(04:09):
media gurule and Mo my personal lintern this semester. Mo ways,
they're all on the other side of the glass. Come on,
Chris Brussard on this trash talking Tuesday. Let's kick some ass.
Let's do just that. And speaking of kicking tail, that's
what my Lex, Yes, my LSU Tigers did. Here we go, Chris,

(04:32):
I was. I'm a Pelican rober I was born in Louis.
Told me about Iowa clean and Maliana. I'm serious. As
uncle's cousins he had, he had a bruce artist like
Johnson or Smith. Now he had a bowl of a
dirty rice and a frusca and now he's from Louis.

(04:53):
Every Christmas we get a finic real gumbo. We make
ben ye crawfish, a tow fat jump Belah bou dang
all of it. I am a Louisiana boy and today
I am a champion. That's right. Did he set the side?
That is absolutely right? Rod, sing with it, groove with me,

(05:15):
rocking to it right now? Oh, go ahead? This is
all you? Yeah boy, the LSU Tigers, congratulations. And I'm
a reporter. I don't root for teams. That's fine, that's
just I'm a reporter. I've been that, I've been there.
I'm not a I'm not a big fan boy, you know,

(05:36):
I don't really I picked him to win. I'm happy
about that, but I'm not all in. You were a
fan boy yesterday for your boy Aaron. I want to
get to that late. I want get to that L
say that every day. You put up Aaron Rodgers every
day because because you do, can we get to the
man of the hour? Go ahead? That's Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow.

(05:58):
Rod Parker was outstanding. It's not an argument because you
agree with me, I com deleted. He completed the greatest
season ever for a college quarterback. We agree on that. Yes,
I don't have any issues. Nothing was unbelievable and in
the playoffs, in the postseason, he had seventy, completed seventy

(06:19):
percent of his passes, and had more touchdowns than the
what was it, was it the Big ten or whatever?
He has the Big ten in the back twelve. I mean, well,
here it is. He had more touchdowns two playoff games
this year's fourteen than the Big ten has scored total
in total. They've got thirteen touchdowns in their playoff history.

(06:42):
That's what I'm saying. Back twelve has twelve or eleven
in their playoffs. Here, absolutely ridiculous, and he had fourteen.
Now the question is obviously he's, you know, gonna be
in the draft, and it looks like the top pick.
Some people don't think he should be. They think maybe
two of should be the first pick. Cincinnati has it

(07:03):
with Cincinnati in the history of that franchise. You just
can't take You can't take a chance to me on
two of with an injury. I'm sorry. If if it was,
if everything was fine and he was healthy, then maybe
I might take a different look at it, Chris, But
I just can't. You've had you have, You've had so
much bad luck, and the last thing you need to

(07:23):
do is go take a guy who got hurt twice,
right and then he comes to Cincinnati and what I'm
just saying, I just a guy who just had the
best college football season for a quarterback ever and maybe
other than Barry Sanders year right, maybe the greatest offensive
put output of anybody, because Barry Sanders didn't win the

(07:45):
championship when he had the twenty six hundred yards. So
so you're gonna pass on that guy. I know. I'm sorry.
I can't pass on him, and he could be a
bus and then not work out, But I'm not going
to overlook what the guy just did. I'm with you,
I mean, can't do it. And you brought up a
good point because people are talking about the injury with TWA. No,

(08:05):
it's not the injury and I'm not trying to say
and all that, but he's been injury prone. Yes, so
I pray that he'll have a healthy NFL career, But
you can't overlook the fact that in college he was
somewhat injury prone. What don't we just see with the Pelicans. No,
I'm not with Zion and Chris Zion. He had a

(08:30):
history he so you could go, oh, wow, this is
this this wow, this is what bad luck? No, you
said it before we talked about it. He had three
injuries going back to high school and two in college.
So don't act like you're surprise. And I'm not saying
that that should make you not want to take him,
but don't. When you look at people and people, some

(08:51):
people get hurt and some people don't get hurt. Now
those are just facts. No, I'm with you. You have
to go with Joe Burrow. Um, what didn't he show you?
What I like to Rob is that we saw him
in a pro style offense. I saw him in the
New Orleans Saints offense. That's what LS you ran. You
could go there and if you want a nitpick and

(09:12):
tell me he doesn't do this, and tell me do that.
That's all fine. Against the best competition on college football, right,
seven top ten teams they played, period, and the story again,
he didn't. It's like everybody's top five teams. It's like
Rob g who bought in the Clemson because of their
their history that they had won two up three, right,

(09:35):
But when you look at this past year, they hadn't
beaten anybody. I think they'd beat one team, right, They'd
beat Ohio State. That was it. All the russ were.
They didn't beat anybody. So when push came to show
the team that won against all the good teams, they won,
and I wasn't surprised. We'll rob to your point. Joe
Burrow his last three games Georgia, Oklahoma, Clemson, he completed

(09:58):
seventy percent of his passes, sixteen touchdowns, no picks, ninety
seven point eight QBR and throwing one hundred and twenty
rushing yards and two TVs for good measure. And that's
not even counting the nearly four hundred yards and three
touchdowns he had against Alabama. And Chris, you're gonna talking
so far out of picking that guy. N No, you

(10:19):
and and you gotta. I know they make a lot
of mistakes, but they can't make that. Now there are
some a lot of people are thrown out comps and
who they think he's liking. You know, we're not claiming
to be quarterback guru. We're not former coaches, so that's
not where we're coming from. Our guy, Joel Klatt, our
colleague here in Fox, he compared him to Joe Montana

(10:43):
coming out of college. Now that and obviously we're not
saying when we throw out these names, we're not saying
he's gonna be as good as now the goat, right,
but he was the wasn't a fourth round pick out
of note third round? Okay, so this this kid, we
know when you hear that topic, he's gonna be the
hop pick. I don't know how you can really say stylistically.

(11:03):
You know, here's what I Rob g gave us a
few names. Uh B minus Aaron Rodgers. Okay, I don't
know what that is, but uh a B minus Aaron Rodgers. Okay,
it's just all as strong as Aaron Rodgers as a
strong way straight. What was your other? What was your other?
The perfect the perfect version Baker Mayfield because Baker Mayfield

(11:27):
is accurate. He has a lot of swag. A lot
of quarterbacks who are accurate. He has a lot of swagger.
He can move around a little bit, but he's but
exactly so, I don't see Baker at all. Well, I don't.
Here here's the here's the reason why I say Baker. Now,
Baker has some tendencies that go away a little too far.
I'm not going to deny that. Joe Burrow after the
game is smoking a victory cigar with a hat that

(11:48):
says well and down Joe on you know what I mean,
you can't fit that on a hat. That's not what
I said. So stuffing like that. So he has like
that no no, no version swag, but he doesn't do
I think a lot. You don't think Jameis Winston had
that right. That's why I'm saying he's the ideal version
behind in the locker room. He he's the He's what

(12:08):
people hoped Baker Mayfield was when they tried to classify him.
This is what made him number one and Bazell, I mean,
come on, does he do you think he plays like Baker?
Baker at Oklahoma played a lot like that thing the
ball over the field. Here, I'm gonna throw this out
and and you know what, you made a mistake that
had said Rob Parker, Joe, I'm going to movie on movie.

(12:33):
Craig mel was like, yeah, good joke. Anyway, I'm gonna
compare him a little bit to Tom Brady. And here's why.
And obviously Rob tom Brady's sixth round pick, this guy's
gonna be who didn't do it? You didn't have a
lot of successive mission. I mean, they won, they were
highly ranked when he was they did all right, But Yeah,
he wasn't. He wasn't lightening it up obviously. But my

(12:56):
point is this a year ago, nobody thought, not even
a year ago, a few months ago, nobody even had
Joe Burrow on their draft radar. So in that regard, right,
in that regard, he was kind of like Brady, a
late bloomer, that's what I mean, a late bloomer. Not
the strongest arm, but certainly strong enough. Tom Brady throws

(13:19):
an outstanding deep ball. I mean some of those pasts yesterday.
He plays right in stride to these receivers, and and
he's got He is incredibly competitive. I love his competitiveness,
his toughness. You know, it's understated, like you might not
think he's all that competitive like Brady, but it does

(13:39):
come out and you see it. And he has what
I think are the intangrals. He's clearly was the leader
that team steps in a few months ago because and
automatically becomes the leader on the team laden with NFL talent.
So that's why I kind of look at him, not
that he's gonna be Joe Tom Brady, but I kind

(14:01):
of see some comparison. Yeah, I don't know, I guess,
uh to a certain extent. What did he have last
year numbers? Anything? Right? I mean, he's never started. That's
that's one knock I'm saying. When he was when he
played though, fifty eight percent, sixteen touchdowns and five picks.
So he was just okay, you know what I mean.

(14:23):
But some people blossom later and maybe it all came
together and you get your confidence and you know, if
you're playing sports, you feel good and things get off
to a good start and all of a sudden you
could grow into it. But Chris um, it'll be interesting.
And you know some people are also already telling him
he shouldn't go to Cincinnati and he should say he

(14:43):
doesn't want to play for that organization or what I'm
I'm not with that. And he's from Ohio. I don't
see him. I mean a chance to go there, and
then it's a low ceiling like challenge. It's a challenge
that you could be the guy to bring back the organization.
And and they haven't won, you know, they they went
to the super Bowl a couple times, like they've been.

(15:04):
Haven't been a horrible friend, No, no, not at all.
Marvin Lewis was getting them to the playoffs, but he
was there long enough that they lost seven playoff games.
Remember he was over seven. It is seven years in
the playoffs, so he might be able to get there
and get them to win a game or something. So
I don't this whole talk about not going to Cincinnati.
I'm not with them. No, I'm with you, all right?
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. You want to

(15:27):
go there for the Skyline? Chili? Eight seven, seven nine nine,
six sixty three sixty nine. You know I lived in
Cincinnati two You ain't the Skyline? Did you like it?
I was a kid from there. It's just okay. The
first thing they did was take me out the first
time I got to since the skyline. Yeah, a half
chili and I was like chili dog and the chili
dogs were big there. Yeah, all right, what do you think?

(15:47):
How would Joe burrows skills translate to the NFL? Is
he definitely the number one pick over Ta. We'll continue
the conversation with you next eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox, It's The Eye Couple. Fox Sports Radio. Be
sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple with
Chris Brussar then Rob Parker weekdays at seven pm Eastern
four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart

(16:11):
Radio app. It is the I Couple Chris and Rob
on a trash Talking Tuesday. That's why Alex is in.
He wants to be here for trash talk, right, and
he also wanted to throw together some of his his jams.
It's a DJ Alex typeshr Tuesday, of course. All right.
Let me let me ask you this about Geico. Do

(16:31):
you own or your home? Sure? You do one or
the other. Fortunately, Geico makes it easy to bundle your
home and your auto insurance. It's a good thing too,
because having a home is hard to work. Go to
Geico dot com, get a quote and see how much
you could save. Is Geico dot com. It's easy. I'm
telling you. You You want to say money, go to Geico
dot com. All right, we threw it out to you.

(16:52):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. How do you
think Joe Burrow will translate to the n f L.
Go to Joe in Huntington Beach, California. Joe you own
with Chris and Rob the Eye Couple. What's up, guys?
How I'm good man? How are you guys? Great? Great? Hey, listen.
I think Joe Burrow is is gonna translate well to

(17:14):
the NFL. He may not. It may take him a while,
it may take him a few years. One thing I
like about two UH in comparison to Joe is that
TWA doesn't get hurt. He goes first. I think that
it's tough to argue it, right, So probably Joe's gonna
go first because two has got the injury. But two
has done it two or three years in a row consistently.

(17:36):
And I know Joe Burrows had a blowout year this year,
but how many quarterbacks in the NFL have been successful
with one successful year in college? Mark Sanchez NAT but
he didn't have a That's not a successful year. Did
those guys win national championships and do it all? True?
So that's different. See what I'm saying. Joey starting to jury.

(17:59):
Still loud on Dwayne Haskins to some degree on Traubisky.
Cam Newton had the one great year, So you know
there there are those that can fit a narrative either way. Right.
But but the only reason I say that is because
of who he beat during this run and then the
capital all off with the National championship. It's hard to
buy overlook that guy and he took ownership of a

(18:22):
great team right right when he showed up. I liked
those intang Max in Georgia, you're on the odd. Couple
of Fox Sports raided what's up? Max? What's up? Fellas?
What a game last night? We all got treated that.
I think this guy is the next guy. I think
he look at the elway, you look at Manning, you
look at being Luck for a little while. I think
he's that next guy. His intangibles will transfer. I'm a

(18:45):
little concerned about going to the Bengals, but I think
if anybody can do it, it'll be Joe Burrow. I
think last night he showed everybody who he is and
what he's about. He also reminded me a little bit
of old Joe Namas back in the day he called
his shot. He basically said that that picture of him
was looking like a Hysman Trophy winner and a national
champions and he went out and did it. Well. He's
got the cockiness what you like, but not but not

(19:08):
a negative way where you hate the guy, right, you
know what I mean? Like you don't feel that way
about him? Thanks Max, appreciate now. Guys Max mentioned, though,
were prodigies like you knew from day one, Andrew Luck
Peyton Man, those guys were gonna be special. That's different
with you, Marcus Sacrament on your on with christ and Rob?
What's going on? Gentlemen? Why are you? How are you

(19:30):
not a whole life? Hey? This was this was kind
of a one of those no win questions because I
agree with your caller before. If TWA hadn't got hurt,
he'd be number one. May I'm not. I mean, it
would have been good to see TWA and Burrow go
at it. Agreed, agree, But but the census was to
it probably was a little bit at that point. Yeah.

(19:51):
But but but but Mark, let me just but to
it did get hurt. I mean, you know we could
sit all day. That was where I was gonna get
you robbing. But he did get hurt. Now you have it.
Question me. I don't know anybody that wants the group
in the NFL making the number one pick, And it's
a question mark so to sea with the same pick
as far as I'm concerned. And he looked a little

(20:13):
bit like to me his footwork just just to me,
what I saw, did the windy move up and bake
twenty in the bucket? No, he's athletic, remember he has
that's the thing. He's not a stationary path. He is athletic.
Now here's the thing. Mark'sti let's say to it didn't

(20:33):
get hurt? Right, and Burrow had this same season they
beat Alabama, he was great. They would a national championship
and he has a complete season. Hill if Cincinnati didn't
pick him, even for TA think they get cut. There's
heavy pressure to be because look at the season he had.
It's not like he didn't have what do we see?
What do we see it here in Los Angeles with

(20:54):
the Lonzo ball and Lonzo didn't do this. No, And
the whole thing was if your magic, you got forced
into it, really because he's a local kid who played
at UCLA. If Magic didn't pick him, saying he's in
your backyard, you know what I mean, and you and
he pans out that magic gets killed like the guy.

(21:15):
You could have watched him play every night at u c.
L A and you couldn't identify talent. You almost had
to pick the kid. Yeah, no, very similar. Let's go
to Marty in Kentucky. Marty on with Christ and Rob.
What's happening, how's it going fellas happy Magic City. Oh yeah,
it's Tuesday's trash talking Tuesday, Mary been Man. I had

(21:36):
a four day weekend. It threw me off. Um, good
for you. I'm not gonna miss I'm not gonna miss that.
On chance on Joe Burrow, guy can tow the long
ball day actress. Those those NFL Calgary receivers were jumping
up knowing that ball was gonna drop flight was supposed to.
And he's got something that that Tom Brady has, that

(21:57):
Aaron Rodgers has, that Michael Jordan has he was in
high school. He's got a chip on his shoulder. And
I love it. I like a dog and a guy. Ye,
people get it mixed up. They sometimes you see dog
and a guy and you think it's Steven. There's a
difference between the deva and a dog, And I like
the dog and this guy. No guy. I agree, Marty,
I like it too. The call Joe Burrow turned LSU

(22:18):
from a good team into a great one. But is
he good enough to turn around the Bengals. Fox Sports
football analyst Robert Smith has the answer next, but first
be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Chris Brussard and Rob Parker weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeart Radio app. He's the Fox Sports football analysts. We

(22:40):
love having him on the show. Yes, Robert Smith, what's happening? Brother?
How are you? What's happening? Fellows? You guys, you guys,
you guys gonna sing uh a little bit of jeff
Jeffers what Hey? Did you see that? We might if
you keep asking, hey, but we need you to sing
it with us though. You gonna enjoy absolutely, Yeah, I was.

(23:04):
I was joint I was jointing in when you guys
were when I was watching it watch it online. Man,
I mean, well, I don't want to get too far
off off topic, but man, I mean the shows back then,
you know, like, uh, Jefferson, good time, what what's happened
in Sanford and Son? Great show man, great show. Next
time you're on, we'll go right into We're gonna do

(23:26):
it at the get go. We already got you, as
we had you as the greatest light skin running back
at all time, but then I think we had to
move Franco ahead of you. Frank o'hh did you so
you're arguably but you're up here. But hey, you're the greatest.
You're the greatest light skin running back who didn't step
out of bounds to avoid contact. Right. Oh, man, that

(23:48):
was well. I mean, you know, some people, some people
would call me out on that too, But man, Franco
was my guy. Franco was my guy growing up. Man,
my my brother, you know, rest his soul was us
a Cowboys fan. So I turned into I turned into
a Steelers fan up in Cleveland. You know, I grew
up in Cleveland, but my brother was a Cowboys fan

(24:09):
against him, so well, there was no reason to pull
for the Browns even then. I mean, they were better
than they are now. But all right, let's do it.
Let's get to it. Joe Burrow um the best, I
hear best. We think he had the best college career,
you know, season ever for a quarterback. Do you agree
with that? Wow? You know the numbers are there, but

(24:34):
but that's different, right and then you know, I you know,
I mean and and yeah it's a w Cam Cam
went undefeated two and Cam was just a different kind
of cat too. Now, I mean like maybe not the
you know, not the same number of total touchdowns, but
just the physical dominance, right, and like a one man show.

(24:54):
I'll give you that, and yeah, and what and what
he had to do to win? So I mean, I
guess it just depends on how you define best, um,
and that's you know, that's going to change depending on
who you are. I think what he had to do
may have been the harder, you know, in all fairness,
what dam had to do was probably harder than than
than what Joe Burrow had to do. But that doesn't

(25:16):
mean it's the best. I don't know. Let's call it
a tide, all right, a tide that makes sense? How
about Yeah, the idea of taking Burrow or Tuah, if
you're the Cincinnati Bengals, who would you take? Who? Man? Well,
I mean you have to take Joe at this point
because you don't even by then, you probably don't know

(25:38):
what the long term effect of the injuries to Toa
is gonna, be right, I agree with that. If you
if you don't take him, if you take too and
he winds up being an injury playing quarterback, people will
kill you. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean you just you just said,
I mean, that's the number one pick, you know, you
just you can't take chances like that with the number

(25:59):
one overall, pick guy's got to be guy's got to
be healthy. And when you've got a guy like Joe
Joe Burrow to just to put up the season that
he put up, I don't. I don't really think there's
any doubt, would you, Rob. I hear a lot of
people say, well, he just had one great season. Mark
Sanchez did that, and you know he didn't pay it out,
Like does that concern you that, yeah, he did it

(26:19):
one year, but we didn't get to seem two or
three years. No, it really doesn't. And I think you
know that you have to go back and watch the film.
You know, I would not know. I mean that to
you guys, but I just think to anybody to kind
of ask questions like this. And you look at what
Mark Sanchez did, and I'm not taking anything away from him,
but the players that he had around him versus the

(26:40):
players that they're going against, and the dominance you know,
of some of those athletes over the other athletes. You
watched the game last night, and it's not just that
Joe Burrow put up good numbers, but it's the placement
and understanding the different types of defensive looks he was getting.
His ability to escape the things that he did athletically

(27:01):
and mentally and from an execution standpoint, and you know,
it's it's a tough position, man, you know, like it's
it's there's there's no reason, it's it's so much more
valued than any other. And you look at what happened
on the other side of the ball with the guy
and Trevor Lawrence that had lost game in college like
seventy seventy two since he began his high school career,

(27:22):
and he had like thirteen fourteen overthrowers. Like, you can't
just do those things. You can't just do those things
when you feel like it, Like quarterback, it's it's how
bad you get at your worse now, how good you
are it's your best, and how consistently did you do it?
And who did you do it against? And I think
if you look at the competition that Joe Burrow did
it against in those games this year, like they in

(27:43):
the postseason, here's sixteen touchdowns, no interceptions, and the competition
the quarterbacks against him were like one touchdown and no interception, right,
or or like ten interceptions and one touchdowns. Something crazy.
Robert Smith, Fox Sports Football and List and former NFL
running back, joining the odd couple. Look, I know, after

(28:04):
one game, we're not going to you know, turn on
Trevor Lawrence. But are you as high on him as
everybody else seems to be. I mean they're saying he
would be the number one pick if he could come
out this year. Um, do you think he got a
little bit exposed yesterday? No, I don't think he got exposed.
I think, you know, again, it's a it's a difficult

(28:25):
it's a difficult position, and you know, you kind of
compare it to golf. I think sometimes you know, the
guys can get in their own head. And we hadn't
seen him missed like that, just hadn't seen it. And
to say that that one game sample is representative of
what we can expect from him moving forward, I would
really doubt it. I think it's it's kind of like

(28:46):
it's kind of like what happened with Lamar in the
NFL this year. Anybody that's going at Lamar or a
twenty three year old quarterback, and remember these guys are
twenty one, twenty two. You know you're talking about uh,
you know, Trevor Lawrence and Joe Brady. When when guys
are that young to expect them to always perform consistently,
especially when the competition in playoffs, it's just just a

(29:07):
little bit different. It looks are a little bit different.
But to but to say, oh, well, all the doubters
were right, you know what I mean, It just it
just doesn't make any sense. We do have breaking news.
We should just admit at least mention it. Alice Cora
has been fired by the Red Sox already, even before
Major League Baseball's intended investigation, not even completing that they've

(29:30):
already parted ways. Uh, Robert, let me ask you too
about Clemson, And a lot of people were like, why
are they getting dissed one twenty nine in a row
or whatever? But the competition that they played this year,
I think they'd only played really one, you know, top
ten team? Is that what it was? One? Uh? Did
were you surprised that they got throttled or not? Really? Well,

(29:54):
I don't know, you know, trottled. You look at you
look at what ends up with the with the final score,
and you know, again, you can't just look at the score.
You can't just look at the stats. You're gonna have
to look at the way that the game went and
for them to get up the way that they did,
I thought that was impressive. And you know, with the
emotions of these National championship games that you know, you
have these wild swings. LSU goes on that tear and

(30:17):
then that that one interference call on the Higgins. You know,
I think the game was what thirty five thirty five
twenty five at that point or maybe forty two to
twenty five at that point, and that touchdown gets called
back and then Trevor Lawrence has the fumble at the
end of the game. I don't think, you know, the score,
It wasn't necessarily to me, representative of a blowout. Now,

(30:41):
you give up a lot of yards, I know that
kind of stuff. But to me, I don't think it
was as bad as people that want to tear into
Clemson would say. There's no question their competition wasn't that
great in the ACC this year, and you know, A
and M wasn't what a lot of people thought they
were going to be this year. But I wouldn't say
that they got blown out in that game. I just

(31:02):
I just wouldn't say that. So it certainly wouldn't be
confirmation to me that they deserve to be disrespected. You
should have lost Ohio State. Should have lost Ohio State.
But that doesn't mean that. But that doesn't mean that
they're a bad team or that they deserved the criticism.
In my mind, right, we got about a minute left.
You mentioned Lamar Jackson, They're loss in the first playoff game.

(31:26):
Was that just you know, he's young, it's his second year,
not even two full years as a starter. He'll get
better or was it kind of an indictment on that
style of play as a quarterback that hey, it's tough
to win with a running quarterback. If you get down,
you're really in trouble. If you get down a few scores.
What's your view on that, well, I mean, to me, yeah,

(31:48):
it's it's more than he's young. I mean, at the
same conversation they're having the same conversation about Kirk Cousins
that he couldn't win a playoff game on a two
game sample, right fund in Washington and one and in Minnesota. Oh,
he can't win the big game. He can't win in
the playoffs, and then of course you know, wins the
Saints game. I mean, he's so young man, twenty three

(32:10):
years old, and the jump we saw from him from
last year to this year, right, I mean, it's it's
it's hard for me to imagine, you know, how much
more of a leap he'll hall next year. Now, you know,
the year two leap is probably, you know, probably the greatest.
But you know, with with the way that he worked
and for me, the way that his attitude is and

(32:31):
how he just he just wants to get better, he's
going to get boughtter as a passer. I mean, the
improvement that we've seen so far has been dramatic and
picking up those finer points and kind of correcting what
tiny mechanical errors that he may have had. And man,
I'm not worried about him at all. MVP might be
bent right back at it, right right, all right, that's
Robert Smith. Now next time, get your singing voice ready.

(32:54):
We're all gonna do it. We're coming right out of
the gate, the Jefferson Jeffersons all three. Al right, the worst,
the worst version ever. It can't be worse than what
we did, all right, buddy, Thanks a lot. Later, Alex
Core is out as the rad Sox manager, and that

(33:17):
might not even be the worst of it. We'll explain next.

It's the Eye Couple Chris and Rob on a DJ
Alex Tysher Tuesdays. This is an original jam from you.

(33:40):
I just took a song and just kind of messed
it up a little bit, all right, chopped it up,
chopped and screw that what they say? This is nice?
All right? Breaking news Alex Cora fired by the Boston
Red Sox as their manager. Of course, led them to
a World Series championship, and they this is before the
investigation by Major League Baseball has even been completed on

(34:03):
the Red Sox. Now they're firing him based on what
happened with him in Houston and the report that just
came out the other day that was enough for them
to say he was involved in Houston. And don't forget
you know, twenty eighteen was the best season in Red
Sox history. I mean you go, look, they won more
games than they had ever won in Boston. They won

(34:24):
the World Series, and go look at all the guys
who had great years, Jade Martinez, Mookie Betts, they all
flourished in Boston that year and that's this year and
that weird. It's just crazier. What do you think about
the Red Sox? He like what they said. I gotta
get this out there just for you know. This is that.

(34:45):
This is what they said. It was a mutual parting
of the ways. So there was a statement released by
the Red Sox very they spoke very favorably of Alex Cora,
and then he released a statement, obviously talking about how
great his time was with the Red Sox. Here's the
thing that disappointed me with Cora's statement. He didn't apologize.

(35:05):
Now this is just one statement. Maybe he will or
maybe he has two reports. I don't know if he's
talking to anybody else. But in the statement released, he
never apologized for the cheating, which I don't like. But yeah,
I mean, I like, what the It's fine what the
Red Sox did. I kind of think they had to. Uh,
we knew it was coming once the report was released,

(35:28):
because they already had, you know, pretty much got the
Red Sox for cheating. The question just how much how
widespread was it? And Cora is viewed as the guy
that brought it there from Houston. So no, I mean,
I think they did the right thing. I'm not gonna
praise him for it, but you know, I just think
that they just decided, like we already know what's coming,

(35:50):
why should we wait? There's nothing to wait for it.
This guy's gonna get banned from the game. He already
messed up the name of the Astros and not a
Red Sox, a proud organization is going to be mixed
up in it, right, that's exactly, dude. You're killing us,
like like the way that people look at you. Na,
we're now we're now the Patriots, you know what I mean?

(36:11):
We're now with with with Bill and the Boys. True
Alex Chord could take a job with the with the
Patriots tomorrow. All right, right, what do you? Okay? I
got this question for you. What do the Mets do?
Carlos Beltran, He's name prominently is one of the ring
leaders in Houston. Obviously he's the Mets new managers, the
metric fire Beltran, I do you don't want to be

(36:33):
associated with cheating. You want to be able seriously to
step out in front of it and say, man, you
know what in light of what's happened and what we
know went on, we can't do this. This is not
what the New York Mets are about. We won't be
a part of it. Thank you. We we did give
you a contract. Whatever we want to pay you or
make a set of them whatever, they shouldn't have to interest.

(36:55):
They would have to pay him. You know why they
would have to pay him because he wasn't He wasn't
he wasn't subject of a suspension of fine from the league,
So you have to have cause. You could just say
that you don't like that he's being implemented and uh
implicated in it, Chris, but he he didn't get suspended
from the league. So that's why I think you would
have to pay him. You also, when you hired him,

(37:18):
you didn't know about his history of cheating. No, I
get that, because he didn't get But I wonder if
you could argue that, you know what I mean, I'm
thinking of tribe. But I court the law, he probably
would win only from the standpoint that his case would be.
I was not uh suspended by the league, I was
not reprimanded by the league nothing, but he was involved.

(37:42):
I mean, that's what the report said one of the ringleaders,
one of the one of the main guys. So, yeah,
I agree with you. I think you gotta get rid
of him, and especially in light of what Houston and
the Red Sox have done. Right, how in the world
do you keep him when they've done it everywhere you go.
That's going to be the big story in New York. Yes, well,

(38:03):
you and I both worked as reporters. Every day. They'd
be asking him about that. I agree. I think they
should be coming down pretty soon, to be honest, like
I would think they'd be doing it pretty soon, just
because it'll be interesting to see if the Mets try
to justify it. You know, Carlos was a very popular
player for the Mets, and then people are excited that

(38:25):
he's the manager, you know, and all that, and they
kind of was selling the whole Beltran to the Mets
idea and now to have to pull back on that.
I mean, I'm serious. If I'm the Mets, I let
them go. I just I want to clean slate. I
don't want to be involved in that. I don't want
to soil my organization's reputation. And that's what Cleveland has

(38:48):
to I mean, Cleveland the Astros. Am now Boston have
to overcome because there's no way you're gonna get around it.
People are gonna look at them and go, they cheated,
they cheated. No, I feel you, I feel you, so yeah.
I think the Mets, whether they want to do the
right thing or not. I think now now, if this

(39:10):
had not happened, then I would feel like bell Tran
has a chance to stay. But the fact now, even
if they had fired Cora, after the report has done
and now now you're not sure, Okay, did they find
for the Astros or for the red Foxer both more likely,
but now that they've done it, just based on the report,

(39:31):
just based on what he did with the Astros, I
think the Mets have to follow suit or you look bad.
I agree with you, all right, two hours left. It's
the Eye Couple, Chris Bruce, sawd Rob Parker. We got

sixty eight on The Graham all right, the bottom of
the hour Fox Sports Broadcast or our colleague, Chris Myers

(40:40):
joins us. So that'll be a great good Chris. Yes,
lots to talk to him about. But first, right now, Rob,
it's football season. We're in the heart of it. But
baseball is still enough for the good reasons of course.
Well yeah, bad stuff, all bad stuff. Yeah. The last
two days, Chris Big Story and the Red Sox didn't

(41:01):
even wait for Major League Baseball because he Astro's waited.
Good for them, right for them. I'm not gonna praise
him for doing it, but good for them. They did
the right thing firing or as they're putting this parting
mutually parting way, they fired Alice. That they're being nice
when you say that, Oh yeah, no, Alice Core had

(41:22):
a contract making bank. He didn't just give up the
job for no reason. He got fired. Great team, you're
out a world series, coming off a disappointing season. You
know you want to get back and whin he got fired, right.
And I'm gonna say one thing to Alex. Hopefully he's listening.
I don't know if he is or not, but Alex, apologize, apologize.

(41:43):
That is weird that that's not in the statement now
more now I would say this, Chris, I've talked to
Alice Cora. You know what I mean, Like, I got
a little report. I'm not saying that I know him,
so I'm not, but you know what I mean, Like
I've had conversations with him, been around him a little bit,
and he's a small life for everybody loves that guy.
This is bad. There's no way of looking around us

(42:05):
like like now you're branded. And the worst part for Alex,
unlike a j Hinge, is you you took that and
brought it to Boston, like that's the do you do
you know what I mean kind of scene is the
ring You could have been like, yeah, we did that
in Houston. I finally got my job as a manager.
I'm not doing that here. Could have been, right, but

(42:27):
some people, I mean, I think he played a prominent
role in Houston, all right, right, but I'm just saying, hey, man,
he apparently went in there. Hey it worked in That's
what I'm saying. And we didn't get caught. You know, Wenna,
we won a World Series, and now we come in Boston,
and now, if you're a Red Sox fan, you're like

(42:47):
twenty eighteen. It was fraudulent and it was the best season.
It was the best season in the history of the
Red Sox. Everybody mashing the ball. They won the World too.
Do you know who they beat that year, Chris, the
Red Sox. Remember they beat the Yankees in the playoffs? Uh?
And they beat Uh? Who else did they steam? I'm

(43:10):
thinking I'm the Dodgers. They beat like the two best
teams EASi League, Chris, EASi League. No, it's bad, as
you said. And you know who else is chiming in?
Pete Rose, No, Pete, Pete Rod. I'm a big look.
I told you Cincinnati. I remember moved to Cincinnati. All right,

(43:36):
quick story. My grandfather had to get out of the South.
He said, he went one could do it. He said,
he went to the one city above the Mason Dixon
line and it was Cincinnati, Ohio. He just had how
my family. Well, he was in World War two and
he heard he met black soldiers from the North in
the war and they said, brother, you got to get
out of the South. What are you doing down up

(43:58):
up into the North. And that's what he did. So anyway,
I grew up in Cincinnatis as a kid, and we
used to go to the big red machine games, you know,
sometimes double headers, sitting through a double edder. Now we
should go to the ballpark seriously, But remember every game
wasn't on TV. Every game didn't take four hours. Back then,

(44:20):
the games were a lot quicker because they weren't on TV.
So you might go to a double header and it
would be six hours for two games. But a baseball
game in person is great. Oh yeah, it was great.
And Pete Rose was phenomenal and Tony Perez, uh they
were j Griffy Foster, all those guys. But anyway, we know,

(44:44):
of course what has happened to Pete Rose. And Pete
weighed in. He spoke to Jay dot Com. That's the
paper in New Jersey led Jersey. Yeah, that's the New
York Star Ledger, and he said a lot. He basically
he thinks that what these guys did in the cheating
is worse than what he did. Here's what Pete said.

(45:07):
I bet on my own team to win. That's what
I did. In a nutshell. I was wrong, but I
didn't taint the game. I didn't try to steal any games.
I never voted against my team. I bet on my
team every night because that's the confidence that I had
in my players. And I was wrong. But this the
astro situation is a little different. It's a lot different, actually,

(45:31):
And I think that's why the commissioner came down so hard.
So what do you think, Rob, No way, no, how
on my by Pete Rose? No, and Chris first of all,
as a gambler, right, don't tell me if some say
young award winner was coming in and you got your
best hitter, wasn't playing a night and you think to yourself,

(45:52):
you know what I mean? Or with scuffling and like
the best pitcher in the league's gonna pitch against us tonight.
So that you don't buy that he only bet That's
it gets out there. It's what's out there is that
he only bet on don't I still I'm just saying,
but I still don't believe that. If you're if you're
a real gambler. But if that's something like in baseball circles,

(46:12):
do people think he did bet on this team? Yes,
I don't mean that against this team. Yes, I don't
believe that, Like as as a gambler, I'm not. Yeah,
I don't believe that. But here's the other part. Here's
what I've always said that people when they make that
argument for Pete Rose, here's how he can affect the
game even if he bets on his own team. There's

(46:33):
a double header coming up tomorrow or you know what
I mean, or makeup game right or whatever. I got
a big bet on tonight's game, Chris, I blow out
my bullpen because I'm trying to win tonight. I got
money on the game tonight. What about tomorrow, I've already
I've used my pictures. Who who I need for tomorrow

(46:55):
because I'm trying to win. Have I affected the game
to borrow. Yes, so there's one. By the integrity. When
you have money on the game, you can affect that
even if you're betting on your own team. And when you, Chris,
you covered baseball. What year did you cover to the
Indians when they went to the World Series twenty five?
So you cover baseball. When you walk into a Major
League Baseball clubhouse, there's nothing bigger than the sign on

(47:21):
the on the wall about what gambling? Am I right?
It says if you gamble, you'll be banned for life.
It's right, there's biggest day. That is the biggest sign
in that clubhouse. Because once you mess with the integrity
of the game, Chris, you don't have a game. No.
I hear you rob and you're making great points. Um,

(47:43):
I think that let's assume just because that's all that's proven,
let's assume that he only bet on his team to win.
Then I think what's bad about this is the association
with gambling with gamblers. I mean, if you're you're losing,
now you got guys who you owe money too, who

(48:04):
now can come to you and now they can threaten you. Look,
you owe us this much money. We need you to lose,
we need you know what I mean? So you're that's
where I think baseball is like, Look, even if you
only bet on your own team, you put yourself in
harm's way to say the least all you gotta do
and you put the game in harma, we need you

(48:25):
to go oh for for tonight. You like like you're
a big guy. Right, well yeah, if you're I mean
we're talking about a manager, of course, but if I'm
play even when he was playing, I mean, or or
in a situation. So so I do get that. I think.
I just think anything in pro sports that's affiliated with gambling,
point shaving, all of that stuff that is going to

(48:46):
be worse. That said, I get where Pete Rose is
coming from in that. Look, I did not, according to him,
I bet on my team to win. That's all that's proven.
You know, have all the betting slips. I'm looking for
a story because he can say, like, these guys actually

(49:06):
cheated during the game. All right. Here's my pushback to
Pete Rosen to that is that if it was if
it was by knowing what pitch was coming, that it
was like this, imagine McColl lickser, how did they lose
any games. Well, it's still hard even if I know
you're throwing the fast But even if I know it

(49:28):
doesn't mean automatically I'm gonna be able to hit it
and still win the game. Here's the difference. I'm not saying.
I'm not trying to excuse the Chris. All I'm saying
is that's why you're hard pressed to take away a championship.
And no, I disagree with that. Yeah I don't, because
here's the thing. We're talking about world class athletes. I
bring this up all the time, the difference between first

(49:50):
place a championship and not even making the playoffs. It's
my new in terms of talents, the difference between winning
the one hundred meter dash and the gold medal and
finish it out of the medals is like two three
tenths of a second. And so if I have just
a slight advantage, that can be the difference between me

(50:13):
winning and me losing. I mean, we're talking about the
absolute best athletes in the world. So yeah, okay, I
might instead of you know, going one for four, maybe
I go two for five, you know, or two for four.
That extra hit made all the difference. And obviously I'm
not gonna hit it every time. Even if I know
it's a curve ball fast, It's still not easy. But

(50:38):
I do think I've said it. I think they should
have vacated the time because that takes away all of
the incentive for an organization, does not because why am
I cheating if I might lose it. I want to
win the world. I understand what might lose the world.
The players still will have incentive unders because they want
the numbers, the big contract and all that I get

(50:59):
for an organist. They shouldn't know. Yeah, I just I've
never been big into that. When they try to tell me,
or they take away telling of Fab five to take
down their banners and Reggie Bush give me back this
and all that, I've just never been into. Like what
I saw and what we witnessed you, it's already tainted
in people's minds, right, whether you take it back or not.

(51:20):
You now look at the ASTROL, you look at that
organization the same way. Remember now you're doing about thirty
years from now, What about the people you'll remember after us?
That'll be all of me as big of a deal.
All that stuff will be in the Baseball Hall of
Fame forever, like history, like people Pete Roses in the
Baseball Hall of Fame, all of his stats are, all
of his trophies did there? But also what the negative

(51:41):
thing that happened in the gambling. So I just think
this is like, this is typical. You know what else
he said, he said this, which I don't even agree
with him on this, but he said that the only
signs he would take, because you know, both you and
I agree, if it's or again, Nick, if we're on
the if it's on the field and I'm on second base, right,

(52:06):
he doesn't see his signals. He doesn't cover his fingers, right,
I know, a curve, balls come or whatever, And I
tell my battery, no, that's part of the game. If
I could relay to you, if I could see the
catcher didn't cover up his fingers, he was for whatever reason,
he was lazy. And I saw the two down, I said, like,
and I'm telling my God at the plate and I

(52:27):
could somehow touch my helmet, that's a two covers. That's
really no different than what all the NFL quarterbacks do
in college. For that matter, nowadays they're pointing out blitz
coming right right. It's no different really, Okay, So but
Pete Rose said he would not even take the signs
from a player, a teammate who was out. He said,

(52:49):
he take him for the third base coach if he
was trying to steal or whatever squeeze. But he said
he would never take him from the well. He said
he didn't want to because if you're wrong, okay, I mean,
you're not gonna be And that's one thing I'd like
to see. I don't know if they mentioned it in
the report and I missed it, but what was the
accuracy rate on the calls that they were made the time?

(53:15):
When they write fifty percent of the time, you know
what I mean, it's hard for me to believe you
were right all of the time. But there were there were.
Was it Rich Hill with the Dodgers who changed his
changed the every inning? Yes, every inning he would because
why because he's cheaters in baseball. Because he felt like
something was going on, so he changed them every inning,

(53:36):
which says a lot that they thought something was happening.
All right, Roles just like he's an opportunist, you know,
like it wasn't as bad as what I did. This
because he still wants to get in the Hall of Fame.
And he's not getting Charlie Hustle all right, eight seven
seven ninety nine on fix eight seven seven nine nine
six sixty three sixty nine. Which crime is worse betting

(53:57):
on baseball like Pete Rose or still signs like the
Astros and the Red Sox. You're turning the way in.

know what if that's the issue, I'm good. Well you're
ripping USC Chris. I ain't ripping up one of my

(54:41):
former students. I'm just saying I know. We are brought
to you by auto Zone. Auto Zone has the free
services you need to help get you back on the road.
Like their au those on fixed finders services free. They
go over fifty six hundred locations nationwide. All those Zonner
is here to help you save time and money with
their free services. Getting the I'm done, Jess got easier

(55:01):
restricts his supply getting the zone autos zone. All right,
this is interesting. Pete Rose just being an opportunist. Yes,
because he did it with the steroid. He was like,
that's worse than what I did. Guys. It took steroid
and now I was like, the steeler side is worse
than what I did. And you're letting those guys like,
all right, let's see what they say. Maybe they think
he's got a point. Let's start with Sam in Seattle.

(55:25):
Samuel with Christ and Rob. Welcome to the Eye couple, Yo, guys.
I'd just like to say that Pete Rose is a
habitual liar. He's been lying his whole life, him and
a rod. And had he done it back when they
told him, hey, did you do this? He probably not.
Probably Sam, I'm telling you right now. Had he had

(55:47):
he apologized, come clean from the beginning. Yes, I gambled,
and I'm going to gamblers anonymous. I have a problem
and I didn't mean to hurt baseball. He would be
in the Hall of Fame. Totally agree. I just like
maybe people don't remember a lot of people love Pete
Rose at that time, and he just ruined it for himself.

(56:07):
The second thing I gotta say is that um for
the Astros, it was well worth it. Give me that rain.
Well you're giving them this? Yeah, yeah, but it's tainted though, Sam,
It's tainted. Hey, but are they taking that World Series?
Do you think they should? You agree with me that
they should take it away. Oh okay, they should go

(56:28):
extremely crazy. They should ban the owner for three years
and take his toy away. They should ban those guys
for five years. They should go Alex. They should go
to the Red Sox, take that banner away and tell
John Henry you gotta sit out for three years, and
they should. They should take seven rounds of twenty twenty
and twenty twenty one. Wow, you would, you would basically

(56:56):
you would ruin the game. Eric and long Beach, you're
on the couple, Fox Sports Radio. Eric love to show.
Thanks for taking my call. I got two quick points.
First of all, Pete rolls whatever the dudes a liar.
I know That's what everybody knows. Pete. He always shows
up when something bad happens. To try to make a
case for himself. That's that's why nobody takes it. Takes

(57:19):
it if. But but if Baseball really wants to do
something about this, if they're not gonna take the World
Serious championship away from Houston, they should take those picks,
give them to the Dodgers. And they should also let
the Dodgers go in that farm system and pick whoever
they want. That's not a bad idea, That's not a
bad idea. Yeah, that's what I think. And the Dodgers

(57:41):
would get Red Sox picks and as those picks right,
because there taken away. Well, you know what's interesting again,
this again goes to whether or not they should have
vacated the titles. Thanks are a great story. ESPN the
Day by or ESPN dot Com by Jeff Passing. He
was a very good baseball right. He talked about how

(58:01):
the sentiment around the league is that the Astros got off,
like particularly the owner Jim Crane, and he said that
one executive at the end of the story, you know,
Anonymous of course, said he thinks twenty five, maybe all
thirty of the general managers in baseball would cheat and

(58:22):
take their just desserts. What the Houston Natural just got
for that championship. I don't know about that. I think
you gotta see he said, would you would? I don't
want to do this. I don't want it like that
because he may I think he may have talked about owners.
Maybe there because the owner did nothing happened to them. No,
I get the m obviously lost. You know, as a GM,

(58:45):
that's a bad look for you. I mean everybody could
act like as an owner. Well, I mean he's still
got hing. And the owner was quoted as saying it
didn't taint anything. I don't know about that. He's trying
to say that. He's saying it was just Andrew I
wasn't good. How are you? How are you doing well?
I guess, y'all kind of a y'all kind of got

(59:06):
to my question. My question really was, I guess and
I got kind of a second point, okay, that if
you knew you were going to get that penalty, would
you take it for the chance to win? I want
to I don't want to win. I don't want to
win like that. Like the Bill Belichick and the Patriots
and all that. The reason the Patriots don't get the
love that they should considering all the winning that they've done,

(59:28):
is that people have question marks about how much of
it was legit and how much gnaticans. Do you agree
or disagree with that? Andrew? I I agree with you.
I agree with you. Where my problem with that comes
in in the Twitter world that we live in. Nobody
knows what happened last week. So ten years from now,
the news cycle is so sure you can't tell but
you can't. But you can't tell that story, the Patriots

(59:51):
story without including that stuff in there. And that's that's
that will always do most people's for just one World Series.
I think he gets swept over years from now. Don't
you want yours to be in Well? I wouldn't do
it because I've you know, I feel like I got
more integrity than that. But I'm thinking of the players,

(01:00:11):
a lot of players. What's to stop that, None of
them got anything, what's to stop them from doing it again?
They still get their World Series, they still get their
great stats, if whatever contracts may have come out of
that winning the championship, they still get. You know, let's
go to Tony and Los Angeles, Tony and Chris and Robb,
you know, a J. Hinch and Alex Cora got Georg

(01:00:32):
Girardi fired because the Yankees were up like it was
three games to none or three games to one, and
then they got swept out and George Girardi was saying,
I think they're still in our signs, and then he
got fired because he was one game away from the
World Series. And then another thing, there's a theft element
in here. When you win the World Series, you get
a three hundred thousand dollars bonus from the league and

(01:00:53):
the loser gets two hundred grand. So that other one
hundred grand that they got over the Dodgers, that's stolen money.
That's larceny right there. They have to give that back
or they have to give it to the Dodgers, Tony one.
How about how about keep Tony? How about how about
Clain Kershaw's legacy? What if what if you look at CLAYT.

(01:01:13):
Kershaw and say they knew what was coming and then
I got tattooed. I'm serious, like like his legacy might
have been damaged because of this, No question, Tony, what
do you think you can? Guys know who Rick Monday is, right,
he's the he's the radio guy on the Dodgers Walt
was going on in Houston. He said, I think they're
still in our signs. Wally was happening on the range

(01:01:35):
the air. I ask you this, Tony, you appear you
appear to be a Dodgers fight. So if and and
I think they should have just vacated the titles from
the Well the Red Sox. If you know that comes
the Path and the Astros. What if they gave I
don't think they should have given them to the Dodgers.
But Tony, as a Dodger fan, would you feel good

(01:01:56):
or be satisfied if they gave those titles to the
That's a good question. I don't want to hear your answer. No,
they should. They should just take it away and say
that there was no winner, because the Dodgers fans wouldn't
feel good about if they said, Okay, Dodgers, you won
those two world series. Nobody's gonna play either. I'm a
fan right as a player, I wouldn't want me. Jac

(01:02:21):
and Richmond Virginia with Chris and Robb. Hey, guys, appreciate
you guys taking my call. Um. I wanted to just
ask Rob but you're as a Hall of Fame voter, Yes,
Um does this kind of take away, I guess your
ability to kind of look at someone like Verlander and
other people who are involved in something like this moving
forward as a Hall of Fame voter. You know what, guys, Thanks,

(01:02:42):
Thanks Jay C. And that's a great question too. And
I'm the one thing I am is they have to
be some somewhat punished by the league in order for me,
I don't think that's my job. Like even with the
steroid guys like the Barry Bonds, for whatever Chris is
out there, we never suspended. We never suspended, never tested Posito.

(01:03:03):
What about the guys that did get caught, I don't
do Those are the guys I don't vote for. Okay,
so now you see what I'm saying, these guys, these
guys would you vote for? I don't know. I mean,
I'd have to look at the whole thing. But because
I don't know did everybody participate, we don't have all
that I don't have all that knowledge for me to
say that everybody. There might be a guy, Chris of

(01:03:25):
great integrity and faith who said I'm not taking part
of it. That's why Mike Friars is that his name,
who came out and put his name to it. Right,
he said, this is what we were doing. That tells
me about him. And it's because, Chris, you become prosada
non grata when you do that, right, No, no doubt,
no doubt. None of his players do that. Very few

(01:03:47):
guys put their name and say this is what we did.
That's how this thing got bust wide open. All right,
this conversation will continue with legendary Fox Sports broadcaster Chris Myers.
He joins his next but first. Fox Sports Radio has
the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all

(01:04:11):
All right, it is the Eye Couple coming you live
from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. It's easy to
say fifteen percent more on your car insurers with Geico.
Go to Geico dot com or call eight hundred nine
four seven Auto. The only hard part is figuring out
which way is easier. He's a legendary broadcaster right here
at Fox Sports. Is great to have him in, Chris Myers. Chris,

(01:04:32):
welcome to the Eye Couple. Well, thank you, it's good
to be on with you guys again. Well, things are going, well, yes, everybody, Yes,
so much news right now. Now. You work the sidelines
of course for the Packers Seahawks game. But we want
to get to baseball before we go with you, because
obviously you cover that as well. Um, do you think
that Major League Baseball got it right with the punishments

(01:04:54):
of the Houston Astros because there was a story in
ESPN dot com today. Jeff Passing does a great job
covering the league. He said there's a strong sentiment throughout
the league that the owner got off too easy and
got justice wasn't totally served. Yeah, and that's what I look.
I think part of it is major League Baseball, and
I'm glad that they took after they didn't overreact. They researched,

(01:05:17):
and the information that they found out, we believe that
it is accurate how far and deep it runs. And
I covered postseason baseball for Fox quite a bit, and
I'm really shocked. I mean, I know the old stealing
signs bit has gone on for a while, but to
use to purposely use an altar electronic equipment to buy
and have a signal so way out of line. I'm

(01:05:38):
with you. The punishment swift severe, You can't. I guess
at this point. This isn't college athletics. You can't take
a win away or a World series away. But it's
so unfair to the teams and the careers of players
who were affected by this. I'm amazed that it was
able to go on as long as it has gone on,
if that part is accurate. So yes, I think not
only I give the owner of the Astros credit for swiftly.

(01:06:00):
I don't know that he would be aware of it
at that level, but but certainly a general manager, a players,
coaches down the line, and then the Cora news and
obviously you knew that was going to happen when you
found out. Again, if that report is accurate, that he
was one of the masterminds because that helped his team
and it helped him get a managerial job when they
say mutually agreed to part ways. I know some people

(01:06:21):
talk about a lifetime ban and the fact that we're
keeping Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame because
he been on baseball that the that's a legitimate argument.
At this point. You saw pe Rose came out. He did.
It wasn't as bad as him, I know absolutely what
he did. Look what he did was against the rules

(01:06:42):
and it was clear, but to all to actually cheat
within the game on the field, I mean, this is
unbelievable that this the look. The Patriots certainly have been
accused of such, but we don't have some of the
evidence thinking we've seen in this case. But yes, how
far does it go up the ladder? Now? If the
ship knew about it? And that that would have to
be proved to me, because I know owners are active

(01:07:04):
and they're involved, but I don't You don't know if
you really know that there's a camera attached and you
know and all that. Chris, here's the other thing I
did want to say, Uh when when I say that
if I'm the Mets, I'm might I would fire Carlos Beltram.
I'm serious, even though he hasn't managed yet. He was
a fan favorite in New York, but he was involved

(01:07:27):
in this. Hey in the report that he was a
big part of what has gone down. Do you want
your organization to be caught up in that? Absolutely? No?
And I think anybody and again that you reach it,
anybody that was involved. That's one thing for somebody to
be aware of it and not reported. You know how
locker rooms an't you don't right out people. And obviously
if they're not breaking the law or somebody's not in danger,

(01:07:48):
but yes, if somebody was was involved in it, like
Cora or the even just the banging the garbage came
with the bat, I mean the signaling, I mean any
of that, then yes, you should be out of baseball
and it shouldn't be up to a team. Major League
Baseball should tell the team, look, these guys either suspended
with the degree they have to have some format or

(01:08:09):
you're you're out of the game for a while until
you prove you're not going to do this type of thing.
And even then, I don't know what the public centiment is.
I gotta tell you already, just people have run into
and I have had a chance with a lot of
baseball people, but they're so down on the Astros and Korrez. Yes,
just it like lights them totally off the board. Nobody
even giving them credit for any kind of wins. And
it's unfair to some of the guys who may have,

(01:08:29):
you know, weren't associated with this. But that's the way
it goes when when you are associated or at least
linked to guys who break the rules, knowingly, Fox Spars
broadcaster Chris Myers joining the eye couple, as I said,
you're on the sidelines for the Packers Seahawks game. You'll
be there this sun this weekend for the Packers forty
nine ers. A lot of people aren't giving the Packers

(01:08:50):
much of a chance in this game, Chris, how do
you see it now? I give him a great chance.
And look, I know that earlier meeting was lopsided between
the two teams, and ever Rodgers, the Packers got blown out.
A lot of that was guys having a good time
out on the West Coach when they got out of
Green Bay. So but Rogers still carries, you know, that
ship on his shoulder, not being drafted by the forty

(01:09:11):
nine ers, even though he's a northern California guy, went
to cal and he brings you saw him in the clutch.
People are a little down on his numbers this year.
But Matt Lafloor is from the Sean McVay Kyle Shanahan
school of great running game and it makes Aaron Rodgers
that much greater to be able to relax and run
the controls the way he wants. They've worked well together.

(01:09:32):
I don't know, I think I saw seven is another
that's a high number for me. This is a three
point game if it goes either way. I mind leaning
forty nine Ers because I think they have the better defense,
but the Green Bay defense since that loss to San Francisco,
the team hadn't lost. I mean, you look at what
they've done to teams defensively and the pressure on the
quarterback with Smith and Smith on each side, and they've

(01:09:55):
been very, very impressive. I look Seattle, they played a
lot of close games. They battled Russell Wilson on that sideline.
I gotta tell you he never lost his edge. But
there were some other guys, in fairness to them, they
were down to you know, you already know the running
back situation, but second and third string lineman on offense
defense that just worn't up to the task. It was cold,
it was in the Packer crowd was into it. Rodgers.

(01:10:16):
I do think at the end of that game, right,
if I could just that, I would not have punted
even on fourth at eleven if he Carroll defended that
because on third and five and I wouldn't have given
the ball back even with timeouts in three minutes to
Rogers on the road. I got Russell Wilson. I'm gonna
roll with him even if I missed, and we hold
him to a field ball, you know what I should do.
Point Yeah, I was surprised by that. And but but

(01:10:37):
here's the other thing too, and talking about obviously, the
Packers were nine for thirteen on third down, but Aaron
Rodgers had some beautiful balls on the third down plays
that third and nine. He did it, didn't he? Chris Yes,
he And he was so accurate in some very tough throws.
So it's not like Seattle was leaving some of those

(01:10:57):
guys wide open. But I do think Seattle should have
gone in with a better plan with Davante Adams. He's
the one guy who can burn you and beat you.
Make Jimmy Graham some of these other guys more Sadis
Lewis or Lazard, make those guys beat jim They did
a good job on Jones and the running game, but
they should have even at half time, Pete Carrolson, we're
going to make some adjustment. Well, they didn't make enough

(01:11:17):
of an adjustment on on Davant the Adams, who was outstanding,
and obviously that was the most reliable guy that Rogers
got to got to go too, So it was a
good Bassietta. Look, they overachieved this year, just like the
Packers have. But in your original question, yes, I think
they've been and AA Rogers told us that at our
production beats, look, we like being under the raidar and
I think they put the quote up in the Fox
broadcast we're not. It's not the world of a lot

(01:11:38):
of credit. But people for thirteen and three they keep
act like, you know, it's all about the Niners or
the Seahawks or Saints. And so he likes that role.
And I think the Packer team does too. But how
their secondary holds up This interesting with Garoppolo too, because
I know he's got playoff experience, watching watching Brady, but
he's going to have to step up like he has.
It's a tough situations in this game for the forty

(01:11:59):
nine to live with. Their defensive line is the key,
and I think they're they're the better defense and they're
at home. The good news for you, Chris is that
you won't be outside in Green Bay again this weekend.
It'll be San Francisco. I know it's probably chilly up there,
but not like Green Bay. No not like when they
say twenty degrees, that's Green Bay twenty in the ground
with the field because he I was freezing and I

(01:12:21):
don't like wearing a hat because it messes up my hair,
you know, if you're done, But I had to, but
they said keep your head warber. I had hand warmers,
I had lad more layers and a wedding cake. I
was freezing. I was fighting. I was fighting some of
the secial teams guys for their heater on the bench
to get a little bit of that. But I actually
caught a cold on the on the way back. Troy Eegman.
But that's the that's the reality. So when you play,

(01:12:42):
that's home field advantage for the for the Packers. But
we should have a great matchup in this one. And
obviously whoever goes onto the super Bowl there they're getting
the best from the NFC. But yeah, I'm excited about
this game. I think there'll be a lot of cool elements.
And of course, you know Matt la Floor has his
younger brother on the forty nine er team. He's the
passing coordinator, so and they had even talked a little before,
but even said, I don't want to I want to

(01:13:03):
give him too much one. You know, he didn't want
to give me too much with a Seattle because we
might play each other, and now they are, so that
should make for another strategic approach from the two side. Yes,
it'll be addressed in Chris, Thank you man, Thanks a lot, brother,
appreciate you all right, anytime you guys are great. I'll
see you later. Thank you, see you. There are some
dark clouds moving in over Happy Valley. We'll explain next.

(01:13:26):
A couple of Fox Sports Radio Aaron Rodgers had some
beautiful balls. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Odd Couple with Chris Brussar then Rob Parker weekdays at
seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the iHeart Radio app. It's the I Couple Chris
and Rob on a trash Talking Tuesday. In about forty

(01:13:48):
minutes forty five fifty minutes, you will get a chance
to call in and trash anyone or anything in the
world of sports, So get your takes ready. Um. It's
also a DJ Alex Tischer Tuesday, so he's mixing up
on the one. I know, I feel like I'm a
gonna disco back in the seventies doing this thing, all right,
So anyway, serious allegations Penn State. Of course, we all

(01:14:08):
know what went down with Jerry Sandusky, the last long
time assistant coach to the legendary Joe Paterno, and really tainted,
to say the least, Joe paternal his career and put
a huge stain on his legacy. But anyway, there are

(01:14:28):
more allegations, similar allegations, not pedophilia, thankfully, but Isaiah Humphreys,
former player for Penn State, has filed a lawsuit today
or yesterday against Penn State and its coach, James Franklin
and several what four teammates. It looks like all defensive players, uh,

(01:14:50):
for hazing. And this is when you when I first
read this, I'm thinking hazing. Okay, they beat some players up,
which I'm not justifying, no, no, but there's a This
is like crosses. This is ridiculous. It's disgusting what was done.
But he allegedly done. He basically says that the upper

(01:15:11):
classmen would with the lower class under underclass players. The
freshmen would hold them down, put their genitals on their faces,
genitals up against their backside, stroke themsel I mean everything,
but I mean yeah, it's incredible, and that his father,

(01:15:34):
Isaiah Humphrey's father played at Penn State. So they say
they say that they told the coaching staff what was
going on and nothing happened. This is this is unbelievable,
and this is good because we have my personal intern,
Mo Ways, who played major college football as a receiver

(01:15:54):
at Michigan and at Cal. When you read the story,
just play ate this past season exactly for Cal. When
you read this story and you know what goes on.
Obviously you've been in big time locker rooms and hazing
goes on. But how shocked were you about you know,
these stories and the stuff you read? Yeah, well, first off,
the guys, thanks for having me on. But I was

(01:16:15):
disgusted because hazing happens in locker rooms, but not to
the point where Genitalia was involved in touching and everything.
But penetration. I know, for me, you know, we had
you know, sitting the back of the bus and double up,
or you eat last and things like that, but never
to the point where my body is being physically violized
or you know, I'm having a mental trauma going to

(01:16:36):
sleep at night. And that's what happened when Hunt Freezing
was having trouble sleeping and as for health and according
to the story and Sports Illustrated, they he says he
alleges that Penn State wanted to take away a scholarship
because they were gonna deem him medically unable to play.
Yea from the from the reports that they wanted to
make him medically red shirt, medically retire and by that

(01:17:00):
save a scholarship, get to somebody else and wipe their
hands with it. Here's the other part. If Franklin, if
they if they can prove that Franklin was knew about
this stuff, how do you survive this? He doesn't. You're
fired your band from NC Double A Football because as
a college football coach, part of it and I know
this might sound pollyannish and all that, but there is

(01:17:21):
a degree at least of trying to instill character. You're
you're taking responsibility of people's children when they come to
you right and to play. If I gotta take care
of my girls are in college, if something like this
were to happen and I've trusted this coach with my children,
my child, man, i would be discus. Yes, fired band

(01:17:45):
from NC Double A. And it shows a lot about
the leadership on the team. I mean the senior captives
and juniors. They should have never let this happen, right,
That's the other things. This should have been a locker
room issue. Handling the locker room. Say we went too far, guys,
let's handling it right now and get back to business. Right.
It just seems like I get the hazing part and
making people carry bags and buy donuts or whatever. I

(01:18:07):
never know. All that where something crazy, but no I
put on put on a Mickey Mouse outfit or mini mouth.
I get all that, but all this other stuff is
mind boggling. And to think that it's happened, and and
you know it's of course it's all allegations, but that
it happened at Penn State. We've seen of all places
with what went on there, and people turn their heads

(01:18:30):
and whatnot. That's why I remember I was on first
take the day that that story broke, and Skip Bayless
and I were doing the show, and I remember saying,
we both Joe Paternal's done, like like he he won't
cut Everybody's like, let him finish out the year. Cut
what coach another game? No way, no way. Once you

(01:18:51):
find out that he knew that that went on. There
no no question about it. It's just terrible and again alleged, right,
these are all Ali Saiah Humphrey says that coaches sometimes
witness stuff that was going on. I doubt it was.
I doubt it was the head coach, but you know
lower coaches, and you know, if what he's saying is
true that they told the coaching staff, then obviously he

(01:19:14):
has to go. All right, I Couple one hour left,

quarterback ever because everybody talks about Barry Sanders year with
twenty six hundred yards, but they didn't win the national championship,
So you gotta put it up there. He finished the job, right,
and he tore through some of the best teams in

(01:20:42):
the country to get it to make it happen, no doubt. Now,
we had Robert Smith on earlier and he talked about
Cam Newton and of course his great year in twenty
ten right for Clemson and he led them to the
national title. It was a fantastic season, I mean Newton
and I will what I will say is this Cam

(01:21:04):
was more of a one man show, right. I mean
he threw for almost three thousand yards, ran for almost
fifteen hundred, and didn't have quite as much talent, I
would say as Burrow has around him. He got Burrows
got NFL talent. But Burrow, I mean broke all just
about all the records. Here. Here's a list of what

(01:21:26):
he did. First of all, he set the single season
record in the NC Double A for touchdown passes in
a year, sixty sixty Wow, sixty touchdown passes. They go
fifteen and oh so obviously four games. Uh, And he
said he was responsible, meaning he rushed for five more

(01:21:48):
so responsible for sixty five touchdowns. That's also a record.
He also set the record for completion percentage. And when
you think about him setting the record, Rob for completion percentage,
we have to recognize how often he threw the ball.
You know, a lot of times the guy's completion percentage
might be higher if you don't throw it quite as much.

(01:22:08):
But this dude was throwing all of the time and
set the record for a completion percentage. Then he threw
for almost fifty seven hundred yards, most ever in the
SEC and tie for the third most with keys Keenom
Case Keenom in NC Double A history. And here's the most.
And I know you'll like this, Rob, because you're you're

(01:22:29):
a stickler for who you beat. I always talk about
that because I do think it matters when I see
teams get fat. Remember when the Cowboys won those first
three games of the year, and I won't buying into
the Cowboys despite the numbers, and they were beating uping
also runs, yeah, yeah, and so. And this is why
I agree with ed Orgeron when he says this is
a historic team. This is an all time great team

(01:22:52):
because they beat seven, count them, seven top ten teams.
That's incredible. They beat three top five teams. I mean,
I'm sorry, four top five teams. They beat four top
five teams. And Burrow was incredible in all of those games.
So hats off to this kid. He did a terrific job.

(01:23:16):
And here's what I like about him. You know, look,
you and I we're gonna be honest. We always are
up here. We don't know if he's gonna be a
great Nobody no nobody, they don't. Even the scout in
the NFL had been bust all the way through people
who would can't miss and other guys gave him ten
hours a day and don't know, right and and and

(01:23:36):
and uh um Tom bradd si round pick a third
round pick. We could go on and on. Whether you
however you feel about Dak. He's better than the fourth
round pick. They were right about Dak. That's the one
that stopping. But you know, so we're not gonna sit
up here and we know we know all about what

(01:23:56):
he's gonna do in the NFL. What I will say
is this, I like the fact that you you don't
have to make I don't think as much projection because
he's in a pro style offense. He's in the offense
this year that the New Orleans Saints ran, and his
resume is just that impressible against the great teams, against

(01:24:18):
the great teams one like you know, Cupcake Central. I mean,
you gotta we can go down the line, right, I mean,
it's the history of college football of guys on you know,
I wouldn't not We're not gonna say certainly not smaller teams.
I mean their Division one legitimate teams. But a lot

(01:24:40):
of these guys in Houston do it. You know, Case
Keenom I mentioned him earlier, David Klinger, Andre Warred, guys
that put up these incredible numbers, but their teams don't
win that much, you know, not like like LSU won
this year, and they're not playing sec compensations That's the
thing about Mark stamp Um Sanchez. A lot of people

(01:25:05):
are saying, well, he had one great season, just like
Burrow is now having one great season, and Sanchez was
a bust. Sanchez did it in the Big twelve, right,
There's a big difference doing it in the Big twelve
and doing it in the SEC where half of that
conference is going to be in the NFL. So I
love what Burrow did, and I think you and I

(01:25:26):
both agree he should be the number one pick. Yes,
And the thing with two is simply, I just can't
when a guy has the kind of season that Burrow
just had and you're telling me be seven top ten
and four top fives and the teams they went through
to beat and the numbers he put up. He's from Ohio.
If the Bengals could honestly look at that and pick

(01:25:49):
two of who's coming off two injuries, and I'm not
saying he's not a talent, but you can't, you would be.
It would be a huge mistake, especially if that guy
wants up. Sometimes people get it late us and you know,
he's the late blooms, the late bloomer that happens to people.
Everybody's not great uh, you know, right away, we always
talking about Michael Jordan got cut from the basketball team,

(01:26:09):
right so he won there right away. In the beginning,
he wasn't because he did a good number of all
time grades who were late blooms. Dwayne Waite was late
bloom Marquette, I mean, you know, not Poople and Marquette.
But it wasn't this blue chip, you know, recruit. So
it definitely happens. And uh, we'll see if Joe Burrow
what he does at the next level, does it translate.

(01:26:31):
But also we gotta go to the breaking news of
the day, that is that Alex core who led the
Boston ran Socks to their best season ever, more game
than ever, and in twenty eighteen, he has been fired
based solely, at least to this point, on the report
about the Houston Astros, because he was a major but

(01:26:54):
as a coach with the team at that team, bench
was a major player in that, if not the ager
player involved in that. And he goes to Boston we
presume they're still doing that investigation, but that he basically
took those you know, cheating antics to the Red Sox,
and so the Red Sox got out in front of it.

(01:27:14):
I agree with it. Let me tell you, I think
the Red Sox didn't make the right move to say,
you know, we already know what's coming out, that the
report from houston's bad enough, that's enough that we don't
want him to be here, and god forbid, when we
get the Red Sox report, you know what I mean, Like,
we're already saying that forget about what they say he
did here. What he did in Houston is not acceptable

(01:27:38):
in Boston. That's what the that's what they're saying. Here's
what I want to ask you, Rob, Let's assume for
conversation's sake that what Boston was doing is about the
same similar to what Houston was doing. Should Alex Cora
be banned from baseball for life? I think he should.

(01:27:59):
And I know that's sounds harsh, But to take that
and do it in two organizations and tain't soil whatever
word you want to use, Chris, knowing you're cheating, and
to do that multiple locations, it's because you didn't get

(01:28:20):
you know, caught in Houston. I think that that's a
case where you could ban a guy and say we
just don't want you to be a part of the
game because of what you would because of what you did.
Here's my only thing, and I've been you know, I'm
one that thinks they should have should vacate those world
series titles. Dodgers don't get them, but you would. They

(01:28:41):
would feel better about themselves, wouldn't they. Oh yeah, right?
You just nobody one those years, and I would not
have been against them. In fact, I said, you know,
I think maybe they should have put hit A. J.
Hinch and Lumbo out as well. Um the general man
manager for the ask those But since they didn't, I don't.

(01:29:05):
I don't unless Cora there's something greater than what we
expect to come out. I don't see how you banned
him for life, but you only fire aj You know A. J.
Hinch gets a one year suspension. Well, because it's the same.
I mean, granted, they saying that Hinch was not a
mastermind of it, but he knew what was going on

(01:29:25):
and that's why he didn't He didn't stop it. But
I just don't see how what Core has done is
really that much worse than what Hinch did. I think
it's because of the discrepancy and the punishment, So I
would give him the same thing that you gave Hinch,
I don't. I think he's h is worse because he's
done it at two places. And if he was just

(01:29:47):
an isolated incident, Chris right in Houston, an isolated incident,
then I would agree with you if they come back
and say he didn't do that in Boston at all.
But that's not what people were saying. People were complaining
about the sucks and whether or not they were during
twenty eighteen, whether they were stealing signs or not. So
to say that Cora took the cheating aspect and then

(01:30:08):
brought it to Boston and implemented the same thing, that's
double indemnity. You know, he got busted twice. He can't
get the same thing that a J. Hinch gets. Okay,
AJ Hinch did it in one place, so it's gotta
be more than it's gotta be more than what Hinch
got that No. No, I look, I think I would

(01:30:29):
be fine with both of them being out out of
the game for life. As far as a manager, you know,
maybe somebody hires you as a scout or whatever, but
rob these positions, there's only thirty of them on earth, right,
and they are positions that are privileges and you blew
that privile In both cases, you blew the privilege. I see.
I'm not saying, well, let's let Hinch. He just did

(01:30:51):
it once. Let's let him get away with it, you know,
not don't do it again or you're out. I just
don't think that's how you should do it. And I
think they're very similar. Yeah, it's a little worse if
Cored did it in two places, but Hinch was doing
it too, and he impacted a world series. But the
way that they give out Think about this, if you
have priors and you're you know, facing charges or whatever,

(01:31:18):
the priors count Chris and they and they compound and
give you more time because you're not a first time offender.
That's why Hinch, to me, could get a one year
thing because he doesn't have any priors. If I'm the commissioner,
I go, Okay, we found him guilty here in the
ASTROS thing where they say he was the mastermind of it,
to be honest, right, and now we find out he

(01:31:40):
took that and was the mastermind in Boston and and
and soiled another organization and got other people to continue
this to do this cheating thing against the game. That's
the only reason why I think because of his prior
it wasn't it wasn't the same for life. And the
other part I just threw in earlier is Carlos Beltran

(01:32:02):
was involved as well. I think the Mets should fire him.
I think that despite the league not doing anything to
Carlos Beltran, Chris, if I'm an organization, that shouldn't. You
should never feel comfortable that the guy was involved in
cheating and you're gonna turn your head and act like
it didn't happen. I feel like you kind of have to.
Right after what Houston did firing their manager and general

(01:32:24):
manager Ry and what Boston has done. This is not
Boston reacting to the new investigation point right based on Houston.
So the Mets now will look terrible if they don't
do you're all right with it? Boston wasn't okay with that,
wasn't okay with it because Houston didn't have to fire
him either. No, so let the league do the one

(01:32:45):
year suspension and say we stand behind hen She really
wasn't involved. Yeah he didn't. He didn't, you know, stop it,
But he wasn't involved. They could have made some sort
of case that kind of like they did for the
owner right well, that he didn't know anything about it
and all that. So yeah, they could have made a case,
but I would be I actually would be surprised Rob

(01:33:06):
if within the next few days there's not an announcement
from the met match, just because because of what's the rest,
I just think you have to all right, you'll turned
away In eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven,

Should Alex Cora, when this investigation of the Red Sox

(01:34:12):
is completed, if it's as bad as things went down
with the Astros, should he be banned for life? He's
already been fired by the Red Sox. Should he actually
be banned for life? He still has to get a
punishment from baseball. Just because you got fired doesn't mean
that they're gonna be like, oh, okay, well he's out
the game, so we don't have to do anything. Don't
be a punishment. Yep, no, no question. Let's start with

(01:34:34):
Andre in the Cape. Andre, what say you? Yeah? Thanks
for taking my call. Listen, Alex Core definitely has to
be banned for life. I'm gonna tell you what we saw.
What happened I Shuliss, Joe Jackson and Chicago Black Soft
saw you saw Field the Dreams. Okay, we know that
we can't even prove that Joe Jackson took money based
on how he bawled out in that series. And if

(01:34:55):
Shulist Joe Jackson gets a lifetime band, then who the
heck is Alex Score let's say hurt my Heart and
calling from the Cape and Alex Correy, you want to
talk about it, feel good story. You know, in terms
of these two world series, he comes here, he gives them.
You know, he's a skipper. The Red Sox had one
of the best series in history. Obviously, this year is down,
but high hopes for this man. And then this breaks. No,
so that that's a completely separate story line. Andrea, let

(01:35:16):
me ask you. Let me ask you one question real
quick as a Red Sox fan, how much does it hurt?
Because that was a historic year for the Red Sox
twenty eighteen and the idea that they cheated, does that
take away from what you you know, what you saw
and feel about that championship? Yeah, indeed, and indeed rob
At tae brute Okay, stabbed the Okay, we haven't even

(01:35:38):
got to. People are just stunned right now, not even
to process it. But it's he stablished in the back
frankly and uh. But in terms of him as an
individual and in the scope of baseball, he's got to
be banned for life. You know. The Chicago Black Sox
people aren't necessarily talking about it. No, No, most players
had to go, then he has to go, all right,
Andrea appreciate it. He's passionate about it is. Let's go

(01:35:59):
to Kevin and over city. What's up Kevin? What's up? Guys?
First of all, Chris, I want to say something about you.
Every owner says you have the best sources. You're the
greatest guy, and you have true sources. You're a great guy.
And Rob, you're one of my favorite you do one
of my favorites for year years. I love this show
and um first appreciate it. Of course. First of all,

(01:36:27):
I just want you to look at that that game
was Clayton Kershaw when he had a five zero league. Rob,
you've been around baseball was so suspicious, it was nothing.
It evaporated. Those guys were getting singles, they were getting
home runs. So it's obviously as a foul there. Now,
Alex Cora, the reason I think he should be banned
for life is because he was the mastermind behind this,

(01:36:48):
and it wasn't like it was just some sign stealing
in in the middle of one game or one inning.
It was a planned, planned strategy to overthrow the World Series.
And you can't mess with the intergrity of the game.
Ya Hula Show, Jackson's on a baseball, Alex core j Hige, Luntall,
they all should be on a baseball. And if you're
gonna do that for the steroid guys, do it to

(01:37:10):
these guys. Because one thing with steroid guys, you could
strike out a guy on steroids. You can't strike out
a guy when he knows what kitches are coming. It's impossible.
Mark Kevin, I love your passion man for the game,
and what you sound like a Dodger fan. Who if
I'm if I'm a Dodger fan right now, I don't
feel good that the two teams Devin Devin won the
World Series since nineteen eighty eight. They went right two

(01:37:32):
years in a row. Chris and the two teams that
beat them both are emboiled in these scandals, and there's
there's nothing you can do about it. Right, even if
they had given the titles to the Dodgers and staid
that wouldn't it wouldn't feel right. And we said the
other thing, Kershaw's legacy got got beat up now, right,
that's one of the kershaw bladdest thing. Honestly, when you

(01:37:53):
think about the human element, that's one of the saddest things,
because that's what people are gonna remember Clayton kershaw Right,
as great as he was in the regular season, there's
always going to be the yeah but and then the people.
I know that people out there said, yeah, but what
about the Nationals who beat up who beat him up?
In hands? Do an investigation. Now, let's go to Cameron

(01:38:14):
in North Carolina cameraon you're on with the Eye Couple. Hey,
what's up, guys? Absolutely, Alice Cores should be banned for life,
like the previous scholar status ruined the integer of the game.
And I've been seeing lots of stuff out there, guys
about people not understanding how much an advantage you get. Yeah,
I don't. I agree with you. I don't think people
really know what a big deal that is. If you

(01:38:36):
know what's coming, it doesn't mean you're going to hit
it automatically, but it gives you a big advantage. That's
why they are That's why there are signs. I mean,
that's that's why the whole thing you try to hide them. Yeah,
no question, no question about that, Thanks Cameron. I would
and I've said this before, Rob, I would like to
know what percentage of the time they were right, Yeah,

(01:38:58):
I don't know if that would be interesting. Were they
only they may have only been right forty five percent
of the time, still a lot, right, I mean it
gives you an advantage, no doubt, But how often were
they wrong? You know? Could that have hurt some of
their batters? And we remember, bottom line is the incentive
was still wrong, your motivation is still wrong, and you
you like, like one of the guys just called it's true.

(01:39:21):
There's a difference between lazy catcher. I spotted the side
on that second base and you're hitting. That's different from
setting up a camera, begging your garbage can, tipping off
the This is a whole plan. This is like systematically
and I just think when you when you bring technology

(01:39:41):
into the equation, that's when it's wrong. I mean, we've
all played sports. You're always trying to get an advantage
and nobody really thinks of it is cheating, not right.
But you once you bring technology in, now you're you're
doing something that if I bring technology in, I too
truly have an advantage over you, no doubt. If we're
both just using our eye, we're trying to pick up
what we can, we both on the level playing field.

(01:40:03):
That's the difference that separates the playing field. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. If you still want to
get in, let's go to Mohammed in New Hampshire. Mohammed,
you're on with Chris and Rob oh Right, great show.
I love the show. Okay, great, we love we appreciate it.
Thank you. Yes, I listen. I listen to you guys
every chance. Yes, I leave with Chris. I think they

(01:40:26):
should take the championships away from them. Mohammad are you
Are you a Red Sox fan? You're in New Hampshire
and you want them to take the championship if they
find them guilty. I definitely think they should take the
championship from both both teams. Yeah, no, I agree, Chris,

(01:40:47):
Christian gotta do something to Mohammad people from doing it
in the future. And again right, whether you agree or not.
There was a story Jeff passing row ESPN dot Com.
At the end he talked about how one of the
executives he was talking about saying he thinks twenty five
to the owners be all right with this because what

(01:41:09):
happened to the owner nothing. He fired a GM in
a hand coach. You're gonna hire two more none of
the players got punished and you still got your championships.
So all right, A few folks know the inner workings
of the Lakers locker room more than Harrison Safford. Trust us.

ninety nine on Fox. All right. Our next guest is
a co host of the Inside the Green Room podcast.
Popularly he doesn't with the Lakers shooting guard Danny Green.

(01:42:15):
His name is Harrison Sanford. Harrison, Welcome to the Eye.
Hi guys, how's it going. Thanks for having me. It's
great to have you on, man. We appreciate the time.
Now Look, we're gonna talk Lakers and we're gonna talk Clippers.
I think these are the two teams in the West.
I think the only Look, I picked the Lakers to
win the championship, and but one team scares me in

(01:42:39):
the West, only one, and that's the Clippers. How do
you view the matchup between the two teams? Obviously the
Clippers have gotten the best up in the first two. Well,
you guys know what I do. I do a podcast
with Danny Green. So I would love for the Lakers
to win. I would like to think that they're the favorite.
But if I'm being realistic, the Clippers are the one
team the Lakers do not want to play. And you

(01:43:00):
can look at the game last night at the Lake
that the clip that the Lakers played. Lebron James had
a hard time in the first half get a Pastristan Thompson.
Imagine what happens when he has to go past Kawahi
Paul George, Patrick Beverley picking him up full court. And
the way the Lakers have operated all season, They've been
one of the best offenses. We have one of the
best net raidings when Lebron's on the floor, when he's

(01:43:21):
off the floor when he's off the floor, and it's
Rondo as the main playmaker hasn't been really working out
too well. So you got Lebron year seventeen going against
premier defenders and your outlet as from the playmaking standpoints
for Gion Rondo, Now you might get playoff Rondo, but
it's not to say if you can't count on that
like you would have in the past. Now, what do

(01:43:41):
Danny and even other Lakers that you may be around,
what do they feel about the Clippers? How confidence? I
gotta be honest, I see mad swag when the Lakers
play everybody else, You know what I'm saying. I see
like and signifying to the fans all that stuff. I
don't see that same at least not in the fourth
quarter against the Clippers. Maybe in the first three. What

(01:44:04):
do the Lakers say about that potential matchup. Well, I
think the Lakers are still going to be confident, the
verylea stuff that they're going to portray to the media
for anybody even close to them, because they've had leads
in both of the games. They had hands to win
both of those times, So I imagine from that standpoint,
they're gonna feel confident. You know, the interesting thing if
you go back to that Christmas Day game and you
go to a couple of games during this season, Lebron's

(01:44:25):
teammates have had to tell him in the locker room, hey,
you need to be more aggressive, Hey, you need to
push the pace. So I think because of the nature,
I mean, the chemistry in this the Lakers locker room
has been reportedly great. And a couple of guys in
my team on the team and told me it's been great.
So if you have a roster that's able to challenge
Lebron and maybe bring out the best in him, you know,
I'm sure that will have a wealth of a good

(01:44:47):
effect for them going into potential series against the Clippers. Again,
it's still gonna be a tough match up. Whether Lebron
comes in that matchup, you know, fully healthy, with the
full level of confidence, it's still going to be tough.
But hey, they got I mean, look at the inside,
they got to White Howard got development Key, and they
got Anthony Dames, and you could look at that Clippers roster.
They do not have an answer for those guys. So

(01:45:08):
it's going to be a stylistic battle, and you know, hopefully,
you know, for Lakers fans, at least the Purple and
Gold comes out on top. What was the motivation for
Danny Green to want to go to the Lakers. There's
a chance to play with Lebron, chance to win a championship,
or they offered them the best contract, you know what
I mean? What was what? What was the what moved him? Well,

(01:45:29):
the best money was going to come from the Mavericks
just because there's no state income tax. The deal was
going to be this pretty much the same with the
Lakers and the Mavericks. We're gonna offer. But I know,
as he looked at that Mavericks deal, he wasn't sure
what Luca and Porzingis were going to be in this
in the immediate future. Obviously they look really good, but
they're still not title favorites. I think for Danny, I
think he understands how important it is for him to

(01:45:51):
be on a winning team just for you know, his legacy,
for his after playing aspirations and its entirety of his career,
dating back to Hype School. He's always been on winning
teams from high school to playing with North Carolina without
a title there being with the Spurs and winning with
the Raptors. I just still think he has an appetite
to be on the team that's really not a compete

(01:46:13):
for a title. And you know, you guys covered basketball
for a while, those type of guys like Danny Green,
they don't look good on a team that's bottom feeding,
you know, those three d guys. Your value just dissipates
when you play in that type of role. But when
you're on a team where you could actually show your value,
I mean obviously just makes it more enjoyable of a
process of eighty two regular season gamesofs about Also, like

(01:46:37):
playing with Lebron. Some people like it, some players maybe
it doesn't always work out, you know what I mean
when you have a guy that big who kind of
blocks the sun from everybody Else's Danny Green cool with
the way things have gone and playing with Lebron Lebron shadow, Yeah, No,
I think he loves the fact that he's playing with Lebron.
Just from the standpoint somebody who's who's a leader in

(01:46:58):
the locker room more vocal. I know the guys go
out routinely to movie premiers. Um, you know, Lebron had
that big party, Like Lebron is a leader in terms
of a vocal leader rallying the troops, maybe more than
anybody he's had before, not Kawhi, not Tim Duncan. He's
really uh, you know, Lebron has didn't go to college,
so he's had that, you know, that that part of

(01:47:20):
him that he's missing out on it. And Danny said,
Lebron has been trying to recreate that this year and
he's probably done. I mean, he's done his whole entire career,
so I know from that standpoint he likes it. Um.
You know. The interesting thing from a basketball standpoint, what's
interesting about this roster Compared to any roster that Danny's
been on before, there were a there are a wealth
of passers on other teams. There was Managed Noble, Tony Parker,

(01:47:43):
Tim Duncan, Boris Dale, people who would swing the ball
around the court. Same with the Raptors, Kyle Lowry, Marcus
soul Fred, Dan Steet, Whereas with the Lakers, a lot
of the passes or Danny sat seemed to come from Lebrons.
There's not a lot of swing swing action on the perimeter,
so I know he's been trying to get it. It's
a different rhythm. You have very different or balls pass
yet balls wingers as opposed to just catch it and

(01:48:04):
shoot coming from one person. So I think that's something
he's adjusting to. But off the court, he's loved playing
with Lebron, and obviously on the court, you really can't
get better than playing with Lebron if you're a catching
shoot player, Harrison saying for co host of the Inside
the green Room podcast with Lakers shooting guard Danny Green
joining the out, Is it true that Lebron told Danny
Green in a tight situation late in the game, be

(01:48:26):
ready to take the shot because you know, I don't
want to go to the free throw a lot. Is
that true? How are you doing it to me? You
don't know what's good? Come on, Chris' chuck, I'm chucking good.
It was good. I can't lie that was good. I'm

(01:48:47):
not as much as I'm just playing, all right, Harrison,
The trade deadlines like three weeks away, Um, who do
you what do you think the Lakers need? And maybe
you know from talking to some of the players and stuff,
what do you sense that they feel like they need. Well,
it's an interest. That's an interesting thing, and it's it's

(01:49:10):
gonna be a challenge for Rob Plinker and Frank Blobo
because the chemistry is great from for the team and
they're already playing eleven guys. Um, you know, some of
the guys feel like they should get some playing time
either as well. So I don't know it's gonna be
if it's gonna be easy to get another player on
the roster and upset that team chemistry, because you guys know,
team chemistry means a live It means the guy who's

(01:49:31):
gonna screen harder for you, means a guy's gonna pass
you the ball when you're open. And I don't know
if that's really gonna I don't know if they want
to go out there on the market and risk you know,
the team chemistry aspect of it, because I mean, you know,
it's obviously has an impact on the game and how
people perform. Um if obviously every Laker fan would love
to get another point guard. Um, obviously the nick uh

(01:49:53):
Sarren Copson is an option if he comes back out
of retirement. One probably if he if he decides to play,
you know, but then yeah, no, he would he would
definitely work for the interesting thing about him, do you
I don't know if you could would consider him a
better playmaker than Jarmander. He might be a better overall player,
but better better spot up shooter. And at this point,

(01:50:17):
well again he hadn't played for a year, but you know,
he was picking up full court at times defensively. But yeah,
I mean, look, he's been out to think he's gonna
come in and be great that You're right, that probably
is wishful thinking. You know. My thing is there's a
lot of talk about them not having to play another playmaker,
but besides Lebron, but when he and Davis sat out,

(01:50:37):
guys made plays, you know, So you gotta give guys
the opportunity. A lot of times when you play with Lebron,
you don't get the opportunity as much to make plays. Yeah,
and I think that's one of the things that a
lot of the guys would have to try and get
it used to. Like I remember last year when Danny's
with the Raptors. I think one time a game he
would get in transition, he's pull up from the left

(01:50:57):
wing and he just dribbled the ball and pull up
for three. Everybody's worrying about the shooters spreading out, and
a lot of times on the roster when le Bron's
on the court, because he's such a great passer, you
immediately just give him the ball. Um. So I think
over time that they're gonna have to work on that,
especially in the series, whether you know. I think that
what happened recently for the Lakers has been great, but
they didn't Okay, see, a lot of guys got their

(01:51:18):
confidence boosted in terms of just not not just playing well,
but playing well with the ball in their hand. I mean,
Avery Bradley, you know, can handle the ball off the court.
So you know, as the season goes on, I imagine
at some point Lebron is gonna get more arrest you know,
that maybe gives I don't know, I think he going
he going do with Jabbar's record. Hey Harrison man, we

(01:51:40):
appreciate the insight. We will, all right, brother, keep up
the good work. All right, This is off. This is

don't know whether to smile. Let you kick a field,
go man. All right, you know the deal. You can

(01:52:46):
trash anyone or anything in the world of sports. Let's
start with Doug in Fresno, California. Doug, who you're trashing? Man?
I gotta trash MLB fellows ahead, Why let's hear it.
They gotta stay out of their own way. The only
way that this thing is ever gonna change is if
the players them stills go back to police in the game.

(01:53:06):
You know, it's a whole lot different. You know, stealing
signs from a coach whatnot. And you can steal his indicator,
that's one thing. But if you got a camera and
you're still on the catcher signs that way, that's totally different.
You know what I mean That takes. So you think
a player on the Astros should have been like, look this, no,
we can't do this. Well, Mike Farres, know's the one
who who right at everybody out. I think we need

(01:53:29):
to go like to know, Ah Synder guard way, you
know when he got when guys were giving him crap
about throwing inside and he said, hey, you got a
problem with me, I'm sixty feet away. We need to
get back to that way. I know. Thanks, Doug, appreciate.
How about Casey in Maine. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports. Ready, who are you trashing? Hey, we're
trashing New England Patriots fans right now? Oh go ahead. Hey,

(01:53:54):
I listened for the past fifteen years fan out of
New England, of the pages, just to fan of football,
and you've been telling your team, your team is great,
They've been great, they got a dynasts, they're going on great.
I love it. Yeah, we tell you how great they
are all the time. And then you started our face
about our teams. Listen, your dynasty's over, baby, see later,
Brady Cela the love that he once said that eight

(01:54:18):
years ago, long ago, long ago. Patrick in North Carolina,
who you're trashing? Hey, bros. Are you doing what's up?
I'm going outstarted the boxing. No, I'm trash talking. Unfortunately,
Roy Williams, the head coach North Caroline tar Here, do
it all right, Roy Williams, who I love and respect.
You are freaking Roy Williams, three time national champion, Hall

(01:54:42):
of Famer and former Coach of the Year. You recruited
the players to play in your system and have always
got the best out of each player. Luke may A
walk on, for example, Instead of saying the school should
fire you, how about you getting this team back to
playing tar Here basketball and make the tar Here nation prior.
I mean, that's all it's got to do. I mean,

(01:55:02):
just get back and play basketball and be a coach
like you are nice and he's right about that. How
about Alex in Seattle, you're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. Who you trashing? I'm here to trash
my hometown Cincinnati Bengals and give a piece of advice
to Heisman Joe So football football, Fellers, is a game,

(01:55:28):
a strategy. It's not like basketball or baseball. It's it's
a coach's game. Marvin Lewis when he was there, If
I was Joe Burrow, I would go to this type
Bengals front office and demand that we rehire Marvin Wow.
I don't understand why there's not been one one word
for Zach Taylor's job, not one church, nothing. This man
went two and fourteen. Imagine if Marvin would have went

(01:55:49):
two and fourteen his first year. I don't think he'd
be there anymore. Woody, there you go, Alex Wow, take
no Mark, Marvin Lewis everybody. He was there a long
time and they made the play seven times one like
they weren't making the playoffs. How about Jonathan in Albany,
New York. You're in the old couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Who are you trashing? Well, trash my favorite team, the Panthers,

(01:56:11):
Top to bottom Uncle Rob. Not only do we get
a brand new owner with a couple of dollars in
his pocket, finally the sun is shining, but he hires
a college coach who wants to build a program. We're
an NFL team. We need a new quarterback, We need
a couple of defensive players and a couple of old
linemen and we can get the chip. We need a
new GM. The last good player we drafted was Camer Newton,

(01:56:34):
Camer Newton, and when Coople is about to retire, how
do you not know that he's been injured on and
off for two years and he's our only player on
the defensive end that can make plays first snap to
last snap. This is ridiculous. I'm not buying another Cam
Newton jersey. I'm not watching another game until we fix something.
Thank you, Uncle Wow. Good takes today. Joseph in Virginia Passion.

(01:56:58):
I love the passion fellas. I gotta trash the seventy
sixers organization because they are just making too many mistakes.
So first things first, they're using that outdated formula for
their game. Now, they got too many bigs in the
lane and they have a huge band aid that likes
to eat cheeseburgers and get foot runs before the game.
They need to trade in beads, build that team around

(01:57:21):
Ben Simmons, and for the love of God, fire Brett Brown.
He has a winning percentage of thirty eight percent. If
last year and Jimmy Leaving didn't teach them anything, the
same thing that happened with Rick Carlisle and Larry Brown,
Doug Collins and Phil Jackson, Mark Jackson and Steve Kerr.
You need a coach to get you over the top.
Brett is not it. Wow taste Joseph in Indiana, who

(01:57:46):
you trashing? I'm trashing the MLBEF investigation. But she's an ASCO.
They actually should be investing that sill with Cardinals because
the GM originated from there. The Cardinals have their scandal
years two years ago. They should have come everyone in
that orders she got banned. The Sailors. Cardinals are the

(01:58:06):
call to this mess. They deserved to be and all
those championships taken away, all right, Joseph coming hard too,
Rick and for a lot of day, you got about
twenty seconds. What's up, fellows. I'm gonna try some Football
Hall of Fame for electors. Jimmy Johnson and it's eighty
nine mortal wins. I know he's got two Super Bowls,

(01:58:26):
but so does Mike Shanahan, Tom Flores and George Seyffert
and they had more wins. And you've got two guys
that are the top ten all time coaching wins, mary
Son hiber and Dan Reezl didn't win, but at least
they have to win. And he used his first television
platform to push down cheel out the door, and he
and he had a ferrari, maybe not a ferrari of
Porch and Dan Marino and he wanted to tournamentto a

(01:58:48):
you go so for his last four years here in Miami,
and what he did to Marino, all right, the one
he's he's a Dolphins fan. The one thing I will
say is he actually won three. Barry Switzer just happened
to be coaching, all right. Couple seeing tomorrow. Peace,
