Speaker 3 (00:22):
You're listening to the Best of the Odd Couple.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Tiger Woods is injured. It's not a headline anymore. Rocket.
It seems to happen all the time.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It's so bad your PTI, you know, the last run
and his shoot off stuff, is that Tiger would's injured,
like you would think.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
That would be like the Hey Tiger, can I rub
it for you? Are you okay? Hey, it's it's Tiger
any excuse to bring that drop in? Yes? But yes.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Today, unfortunately, Tiger Woods announced that he underwent surgery after
rupturing his left achilles tending.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I hit it's so good today. No, he did not.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
He was wrapping up for the upcoming Masters coming taking
place in April. There has been no official timeline given
for his recovery, but medical doctors sports injury enthusiasts say, hey,
generally four to six months. Given his injury history, though,
and his propensity to keep getting injured, more than likely
(01:24):
six to nine months for Tiger Woods to be back
playing competitive golf, which he has not played in months
to begin with. I got a message. This is a
public service announcement.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
To Tiger Woods and to all golfers and just people
in general.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Tiger Woods to retire enough already. Stop it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, come on, the last time Tiger Woods was
good and playing golf out of his mind, sports writers
were using typewriters.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Stop it. It's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You got kids in college now who don't remember the
great Tiger. I was on my I was married, I
was on my honeymoon when he was winning the Masters
for the first time. He cost me my marriage. Tiger Woods,
I can't even say. It's a shell of himself. He's
a broken shell of himself. It's disheartening to hear the
(02:28):
news over and over and over Tigers banged up, Tigers heard,
Tiger's injured.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm dead serious.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You're not gonna catch the record for the most Masters, right,
I mean, most Majors. That's done. It ain't happening. You
can sit here and try to pretend. Yeah, I took
got a chance. I just need to win. I don't
know how many is it four more to pass Jack?
I just need four? No, No, it ain't happening. And
why continue to do this. It's not about money. He's
(03:03):
got all that. He's one of the greatest golfers who
ever played. Most people probably would make him number one
when it's all said and done that the start to
his career was as great as any career for anybody,
any sport, anybody. He's Tiger You don't even have to
use Woods enough. But I'm serious, like, why why ever?
(03:26):
Since the injuries and the beating that he took from
his ex wife with the golf club and all that,
it has all been downhill and Tiger Woods, to me
is now a disappointment because it's always bad news.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's a wowsy wowsy.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Woo woo every time we mentioned Tiger Woods, wow play.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
The only thing I would say different than that is
the twenty nineteen Masters, obviously, So I think there that
was a moment that brought him back. Everybody was excited.
People who hated him were excited. People who loved them
were probably saying, see, I told you he can still
get it done, and I think that revitalized him for
a little bit. The couple of issues though six back surgeries. Man,
(04:13):
the man has had six back surgeries. This believe now
you got this ruptured achilles. Obviously, we know he talks
about himself publicly that walking for four days is really
his biggest trouble, biggest issue. He had the car crash
few years ago. So it's just been a rough go
for him. But I think if there's something robbed that's
keeping him in the gang, it is him seeing Lebron
(04:33):
and Brownie have that moment.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And I really mean this.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I think if you see Tiger Woods, all the troubles
he's been through for shedding towards almost twenty years now, right,
the personal life issues, the physical issues, the losing that
have to withdraw from master tournaments. He hasn't finished in
the top twenty since that Master's win in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just think about what you just said.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He hadn't finished in the top twenty since twenty since
twenty nineteen, talking about six years, and he's had to
withdrawal from several tournaments.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But here's the thing, when do we see him as
happiest when he's anything involving Charlie. He is out there thrilled.
Charlie is obviously playing now, playing very well, and I
mean he is having the as any father, the joy
to see his son produced.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You know, he could be Charlie's a caddy.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah fine, but you know what, I think he wants
to see if he can have one last moment. I
don't even got to win the tournament. You know, in
this case, he will be the BRONI in this Lebron
James situation, and I think he will try to. I
absolutely believe he wile try to because he.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Only has to do it waiting two years.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What's he trying to do to play in a tournament
with his son, an actual PGA tournament.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And if you want to tell me that you at Augusta,
you going to tell me that they're going to riggag
so that they play together or put them together.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So if you're golf, heck, yeah, what you mean? This
is a business for you make the cut, so is Charlie.
We're gonna find a way to make this cut.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'm just trying to say they're not going to do
that and compromise and just put him in to put
him in Tiger.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Tiger make the cut. He'll make a cut. Now, will
it be the Masters or something, I don't know. We'll
have to see. That will be the ideal situation, right
My last tournament is the Masters with my son Charlie sixteen.
You have to be eighteen, so a couple more years
for him. That will give Tiger obviously some time to
get any better back from the injury. And I truly
believe he will try to go out because next year
(06:31):
Tiger will be fifty and he can get in the
senior circuit. But I think he's gonna try to stay
in the normal PGA, wait a couple of years and
have his Lebron Bronni where he will be Bronni Ken
Griffrey Ken, Griffy Sr.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And Tiger now in Charlie moment.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I truly believe it, because what else to be out
to your point, what else is there? He's the arguably
the greatest. Most people believe he is of not one A,
one B. He has all the money in the world.
Thing is one A on one B. But go ahead,
one A one T as in Tiger, and all of
a sudden that's the thing that's keeping him going.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And I think he wants to.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
That's my belief is that he's gonna want to have
that moment with his son Charlie. Whether he loses, win,
he doesn't care at that point. I had this moment
with my son. How amazing was that. I truly believe it.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I just don't think he can play. And that's the
other thing.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
He only needs a muster up one more time, right,
one moment you're talking about two years from now, Like
he can't even get the court on the course.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now Luther Vandross, he'll have a photo op.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Go there and stand next to him on the course,
that could take your picture and there you are watching
your son.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
No, what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
What do you mean with the difference is I was
in an official tournament with my son and we played
together and we had our Luther Vandross one shining moment.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
One shining moment.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think that again, always trying to dress up stuff.
The kid is supposed to be the star, not the dad,
the same way that the Lebron thing didn't work. If
Charlie's a start his own, right, then that's different. If
Charlie's not, and this is just about Tiger, because you
remember Ken Griffy Junior was a start. I'm not king
(08:10):
Griffy at that point. It will be Charlie.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Okay, it would have to be because it can't be
Tiger starring. Seen a shooting start and burn out.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
All the news I.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Hear is bad when it comes to Tiger, and I
just think, man, just just give it a rest. Don't
go out like this. Don't make people have these kids
feeling like this was the guy.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
This is the guy you're talking about. You're in college.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You got kids in college now who have only seen
Tiger Woods banged up, injured, crashing or playing bad golf
or not making cuts.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm serious, lash guy.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
You gotta remember when I was when I you know,
didn't when I didn't seal a deal after my wedding
in Tokyo watching Tiger and the Masters at least that
was nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety seve and my hair
was all black.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
All I want to hear anything about anything about your hair,
Tiger Woods. We need to just understand how you didn't
seal the deal because I was watching the golf. We
were both we were both George your nine iron.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Twelve byres How about my nine would.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
You're supposed to be using your clubs and you over
here worried about Tiger.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We were watching it. I'm not lying, No, you were.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
She was watching you like I can't believe. I mean,
I hadn't bought this little line of right for him.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
We over here in Maly.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
He was there, you over here looking ridiculous with a
red with a red polo on like you were Tiger Wood.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And I'm like, can you move out the way?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I can't believe. She go over here and You're like, babe,
you're right in front of the TV. You ain't made
a glass. Can't believe you. Rob Hall, right, Yes, thanks Tiger,
and that's him calling you.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin in Washington weekdays at seven
pm Eastern, four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Let's talk about last night for the national Game in
the NBA, and we had Shaq Shaquille O'Neal on tn
t UH talking about the Detroit Pistons and not doing
a good job.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I will be interested. You said something very interested about
ky Keunny. Great player. Now this day he plays at
his own pace. Anybody that can consistently play at their
own place and put up numbers, it's a great player.
I like the way he's playing. I like what Chauncey's doing.
Those guys play hard. My favorite player on that team
was Isaiah Stuart. Big body, hard guy, like to knock
people out.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Push who's doing it?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He said, Chauncey coach.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Okay, that's what I mean.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
You know, first of all, I don't watch Detroit. How
about that Boo boo.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I don't watch him, So that's I mean, it's sincerely.
I think you would enjoy watching the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
They played hard, is phenomenal. Jalen Durance, you're kind of big.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Okay Stewart.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And the other thing.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I don't know who the female was on this, and
she's like, well, I couldn't let that go.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm glad you didn't let it go.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I mean, the idea that you were going to let
it go because it was Shack and he messed up
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I mean, come on, and and this is the idea.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
And I'll tell you, Shaq knows he played in the league,
he knows about basketball and all that.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
But this is my pushback.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
When when people gravitate to former players and expecting them
to I guess, do homework, research and not just show
up and be a big personality, but actually know what's
going on. And if your TNT, you're embarrassed. Shack can
be embarrassed, but TNT should be embarrassed as well. You
(12:00):
know how many producers they have behind the scenes, right,
and and everything. And the idea that Shaq is going
to go out on the set sit there, they're talking
about the Pistons and he doesn't know who the coach
is or that that Chauncey Billups who's at all time
great Pistons helped the Pistons beat the Lakers in two
thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Sorry, Rob g And what the final Shaq? Get my point?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
And and and this is one of those things. Uh
And as a fan, I'm gonna say this and let
you go, what is it that you really want? Do
you want to be educated or entertained? Because if you
just want to be entertained, then he's the guy, Shaq.
But if you want to be educated, then he's not
(12:43):
the guy. And we talk about this on this radio
show all the time. We our goal is two things
and have been for the last seven years fun and informative.
We just can't have fun here. We gotta give you
some information. We gott to inform you so that you
can that stuff back to your friends, understand what's going on,
(13:03):
and have those kind of conversations.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I think that's what's made inside the NBA this show
because Kenny the Jet gives you great insight, great you know,
breakdown of the game. Ernie obviously is the maestro giving
you the fats of stacks and getting you in and
out of the highlights.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
So you get that. But then Chuck and Shack at
some point, I'm gonna say, it's terrible, fantastic. They're gonna
have their fight, their little debate.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
They're gonna argue about something, shots, gonna get pushed into
a Christmas tree, they're gonna outrun, They're gonna make fun
of Kenny's knees. And that's to me, the perfect balance.
So the bigger conversation to me is what we as
consumers of things need to understand now is you have
access to any and everything you want.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Gone to the days where you.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Turn on the TV and it's force fed to you,
you turn on the radio, it's force fed to you,
you have options. If you want absolute nothing but pure
basketball analysis, you have more, maybe more options than you've
ever had in.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The history of the mankind.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Now we have a three million podcasts of there are
podcasts where they bring I mean, they will break down
one play for an hour.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You have that.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
If you want to be entertained, you have that option.
And this is why to me, I was kind of
shocked where Lebron was kind of going at certain people
and it seemed like it was more geared towards Chuck
and that crew, Like you know exactly what that show
has been. They draw, they draw donuts coming on Charles barkleyhead.
They're there to make you laugh, They're there to drop
a few facts here and there, but overall be entertained
while you watch the game and enjoy the support. So
(14:28):
you have to know what it is. Shack ain't who
I'm going for for my great analysis. You know who
I would the woman on that You were saying, Cannas Parker,
Cannons Parkington.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I know I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
We were just saying, Cannais Parker is brilliant at if
you watch that, Cannais Parker breaks it down. Shack's now
who you go for for that? And that's okay. Now
he better be on Shackton a fool at the end
of this week, whatever the next he better shack better
be on Shackton a fool.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's what I know.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
But I think I think it's in come more than
ever you had to do your own like you have
the information. Now you have the resource. You have the websites.
We have websites and blogs and things dedicated to it,
to finding all the access and information announces you want.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I think it's disappointing if you're a fan and you're
listening to guys who played and whatnot, and they just
haven't done the work, or they don't don't know what
they're talking about or the backstory or anything that's involved
in it. I think that's why you've seen a million
of those players come and go, you know what I mean,
(15:30):
because they a or they won't they don't want to
criticize other people, or they're in bed with too many people.
I can't talk about that guy. He went to my college,
he's represented by my agent. Yeah, you know what I mean.
And then you're trapped. You're trapped so you can't really
say anything. You can't really be the best people on
(15:50):
television are people who as honest as it comes. You
can say whatever you want about Charles and you don't
like this, and he's bashing whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
He's as honest as it gets, tells you exactly what
he believes.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
So to the point of his own Detrimentive's own relationship
with Michael Jordan, his best friend exactly who you know,
he had to be honest about some stuff, and then
Mike took you know, had hard feelings for it, and
they haven't been right since. Maybe they'll come back around
at some point, you hope. But yeah, and by the way,
this is the best version of Shaq that we've got
as far as being in an you know, analyzing the
(16:22):
game and being an analyst, because if you recall, if
you watch the Inside the NBA story, like the docu
series on it, I was in that.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
They had to tell Shaq like, hey, man, I know
it's fun. I know you shack and it's cute now,
but you got to pay attention a little bit. You
got you can't come in here and be a DJ
for four hours and just go back. He literally would
just DJ during the games.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I swear to you on the first his first night
on Yeah, And then they went to a commercial break
and somebody tweeted or something I swear.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Turned up Shacks Mike because he was mumbling yeah. And
that was the first commercial break on it.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Like I was like, Wow, somebody turn up Shacks Mike
and that was how I talk.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And you're right, he's gotten better. I like, wow, we
got shuck leg numbers. I don't think you putting up
the numbers like that. Need to put them up? Do
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's what it was, and it was hard to listen to. Obviously,
he has knowledge and we know about his career as.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
A pole and Shack's not there for that. Tim Legler
is great.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But when you say not there for that, that doesn't
mean you say, Chauncey Billups is the coach of the Pistols.
That's not being there for that. And I get what
you're talking about numbers and break up. That's fine, dude,
you gotta come.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Especially consider a couple of things. One, Chauncey is a
legend that you shouldn't know that. He's not like a
random car something. You know that, man, he beat you
in two thousand and four. You don't know what Chauncey
billups right, and he has turned around the Portland team
that actually been a team you.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Gotta really beat because they were horrible last year and
a half.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Rob G. We'll bring you in.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
DeMarcus Lawrence and Michael Parson's beefing and it's pretty pretty
out in the public.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
One thing to be for have some words or saying stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But ever since Lawrence left to what Seattle, go yees Seattle?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
He went to.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Seattle and Michael Parsons called him a clown or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Rob G. Phillis in because it took another step on
this thing.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Well you mentioned it there. DeMarcus Lawrence had been a
lifelong Cowboy. He grew up in the area, so playing
for the Gallas Cowboys was a big deal and he
wanted to resign this offseason. According to multiple reports, they
didn't even offer him an extension. They'd rather eat the
dead cap than bring him back this season. That's how
they felt about him. Towards the end, they thought that
his injuries had gotten to a point where he was
(18:47):
no longer valuable enough on the field for to offset
the leadership that he does provide off the field. So
he spoke to a Seahawks blogger one of those video
podcasts that they do, about his decision to leave Dallas
and join Seattle.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And here's what DeMarcus Lawrence said.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Change the scenery is always good, you know. But Dallas
is my home made my home there. You know, my
family lives there forever going to be there. But I
know for sure I'm not gonna win a super Bowl
there out.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
So when that went viral last night, right as this
show is ending, Micah Parsons, as he's been known to do,
went on Twitter fire back saying, quote, this what rejection
and envy look like?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
This some clown blank.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
DeMarcus Lawrence, because he had time and now, who lives
on the West coast, so it was early for him,
came right back on Twitter with the tweet of his
own saying, quote, calling me a clown won't change the
fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent
less time tweeting more time winning, I would not have left.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And you know what, thank goodness for DeMarcus Lawrence really
because he just hit it right on the head Kelvin,
And we've talked about it. People can do whatever they
want in their spare time and the offseason or whatever,
but the Cowboys defense hasn't been good enough, and we've
seen what an embarrassing year it was, especially early on
(20:12):
when they were giving up a forty piece of chicken
every week, including that playoff loss to Green Bay, and
Michael Parsons should be. At one point people were talking
about him in the same vein as a Lawrence Taylor,
and I think that was way premature. I get it
he got off to a great start, but he hadn't
been close to Lawrence Taylor. The closest might be walking
(20:36):
by him at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You know what I mean, when we were in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, that's about as close as he is the Lawrence
Taylor at this point.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And it was bad.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And he's done nothing more than to antagonize other players,
insult his own teammates, all kinds of stuff that to
me just doesn't doesn't feel good as far as having
a guy.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Be a leader or somebody there.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It just seems like he's all worried about the future
in life after football, rather than just digging in and
putting up, you know, and doing your best ten or
twelve years or whatever and going on at it and
then from there, if you make an impact as a
player and you have a personality, you have an opportunity.
(21:22):
It's just that I don't understand why it's now. And
Lawrence isn't the only one. There were other players who
privately said stuff about him doing all the other stuff.
This is not a one guy. People know your work,
habits your teammates. They know who works hard, who's skating,
(21:43):
you know who's not locked in. And I think that
that's where Michael Parsons is. I said it before, We
need to change the name of his podcast to turn
off his micah because that's what needs to happen in Dallas.
If this guy really wants to live up to his potential.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
It's just a it really is.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
This dude, DeMarcus Lawrence gave his all to an organization,
and obviously he was paid, so it was a fair exchange.
But he's moving on and it's his right to tell
his story. It's his right to share why he wants
to leave. It's his right by the way, rob to
spit facts, and he ain't winning a super Bowl in Dallas.
You know why they've won a super Bowl almost thirty years. Okay,
(22:25):
they haven't gone to an NFC Championship in twenty nine years.
You know they're the only team to have two dudes
go owing three indivisional rounds. That would be Tony Romo
and that would be Dak Prescott. So don't get mad
at Demarsky Lawrence for spitting facts.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Also keep my name and what I got going on
out your mouth? He said, hey, I always love Dallas.
It'll always be home, but I wouldn't go win the
Super Bowl there. He didn't say, by the way, I
don't like Micah in the defense is trash and he ain't.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
A start or Dak Prescott is a bomb exactly so.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
And then it called him now this in the calling
man a clown as wild. See, that's where it gets.
If he said, hey, man, don't worry about us. We're
gonna be good without you, all right, that will be
already pushing I go to call somebody a clown, not
text messages where y'all had some personal beat, but to
put it out there on the internet. I disrespect I
think that's very disrespectful and I don't respect somebody who's
doing that for a man who didn't say anything to you.
(23:19):
And at this point, market Michael Parsons is becoming more
known for defending his tweets and defending his podcast then
he has defensively on the field.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Michael Parsons is more known for that.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
He's more known for backpedaling and having the backtrack and
say different things online and podcasts and social media then
his own defensive stands and back pedaling on the defensive
side of the ball. Like, I'm disappointed again. And what
he's become is more of a distraction and more of
like like you know, the teenagers who gossip, but the
(23:52):
teenagers who get into trouble all the time on online.
That's what he's become. And it's a disappointment because of
how great he is. He is a great player, and
we should be talking about his prowess on the field,
not his prowess with his Twitter fingers.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Matter of fact, even Lawrence Taylor did say something about it, correctly.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
He didn't Lawrence Taylor said Lace Taylor, he said less
of the podcasting more of the footballing. So this is
just getting odd when a young man has chosen to
become and put his nose in every conversation. And I'm
gonna say this again for those young people who may
be listening to the Odd Couple. Just because you can
doesn't mean you should. So, yes, you can have a podcast.
(24:34):
Yes you could have responded to DeMarcus Lawrence's you know
his comments. Yes you can talk about the top ten quarterbacks. Oh,
by the way, you might want to put yours in there.
And yes you can have your own open discussions about
your own negotiations publicly about your own but you shouldn't
and that would be something I would tell Michael Parsons.
(24:54):
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
And I do want to say that, you know, you
talked about calling somebody a clown. A lot of people
wonder why they get blocked on my Twitter, and it's
real simple. When you get into name calling, you get blocked.
So if you by the way, it's my Twitter, and
I'll block it by walk to block it, walk to block.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
By walk to, you would block to if they tried.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
To dish you.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It's real simple. So you start with any kind of names.
If you want to talk about the topic or debate
me right and disagree, but you have a take, I'll
go with that. But as soon as you start the
name calling, you get blocked immediately.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I just I just can't believe he jumped in another
man's business life, like he literally did not mention him
at all.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
All he said was, hey, I love Dallas. Dallas's home
from there as.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
If he owns the Cowboys? Did Jerry Jones shine in
like like what?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
What?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
What made you feel like you needed to chime in
on that?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
And again, de Lawrence, they spending nothing facts, rob nothing
but facts. And if you felt that type of way, Michael,
then you rally up the team and y'all shut everybody
up on Sundays and in the postseason

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Tiger Woods is injured. It's not a headline anymore. Rocket.
It seems to happen all the time.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It's so bad your PTI, you know, the last run
and his shoot off stuff, is that Tiger would's injured,
like you would think.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
That would be like the Hey Tiger, can I rub
it for you? Are you okay? Hey, it's it's Tiger
any excuse to bring that drop in? Yes? But yes.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Today, unfortunately, Tiger Woods announced that he underwent surgery after
rupturing his left achilles tending.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I hit it's so good today. No, he did not.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
He was wrapping up for the upcoming Masters coming taking
place in April. There has been no official timeline given
for his recovery, but medical doctors sports injury enthusiasts say, hey,
generally four to six months. Given his injury history, though,
and his propensity to keep getting injured, more than likely
(01:24):
six to nine months for Tiger Woods to be back
playing competitive golf, which he has not played in months
to begin with. I got a message. This is a
public service announcement.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
To Tiger Woods and to all golfers and just people
in general.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Tiger Woods to retire enough already. Stop it.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, come on, the last time Tiger Woods was
good and playing golf out of his mind, sports writers
were using typewriters.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Stop it. It's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You got kids in college now who don't remember the
great Tiger. I was on my I was married, I
was on my honeymoon when he was winning the Masters
for the first time. He cost me my marriage. Tiger Woods,
I can't even say. It's a shell of himself. He's
a broken shell of himself. It's disheartening to hear the
(02:28):
news over and over and over Tigers banged up, Tigers heard,
Tiger's injured.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm dead serious.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You're not gonna catch the record for the most Masters, right,
I mean, most Majors. That's done. It ain't happening. You
can sit here and try to pretend. Yeah, I took
got a chance. I just need to win. I don't
know how many is it four more to pass Jack?
I just need four? No, No, it ain't happening. And
why continue to do this. It's not about money. He's
(03:03):
got all that. He's one of the greatest golfers who
ever played. Most people probably would make him number one
when it's all said and done that the start to
his career was as great as any career for anybody,
any sport, anybody. He's Tiger You don't even have to
use Woods enough. But I'm serious, like, why why ever?
(03:26):
Since the injuries and the beating that he took from
his ex wife with the golf club and all that,
it has all been downhill and Tiger Woods, to me
is now a disappointment because it's always bad news.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's a wowsy wowsy.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Woo woo every time we mentioned Tiger Woods, wow play.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
The only thing I would say different than that is
the twenty nineteen Masters, obviously, So I think there that
was a moment that brought him back. Everybody was excited.
People who hated him were excited. People who loved them
were probably saying, see, I told you he can still
get it done, and I think that revitalized him for
a little bit. The couple of issues though six back surgeries. Man,
(04:13):
the man has had six back surgeries. This believe now
you got this ruptured achilles. Obviously, we know he talks
about himself publicly that walking for four days is really
his biggest trouble, biggest issue. He had the car crash
few years ago. So it's just been a rough go
for him. But I think if there's something robbed that's
keeping him in the gang, it is him seeing Lebron
(04:33):
and Brownie have that moment.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And I really mean this.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I think if you see Tiger Woods, all the troubles
he's been through for shedding towards almost twenty years now, right,
the personal life issues, the physical issues, the losing that
have to withdraw from master tournaments. He hasn't finished in
the top twenty since that Master's win in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just think about what you just said.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
He hadn't finished in the top twenty since twenty since
twenty nineteen, talking about six years, and he's had to
withdrawal from several tournaments.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But here's the thing, when do we see him as
happiest when he's anything involving Charlie. He is out there thrilled.
Charlie is obviously playing now, playing very well, and I
mean he is having the as any father, the joy
to see his son produced.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You know, he could be Charlie's a caddy.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah fine, but you know what, I think he wants
to see if he can have one last moment. I
don't even got to win the tournament. You know, in
this case, he will be the BRONI in this Lebron
James situation, and I think he will try to. I
absolutely believe he wile try to because he.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Only has to do it waiting two years.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What's he trying to do to play in a tournament
with his son, an actual PGA tournament.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And if you want to tell me that you at Augusta,
you going to tell me that they're going to riggag
so that they play together or put them together.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So if you're golf, heck, yeah, what you mean? This
is a business for you make the cut, so is Charlie.
We're gonna find a way to make this cut.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'm just trying to say they're not going to do
that and compromise and just put him in to put
him in Tiger.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Tiger make the cut. He'll make a cut. Now, will
it be the Masters or something, I don't know. We'll
have to see. That will be the ideal situation, right
My last tournament is the Masters with my son Charlie sixteen.
You have to be eighteen, so a couple more years
for him. That will give Tiger obviously some time to
get any better back from the injury. And I truly
believe he will try to go out because next year
(06:31):
Tiger will be fifty and he can get in the
senior circuit. But I think he's gonna try to stay
in the normal PGA, wait a couple of years and
have his Lebron Bronni where he will be Bronni Ken
Griffrey Ken, Griffy Sr.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And Tiger now in Charlie moment.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I truly believe it, because what else to be out
to your point, what else is there? He's the arguably
the greatest. Most people believe he is of not one A,
one B. He has all the money in the world.
Thing is one A on one B. But go ahead,
one A one T as in Tiger, and all of
a sudden that's the thing that's keeping him going.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And I think he wants to.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
That's my belief is that he's gonna want to have
that moment with his son Charlie. Whether he loses, win,
he doesn't care at that point. I had this moment
with my son. How amazing was that. I truly believe it.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I just don't think he can play. And that's the
other thing.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
He only needs a muster up one more time, right,
one moment you're talking about two years from now, Like
he can't even get the court on the course.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now Luther Vandross, he'll have a photo op.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Go there and stand next to him on the course,
that could take your picture and there you are watching
your son.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
No, what's the difference.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
What do you mean with the difference is I was
in an official tournament with my son and we played
together and we had our Luther Vandross one shining moment.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
One shining moment.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think that again, always trying to dress up stuff.
The kid is supposed to be the star, not the dad,
the same way that the Lebron thing didn't work. If
Charlie's a start his own, right, then that's different. If
Charlie's not, and this is just about Tiger, because you
remember Ken Griffy Junior was a start. I'm not king
(08:10):
Griffy at that point. It will be Charlie.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Okay, it would have to be because it can't be
Tiger starring. Seen a shooting start and burn out.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
All the news I.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Hear is bad when it comes to Tiger, and I
just think, man, just just give it a rest. Don't
go out like this. Don't make people have these kids
feeling like this was the guy.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
This is the guy you're talking about. You're in college.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You got kids in college now who have only seen
Tiger Woods banged up, injured, crashing or playing bad golf
or not making cuts.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm serious, lash guy.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
You gotta remember when I was when I you know,
didn't when I didn't seal a deal after my wedding
in Tokyo watching Tiger and the Masters at least that
was nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety seve and my hair
was all black.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
All I want to hear anything about anything about your hair,
Tiger Woods. We need to just understand how you didn't
seal the deal because I was watching the golf. We
were both we were both George your nine iron.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Twelve byres How about my nine would.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
You're supposed to be using your clubs and you over
here worried about Tiger.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
We were watching it. I'm not lying, No, you were.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
She was watching you like I can't believe. I mean,
I hadn't bought this little line of right for him.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
We over here in Maly.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
He was there, you over here looking ridiculous with a
red with a red polo on like you were Tiger Wood.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
And I'm like, can you move out the way?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I can't believe. She go over here and You're like, babe,
you're right in front of the TV. You ain't made
a glass. Can't believe you. Rob Hall, right, Yes, thanks Tiger,
and that's him calling you.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin in Washington weekdays at seven
pm Eastern, four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Let's talk about last night for the national Game in
the NBA, and we had Shaq Shaquille O'Neal on tn
t UH talking about the Detroit Pistons and not doing
a good job.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I will be interested. You said something very interested about
ky Keunny. Great player. Now this day he plays at
his own pace. Anybody that can consistently play at their
own place and put up numbers, it's a great player.
I like the way he's playing. I like what Chauncey's doing.
Those guys play hard. My favorite player on that team
was Isaiah Stuart. Big body, hard guy, like to knock
people out.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Push who's doing it?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
He said, Chauncey coach.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Okay, that's what I mean.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
You know, first of all, I don't watch Detroit. How
about that Boo boo.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I don't watch him, So that's I mean, it's sincerely.
I think you would enjoy watching the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
They played hard, is phenomenal. Jalen Durance, you're kind of big.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Okay Stewart.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And the other thing.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I don't know who the female was on this, and
she's like, well, I couldn't let that go.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I'm glad you didn't let it go.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I mean, the idea that you were going to let
it go because it was Shack and he messed up
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I mean, come on, and and this is the idea.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
And I'll tell you, Shaq knows he played in the league,
he knows about basketball and all that.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
But this is my pushback.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
When when people gravitate to former players and expecting them
to I guess, do homework, research and not just show
up and be a big personality, but actually know what's
going on. And if your TNT, you're embarrassed. Shack can
be embarrassed, but TNT should be embarrassed as well. You
(12:00):
know how many producers they have behind the scenes, right,
and and everything. And the idea that Shaq is going
to go out on the set sit there, they're talking
about the Pistons and he doesn't know who the coach
is or that that Chauncey Billups who's at all time
great Pistons helped the Pistons beat the Lakers in two
thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Sorry, Rob g And what the final Shaq? Get my point?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
And and and this is one of those things. Uh
And as a fan, I'm gonna say this and let
you go, what is it that you really want? Do
you want to be educated or entertained? Because if you
just want to be entertained, then he's the guy, Shaq.
But if you want to be educated, then he's not
(12:43):
the guy. And we talk about this on this radio
show all the time. We our goal is two things
and have been for the last seven years fun and informative.
We just can't have fun here. We gotta give you
some information. We gott to inform you so that you
can that stuff back to your friends, understand what's going on,
(13:03):
and have those kind of conversations.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I think that's what's made inside the NBA this show
because Kenny the Jet gives you great insight, great you know,
breakdown of the game. Ernie obviously is the maestro giving
you the fats of stacks and getting you in and
out of the highlights.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
So you get that. But then Chuck and Shack at
some point, I'm gonna say, it's terrible, fantastic. They're gonna
have their fight, their little debate.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
They're gonna argue about something, shots, gonna get pushed into
a Christmas tree, they're gonna outrun, They're gonna make fun
of Kenny's knees. And that's to me, the perfect balance.
So the bigger conversation to me is what we as
consumers of things need to understand now is you have
access to any and everything you want.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Gone to the days where you.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Turn on the TV and it's force fed to you,
you turn on the radio, it's force fed to you,
you have options. If you want absolute nothing but pure
basketball analysis, you have more, maybe more options than you've
ever had in.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
The history of the mankind.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Now we have a three million podcasts of there are
podcasts where they bring I mean, they will break down
one play for an hour.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You have that.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
If you want to be entertained, you have that option.
And this is why to me, I was kind of
shocked where Lebron was kind of going at certain people
and it seemed like it was more geared towards Chuck
and that crew, Like you know exactly what that show
has been. They draw, they draw donuts coming on Charles barkleyhead.
They're there to make you laugh, They're there to drop
a few facts here and there, but overall be entertained
while you watch the game and enjoy the support. So
(14:28):
you have to know what it is. Shack ain't who
I'm going for for my great analysis. You know who
I would the woman on that You were saying, Cannas Parker,
Cannons Parkington.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
I know I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
We were just saying, Cannais Parker is brilliant at if
you watch that, Cannais Parker breaks it down. Shack's now
who you go for for that? And that's okay. Now
he better be on Shackton a fool at the end
of this week, whatever the next he better shack better
be on Shackton a fool.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's what I know.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
But I think I think it's in come more than
ever you had to do your own like you have
the information. Now you have the resource. You have the websites.
We have websites and blogs and things dedicated to it,
to finding all the access and information announces you want.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I think it's disappointing if you're a fan and you're
listening to guys who played and whatnot, and they just
haven't done the work, or they don't don't know what
they're talking about or the backstory or anything that's involved
in it. I think that's why you've seen a million
of those players come and go, you know what I mean,
(15:30):
because they a or they won't they don't want to
criticize other people, or they're in bed with too many people.
I can't talk about that guy. He went to my college,
he's represented by my agent. Yeah, you know what I mean.
And then you're trapped. You're trapped so you can't really
say anything. You can't really be the best people on
(15:50):
television are people who as honest as it comes. You
can say whatever you want about Charles and you don't
like this, and he's bashing whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
He's as honest as it gets, tells you exactly what
he believes.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
So to the point of his own Detrimentive's own relationship
with Michael Jordan, his best friend exactly who you know,
he had to be honest about some stuff, and then
Mike took you know, had hard feelings for it, and
they haven't been right since. Maybe they'll come back around
at some point, you hope. But yeah, and by the way,
this is the best version of Shaq that we've got
as far as being in an you know, analyzing the
(16:22):
game and being an analyst, because if you recall, if
you watch the Inside the NBA story, like the docu
series on it, I was in that.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
They had to tell Shaq like, hey, man, I know
it's fun. I know you shack and it's cute now,
but you got to pay attention a little bit. You
got you can't come in here and be a DJ
for four hours and just go back. He literally would
just DJ during the games.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I swear to you on the first his first night
on Yeah, And then they went to a commercial break
and somebody tweeted or something I swear.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Turned up Shacks Mike because he was mumbling yeah. And
that was the first commercial break on it.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Like I was like, Wow, somebody turn up Shacks Mike
and that was how I talk.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And you're right, he's gotten better. I like, wow, we
got shuck leg numbers. I don't think you putting up
the numbers like that. Need to put them up? Do
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's what it was, and it was hard to listen to. Obviously,
he has knowledge and we know about his career as.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
A pole and Shack's not there for that. Tim Legler
is great.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But when you say not there for that, that doesn't
mean you say, Chauncey Billups is the coach of the Pistols.
That's not being there for that. And I get what
you're talking about numbers and break up. That's fine, dude,
you gotta come.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Especially consider a couple of things. One, Chauncey is a
legend that you shouldn't know that. He's not like a
random car something. You know that, man, he beat you
in two thousand and four. You don't know what Chauncey
billups right, and he has turned around the Portland team
that actually been a team you.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Gotta really beat because they were horrible last year and
a half.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Rob G. We'll bring you in.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
DeMarcus Lawrence and Michael Parson's beefing and it's pretty pretty
out in the public.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
One thing to be for have some words or saying stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But ever since Lawrence left to what Seattle, go yees Seattle?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
He went to.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Seattle and Michael Parsons called him a clown or whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Rob G. Phillis in because it took another step on
this thing.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Well you mentioned it there. DeMarcus Lawrence had been a
lifelong Cowboy. He grew up in the area, so playing
for the Gallas Cowboys was a big deal and he
wanted to resign this offseason. According to multiple reports, they
didn't even offer him an extension. They'd rather eat the
dead cap than bring him back this season. That's how
they felt about him. Towards the end, they thought that
his injuries had gotten to a point where he was
(18:47):
no longer valuable enough on the field for to offset
the leadership that he does provide off the field. So
he spoke to a Seahawks blogger one of those video
podcasts that they do, about his decision to leave Dallas
and join Seattle.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
And here's what DeMarcus Lawrence said.
Speaker 7 (19:05):
Change the scenery is always good, you know. But Dallas
is my home made my home there. You know, my
family lives there forever going to be there. But I
know for sure I'm not gonna win a super Bowl
there out.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
So when that went viral last night, right as this
show is ending, Micah Parsons, as he's been known to do,
went on Twitter fire back saying, quote, this what rejection
and envy look like?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
This some clown blank.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
DeMarcus Lawrence, because he had time and now, who lives
on the West coast, so it was early for him,
came right back on Twitter with the tweet of his
own saying, quote, calling me a clown won't change the
fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent
less time tweeting more time winning, I would not have left.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And you know what, thank goodness for DeMarcus Lawrence really
because he just hit it right on the head Kelvin,
And we've talked about it. People can do whatever they
want in their spare time and the offseason or whatever,
but the Cowboys defense hasn't been good enough, and we've
seen what an embarrassing year it was, especially early on
(20:12):
when they were giving up a forty piece of chicken
every week, including that playoff loss to Green Bay, and
Michael Parsons should be. At one point people were talking
about him in the same vein as a Lawrence Taylor,
and I think that was way premature. I get it
he got off to a great start, but he hadn't
been close to Lawrence Taylor. The closest might be walking
(20:36):
by him at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You know what I mean, when we were in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, that's about as close as he is the Lawrence
Taylor at this point.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And it was bad.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
And he's done nothing more than to antagonize other players,
insult his own teammates, all kinds of stuff that to
me just doesn't doesn't feel good as far as having
a guy.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Be a leader or somebody there.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It just seems like he's all worried about the future
in life after football, rather than just digging in and
putting up, you know, and doing your best ten or
twelve years or whatever and going on at it and
then from there, if you make an impact as a
player and you have a personality, you have an opportunity.
(21:22):
It's just that I don't understand why it's now. And
Lawrence isn't the only one. There were other players who
privately said stuff about him doing all the other stuff.
This is not a one guy. People know your work,
habits your teammates. They know who works hard, who's skating,
(21:43):
you know who's not locked in. And I think that
that's where Michael Parsons is. I said it before, We
need to change the name of his podcast to turn
off his micah because that's what needs to happen in Dallas.
If this guy really wants to live up to his potential.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
It's just a it really is.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
This dude, DeMarcus Lawrence gave his all to an organization,
and obviously he was paid, so it was a fair exchange.
But he's moving on and it's his right to tell
his story. It's his right to share why he wants
to leave. It's his right by the way, rob to
spit facts, and he ain't winning a super Bowl in Dallas.
You know why they've won a super Bowl almost thirty years. Okay,
(22:25):
they haven't gone to an NFC Championship in twenty nine years.
You know they're the only team to have two dudes
go owing three indivisional rounds. That would be Tony Romo
and that would be Dak Prescott. So don't get mad
at Demarsky Lawrence for spitting facts.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Also keep my name and what I got going on
out your mouth? He said, hey, I always love Dallas.
It'll always be home, but I wouldn't go win the
Super Bowl there. He didn't say, by the way, I
don't like Micah in the defense is trash and he ain't.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
A start or Dak Prescott is a bomb exactly so.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
And then it called him now this in the calling
man a clown as wild. See, that's where it gets.
If he said, hey, man, don't worry about us. We're
gonna be good without you, all right, that will be
already pushing I go to call somebody a clown, not
text messages where y'all had some personal beat, but to
put it out there on the internet. I disrespect I
think that's very disrespectful and I don't respect somebody who's
doing that for a man who didn't say anything to you.
(23:19):
And at this point, market Michael Parsons is becoming more
known for defending his tweets and defending his podcast then
he has defensively on the field.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Michael Parsons is more known for that.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
He's more known for backpedaling and having the backtrack and
say different things online and podcasts and social media then
his own defensive stands and back pedaling on the defensive
side of the ball. Like, I'm disappointed again. And what
he's become is more of a distraction and more of
like like you know, the teenagers who gossip, but the
(23:52):
teenagers who get into trouble all the time on online.
That's what he's become. And it's a disappointment because of
how great he is. He is a great player, and
we should be talking about his prowess on the field,
not his prowess with his Twitter fingers.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Matter of fact, even Lawrence Taylor did say something about it, correctly.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
He didn't Lawrence Taylor said Lace Taylor, he said less
of the podcasting more of the footballing. So this is
just getting odd when a young man has chosen to
become and put his nose in every conversation. And I'm
gonna say this again for those young people who may
be listening to the Odd Couple. Just because you can
doesn't mean you should. So, yes, you can have a podcast.
(24:34):
Yes you could have responded to DeMarcus Lawrence's you know
his comments. Yes you can talk about the top ten quarterbacks. Oh,
by the way, you might want to put yours in there.
And yes you can have your own open discussions about
your own negotiations publicly about your own but you shouldn't
and that would be something I would tell Michael Parsons.
(24:54):
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
And I do want to say that, you know, you
talked about calling somebody a clown. A lot of people
wonder why they get blocked on my Twitter, and it's
real simple. When you get into name calling, you get blocked.
So if you by the way, it's my Twitter, and
I'll block it by walk to block it, walk to block.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
By walk to, you would block to if they tried.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
To dish you.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It's real simple. So you start with any kind of names.
If you want to talk about the topic or debate
me right and disagree, but you have a take, I'll
go with that. But as soon as you start the
name calling, you get blocked immediately.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I just I just can't believe he jumped in another
man's business life, like he literally did not mention him
at all.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
All he said was, hey, I love Dallas. Dallas's home
from there as.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
If he owns the Cowboys? Did Jerry Jones shine in
like like what?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
What?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
What made you feel like you needed to chime in
on that?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
And again, de Lawrence, they spending nothing facts, rob nothing
but facts. And if you felt that type of way, Michael,
then you rally up the team and y'all shut everybody
up on Sundays and in the postseason
