Fox Sports Radio weekend host. He's on the hot seat
that's coming up at the nine thirty Eastern, six thirty Pacific.
So we got a great show. Let's welcome in to
the odd couple crew, Rob g. Who we got today?
I'm here, j Alex Tisher on the ones and twos,

(04:24):
on the Wheels of Steel, and on the update desk
none other than the low quacious Brian Finley. Hey, there
you go, Brian. So here you go, Daddy. We got
the entire group here. So jonas Um, let's kick it
off with a little NBA NFL talk. And you know,

(04:46):
Mark Cuban is one of these guys beating the drama
about once the NBA does get back, and you know
he'd be willing to start uh an NBA season after
we see what happens here in like December. Let's start
the season and December because that's the unofficial beginning of
the NBA anyway, when people start to pay attention. And

(05:08):
one of the biggest arguments is so you know, we
don't have to compete with the NFL and all that.
And I'm gonna sit here and tell you that this
is the biggest false narrative I've ever heard about being
afraid to compete with the NFL, and that's the reason
why the NBA should started season in December. I'm not

(05:30):
all the sports overlap. The one thing that makes this
country great, especially in March, is that everything's going on
usually in March. What's happening in Jonas March madness. NBA
is getting ready for the playoffs in April, so things
are heating up. People are jockeying for playoff position. We
also have Major League Baseball that starts now at the

(05:52):
end of March, or Baseball season is started exactly. The
playoffs are about to kickoff in the NHL shell, so
sports overlap. It's a great time and there's room for everybody.
I don't get this whole notion that people are afraid
of the NFL. Oh my god, we can have a league.

(06:15):
Let's just push aside from the NFL so we don't
have to compete. The reason the NFL the NBA playoffs
Jonas are bad this year. Look at all the stars
who were hurt right one are the marquee teams in
the Golden State War. Is what happened this year? They
fell off off the cliff. Yeah, two big stars, Steph

(06:37):
and Clay Out hurt. That hurt, Kevin Durant hurt. He's
another one. He's the top two or three player in
the league. So there were a couple of reasons or
why things went south. But this whole notion, Jonas, you
can be with it. I'm not with it at all.
I'm one hundred percent with it. I've been saying it

(06:57):
for a couple of years now. They should absolutely aren't
the NBA season on Christmas Day. It's your annual launch date.
Everybody gathering around opening up gifts with family, and the
NBA starts on Christmas Day, and what ends up happening
is that you push the season back two months. So now,
all of a sudden, there is no more slow time
on the sports calendar. All of a sudden, the NBA

(07:18):
playoffs now fall in July and August, when there's nothing
else going on other than the Midsummer Blues in Major
League Baseball and some offseason training camp talk in the NFL.
I think they absolutely should go with this approach. I'm
one hundred percent on board with Mark Cuban because here's
the reality, and people don't like this, but it's just
a fact. The two most popular sports in this country

(07:38):
are the NFL one and college football two. And you
want to go head to head with them, and then
look around and go, what's the issue with our ratings?
Why are our numbers so down? Because people aren't into
you at that point in the season. Plus you're going
up against Major League Baseball playoffs. And I've said this
from the beginning as well too. No sport ratchet ratchets

(07:59):
at up a notch from the regular season to the playoffs,
like Major League Baseball, every single pitch, you're on the
edge of your seat. The NBA can't compete with that.
It's a losing battle. It's a losing formula. They're losing
in the ratings to all of these other sports. You've
got the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl is outrating NBA games.

(08:20):
Get away from it. Make it up on the back end,
have more regular season all to yourself instead of competing
in the fall with these other sports. And I think
he'd be in a much better spot. Here. Here's the issue.
Oh everybody loves you can't get enough. You just said
the two most popular sports. I can't get enough. Yep, yep. Well,
how is the Bowl attendance for college football this past
year because people want to watch on TV. I don't

(08:42):
want to asking you why why not if the sport
is so popular, I'm just asking you how come people
won't go? They just started a couple of football leagues
because you know what, there's a lull after the Super Bowl.
You got all these football fans who just watched the
Super Bowl and they don't care what football it is.
It could be peewee football, and they're gonna show up

(09:04):
and they're gonna watch. Did you see the numbers the XFL?
I mean, the x x FL was probably I mean,
with everything that went on, fortunate to be in the
spot where they had to close down because of where
their numbers were going, both attendance wise and TV ratings wise.
Would you agree on that XFL games were out rating

(09:24):
NBA games. No, But I'm talking about where the numbers
were for football. They were not there. And you're I
told you this year, I'm gonna give the NBA mulligan
because of some of the some of the big stars
that were absent. But but that doesn't mean that the
NBA numbers were totally in the tank. And here's the
other part. Everybody else there's nothing to compete with in

(09:48):
the summer for the NBA Baseball TV local TV ratings,
which nobody ever gives any kind of credence to which
I don't know. But last year twenty nineteen, not ten
years ago, not fifteen years ago, twenty nineteen primetime TV
ratings JONAS, which is what eight pm to eleven, right,

(10:10):
that's prime time. Yeah, in the top twenty five markets,
major League Baseball teams were the number one watch on
all channels. They beat NBC, they beat ABC, they beat CBS.
It's not even close. And here's the other part. As

(10:31):
much as everybody thinks that the summer people take vacations,
people like to be outside. They don't want to be inside.
There are a lot of places in this country where
the weather is horrible most of the year. When the
summer comes, that's why they that's why they enjoy baseball games.
That's why baseball so seventy million tickets because people want
to be outside. And I'm telling you it's it's a

(10:53):
bad idea. I mean, I'm stunned, and I probably needed
to do a little bit more research for this until
I admit and I want to apologize on the air
I didn't know that baseball still existed, I'll be honest.
So you didn't know. I had no You were like,
wait a minute, the Dodgers. You live in Los Angeles.
The Dodgers have drawn three point nine million fans and

(11:15):
have led Major League Baseball and attended seven straight years,
and you didn't know what's going on here? And you know,
and the amazing they've had the Dodgers, with all those
people showing up, you know what, they continue to deliver
failure in the postseason, well every single year. Last year,
when the Nationals got that Grand Slam and the people
walked out of Dodgers Stadium, I gave Dodger fans credit

(11:37):
because hell man, am I right? They? Oh yeah it was.
It was brilliant. Look. I just think there's a there's
an old adage um and it's about the difference between
a brawler and a jiu jitsu fighter. And the mentality
is when you see a wall, a brawler just wants
to punch through the wall. A jiu jitsu guy figures
out a way to get around the wall. The NFL
is a wall in the in the fall, you if

(11:59):
you go up against it, you got issues. You've got
to figure out a way around it. And if you
set up your launch date on Christmas and all of
a sudden, now you've got your entire playoff run in
the summertime, and you're giving people options to watch the
NBA Finals in August, escaping the heat. If it's humid
in some of these southern places and they want to

(12:21):
go watch basketball, they can do that. I'm telling you,
I think it would do wonders for the league, and
I think it would set itself apart instead of being,
you know, one of the many sports in a log jam,
going up against the World Series in the NFL and
college football and all of these other things that are happening,
the NHL, all of these things that are going on,
I think I think the NBA would be better served

(12:43):
because right now they're facing a losing battle. Here's the
other thing too, When we talk about the NFL, and
even when you talk about numbers and the Super Bowl
and what kind of viewers and all that stuff you
talk about, you could even I'll give you if you
want to put the entire say like viewers and just
throw it into a pole a bowl because a lot

(13:05):
of people have Super Bowl parties and they were at
other people's house. And you say they had one hundred
thousand viewers, right, and the super Bowl actually over it
was one hundred and fourteen million back one two, three four,
five years, six years ago, it's down to one hundred million.
And here's the other thing. Even with thee hundred million viewers,
you want to say that the Super Bowl has that

(13:27):
means in this country of three hundred and thirty five million,
that two hundred and thirty five million didn't watch the
Super Bowl. So my point is, well, you can do that,
but as big and as strong as the NFL, it's
still not where there aren't other people who maybe aren't
interested in football who you have. So so there you

(13:48):
have it. So here's here's what we want to throw
out our telephone number eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine ninety six sixty three sixty nine.
And should the NBA move the star date to their
season to Christmas so that they can avoid going head
to head with the NFL. We'll continue that conversation with you.

(14:08):
Next is the Odd Couple with Jonas Knox in for
Chris Boussard and Rob Parker right here on Fox Sports
Radio stick and stay America. Be sure to catch live

Parker weekdays at seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on

(14:32):
Wednesday on The Odd Couple Fox Sports Radio, Rob Parker,
Jonas Knox filling in for Chris Brussard. We do need Jonas,
especially today. And do you own or rent your home?

(14:53):
because having a home is hard work. Go to Geico
dot com, get a quote and see how but you
could save Geico dot com easy. So, Jonas, we're talking
about whether or not the NBA should think about starting
its season in December, kicking it off. Then you love

(15:14):
the idea. You would rather stay away from the UH
and NFL if you can. I'm not with it. I
think there's plenty of viewers. Everybody doesn't love the NFL.
Everybody's not into the NBA, everybody's not into the NHL.
I mean, the NHL was totally abandoned by network television

(15:34):
basically until NBC saved it. And the league didn't go away,
didn't go anywhere. They're still they're making money. I mean,
let's not let's not pretend that, uh yeah, the NHL
is is you know where you want to, you know,
put all your backing and when it comes to man
like the point, my point is that it's still around
and it's still help. Yeah, I get it. Here's here's

(15:57):
my The only thing that I would say, and this
is just peeling back the curtain here. I think, I
think the audience. I think people listening here on Fox
Sports Radio, they need to know the reason why you
want all of these sports log jammed in the fall
is because you live at sports bars. I have never
met anybody who's not really a drinker who spends more

(16:17):
time at sports bars than Rob Parker. Exactly. You've had
flats lemon pepper preferred at every single sports bar in
this country, and you're okay with it because they've got
fifty five TVs minimum at a lot of these places,
so you can watch all these games at the same time.
But I come from a humble background, all right, I didn't.
I didn't grow up a wealthy like Rob Parker. I

(16:39):
come from from the humble streets of Thousand Oaks, California,
where you're you're lucky to have one TV in the house,
and you've got to hold the intena together on top
of the TV just so you can get a little
bit of reception. So I don't need all these games
flooding me in the fall. I can only watch one
at a time. I prefer less. And let's spread out
the entertainment over the course of the year. All right,

(17:00):
seven seven ninety nine. Fox is the telephone number. Let's
kick it off with Connor in Washington. You're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Turn down your radio.
What do you got? Connor? Hey, how's it going? So?
I am with Jonas here. I completely agree. I think
there are twenty of viewers in the NBA yet, but

(17:21):
there could be more if we avoid the conflict with
the NFL with MLB playoffs, et cetera. However, I think
it should start on January first, not Christmas Day, for
a couple of reasons. One, it's a new year and
new beginning of a new season. And also, we don't
have to have a season that goes the seventeen eighteen
season the eighteen nineteen season. You could just have the

(17:41):
twenty nineteen season like it is in baseball, like it
is in most of football, etc. So there's a couple
of reasons there. Oh you want to be nice and tidy.
I'm just okay, okay, listen, let me tell you it's
also going to happen. You start your season on January first,
You're gonna lose to bowl games because that's tradition on
January first. I mean, come on, it's Christmas. It's a

(18:02):
Christmas Day. Yeah. No, the NBA on Christmas is fine.
I like the way they don't have to have twenty
games on but no, you have like five. But but
I like that. I think it does work. Let's go
to Mark and Sacramento. You're on the odd couple. Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Mark, what's going on? Guys? How
are you doing today? Doing great? Good? I kind of

(18:22):
like it the way it is. And the reason why
I do is because maybe there's a that overlapp and
I'm a huge sports fan. I kind of like that overlapping.
I do believe right about mid to late October, there's
a week in there for all four sports intersect and
you're able to challenge and I really enjoy that even
I even get into a little hockey when it starts,

(18:44):
and I like when they end, because you get into
one ends in January, which is hockey, then the Super
Bowl USI in February, which is the NFL. They're right
about that time. Rob loves it because now we're getting
into baseball. Yes, and then you and then you ride
the BA into the summer, and then baseball takes over,
then you start to cycle again. Yeah, so I kind

(19:05):
of I kind of like it that way. It really
it may seem congested in the beginning, but it spreads
itself out as you go, and it allows the sports
to actually have their own um spotlight, so to speak,
in a month where they could where you could really
really see them in the end in the playoffs. And
I like it spread out that way. Hey, Rob, here's

(19:25):
what you should do. A fun little exercise an hour
three when we reset this topic, you should take the
opposite opinion and Mark will call up and agree with you. Again,
that's exactly he don't play that game on real man,
like you Team Greed, Team Greed. You guys got to
have everything in the fall, It's all got to be there.
Why spread anything out why don't you just have Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter,
and Halloween all on the same day while we're at

(19:46):
it too. I mean that's totally different. But but but
the whole idea that everything has to be in a
nice package, and I can't, I can't function because there's
another game on somewhere else. I get to decide which
one is more important to me. And if I want,
I could have picture and picture that they still have
that you could watch two games at one time. When

(20:09):
when that came out, I had it. It It was big picture,
a picture while I'm watching another game, even though I
couldn't hear it, but I was watching another game while
I watched the game. And I just this whole notion
to stay clear of the NFL. I just nobody, no
business operates like that. I just don't think that. That's

(20:29):
if you're a league, you should be worried about what
the NFL does. That's its own entity. The NBA, for
all of its juice now used to be on tape
delay their championship game. Jonas, you're too young, but that's
what happened. I've heard stories. Can you imagine that? Do

(20:49):
you know? Do you know watch? Do you know why
the NFL wound up on Fox instead of CBS after
a million years, because back then the NFL was good,
wasn't as popular and was going down, and they tried
to raise their rates and CBS said, you know what,
even though you've been a staple in our broadcast, we're
not paying it. They thought they could get away without

(21:10):
paying it. And you know what, Fox, an upstart network,
mortgaged everything and they got it, and you know, but
they gave up the NFL. And you know, the most
key edition Fox made when they got the NFL, they
started putting the score on the screen at all times
during the game. That changed everything that was never happening before.
You remember back in the day, you watch to put
it up so often. You would go to break and

(21:31):
you'd have to wait until they go to commercial, and
then sometimes they wouldn't air it, so you have to
wait till after the commercial to see what the actual
score was the game. Fox was the first network to
put the scoreboard and on the screen, and they would
switch it around depending on the corners of the screen
and what quarter the game that was on. It was
during the NFL. Here's here's the part that I think
is funny like this idea that like your buddy Lebron

(21:53):
and some of these NBA players and people out there
that don't like the fact that they might have to
play games and empty arenas with no fans there. Because
I don't know if you knew this or not, but
Lebron James like he's all about the fans, like like
he's he's a fans first guy, which is why he
left thousands of them hanging outside his pizza shop in
southern California when he didn't when he knows showed. So
I don't know if you know that or not. Lebron's

(22:15):
big about the fans and all that the idea that
the NBA and people out there are pushing back at
them possibly having to play games in empty arenas to
finish the season. Where do you stand on that? Because
I think it's ridiculous. I think it's more about can
the league keep them safe the whole notion. This is
not twelve guys with a basketball, ten guys with a

(22:36):
basketball and a referee and two coaches. You know how
many other support staff have to go in in order
to put this on. So I'm my concert isn't about
the fans. It's about can they keep those people safe
that are there to do it? And so here you go.
You want to start up the league, We just saw
it in China. What they do They shut it down again.

(22:56):
We tried to start it up. That's my Jonas, that's
my if I get why they would want to do
it without fans because they want to put something on
TV and make money. I agree. And if you were
to ask the NBA and you pull them aside and
you strap them to allow detect your test and say,
all right, you got to pick one or the other,
the fans that watch at home or the fans that
go to the arena, They're gonna pick the fans at
watch at home because they're more of them and they're

(23:16):
invested more into them, no doubts. The arena is just
sort of sprinkles on top of the Sunday. It's not
necessary if you really want to get a season. No,
And you're right, And that's what even the NFL at
one point talked about it being a TV show, which
is what it is now, instead of a sporting event,
because most people would rather just watch it on TV
and that's it and not go. But yeah, that's where

(23:38):
we are so to be interesting to talk. You know,
a little bit more about that in the program. But
coming up next FS one football analyst Brady Quinn, and
you could ask him this, Jonas, if he's ever had
a pippull on his face or something. We'll find out
end up story. But he says, if Cam Newton was smart,
he wouldn't sign with any NFL team right now. So

(24:00):
he'll explain that. Coming up next. Fox Sports Radio has
the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all

Jonas Knox, it is the odd couple Fox Sports Radio
coming to you live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios.

(24:21):
It's easy to say fifteen percent of more in cornsturance
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. Our next guest is
up Brady Quinn, the former NFL quarterback Fox Sports Football analysts.
Of course, his Twitter is at Brady Underscore Quinn and

(24:45):
yes you can check him out. Knox and Quinn Sunday
nights eight to eleven pm Eastern right here on Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Brady? Not much, Rob, always a
pleasure talk with you, and yeah, j that other guy.
Come on now. Jonas and I were talking about come on, Brady,
before we get into the football. There's plenty. Have you

(25:05):
ever had a pimple or anything? I've never seen anybody.
What kind of football player you with? Perfect skin, your hair,
you have everything, got all your tea too. Yeah, yeah,
but most of them at this point, I don't know
if any of that is true. And all I know
is and Jonas will attest to this because when you
when when you follow a strict diet, especially one with

(25:28):
a lot of protein, there's a lot of gas that
comes along with it. So Jonathan, I have the conversations
on Sunday nights. So that is the one pitfall of
all and look at it. It shows up one at
one end or the other. And uh, you know, like
you for us from got pants on? So that's right, Yeah, definitely. Well,
Well let's let's talk about Kim new Are you done
hitting on him? Rob By the way? Yeah, that's it

(25:49):
all done, all done. Uh Kim Newton, you're saying that
he's without a job. Here's a guy, one of NFL
MVP couple of years ago. He got off to a
great start in the first half of the season, he
was in the MVP talk. Then he's gotten hurt, that's
the reason. But supposedly he's healthy, he's okay now. But

(26:10):
you say he shouldn't sign with a NFL team right now.
Why is that? I mean, if I'm him, especially considering
I think his attitude and just his demeanor, I would
rather wait for more clarity after the draft. You know,
I think we're all we all are looking at Cincinnati
taking a quarterback, probably Joe Burrow, Miami taking a quarterback,

(26:33):
the Chargers probably taking a quarterback. So that's three and
it could be two of Joe Burrow, justin Herbert whoever.
And so if that's the case, you know, I'm not
sure what are the team's out there outside of New
England that you could really make a case that really
need a quarterback and they might not feel like they
really need one. They might want to roll with FID them.

(26:53):
So I think what I would want to do if
I was him, is I would want to try to
allow things to larify themselves over the course of this month.
And then after that be able to then understand the
situation that I'm going in under either I am going
and I have an understanding that I'm competing with the
guy who's an incumbent starter, who's it's been a little rocky,

(27:15):
and I can go in there and potentially win the job,
or you know, maybe there's a team that doesn't end
up taking a quarterback in that spot. You know, maybe
for whatever reason, maybe the Dolphins like Burrow, they like Tuh,
but the Chargers leap frog them and they trade up
to number two or number three and they take to
U and they don't really like that. Then Dolphins don't
like Herbert and they don't like Jordan Love, or at

(27:35):
least they don't take a first round quarterback. So then
maybe that opportunity opens up, whether they come around and say,
all right, we'd be willing to kick the tires on
Cam Newton for a year or two and see what
he's capable of. He can remake himself here in Miami.
So I would just want more clarity because he strikes
me as the type of guy rob and you guys
can tell me if I'm wrong. He's an alpha, like
he's not coming in that quarterback room to then be

(27:56):
told that he's a backup and he's gonna sit there
and try to be like a guy. Yeah. I think
it's a little bit similar to Eli Manning door. Eli
Manning just had no interest in wanting to be a backup.
He probably could get a job somewhere and he's just like,
I'm not into this. And Brady, you talked about this
at one point in your career. There was an opportunity
to stay a backup, but you wanted to go be

(28:17):
a starter, and what went into your decision. Yeah, So
when I was a free age, I just spent I
got traded to Denver back in twenty and ten, and
you didn't have an opportunity to play in twenty ten,
twenty eleven. But knew they were going to move on
from Tebow. But in knowing that, I also knew that
the coaching staff and everyone there in Denver felt like
they had a really good chance of getting Paydon. And
so I'm literally sitting in my hotel room in Kansas

(28:39):
City visiting with the Chiefs, and at the time I'm
looking at Romeo Cornell, who was my former head coach
and drafted me. There's familiarity there. Brian dave Ball was
the OC, so I do the offense, and on paper
we had a great roster. So I was sitting there
looking at that opportunity, thinking, you know, I can either
take the chance to potentially going as a backup and
maybe play, or I could try to then you know,

(29:01):
see what happens with Peyton, and I might not play
at all, But yeah, I could be with the same
team again for another couple of years. And so, you know,
my mindset was, I wanted to go play, and I
played every single game of my college career start, you know,
as a true freshman, started my fourth game from then on,
and at that point in time in my career, I
just wanted more of an opportunity. A lot of quarterbacks

(29:21):
fuel that way. There is a select few, though, who
don't mind not starting because they might get exposed. So
they don't mind playing a backup role, and they don't
mind making those contracts for ten or twelve years. And
Robert and Jonas, I think you guys know who I'm
talking about. Yeah, just hey, just hold a clipboard and
make a good make money for a ten or twelve years.

(29:42):
Chase Daniel Party a one your table, Daniel Party a one.
Your table is ready five starts and the guys made
like forty five million. It's unbelievable. I'm not gonna say who,
but I remember having a conversation with a backup quarterback
before a game and he had just signed with this team.
He ended up getting released by the team before and

(30:03):
so the team picked him up like a week later,
and then they were having a bad year, but they
needed a veteran guy, so they bring him in and
he's talking to me on the field and he says, man,
I think I'm just gonna try to go ask for
my release. I'm kind of sick. I think I might
have mono, And so he goes, I'm just gonna try
to ask for my release and trying to get out
of here. Because he goes, if they put me in
around this roster right now, with how we're planning, he goes,

(30:24):
this will be about. This will be it for me
in the league. He all won't go to play any
lost enough. Sure enough, he got released the following week
after that, ended up being out for like a week
or two, and ended up signing with another team that
he had been with early in his career. And I
saw him like four weeks later that season. It was
the most amazing thing I've ever heard of and now
getting And we're not trying to put you in a

(30:44):
bad spot, Brady Quinn, but and you don't have to
tell us who it is, but if you could give
us it was Stage Rolt. The most legendary thing I've
ever went it that is amazing. His name is Brady Quinn.
He's our guest here on the odd Couple of Fox
Sports Radio, of course, the former NFL quarterback and Fox
Sports football analysts speaking of another quarterback who's washed up.

(31:06):
Let's talk about Tom Brady going to say, no, this
is this is the thing that I was that interests
me to most. He had no takers. There were basically
just two teams. So that's why even when Brady was
trying to change the narrative saying that, you know, the
people are saying like, oh, boy, Brady put on a

(31:28):
sales pitch to come to Tampa Bay, like, oh, this
is the only place. There were only two offers. Supposedly
the Patriots didn't even make him an offer. And it
was Sandy the charges, I should say, who are opening
the new stadium? Who needs some juice to sell tickets.
But other than that, there were no takers. Is that
because a team didn't want to pay that extra year

(31:50):
to bad team tax? Or did they look at Tom
Brady as he'll be forty three and last year we
really saw a different Tom Brady. I know they were
twelve and four. There would have the worst eight no
team I'd ever seen. But Tom Brady didn't look the
same last year. No, he didn't look the same. I
think it's the combination of a few things what you mentioned.

(32:11):
He didn't look the same. He is forty two turning
forty three. You know, let's be real. There's times when
I'm watching games and then Rob obviously we differ on this.
I'm as big of a Tom Brady fans you'll find,
and I know you don't feel that way. So it
was hard for me to even admit a times watching
games watching him miss a throw or two and going, man, yeah,
this does look like it's getting closer to the end

(32:32):
than him being able to sustain this. But I do
think there were some teams that maybe were interested, but
at the same time, like if you were looking at
something like the Raiders, for example, So what would the
plan be like any team like the Raiders, who who
they have a quarterback who is you know, young enough
and more economical or just as economical. They're probably seeing

(32:54):
to themselves, why wouldn't we spend and continue to invest
in this guy for another a couple of years to
see where he can be as opposed to invest into
an older guy where we feel like he's already reached
his pinnacle of what his play is and so if
our team's not built out around him, that's not our
fastest way to win a Super Bowl. So I think
there was probably limited teams that really unlimited rosters that

(33:16):
could bring him on and give him what he was
looking for to And I just think it ends up
happening to be that the Tampa Bay Buckston's up being
one of those teams that has the roster and the
coaching staff that's willing to do it. But in all seriousness,
you have to ask yourself, like, what is the longest
term plan to a quarterback? They have to be still
thinking about the future at some point. But Brady, real quick,
what he got about thirty seconds? Look at the Colts.

(33:38):
They they could They went for Philip Rivers, who was
awful last year and through bad interceptions all over the place.
For one year, Let's give it a shot and see
what happens. So to me, the Colts not even building
the past relationship there, Rob, I thank their Oh Nick
Ryanni was with him in charging with the Chargers. Frank
Reich knows him well. Like there's a lot too that,

(34:00):
you know, when you have past experience without a system,
they would much feel they would feel much more comfortable
bringing in a guy like that who knows the system
than someone who doesn't. And I think that's really the
surprising thing. Well, I didn't think Tom was gonna leave
New England if he goes to Tampa and he's gotta
run bruce Arians system, which is completely different than anything
he's ever done. Yeah, my only thing is I get
the relationship part. But uh, it just seemed like he's

(34:23):
better than Philip Rivers. So I gotta put it this way.
Gotta put it this way. When Christoper starts out, who
do you go to? You're gonna go to Snocks right,
the familiarity, right, because that's that's what the Colts did
with Philip Rivers. Because I go and and Brady real quick,
we have Tom Brady's a highlight wheel from this past season.
We're strolling ten years by Tom, Brad, We're strolling ten

(34:46):
years by Tom. We're strolling ten years by Tom. And
that wasn't one game right there. So anyway, Hey Brady,
thank you, Thanks, We appreciate no doubt about it. It
was the dumb idea then, and it's even a dumber
idea now. We'll explain that. Next. It's The Eye Couple
with Jonas knocks in for Chris at Rob Parker on

(35:08):
Fox Sports Radio, Stick and Stay America. Be sure to
catch live editions of The Odd Couple with Chris Broussard
and Rob Parker weekdays at seven pm Eastern, four pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. It

(35:28):
Worship Wednesday, Rob Parker and Jonas knocks in for Chris Brussar.
Now we need Jonas and uh tomorrow, Rob g Am.

Dan Patrick. That is correct. The Our Couple moves to
mornings on Thursday Morrow, that's right. And then who's working

(35:50):
with me? And it's Chris working at night too, he is,
so the boat and then so we'll then we'll do
our regular show seven to ten pm Eastern Souble dip
in tomorrow in the company pond. About time you put
some hours in around this place. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
good god, you know me, I'm such a slacker speaking
about slacker and a money scrab uh this talk about

(36:12):
this uh one on one mano Imano Tiger and Phil Jonas.
You remember this before, right, Remember if my career ended
today and somebody said top five shows you ever did
in the top five would be working with you. Chris

(36:33):
was out and you and I were on the air,
I think it was. It was the day after Thanksgiving.
It was Black Friday, and you pointed out to me,
Rob that every Friday is Black Friday for me. Yeah, exactly.
So that's the only time you and I are both
experiencing a Black Friday together is the Friday after Thanksgiving.
And so they had this tournament on. It was Tiger

(36:54):
Verse Phil in Las Vegas, and it wasn't even really
planned the way we did it, but we decided to
make fun of the tournament while it was going on.
Because it went on way longer than anybody thought it
was supposed to and it was getting dark out and
it was a clown show, and it was every single segment.
We buried the tournament so much so, and we were
cutting such great wrestling promos that Ralph Irvin, our update anchor,

(37:19):
was coming into the studio legitimately pissed off because he's
a golf fan at what we were doing, making a
mockery of his sport. I know, it was so much fun.
I remember that very vividly, and he was turning red.
He had smoke coming out of his ear. It was
like ridiculous. And now this is you know, the match

(37:39):
two point zero featuring Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, and
now they want to add Brady and Manning to the mix,
you know, like okay, yeah, let's entice it a little
bit more, and here we go. I mean, you want
to have to talk about zero interest zero interests by
Tom Brady. Couldn't do that, No storm kind I mean,

(38:01):
I gotta be honest with you, I'm more intrigued at
this than the first one. Really, Yeah, because yeah, only
only because it's Brady and Manning. And also, I mean,
just based on the fact that we've got so little
sports happening right now that you're interested in it. If
this was up against a bunch of other things, I
mean I might check it out for one, you know,

(38:22):
one hole, and then I'm out. But it's just free
or pay per view. But it per view, of course.
But this is this is why I don't believe it'll
do well. And you know, I get it for charity,
which is great, but in these times, people got to
watch their money. Jonas, I'm serious. I get you want
the met entertainment, but I don't know. I mean, you

(38:43):
got to think about it. What's the landscape going to
look like? People are getting furloughed all. I have so
many friends who have hit me up furloughed you know,
don't have jobs right now. I mean, it is really
really bad. And I don't know. If you want to
put this and have the networks pay for it and
put it on CBS or NBC or Fox, that might
be different, you know what I mean. Let and let

(39:04):
the networks put the money up for charity and let
people watch it. What about that? Okay, I'd be totally
up for that. I under one condition. If it happens,
even if we're not on the air, can we at
least like YouTube US watching it together and mocking it.
Can we do that again? We could probably do that
and that would probably get bigger ratings. I think, I

(39:27):
just I get these things and I get it. It's
just like the NBA watching players play video games. Oh,
I'll count me in. That's what I want to see. Yeah,
I have no interest in watching guys play video games
that I don't understand. Like, I do not understand that
at all. And that's a good deal. It's crazy. It
is the Odd Couple Fox Sports Radio. On this Worship Wednesday,

(39:50):
Rob Parker, Chris Broussard, and we got a lot of
Jonas knocks in for Chris Boussard, and we're gonna talk
about the NFL and it's new playoff four me at

board on that. So it's coming up next Stick and stay.

All everybody else out there is thinking about doom and gloom.
There's one group of people in the world of sports
delivering the good news, Rob Parker, So we'll have that

(41:17):
for you here a couple of moments from now, my guy,
Rob Parker, thanks for letting me hang out with you
here on a Wednesday, that's right, a worship Wednesday, and
Jonas always pleasure to do some radio with you. And
for people you know, it's it's Cavin Fever. Setting in. Yeah,
how are you holding up? Because other than going to

(41:38):
get me a diet coke from McDonald's through the drive through,
I'm serious, that's my that's my little joy, my little
diet coke, and maybe the post office, the bank of
the grocery store. That's that's I'll make that little run
and the rest of the day, I'm in the house.
I mean, I can't go to the gym, so I
just work out at home and I can. I can
get enough of it done. You know, there's no no

(42:01):
equipment to use or anything like that. So I've got bands,
I've got you know, I did, you know sprints uphill
on the street earlier this morning, and just kind of
did all that. And it's it's fine. I look at
it like this. I think there's gonna be I know
it's in a bad time for a lot of people,
but I do feel like there's gonna be a lot
of good that comes out of this. I think people
are going to be more aware of their surroundings and

(42:21):
more cognizant to taking care of themselves, if not for themselves,
but for the people around them. And you know what
the other part, real quick, I don't mean I interrupt you.
But I think also, like um, about spending time with people,
even though we're spending like with just our family or
whoever was close about spending time with people, And once

(42:42):
it's taken away from you, you realize how important human
interaction was so caught up in the dating apps and
everything where you don't you know what I mean, where
you don't interact with people as much. I think this
tells you how much the human human beings need that. Yeah,
And I just think there's gonna be an appreciation for
what we had before because now, look, any any small

(43:04):
thought that you have. It's like I was thinking, Man,
you know my car is kind of dirty. Oh, I
can't go to wash because that's closed. Like that's like
it's just like the smallest things you think about now
just aren't an option. So it does make you appreciate that.
So for me, I just think, man, some people have
real issues and real problems. If the worst thing in
your life is that you have to stay at home

(43:25):
with your family, play board games, have a couple of
drinks and listen to Fox Sports Radio, there's a much
worse life out there, so no doubt about it. And
I'm sure for you. It's tough not looking on my
Instagram seeing me have lunch with twelve people out of time.
Let me just date that this is a true story.
I talked to Rob Parker about this because you had

(43:48):
a stretch to where you were out every single weekend.
You're either out of town or you had plans, and
you and I were talking, and there would be I
would see you on a Monday and you'd be exhausted,
and You're like, I just you know, I just need
a weekend just to be able to sleep or relax,
just hang out and kick back. I'm like, yamn, Like,

(44:10):
have you ever like actually spent time in your place
on a weekend? Like this is going to be the
most time you've ever spent at your own place. Over
the past couple of weeks, I've spent more time in
my apartment than I have the four years I've lived here.
I'm not even kidding in the last couple of weeks
because I'm just not that. You know me, I'm very
social and I'm not that kind of guy who just
sits around. So this is different from me. Yeah, it

(44:32):
really is. But all right, let's let's do some NFL stuff. Yeah,
I mean and look, it's you know, well, there's a
lot of bad news out there, and you know, you
feel for Wimbledon not being able to go on, the
Olympics soccer tournaments, the NBA, Major League Baseball, the NHL boxing,

(44:53):
mixed martial arts like a lot of these. I mean,
it's it's terrible the news out there. Events getting canceled,
fight postpone games are all gone, playoff spots are now disappearing.
But you know what, Santa Claus is here, Rob Parker.
Even in March and into April, Santa Claus better known
as the National Football League continuing to deliver the good

(45:13):
news as we will not only not only have an
NFL season, according to the NFL, but we will have
a playoff format that will add a team to each conference.
I love it, and I love that the NFL is
spreading good news and positivity when so much negativities around us.
As usual, another money grabbed by the National Football League,

(45:37):
another terrible idea, just based on greed. Please tell me
what was wrong with the NFL playoffs system? Absolutely nothing.
What they did is watered down the product again. Then
now with this new format, that means that the dreadful
Pittsburgh Steelers would have made the playoffs this past year

(45:59):
at eight eight, and they were bad. Why are we
doing this? Why are we allowing teams with barely winning
records to make the playoffs? It doesn't make sense. It
wasn't broken. There was no reason to add two teams,
one from each conference. It's it's all about how much

(46:19):
more money can we extract from the networks to line
our pockets. I get the money thing, but there's also
an integrity thing that matters in the game. If that's
the case, let everybody Jonas make the playoffs and have
a I don't know, I have a thirty two round,
sixteen round playoffs so that everybody plays. And we played

(46:42):
football for ten weeks after the season. I mean, when
is enough enough? I don't get it. Was this something
I missed, you know, and especially I mean coming from you.
You know, somebody who once demanded twenty minutes after the
special was over, that they give you the big Mac
for two dollars two blocks away from our studio two

(47:03):
months ago. I was in line. No, you were not
in line. You showed up there afterwards and then gave
the puppy dog face and they ended up giving you
the Big Mac Special. And you know how many people
probably came before you, but they weren't Rob Parker TV superstar,
so they didn't get the special like you do exactly
what you were doing. You weren't in mind you showed
up there after the fact, the NFL is you, Rob Parker,

(47:25):
That two dollar Big Mac tastes so good, of course
it does. Try get in one now, I mean, like,
imagine what it's gonna taste like when they when you
could actually go inside and get it again. Look, I
love this because I love the NFL. And if you're
telling me I can get an extra team into the postseason,

(47:45):
I'm all for it. I'm all four back to back
triple headers on wild Card weekend in the NFL, Saturday
three games in a row, Sunday three games in a row.
I absolutely love it. I love that only one team
is getting a bye week. I'm not in favor of
the seventeen game regular season, but I do like the
idea that you're giving another fan base, another organization hope

(48:09):
once they get to the postseason, and you're giving a
bunch of other fan bases hope in trying to get
to the postseason and I think it makes a lot
of games down the stretch that much more watchable when
you realize there are more options out there. There's more
of a percentage of you getting into the postseason than
there was before. I am all about hope, I'm all
about positivity. No doom and gloom out of this guy.

(48:30):
That's all for Rob Parker. Yeah, but there's nothing what
was wrong with the playoffs? The eight and eate Pittsburgh
Steelers deserve a playoff bit now a team and now
a team like green Bait at one thirteen games you'll
have to play instead of having to buy. You've diminished
what winning the division means now because only one team
get with the best record in the conference gets a buy.
Why is that so a team that's eight and eight

(48:53):
has to play the same as a team that was
thirteen and three. It doesn't make any sense. Then the rules, No,
those games, those are bad rules only for money. Jonas,
You're better than that. You know what you love. It's
like the guy who loves ice cream. You love ice
cream until you start working at the ice cream factory.
At some point it's too much. The NFL needs to

(49:17):
just pump the brakes. Stop with the seventeen game season. Again,
it was perfect. What do you need a seventeenth game for,
you know why, so that you don't spend it, so
that you make more money when you have the preseason games.
Those are local broadcasts, right Jonas. Those are not national
so they don't make that much money off of preseason
games on local television, but they make a boatload of

(49:40):
money if it's another regular season game for the networks
to pay for. That's what this is all about. See,
my whole thing is a I'm the opposite in that
I don't like the seventeenth game added to the regular season.
I don't like that. I don't like the idea of
having to these players having to play an extra game
after knowing what we know about the physical impact that

(50:02):
it has on the body and all of that that
goes along with it. I don't like the idea that
I do think there's definitely a greed factor. There is
this move for the playoffs about money. Of course, it's
about money, but it's also about opportunity. And if you
give another organization and the organizations that are also vying
for that final spot more of an opportunity in the

(50:22):
playoffs and it's a one game at a time playoff rund.
This isn't like the NBA where they do the ridiculous
seven game series to open up the first round, which
is ridiculous. They should go back to five. I can't
stand that they do seven games in the opening round
of the playoffs. In the NBA. You get a one
game playoff every single round of the NFL playoffs. So

(50:42):
who knows? We could have a seven B to two.
We could see a six B to three. Tennessee made
a run this year. We've seen teams make runs in
the past. I like this. It adds a new flare
to It adds another wrinkle. And did I mention back
to back tripleheaders in January on Saturday and Sunday for
wild Card weekend? Who the hell does want something like this? Yes,
because then you're gonna make again. Why don't you just

(51:04):
open it up like the NBA where more than half
the league sixteen of the thirty teams now make the playoffs.
Why don't the NFL go to that where you make
the regular season almost meaningless. That's the problem with the NBA.
You know, people talking about it's because they're competing with
the end No, it's because you rendered the regular season worthless.

(51:25):
We all know basically what team, for the most part,
are gonna make the playoffs, so the regular season doesn't matter.
It's like, I'll wait for the second season. Is that
what we won the NFL? No, And I don't think
that's gonna happen. I think the NBA, why not if
they can make more money. You just said, why not
have a quadruple header or uh quintuplet and the triple

(51:46):
I don't you can't even say it. You know it's
you sat like Floyd Maywether trying to stay pandemic. Yeah.
I don't know if you saw that video. Here. Here's
the thing, because the NFL model is most closely alike
to what the NCAA tournament is to where you're not

(52:07):
having a series. And for everybody that says, at least
in the NBA, the best team wins every year, okay,
that's fine because it's a series that's played out. Man.
The fact that the NBA playoffs go on two months,
come on, man, like, like we like, you got to
chop that down. And especially when you don't play back
to backs in the NFL, you go one game at
a time. So no matter what the situation is, you're

(52:31):
not going in there going, oh, we're down three games
to one, good luck catching up now we're down. I
think every single playoff game, you go in and you
may have an idea who you think is going to win,
but then you have surprises. There are not a lot
of people out there that thought Tennessee was going to
go in to beat New England. I Rob, you picked
New England to win that game. Chris Broussard picked the
Titans to beat the Patriots in Foxborough, and Chris Broussard

(52:53):
was right, and you, I'm just saying, I'm just saying
that's the information I was handed before the show. You
got faulty of information. I'm just saying you said Tom
Brady was gonna light up for Able. Yeah, yeah, Tom Brady,
the wash kid. I just I think because it's a
one game, one and done scenario, it's not gonna have
the same fatigue effect that the NBA does. And I

(53:16):
don't think it's going to impact the regular season negatively,
I really don't. I do if you continue to add
teams and start where my biggest thing is letting in
teams that don't deserve it. They don't deserve it. And
that's what you set up now, is that instead of
having to fight for those games at the end, you
could be Pittsburgh, lose three of your last four or

(53:36):
whatever it was, and make the playoffs. That's not a
team that should be going into the playoffs, and they
shouldn't have the right to upset anybody or have a
chance to even win the Super Bowl because they haven't
played well enough to earn that right. So make it worth,
make it worth to make the regular season matter. Okay,
Rob Parker, you're one of the great baseball historians, one

(53:58):
of the great baseball report orders that we have in
this country. It's why you're a Hall of Fame voter,
and you've forgotten more about baseball than most people know.
When Baseball instead of going with just the two divisional
winners and then the World Series, when they expanded and
went to the wildcard, what was your thought initially when

(54:18):
that happened. I didn't like it, you know, I didn't
like it initially. I like it now and I like
where it is. Only from the standpoint when they added
the other team, those two teams have to play each other,
so that only one wild card can advance. And even
though it's a one game playoff, which is different from baseball,
you know that normally doesn't why anybody can win one game,

(54:40):
you know, using a series. So it makes for a
lot of intrigue or whatever. They did it right. If
baseball would go past this and do more, then I
would really have a problem if they get to like
wanting to have six team playoff teams or whatever. I'm
good at ten. I'm good because the two wild card
teams play just for one them to get in. Yeah,

(55:01):
and look, I was a traditionalist like you. I didn't
like it initially, and then I started watching it and
I thought, well, this is awesome because that wild card
game has seen some of the best finishes that we've
seen in baseball over the past several years since it
was introduced. So I actually I was wrong. I thought
adding that element to the baseball playoffs would have a

(55:21):
negative effect, and it's done the complete opposite. I love it.
I love it. I think, well, let's let's see what
other people think. If the listeners are into this. Do
you love this new NFL playoff format or no? Do
you look at it as I do? Was just more
agreed by the NFL adding teams that don't really deserve
to be in the playoffs eight seven seven ninety nine

(55:44):
off foxes the telephone number eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three
six nine. An extra team each conference in the National
Football League and expanded playoff format is a good thing
or a bad thing. We'll find out next here from
you on Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch live

(56:05):
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 iHeartRadio app. He's Rob Parker.
I'm Jonas Knox in for Chris Broussard here on Fox
Sports Radio. You can listen to the show on the
iHeartRadio app. Coming up in we'll call ten minutes from

(56:28):
now here on Fox Sports Radio. It is the most
brutally honest discussion about the quarantine that everybody listening, including
you right now, can relate to the most brutally honest
discussion about the quarantine. So don't miss that. That's coming
up ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.

(56:49):
Rob Parker, we were having the discussion about the NBA deciding,
you know what, man, six teams in each conference just
wasn't enough. We need to add an extra team, which
I think is good news. Finally somebody spreading some good
news during this this awful stretch that we've been in
over the past couple of weeks with everything else going
on in the world. I'm thrilled about it. You, sir,

(57:10):
are absolutely not not at all. I just can't, uh,
you know, don't don't what is it? If it ain't broke,
don't fix it. Sometimes I just think like it's it's
the money. It's the money that they just cannot help themselves.
And that's the part that I hate. I just don't
want it to be watered down where teams shouldn't be
making the playoffs that aren't good enough. Last year without

(57:31):
Ben Roethlisberger and where that team, would you think the
Steelers should have made the playoffs? I well, if this
playoff format, and this is how I'm going to turn
you to where you you absolutely would wanted the Steelers
to make the playoffs last year in this format. If
it was around last year, to open up the first
round of wildcard weekend, you'd have Patrick Mahomes versus Duck

(57:52):
Hodges of the Steelers. You're telling about the Rogers. Okay,
can we say that on the air. You're you're telling
me you don't want to see you don't want to
see Duck Hodges verus Patrick Mahomes, come on, Rob Parker
and there you go. See I'm the winner on this one.
But let's see what other people are thinking. Jonahs eight
seven seven ninety nine, Fox, Charles Buck Rogers in the

(58:16):
twenty fifth century. Paul and DC, you're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What you got, Paul Day,
I agree with you. Um adding adding another team to
the to the NFL, what is it down? Uh, it's
good as it is. On the baseball side, probably some
of the most exciting baseball in the last thirty years

(58:38):
was that head to head playoff. All Right, So you're
you're you don't want to see the NFL add another team.
He's with me, Paul, he is. But but but you
do like the wild card. Oh, the rold card is
the best. Wald card is the best thing in the
last thirty years. Yeah, because they added that, they added
that game, you know that to the playoff format. I

(58:58):
get that one. But I'm just saying I don't want
teams that don't deserve it when you start letting too
many in and now it's uh, just just two more
teams that we didn't need. The playoffs were fine? Jay
in Massachusetts, you're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What you got? Jay? Yeah? How are you doing? Rough?
Who didn't want to say? I agree with you and

(59:20):
I disagree with you because last year there were some
teams that should have made it to the playoffs that
didn't make it to the playoffs. I'm a die hide
stealer fan. We did not belong in the playoffs. I
agree with you on that. Yeah, they weren't good enough
last year. If we would have made it to the playoffs,
I don't even know if I would have watched it. Wow,
you knew, you knew it would have been I'm a

(59:42):
die hide stealer fan. How are you a stealer fan
in Massachusetts? How'd that happen? That's where I'm from, New Bedford, Massachusetts.
And I can hear your accent. That's what I'm saying.
You don't sound like you're from Pittsburgh. We we we
are a bunch of staateree haters around here that you
wouldn't believe I need to come to your town. Yeah,

(01:00:04):
you got you got room. You got room during the
quarantine for Rob Parker. That's place, that's right, was your
room at the end for me. Thanks, Jay, appreciate it.
What about Michael and Cincinnati one of my old stopping grounds.
You're in the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's going on? Focus?
Going on? Journal? What's happening now? Much? Man? Look, you know,

(01:00:26):
I try to hug agree with Rob on this. I mean,
it is a money grad, you know, And I also think,
you know, this is also a big potential of you know,
more players getting hurt, you know, because this year you
have the extended playoffs, and I believe next year you'll
have the eighteen game seventeen. That's brutal, you know, And

(01:00:49):
you know, I don't want to see, you know, an
eight and eighteen get into the playoffs. Like, you know,
it's just I feel like, you know, the playoffs is
just right the way it is right now where you're
calling from, Waregon, Cincinnati, Cinati. Okay, what the hell you
know about the playoffs? They went to the playoffs? I mean,

(01:01:11):
come on, that's like that's like me talking talking to
Lebron about dunking a basketball. Get out of here. Wait
a minute. Cincinnati was good. It's just that they lost
their last seven playoff games, right, that's true. Yeah, that's
true enough. But but the next thing, you know, the
NFL will will h uh you know, update the playoff
format again and it'll be uh, fourteen teams plus the Bengals. No,

(01:01:36):
no matter what the record is. That Yeah, it's an
all inclusive package. Yes, Eric in Seattle, you're the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. They're going, guys doing great?
How are you love the show? Thank you? I just
want to say that it's terrible. They just wanted it down.
It's absolutely ridiculous. They're gonna let an eight and eighteen,

(01:01:56):
maybe even a seven to nineteen get in there, and uh,
it's just I don't like it at all. Agree with you, Rob, Yeah,
let's leave it. Let's make you have to earn a
playoff spot, all right? Yes? And and Rob, my boys
got something to say? Oh No, one, one, two, three,
bold goalie Seattle. Yes, nice, there you go. I love it.

(01:02:20):
You know that, raising raising fans and enemy territory. No
Niners for life. Man, that's that's good pairenting right there.
So what that, Eric? I admire that, My man, there
you go raise your boys, right. How about Ryan in
North Dakota, you're in the eye couple of Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,
I'm just falling up on that. I guess it's fall
from that last color and say that. You know you

(01:02:41):
mentioned has seven and nine team getting in there. My
my suggestion is that having a seventh team isn't all
that bad. But maybe if the if the seventh team
in the AFC has a losing record, then the ninth,
the eighth team the NFC gets to go instead and
jump conferences and see what kind of hell they can
raise over there. Yeah that might be a lot, I
hear you, But you never know. But but Ryan, you know, like,
let's make the regular season matter, and let's not just

(01:03:02):
let anybody in just to collect another game. Et telling
me it's one extra team, it's one extra team in
each conference. Yes, it's not gonna play, it's not gonna
make the regular season not mat all right, So, so
what we've established here, Rob Parker, Jonas Knox here on
Fox Sports Radio in for Chris Brussard here on the
Odd Couple, m Rob Parker is only going to watch

(01:03:23):
two of the three wild Card games on Saturday and
Sunday as a protest to the extra game being added.
All Right, is that what you're promising us here in
Janas say, I'm just telling you I don't like it.
All right, Well, next time they throw you thirteen instead
of twelve, all flat wings, I want you to take
it back. Tell him to take it back because you
think it's too many wings. Just take it back. Well,
I'll eat it and then I'll give him the bold

(01:03:46):

(01:04:27):
here fifteen minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio,
Rob Parker, it's time for a little something you guys
do on the show here, and it's called this. Ain't
Nobody's netill been a bombshop. You know that. Ain't nobody,
isn't it? You will talk about whoever, whatever, whatever you
want to in the bots. No, it's shop talk, Yes, sir,
it is shop Talk the Wednesday edition. We do this

(01:04:48):
every single day during the quarantine. We discuss something that
happened outside of the world of sports, because quite frankly,
there's nothing happening in the world of sports, so we
got to fill time. Today's topic courtesy of one Rob Parker,
the very single Parker Ladies, if you're interested, Yes, I
was married and just didn't work out for me anyway.

(01:05:08):
Rob Parker sent a nice text message in the group
chat today. This is courtesy of Power one oh five
one Radio. According to a study, many couples are finding
out that they don't actually like each other as much
as they thought they did during quarantine. Apparently, too much
time together is not a good thing. So here's the question.

(01:05:29):
Not everybody here is married or with somebody. Rob Parker,
we said, is single. So we want to know how
has your love life changed as a result of the
coronavirus quarantine? Rob Parker? For me, you know, as a
single guy, you know that pillow and not much going on.
Anybody knew you can't hang out with anybody. It gets

(01:05:50):
out brutal to be single. I'm gonna do is tell
you that I'm not talking to my hands right now.
I was gonna say it right rab if you're working
on your forearms, people like, oh, it's a change. Well, Jonas,
you're engaged. Yeah, you guys don't live together, so what
is it? You know what has the quarantine done for you? Guys? Yeah,

(01:06:12):
we're fine. We figure it out. You know, there's a
technology is an amazing thing. Rob Parker and oh, let's
go to the video tape. Let's you know, it's like
the Ruder film. You know, it really solved a lot
of problems once you once you started watching. So yeah,
you just you just deal with it. Like I said earlier,
it's not ideal for anybody right now. But but to

(01:06:33):
sit around and complain about it isn't going to help
it do anybody any good. So you just make the
most of it. But I believe this because a lot
of people, and I think a lot of people also
have a hard time. There's so many distractions that you
don't actually spend that much time with people. And so
when you do have this amount of time, nobody's going

(01:06:53):
to work eight hours during the day and maybe they're
doing work, you know, on the internet or whatever, but
they're around even when they even when they do go
out there on their phones, right, Like, they don't really
get distracting themselves. You're right, And so now when you're
there's nobody else to kind of interrupt and make you,
uh not not remember that you really don't like this

(01:07:15):
proach and there might be some stuff that you like,
but not at all. Rob, you're the married man in
the group. What about you? Well, as you know, I
also have a newborn daughter. So there hasn't been what
romance at all in the Garrett household for several months. Guys.
I thought you guys were working on number two. Y'all
should have a baby. Oh hell no, Rob, don't put
that even on me right now, don't you do that? No? No,

(01:07:36):
But I mean, if it's hard enough because you're trying
to keep up with a new Borne. That's hard. But
it's even worse with all this going on because now
as soon as I walk in the door and my
wife sees me and sprays me with with lysol because
she says, you don't need to bring germs in because
she's working at home, so she's, you know, really quarantine.
So as soon as I'm walking the door, she said, hey,
you're giving your backpackage, you'll spray it with the lysol.
I mean, does that now? Does that drown out your cologne?

(01:07:57):
Like that? Would that would piss me off because I
you know, I take pride in my If I'm getting
sprayed with like windex and all of a sudden that
it's going to ruin my smell like that would bother
me a lot. I've have a problem with that. That
might be that might be grounds for divorce right there. Well, Alex,
it's hard to get bothered when you're not going anywhere afterwards, No, right,
fair problem where you go when you can't go nowhere? Yeah,
that's true, Alex. What about you? You're another bachelor, single guy,

(01:08:20):
Rob Parker. You know, since I am a single man
and I do radio with one of the hottest radio
shows in the country, and National Network and go to
the gym, keep myself healthy, eat. Well, you know, I'm
an eligible bachelor. That's why you're talking about the Jason
Smith show with Mike car That was definitely the one
I was talking about there. Rob Let me let that
breathe for a sec. And the thing is that's funny, Rob,

(01:08:42):
is that most of my interactions with people is usually
at the gym. So since that's been cut back, there
hasn't been really new people in my life. But I
kind of feel like personally, I don't know about you guys,
but since this has been more of a social distancing
thing now, it seems like more of a reason for
people to stay away from one another to really try
to interact with other people they don't know. Now, it's interesting, Um,

(01:09:03):
I actually think that jims are going to suffer after this, Yes,
because I think people are going to figure out that
a lot of the stuff that they thought they needed
the gym do from home. Yeah, they can. They can
do from home. It's more affordable. And I also think
there's less threat of spreading germs. Gyms are filthy. I
mean I've seen guys. I've seen guys dry off their

(01:09:25):
downstairs bathroom dry off their crotch using the hand dryer
in a bathroom before. I've seen it multiple times, dude, Jonas,
I've seen it word of the older cats. After they're
done showering, they'll sit and button naked on the benches
and then guys will come in after them and put
their phones down in the same place. Rob's doing that
right now. I mean, what do you think it's doing. Yeah,
it's just it. I mean, it's just it's atrocious attard anybody. Well, Jonas,

(01:09:51):
let me one up you. As you know, we're doing
a national radio show. But Alex thinks that's no excuse
not to get a quick pump in. Yes, So during
commercial breaks we're doing some workouts. We're getting eyes lathered up,
and As still pushing all the buttons everything. Remember, what
you lift in the gym, most of the time is
less than what you would lift by doing body weights.
You actually end up getting stronger, You get wiry strong.
It's good. It's good as sweating. You're not wrong. It'll

(01:10:13):
be interesting to see what comes out of this. Would
be a baby boom, like the like uh, the baby boomers,
you know, like that group of people who were born
after the war or will it be um? Will it
not be the case? What do you think? Do you
think it's fifty percent? Now? Could it go anyhow? Absolutely?

(01:10:34):
Let me let me tell you this. Uh, this is
the most faithful a lot of athletes have been in
a long time. Let's just be honest here I'm talking
about and you know what, they can't go out. Where
are you going? You can't go anywhere? Exactly? Oh man,
you know how many side chicks are probably struggling right now.
They can't pay the rent. I mean, like all your

(01:10:55):
all your friends at Magic City in Atlanta. I mean,
what are they gonna do a little virtual Hey, Jonas,
we dispelled we we squashed that myth last week on
the show. There's bouber eats. Now there's virtual lap dancing,
there's drive through lap dancing. It's a whole new frontier
in the exotic industry. I mean, what's the point? And
by the way, who even goes to those places with

(01:11:16):
anything other than mess shorts on? Anyways? You know what
I mean? Rookies, Jonas, rookies exactly. And Jonas, you never
thought you could get through all the porn on the internet.

how's everything are they? What's up? Guys? What's happening, Eddie?
I'm good, I'll do it. We're good man. It's just
the same same everywhere. You know, we're quarantined. Um, everybody's
sort of sort of stuck inside. Are you dealing with
everything okay? Or every everything good on your end? Yeah,

(01:13:25):
everything's good, man. We've got We've been spending more family
time to get my son, you know, because of the pandemic,
had to leave his doing so for the first time
since I want to say, last summer. You know, all
of us are in the same roof and we're just
spending time together and just you know, enjoying that time.

(01:13:47):
We just had a story that we read that some couples,
you know, like everybody's not always used to everybody being
together and a special especially couples, you know, who have
busy lives and schedule and you know, and don't spend
that much time around each other. And it's causing like
a riff and causing people to think about getting divorced

(01:14:07):
because now it's spending so much time around each other.
How are you guys? Are you guys cool like just
spending as much time together or can it be annoying? Sometimes? No? Actually,
you know that's she's my best friend, care my best friend.
So okay, it's easy when it's somebody that you can
talk to, we can hang out with, you could laugh.
A lot of people don't have relationships like that. And

(01:14:28):
you know, I was married before, and that was how
my relationship was before. It wasn't I couldn't share everything
with my wife, right, you know, it could, it could
be an issue. That's not the case now. I made
sure that when when I got into this relationship that hey,
this is how we're gonna be getting down and if
we're gonna be sharing this bed together, sharing this house together,

(01:14:49):
sharing everything, we gotta be in a certain we gotta
be a certain way with each other. We gotta be
able to talk about whatever, and we gotta be secure
in our own skin and secure with one another. And
I think that's a that's the most important thing is
and that's where we've been at though. I mean we
haven't had a problem. Actually we actually are loving it
a little bit more. You know, it's getting a little
bit more time. You feel me. No that Hey, Eddie, Hey,

(01:15:10):
you got it. You got it down. I mean, seriously,
that's the right attitude to have. And a lot of people,
you're right, don't have that, and they're married and kids
and all the way in and they don't feel like
there's somebody that they could talk to. And I think
that's a tough spot to be solute to. Man, definitely,
thank you appreciate it. Hey, Bob. By the way, man,

(01:15:31):
I listened to to the thing you sent me. Man,
that was great, Man, that was a really good It
was my old to opening day baseball. Eddie's a big
baseball fan and we talked baseball all the time. Sometimes
during games we text each other. So I knew you
would appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought
to you was about to cry for a second. Man, No,

(01:15:51):
I was bummed out that there was no Opening Day. Man,
I was not happy. He is Eddie House, NBA champion. Uh.
Fox Radio NBA analysts joining us here on Fox Sports Radio,
Jonas knocks in for Chris Brussard alongside Rob Parker. This
is the odd couple here on FSR. Hey, Eddie, how
optimistic are you We're gonna have an NBA season? Uh?

(01:16:13):
You know what? Right now? That that's like the furthest
thing from my mind. You know, I'm more worried about
getting this thing under control for people who are who
have lost their lives and people who are fighting for
their lives and just trying to get healthy in general,
and for the whole country, you know, to get through this. Um.
You know, I think basketball, as much as we enjoy

(01:16:34):
the entertainment of it, we remember that entertainment. Baseball is
entertained for all those sports, that's just entertainment. The real
thing is people are losing their lives out here, and
I think the most important thing is to let's get
at under control. I know we're in the sports business,
but for me, I'm also in the human business, as
far as you know, living and and and one another

(01:16:55):
being being together, and I think that's the most important thing.
So I kind of just put it on the back burner.
And I think that's one of the things that's helped
me as well at home is as much as I
missed it the first couple of weeks, you know, driving
me crazy, I was able to settle in and you
were able to get to, like I'm saying, to spend
a lot of time with my kids and talk with
them about different things that I possibly would have been

(01:17:15):
watching the game and would have missed those moments. So
you know, it's almost blessing in disguise with this as
far as me being able to spend as much time
as I've been able to spend with my family and
my boys have been able to talk to them about
a whole lot of different things and not just about
sports all the time. We've had opportunities to just sit
down and talk about life, talk about school because I'm

(01:17:36):
in school and I'm just showing them like, hey, man,
it doesn't matter. This is the most important thing that
you have to take of it your hat, what do
it for? Wholeheartedly? No, No, it's a reset in life
for a lot. It really is where we are, Eddie,
And I guess I also understand I've heard all this
crazy stuff. The craziest thing I've heard is the NBA

(01:17:58):
should be afraid of the NFL and you started season
on Christmas Day because you can't compete with the NFL.
And I just don't understand, Like, there's nothing wrong with
the NBA the way it's laid out. When it starts,
there's plenty of viewers for everybody, you know, if you
want to, If you want to concentrate on the NBA
in December, that's fine, But people show up to games

(01:18:21):
in October and November two. I don't get why people
want to start the NBA season on Christmas and end
in the summer. Are you with this change? If they
were to do this, I'm you know, what changes in
it indible? Right? And if it's something that you want
to experiment with and find out that it doesn't work,

(01:18:42):
that cool. But you might find out that it does work.
To me, it doesn't make any difference. I think that
to say that the NBA scared of the NFL, I
think that's crazy. I think that everybody knows the NFL
is like top priority in America, be just because of
the anticipation from game to game, you have one a
week opposed to right, you know, you might have three

(01:19:02):
games a week for basketball, and that's the only difference.
But I know, I've never seen um basketball players trying
to be football players, but I see a lot of
football players trying to be basketball players. So I don't
think the NBA's ever scared of of the NFL or
the perception that the NFL has. I think the thing
is that they're just looking for different ways to draw

(01:19:25):
more viewers. Um, you know, and starting in Christmas Day.
Is that something that that that possibly that can happen. Yeah,
that is that if you want to run an experience,
run it and if you know it works, it worked.
If it doesn't, then you'll go back to the norm.
But the one thing I don't want to see, Hey, Eddie,
go ahead, Eddie. We're up against it man. We apologize

(01:19:46):
for that that we're up against the clock. He's Eddie Champion,
Eddie House NBA Champion. We're Rob Parker. Jonah knocks next

(01:20:54):
you're making out after two hours with me? You are right,
I'm good. I'm just still reeling from you trying to
dive into Eddie House's relationship and find out whether or
not they're still happily married. And you know how things are,
you know, people spend around. It was good though. He
has a good grasp on it. Usually once you've been married,

(01:21:14):
you know, you kind of get a feel for it.
Maybe I'm not there yet but you know, get a
grasp on what makes a successful relationship. A lot of
people I have friends who score to me that they
would never get married again got married and have a
very good, nice relationship and a long marriage. So I'm
happy for that. I mean, yeah, just you know, between

(01:21:35):
that and uh, you know, asking Brady Quinn if he's
ever had a pimple, I just I think this is
some of your finer interviews ever. You know, this as
good as it gets, you know, I'm just my Wendy Williams. Now.
I don't know. I mean, I'm just trying to figure
out a carve out a niche in this new world
we're in. But what are you? What are you watching?
There's no sports, so what are you watching? You can't

(01:21:57):
go to games. I'm not watching anything, you know what.
I'm watching the new Forensic Files too. They have new
shows on, so I'm watching that. I'm watching reruns of Maude.
I'm watching reruns of t J. Hooker. Uh. Literally, my life,
my life is bad. Sorry, I'm telling you guys, that's

(01:22:19):
what I'm watching. I was gonna say that there's usually
uh been a lot of t J. Hooker in your
life the past few months I went to a strip club,
not considered the same unbelievable. But one thing that I
will never do it, and one thing that I think
is a bad thing that's happened recently, Jonas, is the

(01:22:42):
way Cam Newton has been has been treated in the NFL,
and I just I think it's disgraceful that a guy
who was the NFL MVP at one point, not not
twenty years ago, but recently, who a couple of years
ago was off to such a great start he was
given in that MVP conversation. Again, unfortunately it's the guy

(01:23:05):
who gave his all for his team, the Panthers, and
wind up getting hurt. And he's back, he's healthy, and
there's no interest in Cam Newton. All these other jobs
are open. People are looking for quarterbacks. The Bears aren't
gonna waste this great defense. They don't want to do anything.
I just do not understand. And you might say, uh, yeah,

(01:23:29):
Cam hasn't been as great as he was in the past,
and that's fair, but he also wasn't healthy and was
trying to go out there and play. I think Jonas,
you remember there was at the end of the season
when they finally admitted that he was hurt. Do you
remember that game? It was a national game. He couldn't
make the throws. Do you remember that. Yeah, he was
so hurt and he was out there and you were like,

(01:23:54):
this guy can't make a ten yard pass. He can't
throw the football. And finally they took him out of
his misery and we're like, Okay, come on out. You
can't do this. You can't tough it out when you
have an injury. And since then, and you could say
about the crazy clothes and the hair and all the
other stuff, none of that bothers me whatsoever. It's about

(01:24:16):
what you do on the field and your ability. And
there are some guys who have jobs right now that
Cam Newton would be a better chance for a team
to make the playoffs or have a chance to make
a run. This is a guy who went to the
Super Bowl. Yeah, And I think part of the issue
with Cam Newton and I don't think it's right. And

(01:24:38):
I defended him after it happened. I think people still
have not forgiven him for not diving on the loose
ball in the Super Bowl and also for walking out
on the press conference after the Super Bowl, both mistakes,
no doubt I'm with you, but here's what I would say, though, Look,
he didn't dive for the ball. I get it, it

(01:24:59):
looks bad, but let's not all of a sudden pretend
that Cam Newton's not willing to put his body on
the line and sacrifice himself. I mean, come on, I
mean the guy came back after flipping his truck and
that a broken back. Okay. I think people forget that,
along with all the other physical plays and runs that
he's made throughout the course of his career. So I
don't buy that at all. For the second. In the moment,

(01:25:20):
it looked like he wasn't willing to put his body
on the line. But I've got a lot more moments
of when he was willing to put his body on
the line, So I think that's crap. The other one
I defend him on you walk out of a press
conference afterwards. Look, he had a bad day. It's the
biggest game of his life. He's got a bunch of
microphones shoved in his face afterwards, he got frustrated and

(01:25:41):
he walked out. If anything, he's been very receptive to
doing media and getting his name out there and talking.
He had a bad day. It was a bad look.
That's fine. I think people haven't forgiven him for it.
I think those were that was the biggest moment in
his career, and that's the only thing people want to
latch onto, and I think it's lazy. I don't think
they take into account how good Cam Newton has been

(01:26:04):
throughout the course of his career. I'll ask you this.
I mean, Andrew Luck was a number one overall pick,
and so was Cam Newton. Who's had a better career
Cam Newton. Newton to the super Bowl now, and it's
not even close yet. Andrew Luck walks out on his
team a week before the season and it's like hands

(01:26:25):
across America. Everybody defending Andrew Luck and the team gave
him his money. Yeah, it is hold it from it.
So I think I think I think he's being wronged.
I think I think the the the expectation that or
the the understanding that Cam Newton's only this one type
of player and and he's he's difficult to be around.

(01:26:46):
I've never heard of any off field issues with Cam
Newton outside of what happened in college with the laptop
and whatever that was about. Have you heard and maybe
maybe wearing a scarf looking like Anthrew Maima. Maybe I'll
hold that one, okay, Like that's the thing. I don't care, Like,
who cares what some guy wars? Ryan Fitzpatrick walks out
and he's got chest hair that looks that looks like

(01:27:07):
he's got a two pay on his sternum. And that's okay,
and it's funny. But if it's if it's Cam Newton
who's wearing a scarf or he's wearing sunglasses, everybody's got
an issue with it. It feels like he's Russell Westbrook
in the NFL, and NFL people don't know how to
handle that, Like they don't know how to handle a
guy who does his own thing is and is willing

(01:27:31):
to take a risk with his fashion and whatnot and
just and does it a different way. And it feels
like people still haven't wrapped their arms around that kind
of type of personality in the NFL. And I think
it's too bad. And you know the Bears, okay, you
know the Bears backwards in front wards. They got a
great defense that you don't want to football team you're
talking about, right, Yeah, yeah, it's good. Take a chair.

(01:27:52):
They got a defense you don't want to waste him.
I right, Jonas, Yeah, it's you're there's a window there, okay.
And what they did is when you have two quarterbacks,
it's like having two girlfriends. That means neither one is
any good. That's why you got two. And that's the point. Well,
you know I got two of them, but not together.

(01:28:13):
Here's the one thing though, I'll defend the Bears in
this regard whether you think Nick Foles is better than
Cam Newton. I mean, look, people can point to the
Super Bowl. I don't think Nick Foles is the super
Bowl quarterback he was even close to. I think people
forget about what he did the year after in the playoffs.
He wasn't all that great, but he had a good
three game run. There was familiarity with the offense, and

(01:28:37):
so they felt like in an off season where you're
not going to have a lot of reps to try
and learn an offense and understand it, it made more
sense to bring in a guy like Nick Foles than
it did a guy like Cam Newton. So I understand
where they're coming from in that regard. But now if
you're Cam Newton, I mean you're looking around, like why
wouldn't the Chargers at least kick the tires on Cam Newton?

(01:29:01):
Like like why wouldn't the Chargers at least say you
know what? Like like why not? Because it's going to
do two things. One, there's gonna be a lot more
people that are gonna be willing to show up to
a giant stadium that you won't be able to fill
to see Cam Newton in. There would be Tyrod Taylor.
And also Cam Newton looks like a motivated dude right now.
He looks like a guy who's pissed off that there's

(01:29:24):
a narrative out there that he has damaged goods and
he's no longer able to compete at a high level
in the NFL. And I'm willing to take a chance
on a number one pick who somebody may have walked
away from too soon because they were real rebuilding an organization,
as opposed to a journeyman like Tyrod Taylor who had
an opportunity to be the guy and couldn't hold on

(01:29:46):
to it. His own coach benched him for a road
game in LA for Nathan Peterman. Clearly that coach thought
there was something that he had seen that showed him
Nathan Peterman had more of an upside than Tyrod Taylor,
and he was then benched mid game for Baker Mayfield.

(01:30:08):
Are we gonna sit here and pretend that Tyrod Taylor
is a better quarterback than Cam Newton? Right, It's preposterous.
It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. And that's the point is
these teams and I don't get it. Tyrod Taylor is
a stop gap measure. They like him because he doesn't
turn the football over Jonas. I get that, but you're
not gonna win anything. You have a guy here if

(01:30:30):
he's healthy, which they say he is, and I'm gonna
go by that, right, what what what would be the downpoint?
The downfall of trying to get a guy who was
a who was a league MVP, who's not old? What
is he gonna be? Thirty one? Is that thirty one?
That's not old? But but the Colts couldn't wait to

(01:30:53):
go get Philip Rivers. Did you watch Philip Rivers last year?
He was so bad that even the charges couldn't bring
him back. Another just couldn't do it. It's just it's
all about this, and this is what a lot of
people have had an issue with in the NFL, it's
all about who you know. I mean, it's the old
boy network and it happens in coaching, assistant coaching, quarterback hires.

(01:31:15):
I get that, I get a system and all that,
But you know what I like better than the system,
guys who can play whatever happened to that. I'll make
it work. You remember, I'm gonna tell you the greatest
coaching job ever saw was pat Riley. Pat Riley came
from the from the Lakers and the showtime right where

(01:31:36):
he threw the ball out and they run up and
down the court and just score. Then he took the
job in New York with the Nicks, who didn't have
that talent, and do you remember, So sometimes you have
to alter what you're doing to make it work. Those
are the best coaches, not the coaches who just gotta
get somebody who fits what they're doing. Make it work

(01:31:57):
with Cam. I mean, I'm looking around, and I mean
I just think if I were Cam new if Cam
Newton got with a really bright, offensive mind, somebody that
could get the most out of his ability, even if
he went in there as a backup, like whether it
be San Francisco with Kyle Shanahan or even in New

(01:32:17):
Orleans to be Drew Brees' backup with Sean Payton. Drew
Brees who had an injury last year. Drew Brees, who
has shown times that he fatigues down the stretch and
is in the later stages of his career. I don't
think we've seen the last of Cam Newton. I just
wonder whether or not he's got enough of an ego
or the lack of an ego to be able to
swallow his pride and say, you know what, I might

(01:32:38):
have to go be a backup. But if that's what
it takes to get to another opportunity to play, then
I'm willing to do it. Yeah. I mean it's interesting.
It would be a hard pill of swallow. And I know,
with the accolades and the stuff that he's put up,
do you know this is not like thirty five and
you're hoping to stick around for a few more years.

(01:32:59):
I've thought about this. What if Cam Newton realizes there's
no opportunities out there? You're telling me Monday Night Football
wouldn't hire him as a broadcaster for their booth, not
for twenty million dollars like they offered the Manning paid Manning.
But but if that was there, if you were Cam
Newton and you're looking around, and it's like, okay, I
can either go be a backup to Gardner Minshew at

(01:33:20):
at eight nine million dollars, or I can go be
the Monday night in the Monday Night football booth alongside
Joe Tessa Tour and possibly Booker McFarlane, and I'm gonna
get ten million dollars a year, the same as being
a backup. Why wouldn't you just go to Monday Night football?
But wait waiting around for I get it, But you know,
players or players they want to play. It's the same
reason that these coaches who take these TV gigs, they

(01:33:43):
just can't wait to get back to coaching, even though
they had a nice, comfortable life. Why why in the world,
right did did um I just forgot his name from
the Raiders? John Gordon? John grew not listen John? Why
did he give that sweet gig up at ESPN because
he's a coach at heart, even though they did payments
on the money. I'm just saying, all right, why can't

(01:34:04):
Cam Newton get a snippack as an NFL quarterback? Right now?
We'll continue that conversation with you. It's the Odd Couple.

seven ninety nine on Fox and the Cam Newton thing
is strange. Nobody interested in a former NFL MVP, A

(01:35:35):
guy scored forty five touchdowns that year, Jonas, you remember
thirty five in the air and ten on the ground. Yep.
But also they were a very unlikable team and so
and that Super Bowl performance not only how poorly played
and not diving on the ball, but afterwards, you know,
like you can't the one thing. You gotta be there

(01:35:56):
when you win, and you gotta be there when you
lose it did it looked really bad the way hand?
I get it. But do you agree with me that
people haven't forgotten that people must be Yeah, there's something
there that that doesn't make because it can't be the
clothes and the haircut. I just can't be it. Just
it doesn't make sense. Nope, all right, let's check him
with our listeners. Uh. Gary's in Syracuse showing the odd

(01:36:16):
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What you got, Gary? Hey, guys,
I believe Cam Newton Kevin trouble getting a job. It
is his character. He's not a team guy. And I
can't remember the story or was years ago. He was
in the second or third year where he wouldn't hang
out with his teammates, and I you know, I can't
remember exactly story about it, but he's not a you know,

(01:36:38):
he's not a team guy. He didn't do himself too much.
And you guys keep talking about his MVP year, As
Colin would say, you take out that one good year.
He's either a below average quarterback or he's a bus
number one. Can't you can't wait a minute, Gary, you
can't do that. You can't take out No hold on,
you can't take out with the one good year. And

(01:36:59):
he's had more than ay Rob, if you take away
my Adams apple, what am I exactly? He g that's
so easy to say. There's so many quarterbacks who have played.
Philip Rivers has played fifteen years in the league and
has to sniffed the Super Bowl, And I mean, where's
where's then get that? Where where's the proof of this?
He's a bad teammate. So I don't get that. I've
never heard that. I've never I've never heard one instant

(01:37:22):
of him off the field, And since he's been in
the NFL, I've not heard one thing. If you want
to say that about Jamis Winston, that's warranted. I get it.
We've got multiple situations that he's put himself in that
have been in bad spots. I've never heard one thing
about Cam Newton off the field. I haven't either, and
that and that that's that. I just that whole idea.
If you take away his super MVP Super Bowl year,

(01:37:43):
Oh that's easy to say. Yeah, okay, let's do that.
Bill in California, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio, and gentlemen, thank you for braving the elements
and putting on a great show today. Appreciate you. Thanks man.
I think this Cam Newton thing is kind of problematic
of where a lot of the middle of the road
teams are right now. They're worried about their long term

(01:38:04):
salary capital. They can get somebody like Gardner Minshew to
hold the fort down, um, and do they even want
to bring Cam Newton in and kind of be a
shadow over his shoulder, keep him from doing what he's
doing at the price that he's doing. And if Cam
comes in at eight or nine for a backup and
has a great year, then the next year he's gonna
want twenty five thirty. And then today's NFL that's just

(01:38:28):
not you know, the teams that are winning have these
quarterbacks on their roots deals. No, no, no, but there
are guys who are paid who and that those guys
are good. My thing is, are you trying to win
or you? What is this like the who can save
the most money you can have? Your menshew or whatever
you want to call him, You're not winning anything. Well

(01:38:48):
that's what that's what you do, call hi because that's
his name. Yeah whatever, menshew, it's not it's not like
a nickname. Watching but do minshoe what you ben do
minshow that's what you want. Then you go ahead and
you take what your but do minshoe and you won't
win nothing. Not ah, you guys save that right? Is

(01:39:14):
that a new dropt It just like there's like the
poopoo king. I'm the poop I'm the poopoo king. Hey,
Trucker Don and Boston, you're in the copts or whatever
you want to call him. God, thanks, thank you for
taking my call. How you doing good? How you doing Bud?
Are you making out all right? I'm doing good. Yep.

(01:39:37):
Just living the life, you know that. Yeah, hanging there. Yeah,
I appreciate it. You do the same. You know, you
gotta go a whole night without Chris again. Not worship
Wednesday without Chris by the way, no doubt about it, right.
I think I've had eight eight porn references to that,
so maybe not. I know three I noticed human more

(01:40:00):
in I figured to stop sign at the corner by
your house probably has dollar bills all a right, Joe,
what are you going on? Joda is Knucks, by the way,
is the only guy I love that that has my
sense of humor, by the way, So you know, just
I try and keep it clean here, like I'm just
trying to. Janis is my training name. As far as

(01:40:27):
Cam goes, you know, I would to look to have
seen him in the Patriots uniform. His only problem is
he's a distraction, and if he could really get past that,
I think he would be phenomenal, Especially with Josh McDaniels.
I think what it really creates something. See I agree.
I agree with the with the Patriots stuff. I think

(01:40:49):
it would be fascinating to watch them use him. Bucky
Brooks has been all over this saying Belichick's he loves
Cam Newton the player and has done nothing but speak
highly of about Cam Newton as a player and mobile
quarterbacks have always given Bill Bill Belichick fits just like
mobile quarterbacks have given Nick Saban fits. I just I agree.

(01:41:10):
I don't think Belichick once a guy with the personality
that Cam Newton brings. Like I just a thing is, Look,
Bill Belichick went for Randy Moss after he left the
Raiders and it was bad. They were like, he's terrible.
Do you remember that? I know? And I think, look,
if if Belichick could get Cam Newton to buy into

(01:41:33):
the Patriot Way, all of a sudden, we're now talking
about the greatest coaching performance that we've ever seen. If
you look in totality, think about all the players that
were that were problems elsewhere that came and all bought
into the Patriot Way. You mentioned Randy Moss, Um Corey

(01:41:54):
Dillon was one of those guys. He had shadow Chosinko
that he brought in, and shadow chosinco didn't give him
any problem. Plus he've been brought an a B they're
willing to do oh yeah, oh yeah. And Camas by
far less tamer than those guys. They think about this.
They had a mass murderer on their team, Aaron Hernandez,
and we were all stunned to find out what was happening.

(01:42:15):
And he was killing people and we never heard a
thing about it because he too bought into the Patriot way.
So I think it would be amazing to see Cam
in New England, no doubt about it. All right, get
the fire department on stand by. One of our Fox
Sports Radio teammates is about to slide into the hot seat.

Odd Couple of Fox Sports raided. We do this every

(01:43:21):
single Wednesday at nine thirty PM Eastern, We bring in
one of our Fox Sports teammates to get into the
squared circle, with the tag team Champions of the World
tagging in for Crisp Brussarr tonight is Jonas Knocks, but
Tonight's victim none other than the future Laker, the guy
who tried to work over Uncle Samon got caught doing it.

(01:43:42):
My man, Brian, No, Brian, how are you feeling this evening, dude?
Fantastic Rob g I over twelve thousand dollars in taxes.
Aside from that, I'm doing great. Twelve thousand dogs, got
a bad account what are you talking about? I know, Rob,
it's crazy, but I thought gonna get money back. I
thought I was getting thousands back. I oh, twelve geez,

(01:44:04):
it's crazy. What's going on here? I ain't paying But
that's why, Hey, fire your accountant immediately and uh and
go to Aunt Ruth or somebody to do your taxes instead.
Whoever does Robs. I know it, man, I know it rough,
but all good. We're abomb dirt, so I'm not gonna complain.
That's just like, Hey, they just see you know, they

(01:44:24):
call him right off, Rob for a reason. This is true.
This is true. You see the receipts he had in
studio right now, he's trying to find a way to
write off a lap dance he got in nineteen ninety
seven as part of show prep. Hey, I was covering
some but baseball players back then, that's what they were.
He was. He was turning out a new bat. I'm
a little moist right now. All right, you know how

(01:44:45):
this segment works. Brian No has three very hot takes.
Is gonna defend against the our couple two on one.
So let's get started topic number one. We were just
talking about the Panthers and Cam Newton while his former
coach Ron river is the new coach in the Washington Redskin,
and Brian No says that Ron Rivera is the most
overrated head coach in the NFL. Brian, you got thirty

(01:45:08):
seconds tell us why that's right. All I heard when
he was hired was oh, oh, good hire by the Redskins.
Good hire? Really? How come? Let's look at what Ron
Rivera did. Winning percentage was under fifty five percent. You
know who had a better winning percentage in football? Jason Garrett.
That's right, Jason Garrett has a better career winning percentage

(01:45:31):
than Ron Rivera, the guy who everybody says stunk and
they couldn't get him, couldn't wait to get him out
of Dallas. He's got a better winning percentage. The Redskins
stunk before he got there. They're gonna stink with Ron Rivera.
He's not gonna do jack. He's no difference maker in
a world that includes Bill O'Brien. You're gonna say Ron

(01:45:51):
Rivera is the most overrated coach in the NFL. Bill O'Brien,
who has had talent up and down that roster in
Houston and figured out a way to underperform an underwhelm
and butcher and organization, and then on top of that
they give him GM duties. I cannot side with Briano
on this. I love Brian know, I've worked with him
a long time, but on this one, until Bill O'Brien

(01:46:14):
proves he can get something done with the Houston Texans,
my money's on Bob. There is a difference between worth
and overrated. You're arguing for a worth head coach. Nobody
hypes up Mill O'Brien. Nobody says that guy is good.
A lot of people say Ron Rivera is good. That's
why he's overrated. I call him yo yo Ronnie. One

(01:46:37):
years good, one year's bad. He's eve and four, he's seven,
eight and one, he's fifteen and one, he's six and ten.
He's a roller coaster ride and the most overhyped, overrated
head coach in the NFL. Brian No, you couldn't be
more wrong. What are you talking about? John Gruden is
the most overrated coach. Thank this guy one hundred million

(01:47:01):
dollars guaranteed, and ever since he won that Super Bowl
with Tony Dungee's team, go look at his record and
look what he's done. He's done nothing. Ron Rivera went
to a Super Bowl in Charlotte, North Carolina, of all places.
He also two time Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year.
Stop ragging on him just because you don't like the guy.

(01:47:24):
He's done his job. That was actually a very well
debated round, probably the best we've had in weeks. I
didn't really agree with it at first, but round number
one goes to Brian No. He mean kind of made
me a believer. More kiss, great kiss, And you know what,

(01:47:45):
Rob g your Hispanic brother, and I want to know
what you're doing here? Ko my Hispanic I didn't know
that a round number two. We keep it moving the
hot seat, the Akaba Fox George Radio. Brian know, even
though we want in that first round, he knows the
best way to beat the odd couple is to separate him.

(01:48:05):
And right now he wants to put Rob Parker in
the hot sea because Rob Parker is the only one
on your radio right now who thinks that. You know what,
it'd be a terrible storyline in football if Tom Brady
ends up winning the Super Bowl this season. Rob tell
us why. The best story is that Tom Brady goes
to Tampa Bay and is a flop and that team

(01:48:28):
makes it a Baker's dozen, which will be thirteen years
in a row without winning. He has done nothing but
benefit from luck and Bill Belichick. All that's gonna go
out of the way. Tom Brady went for the money
grab in Tampa Bay. Nobody wanted him. This will be
a great story. He's gonna wind up like Willie Mays
in nineteen seventy three, bumbling and fumbling in left field,

(01:48:52):
missing fly balls. Tom Brady is washed. Brian know, you
better take it. You better take a bite out of
Rob Parker right now. Oh absolutely, I will right here, Jonas,
you and me tag team partners. This is exactly why
it would be the biggest storyline if he won a
Super Bowl. It's because of people like you, Rob people

(01:49:12):
like you. That's that's the AFC East. It's because of Belichick.
It's because of this and that, not Tom Brady, sheer
greatness and iron will. He's got fourteen Pro Bowls by himself.
The Horrible Bucks as a franchise have four in their
quarterbacking history in forty four years. Tom Brady has ten
more Pro Bowls by himself. And if he took that

(01:49:35):
team that hasn't been in the playoffs in twelve years.
Good timing though, the number twelve right with Tom Brady,
twelve years without the players, if he takes him there
to the podcast for a seventh ring, easily the biggest
story in sports, not just football. Once again, it's the
false narrative. Brian No and Jonas Knox of bradiness. This
is like what they did with the Cleveland Browns a

(01:49:56):
year ago, the old b Jane All. The roster's unbelievable.
They're gonna go from not making the playoffs to the
super Bowl. Looking at roster and it didn't happen. You
guys are always buying in on these pie in the
sky stories. Tom Brady's forty three with a rubber arm
and not going anywhere. Hey, Rob, what do they tell

(01:50:18):
guys who are about ready to make a poor decision?
Think with your big head, not your small one. Right now,
you're thinking with the small head. And in the small
head that I'm referring to, it's your Twitter mentions, because
you know, if Tom Brady wins a super Bowl, in
your mind, it's a wonderful conclusion to a wonderful career.
But all you're thinking about is all the trash you've talked,

(01:50:39):
all the checks you wrote with your mouth that your
ass is gonna have to cash, and that's involving your
Twitter mentions. Get your mind at your mentions and start
thinking with the big head. You'll realize tom Brady winning
is magical. Tough round to score there, because you know
how much I hate Tom Brady. Brian no swinging after
the bells took points were from his squads. Round number
two goes to Rob Parker. I what a joke. Last

(01:51:11):
of the night, the hottest taken the night. We saved
the best for last it's worth two and a half points,
so we could go either way, which we Jonas, who
has zero points, could still find a way to get
on the board. Brian, No, I don't know how he
came to this conclusion, but he says that peeps, you know,
those little birds, those sugary ball birds, they're incredibly underrated. Brian,

(01:51:33):
good luck defendance. We got thirty seconds. Man, it sounds
like you're not going to be convinced on this one.
All right, I'll move some mountains over here. It's marshmallow
with sugar on top. Two outstanding choices on their own
that are just better together. Here's my theory on peeps
and all the negativity. You just got a bunch of

(01:51:53):
sheep in the world today. There are a lot of
people that haven't even tried peeps ever, and they just
go along with the out it's fashionable to bash them
and they don't even know any better. But they are
actually delicious. It's an Easter staple. I hate when people
talk trash about the goodness of peeps, because they are
an outstanding shreek, no doubt. Top shell. You guys ever

(01:52:15):
seen that movie Alive. You know the movie Alive where
the plane crashes, and they're so starving that ultimately they
had to end up eating the casualties on the plane,
so they ate human flesh on that plane. Ready and
available were boxes of peeps, and they still decided, you
know what, I'd like to take a bite out of
Jeff's torso as opposed to bite into a marshmallow, which

(01:52:36):
is basically barf and sugar mixed in in one. It's
the worst candy ever created. It's a disaster every single
Easter when they roll them out. And Briano has been
pushing and the words of Rob Parker, the false narrative
that is peeps outrageous. Okay, so let's break this thing down.
Jonas is comparison for marshmallows is barf? Really? You know

(01:53:00):
you put barf on your s'mores, You put barf in
your hot chocolate over here. This is what I'm talking about,
the over the top bashing. Peeps are like Nickelback, yet
treated way worse, and people are better than Nickelback. It's anxious,
the negativity that's wwhirling around out there against peeps. I
won't stand for it at all. Peeps are nothing more

(01:53:23):
than sugar with hair on it. They're disgusting. And this
is how you know that they're bad. If they were
really good, they'd be around all year round. Why you
only bring them out to an Easter. All the other
chocolate that we get at easters around all year long.
Why are Peep's only brought out because that's the only
time you could strick the little kids into eating it

(01:53:45):
during that time. And the other part, you never trust
anything that's that's back by the dental organization of this country.
The dentists have put that out for business. That's all
you do is lose. See. That was a very well
fucked round, hey maker, thrown on both sides. But I
gotta tell you what, Brian, No, I got something for you.

(01:54:06):
We got some nickelback on the way because I gave
you the wind. Those two bad He can't he can't
get the w he can't get the win, but he's
getting nickel back. This is a this is a disgrace.
You're a comforting me. Wait, won you got nickel back? Hey?
Let me tell you something, Rob Parker, just just another
example of the white man getting all the breaks. We

(01:54:27):
can't get any love in this country. Okay. Hold On
Jonas is deemed one, and he still thinks that he
can't get any breaks matter. I mean, they screw you, Rob,
parting the ruling. Brian no gets the win. You can't
do that, Rob. Wait, I thought you gave the wind
to Brian. No, no, no, no, he gave it to us,

(01:54:48):
but he gave him Nickel. Jonas ruined it, Okay, So
forget what I said. Yeah, that's what you get. Your
title has been revoked. I love it all right. Hey.

think we were close to that, I believe. So. Yeah,
it's fun. Who wouldn't want to do this? No, no, no,
no doubt about it. I mean, but there's still a
lot that's I mean, it ain't dead easy. I mean
a lot of people think they could do it. It's
not that easy. I was the rabbit chuck e cheese,
trust me, this is easy. Okay, Well you really yeah,
I was, I was, must be costume and all that. Yes,

(01:57:47):
imagine the bo and the other smells you like to

filthy attire. I'm moisture now. Yes, thanks for joining us. Yes,
