A lot of marry in my life. Yes, so there

I was away when Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Obviously, Elizah, what's that you didn't who oh?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I didn't even wait a minute. I'm like totally bugging here, totally.
That's the new level of who we don't even miss him.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
At Elijah, I am so sorry, and of course our social.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Media guru who is Elijah.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Listen, you get a lot of give me and you
even finally got the right day when you came back.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Every time you come back.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
To day, I got it right because I am back
on the holidays. So uh, I would say, Ryan, we
do have a what is it the hot what do
you call it? A microwave tape going back to three
(06:46):
weeks ago when me and you talked about what the
Cowboys should do and Jerry Jones and his whole Michael
Parsons and let's take a.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Listen for a wave take with the on cup over.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
If I'm Jerry Jones for real, and we know he
normally caves, he goes through this whole process.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
We've seen him cave a million times. For once, Jerry,
is this on this on he for once? Jerry?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I want you to grow a pair and do something
different for a change. Do not roll over and wind
up paying it. You've already done it to two guys, right.
Dak Prescott got ridiculous money, Ceedee Lamb got ridiculous money,
and you're gonna make the same mistake and give a
pass rusher right, forty three million dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That is that where we are.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Because let me tell you, Jerry, you didn't You didn't
win the championship last year with Micah, so you couldnot
win the championship next year without him.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I mean, like, what's the difference.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And if I'm the Dallas Cowboys and I'm Jerry Jones
and I really look at this, honestly, the Cowboys have
holes in the golf course.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Plug up some.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Of these holes and trade Michaeh Parsons and his podcast
to be named later, and go get you three pieces three.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You know, like picks, you'll be able to cash.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
And this guy's a primo player and in order to
get you have to give. So you're giving up somebody.
You're not saying you're giving him up because he can't play.
That's not the issue. It's the money that it's gonna
cost you. And you have so many other situations. The
last time I saw Michael Parsons in a meaningful game,
(08:36):
the Green Bay Packers were running up and down upside
their head. You remember that embarrassing one of the worst
losses we've ever seen in the Cowboys. In the postseason,
Michael Parsons blamed everybody else. He was on the field.
He was I don't know, plus minus in the NFL.
He was probably a minus forty that game. I mean,
it was terrible. I think the time has come. He's
(09:00):
a great player. Sometimes you need to make a change
in what you're doing. Jerry, You've been doing the same
thing for more than three decades.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It hasn't worked.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You always cave and pay all these guys, and has
it really worked. Michael Parsons could cure so many situations
for the Cowboys after you've already overpaid two guys that
you can't do anything about.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Now, I would trade Michael Parson. There you go.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
All I'm gonna say is I was right right, and
I nailed it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I nailed it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I knew this had to be the time that Jerry
Jones had to do something different. And I'm just gonna
say this, Kelvin and I know you and most guys
in this business all thought Jerry was gonna do what
he normally does because his track record was that he
was gonna roll over the one thing I will push
back on and I saw you say, is I believe
in and if I'm wrong, stop me that Jerry disrespected
(10:04):
Micah or something like that, that he disrespected him, and
I'm going to disagree with that from the standpoint that
Micah is the one who asked for a trade when
they didn't have He asked for a trade. Don't be
asking for a trade if you're not ready to move on.
And it was obviously got hurt, his feelings hurt that
they traded him. He could say whatever he wants, he
(10:26):
got the money, his feelings were hurt. He couldn't believe
that they parted with such a talent the way Luca
got traded out of Dallas. And the other part is
the disrespect came from Micah. And I think when you
look at him laying down on that table like that is.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
A disrespect to the game.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I don't care what your situation is, you don't show up,
you know that that would be you laying on this
table here because you're in a dispute with Fox Sports
Radio or whatever it is. So I looked at those things,
and in the last part, with some reporting coming out
saying that the podcast was an issue.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Like that, and we and we agree.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
We talked about that, like the podcast have become a
year because we talked about it with the Dak or
who's the top five quarterbacks? He doesn't mention Dak you
start opening up a can of worms. And gods were like, dude,
come on with the podcast, okay, And and I think
I just think Dallas, you got to give to get.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They gave up a great player.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No one's saying that he's a bomb, and they got
just the way Mike uh Luca got traded.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
He was a great player.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But I think for the first time, Jerry Jones actually
did something right.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
The only reason in theory I hear what you're saying.
The pushback I have is I don't think that's what
Jerry set out to do. Like I don't think he
was like, oh, we're about to trade him and get
what we can get. We're gonna do this. I think
he absolutely wanted to sign him, and I mean, obviously
that's what the Ports are offer the money. And didn't
like David Mullagata I call him MoU la Getta. Didn't
like him kind of interfering. I mean, you've got a
(11:59):
gentleman of green less focus on that and the disrespect came.
What I was referring to is when you start insinuating things.
You and I set up here and we were like, oh,
Michael wants to he's made it. No, I want to
stay there. I don't care about the money. I want
to be there. I'm like, hey, let your agent do that.
But once Jerry started to do things like make it
like he's hurt more than he is. All he missed
six games. Once you say, I mean, I like Mike
(12:19):
and all, but he could get hit by a train.
Once you start mad, I got this personal relationship. According
to Jerry Jones, He's one of only three players ever
to have Jerry's personal line, like we got this, we
got this thing. What if I get hit by a train? Oh,
he's missing game more than I really am. And then
not to mention, you're putting it out here like I've
signed on to some deal when we shouldn't have been
(12:40):
talking about it, and I was waiting on you know,
you know, we have to go through my agent. So
like he was making me look like a fool with
my business. That's where the disrespect. Now that he was
talking about jo Mama, is this more so? You got
me out here? Looking crazy, how I handle my business,
looking like I'm unhealthy and I'm always hurt, and again
random stuff about hit by train, and that's where it
started to unravel.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Then Michael started to unravel. Gary, I agree, eating popcorn, hanging.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Out, sitting down that stuff, professional Atlanta Falcons fans that
called me. So it just fire rode out of control
at that point to where I think the Cowboys felt
for us.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
We got all this happening.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
When we look at it, he's unhappy, probably doesn't want
to come back, probably is some don't like David Mullaghetta,
And I think at that point, also to be fair
to the Cowboys, a lot of their head people, according
to reports, are like, oh man, we don't you know,
he's not requestioned his leadership by players. Excuse me players.
So when you have all of that, you make the trade.
My main issue was Rob. If they're gonna make the train, fine,
(13:40):
do it before the draft. Get some pigs because and
then use those pis.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, but I think you're I don't think that that
was where they first set out, like, that was not
the game plan at first. That's why they couldn't do that,
because that's not what they were thinking. But I do believe,
and I think people always shocked, like, oh, they traded,
I can't believe they like like a lot of reporting
and some of the people the stuff that I saw,
(14:04):
their feelings are involved, like you can't be like like seriously,
I'm not saying they got to be newspaper reporters with
all this trading or whatever, but to be an analyst
and you're acting like like you can't believe he was
traded when you saw Luca just got traded five times
all NBA. Okay, Wayne Gretzky was traded, Babe Ruth was sold.
(14:25):
I could go on like, great, some of the greatest
players ever have been traded, sold, whatever you want to
talk about. So this whole idea that that this is
the worst thing that ever happened, Like, I just think
it's over the top reaction, Like it's not like I
don't know how many defensive players of the year. I
(14:46):
could go on and on and on about some stuff
and go and I'm not trying to discount his career,
but it ain't the end of the world. And for once,
I think the Cowboys Jerry did the right thing. From
the standpoint of you can't pay three players fifty percent
of your cap, you know what I mean, and then
still try to win.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I just think that that's a lot how people do that. Yeah,
I think I know we're up against it.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I think the issue only because we know Jerry and
I mean this respectfully, and they say it in his dock,
his own documentary, his own children said that we know
we're up against the clock, meaning Pops is old if
you know what we mean that part. To me, that's
a great move for a long haul if you're if
you're Dallas cowboy, fo a maning, Okay, long game, we
get some players.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm looking at it as Jerry ain't got the longest.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I'm just you know, and so this man, but he
is not looking at it punting on the season.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And that's to me.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
But I don't think they were winning the super Bowl
even this year with Michael. I mean, I'd be hard
pressed that anybody's pick was picking the Cowboys, even with you.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
You ain't gonna look this way for a pick. At
last point, they could have got more Ron. I don't
know if you could. Adams got too, and he was
really he was good. Two first rounds, a third round,
and a couple of good players.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, but the money you have to pay Micah is
going to everybody can't pay that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
It's only a handful of two first rounders for Micah,
twenty six post profol who can stop the rock? Two
first rounders and a fourth round pick, and the players
for Jalen Ramsey and Khalil Matt got a bunch of players.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, but they didn't get They didn't get they didn't
sign the richest contract. None of those guys you mentioned
signed the richest contract of a non quarterback.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
You about to go to the Packers and win a
Super Bowl three years so we'll see the Lion. The
Lions out and I'm already dark mad at you.

I don't know who else there is. Lil Wayne there. Yeah, yeah,
(17:57):
I'm just saying, you know, like this is like celeb pretty.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, College Mary, You're not It sounds like Betty Davis.
I thought that was Betty Betty Davis.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Lil Wayne sound say you didn't you young Babby.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I was okay. I think I'm back. I'm back six
out of ten. That's passing. But but high school grades.
But do we have the Bill Belichick song? Are We
Ready to go?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Of course we should play this song because this is
his start of his college football Chapel Hill Bill, I
don't understand.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
The one thing is I get it? Like, are you
about to say security?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Why don't you have your clothes looser? Like?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Why would you wear like everything is so tight where
I have to see all your definition.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I just said to Ryan that he looks like a
BBO girl. I mean, am I right or wrong? Like
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
He's seventy three, I get it, and he's not going
to be rock have a washboard abs or any of that.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
But the clothes seemed too tight. Well, just gonna say
who's fitting him? He was a okay when he was
with them. When he was with the Patriots, he was
by himself out here living life focused on football.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You know, when you.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Get a lady she likes why don't you try these?
I just happened to see these. I just bought these
at the mall. You would look good at these. He
has on a pair of Capris right. Is that I'm
just saying, shins are out, you know, but I ankles well,
you know I subscribe to ankles come out, but shins
are out.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I gotta admit, I want to know you to get
you a suit. Some ankles out there.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
But I thought when he was walking through campus or whatever,
I was mistaken. I thought he was in a hurst
when he was driving around. I know he's seventy three.
That was just a big cattle. That just okay, a
big cadillact. But he was laying down in the back.
So I thought, maybe listen, what.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Do people do? They take naps old people? He was like,
I'd be ready for the game. Just give me a nap,
Give you a minute.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You know what, when I've dated the older women and
after they want to get in the back seat, and
when I'm driving home sometimes I feel like I just
want to drive by the cemetery and drop them off.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You know what I'm saying is that what you were
doing on the Golden Girl's cruise. Is that what you were.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Doing on the Golden Girl c You feel like I'm
driving a hursh like she's in the back seat.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I'm like, what's going on here? Not you resurrecting to
dad for a night.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'm just saying, you know, you're driving on the iron, like,
should I just take turn off here?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Like?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah? Which handstone was it? Again? I was the third
one from the left.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I don't want to say my last girlfriend was old.
But her office was in the cemetery.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
That's how old she is. Yeah, just drop me off
right there.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yes, but Bill Belichick does not have an old girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
He has a young one. Oh he does not.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm just gonna say this, And I think Bill Belichick
made a grave error in his career. He was within
striking distance to be in the all time winning his
coach in the NFL, beating Don Shula, and he bailed
out to go to North Carolina, I don't know, to
set up his son for the future, whatever it is.
At seventy three. I just thought he should have waited
(21:16):
the one year, gotten a job and could have won
enough games, you know, in two years to get the
record if he's still going to be a coach to
go to college and have to recruit and do all
that stuff. North Carolina's not a football powerhouse and they
just had an old coach. I mean, I'm talking about
going out on a hears mac Brown. Wasn't he just
(21:37):
a coach at North Carolina? They ran him out a
town on a walker, I mean a rail. I mean,
but you get my point, Like, what is this? It's
North Carolina, You're not Lawrence Taylor's not playing for you.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You're not winning anything there? What is this? So what
are you winning? Calvin?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Isn't he about winning? He won six Super Bowls. Now
he's just here to coach the young kids. Is that
really what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I look at it like this, this is out of
spite to me, this is out of uh all the
things I've done for you NFL, all the things I've
done for you, specifically the Patriots and all these other teams,
and I've been, you know, the king of the Hill
for so long an NFL.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
You don't want me.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Nobody wants your boy. And I think he was like,
I'm gonna show Y'all'm an go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I'm a thrive. But he didn't go to a powerhouse
in college football.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I would get that, like you're the all time You're
like one of the all time great goals Alabama.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
He replaced his nickas Yes, and I get that, but
I think for him, he wants to on paper, I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Gonna go down here and I'm gonn show you.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I'm gonna take this team that isn't a powerhouse and
I'm gonna make them good and I'm gonna show you
what it is. The only the issue is it takes
time to build programs not in a major college football.
I'm not coming to Georgia where Okay, this thing is
an auto pilot Clemson, Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
You know he didn't take over Ohio State. Okay, I
got you.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, these things you're gonna have to build up, and
it might even when you're not gonna win the national
championship out of North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I'm sorry. And so this is gonna be an epic fail. Kelvin.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I completely believe that this is gonna be a fail,
and he's just gonna leave it all, like leave the mess.
And the only reason why t took this again, I
think it's for two factors. One out of Spike or
two was for the set up for his son on
one of his mainteen He's like, this is you know,
I'm gonna do this for a year or two and
then bam, handed off to you.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You here's the spite part that I don't understand. We
talk about all the time. You know, many great quarterbacks
who won championships with people finished their careers elsewhere. They
didn't stay. Joe Montana won four, it was four to o.
Did he finish his career with the forty nine ers?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, they moved on.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Tom Brady won six? Okay, thank you bow out? Okay,
what far? Aaron Rodgers won a Super Bowl. We could
go on and on and on. There so many great
Johnny United didn't finish his career. I just this is
just the nature of the sport and for him to
be involved in this just and all the nonsense that
(24:10):
went on. I mean, if you asked me, I hope
they get drilled. I hope it's absolutely awful because this
is a mistake. Why would you do this in your
career when you're that close, If you were way out
of it and there were no jobs for you, sit
out one year, get the stink off of you from
the Patriots, and then there would have been somebody who
would have given you a chance if you still were healthy.
(24:31):
And you know what I mean, even at his age,
he's the oldest college football coach at seventy three years old.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
There's a reason. I mean, what it takes to do college.
College is a completely different beast in the NFL. Right,
you gotta be on the roads, you gotta be recruiting,
you gotta do all the nil stuff. You gotta go
meet parents. It's a whole different bag. Do you have
that energy to do that. You can't just sit and
watch film. You can't just sit and be locked into
the you know, to the room and figure out a
game plan. Right, this isn't the NFL where you're able
(24:58):
to do that. And again, and I'm looking when I
go back to the Spike. The reason why I say
this is I think he had there's some you know,
some flirting with the Atlanta Falcons that that could have
happened there. But I think he was offended that multiple
teams were knocking down my door. Right, it should have
been seven eight teams that were like we want you, Bill,
And I think he's slightly offended that that didn't happen,
(25:19):
that there wasn't this multitude of teams that were like, Bill,
we have a vacancy and we need you. And so
therefore he took his ball and I'm gonna go play elsewhere,
and now he's down here, and you know, I don't
know if TCU win or lose. I don't think there's
gonna be a blowout, Like I don't think tc is
gonna blow him out even if they win.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
But as hoping for it, I.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Don't think TCU has a talent to just blow them
out like that. But I think throughout the season you
win six seven, eight games, like what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Bill?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
You're not the coach for that because I don't buy
you as a guy who just wants to build up
a program.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And I love the kids and I love to teach.
I don't.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
You don't strike me as that guy like part of
the deon Sanders. I know he loves to teach and
grow young men. That's been his brand for for years.
So even if Colorado never wins a national championship, I
know he will be very satisfied teaching and growing young men, Bill, don't.
I don't know that to be Bill's case like that,
So I don't know the what he's getting out of
(26:17):
this other than he's, uh, what's he doing trademarking the
gold Digger and other stuff too.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I'm with you. I just don't.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I don't get it, and the whole everything around it,
and the girlfriend and all all the other times.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's just very, very weird. What are we doing here?
This is Bill Belichick? Why we knew his friend one
way for years? His friend's got to be like, who
is this?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
We all have had that friend, everybody, Ryan, you two,
Mary's been one of your homegirls and it could have
been hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
No, don't act like that.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
We all have had that friend who found some love
and uh changed up a bit, you know, and then
started acting can't come here, can't do that. No man,
y'all go ahead. I'm just doing this to start dressing different.
You're like, what and I think you know? Just's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
College football is back, obviously, and we saw a lot
of stuff going on and Miami beating Notre Dame a big,
big game. A lot of people were interested in that
down in Miami. Had a record attendance. If I remember
reading correctly, right, for that game, and the celebrities and
former players were out in full force.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
They were right for that game.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
And one thing I liked about that one obviously Texas
Ohio State, which was like an old nineteen seventies game
with that score and how defensive it was. But I
liked that we got some bigger matchups. You know, we
got number six, Notre Dame, number ten.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Use his cupcakes.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, exactly. First I call them law firms. You know,
you just playing these schools.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That'sund like well, you know, at Michigan in the first
three weeks, so just terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
You know that for that's Appalachian State coming up in there?
You know what today's the anniversary? Is it early?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
I didn't even know is it today? Appalachian State? Looked
at up Ryan, not that I want to hear about it,
but no, no, no, I think it is today, Which is crazy.
How long did they'll tell me? Take a guess? Because
I just saw this it is today? I want to
go it has been guess thirteen years? Higher sixteen? Right
(28:32):
in the sixteen, I think it's sixteen years. It was
two thousand and seven, so that'd be eighteen years, eighteen
eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Wow, I was allful going fifteen with I'll never forget that.
You know obviously you still yeah, I was still there.
What am I talking about? I was still there?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Oh yeah when that happened. That was like the shock way.
That was the beginning of were going to be great
Lloyd Carr's career right there.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Yeah, Appleatic State and then Apple just they had a
nerd to go off and be good for like the
next decade, like a real like you gotta beat them.
But back to Miami, So got a good game last night,
and and and they end up winning twenty seven twenty four.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
But we got to talk about unk.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
And I've had a lot of unk in my life
lately because I was watching that told you the America's
team and Michael Irvan is outside from Jerry Jones might
be the biggest person in as far as just always
in it.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
He's sweating in the documentary.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He kept it real, like made you uncomfortable, real, like
all this they went there today, ask oh what they
did the whole entire seventh episode. I mean, they kept
it real. The ladies. The ladies are in it, they
talking to the FBI agents are in it. The dude,
the prosecution who's mad because we had him, we had
him cornered, and the judge offered him a deal. The
(29:41):
judge is in it, I mean, and he just goes there.
He says something that his wife said to him that
was deep as heck, and that's what brought him to tears.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
He talked about Jerry.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Jerry starts crying because Jerry said, like that's his favorite
cowboy of all Time's Mike Orvan and like they're just connected.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
And yeah, they went there there.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I mean, they showed the tape on him getting caught
on tape sn I mean, but you know, buying the drugs,
and they showed a house all episode. You know, this
is the White House we called it. And I mean
they went there and he just talked about it. You know,
he thought he was opening honest about his demons. So
that was kind of you know, it was refreshing that
he just kept it real, like they're nothing to hide,
and they just went there and they talked about They
even believe that fractured the team because they just were
(30:21):
never quite the same, that trio, the triplets, Him, Troy
and Eman and all that.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So they went there.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
But with that being said, Uk was on the sideline,
as he has been known to be with the Canes,
And uh, I don't know if Michael every got the
memo he wasn't suiting up, rob Did you see the
sweat coming off of him when he went back through
the tunnel, like he had keep playing when it touchdown,
(30:49):
like Jimmy Johnson dialed up his number like uncle was
going crazy. And then you get the video here and
he says, I'm blanking tired. He was waving the town
better than corn Bread Maxwell.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Am I right? Like he's the only good reference, right,
corn Brad Maxwell? Look it up. He's the all time
towel waiver of the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Gosh yo, he was going crazy, which leads to the
conversation and obviously we love it.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
He's having fun.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
But is it too much to having people like Michael Irvin?
Remember last year he was down on all fours and
everybody's unk.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You got to relax. You don't remember that, Ryan, I don't.
He was don look google that, get your google's going.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
He was down on all four barking at the game,
going crazy and everybody's an unk. You're doing hey hey
too much? But yeah, you start to see some of
those players getting down there, they get fired up. And
my concern only, the only concern I have is like,
and this is why he's there, and he's a part
of the game because people like him. I was even
(31:50):
concerned about Kevin Garnett, who are so into the game
like nothing else matters to them, Like nothing else can
get him going, can feel that voice, he can fill
that hole, and so you worry about him a little bit,
you know what I mean, Like life has to go on.
He retired, and I think thirty two or thirty three, like, God,
will you get another forty five fifty five years? What
(32:11):
else we doing? You see them all for as yet?
Run y'all see that you see them on all fours?
Yeah that was doing too much, right, Yeah we were
fifty some years old. We can't be down there on
all fours, barking on the sideline. But I don't want
to sound like a party pooper.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
And I get it, which I'm about to poop poo it,
And I get it, like this is your school and
you have pride, and you you know, they give they
give you a credential to be on the sideline. But
I think it's unfair, and I think it's unfair to
the kids because it's their spotlight and they're going to
put the camera on Michael Oran because of who he
(32:50):
was is I should say, his career there and of
course winning through Super Bowls with the Cowboys. So I
get all of that, but I just don't I think
there's a time and place and let the kids have
their fun tonight at this game.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Lawrence Taylor isn't on the sidelines of the game. He's
in the in a suite with Michael.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Jordan and William and Mia Ham right like, like, that's
where you should be enjoying your school having fun.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You don't need to be on the sidelines.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And you know, if you want to come during the week,
help the coach that the wide receiver coach, you know
what I mean, give some tips if kids want to
ask you questions, how do I do this?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
How do I get better?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I'm all for that grand standing during the game and
waving towels and trying to be on television, whether you
want to be or not. I just don't think that
that's where we should be and where he should be.
I think I think that there's something wrong with that.
There has to be a line where you can be apart.
You can even be on the sideline. I don't mind,
because there's always guys just here. Here's the here's the rub.
(33:58):
There are guys on the sideline that we don't know
about because they're not acting crazy right right now. There
could be an ex he just was talking about Julius
Peppers is at the game. He might be on the
sideline now, but like you don't know because he's not
going crazy. So I think that the challenge with Michael
Irvin is he was up in the press rest of
the time. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like there's a
place for you. I'm not saying don't go to the
(34:18):
game and don't support your school or anything, or or
help the coach.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
During the game.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He I think there's a point when you can enjoy it.
We want you here. We want to build the camaraderie,
want to build the alumni. You know, to everybody coming
back so you feel the school feels the presence. We're
about to bring back old Miami ways. We're gonna be winning.
You absolutely want that because it's great for It's just
great for the atmosphere's grateful.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Recruiting is great for everything, but he's not the only
guy who played there. You can't bring everybody back.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Everybody.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
We can't have you here coming every bouncing all off
for us, barking. We can't have you here going crazy
on the sideline, sweating, going wild. But again, I think
that's the challenge, is like Mike, like, what else?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
What?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
What else do I have? And I think that's when
you talk to a lot of athletes. This has been
all I've known since I was five. Yeah, but that's
their moment, And I agree with that part. They have
to find their ways to contribute, to be a part,
to have fun, to be in the sign, but it
can't be at the cost of like you've taken all
the attention and you kind of look like there's nothing
(35:21):
else because dude, you gotta relax, Mike.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
But here here's my other issue. Though.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
You think he's the only former North I mean, former
Miami Hurricane who would like to help out or be
with the do you know what I mean? And you
couldn't make those You couldn't allow everybody to come back
who wants to come back and be on the sideline.
Do you know what your your field would look like
(35:50):
if all the players wanted to come back.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I mean, he's not the only guy who plays. Might
be the.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
He might be the biggest Miami Hurricane. I'm actually Paul
and thinking to make sure I totally get you from
the area.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I get all that, but there are other players too,
and I'm saying, I'm sure that at some point you
gotta cut it off because you can't have everybody coming back,
everybody being at the game.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I go all the time. You know this.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You go to Dodger Stadium, not every former Dodger is
in the press box, you know, because they want to
come back or to get down on the field.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
They don't. They don't. They aren't allowed to do that.
But that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Mike his life, and for whatever reason, the Hurricanes are like,
hey Mike, just you can never come back. I would
have to have an apb out for Michael Irvin. I
would be concerned for him.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
I told you.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Buddy of mine used to talk about how we were
concerned for Kevin Garnett because like he's so passionate.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
It's like what else is he gonna do? Thank God
he's got that pot.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
And then Paul Pierce, because like he has to talk basketball,
he has to feel it. That's why his storytelling is
so great. He makes you feel like you're there. I'm like, man,
he's sweating, he's going crazy. Kevin Garnett like his blood
pressure when he gets to talking ball man, it's like whoa.
And Michael Irvin has a bit of that to them,
and Miss Smith talked about that and in the doc
(37:10):
he's just like as good as I was at Troy,
and Mike was the lifeline of our team like that
when he left and retired, because when we had the
broken neck and all that, He's like the life of
our team, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
And I'm not knocking his enthusiasm for his Alma mana
and this and this football program and all that stuff
is great. I just think that there is comes a
time where the players, those players deserve to have the
spotlight right, and it should be about them and the
cameras should be on them more so than former players
(37:46):
and guys who are like looking for.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
You said all that, Ryan, I ain't listening to none
of this man saying he about be going crazy on
the sidelines in southern Connecticut. No, I'm not even with
my name up there. I'm not your name up there.
Give you the press box or whatever, and now you
can't go crazy. I'm not going to be I can't
get on all fours knowing I'm not barking.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
You can't bark sweating, I'm blanking tie. You can't do
all that. I'm not doing all you're.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Naming the press box after you. You gotta give us something.
You got to run into a ref like a CD
lamb the other day, A running to him over that
first of Dan. That's how I know the Cowboys season.
But that was the omen right there. Ryan season is
a rap

I didn't even wait a minute. I'm like totally bugging here, totally.
That's the new level of who we don't even miss him.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
At Elijah, I am so sorry, and of course our social.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Media guru who is Elijah.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Listen, you get a lot of give me and you
even finally got the right day when you came back.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Every time you come back.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
To day, I got it right because I am back
on the holidays. So uh, I would say, Ryan, we
do have a what is it the hot what do
you call it? A microwave tape going back to three
(06:46):
weeks ago when me and you talked about what the
Cowboys should do and Jerry Jones and his whole Michael
Parsons and let's take a.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Listen for a wave take with the on cup over.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
If I'm Jerry Jones for real, and we know he
normally caves, he goes through this whole process.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
We've seen him cave a million times. For once, Jerry,
is this on this on he for once? Jerry?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I want you to grow a pair and do something
different for a change. Do not roll over and wind
up paying it. You've already done it to two guys, right.
Dak Prescott got ridiculous money, Ceedee Lamb got ridiculous money,
and you're gonna make the same mistake and give a
pass rusher right, forty three million dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That is that where we are.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Because let me tell you, Jerry, you didn't You didn't
win the championship last year with Micah, so you couldnot
win the championship next year without him.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I mean, like, what's the difference.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And if I'm the Dallas Cowboys and I'm Jerry Jones
and I really look at this, honestly, the Cowboys have
holes in the golf course.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Plug up some.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Of these holes and trade Michaeh Parsons and his podcast
to be named later, and go get you three pieces three.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
You know, like picks, you'll be able to cash.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
And this guy's a primo player and in order to
get you have to give. So you're giving up somebody.
You're not saying you're giving him up because he can't play.
That's not the issue. It's the money that it's gonna
cost you. And you have so many other situations. The
last time I saw Michael Parsons in a meaningful game,
(08:36):
the Green Bay Packers were running up and down upside
their head. You remember that embarrassing one of the worst
losses we've ever seen in the Cowboys. In the postseason,
Michael Parsons blamed everybody else. He was on the field.
He was I don't know, plus minus in the NFL.
He was probably a minus forty that game. I mean,
it was terrible. I think the time has come. He's
(09:00):
a great player. Sometimes you need to make a change
in what you're doing. Jerry, You've been doing the same
thing for more than three decades.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It hasn't worked.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You always cave and pay all these guys, and has
it really worked. Michael Parsons could cure so many situations
for the Cowboys after you've already overpaid two guys that
you can't do anything about.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Now, I would trade Michael Parson. There you go.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
All I'm gonna say is I was right right, and
I nailed it.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I nailed it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I knew this had to be the time that Jerry
Jones had to do something different. And I'm just gonna
say this, Kelvin and I know you and most guys
in this business all thought Jerry was gonna do what
he normally does because his track record was that he
was gonna roll over the one thing I will push
back on and I saw you say, is I believe
in and if I'm wrong, stop me that Jerry disrespected
(10:04):
Micah or something like that, that he disrespected him, and
I'm going to disagree with that from the standpoint that
Micah is the one who asked for a trade when
they didn't have He asked for a trade. Don't be
asking for a trade if you're not ready to move on.
And it was obviously got hurt, his feelings hurt that
they traded him. He could say whatever he wants, he
(10:26):
got the money, his feelings were hurt. He couldn't believe
that they parted with such a talent the way Luca
got traded out of Dallas. And the other part is
the disrespect came from Micah. And I think when you
look at him laying down on that table like that is.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
A disrespect to the game.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I don't care what your situation is, you don't show up,
you know that that would be you laying on this
table here because you're in a dispute with Fox Sports
Radio or whatever it is. So I looked at those things,
and in the last part, with some reporting coming out
saying that the podcast was an issue.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Like that, and we and we agree.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
We talked about that, like the podcast have become a
year because we talked about it with the Dak or
who's the top five quarterbacks? He doesn't mention Dak you
start opening up a can of worms. And gods were like, dude,
come on with the podcast, okay, And and I think
I just think Dallas, you got to give to get.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They gave up a great player.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No one's saying that he's a bomb, and they got
just the way Mike uh Luca got traded.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
He was a great player.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But I think for the first time, Jerry Jones actually
did something right.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
The only reason in theory I hear what you're saying.
The pushback I have is I don't think that's what
Jerry set out to do. Like I don't think he
was like, oh, we're about to trade him and get
what we can get. We're gonna do this. I think
he absolutely wanted to sign him, and I mean, obviously
that's what the Ports are offer the money. And didn't
like David Mullagata I call him MoU la Getta. Didn't
like him kind of interfering. I mean, you've got a
(11:59):
gentleman of green less focus on that and the disrespect came.
What I was referring to is when you start insinuating things.
You and I set up here and we were like, oh,
Michael wants to he's made it. No, I want to
stay there. I don't care about the money. I want
to be there. I'm like, hey, let your agent do that.
But once Jerry started to do things like make it
like he's hurt more than he is. All he missed
six games. Once you say, I mean, I like Mike
(12:19):
and all, but he could get hit by a train.
Once you start mad, I got this personal relationship. According
to Jerry Jones, He's one of only three players ever
to have Jerry's personal line, like we got this, we
got this thing. What if I get hit by a train? Oh,
he's missing game more than I really am. And then
not to mention, you're putting it out here like I've
signed on to some deal when we shouldn't have been
(12:40):
talking about it, and I was waiting on you know,
you know, we have to go through my agent. So
like he was making me look like a fool with
my business. That's where the disrespect. Now that he was
talking about jo Mama, is this more so? You got
me out here? Looking crazy, how I handle my business,
looking like I'm unhealthy and I'm always hurt, and again
random stuff about hit by train, and that's where it
started to unravel.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Then Michael started to unravel. Gary, I agree, eating popcorn, hanging.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Out, sitting down that stuff, professional Atlanta Falcons fans that
called me. So it just fire rode out of control
at that point to where I think the Cowboys felt
for us.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
We got all this happening.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
When we look at it, he's unhappy, probably doesn't want
to come back, probably is some don't like David Mullaghetta,
And I think at that point, also to be fair
to the Cowboys, a lot of their head people, according
to reports, are like, oh man, we don't you know,
he's not requestioned his leadership by players. Excuse me players.
So when you have all of that, you make the trade.
My main issue was Rob. If they're gonna make the train, fine,
(13:40):
do it before the draft. Get some pigs because and
then use those pis.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, but I think you're I don't think that that
was where they first set out, like, that was not
the game plan at first. That's why they couldn't do that,
because that's not what they were thinking. But I do believe,
and I think people always shocked, like, oh, they traded,
I can't believe they like like a lot of reporting
and some of the people the stuff that I saw,
(14:04):
their feelings are involved, like you can't be like like seriously,
I'm not saying they got to be newspaper reporters with
all this trading or whatever, but to be an analyst
and you're acting like like you can't believe he was
traded when you saw Luca just got traded five times
all NBA. Okay, Wayne Gretzky was traded, Babe Ruth was sold.
(14:25):
I could go on like, great, some of the greatest
players ever have been traded, sold, whatever you want to
talk about. So this whole idea that that this is
the worst thing that ever happened, Like, I just think
it's over the top reaction, Like it's not like I
don't know how many defensive players of the year. I
(14:46):
could go on and on and on about some stuff
and go and I'm not trying to discount his career,
but it ain't the end of the world. And for once,
I think the Cowboys Jerry did the right thing. From
the standpoint of you can't pay three players fifty percent
of your cap, you know what I mean, and then
still try to win.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
I just think that that's a lot how people do that. Yeah,
I think I know we're up against it.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I think the issue only because we know Jerry and
I mean this respectfully, and they say it in his dock,
his own documentary, his own children said that we know
we're up against the clock, meaning Pops is old if
you know what we mean that part. To me, that's
a great move for a long haul if you're if
you're Dallas cowboy, fo a maning, Okay, long game, we
get some players.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm looking at it as Jerry ain't got the longest.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I'm just you know, and so this man, but he
is not looking at it punting on the season.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And that's to me.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
But I don't think they were winning the super Bowl
even this year with Michael. I mean, I'd be hard
pressed that anybody's pick was picking the Cowboys, even with you.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
You ain't gonna look this way for a pick. At
last point, they could have got more Ron. I don't
know if you could. Adams got too, and he was
really he was good. Two first rounds, a third round,
and a couple of good players.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, but the money you have to pay Micah is
going to everybody can't pay that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
It's only a handful of two first rounders for Micah,
twenty six post profol who can stop the rock? Two
first rounders and a fourth round pick, and the players
for Jalen Ramsey and Khalil Matt got a bunch of players.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, but they didn't get They didn't get they didn't
sign the richest contract. None of those guys you mentioned
signed the richest contract of a non quarterback.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
You about to go to the Packers and win a
Super Bowl three years so we'll see the Lion. The
Lions out and I'm already dark mad at you.

get some color from down there. Will do that because
all the heavyweights are there for North Carolina, and Michael
Jordanes and the Bill Taylor LT's in the building, and
I don't know who else there is. Lil Wayne there. Yeah, yeah,
(17:57):
I'm just saying, you know, like this is like celeb pretty.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, College Mary, You're not It sounds like Betty Davis.
I thought that was Betty Betty Davis.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Lil Wayne sound say you didn't you young Babby.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I was okay. I think I'm back. I'm back six
out of ten. That's passing. But but high school grades.
But do we have the Bill Belichick song? Are We
Ready to go?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Of course we should play this song because this is
his start of his college football Chapel Hill Bill, I
don't understand.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
The one thing is I get it? Like, are you
about to say security?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Why don't you have your clothes looser? Like?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Why would you wear like everything is so tight where
I have to see all your definition.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I just said to Ryan that he looks like a
BBO girl. I mean, am I right or wrong? Like
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
He's seventy three, I get it, and he's not going
to be rock have a washboard abs or any of that.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
But the clothes seemed too tight. Well, just gonna say
who's fitting him? He was a okay when he was
with them. When he was with the Patriots, he was
by himself out here living life focused on football.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
You know, when you.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Get a lady she likes why don't you try these?
I just happened to see these. I just bought these
at the mall. You would look good at these. He
has on a pair of Capris right. Is that I'm
just saying, shins are out, you know, but I ankles well,
you know I subscribe to ankles come out, but shins
are out.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I gotta admit, I want to know you to get
you a suit. Some ankles out there.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
But I thought when he was walking through campus or whatever,
I was mistaken. I thought he was in a hurst
when he was driving around. I know he's seventy three.
That was just a big cattle. That just okay, a
big cadillact. But he was laying down in the back.
So I thought, maybe listen, what.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Do people do? They take naps old people? He was like,
I'd be ready for the game. Just give me a nap,
Give you a minute.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You know what, when I've dated the older women and
after they want to get in the back seat, and
when I'm driving home sometimes I feel like I just
want to drive by the cemetery and drop them off.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You know what I'm saying is that what you were
doing on the Golden Girl's cruise. Is that what you were.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Doing on the Golden Girl c You feel like I'm
driving a hursh like she's in the back seat.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I'm like, what's going on here? Not you resurrecting to
dad for a night.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'm just saying, you know, you're driving on the iron, like,
should I just take turn off here?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Like?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah? Which handstone was it? Again? I was the third
one from the left.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I don't want to say my last girlfriend was old.
But her office was in the cemetery.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
That's how old she is. Yeah, just drop me off
right there.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yes, but Bill Belichick does not have an old girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
He has a young one. Oh he does not.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm just gonna say this, And I think Bill Belichick
made a grave error in his career. He was within
striking distance to be in the all time winning his
coach in the NFL, beating Don Shula, and he bailed
out to go to North Carolina, I don't know, to
set up his son for the future, whatever it is.
At seventy three. I just thought he should have waited
(21:16):
the one year, gotten a job and could have won
enough games, you know, in two years to get the
record if he's still going to be a coach to
go to college and have to recruit and do all
that stuff. North Carolina's not a football powerhouse and they
just had an old coach. I mean, I'm talking about
going out on a hears mac Brown. Wasn't he just
(21:37):
a coach at North Carolina? They ran him out a
town on a walker, I mean a rail. I mean,
but you get my point, Like, what is this? It's
North Carolina, You're not Lawrence Taylor's not playing for you.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You're not winning anything there? What is this? So what
are you winning? Calvin?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Isn't he about winning? He won six Super Bowls. Now
he's just here to coach the young kids. Is that
really what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I look at it like this, this is out of
spite to me, this is out of uh all the
things I've done for you NFL, all the things I've
done for you, specifically the Patriots and all these other teams,
and I've been, you know, the king of the Hill
for so long an NFL.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
You don't want me.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Nobody wants your boy. And I think he was like,
I'm gonna show Y'all'm an go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I'm a thrive. But he didn't go to a powerhouse
in college football.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I would get that, like you're the all time You're
like one of the all time great goals Alabama.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
He replaced his nickas Yes, and I get that, but
I think for him, he wants to on paper, I'm.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Gonna go down here and I'm gonn show you.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I'm gonna take this team that isn't a powerhouse and
I'm gonna make them good and I'm gonna show you
what it is. The only the issue is it takes
time to build programs not in a major college football.
I'm not coming to Georgia where Okay, this thing is
an auto pilot Clemson, Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
You know he didn't take over Ohio State. Okay, I
got you.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Yeah, these things you're gonna have to build up, and
it might even when you're not gonna win the national
championship out of North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
I'm sorry. And so this is gonna be an epic fail. Kelvin.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I completely believe that this is gonna be a fail,
and he's just gonna leave it all, like leave the mess.
And the only reason why t took this again, I
think it's for two factors. One out of Spike or
two was for the set up for his son on
one of his mainteen He's like, this is you know,
I'm gonna do this for a year or two and
then bam, handed off to you.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You here's the spite part that I don't understand. We
talk about all the time. You know, many great quarterbacks
who won championships with people finished their careers elsewhere. They
didn't stay. Joe Montana won four, it was four to o.
Did he finish his career with the forty nine ers?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, they moved on.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Tom Brady won six? Okay, thank you bow out? Okay,
what far? Aaron Rodgers won a Super Bowl. We could
go on and on and on. There so many great
Johnny United didn't finish his career. I just this is
just the nature of the sport and for him to
be involved in this just and all the nonsense that
(24:10):
went on. I mean, if you asked me, I hope
they get drilled. I hope it's absolutely awful because this
is a mistake. Why would you do this in your
career when you're that close, If you were way out
of it and there were no jobs for you, sit
out one year, get the stink off of you from
the Patriots, and then there would have been somebody who
would have given you a chance if you still were healthy.
(24:31):
And you know what I mean, even at his age,
he's the oldest college football coach at seventy three years old.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
There's a reason. I mean, what it takes to do college.
College is a completely different beast in the NFL. Right,
you gotta be on the roads, you gotta be recruiting,
you gotta do all the nil stuff. You gotta go
meet parents. It's a whole different bag. Do you have
that energy to do that. You can't just sit and
watch film. You can't just sit and be locked into
the you know, to the room and figure out a
game plan. Right, this isn't the NFL where you're able
(24:58):
to do that. And again, and I'm looking when I
go back to the Spike. The reason why I say
this is I think he had there's some you know,
some flirting with the Atlanta Falcons that that could have
happened there. But I think he was offended that multiple
teams were knocking down my door. Right, it should have
been seven eight teams that were like we want you, Bill,
And I think he's slightly offended that that didn't happen,
(25:19):
that there wasn't this multitude of teams that were like, Bill,
we have a vacancy and we need you. And so
therefore he took his ball and I'm gonna go play elsewhere,
and now he's down here, and you know, I don't
know if TCU win or lose. I don't think there's
gonna be a blowout, Like I don't think tc is
gonna blow him out even if they win.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
But as hoping for it, I.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Don't think TCU has a talent to just blow them
out like that. But I think throughout the season you
win six seven, eight games, like what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Bill?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
You're not the coach for that because I don't buy
you as a guy who just wants to build up
a program.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And I love the kids and I love to teach.
I don't.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
You don't strike me as that guy like part of
the deon Sanders. I know he loves to teach and
grow young men. That's been his brand for for years.
So even if Colorado never wins a national championship, I
know he will be very satisfied teaching and growing young men, Bill, don't.
I don't know that to be Bill's case like that,
So I don't know the what he's getting out of
(26:17):
this other than he's, uh, what's he doing trademarking the
gold Digger and other stuff too.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I'm with you. I just don't.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I don't get it, and the whole everything around it,
and the girlfriend and all all the other times.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's just very, very weird. What are we doing here?
This is Bill Belichick? Why we knew his friend one
way for years? His friend's got to be like, who
is this?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
We all have had that friend, everybody, Ryan, you two,
Mary's been one of your homegirls and it could have
been hurt.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
No, don't act like that.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
We all have had that friend who found some love
and uh changed up a bit, you know, and then
started acting can't come here, can't do that. No man,
y'all go ahead. I'm just doing this to start dressing different.
You're like, what and I think you know? Just's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
College football is back, obviously, and we saw a lot
of stuff going on and Miami beating Notre Dame a big,
big game. A lot of people were interested in that
down in Miami. Had a record attendance. If I remember
reading correctly, right, for that game, and the celebrities and
former players were out in full force.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
They were right for that game.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
And one thing I liked about that one obviously Texas
Ohio State, which was like an old nineteen seventies game
with that score and how defensive it was. But I
liked that we got some bigger matchups. You know, we
got number six, Notre Dame, number ten.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Use his cupcakes.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, exactly. First I call them law firms. You know,
you just playing these schools.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That'sund like well, you know, at Michigan in the first
three weeks, so just terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
You know that for that's Appalachian State coming up in there?
You know what today's the anniversary? Is it early?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
I didn't even know is it today? Appalachian State? Looked
at up Ryan, not that I want to hear about it,
but no, no, no, I think it is today, Which is crazy.
How long did they'll tell me? Take a guess? Because
I just saw this it is today? I want to
go it has been guess thirteen years? Higher sixteen? Right
(28:32):
in the sixteen, I think it's sixteen years. It was
two thousand and seven, so that'd be eighteen years, eighteen
eighteen years.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Wow, I was allful going fifteen with I'll never forget that.
You know obviously you still yeah, I was still there.
What am I talking about? I was still there?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Oh yeah when that happened. That was like the shock way.
That was the beginning of were going to be great
Lloyd Carr's career right there.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Yeah, Appleatic State and then Apple just they had a
nerd to go off and be good for like the
next decade, like a real like you gotta beat them.
But back to Miami, So got a good game last night,
and and and they end up winning twenty seven twenty four.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
But we got to talk about unk.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
And I've had a lot of unk in my life
lately because I was watching that told you the America's
team and Michael Irvan is outside from Jerry Jones might
be the biggest person in as far as just always
in it.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
He's sweating in the documentary.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He kept it real, like made you uncomfortable, real, like
all this they went there today, ask oh what they
did the whole entire seventh episode. I mean, they kept
it real. The ladies. The ladies are in it, they
talking to the FBI agents are in it. The dude,
the prosecution who's mad because we had him, we had
him cornered, and the judge offered him a deal. The
(29:41):
judge is in it, I mean, and he just goes there.
He says something that his wife said to him that
was deep as heck, and that's what brought him to tears.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
He talked about Jerry.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Jerry starts crying because Jerry said, like that's his favorite
cowboy of all Time's Mike Orvan and like they're just connected.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
And yeah, they went there there.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I mean, they showed the tape on him getting caught
on tape sn I mean, but you know, buying the drugs,
and they showed a house all episode. You know, this
is the White House we called it. And I mean
they went there and he just talked about it. You know,
he thought he was opening honest about his demons. So
that was kind of you know, it was refreshing that
he just kept it real, like they're nothing to hide,
and they just went there and they talked about They
even believe that fractured the team because they just were
(30:21):
never quite the same, that trio, the triplets, Him, Troy
and Eman and all that.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So they went there.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
But with that being said, Uk was on the sideline,
as he has been known to be with the Canes,
And uh, I don't know if Michael every got the
memo he wasn't suiting up, rob Did you see the
sweat coming off of him when he went back through
the tunnel, like he had keep playing when it touchdown,
(30:49):
like Jimmy Johnson dialed up his number like uncle was
going crazy. And then you get the video here and
he says, I'm blanking tired. He was waving the town
better than corn Bread Maxwell.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Am I right? Like he's the only good reference, right,
corn Brad Maxwell? Look it up. He's the all time
towel waiver of the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Gosh yo, he was going crazy, which leads to the
conversation and obviously we love it.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
He's having fun.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
But is it too much to having people like Michael Irvin?
Remember last year he was down on all fours and
everybody's unk.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
You got to relax. You don't remember that, Ryan, I don't.
He was don look google that, get your google's going.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
He was down on all four barking at the game,
going crazy and everybody's an unk. You're doing hey hey
too much? But yeah, you start to see some of
those players getting down there, they get fired up. And
my concern only, the only concern I have is like,
and this is why he's there, and he's a part
of the game because people like him. I was even
(31:50):
concerned about Kevin Garnett, who are so into the game
like nothing else matters to them, Like nothing else can
get him going, can feel that voice, he can fill
that hole, and so you worry about him a little bit,
you know what I mean, Like life has to go on.
He retired, and I think thirty two or thirty three, like, God,
will you get another forty five fifty five years? What
(32:11):
else we doing? You see them all for as yet?
Run y'all see that you see them on all fours?
Yeah that was doing too much, right, Yeah we were
fifty some years old. We can't be down there on
all fours, barking on the sideline. But I don't want
to sound like a party pooper.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
And I get it, which I'm about to poop poo it,
And I get it, like this is your school and
you have pride, and you you know, they give they
give you a credential to be on the sideline. But
I think it's unfair, and I think it's unfair to
the kids because it's their spotlight and they're going to
put the camera on Michael Oran because of who he
(32:50):
was is I should say, his career there and of
course winning through Super Bowls with the Cowboys. So I
get all of that, but I just don't I think
there's a time and place and let the kids have
their fun tonight at this game.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Lawrence Taylor isn't on the sidelines of the game. He's
in the in a suite with Michael.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Jordan and William and Mia Ham right like, like, that's
where you should be enjoying your school having fun.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You don't need to be on the sidelines.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
And you know, if you want to come during the week,
help the coach that the wide receiver coach, you know
what I mean, give some tips if kids want to
ask you questions, how do I do this?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
How do I get better?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I'm all for that grand standing during the game and
waving towels and trying to be on television, whether you
want to be or not. I just don't think that
that's where we should be and where he should be.
I think I think that there's something wrong with that.
There has to be a line where you can be apart.
You can even be on the sideline. I don't mind,
because there's always guys just here. Here's the here's the rub.
(33:58):
There are guys on the sideline that we don't know
about because they're not acting crazy right right now. There
could be an ex he just was talking about Julius
Peppers is at the game. He might be on the
sideline now, but like you don't know because he's not
going crazy. So I think that the challenge with Michael
Irvin is he was up in the press rest of
the time. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like there's a
place for you. I'm not saying don't go to the
(34:18):
game and don't support your school or anything, or or
help the coach.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
During the game.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
He I think there's a point when you can enjoy it.
We want you here. We want to build the camaraderie,
want to build the alumni. You know, to everybody coming
back so you feel the school feels the presence. We're
about to bring back old Miami ways. We're gonna be winning.
You absolutely want that because it's great for It's just
great for the atmosphere's grateful.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Recruiting is great for everything, but he's not the only
guy who played there. You can't bring everybody back.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Everybody.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
We can't have you here coming every bouncing all off
for us, barking. We can't have you here going crazy
on the sideline, sweating, going wild. But again, I think
that's the challenge, is like Mike, like, what else?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
What?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
What else do I have? And I think that's when
you talk to a lot of athletes. This has been
all I've known since I was five. Yeah, but that's
their moment, And I agree with that part. They have
to find their ways to contribute, to be a part,
to have fun, to be in the sign, but it
can't be at the cost of like you've taken all
the attention and you kind of look like there's nothing
(35:21):
else because dude, you gotta relax, Mike.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
But here here's my other issue. Though.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
You think he's the only former North I mean, former
Miami Hurricane who would like to help out or be
with the do you know what I mean? And you
couldn't make those You couldn't allow everybody to come back
who wants to come back and be on the sideline.
Do you know what your your field would look like
(35:50):
if all the players wanted to come back.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I mean, he's not the only guy who plays. Might
be the.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
He might be the biggest Miami Hurricane. I'm actually Paul
and thinking to make sure I totally get you from
the area.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I get all that, but there are other players too,
and I'm saying, I'm sure that at some point you
gotta cut it off because you can't have everybody coming back,
everybody being at the game.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
I go all the time. You know this.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You go to Dodger Stadium, not every former Dodger is
in the press box, you know, because they want to
come back or to get down on the field.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
They don't. They don't. They aren't allowed to do that.
But that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Mike his life, and for whatever reason, the Hurricanes are like,
hey Mike, just you can never come back. I would
have to have an apb out for Michael Irvin. I
would be concerned for him.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
I told you.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Buddy of mine used to talk about how we were
concerned for Kevin Garnett because like he's so passionate.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
It's like what else is he gonna do? Thank God
he's got that pot.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
And then Paul Pierce, because like he has to talk basketball,
he has to feel it. That's why his storytelling is
so great. He makes you feel like you're there. I'm like, man,
he's sweating, he's going crazy. Kevin Garnett like his blood
pressure when he gets to talking ball man, it's like whoa.
And Michael Irvin has a bit of that to them,
and Miss Smith talked about that and in the doc
(37:10):
he's just like as good as I was at Troy,
and Mike was the lifeline of our team like that
when he left and retired, because when we had the
broken neck and all that, He's like the life of
our team, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
And I'm not knocking his enthusiasm for his Alma mana
and this and this football program and all that stuff
is great. I just think that there is comes a
time where the players, those players deserve to have the
spotlight right, and it should be about them and the
cameras should be on them more so than former players
(37:46):
and guys who are like looking for.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
You said all that, Ryan, I ain't listening to none
of this man saying he about be going crazy on
the sidelines in southern Connecticut. No, I'm not even with
my name up there. I'm not your name up there.
Give you the press box or whatever, and now you
can't go crazy. I'm not going to be I can't
get on all fours knowing I'm not barking.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
You can't bark sweating, I'm blanking tie. You can't do
all that. I'm not doing all you're.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Naming the press box after you. You gotta give us something.
You got to run into a ref like a CD
lamb the other day, A running to him over that
first of Dan. That's how I know the Cowboys season.
But that was the omen right there. Ryan season is
a rap
