Speaker 2 (01:22):
But we are.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Without question, the most listener friendly national sports talk radio
show on the planet, at least when the people are
still away.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I'm sorry, man works, that's right. I keep forgetting you're
almost a stand up comedian. Almost right, just a little bit,
all right?
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Committed to memory eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
seven seven six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's right, and always remember.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The odd couple was filmed in front of a live audience.
Let's go big show and let me welcome with my
codes today. He is mister Ephraim Salaam who slept through
that awful Hall of Fame preseason game. I love football
(02:17):
like the next guy. I can't do it.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
I watched you watch seven minutes. Okay, you know what
I mean. I love football, but that I can't watch.
But you when you're you love good football.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I I tell people this all the time when they
think that you could just keep starting up football leagues
and people want to watch No.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, no, no, no no, the.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
NFL, the top players, that's what we want to see. Yes,
so we're not gonna watch some plays developed slowly and
these other guys, you know, playing on a Saturday during
baseball season.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'm supposed to care. Come on, I just can't do it.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I enjoy the fact that I applaud Let me just
say that, you know, the Spring Football League because I
think a lot of guys uh getting opportunities. You know,
some of those guys have made it back to the
pros or or made it to the NFL. And I think,
just like any professional sports, a form league is needed
(03:16):
because once you have those final cuts at the end
of training camp, you know, thousands of guys go sell
car insurance or work out and sit by the phone.
There's no other place for them to hone in on their.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Maybe they don't deserve to be in a pro football player.
How about that? That's yes, had to go to Canada.
Carmon went to Canada too.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, so if Canada wasn't there, Warmore was working at Chevron.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yes. At My issue is real simple.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
If you want to do that like a league, right, Okay,
make it a minor football league. Okay, and play in Springfield,
Illinois playing New Haven, Connecticut. Stop with the New York
Dallas like it's some real football league that I have no.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Problem with it. No, no, no, no, it's not. It's
it's manufactured.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
And then when you go and Michigan Panthers play with
the Lions playing three thousand people show up in that buildings.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Okay, I think that's not I get it.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Go to Ippsilanti, Michigan, right and playing it, go to
Ippsilanti and go to Albany, New York, go to New Connecticut.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
All right, all right, not baseball. Everything life revolves around
base just about. It's not baseball, all right.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
All I know is they got a baseball game in Bristol,
Tennessee on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
How many tickets they sold for that game?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Eighty five thousand tickets? Wow, And we're gonna get to that.
We're gonna talk about that. That's first playing there. No,
it's major League baseball.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
First. Let's welcome in the odd couple crew, because.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
We wouldn't be able to do this farm radio program
without him. Rob g is our producer, Alex is our engineer.
Steve the Sager's at the anchor. Steve and of course.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Never heard of him. I've never heard of him.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I never heard of him, never heard of them, never heard.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Of social media Google. So you don't ever give him
a last name?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Just Elijah, huh, Yes, but I don't do that. Just
everybody Alex, rob Gee, that's what people know them, ass,
you know what I mean? Yeah, And Elijah, Steve the
Sager is an anchorman.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You give his whole name, right, But I'm just saying yours, Rob.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Parker, that is Steve the Saga is a brand name.
You're right.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I have the new Steve the Sager collection of shirts
that I've been wearing. The floppy collar button up.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Very nice. Love, Steve Uh. Where are we going?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
We're gonna start, Rob g Uh with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And I'm not saying that I told you so, but
I told you do so.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
And I feel even stronger today than I did the
other day when I said that the Dallas Cowboys should trade.
Turn off your Micah Parsons. Okay, Rob g What what's
the news of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah. So Rob's been beating this drum for months now.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
In fact, we did this topic earlier this week where
Rob was a, hey, man, I think it's time for
Jarrah to trade Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Apparently Micah listens to the show.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Well, he wants to hear a quality program, not that
awful podcast that he does.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
So he put out a lengthy statement on Friday that reads,
in part, talking about his time in Dallas. Quote, Unfortunately,
I no longer want to be here in Dallas. I
no longer want to be held to closed door negotiations
without my agent president. I no longer want shots taken
and me for getting injured while laying on the line
(06:54):
for the organization, our fans, and my teammates. I no
longer want narratives created in bread to the media about me.
I had purposely stayed quiet and hopes with getting something done.
But no, don't let the door hit you on the
way out. That's why I feel like and you know what,
I get it for me. He's a great player. We
(07:15):
know that great players move on. Great players have been traded.
Sometimes you need to move forward.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
And one thing that Jerry has done his entire career,
he is the cave king. He's caved all the time
when it comes to these players. You know, he wait around,
wait around, and then he oh, yeah, you know you're
not doing that whatever, and any caves and gives Dak
Prescott sixty million dollars like he always caves. Jerry, none
(07:41):
of this has ever worked for you. And I got
news for you. As great as Michael Parsons is, you
cannot win the Super Bowl with Michael Parsons like you
have done the last few years. And you cannot win
the Super Bowl. You haven't done it with them, so
why can't you do it without them? Either way, you're
not winning the Super Bowl. What is the real difference.
(08:02):
I'm serious, and you know what, you could get a
haul for him and plug up those holes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
The cowboys have more holes than the golf course.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And I would be more than willing if I'm Jerry
Jones to do something different.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You want out, You'll regret this.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You don't want to play in Big d You don't
want to be a cowboy.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
All this stuff you.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Got, your podcasts and these commercials all come from being
with the Dallas Cowboys. Take your butt to Tennessee or
some other place and go see if you get all
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
If I'm Jerry, I'm putting on my cowboy boots and
I'm kicking ass and I'm telling Michael Parsons get out.
You don't want to be here. We don't want you here.
Good riddance a Riverdercy.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You didn't know I was bilingual? Digit yeah he from.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'm dead serious enough already, mean, I guess say it
with your chest.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I just got chest after that.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You all right, Look now, all of that ranting and
raving you've done, that's great. Now, the problem isn't Michael
Parsons in this. Michael Parsons has done nothing but excel
at the position he was drafted.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Did you watch the playoff game against the Packers at home?
Did you watch that? So, Michael Parsons, what I do know?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Did you watch that game?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
What I do know is an individual player is not
the sum of a game.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Do you know what I mean? Yes? I do, And
I love that. One game doesn't make I.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Didn't say one game, so go look at the first
Just what you do was just point out a game.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
All I'm saying is, but.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
What I'm telling you is in the league of in NFL, Well,
what do we what do we?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What do we know? We need? You need a quarterback, right,
you need a left tackle.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You got a sixty million dollars an edge rusher. Ok,
those are the three positions. We'll get a different You
have to have about a different one. He doesn't have
a podcast, who's not invested in stuff outside.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We're with Cincinnati, Cincinnati and Trey are having I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
About a guy who doesn't have a playocast, who's all
the way in, who doesn't go on his podcast and
rip his teammates and tell them that they're the reason
that they lost the playoff game and that he played well.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
So is that don't like him is because of the
podcast or because of his play on the field.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Both, all of it, all of it together.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
All I'm saying is you haven't won a super Bowl
with him, so you cannot win one without them. It's
just a simple As much as you want to believe
Ephraim that he's going to be the reason that they
don't win, I'm sorry, but Jerry has a thirty year
head start on Michael Parsons and it ain't gonna be
about him and the reason the Cowboys win or don't win.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Michael Parsons has been nothing but excellent for them. Okay,
so case in point, In four years, Michael Parsons has
fifty two point five sacks.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
How many wins? Dody that happen?
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Wait, wait he can't.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
You just went on a whole rampage about how Jerry
is bad at this thing called gmming by paying people
late and what you just want on a whole rent
about how Jerry is not up to snuff when it
comes to building out the roster and paying people when
(11:38):
they should and he waits and does all of that.
You can't put the onus on a player that the
Dallas Cowboys have been irrelevant for twenty plus years thirty
that has nothing to do with Michael Parsons.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So what it does have to do Michael Parsons is.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Show me how Michael Parsons at thirteen sacks and numbers.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But that's that's the metric. No, that's what it is.
Sports has a short no, no, no, no, no no.
And Rob would it matter?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Robert Whens and lost, Robert Parker, Robert Eugene Parker.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Robert that's Rob, Robert equanimious Parker, Robert Lee and I
would be like, oh.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Players, if Michael Parsons hadn't had double digit sacks in
each year, the first thing you would be talking about
are his stats. But because he has performed, he has
shown up. Thirteen sacks, thirteen and a half fourteen sacks,
twelve sacks, fifty two and a half sacks in four
years is what you draft someone in the first round
(12:44):
to do. He's answered that he did that, and he
gotta remember the first year they had him playing linebacker,
outside linebacker, inside linebacker. Put him over there, they didn't,
They didn't know what he was, and he still outperformed
there in eptness. So what I'm telling you as a player,
if you look at what he said, right, the negotiation
(13:06):
style that the that Jerry and Steven and the Dallas
Cowboy use is they tried to get him in a
room and negotiate with him without his representation. They just
he came in there to talk about something else and
they start talking about numbers and contracts. Shut that down
after but after he But what I'm saying is after
he left that that meeting, his agent was informed to
(13:29):
deal is all but done. When you don't run your
business like you supposed to run your business like other
successful franchises are running their business.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Then this is what you get. You gonna give you
can give me. That's what you're doing. You're a reporter.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I want to give you some reporting. And this is
according to a NFL media reporter, Jane Slater, the Cowboys
internally discussed the idea of trading michaeup two years ago
before Jerry shot it down. Slater added that Micael's t
comment on his podcast rubb teammates the wrong way and
that the team didn't always believe when he called himself
(14:08):
the leader of the team, and one coach even said quote,
nearly every player was in my office telling us we
needed to do something about him. That's that's from a coach,
an anonymous coach there who.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Says that there was you know what, guess when the
Dallas Cowboys could have got maximum value for Michael Parsons.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Take a guess what do you think he's that great?
He's a great.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Listen to what I'm saying. In all of your years
of covering the league and being in those rooms, the
room where it happens.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
During the draft, you could do it pre draft.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
During the draft is when you could have got a
king's ransom for a player of his caliber.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You could still do that.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Once again, what I'm telling you is they've missed me,
managed it, and they're not maximizing the value of the trade.
They're doing it all over again.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, It is the
odd couple. Should the Cowboys trade Michael Parsons? I say,
of course yes, Ephraim, of course, playing the player slacky.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What I'm the player slacky?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, that's what you are, you're ex player, and you're
gonna be on his side?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Right? Should they trade him?
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Or no? I think they should have traded him before.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
No, no, no, it's passed. The drafts passed. Should they trade
him now he wants out?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yes? Yes, Okay, we'll continue that conversation next with you.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
It is The Odd Couple, Rob Parker and Ephram Salam
and for Kelvin Washington right here on Fox Sports Radio, Stick.

to get to.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
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,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, you blubber list jam in me.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.

want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised. Well, if
you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you
check out over Promised and also uncensored, by the way,
so maybe we'll go at it even a little harder.

it on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen Over Promised
with Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It is the odd couple on a funky Flashback Friday
and achy knee stiff back joints not cooperating like you
played thirteen or fourteen years in the NFL. Some days
your body is just like nope. And on those days,
luckily there's a leave, just one pill. A leave provides
(17:30):
up to twelve hours of pain relief. So that you
can keep moving use as director. It is the odd couple.
On a funky flashback Friday, Rob Parker e from salam
In for kelvin Washington and telephone number eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. We're talking about, of course, Michael Parsons,
(17:54):
who has demanded the trade, requested a trade, whatever word
you want to use. The Cowboys have been slow to
pay him. They've done this a million times. And at
the end, Jerry always bends over I mean bends, I
should say, and pays.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Well, you own one to day. No, I'm just saying
he does.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
He always remember Emmon Smith's that set out a couple
of games. The Cowboys lost two games. Yeah, Jerry backed
up the Brinks truck for emmittt That was a bad deal.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Well, my question to you is, what's the point, Like,
what are we doing? What does he have to do it?
Like I'm gonna do it my way? Is it that
type of situation? I guess, But it's a bad way now,
you know, based on your reporting and your sources, you
know you read that guys on the team, don't They're
not vibing.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Not with all the other stuff. Right, It just seems
like it's uh the podcasts. He's different from Draymond Green.
You know what the difference is. Draymond Green actually had
already won some championships already before the podcast. A lot
of guys no, But I'm just saying, like you could
tolerate that, even though I think it's bad. But Mike
hasn't want anything cowboys and this guy's like creating. You remember,
(19:02):
let's name the top ten quarterbacks in the league, and
somehow he left off Dak Prescott, Like, I don't think
that that's where you want a team to be.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He didn't say is Dak Prescott? I don't think he is.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
But I'm just saying, but teammate putting out a podcast,
you want him to lie but absolutely or say, of course,
I'm not going to bring Dak. Is everybody excepted for
Dak that that's that's the way you get around it, right.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
But he is a kid though.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Emmittt in Olympia, Washington, you're on the eye couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What's happened to Emmett.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Rob Parker and e From how you guys doing this
doing great?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Nothing much?
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Good to finally talk to you, always good to talk
to you, Rob and I'll start with this. This is
the most Dallas Cowboys thing of all time. I'm not
really surprised that this happened. I mean, it's typical Jerry Jones,
and he did the business side of things very sketchy.
And I don't blame Micah Parsons for the way he
handled that. When he was talking about in his little
essay that he wrote, Oh the agent, My agent wasn't
there when I went to talk about like leadership roles
(20:01):
and all that, and they started negotiating the contract. To me,
that seems scummy because it seems like they were trying
to do something that maybe Micah Parsons wouldn't realize and
only an agent would realize, to try and maybe screw
him out of something.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
It just gives me a back.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well what a man? Don't you remember and stop me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
When Michael Parson said, rob g you remember this that
I'm not trying to break the bank.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I'm just want to be the cowboy. I don't get
Money's not that remember he did he did No, he
did all that without an agent. He was just talking
about how he was That's not negotiating.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Nobody was talking about how we if he would be
able to take he'd take anything just to stay money
and negotiating.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
No, I'm just saying, and it's.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Like going to court and representing yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Last thing. I go ahead, Oh sorry about that. We
cut you. We cut you off.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Drew in New Joysey. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Drew?
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Hey, guys, I think that if if kJ Walt gets paid,
he needs to get paid. Plus, he's a lot younger
than my In my personal opinion, I think he's better
at this point. Additionally, I don't think you can hold
what he did in the playoffs because that's our standard
that we do to anybody else. Like you think Lamar
Jackson is the best player in the league, but consistently
his worst game of the sea.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
No, My point is the difference is when somebody says
they don't want to be somewhere, like really, I'll show
you the door. If my wife or girlfriend or whatever
says she don't want to trust me, I'm not going
to convince you.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm not going to convince you to stay, is what
I'm trying to say.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
He said, I'm not said before they held money he
said he wanted to be there.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
No, he just put out a thing on social media,
which is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
And you know, you don't.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Even believe that he's a phony. And I'll get into that, lady.
He's a phone what an not even a p He's
a phone leverage here.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
He heard his own leverage by saying that is what
I'm saying. Any wise person would never mention any contracting
while you're you know, if you're a top market guy.
He did that because he wants to be there. It
was idiotic, but he still did it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, all right, Drew, I don't know. Rob just hates
Michael Parsons, that's all.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's It's just not my cup of tea. Absolutely right.
I would put poor milk in there.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
If your cup of tea was a quarterback, you surely
would hate Michael Parsons coming after that cup of tea.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I can tell you that. Oh that's fine. He's a game.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
All I'm saying is like people who win, I have more.
I'm willing to do more if you won.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, okay, problem is he can't win by him. I
understand that. What if that Dallas Cowboys, I.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Get that, But I'm just saying, but that's fine. But
with or without him, they haven't won.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
So you can move on from people like this whole
like you can't move on from Dak.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
That's why you got sixty million. Those are the mistakes
you make. Could you believe?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Oh, no, I can't let Dak go anywhere, So I
gotta sid No, Yes, you can let that go.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You hen, I know you mad at Jerry? Are you
mad at Micah? Like if you keep going back over.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
No, I'm just saying that at some point you have
for Jerry to stop doing the same miscidic So Jerry
should say you don't want to be in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
We'll take care of that collateral damage. You're mad at
Jerry and what they're doing to the organization.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, just to.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Illustrate your point, Michael Parsons has played in four playoff
games in his NFL career. He has a total of
four quarterback kids, one sack.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
And but is going to tell you how great he
is and he he's the difference maker. He hasn't done
anything in the postseason and they haven't done anything.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That's why I'm saying I could move on.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It ain't like he set the record in sacks and
in playoff games or something where you go, it really
wasn't his fault. He played is great, and he has
all these numbers. He don't have any numbers in the
postseason as great.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
As he is, better or worse without.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Him when the playoffs come with better when the playoffs
without him. Yes, all right, Steve, He's at the anchor.
That's who keep us updated.

it's a radio show.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Radio.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It will always pop up and be at the top
of your screen. Rob g we got a Lebron James
sighting and this is a typical Lebron. Did you see
Ephraim rob Gio explain what Lebron put out on social media.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Yeah, the summer of Lebron continues. It all started he
opted into that contract. Before he did, he had Rich
Paul put out his statement saying, you know, Lebron wants
to be for a championship. He knows Lakers built for
the future, understands that, but he values a realistic chance
of winning it all.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
And it was real murky and it's real awkward.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, since then, Lebron has done a couple of things
that have really raised some eyebrows. Number one famously has
not gotten involved with any of the free agent acquisitions.
It has been Luca and Austin Reeves leading the torch
on that. One second, he posts a video of him
working out in Cleveland and he has a hat on
it says welcome home.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Now it turns out that.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Just happens stance right, he just happened that was on
sale at the airport and that's why I bought it
and put it.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
In the cover.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Is that he's actually a hat from his good friend's
media company.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
So that was the cover for that one. But now,
yesterday Lebron James, as he'd been wont to.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Do, posted a slide show on Instagram of him working out,
because once you know he's about that work, he's about
the grind. But the first photo in that slide show
was his cut working out in front of a Clipper's logo.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Now, the cover for this one.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Though, rob real quick, is that it wasn't actually the
current Clippers facility. It's their old facility that Clutch Sport
currently owns and they just haven't changed the sign.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
So Lebron actually posted these pics, saw them and saw
the Clippers stuff behind them, and didn't think to hisself,
that doesn't look right, Like, why would I want to
be in front of Clipper stuff behind me?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
It is something or nothing Ron, It's something. Everything on
Lebron is something. He's very calculating, and he's always like
passive aggressive is absolutely Lebron instead of just coming out
and saying I'm mad. I'm mad that they don't consult
me about the Lakers anymore. I'm mad that this is
Lucas team. And uh, basically, I'm on food stamps at
(27:04):
fifty three million dollars because that's he's on NBA food stamps.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Now, that's what Lebron's on. Are you done? I'm done? Okay,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Look, Lebron James has been the key figure of social
media for the NBA. He came up in a social
media nice, very nice. He grew up in with all
of us, right, I get you on the subway in
front of in front of all of us. He is
(27:38):
a master at using it to stir up this.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
He loves. This is his thing. He loves to do this,
except for when he takes it down. When he told
everybody that where's the one he took down about Bronnie,
That Bronnie's better than fifty percent of the other players and.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
It's all part of the brig and they're out there there.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
There's disappeared what didn't disappear? Took it down?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I'm sure you screenshot it and put it in your
archives of hatred. I don't hate Lebron, but you don't
like him. I do not this whole idea. I don't
hate any boy.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You don't hate him. I don't like him. I don't
like what he does.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Don't you like the passive aggressive stuff, the blaming other people,
the feeling like he has to stack his team in
order to win.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Like those things, I don't look very admirably at. I
just don't.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
And look, I've seen other people struggle to get what
they have to get, uh, And it's satisfying when you win.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
The way I talk about Lebron now, for the last
seven years, people think I'm a Lebron fan.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I'm a I'm a Laker fan. Yeah, but there are
people who are Laker fans like you who can't wait
for him to get off the team. I have said,
there's one my cousin, Mike, and trade him.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I would be perfectly okay with that. I think Lebron well,
I don't think. I know his best days are behind him.
And you know, a lot during the last couple of years,
he's been a defensive liability. And I think in this
day and age of spreading the floor and playing strong
(29:22):
wing defense, Lebron James came. He gave us the championship.
I appreciate that that was number seventeen for the Lakers franchise.
I don't have a problem with him opting into his
contract because that lets me know we're moving on from
Lebron and probably Bronni as well.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I'm sure they'll be gone together. So Bannie being the
league is the question. I don't know. Once Lebron's not.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Well, I know he will be in the league at
least one more. Yes, I know that, so you know,
and I'm pulling for Bronnie. I think he has an
opportunity to come in and be that type of spark
off the bench where you can put some points up,
but you can all so you know, guard the wing
and so on and so forth. Like he's getting better
just watching him. Always had an opportunity to spend some
(30:09):
time out in the summer league, and just watching his
body has changed. His energy has changed, his aggressiveness has changed.
And that's all you can ask for out of a
you know, a second round draft picks, A bunch of
second round draft picks who just won't ever.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Make it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yes, being the son of Lebron James helps, But as
far as Lebron being cryptic and all of that. US
Laker fans, we don't mind that because we know there's
an expiration date on Lebron James's services with the Lakers.
I'm looking towards the future just like every other Laker fan.
And if they happen to catch on earlier this year
and make some waves, add a little bit more depth,
(30:49):
and they come out and they're in the top three
seeds going into the trade deadline, then we can you know,
roll it, roll it and see what happens in the playoffs.
But other than that, Yeah, Lebron James came here and
got us a championship.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Thank you. Okay, that's it.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I thought people expected way more in a couple of
years that didn't even make the playoffs. Remember he was
in the playoff mode activated or I thought.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah he did get hurt though. Yeah, for the first time.
He was in the chamber right getting ready for the
playoffs and we got down.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I think it's Jerry Curle activators what got activated because
it definitely wasn't playoff activation.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Definitely wasn't a Jerry Curl, That's right. Did you have one?
Did I have a curl? Jerry curl. No, it wasn't
born did you wasn't born in the sixties. Did you
have one in the sixties.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You know what I'm saying is by the time you
got as curl. What I'm saying so, and if you
were born in the sixties, in the eighties, you're in
your early twenties, that's when you would wear curl. You
wouldn't wear it as a teenager or as a toddler.
So if you were born in the sixties, by the
time the eighties rolled around, you would have an s curl.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
There were people I still have them. What are you
talk you act like did you have an No? Of
course I did not. You had a little permanal in
your hair? All natural, all natural? All right? Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I just felt like Jason Smith, Dad just threw the
number out and we're not taking call.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
No right now, I gotta say it. When you're born
in the sixties, all right? Coming up? You got a
little shekel City play today. All that and much more.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
It is the odd couple on a Funky Flashback Friday.
Rob Parker Ephraim Salaam in for Kelvin Washington, right, here
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Stick and stay. If you can read Rob G's teases
in the us of A did he have one? I
was looking for it.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
That sounded like a funky uh Bill Cosby open. You
know he had a variety show in nineteen seventy two.
You should see the open. It it's pretty funky. It
only lasted a year or so. You're going to have
Quincy Jones as the musical director. It was just weird.
A lot of dancing and whatnot. It was crazy.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Do you remember the Richard Pryor Show, Yes, that was
the greatest on NBC. Oh my god, I remember the
opening scene for Star Trek.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Yes, Star Wars Wars and he's at the bar. He's
the bartender. The guy comes in and he looks like
a octopus. He has like all these You remember what
he said, Yeah, you remember that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it
on the air because I'm trying to hold on to
this gig. You know what I'm saying. It is the
odd Couple.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Rob Parker from salaam Uh here on a funky flashback Friday.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Here on the Odd Couple. But first, let's do a
little Shekel City.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
day Dix against the Sprat.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
All right, so he from uh didn't go well last night.
It was only one to oh oh in one. I
should say it was only one late game that we
did a little Shekel City. My record is now and
one eighty eight, so eight games under five hundred.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So here we go.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
For tonight best bet, I'm taking the Angels hosting the
White Sox in Anaheim, Angels minus one and a half runs,
Padres hosting the Cardinals in San Diego. I'm taking the
Padres minus one and a half runs. And Arizona is
(34:39):
in Sacramento taking on the A's. But I'm gonna take Arizona.
I know they draded a lot of people away. I'm
still gonna take Arizona plus one and a half runs.
So there's the one underdog. I'm taking the d Bax
plus one and a half runs against the Sacramento A's.
I know they only call them the a so again
(35:01):
Padres minus one and a half and the Angels minus
one and a half. And remember, Ephraim, I'm not telling
you who to bet on. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I bet on. That's right. And now it's it's the
It's time for the tire Rack Player today. Thanks Fitch
and Stanton, high fly ball, deep lamp.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
That's getting done way olly here, it's funny rose up
sixteen with the two gun Homers, three nothing Yankees.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Whoom that's Dave Simms from the Yankees, A radio.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Network w f A N and more.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
The Player Today brought to you by ti Raq and
for more than a forty years, tire Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive. Ship fast and free back by free
Road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation. How about that tire rack dot com The
(35:56):
way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
April Robert and uh Trey Lance, let's go there. Okay, okay,
all right?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Played last night, rob g we got stats. All I
know is Jim Harball went crazy. I think that was
a Sultan battery if he didn't have on football pats.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Did you see that Jim Harball is always roughing up people?
What is that?
Speaker 5 (36:23):
He is a players coach who gets excited. He fits
that energy. You want that energy on the side.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
I thought for just a minute that he actually had
pimp slapped Trey Lance. I wasn't sure if that was
Rob Gee? What what did Trey Lance do that? Everybody's
so worked up and believe.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
Quote unquote big night for Trey it's with Jim College
against who thirteen of twenty for one hundred and twenty yards,
two touchdowns against the four string Detroit Lions. And one
thing that they did mention in this article is that
he did a great job of capitalizing on the short fields.
Because the Chargers forced five Lions turnovers on the night.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That's the Lions team that's not going to make the
playoffs this year. I just want to give your heads up.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Yeah, I'm I mean, I can't argue with that. Yet,
when you lose your courting, both your coordinator, that's a
big deal. Most people don't understand how big a deal
that is.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I agree, people are poo pulling it, discounting it.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Go look at the Eagles when they lost their two
after they went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
They weren't the same team. It's so hard. You always
have a year of.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Just just real learning a new system, and that the
mechanics of it is the nuance of it is so
great that it can set you back for a year.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
How about Trey Lance.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I mean we talked yesterday on the show, and Kelvin
thinks he's the biggest boss.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
I'm with Ryan Leave or sample sizes and thank you.
That was my argument that he didn't play enough.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
He played like three game teams and one was in
the reign in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You remember that. I'm like, how could you? What?
Speaker 4 (38:04):
What possibly was the bust? Whereas Ryan Leaf was a bust? Right,
He's still younger than sixty percent of Like, he's younger
than Michael Pennix. He's younger than the kid out in Denver. Like,
he's still a young football player who had one year
(38:25):
of college. I had to have my appendix taking out
Oh go ahead, Michael Pennix.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, Michael Penix, the consummate stand up comedian here trying
to find something. Well, look, I'm I'm happy for Trey
getting He's getting the opportunity to have experience. I know
it's preseason. I know it's against guys who may or
may not be on an NFL.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Rod did no chance. Could Smith. Of course he can
be Geno Smith because.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Gino Smith didn't look like he was going to do anything,
and somehow he went to Seattle and had a resurgence.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Baker Mayfield and you know, it's a bevy of quarterbacks
who just need the right type of situation. I think
this is good for Trey Lance. I think it was
too much, too soon for him. Uh, Kyle Shanahan made
something and it just didn't work.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
No doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
All Right, our number two, we're gonna do a little
bit more of the Michael Parsons and guess what, he's
a fraud.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's right, and always remember.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The odd couple was filmed in front of a live audience.
Let's go big show and let me welcome with my
codes today. He is mister Ephraim Salaam who slept through
that awful Hall of Fame preseason game. I love football
(02:17):
like the next guy. I can't do it.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
I watched you watch seven minutes. Okay, you know what
I mean. I love football, but that I can't watch.
But you when you're you love good football.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I I tell people this all the time when they
think that you could just keep starting up football leagues
and people want to watch No.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No, no, no, no no, the.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
NFL, the top players, that's what we want to see. Yes,
so we're not gonna watch some plays developed slowly and
these other guys, you know, playing on a Saturday during
baseball season.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'm supposed to care. Come on, I just can't do it.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I enjoy the fact that I applaud Let me just
say that, you know, the Spring Football League because I
think a lot of guys uh getting opportunities. You know,
some of those guys have made it back to the
pros or or made it to the NFL. And I think,
just like any professional sports, a form league is needed
(03:16):
because once you have those final cuts at the end
of training camp, you know, thousands of guys go sell
car insurance or work out and sit by the phone.
There's no other place for them to hone in on their.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Maybe they don't deserve to be in a pro football player.
How about that? That's yes, had to go to Canada.
Carmon went to Canada too.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, so if Canada wasn't there, Warmore was working at Chevron.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yes. At My issue is real simple.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
If you want to do that like a league, right, Okay,
make it a minor football league. Okay, and play in Springfield,
Illinois playing New Haven, Connecticut. Stop with the New York
Dallas like it's some real football league that I have no.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Problem with it. No, no, no, no, it's not. It's
it's manufactured.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
And then when you go and Michigan Panthers play with
the Lions playing three thousand people show up in that buildings.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Okay, I think that's not I get it.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Go to Ippsilanti, Michigan, right and playing it, go to
Ippsilanti and go to Albany, New York, go to New Connecticut.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
All right, all right, not baseball. Everything life revolves around
base just about. It's not baseball, all right.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
All I know is they got a baseball game in Bristol,
Tennessee on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
How many tickets they sold for that game?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Eighty five thousand tickets? Wow, And we're gonna get to that.
We're gonna talk about that. That's first playing there. No,
it's major League baseball.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
First. Let's welcome in the odd couple crew, because.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
We wouldn't be able to do this farm radio program
without him. Rob g is our producer, Alex is our engineer.
Steve the Sager's at the anchor. Steve and of course.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Never heard of him. I've never heard of him.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I never heard of him, never heard of them, never heard.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Of social media Google. So you don't ever give him
a last name?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Just Elijah, huh, Yes, but I don't do that. Just
everybody Alex, rob Gee, that's what people know them, ass,
you know what I mean? Yeah, And Elijah, Steve the
Sager is an anchorman.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
You give his whole name, right, But I'm just saying yours, Rob.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Parker, that is Steve the Saga is a brand name.
You're right.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I have the new Steve the Sager collection of shirts
that I've been wearing. The floppy collar button up.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Very nice. Love, Steve Uh. Where are we going?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
We're gonna start, Rob g Uh with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And I'm not saying that I told you so, but
I told you do so.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
And I feel even stronger today than I did the
other day when I said that the Dallas Cowboys should trade.
Turn off your Micah Parsons. Okay, Rob g What what's
the news of the day.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah. So Rob's been beating this drum for months now.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
In fact, we did this topic earlier this week where
Rob was a, hey, man, I think it's time for
Jarrah to trade Micah Parsons.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Apparently Micah listens to the show.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Well, he wants to hear a quality program, not that
awful podcast that he does.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
So he put out a lengthy statement on Friday that reads,
in part, talking about his time in Dallas. Quote, Unfortunately,
I no longer want to be here in Dallas. I
no longer want to be held to closed door negotiations
without my agent president. I no longer want shots taken
and me for getting injured while laying on the line
(06:54):
for the organization, our fans, and my teammates. I no
longer want narratives created in bread to the media about me.
I had purposely stayed quiet and hopes with getting something done.
But no, don't let the door hit you on the
way out. That's why I feel like and you know what,
I get it for me. He's a great player. We
(07:15):
know that great players move on. Great players have been traded.
Sometimes you need to move forward.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
And one thing that Jerry has done his entire career,
he is the cave king. He's caved all the time
when it comes to these players. You know, he wait around,
wait around, and then he oh, yeah, you know you're
not doing that whatever, and any caves and gives Dak
Prescott sixty million dollars like he always caves. Jerry, none
(07:41):
of this has ever worked for you. And I got
news for you. As great as Michael Parsons is, you
cannot win the Super Bowl with Michael Parsons like you
have done the last few years. And you cannot win
the Super Bowl. You haven't done it with them, so
why can't you do it without them? Either way, you're
not winning the Super Bowl. What is the real difference.
(08:02):
I'm serious, and you know what, you could get a
haul for him and plug up those holes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
The cowboys have more holes than the golf course.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And I would be more than willing if I'm Jerry
Jones to do something different.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You want out, You'll regret this.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You don't want to play in Big d You don't
want to be a cowboy.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
All this stuff you.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Got, your podcasts and these commercials all come from being
with the Dallas Cowboys. Take your butt to Tennessee or
some other place and go see if you get all
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I doubt it.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
If I'm Jerry, I'm putting on my cowboy boots and
I'm kicking ass and I'm telling Michael Parsons get out.
You don't want to be here. We don't want you here.
Good riddance a Riverdercy.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You didn't know I was bilingual? Digit yeah he from.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'm dead serious enough already, mean, I guess say it
with your chest.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I just got chest after that.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You all right, Look now, all of that ranting and
raving you've done, that's great. Now, the problem isn't Michael
Parsons in this. Michael Parsons has done nothing but excel
at the position he was drafted.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Did you watch the playoff game against the Packers at home?
Did you watch that? So, Michael Parsons, what I do know?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Did you watch that game?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
What I do know is an individual player is not
the sum of a game.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Do you know what I mean? Yes? I do, And
I love that. One game doesn't make I.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Didn't say one game, so go look at the first
Just what you do was just point out a game.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
All I'm saying is, but.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
What I'm telling you is in the league of in NFL, Well,
what do we what do we?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What do we know? We need? You need a quarterback, right,
you need a left tackle.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You got a sixty million dollars an edge rusher. Ok,
those are the three positions. We'll get a different You
have to have about a different one. He doesn't have
a podcast, who's not invested in stuff outside.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We're with Cincinnati, Cincinnati and Trey are having I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
About a guy who doesn't have a playocast, who's all
the way in, who doesn't go on his podcast and
rip his teammates and tell them that they're the reason
that they lost the playoff game and that he played well.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
So is that don't like him is because of the
podcast or because of his play on the field.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Both, all of it, all of it together.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
All I'm saying is you haven't won a super Bowl
with him, so you cannot win one without them. It's
just a simple As much as you want to believe
Ephraim that he's going to be the reason that they
don't win, I'm sorry, but Jerry has a thirty year
head start on Michael Parsons and it ain't gonna be
about him and the reason the Cowboys win or don't win.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Michael Parsons has been nothing but excellent for them. Okay,
so case in point, In four years, Michael Parsons has
fifty two point five sacks.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
How many wins? Dody that happen?
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Wait, wait he can't.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
You just went on a whole rampage about how Jerry
is bad at this thing called gmming by paying people
late and what you just want on a whole rent
about how Jerry is not up to snuff when it
comes to building out the roster and paying people when
(11:38):
they should and he waits and does all of that.
You can't put the onus on a player that the
Dallas Cowboys have been irrelevant for twenty plus years thirty
that has nothing to do with Michael Parsons.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
So what it does have to do Michael Parsons is.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Show me how Michael Parsons at thirteen sacks and numbers.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
But that's that's the metric. No, that's what it is.
Sports has a short no, no, no, no, no no.
And Rob would it matter?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Robert Whens and lost, Robert Parker, Robert Eugene Parker.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Robert that's Rob, Robert equanimious Parker, Robert Lee and I
would be like, oh.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Players, if Michael Parsons hadn't had double digit sacks in
each year, the first thing you would be talking about
are his stats. But because he has performed, he has
shown up. Thirteen sacks, thirteen and a half fourteen sacks,
twelve sacks, fifty two and a half sacks in four
years is what you draft someone in the first round
(12:44):
to do. He's answered that he did that, and he
gotta remember the first year they had him playing linebacker,
outside linebacker, inside linebacker. Put him over there, they didn't,
They didn't know what he was, and he still outperformed
there in eptness. So what I'm telling you as a player,
if you look at what he said, right, the negotiation
(13:06):
style that the that Jerry and Steven and the Dallas
Cowboy use is they tried to get him in a
room and negotiate with him without his representation. They just
he came in there to talk about something else and
they start talking about numbers and contracts. Shut that down
after but after he But what I'm saying is after
he left that that meeting, his agent was informed to
(13:29):
deal is all but done. When you don't run your
business like you supposed to run your business like other
successful franchises are running their business.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Then this is what you get. You gonna give you
can give me. That's what you're doing. You're a reporter.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I want to give you some reporting. And this is
according to a NFL media reporter, Jane Slater, the Cowboys
internally discussed the idea of trading michaeup two years ago
before Jerry shot it down. Slater added that Micael's t
comment on his podcast rubb teammates the wrong way and
that the team didn't always believe when he called himself
(14:08):
the leader of the team, and one coach even said quote,
nearly every player was in my office telling us we
needed to do something about him. That's that's from a coach,
an anonymous coach there who.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Says that there was you know what, guess when the
Dallas Cowboys could have got maximum value for Michael Parsons.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Take a guess what do you think he's that great?
He's a great.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Listen to what I'm saying. In all of your years
of covering the league and being in those rooms, the
room where it happens.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
During the draft, you could do it pre draft.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
During the draft is when you could have got a
king's ransom for a player of his caliber.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You could still do that.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Once again, what I'm telling you is they've missed me,
managed it, and they're not maximizing the value of the trade.
They're doing it all over again.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, It is the
odd couple. Should the Cowboys trade Michael Parsons? I say,
of course yes, Ephraim, of course, playing the player slacky.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What I'm the player slacky?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, that's what you are, you're ex player, and you're
gonna be on his side?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Right? Should they trade him?
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Or no? I think they should have traded him before.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
No, no, no, it's passed. The drafts passed. Should they trade
him now he wants out?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yes? Yes, Okay, we'll continue that conversation next with you.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
It is The Odd Couple, Rob Parker and Ephram Salam
and for Kelvin Washington right here on Fox Sports Radio, Stick.

Speaker 9 (16:14):
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,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, you blubber list jam in me.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.

Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

with Cadino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It is the odd couple on a funky Flashback Friday
and achy knee stiff back joints not cooperating like you
played thirteen or fourteen years in the NFL. Some days
your body is just like nope. And on those days,
luckily there's a leave, just one pill. A leave provides
(17:30):
up to twelve hours of pain relief. So that you
can keep moving use as director. It is the odd couple.
On a funky flashback Friday, Rob Parker e from salam
In for kelvin Washington and telephone number eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. We're talking about, of course, Michael Parsons,
(17:54):
who has demanded the trade, requested a trade, whatever word
you want to use. The Cowboys have been slow to
pay him. They've done this a million times. And at
the end, Jerry always bends over I mean bends, I
should say, and pays.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Well, you own one to day. No, I'm just saying
he does.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
He always remember Emmon Smith's that set out a couple
of games. The Cowboys lost two games. Yeah, Jerry backed
up the Brinks truck for emmittt That was a bad deal.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Well, my question to you is, what's the point, Like,
what are we doing? What does he have to do it?
Like I'm gonna do it my way? Is it that
type of situation? I guess, But it's a bad way now,
you know, based on your reporting and your sources, you
know you read that guys on the team, don't They're
not vibing.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Not with all the other stuff. Right, It just seems
like it's uh the podcasts. He's different from Draymond Green.
You know what the difference is. Draymond Green actually had
already won some championships already before the podcast. A lot
of guys no, But I'm just saying, like you could
tolerate that, even though I think it's bad. But Mike
hasn't want anything cowboys and this guy's like creating. You remember,
(19:02):
let's name the top ten quarterbacks in the league, and
somehow he left off Dak Prescott, Like, I don't think
that that's where you want a team to be.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
He didn't say is Dak Prescott? I don't think he is.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
But I'm just saying, but teammate putting out a podcast,
you want him to lie but absolutely or say, of course,
I'm not going to bring Dak. Is everybody excepted for
Dak that that's that's the way you get around it, right.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
But he is a kid though.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Emmittt in Olympia, Washington, you're on the eye couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What's happened to Emmett.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Rob Parker and e From how you guys doing this
doing great?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Nothing much?
Speaker 10 (19:40):
Good to finally talk to you, always good to talk
to you, Rob and I'll start with this. This is
the most Dallas Cowboys thing of all time. I'm not
really surprised that this happened. I mean, it's typical Jerry Jones,
and he did the business side of things very sketchy.
And I don't blame Micah Parsons for the way he
handled that. When he was talking about in his little
essay that he wrote, Oh the agent, My agent wasn't
there when I went to talk about like leadership roles
(20:01):
and all that, and they started negotiating the contract. To me,
that seems scummy because it seems like they were trying
to do something that maybe Micah Parsons wouldn't realize and
only an agent would realize, to try and maybe screw
him out of something.
Speaker 7 (20:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
It just gives me a back.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Well what a man? Don't you remember and stop me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
When Michael Parson said, rob g you remember this that
I'm not trying to break the bank.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I'm just want to be the cowboy. I don't get
Money's not that remember he did he did No, he
did all that without an agent. He was just talking
about how he was That's not negotiating.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Nobody was talking about how we if he would be
able to take he'd take anything just to stay money
and negotiating.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
No, I'm just saying, and it's.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Like going to court and representing yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Last thing. I go ahead, Oh sorry about that. We
cut you. We cut you off.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Drew in New Joysey. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Drew?
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Hey, guys, I think that if if kJ Walt gets paid,
he needs to get paid. Plus, he's a lot younger
than my In my personal opinion, I think he's better
at this point. Additionally, I don't think you can hold
what he did in the playoffs because that's our standard
that we do to anybody else. Like you think Lamar
Jackson is the best player in the league, but consistently
his worst game of the sea.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
No, My point is the difference is when somebody says
they don't want to be somewhere, like really, I'll show
you the door. If my wife or girlfriend or whatever
says she don't want to trust me, I'm not going
to convince you.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm not going to convince you to stay, is what
I'm trying to say.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
He said, I'm not said before they held money he
said he wanted to be there.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
No, he just put out a thing on social media,
which is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
And you know, you don't.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Even believe that he's a phony. And I'll get into that, lady.
He's a phone what an not even a p He's
a phone leverage here.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
He heard his own leverage by saying that is what
I'm saying. Any wise person would never mention any contracting
while you're you know, if you're a top market guy.
He did that because he wants to be there. It
was idiotic, but he still did it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, all right, Drew, I don't know. Rob just hates
Michael Parsons, that's all.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It's It's just not my cup of tea. Absolutely right.
I would put poor milk in there.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
If your cup of tea was a quarterback, you surely
would hate Michael Parsons coming after that cup of tea.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I can tell you that. Oh that's fine. He's a game.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
All I'm saying is like people who win, I have more.
I'm willing to do more if you won.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, okay, problem is he can't win by him. I
understand that. What if that Dallas Cowboys, I.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Get that, But I'm just saying, but that's fine. But
with or without him, they haven't won.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
That's my point.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
So you can move on from people like this whole
like you can't move on from Dak.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
That's why you got sixty million. Those are the mistakes
you make. Could you believe?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Oh, no, I can't let Dak go anywhere, So I
gotta sid No, Yes, you can let that go.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You hen, I know you mad at Jerry? Are you
mad at Micah? Like if you keep going back over.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
No, I'm just saying that at some point you have
for Jerry to stop doing the same miscidic So Jerry
should say you don't want to be in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
We'll take care of that collateral damage. You're mad at
Jerry and what they're doing to the organization.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, just to.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Illustrate your point, Michael Parsons has played in four playoff
games in his NFL career. He has a total of
four quarterback kids, one sack.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
And but is going to tell you how great he
is and he he's the difference maker. He hasn't done
anything in the postseason and they haven't done anything.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
That's why I'm saying I could move on.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
It ain't like he set the record in sacks and
in playoff games or something where you go, it really
wasn't his fault. He played is great, and he has
all these numbers. He don't have any numbers in the
postseason as great.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
As he is, better or worse without.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Him when the playoffs come with better when the playoffs
without him. Yes, all right, Steve, He's at the anchor.
That's who keep us updated.

it's a radio show.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Radio.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It will always pop up and be at the top
of your screen. Rob g we got a Lebron James
sighting and this is a typical Lebron. Did you see
Ephraim rob Gio explain what Lebron put out on social media.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
Yeah, the summer of Lebron continues. It all started he
opted into that contract. Before he did, he had Rich
Paul put out his statement saying, you know, Lebron wants
to be for a championship. He knows Lakers built for
the future, understands that, but he values a realistic chance
of winning it all.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
And it was real murky and it's real awkward.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, since then, Lebron has done a couple of things
that have really raised some eyebrows. Number one famously has
not gotten involved with any of the free agent acquisitions.
It has been Luca and Austin Reeves leading the torch
on that. One second, he posts a video of him
working out in Cleveland and he has a hat on
it says welcome home.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Now it turns out that.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Just happens stance right, he just happened that was on
sale at the airport and that's why I bought it
and put it.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
In the cover.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Is that he's actually a hat from his good friend's
media company.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
So that was the cover for that one. But now,
yesterday Lebron James, as he'd been wont to.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Do, posted a slide show on Instagram of him working out,
because once you know he's about that work, he's about
the grind. But the first photo in that slide show
was his cut working out in front of a Clipper's logo.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Now, the cover for this one.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Though, rob real quick, is that it wasn't actually the
current Clippers facility. It's their old facility that Clutch Sport
currently owns and they just haven't changed the sign.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
So Lebron actually posted these pics, saw them and saw
the Clippers stuff behind them, and didn't think to hisself,
that doesn't look right, Like, why would I want to
be in front of Clipper stuff behind me?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
It is something or nothing Ron, It's something. Everything on
Lebron is something. He's very calculating, and he's always like
passive aggressive is absolutely Lebron instead of just coming out
and saying I'm mad. I'm mad that they don't consult
me about the Lakers anymore. I'm mad that this is
Lucas team. And uh, basically, I'm on food stamps at
(27:04):
fifty three million dollars because that's he's on NBA food stamps.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Now, that's what Lebron's on. Are you done? I'm done? Okay,
thank you.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
Look, Lebron James has been the key figure of social
media for the NBA. He came up in a social
media nice, very nice. He grew up in with all
of us, right, I get you on the subway in
front of in front of all of us. He is
(27:38):
a master at using it to stir up this.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
He loves. This is his thing. He loves to do this,
except for when he takes it down. When he told
everybody that where's the one he took down about Bronnie,
That Bronnie's better than fifty percent of the other players and.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
It's all part of the brig and they're out there there.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
There's disappeared what didn't disappear? Took it down?
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I'm sure you screenshot it and put it in your
archives of hatred. I don't hate Lebron, but you don't
like him. I do not this whole idea. I don't
hate any boy.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You don't hate him. I don't like him. I don't
like what he does.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Don't you like the passive aggressive stuff, the blaming other people,
the feeling like he has to stack his team in
order to win.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Like those things, I don't look very admirably at. I
just don't.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
And look, I've seen other people struggle to get what
they have to get, uh, And it's satisfying when you win.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
The way I talk about Lebron now, for the last
seven years, people think I'm a Lebron fan.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I'm a I'm a Laker fan. Yeah, but there are
people who are Laker fans like you who can't wait
for him to get off the team. I have said,
there's one my cousin, Mike, and trade him.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I would be perfectly okay with that. I think Lebron well,
I don't think. I know his best days are behind him.
And you know, a lot during the last couple of years,
he's been a defensive liability. And I think in this
day and age of spreading the floor and playing strong
(29:22):
wing defense, Lebron James came. He gave us the championship.
I appreciate that that was number seventeen for the Lakers franchise.
I don't have a problem with him opting into his
contract because that lets me know we're moving on from
Lebron and probably Bronni as well.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I'm sure they'll be gone together. So Bannie being the
league is the question. I don't know. Once Lebron's not.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Well, I know he will be in the league at
least one more. Yes, I know that, so you know,
and I'm pulling for Bronnie. I think he has an
opportunity to come in and be that type of spark
off the bench where you can put some points up,
but you can all so you know, guard the wing
and so on and so forth. Like he's getting better
just watching him. Always had an opportunity to spend some
(30:09):
time out in the summer league, and just watching his
body has changed. His energy has changed, his aggressiveness has changed.
And that's all you can ask for out of a
you know, a second round draft picks, A bunch of
second round draft picks who just won't ever.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Make it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yes, being the son of Lebron James helps, But as
far as Lebron being cryptic and all of that. US
Laker fans, we don't mind that because we know there's
an expiration date on Lebron James's services with the Lakers.
I'm looking towards the future just like every other Laker fan.
And if they happen to catch on earlier this year
and make some waves, add a little bit more depth,
(30:49):
and they come out and they're in the top three
seeds going into the trade deadline, then we can you know,
roll it, roll it and see what happens in the playoffs.
But other than that, Yeah, Lebron James came here and
got us a championship.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Thank you. Okay, that's it.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
I thought people expected way more in a couple of
years that didn't even make the playoffs. Remember he was
in the playoff mode activated or I thought.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah he did get hurt though. Yeah, for the first time.
He was in the chamber right getting ready for the
playoffs and we got down.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I think it's Jerry Curle activators what got activated because
it definitely wasn't playoff activation.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Definitely wasn't a Jerry Curl, That's right. Did you have one?
Did I have a curl? Jerry curl. No, it wasn't
born did you wasn't born in the sixties. Did you
have one in the sixties.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
You know what I'm saying is by the time you
got as curl. What I'm saying so, and if you
were born in the sixties, in the eighties, you're in
your early twenties, that's when you would wear curl. You
wouldn't wear it as a teenager or as a toddler.
So if you were born in the sixties, by the
time the eighties rolled around, you would have an s curl.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
There were people I still have them. What are you
talk you act like did you have an No? Of
course I did not. You had a little permanal in
your hair? All natural, all natural? All right? Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
I just felt like Jason Smith, Dad just threw the
number out and we're not taking call.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
No right now, I gotta say it. When you're born
in the sixties, all right? Coming up? You got a
little shekel City play today. All that and much more.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
It is the odd couple on a Funky Flashback Friday.
Rob Parker Ephraim Salaam in for Kelvin Washington, right, here
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Stick and stay. If you can read Rob G's teases
in the us of A did he have one? I
was looking for it.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
That sounded like a funky uh Bill Cosby open. You
know he had a variety show in nineteen seventy two.
You should see the open. It it's pretty funky. It
only lasted a year or so. You're going to have
Quincy Jones as the musical director. It was just weird.
A lot of dancing and whatnot. It was crazy.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Do you remember the Richard Pryor Show, Yes, that was
the greatest on NBC. Oh my god, I remember the
opening scene for Star Trek.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Yes, Star Wars Wars and he's at the bar. He's
the bartender. The guy comes in and he looks like
a octopus. He has like all these You remember what
he said, Yeah, you remember that.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it
on the air because I'm trying to hold on to
this gig. You know what I'm saying. It is the
odd Couple.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Rob Parker from salaam Uh here on a funky flashback Friday.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Here on the Odd Couple. But first, let's do a
little Shekel City.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
day Dix against the Sprat.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
All right, so he from uh didn't go well last night.
It was only one to oh oh in one. I
should say it was only one late game that we
did a little Shekel City. My record is now and
one eighty eight, so eight games under five hundred.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
So here we go.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
For tonight best bet, I'm taking the Angels hosting the
White Sox in Anaheim, Angels minus one and a half runs,
Padres hosting the Cardinals in San Diego. I'm taking the
Padres minus one and a half runs. And Arizona is
(34:39):
in Sacramento taking on the A's. But I'm gonna take Arizona.
I know they draded a lot of people away. I'm
still gonna take Arizona plus one and a half runs.
So there's the one underdog. I'm taking the d Bax
plus one and a half runs against the Sacramento A's.
I know they only call them the a so again
(35:01):
Padres minus one and a half and the Angels minus
one and a half. And remember, Ephraim, I'm not telling
you who to bet on. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I bet on. That's right. And now it's it's the
It's time for the tire Rack Player today. Thanks Fitch

Speaker 5 (35:20):
That's getting done way olly here, it's funny rose up
sixteen with the two gun Homers, three nothing Yankees.
Speaker 4 (35:28):

(35:56):
way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
April Robert and uh Trey Lance, let's go there. Okay, okay,
all right?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Played last night, rob g we got stats. All I
know is Jim Harball went crazy. I think that was
a Sultan battery if he didn't have on football pats.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Did you see that Jim Harball is always roughing up people?
What is that?
Speaker 5 (36:23):
He is a players coach who gets excited. He fits
that energy. You want that energy on the side.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
I thought for just a minute that he actually had
pimp slapped Trey Lance. I wasn't sure if that was
Rob Gee? What what did Trey Lance do that? Everybody's
so worked up and believe.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
Quote unquote big night for Trey it's with Jim College
against who thirteen of twenty for one hundred and twenty yards,
two touchdowns against the four string Detroit Lions. And one
thing that they did mention in this article is that
he did a great job of capitalizing on the short fields.
Because the Chargers forced five Lions turnovers on the night.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That's the Lions team that's not going to make the
playoffs this year. I just want to give your heads up.
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Yeah, I'm I mean, I can't argue with that. Yet,
when you lose your courting, both your coordinator, that's a
big deal. Most people don't understand how big a deal
that is.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I agree, people are poo pulling it, discounting it.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Go look at the Eagles when they lost their two
after they went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
They weren't the same team. It's so hard. You always
have a year of.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Just just real learning a new system, and that the
mechanics of it is the nuance of it is so
great that it can set you back for a year.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
How about Trey Lance.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I mean we talked yesterday on the show, and Kelvin
thinks he's the biggest boss.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
I'm with Ryan Leave or sample sizes and thank you.
That was my argument that he didn't play enough.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
He played like three game teams and one was in
the reign in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You remember that. I'm like, how could you? What?
Speaker 4 (38:04):
What possibly was the bust? Whereas Ryan Leaf was a bust? Right,
He's still younger than sixty percent of Like, he's younger
than Michael Pennix. He's younger than the kid out in Denver. Like,
he's still a young football player who had one year
(38:25):
of college. I had to have my appendix taking out
Oh go ahead, Michael Pennix.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, Michael Penix, the consummate stand up comedian here trying
to find something. Well, look, I'm I'm happy for Trey
getting He's getting the opportunity to have experience. I know
it's preseason. I know it's against guys who may or
may not be on an NFL.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Rod did no chance. Could Smith. Of course he can
be Geno Smith because.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Gino Smith didn't look like he was going to do anything,
and somehow he went to Seattle and had a resurgence.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Baker Mayfield and you know, it's a bevy of quarterbacks
who just need the right type of situation. I think
this is good for Trey Lance. I think it was
too much, too soon for him. Uh, Kyle Shanahan made
something and it just didn't work.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
No doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
All Right, our number two, we're gonna do a little
bit more of the Michael Parsons and guess what, he's
a fraud.
