Speaker 1 (03:26):
Of them is our social media Google one. Dude, Elijah

Speaker 4 (03:40):

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Why brother brother can't go back home? Racist? What I mean?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
There?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
You you assumed? Do you now? I'm just saying they
had to be somewhere with a bunch of countries. He
was hitting every He's always going stuff. All right, And
here's the last thing. What is that?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
It's a trash talking Tuesday. Our number two your answer
to trash anyone anything in the world of sports, will
give you thirty forty five seconds of uninterrupted random is
that a word random.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I like it right, Well, Land random, so you can
do that.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
We're the only program in the country that gives you
this opportunity.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
But we do it.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But let's do this first, Rob g we got some
very depressing numbers from the w NBA and the All
Star and you know, yesterday we had a big conversation.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
About them wanting more money and all that.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Stuff, but we got further proof of what moves the
needle in the WNBA. And trust me, it ain't ninety
nine point eight percent.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Of the league.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Something tells me Rob Parker's not buying the spin job
coming out of the w Because if you're on social
media earlier on Tuesday, you saw a very interesting graphic
put up on ESPN and the WNBA social media accounts
saying that the WNBA television ratings for the All Star
Game over the weekend, we're up one hundred and fifty
(05:07):
eight percent. You're like, man, that's a ginormous number. That's incredible,
and then small parenthes underneath it they put from the
twenty twenty three season.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Now that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
You're like, well, why would they do that because we're
now in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
What happened in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Oh yeah, twenty twenty four was when Caitlin Clark joined exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
WNBA All Star Game.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
And if you consider what happened last year with the
television ratings, this year's All Star Game down thirty six
percent year over year. The difference was Clark played last year,
did not play this year?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Bob, did you give me more?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
We could go on on.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
This just continues a trend, rather troubling trend if you're
the WNBA that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Now play out for years. The twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
NCAA Championship Game for women, you recall, had the largest
ratings ever when Kaitlyn Clark was in it. The year after,
so that was this year down fifty four percent.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
WoT A shocker? Oh wow? Okay, I thought people like
women's basketball.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I thought that was twenty twenty five WNBA Draft down
forty nine percent from last year when Kaitlyn Clark was
in it. The All Star Game we just mentioned, down
thirty six percent from last year when Kaitlyn Clark was
in it. And here's the worst one of all. The
twenty twenty five WNBA television rating. Ah, you listening Kelvin
(06:33):
is for you, Okay, go ahead. While Kaitlyn Clark was
out injured. She's been injured a lot throughout the season,
down fifty percent during the time that she was out hurt.
The Kaitlyn Clark effect is real.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There's no doubt about it. And Kelvin, I'm just gonna
say this. I'm not going to mince words or whatever.
They want fifty percent of the revenue and all that.
That's what the well, that's right. They want they want,
they want that like the NBA. They want fifty percent
of whatever is bringing brought in and that's there. They're
only getting nine percent, but they want fifty percent, and
(07:06):
I say, no way, no how for the majority of
the women in the WNBA. But if you ask me
about Kaitlyn Clark, she deserves fifty percent of the revenue
coming in and they deserve to continue nine percent because
(07:26):
when she's not involved, it's business as usual, which is
what we had for the previous thirty years of the WNBA,
which is not that good.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
She is the one NUKA. Guys can deny.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It all you want, say it's not fair this and
that she moves the needle.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
There's no the numbers are there.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I don't know who can do it. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
People act like, oh well, it's not hurt really. And
here's the other thing. The other night All Star Game
to want those black T shirts, Kaitlyn Clark's T shirt
should have said pay me what you owe me in
capitol letters me you what about me? Bounds, This is
(08:09):
about me being paid. Caitlin Clark deserves to be paid.
I'm gonna take it a step further. She should opt
out of the WNBA uh union deal where all players,
you know, split the merchandise and all this suff She
should opt out because I'm gonna give you a couple
(08:31):
of names of players who opted out.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Michael Jordan opted out of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
He not taking the same cut as the fourth, the
twelfth man on the on an NBA roster, Okay, exactly,
He not taking that. Barry Bonds opted out of Baseball's
He's not taking that for what the twenty fifth man
on a baseball roster back then was getting. Everybody gets
the same amount of money. They both opted out. She
(08:58):
should opt out of anything involving the other players, and
even a contract.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I don't want it.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That garbage If you want me to play, you give
me a personal service contract to the owner.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know what I mean. I work for him or
her whoever.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Owns a what is the name of that team, the
Indiana I fever. Yeah, I work for the owner as
a personal service deal, not a part of any union structure,
so that she can make the peanuts that they're giving her.
She is by far the reason we're even having a
conversation about the WNBA, about anything involving money and ratings
(09:42):
and ticket sales.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's her.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Go out and get a T shirt, Kaitlin Clark's T shirt.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Pay me what you owe me. They owe her.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
The rest of the women in the WNBA not so much.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
She clearly is the sun in everything orbits around her,
without a doubt. She is the gravity that pulls everybody in,
that pulls the viewership, that pulls the sponsorships to pull
the chartered planes, all that good stuff and so everything.
I'm with you. She clearly her worth. We all know
what it is. WNBA has skyrocketed since her ascension. The
(10:23):
college women's college Basketball Tournament. It rose because of her,
without a doubt. The only thing where I will throw
a caveat into this is rob Money isn't everything to everybody,
especially when you're still making good money. And what I
mean by that is I think she realizes she has
a chance to help be a part of something. She's
been very vocal about how she wants to be a
(10:45):
part of the movement to get women to be paid more.
She wants to be a part of the move and
to get what they believe they deserve. She wants to
be a part of the elevation of the game, both
from a notoriety standpoint, from a critically acclaim standpoint, from
a viewership standpoint, and a financial standpoint, and she very
much wants to be a part of that. And I
think that's why, as big as she is, she often
opts to kind of be a part of the team.
(11:07):
She opts to I'll just be there and do what
we're all doing, and I'll make sure or in this case,
i won't be seen for a reason, so that I
don't blow up the spot. To me, she strikes me
as somebody who wants to her legacy to be I
was a great player, but also look what I did
for the game. And that's why I think she's not
gonna put herself on an island, or it's all about me,
(11:28):
take care of me, look at me, because no, not that.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Jordan and Barry Bonds did it for a reason, because
because it's not fair. It's not that the equity is
not I'm not Jordan and Barry Bonds were not. God
Hastings are not the same guy then, and they should not.
And I'm not arguing that, but I'm saying her too
me that separating yourself from from membership is what it is.
And I can't be mad at somebody who moves the
(11:52):
needle that much.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And I would argue mighty. I mean for the relative
respect of sports, she's equal to Jordan in that regard,
maybe even bigger in that regard of what she brings
versus the single you know, compared to him, the singular person.
But again, I think she's standing for something bigger. I
think she looks and you know, you look at a
billy Jane King. I'm trying to do more for women's tennis.
(12:14):
I'm trying to get him paid more. I'm trying to
get title nine. I'm trying to do all of this,
and I think that's to me equally. What her mission
is not just to be great, not just to watch
my bank account grow. But I want part of my
legacy to be Look what I also help build. Look
at the legacy I left behind her. She can't do it.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
She can't do it with the rest of the women
and the league because the numbers aren't going to allow
you to do that, and her showing her worth.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Her worth, she ain't got to show it at this point,
it is clear it is there's no more number indicator.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That numbers doing that by by by saying no, you're
not going to short change me.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, under any circumstances.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
As a woman, especially, I'm not gonna take what everybody
else is taking when obviously my numbers dictate something else.
Michael Jordan did it, Barry Bonds did it, and she
should do.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Here's the difference or why, I think the issue why
they're not quite apples apples. She's just now entering the league,
whereas Jordan and Bonds were able to do that because
they became established, you know, they became those guys where
you could literally I can't even hate on that. I
think for her, she's feeling like, I'm new to this.
I want to grow, I want to, you know, kind
of build a camaraderie. I don't want to come in
(13:28):
and ruffle feathers, separating myself, whereas Jordan took years because
he came in the league. Yeah, you're good, but it's
about magic, It's about Burrd, it's about doctor James, about
Isaiah Thomas, about a bunch of other guys kareem as well,
and I think eventually his ascension Jordan could separate and
stuff and you couldn't be mad at that. She doesn't
want to walk in and be that, but I completely
get it why you would do that, because again, she
(13:49):
nothing else has been this obvious in sports in quite
some time except Tiger Woods in the separation with Tiger
Woods where you saw him and then the next golfer
and the only thing to WNBA. They have to figure
it out where they have to have other stars continue
to grow along with her. And if she can pull
the ship, she can be dragging the ship. We all
right with that, but other people have to rise as well.
(14:11):
Because I told robb g this rob last point. What
if she ends up becoming and you know how this
works in sports. What if the novelty robs rubs off?
What if the novelty goes away? And you know that happens.
What if in a year or two, everything we love
her for becomes what we don't like her for. All
she does shoot threes, here, she goes again getting into
(14:32):
it with people. Yeah, but she never wins anything, and
meaning she comes down a little bit and she's just
a good player.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
How it works. You got to strike when no, no, no,
I'm not talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm saying what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
You sound like Jerry Jones talking about getting hit by
a car.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No no, no, no, this is no no, this isn't
you're this is not about her. I'm talking about. I'm saying.
This is why the league has to continue to grow
the game, because there's gonna be a on a point
where she levels down and you don't want it to be. Well,
you missed out, so I'm know I'm saying, and grow
while she's hot. Grow the game while she's hot, because
eventually she may just become a really good player, but
not one of the best, as she isn't right now
(15:08):
the best, and you don't want it to be with
the novelty fades away, is what I'm saying. All right,
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We want to
hear from you.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Is Kayln Clark the only player who deserves a raise
in a WNBA, the only one the rest day at
nine percent? She should get fifty in my eyes should
she opt out of the Players Union. We'll continue that
conversation next with you. It is The Odd Couple on
a trash Talking Tuesday, Rob Parker, Kelvin Washington right here

Speaker 7 (16:00):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

So I was gonna pop up right there top of
your screen taking a couple of calls eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox talking about Kaitlin Clark, Rob said,
(17:37):
instead of pay me, pay us what you owe, pay
me what you owe is what the her shirt should
have said. And I say, Rob, she's trying to do
for the greater good. She's trying to have a lasting legacy.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Who we got.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Marty in Kentucky. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Marty?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
How are you Rob doing?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Man doing great? How's up River doing?
Speaker 9 (18:02):
He's having a good summer. We just got back from
Universal Studios.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
He had a good time, very nice, very nice, great,
great to hear your voice.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
What's up, Marty?
Speaker 9 (18:11):
What you got I'm with Rob here. The numbers don't
why she's the cash cow? What what? What blows my
mind is, you know. And I'm not gonna act like
I know all the players names and I act like
I watch all the games. I don't watch much. I
stept up with Clark and Reese and that's pretty much it.
(18:32):
And there's a draw and it's you know, Indanda's only
team really making money. And it's crazy seeing people wearing
these shirts in a business overall that is not making money.
It's still you know, they're not losing as much as
they used to, but not making money. And at the
same time, we got an aftar out there and I
(18:53):
don't know her name, but she did an interview and
she's talking about, you know, with them wearing the shirt,
and she dogs Taitlan Clark.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Kelsea Plumb, Kelsey Plum talking about that was a rotten
plumb right there.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
Right work Like, like everybody at Caitlyn Girk because she's white.
I'm like, are you serious? You think she's the only
white player in the NBA. You know nothing about women nothing.
They don't like her because she walked in the league.
It was the biggest star before she ever touched the basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Marty before she even got in the league. You remember
the older other players were ripping her. Remember that time
so all that they were all talking bad about her. Yeah,
oh we got lost, Marty. Thanks for the call, Marty.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, absolutely not because it's singularly because she's white. Because
anytime somebody comes in with fan fair and it's not
she's not new to the league. It happened to Jordan
getting freeze out of All Star froze out of All
Star games. Who's this young buck? When people come in
at her hotshot, you got a bunch of established veterans
who felt, like, you know, they've helped build the league
the last five ten years. They're not gonna just love
you coming in like that. It happens all the time.
(20:00):
Jay in Georgia, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 10 (20:03):
What's up, Jake, Hey, we're going on guys. First of all,
let me go ahead and tell you guys, I had
my in the car and when I tell y'all, I
cured her because she was screaming, laughing at you guys
about that whole.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Bought them scrap, bought them strips. Whose side? What's she on? Like?
Speaker 10 (20:22):
She eventually ended up on Rob Don't she like, don't
be count my foods.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Don't count for too. But Jay, you gotta tell her.
Make sure you tell her other part of the stories
that he told her. Make sure some strimping there. See,
that's the part she ain't gonna have that.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Yeah, we made the whole by the time you got
to talk about that part. But uh yeah, Kevin, I
think what you're saying about Kate and Clark, I think
that's not good and theory. But at the end of
the day, the name of the game is money and
Caitland Clark she's worth all the money and without her,
those other players are relevant. So you gotta pay or
(21:00):
what she worked and set down to get the money
while they're getting good, right.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Because without her being in the league, they might instead
of nine percent, they might have dropped it to seven.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I'm just saying without.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Her, I'm not arguing with you, guys. Yeah, Jay, I'm
not our Thank you for the call, Jay, real quick,
before we go to what's trinity. I'm not arguing about
like the money she deserves, which is the beauty of capitalism,
meaning she can get some Gatorade deals and some other
deals outside as much money as she can get. The
only thing I'm saying is there are certain people who
put the game bigger than themselves, who put the others
(21:31):
as bigger than themselves. They don't make it just about them.
She strikes me as somebody who's saying, I want to
elevate everybody. I don't want it to just be about me.
So I'm not mad at her getting money. I just
seek her personality. Some people ain't about that. They about me.
She strikes me as somebody about the week, is all
I'm saying, Steve, you feel me about that? Steve the
segu what's trenning?

you owe us, and I said, she should be wearing
a T shirt pay me what you owe me because
her numbers when she participates are through the roof, and
when she's not, the All Star ratings came out thirty
five percent down.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You can just look across the board.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Ticket prices for the All Star Game drop forty eight
percent overnight when she said she wasn't playing, like she's
a big part of it. And we saw Michael Jordan
opt out of the union deal, we saw Barry Bonds
opted out of the union deal not to be paid
scale what everybody else gets.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
And I'm saying she.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Should do that.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Well, yeah, but I don't. I don't know if she
should do that because what I think she's trying to do.
You got to remember baseball in the NBA were already
making money. Okay, we're still waiting on the w NBA
to make money. She is a driving force for in
these next negotiations for them to actually be in the
(23:26):
black and not the red. After you know, after the
next TV deal goes through.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Good luck because they were down.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
But you know, being petty and being like, no, I'm
gonna do it myself, that's how you further alienate your contemporary.
She's she's never been that person. She's always been a
team person. She can't help how petty. Uh, some of
the players are towards her and all that. All she
want to do is play basketball in the WNBA, something
(23:59):
she had dreamt about. She's been a little kid. And
whatever she needs to do to help push the game
forward like so many others, Uh, she's willing to do.
So I don't think she should opt out of it.
I think, you know, they're really wanting more than nine
percent of the revenue share, which I understand because look,
(24:19):
the w n b A is on the upward trajectory, right.
We can all agree on that she's a driving force
behind that. But we got a young lady who tore
acl who's still in college Watkins, who's going to add
to that fanfare and and and and to that driving
force that are is going to raise the league up.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
So I can't imagine it being what we just saw
with Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Because it's happened, It's never happened before. It's hard to
repeat something that you know of that magnitude.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Again, it was like it was like Whend and Magic, right, right,
But you do to the point you can be in Jordan,
but it ain't gonna be.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It ain't gonna be. It ain't gonna be that. But
you hope maybe because of the elevation of Magic and
Bird that you can have a little Jordan situation with
her where she elevates it as well. He familiar there.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
The fact that it's happened already, right, the fact that
it's happened already. It will never be the same, but
now it just moves forward. So any player coming in
now they're just gonna move it forward.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I was going to go to the NFLPA stuff that's
been happening over last week or two. Uh, what the
heck is going on? You got nothing.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
This is a players Association as usual, right.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
You got Lloyd Hollin's hanging out with Robin, Magic City
and Tutsis and he's he's getting in all this trouble.
He's got to step down. We got the whole collusion Casey,
he was sitting on and others for six months not
telling the players where some of these quarterbacks might have
been getting some crazy guaranteed.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Money for them to turn in your union car.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What's going on with you? And what they ever change
with They ever listen to folks like you and say
we got to do better.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
No, I think union the voices they listen to the
most are the current players. I remember being in those
meetings when I was playing, and they would come in
and they would phrase things like, you guys remember when
all the Hall of Fame guys were like, look, man,
we need you know, lifetime healthcare. And so the representatives
(26:21):
for the PA will come in and they would be like,
do you want higher salaries or health care for life? Well,
you can't. You can't, you know, submit something like that
to a bunch of current players when they're early twenties,
who who have never even ever thought about health care
(26:42):
because they've always had it. And then to take money
out of their you know, off their contracts, out of
their pocket, they're all they will always go for the
money now and and and not the money later. So
I just always thought the NFLPA had messaging problems, right,
(27:04):
messaging problems, because in a heartbeat, someone who's forty nine
years old, who hasn't had healthcare through the NFL in
well over a decade.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
What is it five years after you retire you get
year that's it? Correct?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I remember I remember being almost forty and getting a
letter and them saying, hey, your healthcare is over. And
I was like, well, what what does that mean. I
don't even know how to go get health care.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, they were like, go get your cobra going.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Yeah, I've been covered since I was twenty two years old,
and before that I was with my parents health care.
So it it's the messaging for me from the NFLPA
has always been a little offer. Especially you have to
be able to bridge the gap between current and past players.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
All right, let'sa Michael Parsons and of course Jerry Jones.
Remember you could be hip HOI a call. I forgot
that even so remember that, I mean like whatever that
has to do with whether or not you're going to
sign your star defensive player. But you could if I
signed you, you know, you could get hit by a car,
you could get cancer, you know, you could exactly like
(28:13):
what like like this is this is not surprising because
this is Jerry. He drags his feet and then eventually.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
He always rolls over.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
He from him because he did it with Dak prest C.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Yeah he did. But what he always does is he
always puts himself in a situation where it costs him
more than it actually. Right, how about you get this
done first in the off season, and now you don't
have to compete with the t J. Watt deal?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right?
Speaker 5 (28:44):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Now you set the market?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Remember the CD lamb like this is a So look
I don't feel bad or sorry for him, because what
happens is he keeps walking himself into these situations where
he gets the brunt of it, and so you get
what you get. Man. Stupid is what stupid does if
you continue to do something over and over again expecting
(29:08):
a different result. What's that? What's that the definition of
a cowboy?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Fans?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm sorry, Look, look they've done it once again. They
know they have to sign them. They didn't trade them,
they weren't gonna trade them, they weren't gonna move up
in the draft. They knew they were gonna sign them.
So why would you wait to jase someone like JJ
Watt resets the market? Now you got a younger MICHAEH
(29:36):
Parton whose numbers are comparable since he's been in the league.
You can't possibly make his lawyer, I mean, excuse me,
his agent. You can't reason why he should be paid less.
And he has more tread on the tire that with
the similar impact.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, it's and you think he jumping from on one
of them. By now, let me just do it. By now,
I mean dump a brinks chuck in front of somebody, now,
so you know what.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
He did it and he didn't have to. You know
what he did it. He didn't have to, and maybe
that's why he doesn't do it anymore. When he signed
the hell yeah, well see that that ninety million dollar deal,
and he had two years left on his rookie deal.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
He from we only got a minute left. But the
Shador Sanders news coming out of the training camp is
not good. Like practice squad, maybe maybe released. It doesn't
sound like he's got some traction there, like they're going
to uh, he's going to win the job or let
him compete for the job. It just sounds it doesn't
sound good. What do you make of what's happened there?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
This is this is what and I said this before.
I think Kelvin, you and I talked about this. When
things start happening to players off the field. When players
off the field start putting themselves in situations before they've
even made a rockter, especially late round draft picks, then
the conversation is being had upstairs unbeknownst to the player
(31:04):
of k, do we can we cut him? Now? Can
we walk away from this?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Now?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Like all of that used to When you don't do
everything right, you're a fifth, sixth, seventh round draft pick,
and you're not doing everything right and you're, oh, by
the way, doing something wrong, those conversations start to happen.
And once those conversations start, once someone broaches that, then
it'll always be available. It'll always be there, all.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Right, sorry, right there, and that you can't have we
get we hear about the one speeding ticket, that comes
about another one and you already drafted fifth because people
thought you didn't interview well and yeah, you the last
thing you need is extra stuff, and it seems like
there's some extra stuff that's been happening to all right,
I appreciate you as always.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Man, appreciate you, brother, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
He for Salon right there, Give him a follow on

a couple people over the last couple of days. You
don't have to do some dodgers. They were like, tell
your partner. I was like, oh, I know, I got
a few of those tell your man's and I already knew.
I said what we actually, I didn't know. That's a lot.
I started thinking, Okay, dang, is it? Is it the Lions? Okay?
Is it the Chiefs?
Speaker 5 (35:11):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Is it w n B A oh Tani, that's what
it is. Yeah, tell him stop hating on o tany
know what they Yeah, I got a few of those, man,
I know. Tell you man, relax, take it easy on
Old Tony. Hey, y'all win your gods. The radio show.
It's going good man. We had a good groove. Me
and Rob Man. We're doing our thing. You know what
I'm saying. We're doing numbers on YouTube. You know what
I'm saying. Yeah, tell him take it and they ain't
(35:32):
got a relax on Old Tony. And then o'tanni went out,
you know, gave up a home run first in and
then bam that bat for him home run too.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Buxton with the home run for the Twins. And then
he's had a great Yeah. Yeah, he's got a great year.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Everybody healthy. You know, you're in baseball where you can
just buy people with the conversation is yeah, Bucks is
really good man. Yeah, playing the Dodger to go. Yeah,
the Dodgers might want to buy him, like during the Lions,
like you might be a Dodger next you're so good. Yeah,
let's see if we can get him. Like that's crazy,
But did you want to them a little bit there. No,
(36:05):
I'm just I'm glad they throwing up almost one hundred
on the I mean they were lucky to win that game.
I almost hit a home runner walk off the game
the Twins. Yeah, Carlos Alroy that was running.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Yes, Yeah, Tiger's down four nothing they are really.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Could have been won. If you touch the dag on
plate there.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
It's gonna be after if they lose tonight. Is that
eight out of nine?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, they've been straight. So the teams we see him
three weeks dominating, they're all terrible. Yankees terrible.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I mean like they've all been through their stretches. But
my goodness.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
And that's the thing about baseball, because this will give
us three weeks we'll be having the same conversation and
we'll be talking about how great they are.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Unless you're the Milwaukee Brewers, who have won like eleven
or twelve in a row, like they're rolling all right.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
What do you think of En Dominic and Sue Man
all of a sudden, just calling out out the blue,
by the way, talking about his second contract after this
rookie deal, Uh, that he should have made more than
Matthew Stafford. And you were there during those years.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
He was a tremendous player. But that's but that's not
what the league is. The league is a quarterbacks league,
and those guys have always got more money. I mean,
it's just it's that simple, you know what I mean.
I'm not a Stafford guy. I saw stat Patford, you
know what I mean, his whole career. I was there
from game one. I'm not a big Stafford guy. But
(37:24):
it's the nature. But you remember his last contract in Detroit.
When he signed it, he was the highest paid player
in the league, no playoff, Windy the highest paid.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
It's a position position. I don't even understand. He goes
on to say he being in Dominicans, who talking about that?
He so he got the short end of the stick.
And again he was incredible, But they had signed Matthew Stafford.
They signed Calvin Johnson to these huge extensions, of course,
while he was still in his rookie deal. What what
you know? What did he what did he expect?
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Just like the moral of the story is, dude, I
don't care how great TJ. Wadde is, he ain't gonna
be hot paid than the quarterback. Michael Parson is about
to break the bank. He's not gonna be paid then,
you know, the top quarterbacks on on. You know, that's
just the way this thing goes, and we always talk
about it. The next man up. There's always gonna be
somebody that we all kind of go who just got
(38:14):
out his money.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Exactly, Devin Booker seventy five million, really, and.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Devin Booker is a fine player, really good, but just
like because again, next, remember Mike Conley was the one
in there that was like the straw everybody in the
NBA went, We all like my made made an All Star.
Mi Colly is the nicest guy, but everybody was like,
all right, the buck stops here. This is getting crazy.
John Comkak don't get that. Remember that his nickname was
(38:40):
John Contract after he got that big deal, I thought
it was John con Whack. Yeah he was. He was
kind of whack, and I can't believe he was getting
that money. But yeah, I just saw Don Kitchu talking
about that. It's like, dude, come on, franchise quarterback perps
putting up numbers, whether you know, obviously he wasn't winning
a bunch, but putting up big numbers, you gonna do that.
But you know who else got paid, somebody else got
to paid a bunch of money, and but it's been
(39:01):
struggling a little bit, and you ain't been feeling the love.
You ain't been showing them love

Speaker 1 (03:48):
You you assumed? Do you now? I'm just saying they
had to be somewhere with a bunch of countries. He
was hitting every He's always going stuff. All right, And
here's the last thing. What is that?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
It's a trash talking Tuesday. Our number two your answer
to trash anyone anything in the world of sports, will
give you thirty forty five seconds of uninterrupted random is
that a word random.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I like it right, Well, Land random, so you can
do that.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
We're the only program in the country that gives you
this opportunity.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
But we do it.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But let's do this first, Rob g we got some
very depressing numbers from the w NBA and the All
Star and you know, yesterday we had a big conversation.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
About them wanting more money and all that.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Stuff, but we got further proof of what moves the
needle in the WNBA. And trust me, it ain't ninety
nine point eight percent.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Of the league.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Something tells me Rob Parker's not buying the spin job
coming out of the w Because if you're on social
media earlier on Tuesday, you saw a very interesting graphic
put up on ESPN and the WNBA social media accounts
saying that the WNBA television ratings for the All Star
Game over the weekend, we're up one hundred and fifty
(05:07):
eight percent. You're like, man, that's a ginormous number. That's incredible,
and then small parenthes underneath it they put from the
twenty twenty three season.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Now that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
You're like, well, why would they do that because we're
now in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
What happened in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Oh yeah, twenty twenty four was when Caitlin Clark joined exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
WNBA All Star Game.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
And if you consider what happened last year with the
television ratings, this year's All Star Game down thirty six
percent year over year. The difference was Clark played last year,
did not play this year?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Bob, did you give me more?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
We could go on on.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
This just continues a trend, rather troubling trend if you're
the WNBA that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Now play out for years. The twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
NCAA Championship Game for women, you recall, had the largest
ratings ever when Kaitlyn Clark was in it. The year after,
so that was this year down fifty four percent.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
WoT A shocker? Oh wow? Okay, I thought people like
women's basketball.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I thought that was twenty twenty five WNBA Draft down
forty nine percent from last year when Kaitlyn Clark was
in it. The All Star Game we just mentioned, down
thirty six percent from last year when Kaitlyn Clark was
in it. And here's the worst one of all. The
twenty twenty five WNBA television rating. Ah, you listening Kelvin
(06:33):
is for you, Okay, go ahead. While Kaitlyn Clark was
out injured. She's been injured a lot throughout the season,
down fifty percent during the time that she was out hurt.
The Kaitlyn Clark effect is real.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
There's no doubt about it. And Kelvin, I'm just gonna
say this. I'm not going to mince words or whatever.
They want fifty percent of the revenue and all that.
That's what the well, that's right. They want they want,
they want that like the NBA. They want fifty percent
of whatever is bringing brought in and that's there. They're
only getting nine percent, but they want fifty percent, and
(07:06):
I say, no way, no how for the majority of
the women in the WNBA. But if you ask me
about Kaitlyn Clark, she deserves fifty percent of the revenue
coming in and they deserve to continue nine percent because
(07:26):
when she's not involved, it's business as usual, which is
what we had for the previous thirty years of the WNBA,
which is not that good.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
She is the one NUKA. Guys can deny.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
It all you want, say it's not fair this and
that she moves the needle.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
There's no the numbers are there.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I don't know who can do it. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
People act like, oh well, it's not hurt really. And
here's the other thing. The other night All Star Game
to want those black T shirts, Kaitlyn Clark's T shirt
should have said pay me what you owe me in
capitol letters me you what about me? Bounds, This is
(08:09):
about me being paid. Caitlin Clark deserves to be paid.
I'm gonna take it a step further. She should opt
out of the WNBA uh union deal where all players,
you know, split the merchandise and all this suff She
should opt out because I'm gonna give you a couple
(08:31):
of names of players who opted out.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Michael Jordan opted out of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
He not taking the same cut as the fourth, the
twelfth man on the on an NBA roster, Okay, exactly,
He not taking that. Barry Bonds opted out of Baseball's
He's not taking that for what the twenty fifth man
on a baseball roster back then was getting. Everybody gets
the same amount of money. They both opted out. She
(08:58):
should opt out of anything involving the other players, and
even a contract.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I don't want it.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
That garbage If you want me to play, you give
me a personal service contract to the owner.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know what I mean. I work for him or
her whoever.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Owns a what is the name of that team, the
Indiana I fever. Yeah, I work for the owner as
a personal service deal, not a part of any union structure,
so that she can make the peanuts that they're giving her.
She is by far the reason we're even having a
conversation about the WNBA, about anything involving money and ratings
(09:42):
and ticket sales.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's her.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Go out and get a T shirt, Kaitlin Clark's T shirt.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Pay me what you owe me. They owe her.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
The rest of the women in the WNBA not so much.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
She clearly is the sun in everything orbits around her,
without a doubt. She is the gravity that pulls everybody in,
that pulls the viewership, that pulls the sponsorships to pull
the chartered planes, all that good stuff and so everything.
I'm with you. She clearly her worth. We all know
what it is. WNBA has skyrocketed since her ascension. The
(10:23):
college women's college Basketball Tournament. It rose because of her,
without a doubt. The only thing where I will throw
a caveat into this is rob Money isn't everything to everybody,
especially when you're still making good money. And what I
mean by that is I think she realizes she has
a chance to help be a part of something. She's
been very vocal about how she wants to be a
(10:45):
part of the movement to get women to be paid more.
She wants to be a part of the move and
to get what they believe they deserve. She wants to
be a part of the elevation of the game, both
from a notoriety standpoint, from a critically acclaim standpoint, from
a viewership standpoint, and a financial standpoint, and she very
much wants to be a part of that. And I
think that's why, as big as she is, she often
opts to kind of be a part of the team.
(11:07):
She opts to I'll just be there and do what
we're all doing, and I'll make sure or in this case,
i won't be seen for a reason, so that I
don't blow up the spot. To me, she strikes me
as somebody who wants to her legacy to be I
was a great player, but also look what I did
for the game. And that's why I think she's not
gonna put herself on an island, or it's all about me,
(11:28):
take care of me, look at me, because no, not that.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Jordan and Barry Bonds did it for a reason, because
because it's not fair. It's not that the equity is
not I'm not Jordan and Barry Bonds were not. God
Hastings are not the same guy then, and they should not.
And I'm not arguing that, but I'm saying her too
me that separating yourself from from membership is what it is.
And I can't be mad at somebody who moves the
(11:52):
needle that much.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And I would argue mighty. I mean for the relative
respect of sports, she's equal to Jordan in that regard,
maybe even bigger in that regard of what she brings
versus the single you know, compared to him, the singular person.
But again, I think she's standing for something bigger. I
think she looks and you know, you look at a
billy Jane King. I'm trying to do more for women's tennis.
(12:14):
I'm trying to get him paid more. I'm trying to
get title nine. I'm trying to do all of this,
and I think that's to me equally. What her mission
is not just to be great, not just to watch
my bank account grow. But I want part of my
legacy to be Look what I also help build. Look
at the legacy I left behind her. She can't do it.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
She can't do it with the rest of the women
and the league because the numbers aren't going to allow
you to do that, and her showing her worth.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Her worth, she ain't got to show it at this point,
it is clear it is there's no more number indicator.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That numbers doing that by by by saying no, you're
not going to short change me.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, under any circumstances.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
As a woman, especially, I'm not gonna take what everybody
else is taking when obviously my numbers dictate something else.
Michael Jordan did it, Barry Bonds did it, and she
should do.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Here's the difference or why, I think the issue why
they're not quite apples apples. She's just now entering the league,
whereas Jordan and Bonds were able to do that because
they became established, you know, they became those guys where
you could literally I can't even hate on that. I
think for her, she's feeling like, I'm new to this.
I want to grow, I want to, you know, kind
of build a camaraderie. I don't want to come in
(13:28):
and ruffle feathers, separating myself, whereas Jordan took years because
he came in the league. Yeah, you're good, but it's
about magic, It's about Burrd, it's about doctor James, about
Isaiah Thomas, about a bunch of other guys kareem as well,
and I think eventually his ascension Jordan could separate and
stuff and you couldn't be mad at that. She doesn't
want to walk in and be that, but I completely
get it why you would do that, because again, she
(13:49):
nothing else has been this obvious in sports in quite
some time except Tiger Woods in the separation with Tiger
Woods where you saw him and then the next golfer
and the only thing to WNBA. They have to figure
it out where they have to have other stars continue
to grow along with her. And if she can pull
the ship, she can be dragging the ship. We all
right with that, but other people have to rise as well.
(14:11):
Because I told robb g this rob last point. What
if she ends up becoming and you know how this
works in sports. What if the novelty robs rubs off?
What if the novelty goes away? And you know that happens.
What if in a year or two, everything we love
her for becomes what we don't like her for. All
she does shoot threes, here, she goes again getting into
(14:32):
it with people. Yeah, but she never wins anything, and
meaning she comes down a little bit and she's just
a good player.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
How it works. You got to strike when no, no, no,
I'm not talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm saying what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
You sound like Jerry Jones talking about getting hit by
a car.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No no, no, no, this is no no, this isn't
you're this is not about her. I'm talking about. I'm saying.
This is why the league has to continue to grow
the game, because there's gonna be a on a point
where she levels down and you don't want it to be. Well,
you missed out, so I'm know I'm saying, and grow
while she's hot. Grow the game while she's hot, because
eventually she may just become a really good player, but
not one of the best, as she isn't right now
(15:08):
the best, and you don't want it to be with
the novelty fades away, is what I'm saying. All right,
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We want to
hear from you.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Is Kayln Clark the only player who deserves a raise
in a WNBA, the only one the rest day at
nine percent? She should get fifty in my eyes should
she opt out of the Players Union. We'll continue that
conversation next with you. It is The Odd Couple on

And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

So I was gonna pop up right there top of
your screen taking a couple of calls eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox talking about Kaitlin Clark, Rob said,
(17:37):
instead of pay me, pay us what you owe, pay
me what you owe is what the her shirt should
have said. And I say, Rob, she's trying to do
for the greater good. She's trying to have a lasting legacy.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Who we got.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Marty in Kentucky. You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Marty?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
How are you Rob doing?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Man doing great? How's up River doing?
Speaker 9 (18:02):
He's having a good summer. We just got back from
Universal Studios.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
He had a good time, very nice, very nice, great,
great to hear your voice.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
What's up, Marty?
Speaker 9 (18:11):
What you got I'm with Rob here. The numbers don't
why she's the cash cow? What what? What blows my
mind is, you know. And I'm not gonna act like
I know all the players names and I act like
I watch all the games. I don't watch much. I
stept up with Clark and Reese and that's pretty much it.
(18:32):
And there's a draw and it's you know, Indanda's only
team really making money. And it's crazy seeing people wearing
these shirts in a business overall that is not making money.
It's still you know, they're not losing as much as
they used to, but not making money. And at the
same time, we got an aftar out there and I
(18:53):
don't know her name, but she did an interview and
she's talking about, you know, with them wearing the shirt,
and she dogs Taitlan Clark.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Kelsea Plumb, Kelsey Plum talking about that was a rotten
plumb right there.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
Right work Like, like everybody at Caitlyn Girk because she's white.
I'm like, are you serious? You think she's the only
white player in the NBA. You know nothing about women nothing.
They don't like her because she walked in the league.
It was the biggest star before she ever touched the basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Marty before she even got in the league. You remember
the older other players were ripping her. Remember that time
so all that they were all talking bad about her. Yeah,
oh we got lost, Marty. Thanks for the call, Marty.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, absolutely not because it's singularly because she's white. Because
anytime somebody comes in with fan fair and it's not
she's not new to the league. It happened to Jordan
getting freeze out of All Star froze out of All
Star games. Who's this young buck? When people come in
at her hotshot, you got a bunch of established veterans
who felt, like, you know, they've helped build the league
the last five ten years. They're not gonna just love
you coming in like that. It happens all the time.
(20:00):
Jay in Georgia, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 10 (20:03):
What's up, Jake, Hey, we're going on guys. First of all,
let me go ahead and tell you guys, I had
my in the car and when I tell y'all, I
cured her because she was screaming, laughing at you guys
about that whole.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Bought them scrap, bought them strips. Whose side? What's she on? Like?
Speaker 10 (20:22):
She eventually ended up on Rob Don't she like, don't
be count my foods.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Don't count for too. But Jay, you gotta tell her.
Make sure you tell her other part of the stories
that he told her. Make sure some strimping there. See,
that's the part she ain't gonna have that.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Yeah, we made the whole by the time you got
to talk about that part. But uh yeah, Kevin, I
think what you're saying about Kate and Clark, I think
that's not good and theory. But at the end of
the day, the name of the game is money and
Caitland Clark she's worth all the money and without her,
those other players are relevant. So you gotta pay or
(21:00):
what she worked and set down to get the money
while they're getting good, right.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Because without her being in the league, they might instead
of nine percent, they might have dropped it to seven.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I'm just saying without.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Her, I'm not arguing with you, guys. Yeah, Jay, I'm
not our Thank you for the call, Jay, real quick,
before we go to what's trinity. I'm not arguing about
like the money she deserves, which is the beauty of capitalism,
meaning she can get some Gatorade deals and some other
deals outside as much money as she can get. The
only thing I'm saying is there are certain people who
put the game bigger than themselves, who put the others
(21:31):
as bigger than themselves. They don't make it just about them.
She strikes me as somebody who's saying, I want to
elevate everybody. I don't want it to just be about me.
So I'm not mad at her getting money. I just
seek her personality. Some people ain't about that. They about me.
She strikes me as somebody about the week, is all
I'm saying, Steve, you feel me about that? Steve the
segu what's trenning?

Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Looking forward to what you guys got cooked up right
now from Salim our guests as always former NFL offensive lineman.
Fox Sports Radio Weekends E from Salim on x E.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
What up? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
What's up with you?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Man?
Speaker 9 (22:17):
That man?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (22:18):
Brothers?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Not y'all doing not much?
Speaker 10 (22:20):
Man?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Rob? Do you want to even want to bring him
in on our Caitlin Clark conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I'm just saying they were wearing those T shirts the
other day from talk about you know, pay us what
you owe us, and I said, she should be wearing
a T shirt pay me what you owe me because
her numbers when she participates are through the roof, and
when she's not, the All Star ratings came out thirty
five percent down.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You can just look across the board.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Ticket prices for the All Star Game drop forty eight
percent overnight when she said she wasn't playing, like she's
a big part of it. And we saw Michael Jordan
opt out of the union deal, we saw Barry Bonds
opted out of the union deal not to be paid
scale what everybody else gets.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
And I'm saying she.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Should do that.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Well, yeah, but I don't. I don't know if she
should do that because what I think she's trying to do.
You got to remember baseball in the NBA were already
making money. Okay, we're still waiting on the w NBA
to make money. She is a driving force for in
these next negotiations for them to actually be in the
(23:26):
black and not the red. After you know, after the
next TV deal goes through.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Good luck because they were down.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
But you know, being petty and being like, no, I'm
gonna do it myself, that's how you further alienate your contemporary.
She's she's never been that person. She's always been a
team person. She can't help how petty. Uh, some of
the players are towards her and all that. All she
want to do is play basketball in the WNBA, something
(23:59):
she had dreamt about. She's been a little kid. And
whatever she needs to do to help push the game
forward like so many others, Uh, she's willing to do.
So I don't think she should opt out of it.
I think, you know, they're really wanting more than nine
percent of the revenue share, which I understand because look,
(24:19):
the w n b A is on the upward trajectory, right.
We can all agree on that she's a driving force
behind that. But we got a young lady who tore
acl who's still in college Watkins, who's going to add
to that fanfare and and and and to that driving
force that are is going to raise the league up.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
So I can't imagine it being what we just saw
with Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Because it's happened, It's never happened before. It's hard to
repeat something that you know of that magnitude.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Again, it was like it was like Whend and Magic, right, right,
But you do to the point you can be in Jordan,
but it ain't gonna be.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It ain't gonna be. It ain't gonna be that. But
you hope maybe because of the elevation of Magic and
Bird that you can have a little Jordan situation with
her where she elevates it as well. He familiar there.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
The fact that it's happened already, right, the fact that
it's happened already. It will never be the same, but
now it just moves forward. So any player coming in
now they're just gonna move it forward.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I was going to go to the NFLPA stuff that's
been happening over last week or two. Uh, what the
heck is going on? You got nothing.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
This is a players Association as usual, right.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
You got Lloyd Hollin's hanging out with Robin, Magic City
and Tutsis and he's he's getting in all this trouble.
He's got to step down. We got the whole collusion Casey,
he was sitting on and others for six months not
telling the players where some of these quarterbacks might have
been getting some crazy guaranteed.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Money for them to turn in your union car.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
What's going on with you? And what they ever change
with They ever listen to folks like you and say
we got to do better.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
No, I think union the voices they listen to the
most are the current players. I remember being in those
meetings when I was playing, and they would come in
and they would phrase things like, you guys remember when
all the Hall of Fame guys were like, look, man,
we need you know, lifetime healthcare. And so the representatives
(26:21):
for the PA will come in and they would be like,
do you want higher salaries or health care for life? Well,
you can't. You can't, you know, submit something like that
to a bunch of current players when they're early twenties,
who who have never even ever thought about health care
(26:42):
because they've always had it. And then to take money
out of their you know, off their contracts, out of
their pocket, they're all they will always go for the
money now and and and not the money later. So
I just always thought the NFLPA had messaging problems, right,
(27:04):
messaging problems, because in a heartbeat, someone who's forty nine
years old, who hasn't had healthcare through the NFL in
well over a decade.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
What is it five years after you retire you get
year that's it? Correct?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I remember I remember being almost forty and getting a
letter and them saying, hey, your healthcare is over. And
I was like, well, what what does that mean. I
don't even know how to go get health care.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, they were like, go get your cobra going.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Yeah, I've been covered since I was twenty two years old,
and before that I was with my parents health care.
So it it's the messaging for me from the NFLPA
has always been a little offer. Especially you have to
be able to bridge the gap between current and past players.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
All right, let'sa Michael Parsons and of course Jerry Jones.
Remember you could be hip HOI a call. I forgot
that even so remember that, I mean like whatever that
has to do with whether or not you're going to
sign your star defensive player. But you could if I
signed you, you know, you could get hit by a car,
you could get cancer, you know, you could exactly like
(28:13):
what like like this is this is not surprising because
this is Jerry. He drags his feet and then eventually.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
He always rolls over.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
He from him because he did it with Dak prest C.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Yeah he did. But what he always does is he
always puts himself in a situation where it costs him
more than it actually. Right, how about you get this
done first in the off season, and now you don't
have to compete with the t J. Watt deal?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right?
Speaker 5 (28:44):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Now you set the market?
Speaker 5 (28:47):
Remember the CD lamb like this is a So look
I don't feel bad or sorry for him, because what
happens is he keeps walking himself into these situations where
he gets the brunt of it, and so you get
what you get. Man. Stupid is what stupid does if
you continue to do something over and over again expecting
(29:08):
a different result. What's that? What's that the definition of
a cowboy?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Fans?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm sorry, Look, look they've done it once again. They
know they have to sign them. They didn't trade them,
they weren't gonna trade them, they weren't gonna move up
in the draft. They knew they were gonna sign them.
So why would you wait to jase someone like JJ
Watt resets the market? Now you got a younger MICHAEH
(29:36):
Parton whose numbers are comparable since he's been in the league.
You can't possibly make his lawyer, I mean, excuse me,
his agent. You can't reason why he should be paid less.
And he has more tread on the tire that with
the similar impact.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, it's and you think he jumping from on one
of them. By now, let me just do it. By now,
I mean dump a brinks chuck in front of somebody, now,
so you know what.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
He did it and he didn't have to. You know
what he did it. He didn't have to, and maybe
that's why he doesn't do it anymore. When he signed
the hell yeah, well see that that ninety million dollar deal,
and he had two years left on his rookie deal.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
He from we only got a minute left. But the
Shador Sanders news coming out of the training camp is
not good. Like practice squad, maybe maybe released. It doesn't
sound like he's got some traction there, like they're going
to uh, he's going to win the job or let
him compete for the job. It just sounds it doesn't
sound good. What do you make of what's happened there?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
This is this is what and I said this before.
I think Kelvin, you and I talked about this. When
things start happening to players off the field. When players
off the field start putting themselves in situations before they've
even made a rockter, especially late round draft picks, then
the conversation is being had upstairs unbeknownst to the player
(31:04):
of k, do we can we cut him? Now? Can
we walk away from this?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Now?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Like all of that used to When you don't do
everything right, you're a fifth, sixth, seventh round draft pick,
and you're not doing everything right and you're, oh, by
the way, doing something wrong, those conversations start to happen.
And once those conversations start, once someone broaches that, then
it'll always be available. It'll always be there, all.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Right, sorry, right there, and that you can't have we
get we hear about the one speeding ticket, that comes
about another one and you already drafted fifth because people
thought you didn't interview well and yeah, you the last
thing you need is extra stuff, and it seems like
there's some extra stuff that's been happening to all right,
I appreciate you as always.

(34:54):
a couple people over the last couple of days. You
don't have to do some dodgers. They were like, tell
your partner. I was like, oh, I know, I got
a few of those tell your man's and I already knew.
I said what we actually, I didn't know. That's a lot.
I started thinking, Okay, dang, is it? Is it the Lions? Okay?
Is it the Chiefs?
Speaker 5 (35:11):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Is it w n B A oh Tani, that's what
it is. Yeah, tell him stop hating on o tany
know what they Yeah, I got a few of those, man,
I know. Tell you man, relax, take it easy on
Old Tony. Hey, y'all win your gods. The radio show.
It's going good man. We had a good groove. Me
and Rob Man. We're doing our thing. You know what
I'm saying. We're doing numbers on YouTube. You know what
I'm saying. Yeah, tell him take it and they ain't
(35:32):
got a relax on Old Tony. And then o'tanni went out,
you know, gave up a home run first in and
then bam that bat for him home run too.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Buxton with the home run for the Twins. And then
he's had a great Yeah. Yeah, he's got a great year.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Everybody healthy. You know, you're in baseball where you can
just buy people with the conversation is yeah, Bucks is
really good man. Yeah, playing the Dodger to go. Yeah,
the Dodgers might want to buy him, like during the Lions,
like you might be a Dodger next you're so good. Yeah,
let's see if we can get him. Like that's crazy,
But did you want to them a little bit there. No,
(36:05):
I'm just I'm glad they throwing up almost one hundred
on the I mean they were lucky to win that game.
I almost hit a home runner walk off the game
the Twins. Yeah, Carlos Alroy that was running.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Yes, Yeah, Tiger's down four nothing they are really.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Could have been won. If you touch the dag on
plate there.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
It's gonna be after if they lose tonight. Is that
eight out of nine?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah, they've been straight. So the teams we see him
three weeks dominating, they're all terrible. Yankees terrible.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
I mean like they've all been through their stretches. But
my goodness.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
And that's the thing about baseball, because this will give
us three weeks we'll be having the same conversation and
we'll be talking about how great they are.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Unless you're the Milwaukee Brewers, who have won like eleven
or twelve in a row, like they're rolling all right.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
What do you think of En Dominic and Sue Man
all of a sudden, just calling out out the blue,
by the way, talking about his second contract after this
rookie deal, Uh, that he should have made more than
Matthew Stafford. And you were there during those years.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
He was a tremendous player. But that's but that's not
what the league is. The league is a quarterbacks league,
and those guys have always got more money. I mean,
it's just it's that simple, you know what I mean.
I'm not a Stafford guy. I saw stat Patford, you
know what I mean, his whole career. I was there
from game one. I'm not a big Stafford guy. But
(37:24):
it's the nature. But you remember his last contract in Detroit.
When he signed it, he was the highest paid player
in the league, no playoff, Windy the highest paid.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
It's a position position. I don't even understand. He goes
on to say he being in Dominicans, who talking about that?
He so he got the short end of the stick.
And again he was incredible, But they had signed Matthew Stafford.
They signed Calvin Johnson to these huge extensions, of course,
while he was still in his rookie deal. What what
you know? What did he what did he expect?
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Just like the moral of the story is, dude, I
don't care how great TJ. Wadde is, he ain't gonna
be hot paid than the quarterback. Michael Parson is about
to break the bank. He's not gonna be paid then,
you know, the top quarterbacks on on. You know, that's
just the way this thing goes, and we always talk
about it. The next man up. There's always gonna be
somebody that we all kind of go who just got
(38:14):
out his money.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Exactly, Devin Booker seventy five million, really, and.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Devin Booker is a fine player, really good, but just
like because again, next, remember Mike Conley was the one
in there that was like the straw everybody in the
NBA went, We all like my made made an All Star.
Mi Colly is the nicest guy, but everybody was like,
all right, the buck stops here. This is getting crazy.
John Comkak don't get that. Remember that his nickname was
(38:40):
John Contract after he got that big deal, I thought
it was John con Whack. Yeah he was. He was
kind of whack, and I can't believe he was getting
that money. But yeah, I just saw Don Kitchu talking
about that. It's like, dude, come on, franchise quarterback perps
putting up numbers, whether you know, obviously he wasn't winning
a bunch, but putting up big numbers, you gonna do that.
But you know who else got paid, somebody else got
to paid a bunch of money, and but it's been
(39:01):
struggling a little bit, and you ain't been feeling the love.
You ain't been showing them love
