Rob and Kelvin discuss how the Baltimore Ravens’ decision to release embattled All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker serves as a friendly reminder that NFL teams will only put up with a player’s problems if his production level is still high, tell us if the upcoming Canelo-Crawford super fight has the potential to ‘save’ boxing, preview tonight’s Game 1 between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, and take a trip out to Shekel City for Rob’s nightly bets.

And by the way, from now on, I'll be going
by ron G. I E forgot he's Ranji for the
rest of the day. Why are you ronjy?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Because somebody tweeted us and he was like, hey man,

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I was like, whoa brother?
Speaker 5 (02:26):

Speaker 6 (02:38):
If I could push the button right now, I would
you know what I'm thinking?

there smirking.
Speaker 3 (02:53):

Rob G. Ron Gie been back for eleven minutes, Max, But.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I'll tell you this.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
When Mary came in the door and saw ron G
or whatever you want to call it, is ron for
the day, that reception was off the charts.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
She hugged him. I came in and I was like,
rob G, Oh my god, it was one of those
I was like, okay, nice, it was so nice. Now
it's great. I have so much cheeseman that I've been
holding on too. It's all good, ron Gie. You were missed.
(03:36):
You know. He's feeling good.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
First day at school, Rob he got his fresh little
hair cut and cut his own hair, his own hair
to save money.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I'm finna kill him today.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I'm gonna go Rob G real quick, ask you real quick,

I didn't realize how much I got on her nerves, right,
And because is she listening?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, okay, good misses. This radio.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Listens because you're rational, Robgie, so you're probably be like, well, baby,
why don't we just take the sixth Street, because then
if we do that, we can get there by three.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
They don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear.
How dare you coming with some rationality?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Like Chris Rock said, a woman aint gonna let a
little logic getting away of her argument you want to
be logical.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
And now now the big thing is because I got
a ten year, ten year wedding anniversary next month, is
you know our ten years coming up? It's like anytime
I do some bad, you know our ten years coming up?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Is that her way of saying you might not make it? No,

eve of our That's funny. I've never heard that. Unbelievable.

A lot of stuff to get to, a little Shekel city.
Brad Turner our number two covers of course the Lakers
and Clippers, La Times. Uh yeah, he's always somewhere, and
then our number three, Mark Stime, Fox Sports Radio, NBA Insider,
the Stein Line on Substack and Last Call. So there's
(05:30):
a lot to unpack, a lot to do, but we
do have to start the show, and we should welcome
in the odd couple. Kupcause you're gonna be able to
do this fine radio program without him. Rob G is
our producer, Steve the Seger's at the anchor desk.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He'll keep us updated throughout the program. How did you
survive that bomb?
Speaker 4 (05:51):

in the business, and of course on the ones and twos.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
And I'm not gonna bring up the that I won
the uh, you're not play what you just brought up,
and that I don't have the sneakers here.
Speaker 1 (06:12):

if I gave you a full two hundred the whole
I gave two hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
So he got a gift card if you have a
gift card to Nike gift card which also goes to Jordan's.
Speaker 3 (06:23):

me to do?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I cried, Hey, y'all got the Metro Retro eleven, hold on,
please hold all way out. Next person called the other one,
hey hold on please no, and we're not even gonna
restock him.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So then you just said, let me just get a
gift card.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It was either that you an't gonna get theim to
like Father's No, I appreciate it. Thank good MANE. I
got you all right, we're back. We're gonna find another
one to bet on. Will other than the Lions making
the playoffs came with rober You got that written down right, Yeah,
but that's a Wings bet.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
We got that already set. I'll give you another opportunity.
There'll be some other team that was worth Wings. We
didn't we have a.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Bet on the NBA Coach of the Year because I look,
let me tell you something, I will never bet on what.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, we bet on the quarterback MVP. No we didn't.
Oh no, no, what did we bet? We didn't bet it?
We bet? Yeah, let's go we did not.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
All right, let's go here the news of the day,
Rob G can you set the table for us?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Haven't even been back for ten minutes and I'm already
sitting the table. Yes, big news of the day, even
though it is the NBA postseason. Leave it to the
NFL to steal the headlines once again. That is because
the Baltimore Ravens earlier today released eight time All Pro
statistically the greatest kicker in NFL history, Justin Tucker.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
He is now no longer with the Baltimore Ravens. This
should come as no surprise.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Let's just say, Adam Veniti because he made so many
big kicks. I'm not saying I know what you're talking
about statistically, but Adam, there's no Tom Brady without.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Those three Super Bowl winning.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Kick That's fair, right, Yes, So the reason why this
shouldn't come as surprise to you if you're a football fan.
Number one, the Ravens drafted a kicker in the draft,
so you kind of saw this coming. But number two,
and probably most importantly, Justin Tucker has been accused of
inappropriate behavior by sixteen different massage therapists from eight different
Baltimore areas. There is a cloud hanging over the Tucker
(08:16):
name right now, and as a result, he is no
longer a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Are you sure about that? Because that's not the way
they positioned it, robb Gi. They kind of positioned it. Oh,
you know, roster's full. We gotta make tough roster decisions.
And you know they didn't positioned it like that, Robs.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
They don't have to position it like that because A
there's a couple of ways that they get squeezed. Squiz
what no, I was gonna say, squirming out of this,
And I was trying to say, squirming out of this.
They have a couple of weeks. Ay, he cast him
about three games last year. He was bad, and maybe
it was because he knew the other shoe was going
to drop and he was waiting and waiting, you know
(08:57):
what I mean? And I do believe that that's part
of it. And then they did go out and drive
somebody else. And I think that's why they're able to
do that and say it's a football decision because he
didn't play that well last year. But there's no doubt
in my mind that this is over the cloud hanging
(09:18):
over his head, which is massage gate. This is all
about massage gate. And I don't understand it. I really don't.
And you know, he came out. Remember when the story
came out from the paper, because it's not the Baltimore Son,
it's like another paper that people didn't know about. Remember
we had talked about this. I said, let me tell
(09:39):
you something the printed word. I said, a no story,
and go through lawyers before they put that accusing a
man of a situation like that. Okay, so that story
was vetted, They went through everything.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
They have all the logs.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
When they told him he was not welcomed there, it's
all documented. It's not even like, oh, yeah, came by
and we thought he was a freak and we told
him to leave.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
No, it's documented when they told him what.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Date, when they told him not to come back, and
that his behavior was inappropriate, and so on and so
on and so on anyway. He claimed that it had
nothing to do you know that this was false and
made up or whatever, and the Ravens just this too much.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
So then there's always this dilemma. Is it morality morals
versus football? Where are you?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Here's a guy who is very inappropriate with women. Is
that who you want to wear your uniform? Represent your
organization right, because it's not just you, And there's been
times when they've turned their heads for people who are stars.
And don't forget Kobe was involved in a rape case
(10:53):
and play and continue to play. That would never happen today.
But he's flying on the Lakers team, playing back and
forth to games. He won't suspended by the league like
it was. And you're innocent into proven guilty, no doubt.
But you could also say it's time to step back
and let me handle this and get my name cleared
and then I'll come back kind of like where Shannon
(11:15):
shot right, Like the same thing. He's still doing his
own entity, right, That's how I guess he lives and
feels like. But he works for Disney and works for
somebody else and with the ESPN. Rather than have them
tell him you, let's just take a let's just take
a pause and then we'll come back and and hopefully
it's just settled and I can resume my analyst job
(11:38):
in that case. But I guess my point is I
applaud the Baltimore Ravens because at some point just because
you can play ball should not be the reason why
an organization should accept behavior and allow you to continue.
(12:00):
Doesn't mean that you can't go work somewhere else, but
we would rather you not work here. And that's really
what it is.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
They didn't.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
They didn't make a It wasn't a damnation like, oh
he did this, and we there's nothing there about.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
That they know of the investigation, but they didn't go
that far. I'm called with it. I have no issues.
My only issue is.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Or it would have been a more interesting conversation had
we seen what you're referring to see if this was
justin Tucker of three years ago and this comes out
where he's, as Rob g said, best kicker ever. He's
just amazing, mister Klutch. You know what, he's gonna make
all these big kicks, then it would have been amazing
to see. Had they said, you know what, this is
too much, we're gonna move forward, But it's easier to
(12:44):
do now because he sucked last season and he's older,
and it's easier to move on because all this drama.
I would have been more compelled to be like, Wow,
the Baltimore Ravens really mean business on a moral level
had they did this, like I said, two, three, four
years ago, when he was still in his peak, still
in his prime.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, but this wasn't available to them.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Right, So I'm saying it doesn't easier, So I'm saying
it's easier to do so now. And I think historically
in the NFL, what we have seen is the opposite.
We've seen where you can name the thing where the
guys user drugs, selling drugs, beating women, throwing women on guns,
Greg Hardy, and they continue to get work. And you've
heard me say this, and you will hear me say
until I feel proven the other way. You can do
(13:26):
anything as long as you don't kneel. That was the
one thing you could.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
But I can give you a great example of somebody
who was in his prime, who had just won a
cy young and he cannot get work in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Trevor Bauer. Oh yeah, but I'm talking about the NFL.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah, but I'm saying, like Trevor Bauer the Dodgers, you
know how much money they ate and the whole case
and whatnot. You know, there's all kinds of murky and
he never got charged or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
But Dodgers still, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You know about Trevor Bower though, No, I'm just he's
these most people perceive. I'm they dislike him. No, he's
very difficult. Yeah he's good, he's slid. Could have been
a round.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I'm just said, but but but but he won to
saw Young just the year.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Before and hours went down once some balls wasn't juiced
to know what I mean. So that's another whole thing
with him. But absolutely Trevor Bayer, he was like, I'm
not gonna put up with that guy and put our
name out here in a reputation for guy we don't
even know.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
And I'm not surprised, like the Dodgers to me like that,
or you're not wearing our uniform with the organization of
Jackie Robins and we'll eat the money.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
They ate a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
They did, but yeah, absolutely, just to get rid of it.
So so to conclude on this, the Baltimore Ravens, to
your point, have proven to be usually at least it
seems a stand up organization. They haven't had a bunch
of you know, drama if you will. As he knew,
he was there doing great things for a long time.
So they have proven to be that, and it becomes, yeah,
(14:52):
it becomes very difficult though, because of the part we
just said, innocent into improving guilty, and that becomes challenging
for jobs and for business in organizations. Right, how do
I give them the leeway to go through the legality
of it? You mentioned Kobe with also saying this doesn't
look good for us? Is the difference, Kobe Bryant bad
(15:15):
as the situation was, it was one person, he said,
she said, versus what is it sixteen people? In this
case it was thirty forty with Deshaun Watson, sixty with
Bill Cosby. I'm just saying, like the numbers are so wing.
I think when you get there, it ends up becoming
possibly a swear. There's smoke, there's fire. So if there
were one woman, maybe two, or just one particular spot,
(15:35):
you could say it was a misunderstanding.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So he said, she said, with one person, but you
cannot tell me that sixteen women different places over a
four year pop and they have all the documentary, all
of it documented.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
We asked them not to come here anymore. So then
that tells me there's issue and this is why they
do it. But I do I can at least understand
from time to time where organizations are all right, Look,
I don't know what to do. It's one woman. He's
telling us it's a lie. I did this. She's saying
he did. How do we handle that because we want
to give him the Grayson leeway to play it out.
(16:08):
But on the flip side, this looks bad, so it
becomes very difficult. But when you have sixteen folks eight
different locations, I think think it makes it easier.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Choice, all right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
on This Magic City Monday, did the Ravens make the
right move by releasing kicker Justin Tucker? Where do you
stand on morality versus football in the NFL.

(17:15):
All right, the news was justin. Tucker was released by
the Ravens. They made it as if it was a
roster and a difficult decision. They didn't really touch on
the allegations moro versus football decisions. That's what we're talking about.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Who we got
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
With Robert and Georgia. You on the eyd Couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Robert?
Speaker 7 (17:34):
It's way tell you that whole up so good you.
I'm blessed man. I wanted to really say I appreciate
y'all for touching this subject, because I was scrolling through
ex Twitter whatever they call, and I even being on
like just watching regular TV, I've seen nobody attempt to
touch this subject, and just and generally I appreciate y'all
(17:55):
for touching the subject because a lot of people shot
await from me and I just I main question, more
than in fact you think he deserved to keep up
a team, was why isn't this getting the same coverage
as Deshaun Watson, Which I understand you're not a quarterback,
but still he's the same amount of allegations and then
nobody even covered just like it's being swept in the
road like it's just another day and so.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Well, not on the odd couple. As you know, Robert,
you've been listening for a long time too.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, a couple of things real quick, we leave the
show with you, I mean, we're leading our show with it,
and Rob and I had covered this. This is probably
the third time since this all broke out with him.
And answer your question, Robert, thank you for listening for
the call. One of the reasons we we kind of
talked about was the perfect timing of the allegations for
on his end, meaning it was literally right after the
(18:40):
Ravens guy knocked out of the postseason, and it was
kind of a weak or week or so later, give
or take, and he's out of He's not He's Pat
Mahomes out of the playoff where we're still gonna talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Was it enough? Why was he ever win a Super
Bowl again?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Him being in the background, being the kicker at a
bad season, as we talked about, that helped him. Deshaun
Watson was white hot at the time, the star quarter
our quarterback MVP candidate at that time.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
No doubt Andrew in Tennessee. You're on the couple of
Fox sportuating what's up Andrew?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Uh, not much, buddy, A long time listener.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
I will say, I feel like I feel like a
lot of it has to do with football.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
The dude was trash last year. He cost them three games.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But I mean, when you you watched the games, Andrew
cost them three games. They played Pittsburgh and he missed
like two kicks in that game and they lost by
what a couple.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Like two to two? I think it was two to two. Yeah,
any kick, any kick that came up over fifty it
was a toss up, and he used to be absolute
money from.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
A I was I was in Detroit when he kicked
that sixty What was it, I'm sorry, fifty two or something?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Sixty two or three yard of rob g what was that?
Sixty three? Sixty two? I was at that game? Thank you,
I know, thank you, I saw it all right. Thank you.
A great point with that, though, rob that appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Is that stuff on his brain knowing it's coming because
because we have seen Deshaun Watson, because he Tiger Woods
wasn't right, because.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You know it's out there like like that. They don't
just write the story. They came and as he heard
this comment exactly, so you know that there's brewing and
working on the story. Nobody, nobody where a story comes
out of nowhere because they got a.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Contact content at job. Somebody go call hey, man, I
got a call from the you know, the uh this
law firm or this this newspaper.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You're they're gonna know, Andrew, I mean Andrew Andre in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
You're on the odd couple. I'm having trouble talking today. Listen.
He got out of school. School got out last week.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You ain't been right since jumping in chairs, Robbie did
you see this man jumping in chairs?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You see me trying to help, jumping on tables. He
ain't gonna make it six years. I might be in
the hospital for the last four and we're doing it.
Rob Gi. I'm okay, I'm in a full casking, but
my moth works.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Andre in Massachusetts, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
How you doing. Thanks for taking the call. It's a
good time for the college students and the college professors
right now. Class is finishing up. Yes, yes, off into
the sunset the high school folks. We got a little
bit of ways to go. But in the Northeast. You know,
the weather's just turned around, right, don't.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You don't get out until like June, right until late June?
Speaker 8 (21:06):
Yeah, mid June, Miss Jude Way.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
You're a teacher, yes.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
Indeed, Yeah, yeah, man.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Congrat I love that man. That's beautiful. I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Drake sports and U sports in history, you know that's
my passion. But specific to Justin Tucker, as the other
callers have said, he only made seventy three percent of
his field goals last year. Okay, and he missed ten total,
which is the most since twenty fifteen for he missed seven.
So the production, the production on the field hasn't been
what it was in years past. B And then a
(21:35):
elephant in the room is these allegations. And I think
you guys are onto something. He heard the footsteps, the
stuff that's going on in the background. He knows it's coming.
It's going to break out at any particular time. And
for any position on the football field, quarterback is the
most important position in football and arguably all the sports.
But for kickers, your mental has to be right. You
have to be in that zone. You have to have
(21:55):
that zen to be able to believe you can go
out there and execute under pressure. And he clearly didn't
have it this year. And I think that there is
a correlation between what was going on in his personal knight.
You know, he projects himself as this family first conservative you.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Know, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Then that that makes even when when you have that
forward facing, you know, righteous persona and then you know
that there's some cracks in the in the armor that
can even make any more of a situation. So those
things combined, Ravens move forward. You're bringing the kicker for
the future. And and that's that no doubt.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
And now I do want to say buddy Lomas Brown
just textas he listens to the show to Lomas and
he said it was it was a sixty six yarder.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Tell Lomas, I said, Lomas, me and you we're supposed
to be remember now. No, no, no, Lomas, thanks for corrected.
I mean you know here, I am trying to difference
what that's a big difference. That's why I know it
was like a crazy kick. I didn't know Lomas is
listening to six sixty six years said it was a
twenty six yard I ain't that.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Everybody makes twenty six yard field goal sixty six? I'm sorry.
And also Rob G real quick? Uh the tweet? Who
was called you?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah yeah, ron Gy? Right ron Gi Michael Thompson. He said,

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Let's talk about the fight. Are you excited? Finally, let's
get to you and Rob G. I know y'all have
way bigger fight fan. I used to cover boxing, but.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
That leads to the conversation and boxing. What what has
happened to boxing? With so many bad fights and all
that real or non fight Like, oh no, they way
it too late?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Like like seriously, and you're talking to a guy who
covered boxing for the Detroit Free Press.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I was in Vegas all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I was there with the ear biting and the parachuting
guy came back.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I mean I was at a lot of these fights.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I think I told you before one of the all
time greats uh was. I was covering a fight at
the Palace of Auburn Hills and a fighter has another
fighter in the in the corner and he's, you know,
working him over like a bargain fries And the guy
looks and I'm sitting there right at ringside. He looks
(24:37):
right down at me and says, hey, Rob, what's up?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
How are you doing?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
And he's talking to me while he's hitting, while he's
hitting the hitting guy and the doctor who's right next
to me, because you don't I have a doctor. The
doctor's like, I've been covered. I've been doing fights for
forty years. I've never seen a fighter talk to.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
A sports writer during the fight.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
He looked down at me and reckon that, Hey Rob,
going on that, Uh, clearly you're beating him up? What's
going in my book? I gotta look it up. I
can't I think with somebody from the d Yeah, and
he reckonized me like just sitting there. But anyway, well, yeah,
(25:19):
back to the fight. So Rob, g you wanna?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I mean, looks like we're gonna finally get Canelo on Crawford, right, Yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's kind of piggyback of what you guys just mentioned.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
This was supposed to be a great weekend for boxing
because you had what they were calling the four Kings
of the current Era all fighting the same weekend, three
of them Friday night in Times Square, Canelo fighting on
Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Every single fight was terrible to
a point where I think three of the fights ranked
in the bottom five of total punches thrown in company
(25:48):
box history. That's how bad it was. So Thankfully, at
the end of the Canelo fight, we got the big announcement.
Everyone's waiting for it, Canelo versus Crawford coming up this September,
Tember twelfth in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Your thoughts. It's funny.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I'm going to Vegas the weekend before excepteber Seinfel September
twelfth on a Friday night to avoid the college football season,
because they're fighting at a agent stadium.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
That makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, but boy boxing used to push everybody out the
way back in the day. We don't give a day
one no college football.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Whatever they would They wouldn't look at a schedule to
see what Jimmie Wee boxing.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
This is Tyson uh and Tyson and Foreman and Evander
Holyfield or you know these big fighters, Roy Jones Junior.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
When we fighting, y'all watch it, man, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Fights used to be like the Super Bowl rob People
who didn't even care were.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Y'all watching the fight tonight? Everybody went, who are you
doing to fight? Party?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Used to be such a big deal when I was
a kid, to my teenage year to my early twenties.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Then it just started fading.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
So with that being said, I believe this is one
of the few fights that kid reignite. I don't think
the fight game will ever come back to what it
used to be, partly because Rob's I don't think we
have heavyweights anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
To see a Tyson fight.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Dude, I was a kid when he was, you know,
first reigning Supreme, and I just remember that being such
a big deal. Eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty nine, ninety
Like I'm a kid, like, oh shoot, Tyson, it was
a huge.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Then he comes back out of retirement.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
But even before that, you had George Foreman starting to
do his thing again, and you had Michael Moore and
Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis and all these guys man,
and it was just it was like those were maga fights.
Then you had still had the Roy Jones juniors and
all that. This will not this will reignited a bit.
I don't think we'll ever go back to the to
the golden era, of course not. But if you get
(27:39):
these two still relatively in their primes, both a little older,
especially Crawford. You than you would have hoped it could
be something Rob Geez, is Erol Spence gonna have for
a fight again. No, So potentially this is the only
fight we really really really want. I mean my missing
one is there one with tank I on.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
We want to see all the one that we really wanted.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
You know, if you're a real fight, you wanted Benavitez
versus Canelo because they're.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
In the same weight class. One guys that want to
give that fight exactly. That's the problem.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
And even as excited as I know Dove's excited, as
a lot of people excited about Crawford Canelo because there
are two of the biggest names in the world. The
problem that you have, though is Canelo hasn't looked good
in his last two or three fights, you know, getting older,
and Crawford is gonna have to go up like three
weight classes for this fight.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
So the weight classes for a reason. There's a reason,
so for him to have to bulk up like that
to get there.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And if he loses, then you already got to build
an excuse. Man he had to go, which isn't good
for the fight period for anybody either side. Canelo, I
can't win.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Because as good as Crawford's great, but you can. You
would probably say, hey, if I'm gonna tell you, a
guy who normally fights at one forty five is fighting
a guy at one seventy, you're expecting it not to
be a real competitive fighters.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Taking Crawford really yeahs too much, got to be racist.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You know he's older than Canelo, right, you heard me
say that.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, he said that's like thirty five and Canelos like,
what thirty two or no, it's thirty seven and thirty
five thirty Hey, oh boy, well they're not old when
you only got to fight once a year. So I
see year for half an hour or a half hour.
How you know what you guys going tonight? We're going
to what y'all going to. But that's because of the money.
Whereas before you'd have to fight.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You have to you have to have like three, three
or four fights a year a min of money.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Hey, so let me ask you this and we're breaking
right now, but it'll be a good conversation at some
point to have. You know, we talk about Steph Curry.
Some people, oh you ruined the NBA or Lebron ruined
it because of the super team. Did Floyd Mayweather ruin
boxing in a good way for him because he protected
himself and he had in a.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Box and he stopped me from watching fight.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Right, But I'm st have it at our barbershop, right
and unlike all of our good customers are most consistent
customers would come in and we'd have like a little
get together and I just went so so nobody knew
how to.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Pay and everything. I just love. Yeah, I stopped going.
I'm down on the barber you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I was like, dude, I cannot watch another Floyd Mayweather
dancing it, you know, holding and and no punching.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Rob It's not just that part of he's not an
exciting fighter. But I'm just saying that he was so
insistent on keeping the and oh in his record that.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
He would only fight he would he would fall Canelo
when he was very this.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Guy, right, yeah, and he found a way to manipulate it.
And he's great for a prize fighter before.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
No, Right, That's what I'm saying. Like it just didn't
entertainment anymore. I said it was great for him. He
showed these people, he showed the way. Look, this is
how you own a business. Make Runny do it this
what his own gave him the bag. He's not because
there's no regulators to the sport that in the old days.
They take your belt. They don't care about all that,
and they would be like, no, you have to fight
(30:50):
this guy or you're not the champion anymore. It would
be that simple.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
All right. Well, hopefully you know what.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
You can tweet us, by the way, if you're into that,
we'll maybe read some of the tweets. Rob Parker, MLB,

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Yes, sir three and oh I'm now one nineteen and
one eighteen one oh five hundred now and here we go.
Of course, she Echo City is released earlier on social
media by Elijah, So here we go. Best bet Denver
Nuggets plus nine and a half. Okay, see wins, but
they keep it close plus okay, plus nine and a half.
Dangn they got them like that.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Well.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Now, the Celtics and Knicks is a game two. I
took the Celtics minus nine and a half at home
in Boston.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It's a tie game, right, Well, yeah, it'll be a
tight one though. The Knicks play the Celtics, I mean historically,
but they're owing for They also say this year wasn't good,
but historically I think this should be a good series.
I'm hoping I got Boston obviously to win it, but
hoping at least be a good one.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
And I got the Guardians minus one and a half runs. Uh,
they're in DC at Nationals. I think that game is
rain delayed or hadn't started, I think, But again three
and oh last night on Friday night, I got the
Cleveland Guardians minus one and a half runs, Boston Celtics
minus nine and a half points, and the Denver Nuggets
plus nine and a half points. And remember, Calvin, I'm
(33:18):
not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling you
who I bet on.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
All right, Well, appreciate you mentioned, uh some of the
games we're looking at the Knicks and the Celtics. One
right here, man, what do you what are you making
this serious now that we're kind of haveing starting off
new you know, the semi finals?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Can I say this though? Yeah, okay, I get it.
The Celtics won the championship last year. But like the ESPN,
and I'm not picking on them. I'm just I can't.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
I'm not picking on them. No, you were like you
had screenshots of them last time. Okay, I have another one.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Okay, okay, so you so the last one was ten
and ozer, everybody picking the Lakers over Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
You remember the screen shot because I showed it to
yeah who we got, So you know, I took another
screenshot because that's how our role.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I am the screenshot king. Let me tell you something.
Rob's coming with receipts.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
So the Celtics thirteen writers or analysts, okay, uh picked
this contest?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
All right? Let me see this one. He's showing me now.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Uh So thirteen of thirteen you have picked the Celtics
two game sevens and then probably split even game five,
Game six, the rest.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
But I'm just.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Saying, like, no one person want to go with the Knicks, like,
like something's wrong if that's your NBA. Seriously, Like these
are playoffs.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I'm not like no upsets like they like ten and
zero for the Lakers. The Lakers won. To me, I
thought more people would.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I could see you know, getting a few with the
Timberwolves because they have been playing great the last year.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
They made a run last year, you know what I mean,
and they and they got in.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And then also the Lakers were top heavy, call them
Dolly Parton and they were also. But but even to
that one, this one is less shocking to me, just
because they're the raining champs.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
But thirteen and all like like there's nobody willing to
stand out on a limb and say, you know what, No,
I wouldn't pick them. But I'm just saying, I'm saying
that thirteen changed, you are the best, rob G. Would
you pick them?
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
No, I ain't. Would you pick them?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I picked the Celtics and Win Steve the Seger Celtics Knicks.
Who you got in that series? Boston exactly? So none
of Mary Mack who you got?
Speaker 7 (35:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
But my my podcast.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
But my point is that these are like it's every
like every writer or broadcast like it's it's always the
same vote like they it's just weird.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Let's SE's weird in the NBA that you're in the playoffs.
It's not like Minnesota, go the state will be better.
I think I think.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Thirteen thirteen nothing. Other one was ten nothing. You'll get
mixed there because that's like who you got, right, nobody.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
I don't know why you'd be like, I want to
go out on a limb and I want to pick
this team. Like if you just a repebter, you're not
there to make no no.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
But I'm just saying, like it's shocking because I picked
the Timberwolves.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I'm a hater. I picked who else did I pick
for that one? And I made another?
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Uh, I can't remember what other series I picked. And
I'm a hater, but not a hater with that. Well
that was a lot. That was kind of a splitish. Yeah,
but you're still a hater tho.

slim Duncan he lost wait? I toldne. He said he's
the same way broke, start a broke. It's up in here, Robber.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
And by the way, from now on, I'll be going
by ron G. I E forgot he's Ranji for the
rest of the day. Why are you ronjy?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Because somebody tweeted us and he was like, hey man,
what this is?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
How I imagine he sounded because it's clearly a tweet.
I didn't hear.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Hey man, we're the third hour of the podcast? Said
also where ron G? Roggie coming back? I said, ron
G will be back Monday. I don't know what's up
with the third hour, but I thought it was Warren
G was working here. I was where ron G?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yet it's all good, that's right when you mess with
people's routine. Because I saw that too, what's the third hour?
Like like like yeah, yelled at us. It was not sweet.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I was like, whoa brother?
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Also, don't you guys think it's a little bit coincidental
that Robber came back on sinking on my own?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Is that? How come that's not racist? Yo?
Speaker 6 (02:38):
If I could push the button right now, I would
you know what I'm thinking?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Hey, yo, and this that's racist. I'm convinced that rob
paid Mary to say that. I did not know that was.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
You know what, It's funny because Steve the Sega's over
there smirking.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I see you, Steve. He's trying to do that. I
see you, Steve. That Mary. Okay, that was.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Racist, man. I can't believe you would do that to
Rob G. Ron Gie been back for eleven minutes, Max, But.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I'll tell you this.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
When Mary came in the door and saw ron G
or whatever you want to call it, is ron for
the day, that reception was off the charts.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
She hugged him. I came in and I was like,
rob G, Oh my god, it was one of those
I was like, okay, nice, it was so nice. Now
it's great. I have so much cheeseman that I've been
holding on too. It's all good, ron Gie. You were missed.
(03:36):
You know. He's feeling good.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
First day at school, Rob he got his fresh little
hair cut and cut his own hair, his own hair
to save money.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I'm finna kill him today.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I'm gonna go Rob G real quick, ask you real quick,
and then we'll get into the show.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Six weeks is a long time. I mean, A, did
you miss us at all of the show?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
And B how much did you get accomplished being at
home with the family, and are you still married?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
The last question first, yes, are you closer? Are you?
Speaker 7 (04:03):
Like?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Who? Thank God? I'm back to this is it's a
gap right now?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It is like like you you think it's gonna be great, dude, Like, okay,
I think she's probably happy.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
I didn't realize how much I got on her nerves, right,
And because is she listening?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, okay, good misses. This radio.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Listens because you're rational, Robgie, so you're probably be like, well, baby,
why don't we just take the sixth Street, because then
if we do that, we can get there by three.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
They don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear.
How dare you coming with some rationality?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Like Chris Rock said, a woman aint gonna let a
little logic getting away of her argument you want to
be logical.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
And now now the big thing is because I got
a ten year, ten year wedding anniversary next month, is
you know our ten years coming up? It's like anytime
I do some bad, you know our ten years coming up?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Is that her way of saying you might not make it? No,
like like like, how dare you do this? On the
eve of our That's funny. I've never heard that. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
All right, well we we missed right, glad to have you,
but it's good to have Roan gie Beck. Rob G,
could you stop doing He's.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Rong for the day? That was my favorite tweet?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
All right, he responded, all right, coming up on a program,
A lot of stuff to get to, a little Shekel city.
Brad Turner our number two covers of course the Lakers
and Clippers, La Times. Uh yeah, he's always somewhere, and
then our number three, Mark Stime, Fox Sports Radio, NBA Insider,
the Stein Line on Substack and Last Call. So there's
(05:30):
a lot to unpack, a lot to do, but we
do have to start the show, and we should welcome
in the odd couple. Kupcause you're gonna be able to
do this fine radio program without him. Rob G is
our producer, Steve the Seger's at the anchor desk.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He'll keep us updated throughout the program. How did you
survive that bomb?
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Elijah is our social media guru, one of the best
in the business, and of course on the ones and twos.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Why your bug and huh.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
And I'm not gonna bring up the that I won
the uh, you're not play what you just brought up,
and that I don't have the sneakers here.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Bought, but you even got more than what they were
if I gave you a full two hundred the whole
I gave two hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
So he got a gift card if you have a
gift card to Nike gift card which also goes to Jordan's.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, canna try and talk two places? What you want
me to do?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I cried, Hey, y'all got the Metro Retro eleven, hold on,
please hold all way out. Next person called the other one,
hey hold on please no, and we're not even gonna
restock him.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So then you just said, let me just get a
gift card.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It was either that you an't gonna get theim to
like Father's No, I appreciate it. Thank good MANE. I
got you all right, we're back. We're gonna find another
one to bet on. Will other than the Lions making
the playoffs came with rober You got that written down right, Yeah,
but that's a Wings bet.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
We got that already set. I'll give you another opportunity.
There'll be some other team that was worth Wings. We
didn't we have a.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Bet on the NBA Coach of the Year because I look,
let me tell you something, I will never bet on what.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, we bet on the quarterback MVP. No we didn't.
Oh no, no, what did we bet? We didn't bet it?
We bet? Yeah, let's go we did not.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
All right, let's go here the news of the day,
Rob G can you set the table for us?
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Haven't even been back for ten minutes and I'm already
sitting the table. Yes, big news of the day, even
though it is the NBA postseason. Leave it to the
NFL to steal the headlines once again. That is because
the Baltimore Ravens earlier today released eight time All Pro
statistically the greatest kicker in NFL history, Justin Tucker.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
He is now no longer with the Baltimore Ravens. This
should come as no surprise.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Let's just say, Adam Veniti because he made so many
big kicks. I'm not saying I know what you're talking
about statistically, but Adam, there's no Tom Brady without.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Those three Super Bowl winning.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Kick That's fair, right, Yes, So the reason why this
shouldn't come as surprise to you if you're a football fan.
Number one, the Ravens drafted a kicker in the draft,
so you kind of saw this coming. But number two,
and probably most importantly, Justin Tucker has been accused of
inappropriate behavior by sixteen different massage therapists from eight different
Baltimore areas. There is a cloud hanging over the Tucker
(08:16):
name right now, and as a result, he is no
longer a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Are you sure about that? Because that's not the way
they positioned it, robb Gi. They kind of positioned it. Oh,
you know, roster's full. We gotta make tough roster decisions.
And you know they didn't positioned it like that, Robs.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
They don't have to position it like that because A
there's a couple of ways that they get squeezed. Squiz
what no, I was gonna say, squirming out of this,
And I was trying to say, squirming out of this.
They have a couple of weeks. Ay, he cast him
about three games last year. He was bad, and maybe
it was because he knew the other shoe was going
to drop and he was waiting and waiting, you know
(08:57):
what I mean? And I do believe that that's part
of it. And then they did go out and drive
somebody else. And I think that's why they're able to
do that and say it's a football decision because he
didn't play that well last year. But there's no doubt
in my mind that this is over the cloud hanging
(09:18):
over his head, which is massage gate. This is all
about massage gate. And I don't understand it. I really don't.
And you know, he came out. Remember when the story
came out from the paper, because it's not the Baltimore Son,
it's like another paper that people didn't know about. Remember
we had talked about this. I said, let me tell
(09:39):
you something the printed word. I said, a no story,
and go through lawyers before they put that accusing a
man of a situation like that. Okay, so that story
was vetted, They went through everything.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
They have all the logs.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
When they told him he was not welcomed there, it's
all documented. It's not even like, oh, yeah, came by
and we thought he was a freak and we told
him to leave.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
No, it's documented when they told him what.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Date, when they told him not to come back, and
that his behavior was inappropriate, and so on and so
on and so on anyway. He claimed that it had
nothing to do you know that this was false and
made up or whatever, and the Ravens just this too much.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
So then there's always this dilemma. Is it morality morals
versus football? Where are you?
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Here's a guy who is very inappropriate with women. Is
that who you want to wear your uniform? Represent your
organization right, because it's not just you, And there's been
times when they've turned their heads for people who are stars.
And don't forget Kobe was involved in a rape case
(10:53):
and play and continue to play. That would never happen today.
But he's flying on the Lakers team, playing back and
forth to games. He won't suspended by the league like
it was. And you're innocent into proven guilty, no doubt.
But you could also say it's time to step back
and let me handle this and get my name cleared
and then I'll come back kind of like where Shannon
(11:15):
shot right, Like the same thing. He's still doing his
own entity, right, That's how I guess he lives and
feels like. But he works for Disney and works for
somebody else and with the ESPN. Rather than have them
tell him you, let's just take a let's just take
a pause and then we'll come back and and hopefully
it's just settled and I can resume my analyst job
(11:38):
in that case. But I guess my point is I
applaud the Baltimore Ravens because at some point just because
you can play ball should not be the reason why
an organization should accept behavior and allow you to continue.
(12:00):
Doesn't mean that you can't go work somewhere else, but
we would rather you not work here. And that's really
what it is.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
They didn't.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
They didn't make a It wasn't a damnation like, oh
he did this, and we there's nothing there about.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
That they know of the investigation, but they didn't go
that far. I'm called with it. I have no issues.
My only issue is.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Or it would have been a more interesting conversation had
we seen what you're referring to see if this was
justin Tucker of three years ago and this comes out
where he's, as Rob g said, best kicker ever. He's
just amazing, mister Klutch. You know what, he's gonna make
all these big kicks, then it would have been amazing
to see. Had they said, you know what, this is
too much, we're gonna move forward, But it's easier to
(12:44):
do now because he sucked last season and he's older,
and it's easier to move on because all this drama.
I would have been more compelled to be like, Wow,
the Baltimore Ravens really mean business on a moral level
had they did this, like I said, two, three, four
years ago, when he was still in his peak, still
in his prime.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, but this wasn't available to them.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Right, So I'm saying it doesn't easier, So I'm saying
it's easier to do so now. And I think historically
in the NFL, what we have seen is the opposite.
We've seen where you can name the thing where the
guys user drugs, selling drugs, beating women, throwing women on guns,
Greg Hardy, and they continue to get work. And you've
heard me say this, and you will hear me say
until I feel proven the other way. You can do
(13:26):
anything as long as you don't kneel. That was the
one thing you could.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
But I can give you a great example of somebody
who was in his prime, who had just won a
cy young and he cannot get work in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Trevor Bauer. Oh yeah, but I'm talking about the NFL.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah, but I'm saying, like Trevor Bauer the Dodgers, you
know how much money they ate and the whole case
and whatnot. You know, there's all kinds of murky and
he never got charged or whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
But Dodgers still, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
You know about Trevor Bower though, No, I'm just he's
these most people perceive. I'm they dislike him. No, he's
very difficult. Yeah he's good, he's slid. Could have been
a round.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I'm just said, but but but but he won to
saw Young just the year.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Before and hours went down once some balls wasn't juiced
to know what I mean. So that's another whole thing
with him. But absolutely Trevor Bayer, he was like, I'm
not gonna put up with that guy and put our
name out here in a reputation for guy we don't
even know.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
And I'm not surprised, like the Dodgers to me like that,
or you're not wearing our uniform with the organization of
Jackie Robins and we'll eat the money.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
They ate a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
They did, but yeah, absolutely, just to get rid of it.
So so to conclude on this, the Baltimore Ravens, to
your point, have proven to be usually at least it
seems a stand up organization. They haven't had a bunch
of you know, drama if you will. As he knew,
he was there doing great things for a long time.
So they have proven to be that, and it becomes, yeah,
(14:52):
it becomes very difficult though, because of the part we
just said, innocent into improving guilty, and that becomes challenging
for jobs and for business in organizations. Right, how do
I give them the leeway to go through the legality
of it? You mentioned Kobe with also saying this doesn't
look good for us? Is the difference, Kobe Bryant bad
(15:15):
as the situation was, it was one person, he said,
she said, versus what is it sixteen people? In this
case it was thirty forty with Deshaun Watson, sixty with
Bill Cosby. I'm just saying, like the numbers are so wing.
I think when you get there, it ends up becoming
possibly a swear. There's smoke, there's fire. So if there
were one woman, maybe two, or just one particular spot,
(15:35):
you could say it was a misunderstanding.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
So he said, she said, with one person, but you
cannot tell me that sixteen women different places over a
four year pop and they have all the documentary, all
of it documented.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
We asked them not to come here anymore. So then
that tells me there's issue and this is why they
do it. But I do I can at least understand
from time to time where organizations are all right, Look,
I don't know what to do. It's one woman. He's
telling us it's a lie. I did this. She's saying
he did. How do we handle that because we want
to give him the Grayson leeway to play it out.
(16:08):
But on the flip side, this looks bad, so it
becomes very difficult. But when you have sixteen folks eight
different locations, I think think it makes it easier.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Choice, all right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
on This Magic City Monday, did the Ravens make the
right move by releasing kicker Justin Tucker? Where do you
stand on morality versus football in the NFL.

(17:15):
All right, the news was justin. Tucker was released by
the Ravens. They made it as if it was a
roster and a difficult decision. They didn't really touch on
the allegations moro versus football decisions. That's what we're talking about.
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Who we got
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
With Robert and Georgia. You on the eyd Couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Robert?
Speaker 7 (17:34):
It's way tell you that whole up so good you.
I'm blessed man. I wanted to really say I appreciate
y'all for touching this subject, because I was scrolling through
ex Twitter whatever they call, and I even being on
like just watching regular TV, I've seen nobody attempt to
touch this subject, and just and generally I appreciate y'all
(17:55):
for touching the subject because a lot of people shot
await from me and I just I main question, more
than in fact you think he deserved to keep up
a team, was why isn't this getting the same coverage
as Deshaun Watson, Which I understand you're not a quarterback,
but still he's the same amount of allegations and then
nobody even covered just like it's being swept in the
road like it's just another day and so.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Well, not on the odd couple. As you know, Robert,
you've been listening for a long time too.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, a couple of things real quick, we leave the
show with you, I mean, we're leading our show with it,
and Rob and I had covered this. This is probably
the third time since this all broke out with him.
And answer your question, Robert, thank you for listening for
the call. One of the reasons we we kind of
talked about was the perfect timing of the allegations for
on his end, meaning it was literally right after the
(18:40):
Ravens guy knocked out of the postseason, and it was
kind of a weak or week or so later, give
or take, and he's out of He's not He's Pat
Mahomes out of the playoff where we're still gonna talk
about it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Was it enough? Why was he ever win a Super
Bowl again?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Him being in the background, being the kicker at a
bad season, as we talked about, that helped him. Deshaun
Watson was white hot at the time, the star quarter
our quarterback MVP candidate at that time.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
No doubt Andrew in Tennessee. You're on the couple of
Fox sportuating what's up Andrew?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Uh, not much, buddy, A long time listener.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
I will say, I feel like I feel like a
lot of it has to do with football.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
The dude was trash last year. He cost them three games.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But I mean, when you you watched the games, Andrew
cost them three games. They played Pittsburgh and he missed
like two kicks in that game and they lost by
what a couple.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Like two to two? I think it was two to two. Yeah,
any kick, any kick that came up over fifty it
was a toss up, and he used to be absolute
money from.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
A I was I was in Detroit when he kicked
that sixty What was it, I'm sorry, fifty two or something?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Sixty two or three yard of rob g what was that?
Sixty three? Sixty two? I was at that game? Thank you,
I know, thank you, I saw it all right. Thank you.
A great point with that, though, rob that appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Is that stuff on his brain knowing it's coming because
because we have seen Deshaun Watson, because he Tiger Woods
wasn't right, because.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
You know it's out there like like that. They don't
just write the story. They came and as he heard
this comment exactly, so you know that there's brewing and
working on the story. Nobody, nobody where a story comes
out of nowhere because they got a.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Contact content at job. Somebody go call hey, man, I
got a call from the you know, the uh this
law firm or this this newspaper.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You're they're gonna know, Andrew, I mean Andrew Andre in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
You're on the odd couple. I'm having trouble talking today. Listen.
He got out of school. School got out last week.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You ain't been right since jumping in chairs, Robbie did
you see this man jumping in chairs?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You see me trying to help, jumping on tables. He
ain't gonna make it six years. I might be in
the hospital for the last four and we're doing it.
Rob Gi. I'm okay, I'm in a full casking, but
my moth works.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Andre in Massachusetts, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
How you doing. Thanks for taking the call. It's a
good time for the college students and the college professors
right now. Class is finishing up. Yes, yes, off into
the sunset the high school folks. We got a little
bit of ways to go. But in the Northeast. You know,
the weather's just turned around, right, don't.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You don't get out until like June, right until late June?
Speaker 8 (21:06):
Yeah, mid June, Miss Jude Way.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
You're a teacher, yes.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
Indeed, Yeah, yeah, man.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Congrat I love that man. That's beautiful. I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Drake sports and U sports in history, you know that's
my passion. But specific to Justin Tucker, as the other
callers have said, he only made seventy three percent of
his field goals last year. Okay, and he missed ten total,
which is the most since twenty fifteen for he missed seven.
So the production, the production on the field hasn't been
what it was in years past. B And then a
(21:35):
elephant in the room is these allegations. And I think
you guys are onto something. He heard the footsteps, the
stuff that's going on in the background. He knows it's coming.
It's going to break out at any particular time. And
for any position on the football field, quarterback is the
most important position in football and arguably all the sports.
But for kickers, your mental has to be right. You
have to be in that zone. You have to have
(21:55):
that zen to be able to believe you can go
out there and execute under pressure. And he clearly didn't
have it this year. And I think that there is
a correlation between what was going on in his personal knight.
You know, he projects himself as this family first conservative you.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Know, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Then that that makes even when when you have that
forward facing, you know, righteous persona and then you know
that there's some cracks in the in the armor that
can even make any more of a situation. So those
things combined, Ravens move forward. You're bringing the kicker for
the future. And and that's that no doubt.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
And now I do want to say buddy Lomas Brown
just textas he listens to the show to Lomas and
he said it was it was a sixty six yarder.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Tell Lomas, I said, Lomas, me and you we're supposed
to be remember now. No, no, no, Lomas, thanks for corrected.
I mean you know here, I am trying to difference
what that's a big difference. That's why I know it
was like a crazy kick. I didn't know Lomas is
listening to six sixty six years said it was a
twenty six yard I ain't that.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Everybody makes twenty six yard field goal sixty six? I'm sorry.
And also Rob G real quick? Uh the tweet? Who
was called you?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Yeah yeah, ron Gy? Right ron Gi Michael Thompson. He said,
my bad. I know his name is rob G, but

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Let's talk about the fight. Are you excited? Finally, let's
get to you and Rob G. I know y'all have
way bigger fight fan. I used to cover boxing, but.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
That leads to the conversation and boxing. What what has
happened to boxing? With so many bad fights and all
that real or non fight Like, oh no, they way
it too late?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Like like seriously, and you're talking to a guy who
covered boxing for the Detroit Free Press.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I was in Vegas all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I was there with the ear biting and the parachuting
guy came back.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I mean I was at a lot of these fights.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I think I told you before one of the all
time greats uh was. I was covering a fight at
the Palace of Auburn Hills and a fighter has another
fighter in the in the corner and he's, you know,
working him over like a bargain fries And the guy
looks and I'm sitting there right at ringside. He looks
(24:37):
right down at me and says, hey, Rob, what's up?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
How are you doing?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
And he's talking to me while he's hitting, while he's
hitting the hitting guy and the doctor who's right next
to me, because you don't I have a doctor. The
doctor's like, I've been covered. I've been doing fights for
forty years. I've never seen a fighter talk to.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
A sports writer during the fight.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
He looked down at me and reckon that, Hey Rob,
going on that, Uh, clearly you're beating him up? What's
going in my book? I gotta look it up. I
can't I think with somebody from the d Yeah, and
he reckonized me like just sitting there. But anyway, well, yeah,
(25:19):
back to the fight. So Rob, g you wanna?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I mean, looks like we're gonna finally get Canelo on Crawford, right, Yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's kind of piggyback of what you guys just mentioned.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
This was supposed to be a great weekend for boxing
because you had what they were calling the four Kings
of the current Era all fighting the same weekend, three
of them Friday night in Times Square, Canelo fighting on
Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Every single fight was terrible to
a point where I think three of the fights ranked
in the bottom five of total punches thrown in company
(25:48):
box history. That's how bad it was. So Thankfully, at
the end of the Canelo fight, we got the big announcement.
Everyone's waiting for it, Canelo versus Crawford coming up this September,
Tember twelfth in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Your thoughts. It's funny.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I'm going to Vegas the weekend before excepteber Seinfel September
twelfth on a Friday night to avoid the college football season,
because they're fighting at a agent stadium.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
That makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, but boy boxing used to push everybody out the
way back in the day. We don't give a day
one no college football.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Whatever they would They wouldn't look at a schedule to
see what Jimmie Wee boxing.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
This is Tyson uh and Tyson and Foreman and Evander
Holyfield or you know these big fighters, Roy Jones Junior.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
When we fighting, y'all watch it, man, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Fights used to be like the Super Bowl rob People
who didn't even care were.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Y'all watching the fight tonight? Everybody went, who are you
doing to fight? Party?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Used to be such a big deal when I was
a kid, to my teenage year to my early twenties.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Then it just started fading.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
So with that being said, I believe this is one
of the few fights that kid reignite. I don't think
the fight game will ever come back to what it
used to be, partly because Rob's I don't think we
have heavyweights anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
To see a Tyson fight.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Dude, I was a kid when he was, you know,
first reigning Supreme, and I just remember that being such
a big deal. Eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty nine, ninety
Like I'm a kid, like, oh shoot, Tyson, it was
a huge.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Then he comes back out of retirement.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
But even before that, you had George Foreman starting to
do his thing again, and you had Michael Moore and
Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis and all these guys man,
and it was just it was like those were maga fights.
Then you had still had the Roy Jones juniors and
all that. This will not this will reignited a bit.
I don't think we'll ever go back to the to
the golden era, of course not. But if you get
(27:39):
these two still relatively in their primes, both a little older,
especially Crawford. You than you would have hoped it could
be something Rob Geez, is Erol Spence gonna have for
a fight again. No, So potentially this is the only
fight we really really really want. I mean my missing
one is there one with tank I on.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
We want to see all the one that we really wanted.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
You know, if you're a real fight, you wanted Benavitez
versus Canelo because they're.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
In the same weight class. One guys that want to
give that fight exactly. That's the problem.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
And even as excited as I know Dove's excited, as
a lot of people excited about Crawford Canelo because there
are two of the biggest names in the world. The
problem that you have, though is Canelo hasn't looked good
in his last two or three fights, you know, getting older,
and Crawford is gonna have to go up like three
weight classes for this fight.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
So the weight classes for a reason. There's a reason,
so for him to have to bulk up like that
to get there.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And if he loses, then you already got to build
an excuse. Man he had to go, which isn't good
for the fight period for anybody either side. Canelo, I
can't win.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Because as good as Crawford's great, but you can. You
would probably say, hey, if I'm gonna tell you, a
guy who normally fights at one forty five is fighting
a guy at one seventy, you're expecting it not to
be a real competitive fighters.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Taking Crawford really yeahs too much, got to be racist.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You know he's older than Canelo, right, you heard me
say that.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, he said that's like thirty five and Canelos like,
what thirty two or no, it's thirty seven and thirty
five thirty Hey, oh boy, well they're not old when
you only got to fight once a year. So I
see year for half an hour or a half hour.
How you know what you guys going tonight? We're going
to what y'all going to. But that's because of the money.
Whereas before you'd have to fight.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You have to you have to have like three, three
or four fights a year a min of money.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Hey, so let me ask you this and we're breaking
right now, but it'll be a good conversation at some
point to have. You know, we talk about Steph Curry.
Some people, oh you ruined the NBA or Lebron ruined
it because of the super team. Did Floyd Mayweather ruin
boxing in a good way for him because he protected
himself and he had in a.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Box and he stopped me from watching fight.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Right, But I'm st have it at our barbershop, right
and unlike all of our good customers are most consistent
customers would come in and we'd have like a little
get together and I just went so so nobody knew
how to.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Pay and everything. I just love. Yeah, I stopped going.
I'm down on the barber you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
I was like, dude, I cannot watch another Floyd Mayweather
dancing it, you know, holding and and no punching.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Rob It's not just that part of he's not an
exciting fighter. But I'm just saying that he was so
insistent on keeping the and oh in his record that.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
He would only fight he would he would fall Canelo
when he was very this.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Guy, right, yeah, and he found a way to manipulate it.
And he's great for a prize fighter before.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
No, Right, That's what I'm saying. Like it just didn't
entertainment anymore. I said it was great for him. He
showed these people, he showed the way. Look, this is
how you own a business. Make Runny do it this
what his own gave him the bag. He's not because
there's no regulators to the sport that in the old days.
They take your belt. They don't care about all that,
and they would be like, no, you have to fight
(30:50):
this guy or you're not the champion anymore. It would
be that simple.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
All right. Well, hopefully you know what.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
All right? Three and oh on Friday night?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Yes, sir three and oh I'm now one nineteen and
one eighteen one oh five hundred now and here we go.
Of course, she Echo City is released earlier on social
media by Elijah, So here we go. Best bet Denver
Nuggets plus nine and a half. Okay, see wins, but
they keep it close plus okay, plus nine and a half.
Dangn they got them like that.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Well.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Now, the Celtics and Knicks is a game two. I
took the Celtics minus nine and a half at home
in Boston.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It's a tie game, right, Well, yeah, it'll be a
tight one though. The Knicks play the Celtics, I mean historically,
but they're owing for They also say this year wasn't good,
but historically I think this should be a good series.
I'm hoping I got Boston obviously to win it, but
hoping at least be a good one.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
And I got the Guardians minus one and a half runs. Uh,
they're in DC at Nationals. I think that game is
rain delayed or hadn't started, I think, But again three
and oh last night on Friday night, I got the
Cleveland Guardians minus one and a half runs, Boston Celtics
minus nine and a half points, and the Denver Nuggets
plus nine and a half points. And remember, Calvin, I'm
(33:18):
not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling you
who I bet on.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
All right, Well, appreciate you mentioned, uh some of the
games we're looking at the Knicks and the Celtics. One
right here, man, what do you what are you making
this serious now that we're kind of haveing starting off
new you know, the semi finals?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Can I say this though? Yeah, okay, I get it.
The Celtics won the championship last year. But like the ESPN,
and I'm not picking on them. I'm just I can't.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
I'm not picking on them. No, you were like you
had screenshots of them last time. Okay, I have another one.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Okay, okay, so you so the last one was ten
and ozer, everybody picking the Lakers over Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
You remember the screen shot because I showed it to
yeah who we got, So you know, I took another
screenshot because that's how our role.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I am the screenshot king. Let me tell you something.
Rob's coming with receipts.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
So the Celtics thirteen writers or analysts, okay, uh picked
this contest?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
All right? Let me see this one. He's showing me now.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Uh So thirteen of thirteen you have picked the Celtics
two game sevens and then probably split even game five,
Game six, the rest.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
But I'm just.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Saying, like, no one person want to go with the Knicks, like,
like something's wrong if that's your NBA. Seriously, Like these
are playoffs.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I'm not like no upsets like they like ten and
zero for the Lakers. The Lakers won. To me, I
thought more people would.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
I could see you know, getting a few with the
Timberwolves because they have been playing great the last year.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
They made a run last year, you know what I mean,
and they and they got in.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
And then also the Lakers were top heavy, call them
Dolly Parton and they were also. But but even to
that one, this one is less shocking to me, just
because they're the raining champs.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
But thirteen and all like like there's nobody willing to
stand out on a limb and say, you know what, No,
I wouldn't pick them. But I'm just saying, I'm saying
that thirteen changed, you are the best, rob G. Would
you pick them?
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
No, I ain't. Would you pick them?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I picked the Celtics and Win Steve the Seger Celtics Knicks.
Who you got in that series? Boston exactly? So none
of Mary Mack who you got?
Speaker 7 (35:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
But my my podcast.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
But my point is that these are like it's every
like every writer or broadcast like it's it's always the
same vote like they it's just weird.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Let's SE's weird in the NBA that you're in the playoffs.
It's not like Minnesota, go the state will be better.
I think I think.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Thirteen thirteen nothing. Other one was ten nothing. You'll get
mixed there because that's like who you got, right, nobody.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
I don't know why you'd be like, I want to
go out on a limb and I want to pick
this team. Like if you just a repebter, you're not
there to make no no.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
But I'm just saying, like it's shocking because I picked
the Timberwolves.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I'm a hater. I picked who else did I pick
for that one? And I made another?
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Uh, I can't remember what other series I picked. And
I'm a hater, but not a hater with that. Well
that was a lot. That was kind of a splitish. Yeah,
but you're still a hater tho.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I mean, you know
