Speaker 8 (05:39):
Perfect day took about twenty four solid hours, but we

Speaker 1 (05:43):
All right. There you go. And of course on the
ones and twos, why again, that's been a lot of
marry in my life. Yes, so there you go. Hey, hey, hey,
let's do this. And obviously I was away when Michael Parson.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Elijah, what's that you didn't who oh?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I didn't even wait a minute. I'm like totally bugging here, totally.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
That's the new level of who we don't even miss.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Him at Elijah, I am so sorry, and of course
our social media guru who is Elijah.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Listen, you get a lot of give me and you
even finally got the right day when you came back.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Every time you come back.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
From Thursday, I got it right because I am back
on the holidays. So I would say, Ryan, we do
have a what is it the hot what do you
call it? A microwave tape? Going back to three weeks

(06:50):
ago when me and you talked about what the Cowboys
should do and Jerry Jones and his whole Michael Parsons
and let's take a listen. If I'm Jerry Zones for real,
and we know he normally caves, he goes through this
whole process. We've seen him cave a million times. For once, Jerry,
is this on? It's on here for once, Jerry. I

(07:12):
want you to grow a pair and do something different
for a change. Do not roll over and wind up
paying it. You've already done it to two guys, right,
Dak Prescott got ridiculous money, Ceedee Lamb got ridiculous money,
and you're gonna make the same mistake and give a
pass Rusher right, forty three million dollars?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Is that where we are?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Because let me tell you, Jerry, you didn't You didn't
win the championship last year with Micah, so you couldnot
win the championship next year without him. I mean, like,
what's the difference. And if I'm the Dallas Cowboys and
I'm Jerry Jones and I really look at this, honestly,
the Cowboys have more holes in the golf course. Plug

(07:56):
up some of these holes and trade Micah Parsons and
his podcast to be named later, and go get you
three pieces three you know, like picks, you'll be able
to cash. And this guy's a primo player and in
order to get you have to give. So you're giving
up somebody. You're not saying you're giving him up because

(08:16):
he can't play. That's not the issue. It's the money
that it's gonna cost you. And you have so many
other situations. The last time I saw Michael Parsons in
a meaningful game, the Green Bay Packers were running up
and down upside their head. You remember that, embarrassing one
of the worst losses we've ever seen in the Cowboys.

(08:37):
In the postseason, Michael Parsons blamed everybody else. He was
on the field, he was I don't know, plus minus
in the NFL. He was probably a minus forty that game.
I mean, it was terrible. I think the time has come.
He's a great player. Sometimes you need to make a

(08:58):
change in what you're doing. Jerry. You've been doing the
same thing for more than three decades. It hasn't worked.
You always cave and pay all these guys, and has
it really worked. Michael Parsons could cure so many situations
for the Cowboys after you've already overpaid two guys that

(09:20):
you can't do anything about. Now, I would trade Michael Parson.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
All I'm gonna say is I was right right and
I nailed it. I nailed it. I knew this had
to be the time that Jerry Jones had to do
something different. And I'm just gonna say this, Kelvin and
I know you and most guys in this business all
thought Jerry was gonna do what he normally does because

(09:45):
his track record was that he was gonna roll over.
The one thing I will push back on. And I
saw you say, is I believe in and if I'm wrong,
stop me. That Jerry disrespected Micah or something like that
that he disrest respected them, And I'm going to disagree
with that from the standpoint that Micah is the one
who asked for a trade when they didn't have He

(10:08):
asked for a trade. Don't be asking for a trade
if you're not ready to move on. And it was
obviously got hurt. His feelings hurt that they traded him.
He could say whatever he wants, he got the money.
His feelings were hurt. He couldn't believe that they parted
with such a talent the way Luca got traded out
of Dallas. And the other part is the disrespect came

(10:30):
from Micah. And I think when you look at him
laying down on that table like that is a disrespect
to the game. I don't care what your situation is,
you don't show up, you know that that would be
you laying on this table here because you're in a
dispute with Fox Sports Radio or whatever it is. So

(10:51):
I looked at those things. And then the last part
with some reporting coming out saying that the podcast was
an issue like that, and and we agree. We talked
about that, like the podcast have become a year because
we talked about it with the Dak or who's the
top five quarterbacks? He doesn't mention Dak. You start opening
up a can of worms. And gods were like, dude,

(11:14):
come on with the podcast, okay, And and I think
I just think Dallas, you got to give to get
They gave up a great player. No one's saying that
he's a bomb, and they got just the way Mike
h Luca got traded. He was a great player. But
I think for the first time, Jerry Jones actually did
something right.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
The only reason in theory I hear what you're saying.
The pushback I have is I don't think that's what
Jerry set out to do.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Like I don't think he was like, oh, we're about
to trade him and get what we can get. We're
gonna do this.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
I think he absolutely wanted to sign him, and I mean,
obviously that's what the Ports are offer the money. And
didn't like David Mullagata I call him moo la Getta.
Didn't like him kind of interfering. I mean, you've got
a gentleman agreement. Let's focus on that. And the disrespect came.
What I was referring to is when you start insinuating
things you and I set up here and we were like, oh,
Michael wants to he's made it. No, I want to

(12:03):
stay there. I don't care about the money. I want
to be there. I'm like, hey, let your agent do that.
But once Jerry started to do things like make it
like he's hurt more than he is. All he missed
six games. Once you say, I mean, I like Mike
and all, but he could get hit by a train.
Once you start, I magine I got this personal relationship.
According to Jerry Jones, He's one of only three players
ever to have Jerry's personal line, like we got this,

(12:24):
we got this thing. What if I get hit by
a train? Oh, he's missing game more than I really am.
And then not to mention, you're putting it out here
like I've signed on to some deal when we shouldn't
have been talking about it, and I was waiting on
you know, you know, we have to go through my agent.
So like he was making me look like a fool
with my business. That's where the disrespect now that he
was talking about jo Mama, is this more?

Speaker 9 (12:44):
So?

Speaker 6 (12:45):
You got me out here looking crazy, how I handle
my business? Looking like I'm unhealthy and I'm always hurt
and again random stuff about hit by train, and I
think that's where it started to unravel. Then Michael started
to unravel. Gary, I agree, eating popcorn, hanging out, sitting.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Down, stuff to call me unprofessional.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Atlanta Falcons fans have called me.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
So it just fire rode out of control at that
point to where I think the Cowboys felt for us.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
We got all this happening.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
When we look at it, he's unhappy, probably doesn't want
to come back, probably is some don't like David Mullaghetta.
And I think at that point, also to be fair
to the Cowboys, a lot of their head people, according
to reports, are like, oh man, we don't know. He's
not requestioned his leadership like players, excuse me, players. So
when you have all of that, you make the trade.
My main issue was Rob. If they're gonna make the train, fine,

(13:33):
do it before the draft. Get some pigs because and
then use those pigs.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, but I think you're I don't think that that
was where they first set out, like, that was not
the game plan at first. That's why they couldn't do that,
because that's not what they were thinking. But I do believe,
and I think people always shocked, like, oh, they traded.
I can't believe they like like a lot of reporting
and some of the people the stuff that I saw,

(13:58):
their feelings are involved. You can't be like, like, seriously,
I'm not saying they got to be newspaper reporters with
all this trading or whatever, but to be an analyst
and you're acting like like you can't believe he was
traded when you saw Luca just got traded five times
all NBA. Okay, Wayne Gretzky was traded, Babe Ruth was sold.

(14:19):
I could go on like, great, some of the greatest
players ever have been traded, sold, whatever you want to
talk about. So this whole idea that this is the
worst thing that ever happened. I just think it's over
the top reaction, Like it's not like I don't know
how many Defensive Player of the Year. I could go

(14:40):
on and on and on about some stuff and go
and I'm not trying to discount his career, but it
ain't the end of the world. And for once, I
think the Cowboys Jerry did the right thing from the
standpoint of you can't pay three players fifty percent of
your cap, you know what I mean? And then still
try to win. I just think that that's a lot

(15:02):
people do that. Yeah, I think, uh, I know we're
up against it.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
I think the issue only because we know Jerry and
I mean this respectfully, and they say it in his dock,
his own documentary, his own children said that we know
we're up against the clock, meaning Pops is old if
you know what we mean that part. To me, that's
a great move for a long haul, if you're if
you're Dallas cowboy, for a maning, okay, long game, we
get some players.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
I'm looking at it as Jerry ain't got the longest.

Speaker 6 (15:28):
I'm just you know, and so if this man, but
he is not looking at it punting on the season.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
And that's to me.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
But I don't think they were winning the super Bowl
even this year with Michael. I mean, I'd be hard
pressed that anybody's pick was picking the Cowboys, even with you.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
You ain't gonna look this way for a pick. At
last point, they could have got more Ron. I don't
know if Adams got too and he was really he
was good. Two first rounds of a third round and
a couple of good players.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, but the money you have to pay Micah is
going to everybody can't pay that. It's only a handful
of team.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Two first rounders for a Micah twenty.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Six credit Pro Bowl, Pro Bowl, who can stop the Rock?

Speaker 6 (16:04):
Two first rounders and a fourth round pick and the
players for Jalen Ramsey and Khalil Matt got a bunch
of players.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, but they didn't get They didn't get They didn't
sign the richest contract. None of those guys you mentioned
signed the richest contract of a non quarterback.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
You about to go to the Packers who winning Super
Bowl three years?

Speaker 6 (16:20):
Oh, we'll see the Lions out and already dark all right?

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox, Yay, I'm back. I was right.
Uh are you with me? Are you still with Kelvin
that the Cowboys made a huge mistake. I think Jerry
finally got it right after eighty years of being a
general manager. We'll have that conversation with you next. It

number eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Yes, we're
talking about the Micah Parsons trade. I think Jerry Jones
did the right thing. Finally, Kelvin thinks he made a
mistake where you chance to chime in with both of
us in the house. So let's do it. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. Let's start with Tim Chili.

(18:51):
Tim in Atlanta, you're on the Odd Couple Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Chili? Thank Youley.

Speaker 9 (19:00):
Uh, he's just getting ready to kind of catch you guys.
Before I watched Chapel Hill Bill lose his game. Uh,
three quick punts, Rob, I did think about it that
you were right when they were talking about it, and
now I said.

Speaker 11 (19:13):
Nobody said that Rob was right.

Speaker 9 (19:15):
I remember what you said, and I was like, nobody
mentioned it.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
That thing. It was, well, you know, I was going
to mention it when I got back.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Your phone off in Hawaii.

Speaker 9 (19:22):
My phone was, yeah, I knew you were, but Rob also,
I can't really. I hope the NFL PA looks into
this because they look real weak if they don't address
how he did not deal with the agent that is
against the CBA. UH. Number two. If he really wanted
to be tough, I'd have made Micah come and say,
if you're going to continue to miss these games, you're

(19:43):
gonna play out this contract, which would have given me
a year to put the feelers out for people to
kind of get the financials and things in order, so
I could have got back more than the two pits
where they where the Packers are drafting. And then number three,
he drafted them to the teams kind of with your
butts bent, you kryptonite the last couple of years.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
That part was chili. Yeah, you know what you made.
It made a solid to good team even better. That
part was kind of strange.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
All right, Tim, appreciate it. Thank you, buddy. Mike in Austin, Texas,
you're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Mike?

Speaker 12 (20:18):
What's fellows?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
How are you great?

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Good?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Thank you?

Speaker 13 (20:24):
You have fine.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, I had a good time, got
to relax and why it was great? It was actually great.

Speaker 12 (20:31):
That's good. Hey man, what I think about this whole thing?
You know, whoever is the owner of the packers, tell
the GM hey, whatever they're asking for, give it to him.
They came in these negotiations thinking they were going to
bed anybody because they knew how value with Michael was.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
He's valuable.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's not even a debate about that. My point is
the cowboys that Jerry Farley didn't cave He caves in
on everybody. And and so that's why he's looking at that.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Did he not care or did he feel like it
ain't nothing else to do? Because at that he could
have got ugly.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
He could have paid him easily. He could have easily
paid him. I mean, he's pay he's paying uh Dak
Prescott sixty million?

Speaker 6 (21:13):
How Dak Prescott thinks? I appreciate the call, Mike. How's
he the set getting still the highest paid? Like you
because you're not using somebody contact? Was ridiculous? Hey, so
bad that these people are still making far less than him?

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Hey, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, we wan
to do expanded call so calling. If you still want
to get in, let's do Sean real quick. Then we'll
get an up there. That's right, Sean from Sacramento. You're

I don't know who how much you sold your so for,
but this is like five for five as far as
calling your shot, Bro, calling this Michael Parser's trade two
day near two months ago is nasty work. He got

way to go, Kelvin. You was wrong on this one,
and you deserve your flowers. And wait we waiting for

you take it? Like that?

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Like he's just some bum, Like he's not arguably her
fourth best defensive player in the entire league.

Speaker 3 (22:47):

Speaker 1 (23:55):
You want, I ain't getting caught up.

Speaker 6 (23:57):
He ain't, no, I give listen. I was talk about
it all but Rocky at getting caught him ain't.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Worried about it.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I've been I've been through all that.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
A young man sport exactly well, not for something.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
But we digress, all right, Uh, Bill Belichick, Calvin still
believes the Cowboys punting on the seat Belichick. I mean, Michael,
only Bill Belichick is older than me. He's seventy three.
Uh No, Michael Parsons, Jones and Jerry Jones. You think
that Jones punted on the seats. I think he did

(24:29):
the right thing, even though he gave up a future
Hall of Famer who the least is running that way.
But I think I think they did the right thing
for you know, Wayne Gretzy was traded, right, yeah, which
is crazy.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
One of the greatest, the greatest.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
There you go. His nickname is the greatest, and nobody
dispute it.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
Him and ALII. Only two people like the great Let's
go Kevin in Culver City. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up Kevin all the time?

Speaker 11 (24:59):
keV rub Rub Rob, welcome back, Please do me your
favorite tell you and to monkey pod.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
And now you know I did, absolutely I did go
to monkey Pod, but but I was in Honolulu.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
I was in.

Speaker 11 (25:14):
Okay, beautiful and big Jordan Hudson's got her hair, Jordan's
brad Our hair, Jordan brand going to night. So you know,
we gotta get that Rob's Rob Parker Belichick song today
because this is a Belichick but we have to get it.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
We are absolutely playing that at the top of the hour,
no doubt about it.

Speaker 11 (25:31):
I cannot wait. And let me give you your flowers. Yes,
you get your props. You were right, brother, you were right,
Uncle Rob. But here's the thing. Here's the fact that
this is what Calvin's talking about. Kelvin's saying this. You
got a division of Jayden Daniels, he got the vision
of Jalen Hurst, say, Kwon Barkley, you need the fattest
fan on defense is Dallas Michael Parsons to meet those guys.

(25:52):
The line of defense is the line with Dak Prescott
and see Lamb, what what are you doing? You're telling
those guys that we're just punning. We're honestly punning in
that division. You never know what can happen when you've
got to have Micah looking at those guys and you're
talking to a packer's owner. The packer. The packer nation
is very happy that Michaeh Parsons is wearing the green
and gold with Jordan Love and Matthew Golden and Josh Sakers.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
I don't even think I don't even think that is right.
It is, it is, and I don't even think that
that was the missing piece for the Packers. Are definitely
gonna make them win the Super Bowl as good as
he is.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I mean, that definitely helps.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
It helps, But I'm not saying, like, oh, for sure
that super still because they have the same quarterback. Did
they get a new quarterback because Jordan Love Love? I don't.
I mean he those Georgia I like Love, I'm not
in love we're talking about love, real love or Jordan Love. Okay,
he's talking about Jay in Georgia. You're in the eye
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Jay?

Speaker 4 (26:51):
What's up?

Speaker 9 (26:52):
Welcome?

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Thank you? How are you, buddy?

Speaker 4 (26:54):
I'm doing good about you? Feel MANI but you the
down appreciate j Man. Yeah, So I don't think that
Troy made sense for both. Well, I can get why
Jerry Jones did it and we got to stop the
heighth on Macha Parkers man, Like, the dude only has
one set in like four playoff games, right, the ones

(27:15):
that he did have came against a sixty year old
Tom Brady win. The game was hour by the hand,
So let's not ad like he's the second coming of
Bruce Smith or somebody like, come on, lizare puffing the braids.
But for the Packers, it kind of don't make sense
because defense wasn't really their problem. Like you don't even
really know what Jordan Love is. They received drop pass

(27:37):
is like all over the place. So you you you
spent two first round piece on a guy who won't produce,
like in the biggest moment. So I really don't want Jay.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
I think from their end of it number one. I
think they looked at his his youth, they look at us.
So they're corner The worst part of their defense is
the cornerbacks. And I said the safeties are good, linebackers
are good. I think they said, our cornerbacks get better
because we have a guy can get after the quarterback.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Right, it makes our corners look better. Right. And so
I think that.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
You know the Cowboy defense, while he was.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Well, no, I'm talking about the Packers. I'm talking about
the Packers. That's why they won him because.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
But he is right about the Cowboys defense, like like
it just wasn't that even with him on there. Uh
And I know Jerry kind of used that uh as
about stopping the run, but they had what they were
offul on the run.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
I don't know where I'm not disagreeing. I'm not acting
like they were the od three Buccaneers or nothing. But
y'all acting like greatness grows on trees, like all right,
just get rid of them because we're gonna go get
some more greatness.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
No, but it's it's not that.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Just be what did you win with him? It's different.
If it's different, if you want, no, I'll give you that.
If you want something that I say, Okay, well you
won with Tom Brady and now you got rid of them,
and now people gonna look at you and say, can
you win again? I get that, but you didn't win
with it. But let me tell you about right. But
let me did win the Giants. You always talk about

(28:59):
the ELI. Both of those were not just because of ELI.
It was those Front four, Front seven was crazy. So
the more I can stack up greatness, specifically defensively, and
can get after guys, and I at least have checked
one of those guys locked in to go get after people,
there's so much money involved. And that's the issue.

Speaker 6 (29:17):
I'm just saying, because when you go away talent like that,
and I get it, I'm not you don't want to,
but at least I know I got a sure thing.
And and prior to last year, him getting injured and
the other guy's getting into it, the horrible guy, Trayon Diggs
is injured.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Just guy in and out. They were twelve and five three.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Times that the two ninety will get you on the subway.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
But Dagy at least on the subway going somewhere.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
I'm just saying, now, what are you about to be
five and twelve instead of twelve and five.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
I don't know, and he sure got me acting.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Like I'm supporting the Cowboys. I'm just saying they're selling
they were selling themselves.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Okay, if the Cowboys won a playoff game this year,
what would be your I'm not and you would still
be against the trade.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
You, yeah, if they It's multi faceted. It's not just
the similar trade because as you you illustrated early and
I agree, people get traded.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
You name this people, everybody's whatever.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
In my lifetime leads to my knowledge that I can
remember is Luke, Were're like you wake up, You're like
wait what? And my point is it's not just the trade,
is that you didn't get a Like if it came
back and like we got three first rounds, a second
and three players, I'll be like.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Well, damn, I don't think that's realistic.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Two first rounds.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
You don't know, you don't know what you could get,
Like everybody's talking about everybody's not just because they're at
the top of the first round doesn't mean that they're great.
There's other players who weren't drafted in the top of
the first round who turn out to be really good
or great. So so the draft position, I get like,
you have figured that you have a better chance, had
a better playoff. They're a higher draft pick, but it's

(30:51):
not automatic. So it's just the idea that not now
they have those two and two more first round picks
like for the next two years. I'm just saying, I
just washed they draft pretty well the Cowboys they have,
but not the last they have.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
All Right, that was pretty I give it to the
America's team was good. Though I might have shed a
thug t here once or twice.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Oh boy, that's sad.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
It was. It got personal stuff, all right.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Coming up next a little Shekel City. We return to
Shekel City. You'll see where I'm picking TCU or North
Carolina in that game. Will do that because that game,
I think you kind of know that. Plush your hands, sticky,
yours your glove, sticky, mind your business. Okay, I'm just saying,

(31:41):
like all these great catchers, I'm not buying them. We'll
talk about that. Plus uh, Shekel City, all that and more.
It is a magic city Monday on the Odd Couple
in full effect, Rob Parker kelvin Washington right here on
Fox Sports Radio. Stick and stay unless you aren't skeptical
about sticky hands, and then you.

Speaker 2 (32:01):

Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.

Legendary, all time great a couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Rob is back in the building, Rob Parker, Kevin Washington
on a Magic City Monday, I was.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Doing a morning show when his song came out. Then
you have a bit, and we used to do, uh,
we use this song and it was wake that ass off.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yes, that's what it was. That's clever.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
So we used to play that yeah in the morning
and which it was with no Mark Wilson, Okay, And
what it was was you would call up and try
to tell us to call somebody to wake tomorrow, and
then that we played out yeah, what time?

Speaker 3 (33:03):
What time? She said?

Speaker 1 (33:04):
What time was that? The morning? Show was coming time
was the segment. Oh was six to ten, but you
know what I mean, it was like in the first hour.
Oh yeah, check me hack, wake that ass off.

Speaker 6 (33:17):
This song mandates and man, listen, this is one only
songs your grandma's gonna be shaken, but your mom, your wife,
and your little kid. It's just one of those. It's
just everybody gets up and dance with this song. Yeah,
it's one of those, all right. And it signed out
for Shekel City. I saiday, all right.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
The last time I was did a Shekel City twenty three,
two weeks ago, I was zero and three. I'm down
to one ninety one and one ninety eight. At least.
I'm an honest guy. I could have fudged it.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Got a record like that, Elijah would plastic.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
But I'm not that guy. Thank you Elijah forgetting this out.
Here we go tonight. I got TCU minus three and
a half at North I don't care if Michael Jordan's in.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
The building, Lay Taylor's in the building.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
That's all good and well, and I hope TCU does
its thing. I got TCU minus three and a half
as the best bet. Also Seattle minus one and a half.
Uh down in Tampa taking on the Rays, and uh
the Rangers. I got Arizona, I should say the Diamondbacks

(34:25):
minus one and a half hosting the Rangers. So Diamondbacks
minus one and a half runs, Seattle minus one and
a half runs, and TCU minus three and a half points.
And remember, Kelvin, what's that. I'm not telling you who
to bet on. I'm telling you who I bet on.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Bill Belichick, Air up Chapel Hill E.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
R R O R that era. But let's say this, Okay,
I'm sorry, and and Ryan you could jump in and
he's looking at Chris. You could jump in, and Kelvin
you of course.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, all the greatest catchers that we've ever seen, we
saw like four of them.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Over the weekend. This weekend.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, like four of the greatest catches we've ever seen
in college football happen over the week Like that's impossible, incredible,
And there's only one reason. It's the sticky gloves. If
you go to New York and you go to Dallas
BBQ at Times Square on forty second Street, they have
a great restaurant up there and they sell sticky wings,

(35:28):
you know, with a lot of honey or whatever. They're
so sticky like they stick to your hands. I'm not
buying any of these catches. This is all about the gloves,
not about I'm sorry every time I hear oh, that's
the greatest catch I ever saw, or one handed grab
where the guy reaches back the ball just sticks to
his glove.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
I just reviewed it, so I'm throwing a flag on
the play to you. Okay, flag on the play.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
You are right that we're starting to see these catches more,
and they have gloves all the time.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
They have, they've been the point.

Speaker 6 (36:00):
So rob number one reviewing the Odell Beckham junior catch,
just to make sure I'm not crazy.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
That man caught it with two fingers, not just to
hand the palm. He had sticky.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Gloves on two fingers.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Yes, he's about to get you two fingers in a
minute and go one on his head if you're disrespecting
his catch, Okay.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
I don't. I don't respect that catch anymore.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
Two fingers is crazy. One of them was a thumb
and the other was a pointed knowing at you right now.
Number two, If everybody wears the gloves, why isn't everybody
catching like that?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
They just caught four great catch in the great so
the greatest catchers that we've seen in college football all
came off like in a weekend, four game, four catches.

Speaker 8 (36:39):
I think Kelvin's on to the actual cause of this.
We've got an entire generation now that has grown up
with the Odell Beckham catch, and they have practiced every
day week from middle school to high school now in
the college, may even back in gray school to make
that catch.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
No, but you need the gloves Ryan did. Sports Illustrated
did a thing they want to a school yard with kids.
They threw the football around. The kids were dropping the
ball left and right. They put the gloves on Ryan
and they didn't miss. Like they go watch go Google
a story that was written by Sports Illustrated. Why are
you buying this?

Speaker 7 (37:15):
I see where you're coming from, Rob, because I can
see maybe the once you see a bunch of these
things happen, you can't help but question it. It's like
what we saw at the start of the baseball season
with torpedo bats. You remember that when we had one
series where the Yankees just go off and.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Had nine home runs or something. Right, But I'm just.

Speaker 6 (37:33):
Saying, honor the original Rob Doctor J has done things
that everybody does now or not everybody off the time,
But you like that was the first time we saw that.
Jumping from the free throw line. We didn't see it,
but did it with a dagon leg went between his legs.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
But you guys are too young, y'all don't remember when
players used to have stick them. They used to put
their hands in like these pairs right, the stick them
dripping from their hands so that they didn't fumble or
they caught the ball. And the NFL was like one
Monday night there was a video of a guy a
picture and his hands are like sopping with all this

(38:08):
stick them on it, and that's when they stopped saying
you couldn't use it anymore. And my point is that
if that many players are making that many great catches,
you gotta figure that there's some common denominator. If these
catchers are made gloveless, that's that's insane. And you know
my bomb with two fingers gloveless, then then I'm like,

(38:30):
oh my god, none, none of those catches would be
made gloveless. You'll be the greatest thing we ever seen
in the history of sports. All I'm saying is for
me no glove, and you get love. No, I'm convincing
your vacation was visiting your heads. No convinced, no glove,

(38:54):
you get love for me. It's that simple. I'm doing
it the way that man will say the state. You
got that Bill Belichick song coming up.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
We got something about Bill Belichick. No love, no glove,
