixty points for Kyrie Irving. I'm not surprised, Chris. He
is a talented man. It's a shame that he hasn't
been able to play all year, and we've seen these
kind of moments. It's things like this that just make
you shake your head and just wish he could have just,
(19:14):
you know, done what was good for everybody or the
team or the situation, you know what I mean, especially
considering he's the only guy in the NBA who didn't
get vaccinated. Am I right or wrong? I agree with you?
And it's like asking him to be he's left meat
on the bone. Yeah, now that that's a situation right
there where where just everybody else, you know, was just
(19:37):
this is like sometimes you have to sacrifice for others, Chris,
it ain't always about you, I agree, And in this case,
your teammates right period um. I mean, Rob, there's no
guarantee that this mandate is going to be lifted. And
like carry Kittle said, they're not winning a championship, they're
(20:01):
not getting to the finals with Kyrie playing half the games.
James Harden is not there. So if they and you know,
I mean, they got a rough uphill, you know, they
got a large hill to climb, even with Kyrie. But
(20:21):
just because guys have been away so long, who knows
what's going on with those guys. Chris are so scary
because of how good they are. I get it that
they haven't played enough and all the other issues, you know,
trying to put it together. They're trying to do something
that just hasn't been done often, you know, to be
able to throw a team together that hasn't been fluid
for entire season and then make a run. But the
(20:45):
raw talent of those guys is just scary when you
see these kind of nights. Nuh And they both Duran
and Kyrie you know, Rod, they're in the skill I
mean you hear Duran talk about it all the time. Skills, right,
can you handle? Do you have? What is your offensive package?
Include not just do you average thirty? You know what
(21:09):
I mean? And you're dunking on everybody or you're you know,
you're scoring in one way for the most part, they're
about the package. And both of them have a tremendous win.
Kyrie Irving, Man, that dude is phenomenal. It's just there's
no if stands of us about it, and we've talked
(21:30):
about it. Rob, you get a short time to play
this game, even if you have a long career we're
talking about Tom Brady's forty four. He's forty four. That's
old in sports, but that's young in life. And you'll
get the rest of your life to you know, do
your activism or whatever you want to do. But you
get a short window to play this game, and you
(21:54):
want Kyrie Irving and every player to make the most
out of it. But he's a bad boy, best handle
in NBA history. In my book, I've said that many
a time, many many years. What do you think James
Harden saw a sixty pieces? Like? Well, all I know, Rob,
(22:14):
And like the caller said it too, Harden didn't want
that smoke when Kyrie went at him, Yeah, didn't. He
didn't want it. He could just see it, you know. Um.
I hope they meet in the playoffs because that's when
and I'm not I'm a hardened fan. I think you
know that. I've long been a hardened fan. But he
(22:35):
if they meet the nets in the playoffs, We're gonna
find out what Harden's about. We really are Rob, because
I don't think Kyrie's gonna let him hide. He is
not gonna He's gonna challenge him. Man, Harden's gonna have
to take that challenge and let's see what he does.
And so congratulations to Kyrie Irving terrific night. It looks
(23:04):
like he's one of only two nets ever in the
NBA history. So that wouldn't include Doctor j and Aba
to have multiple fifty point games Durance the other MC.
Kyrie's got four rob four. So not only we talked
about his handle, but he is also a tremendous scorer.
(23:25):
And they had Duran running point a lot tonight, you know,
just handling the ball because they knew how hot Kyrie was.
All right, we're gonna get into this, uh, Trolling a
Rolling with Martin Wis's next, but first, Fox Sports Radio
has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch
all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com
and within the iHeart Radio app. Search f SR to
(23:48):
listen live. This time Patrolling a Rolling with Martin Wiss,
Tom Brady, He's done. I just didn't not have a
Pro Bowl season. It's trolling or rolland that's right, it's
trolling a rolling. I'm Martin Wiss. Hey, hey, Martin Harden,
(24:11):
before you get carried away and go into your thing.
Chris Bussard, when I met this guy, you know he
couldn't even he didn't have two nickels to rub together.
Now he's jet setting all over the world. Christy, you
know where Martin went? Oh? I got you, said, Chris
starting that two nickels to rub together? No, I didn't
(24:32):
have two nickels to rub together. Where did you know
where he went? No? Dubai by I was gonna say.
When you put it that way, it had to be
Dubai Dubai for the women. What'd you go for the weekend?
For a weekend? I went for a whole week, for
a whole week. I was there for like five days
because I feel like you're gonna be there. It's literally
(24:53):
on the other all the way and that tide of
the world from La it's six thirty pm here it was,
it was you're in thirty am there. Wow. I was
like I had to at least get a day to
adjust in a day to get back all nine. Man,
that's good? Is it all that they say it is?
I'll saying this. I had a good time, But to me,
(25:13):
it really gave me the vibes of mid at least
through Vegas without gamble so like. But it's like all
all the same things about Vegas, like a Vegas mixed
with La. So I want to go back over there somewhere.
I don't necessarily could go back to Dubai because it
was just like a place to go spend money and
have fun. I want to go back in four more culture.
But all in all, I'm rolling with Dubai. Let's do it.
(25:40):
See that this is your first calling on rolling you,
so everybody else can up. If Robin Chris liked the
story that I read like gonna drop in your first day,
you roll with that. They don't like you're saying you
still be here if you had one a million dollars,
because I'm sure it wouldn't be here if I had
won a million dollars in this bracket challenge you troll had.
(26:03):
Oh man, hey, hey, hey, I just lived with an
instanbul airport and checked my phone when I saw what
had to be a mistake. Because there's no way that
Tom Brady unretired to come back to the NFL this
after forty days, right. There's plenty of speculation after why,
but an interesting angle is that Brady felt forced to
(26:24):
retire after a porter's shed. He was going to Chris Trolling,
We're rolling your media forced Brady into a forced retirement. Well,
I'm trolling it, oh man, Hey, I do think that
may have played a role, Like he just felt like
I want to a quiet these guys down, or it
needs to be a dressed or he knows the leaks.
(26:46):
Maybe he was a leak, you know, And I don't know.
But the bottom line and the reason I'm trolling it
is because you're one of the greatest leaders in sports history.
I don't care if there was pressure. I don't care
if immediately, if they were demanded an answer or whatever,
like you shouldn't let that pressure you into making a
(27:07):
premature announcement. So that's why I'm trolling it. But it
may have laid the factor's dad said it did. Who knows.
Nothing really seems to make sense about this, so it's possible.
I'm totally trolling it. Oh many. Once again, Tom Brady,
the disingenuous god. You you can't even trust as far
(27:30):
as you could throw him. He put it on his
own website. How did anybody force him into retirement? It
was on his website, his personal website. Nobody made him retire.
He's changed his mind, But don't act like the media
just because they have a false report. If he had
no grounds on retiring, he could have easily said those
(27:52):
reports are false, I'm not retiring, or I haven't made
up my mind yet. But he had it on his
website and then took it down. Stop it, troller rolling
a couple of fox words. Bradio Baseball is back, but
one of the jump stars will not be. Fernando Tatties
broke his rest and will be off for the next
(28:12):
three months. TATIS is one of the best shows to
watch in the show, but Chris trollal rolling injury issue
will keep Tattis from getting to another level. Who I
might be answering with my heart, but I'm gonna say
I'm trolling that. Oh man, Hey, so far it's been
a problem. There's no ins answer buts about it. And
(28:33):
we've seen it happen with great players before later a
little later in his career obviously, but Ken Griffey Jr.
Had you know, still had a great career, but could
have been even way better had injuries not gotten him late.
But I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say the youngster's gonna
get it together and be able to have a full,
(28:54):
healthy career yeah, I'm trolling it. Oh man, hey, hey, hey,
one reason and one reason only. He's only twenty three.
Oh my god, he's got in baseball. He can play
for the next fifteen or sixteen seventeen years. He can
play till he's forty in baseball, he's got plenty of
(29:17):
time to recover. Maybe Chris, he's gotten these bumps and
bruises out of the way and he'll be able because
it happened to Griffy in the middle of his career,
you know what I mean. So maybe he gets done
with these and he moves on. So I'm gonna say
trolling a troller rule on time for one more Yeah,
let's do it quickly, all right, Fox Boards Radio, we
(29:39):
might be looking at a changing of the guard in
the Western Conference. We're seeing teams like Memphis the top
of leaderboards in mid March, and a lot of that
has a lot of that has to do with John
Morint and the things he goes around the court. However,
it is the end poll ranked Luca as the best
young point guards to build around, and quite honestly, it
(30:00):
was a pretty big gap between first and second place,
where John Moran with that in second place, Chris trolling,
are rolling Luca is the better player to build around
over Job. I'm rolling with. I love joh He's obviously
more exciting, but I think Luca's a better player. Luca
don Chich has taken a La Clippers team with Paul
(30:27):
George and Kawhi Leonard to seven games twice and did
put work on both of them. And those are two
of the best defenders in the NBA, and he has
had his way with them. He's leading, you know, obviously
Dallas by himself, and memphisis thirteen and two and they
(30:47):
had to blow out win the night without John Morant.
So I'm going with lucas great as Jah is and Luca,
by the way against Kawhi and Paul George thirty three points,
nine and half times and nine rebounds a game. So
I'm going with Luca. I'm rolling with it as well.
(31:09):
And Job, there's no disrespect to him, but Luca is
a difference maker and we've seen it. You just gotta
stop choking down those three to one leads against the Likes.
That's the only thing done it. Twice they were a
three to one twice, all right, Chris, I'm rolling with it.
Colleague Kevin Wild I've been earlier the drummer, and if
he's the best show in the league, to me, the best,
(31:30):
the best show. Who went off? You think he's a
better player? All right? We got night for night. If
I had to pick a game to watch, it's probably
gonna Bember. That's different, right, Yeah, I thought we were.

(33:06):
your teeth, Reggy, I don't know whether to smile. Lets
you kick a field? Go man? All right, Chris, let's
kick it off with the Pablo in Wyoming. You're on
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you trash
in Pablo for some caller? Let me just start with that. Also, um,
correctly you guys, you guys have a Latina. I am,
(33:28):
but man, I'm so pumped up. You guys have a
Latina as your pa. Um. Anyway, our producers back to kid,
what rob g doesn't count? Racist? Um? Well, anyway, I'm
gonna trash. Well, I'm gonna segue into what you wrote
(33:49):
in your article about the discriminatory hirings. Yes, um, it's
it's become a social issue though, forget your sports. I
mean I think I mentioned it to you on social
media about the entertainment industry, um not having has never
had a minority host for late night TV on the
(34:10):
network level, Yes, syndicated, he was, Yeah, but yeah, but
you mean ever since Jack Parr all the way to now,
no minorities and not even women too, no doubt. Yeah,
I agree with that, all right, Pablo, That's that's cool.
You're right, no doubt about it. How about Robin Ontario.
(34:33):
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who
you're trashing? Hello? Rob? Yeah? Oh, Tim, we got the
wrong name. Who you trashing? Tim? Listen, I gotta get
to talk about Chest. I am trashing the Lakers relationship
with Lebron. This is a perfect time in the off
(34:57):
season to trade and get rid of them. Break up.
It is time. It's so much vanity in this relationship.
He is using you guys. He's openly flirting with other
teams publicly during the All Star break, and he said
he will be available in the future for other teams.
It's time. Yes, he's dropping fifty against bad defenses. Yes,
(35:20):
he's averaging thirty when when the games is not competitive
or he's getting all his points in garbage time. This
is the time to break up with him. This is
where teams will think he's still hot and oh, maybe
we'll trade him, treat for him. Yes, Lakers, do it.
Get some self respect and do it. Finally, all right,
you go, man, Let's go with Sergio and El Paso.
(35:42):
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you
trash and Sergio? So Chris and Rob. He got a
great man having a great Tuesday always. But I'm my
commotion here, man, So I'm winging it. But Kyle Shanahan
and John Lynch, I'm trashing both of you. We're still
having Jimmy g on your twenty on his twenty seven
(36:04):
million dollars caps nd on the books the day before
the league year starts. You're not fooling anyone. You should
have taken the fourth or third round pick you may
have been offered months ago. And really there's an argument
you should have just traded him a year ago and
let trade to develop. But that's neither here nor there.
We're here now and we need the cap space, so
you better cut him or trade him for a bag
(36:26):
of chips in a sweet roll. Just trade him because
he needs to be off the books. Seriously, there you go, thanks, sir,
Joe appreciate it in a sweet role, I know, a
little bit, no, a cup of coffee in a sweet role.
How about Kevin in Culver City. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you're trashing Kevin? What's
(36:47):
up Fellers? Hey, I'm just gonna be really detailed, exorrful
with this, Rod Polinka. I hate to do it, but
when you have a trade on the table for Buddy
Hill to your former client, you know what he's capable
of doing A step below Clay Thompson as far as
the shooter is concerned. With Lebron James and Anthony Davis.
You need the spacing and you don't make that trade.
(37:08):
I gotta trash you. That's the issue with the Lakers.
There's no floor spacing. Guys are sagging off, and then
you trade all of that for Westbrook. Your depth, Kuzma,
KCP harrowd. You could at least got Ruey Hotsima back
from Washington. You trade all that for Westbrook, and that's
the issue. You don't let a player's strong arm you
like a d and Lebronda, you say, hey, thank you.
(37:29):
I appreciate your insightful information, but we're going with Buddy Hill.
This is better for us in the long running. You're
going to see the results. That's what the best gms do.
They're not Sony PlayStation GM. Rob you want a championship,
But come on, man, have some respect for yourself and
make the trade for Buddy Hill. That was on the
table with Luke Wallen and the Kings. They Toldy mest
his whole season, but they torpedoed it. Come on, ros Hey,
(37:56):
I know we're running out on time. I don't know
if we're gonna have time, but no, no, no no, we're
not going on anymore. But I would say, Rob G,
the idea that Rob G, Rob G, have you been
whitewashed that much that people don't even know that your
people don't never think of him is Mexican? I know
what's happened to your heritage, Rob, I don't know. It's
(38:18):
very similar to the people who think that Rob doesn't
like black quarterbacks, the same thing where it's Raven with
I know it was, you know, I apologize for that,
Rob G, for that called keep it like peace.

of course I mentioned it Trash Talking Tuesday. Rob Parker,
I want to know America wants to know, the world
wants to know because we are international. Who would you
(01:28):
trash today on deadspin dot com. I trusted the NCAA
for picking Michigan and giving Michigan a spot in the
dance Chris seventeen and fourteen. I just thought they got it.
Ten was tough, though, No, but I think they got
a well reputation. They ain't got no reputation yet. Well,
last year the admite it to the elite and all that.
(01:50):
They admitted to the Elite eight. And it's a business
where they where they going, Chris, do you know where
they're playing out in the first round where they're playing
Michigan in the Midwest somewhere they're playing in Indiana, Yes,
Michigan travels. I mean, they're gonna sell some tickets. So
I just wonder about it. I don't. I didn't. I
just didn't think they deserved a spot. Let's just keep
(02:12):
it like that, all right, all right? Yeah, I know
the Big ten was really tough, and I don't have
I don't have. I mean, this was they're not one
of the best sixty how many is it now? Sixty
eight teams? I mean, it's crazy, it's gonna be a
hundred teams before we're you know, we're old and gray,
or I should say before I'm olding the gray. Um.
(02:34):
Excuse me anyway? All right, Rob, you wrote a column
today only speaking of dan spin dot com. Were you
right for you wrote a column to Day this week? Yeah?
I'm sorry. Earlier this week? Uh, why aren't black men
getting the big NFL TV analysts gigs? And it just
(02:58):
kind of you can summarize it and then we'll discuss. Well, Chris,
we're seeing unbelievable contracts for god right, and the one
thing they all have in common, they're highly paid. I'm
talking about the super paid TV analysts. We just saw
(03:18):
Troy Aikman, after twenty years on fox Head to ESPN
to do Monday night football, Chris, five years, ninety two
million dollars. Did you hear me? Is this on? Can
you hear me? That's way more than he ever dreamed
about making? Are you kidding? Hey? And I'm not mad
(03:41):
at Troy Aikman. I'm not, dude. You know how much
your words, Chris, You're worth what someone's willing to pay you.
So I'm not mad at Troy Ayman. And then you
know Drew Breeds is gonna take over for Chris collins Worth.
You know, al Michaels is already rumored to go to Amazon.
They're making a change. Mike Rico's gonna do Sunday Night
Football replacing al Michaels and Drew Brees. Right, who bumped
(04:06):
Rodney Harrison out of the studio, Chris and the studio
show right with Tony Dungee. He's going to now move
into the broadcast booth with Tarco. They've done some games together.
And then the other job. We know, Tony Romo's making
eighteen million dollars a year, basically a million dollars a game, right,
seventeen games, he's making like eighteen million dollars. My biggest
(04:27):
issue is we see a lot of black players on television, Chris, ESPN,
NFL Network, all of that. They're all over right for
those jobs, yep, all over, but they're not in that
coveted big chair, the number two on the national Games.
And the only guy I do remember, and I'm talking
(04:49):
about what it was prominent was OJ back in the eighties.
He did it for two years. Chris, do you remember
that when OJ was on and it didn't one offseason.
Didn't he take the base out of his voice? Yes?
Really did, right, he took the pace out of his voice.
He was a little too. I wasn't feeling that. No, okay,
(05:10):
but that I'm not feeling changing your tone of voice.
No you should, Yes, be who you are, but be
who you are. And then Chris use your regular voice
ESPN do listen, brothers, use your regular voice. I'm telling y'all, no, no,
no doubt. But then Chris of late ESPN Monday Night
(05:32):
Football became downgraded. Would you admit that, like the like
they didn't put into the this this past year, the
last couple of years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They then they
took him out of the boot and they put him
on a tutor. Remember that, like like like they were
doing all kinds of crazy stuff. But but those guys
(05:54):
Booger and Lewis Riddick, they were not making eighteen million
dollars Chris to be color analyst. I got a problem
with why there hasn't been to this point a black
analyst on the major primetime broadcast. And I know the
pregame show. Hey you got James Brown, Hey you got
(06:16):
Michael Strahan. I'm I'm not saying that they're on any opportunities,
but the big paying jobs and the biggest ones have
so far not had that guy in there. And here's
my example. I get Troy Aikman. He was with the
Dallas Dynasty, Chris, they won three out of four Super Bowls.
All that, I get it, but he didn't play by itself.
(06:38):
Emmtt Smith was on that team, and I know Emmett
wasn't the greatest broadcaster. He tried it, he wasn't good
at it. But Michael Irvin was on that team as well,
and Michael Irvin is a damn good broadcaster entertaining. He's
maybe maybe you might call it like a poor man's barkley. Yes, Chris,
he has such a personality in my right, and he
(07:01):
knows the game, he sounds great all the other stuff,
but but he's never been in that position. So that
was really what the column was was about why we
haven't seen a guy there. And then you could say, well,
it's only quarterbacks, that's all. They only want quarterbacks. It
wasn't always like that. Frank GiB wasn't a quarterback. Chris
(07:25):
Collinsworth is a wide receiver, thank you. And John Madden
was a coach. Um, who else am I thinking? Uh?
From the Raiders? Oh God, John Gruden was a coach,
So you can't use that that. It's that it's always
been quarterback, even Pact Summer Rock. Chris was a kicker,
(07:45):
so so it's not based on that. And yet we've
never seen other than OJ for those couple of years
on Monday Night football in the eighties, And I'm not
ignoring him and a cup of coffee and sweet role
that Lewis Redick Riddick got and Booger McFall and other
than that, we've been shut out. And I'm talking about
black guys who have played in the league have been
shut out of that job. And I'm still waiting for
(08:07):
them to pay a black man eighteen million dollars to
call eight seventeen football game. Look, you make some good points,
h And Kyrie's got sixty how much time? Eight minute,
eight and a half minutes left? I don't. I don't
think he's coming back in. I think that's a franchise record.
They might have left him in long enough to do that, Um,
(08:28):
but they're up thirty seven, So he just drilled a
three in somebody's face for sixty. So I think he's
a good night. He kind of yeah, he kind of yeah,
I get it, I mean, and he kind of pointed
to the bench. I think they all knew, um, get
him out. But great night by Kyrie Irving. Um. But
to your point, I think you make some good points, um,
(08:52):
because those are the money that they're throwing out is
humongous and other than O. J. Simpson, you're right, nobody
blacks in that roleause it's only a handful of guys. Okay,
let me let me let me make this point. One
last one. I'm sorry because I left it out, and
this is the big one. This is the one that
(09:12):
tipped me to write this column. Kirk Herbstreet got the
Amazon job. Chris never played in the NFL. He's mister
college football. And even in that spot, they gave it
to somebody who didn't even play in the league. And
I'm not saying that doesn't mean he can't talk about
the game or analyze the game. And he great. He played.
(09:33):
He was a quarterback in Ohio State. I know his resume. Okay,
so I'm not saying he's not qualified. But even that job, Chris,
even that job with Amazon, went to another white guy.
Like I said, you make some good points, you make
some interesting points. Um, I'll tell you this, though, I
(09:53):
would rather have Mike Terrico because he's gonna be doing
it right, He's replacing Alt Michael. I'd rather have him
in there. Not that it has to only be one
so I'm not saying that, but I'd rather have Mike
Terico in there than another athlete. Now let me ask
you this. Mike Terrico says he's not black, So does
he count when when he gets stopped by the cops.
(10:14):
I bet you they think he's black? And he said
that decades ago. Is he still rolling with that? He'salian?
With that? What is his dad Italian? And he doesn't
say that? Now, yes he does. So he doesn't say
he's black, he's Italian. I'm saying he's black. I bet
(10:35):
you his birth CERTIFICATET says black. I don't know, but
I'm I'm betting. But anyway, what was that Rob Gi
Rob Parker this way back when I think he was
in or just says he said he claims not to
be black. Okay, so I guess I guess we can't
(10:56):
claim to Terrico all right, But my point is I'd
rather a black person in that seat who wasn't an athlete,
because it shouldn't have to be. Oh, the black guys
or athletes, and obvious examples in Stephen As. You know,
there's a lot of non black athletes on there, but
it's a ton of black athletes, you know, and and
(11:21):
and there obviously. I mean you look at ESPN the
guys talking football, ton of them are black. Look at
our station, ton of them, Like black men are all
over the sports landscape in front of the cameras. And
now to your point, Rob, they're not making you know,
(11:44):
the eighteen nineteen or seventeen million dollars a year that
these other guys are making, and you're working much harder. Oh, you,
you're working way, Chris, might be the best jobs in
the country. Where you work eighteen quitch, you work seventeen
weekends a year and you make a million dollars a week.
(12:06):
You like, here's the I think you don't have to
pay those guys that much, and they do, right, But
I just think there's so many brothers on television. Like
I said, you make some interesting points that they're none
in that role. But there's so many black men on
television calling sports, including football, including baseball. Rob To be honest,
(12:32):
you probably gotta at least nationally. Now, I'm sure it's
not the case locally, but when you look at national games,
it's in terms of you know, the Fox Show and
all that, you got more blacks in the studio percentage
wise than on the field. Right. So I just think,
you know, I'm not about calling everything racism. I'm obviously
(12:54):
outspoken about it when I believe it exists. I don't
know that that's what this is. I mean, you got
the NBC Sunday Night count Down Show, Tony Dungee, Tarico,
Rodney Harrison, ain't nobody million dollars and out here and
next why I said it's something that you could You know,
I'm not ripping you for it, um, But Stephen A. Smith,
(13:16):
outside of those guys who's making more than Stephen A Smith.
You know that in that role, Stephen A Smith works
ten times. He's hard, he does. But I'm saying there's
a lot of the same guys that work as hard
as Steven don't get that money too. Steven has been
he's put in the work, he's on and he doesn't
(13:37):
deserve it. I'm just saying the highest paid due to
ESPN outside of calling those games is a brother. Yeah.
But but but it's definitely a different workload, that's a
different profile. That's all I'm saying. But you and I
and so do a lot of people and there that
aren't black, that aren't getting that money. I'm just saying,
(13:58):
I look at it close, sleep before I'm ready to
just rant about it. Um. But you know, like I said,
I think you make interesting points. And I will throw
this out right, Drew Brees, I don't Drew is okay.
I like I think Troy Aikman is excellent. I think
Tony Romo is very good. Drew is okay. Like Drew,
(14:21):
Drew hasn't blown me away on you know, NBC count
NFL Countdown, and so that's something I don't know what
he's making. Um, but that's something you look at and say, man,
you know, is that is that fair? So, like I said,
I think you make some interesting points. But um, I
(14:44):
think he's going no, No, I'm just saying, I mean
it's the brothers all over the place, Man calling or
Nash in front of the camera calling games or at least,
uh you know, on talking sports with that way. All right,
Kyrie's record Sitting Night is over. But should it have
(15:04):
been even bigger? We'll get into that next. It's The

(17:21):
in the night? And indeed it is? Or did I
should say? Because he's done for the night. Kyrie Irving
as the Brooklyn Nets lead one fifty to one oh six.
Now what you guys, Yeah, one fifty to one oh
six against the Orlando Magic. It might be over. I'm
(17:44):
as forty five seconds left, as far as Mike Chris
has probably been over for about ten minutes. Roll. Apparently
it's not two seconds left. One fifty to one oh eight,
and Kyrie Irving in a franchise. Let me named the
names Julius, Doctor, Jay Irving, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd wasn't
(18:10):
a big score? Kevin Durant, Heck he's there, James Harden,
Kyrie Irving? Who else? Rob? Who am I missing? Paul Pierce,
that older Kevin Garn that older Joe Johnson. Uh, some
other great ones. I'm sure that I'm missing. But Kyrie
(18:30):
Irving broke the franchise record with a sixty piece thirty
one from the field, eight for twelve from three, rob
twelve or thirteen from the free throw line, also six
rebounds and four dimes for good measures, and four steals.
So he did it all in thirty five minutes. Robbed
(18:53):
sixty points for Kyrie Irving. I'm not surprised, Chris. He
is a talented man. It's a shame that he hasn't
been able to play all year, and we've seen these
kind of moments. It's things like this that just make
you shake your head and just wish he could have just,
(19:14):
you know, done what was good for everybody or the
team or the situation, you know what I mean, especially
considering he's the only guy in the NBA who didn't
get vaccinated. Am I right or wrong? I agree with you?
And it's like asking him to be he's left meat
on the bone. Yeah, now that that's a situation right
there where where just everybody else, you know, was just
(19:37):
this is like sometimes you have to sacrifice for others, Chris,
it ain't always about you, I agree, And in this case,
your teammates right period um. I mean, Rob, there's no
guarantee that this mandate is going to be lifted. And
like carry Kittle said, they're not winning a championship, they're
(20:01):
not getting to the finals with Kyrie playing half the games.
James Harden is not there. So if they and you know,
I mean, they got a rough uphill, you know, they
got a large hill to climb, even with Kyrie. But
(20:21):
just because guys have been away so long, who knows
what's going on with those guys. Chris are so scary
because of how good they are. I get it that
they haven't played enough and all the other issues, you know,
trying to put it together. They're trying to do something
that just hasn't been done often, you know, to be
able to throw a team together that hasn't been fluid
for entire season and then make a run. But the
(20:45):
raw talent of those guys is just scary when you
see these kind of nights. Nuh And they both Duran
and Kyrie you know, Rod, they're in the skill I
mean you hear Duran talk about it all the time. Skills, right,
can you handle? Do you have? What is your offensive package?
Include not just do you average thirty? You know what
(21:09):
I mean? And you're dunking on everybody or you're you know,
you're scoring in one way for the most part, they're
about the package. And both of them have a tremendous win.
Kyrie Irving, Man, that dude is phenomenal. It's just there's
no if stands of us about it, and we've talked
(21:30):
about it. Rob, you get a short time to play
this game, even if you have a long career we're
talking about Tom Brady's forty four. He's forty four. That's
old in sports, but that's young in life. And you'll
get the rest of your life to you know, do
your activism or whatever you want to do. But you
get a short window to play this game, and you
(21:54):
want Kyrie Irving and every player to make the most
out of it. But he's a bad boy, best handle
in NBA history. In my book, I've said that many
a time, many many years. What do you think James
Harden saw a sixty pieces? Like? Well, all I know, Rob,
(22:14):
And like the caller said it too, Harden didn't want
that smoke when Kyrie went at him, Yeah, didn't. He
didn't want it. He could just see it, you know. Um.
I hope they meet in the playoffs because that's when
and I'm not I'm a hardened fan. I think you
know that. I've long been a hardened fan. But he
(22:35):
if they meet the nets in the playoffs, We're gonna
find out what Harden's about. We really are Rob, because
I don't think Kyrie's gonna let him hide. He is
not gonna He's gonna challenge him. Man, Harden's gonna have
to take that challenge and let's see what he does.
And so congratulations to Kyrie Irving terrific night. It looks
(23:04):
like he's one of only two nets ever in the
NBA history. So that wouldn't include Doctor j and Aba
to have multiple fifty point games Durance the other MC.
Kyrie's got four rob four. So not only we talked
about his handle, but he is also a tremendous scorer.
(23:25):
And they had Duran running point a lot tonight, you know,
just handling the ball because they knew how hot Kyrie was.
All right, we're gonna get into this, uh, Trolling a
Rolling with Martin Wis's next, but first, Fox Sports Radio
has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch
all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com
and within the iHeart Radio app. Search f SR to
(23:48):
listen live. This time Patrolling a Rolling with Martin Wiss,
Tom Brady, He's done. I just didn't not have a
Pro Bowl season. It's trolling or rolland that's right, it's
trolling a rolling. I'm Martin Wiss. Hey, hey, Martin Harden,
(24:11):
before you get carried away and go into your thing.
Chris Bussard, when I met this guy, you know he
couldn't even he didn't have two nickels to rub together.
Now he's jet setting all over the world. Christy, you
know where Martin went? Oh? I got you, said, Chris
starting that two nickels to rub together? No, I didn't
(24:32):
have two nickels to rub together. Where did you know
where he went? No? Dubai by I was gonna say.
When you put it that way, it had to be
Dubai Dubai for the women. What'd you go for the weekend?
For a weekend? I went for a whole week, for
a whole week. I was there for like five days
because I feel like you're gonna be there. It's literally
(24:53):
on the other all the way and that tide of
the world from La it's six thirty pm here it was,
it was you're in thirty am there. Wow. I was
like I had to at least get a day to
adjust in a day to get back all nine. Man,
that's good? Is it all that they say it is?
I'll saying this. I had a good time, But to me,
(25:13):
it really gave me the vibes of mid at least
through Vegas without gamble so like. But it's like all
all the same things about Vegas, like a Vegas mixed
with La. So I want to go back over there somewhere.
I don't necessarily could go back to Dubai because it
was just like a place to go spend money and
have fun. I want to go back in four more culture.
But all in all, I'm rolling with Dubai. Let's do it.
(25:40):
See that this is your first calling on rolling you,
so everybody else can up. If Robin Chris liked the
story that I read like gonna drop in your first day,
you roll with that. They don't like you're saying you
still be here if you had one a million dollars,
because I'm sure it wouldn't be here if I had
won a million dollars in this bracket challenge you troll had.
(26:03):
Oh man, hey, hey, hey, I just lived with an
instanbul airport and checked my phone when I saw what
had to be a mistake. Because there's no way that
Tom Brady unretired to come back to the NFL this
after forty days, right. There's plenty of speculation after why,
but an interesting angle is that Brady felt forced to
(26:24):
retire after a porter's shed. He was going to Chris Trolling,
We're rolling your media forced Brady into a forced retirement. Well,
I'm trolling it, oh man, Hey, I do think that
may have played a role, Like he just felt like
I want to a quiet these guys down, or it
needs to be a dressed or he knows the leaks.
(26:46):
Maybe he was a leak, you know, And I don't know.
But the bottom line and the reason I'm trolling it
is because you're one of the greatest leaders in sports history.
I don't care if there was pressure. I don't care
if immediately, if they were demanded an answer or whatever,
like you shouldn't let that pressure you into making a
(27:07):
premature announcement. So that's why I'm trolling it. But it
may have laid the factor's dad said it did. Who knows.
Nothing really seems to make sense about this, so it's possible.
I'm totally trolling it. Oh many. Once again, Tom Brady,
the disingenuous god. You you can't even trust as far
(27:30):
as you could throw him. He put it on his
own website. How did anybody force him into retirement? It
was on his website, his personal website. Nobody made him retire.
He's changed his mind, But don't act like the media
just because they have a false report. If he had
no grounds on retiring, he could have easily said those
(27:52):
reports are false, I'm not retiring, or I haven't made
up my mind yet. But he had it on his
website and then took it down. Stop it, troller rolling
a couple of fox words. Bradio Baseball is back, but
one of the jump stars will not be. Fernando Tatties
broke his rest and will be off for the next
(28:12):
three months. TATIS is one of the best shows to
watch in the show, but Chris trollal rolling injury issue
will keep Tattis from getting to another level. Who I
might be answering with my heart, but I'm gonna say
I'm trolling that. Oh man, Hey, so far it's been
a problem. There's no ins answer buts about it. And
(28:33):
we've seen it happen with great players before later a
little later in his career obviously, but Ken Griffey Jr.
Had you know, still had a great career, but could
have been even way better had injuries not gotten him late.
But I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say the youngster's gonna
get it together and be able to have a full,
(28:54):
healthy career yeah, I'm trolling it. Oh man, hey, hey, hey,
one reason and one reason only. He's only twenty three.
Oh my god, he's got in baseball. He can play
for the next fifteen or sixteen seventeen years. He can
play till he's forty in baseball, he's got plenty of
(29:17):
time to recover. Maybe Chris, he's gotten these bumps and
bruises out of the way and he'll be able because
it happened to Griffy in the middle of his career,
you know what I mean. So maybe he gets done
with these and he moves on. So I'm gonna say
trolling a troller rule on time for one more Yeah,
let's do it quickly, all right, Fox Boards Radio, we
(29:39):
might be looking at a changing of the guard in
the Western Conference. We're seeing teams like Memphis the top
of leaderboards in mid March, and a lot of that
has a lot of that has to do with John
Morint and the things he goes around the court. However,
it is the end poll ranked Luca as the best
young point guards to build around, and quite honestly, it
(30:00):
was a pretty big gap between first and second place,
where John Moran with that in second place, Chris trolling,
are rolling Luca is the better player to build around
over Job. I'm rolling with. I love joh He's obviously
more exciting, but I think Luca's a better player. Luca
don Chich has taken a La Clippers team with Paul
(30:27):
George and Kawhi Leonard to seven games twice and did
put work on both of them. And those are two
of the best defenders in the NBA, and he has
had his way with them. He's leading, you know, obviously
Dallas by himself, and memphisis thirteen and two and they
(30:47):
had to blow out win the night without John Morant.
So I'm going with lucas great as Jah is and Luca,
by the way against Kawhi and Paul George thirty three points,
nine and half times and nine rebounds a game. So
I'm going with Luca. I'm rolling with it as well.
(31:09):
And Job, there's no disrespect to him, but Luca is
a difference maker and we've seen it. You just gotta
stop choking down those three to one leads against the Likes.
That's the only thing done it. Twice they were a
three to one twice, all right, Chris, I'm rolling with it.
Colleague Kevin Wild I've been earlier the drummer, and if
he's the best show in the league, to me, the best,
(31:30):
the best show. Who went off? You think he's a
better player? All right? We got night for night. If
I had to pick a game to watch, it's probably
gonna Bember. That's different, right, Yeah, I thought we were.
I was training the subject game. All right, all right,
that got t Thank you, brother. Somebody gonna trash Martin
(31:52):
Weiss for that just because he went to the show, right,
it's next eight seven, seven ninety nine. I know Fox

your teeth, Reggy, I don't know whether to smile. Lets
you kick a field? Go man? All right, Chris, let's
kick it off with the Pablo in Wyoming. You're on
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you trash
in Pablo for some caller? Let me just start with that. Also, um,
correctly you guys, you guys have a Latina. I am,
(33:28):
but man, I'm so pumped up. You guys have a
Latina as your pa. Um. Anyway, our producers back to kid,
what rob g doesn't count? Racist? Um? Well, anyway, I'm
gonna trash. Well, I'm gonna segue into what you wrote
(33:49):
in your article about the discriminatory hirings. Yes, um, it's
it's become a social issue though, forget your sports. I
mean I think I mentioned it to you on social
media about the entertainment industry, um not having has never
had a minority host for late night TV on the
(34:10):
network level, Yes, syndicated, he was, Yeah, but yeah, but
you mean ever since Jack Parr all the way to now,
no minorities and not even women too, no doubt. Yeah,
I agree with that, all right, Pablo, That's that's cool.
You're right, no doubt about it. How about Robin Ontario.
(34:33):
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who
you're trashing? Hello? Rob? Yeah? Oh, Tim, we got the
wrong name. Who you trashing? Tim? Listen, I gotta get
to talk about Chest. I am trashing the Lakers relationship
with Lebron. This is a perfect time in the off
(34:57):
season to trade and get rid of them. Break up.
It is time. It's so much vanity in this relationship.
He is using you guys. He's openly flirting with other
teams publicly during the All Star break, and he said
he will be available in the future for other teams.
It's time. Yes, he's dropping fifty against bad defenses. Yes,
(35:20):
he's averaging thirty when when the games is not competitive
or he's getting all his points in garbage time. This
is the time to break up with him. This is
where teams will think he's still hot and oh, maybe
we'll trade him, treat for him. Yes, Lakers, do it.
Get some self respect and do it. Finally, all right,
you go, man, Let's go with Sergio and El Paso.
(35:42):
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you
trash and Sergio? So Chris and Rob. He got a
great man having a great Tuesday always. But I'm my
commotion here, man, So I'm winging it. But Kyle Shanahan
and John Lynch, I'm trashing both of you. We're still
having Jimmy g on your twenty on his twenty seven
(36:04):
million dollars caps nd on the books the day before
the league year starts. You're not fooling anyone. You should
have taken the fourth or third round pick you may
have been offered months ago. And really there's an argument
you should have just traded him a year ago and
let trade to develop. But that's neither here nor there.
We're here now and we need the cap space, so
you better cut him or trade him for a bag
(36:26):
of chips in a sweet roll. Just trade him because
he needs to be off the books. Seriously, there you go, thanks, sir,
Joe appreciate it in a sweet role, I know, a
little bit, no, a cup of coffee in a sweet role.
How about Kevin in Culver City. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you're trashing Kevin? What's
(36:47):
up Fellers? Hey, I'm just gonna be really detailed, exorrful
with this, Rod Polinka. I hate to do it, but
when you have a trade on the table for Buddy
Hill to your former client, you know what he's capable
of doing A step below Clay Thompson as far as
the shooter is concerned. With Lebron James and Anthony Davis.
You need the spacing and you don't make that trade.
(37:08):
I gotta trash you. That's the issue with the Lakers.
There's no floor spacing. Guys are sagging off, and then
you trade all of that for Westbrook. Your depth, Kuzma,
KCP harrowd. You could at least got Ruey Hotsima back
from Washington. You trade all that for Westbrook, and that's
the issue. You don't let a player's strong arm you
like a d and Lebronda, you say, hey, thank you.
(37:29):
I appreciate your insightful information, but we're going with Buddy Hill.
This is better for us in the long running. You're
going to see the results. That's what the best gms do.
They're not Sony PlayStation GM. Rob you want a championship,
But come on, man, have some respect for yourself and
make the trade for Buddy Hill. That was on the
table with Luke Wallen and the Kings. They Toldy mest
his whole season, but they torpedoed it. Come on, ros Hey,
(37:56):
I know we're running out on time. I don't know
if we're gonna have time, but no, no, no no, we're
not going on anymore. But I would say, Rob G,
the idea that Rob G, Rob G, have you been
whitewashed that much that people don't even know that your
people don't never think of him is Mexican? I know
what's happened to your heritage, Rob, I don't know. It's
(38:18):
very similar to the people who think that Rob doesn't
like black quarterbacks, the same thing where it's Raven with
I know it was, you know, I apologize for that,
Rob G, for that called keep it like peace.
