Speaker 1 (06:08):
Listen, Rob, Yeah, if he if he goes before Aaron Rodgers,
I guess who's reading his ulogy.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
If he say he don't like Lebron, that ain't changing either.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Tom Brady will never win again. Tom Brady wins. Well,
he never went again again. He never went again again.
All right, you'll getting carried away. All right, let's start here.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, and uh, rob G, can you set the table
here on this trash talking Tuesday? Can you inject us
a little with the news of the day, NBA news
of the day.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
And Rob G, is good telling it for.

Speaker 9 (06:42):
You to ask me to help you at a time
like this when my people are fighting these streets, right,
first of all, to set the table for.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
You were out thereundre rob G.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
What's the name of this city?

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Los Angeles?

Speaker 6 (06:59):
We are not Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
I'm talking.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
We are in the valley, so you know what I'm
talking about. The city is called Los Angeles. And you're
telling people that they don't need to be here, is
what I'm trying to say to you. Is this not California,
San Diego, San Francisco. We could go on and on
and on and telling people they don't belong here.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Come on, mind, you same people, some of those people
maybe have had wives that were both that's right, and.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
They came from somewhere.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
I'm stay out. I'm gonna just stay out there.

Speaker 9 (07:29):
You know what's funny is that both of you guys
live in cities that are very American sounding. I just
want to put that out there because y'all high faluting
rich people.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
But in any event, way and way too Roger, because boy,
have you ever get one more dollar?

Speaker 6 (07:41):
I'm gonna be all your fancy.

Speaker 9 (07:42):
You're rich, I am fancy, and I'm ready. I ain't
gonna be here. I'm like Matthew Johnson. But guys, you
talked about it. Big story over the weekend that bled
over into today. It was reported on Friday evening by
Mark Stein, friend of the show, that the New York
Knicks were planning on reaching out to the Dallas Mavericks
about interviewing Jason Kidd for their vacant head coaching position,

(08:05):
that he's one of the guys that they've targeted to
replace Tom Thibodeaux. Flash forward to Monday morning. ESPN's Brian
Windhorse set on television that the feeling is mutual that
if Jason Kidd were to be granted permission to speak
with the Knicks. He would love to have that conversation
about being the next guy in Gotham.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
I got news for you, Well, Stack, if you're the Knicks.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Don't do it. Don't do it.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
The Knicks need to be childless. They don't need a
kid on the bench. I'm telling you, Jason Kidd has
had ample opportunity. He's had nothing but teen film with stars,
the Nets, KG, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson. What they get

(08:56):
not all he had.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Jonnis and Milwaukee. You get nada in Dallas, Luca.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
And Kyrie, Nada. And now you want to send him
to the Knicks. Don't do it, Nicks. He's at fourth,
This will be his fourth team. Would start players. His
basket is empty.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
As a whole in it. Don't do it. Go get
you a coach.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
That's a proven winner, Michael Malone. Go get Michael Malone.
Stop hoping and wishing. And if you're gonna do this,
you could have kept Tibbs. If you're gonna do it,
he has the same thing Kid Tims.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Hasn't won. Kid hasn't won.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
And guess what, Jason Kidd has a better players in
his coaching career.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
This would be a mistake.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
No, Kid, I wouldn't you know what, I think the
Knicks would be crazy, Calvin.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I just Jason Kid's been around for a long time.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I'm not saying Thattyk coach, But if you're gonna make
such a move, go get me somebody who's done it,
been there, done that has a resume that you can
look at and go, Dude, this guy knows what it
takes to win a championship and that's what the Knicks
will looking for.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
The one area I agree with is the if you're
gonna get rid of Tibbs, you think you're going to
get a super next level up guy and the only way.
A couple of points where I disagree with you. One,
I think you're selling Jason kids short. In a couple areas.
You brought up that Nets team that was a geriatric team.
He was the same age as KG, Paul Pierson, all them.

(10:43):
They were as geriatric old team, well past their Celtic time.
That's why they all went to the Nets. That was
the end of the run for them. Now they should
have never traded for them. But obviously he's not the
general manager, the president of the team. But so that
team was too old to say he didn't win with them,
And then with the Bucks, they were heading in the
right to ruction and they just chose to get rid
of Jason Kidd.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Oh, he was so good rid of him.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
So see he goes to the Messos and he gets
to the NBA Finals, and you're feeling good about the
situation going in this year. You feel like, all right,
if guys are healthy, we got a shot. We got Luca,
we got Kyrie and this, we got some other pieces.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
We got Lively.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
And then they decide to trade him Luca without confront
having consultation with Kid, letting him in on it.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
So obviously it's a it's a it's a coach.

Speaker 10 (11:30):
You're not a front office person, right, but you usually
talk to your coach, especially a guy that massive.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Maybe it's a middle of the night eighth man, nineteenth
man on the bench. I get that Lucas superstar. He's
in those conversations. Now, if you're the next part of
the reason why you want to go get Jason Kidd
is because you want to go get in because of
his relationship with Jalen Brunts. And you say, all right,
they seem to be reports are they're still very close
for good friends. And he obviously is a point guard

(11:56):
who has worked with other guards, and you think maybe
he can get the best out of Jaylen Bronson, because
Jaylen Bronson at this point is probably a top ten player,
and now you can get the best out of him
to work with Carlthony Towns and you say, hey, we've
got some talent in this thing. And I think another
reason why this could work is because the Eastern Conference
is the lesser conference when it comes to the two.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
So I think you're saying, hey.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
That's the case, you could have suck with TIBs, right, whatever,
that logic doesn't worry.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Whatever reason they don't want to stick with Tims. I
said that they could have just stuck with TIBs.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
No, Tims didn't deserve to be there. But I don't
get where the Jason Kidd fascination comes in. I really don't.
But this is not his first job, or you're like
you brought it up, Oh yeah, maybe, or whatever, like
you said, it's like Manty Williams when he went to
the Pistons. Right, Oh, they paid him a ton of money.
Let's go get Minty Williams. They went to the finals,
money went to the final awful, he didn't want the job,

(12:46):
took the money, and it wound up being what a
total disaster, right, just because money Williams went to the
finals with the Suns. He actually if you look at
what went on there, they didn't want him.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
That's why he was available.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
They're gone to the finals, they were up to two
oh and they didn't want another game?

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Right?

Speaker 3 (13:03):
How did they go from winning two games the first
two games are the finals to be in Persada non
grata in Phoenix. That's all I'm saying, Like, don't fall
for that. And no one's gonna be knocking down Manty
williams door right now at this point, not after one
went all that money he made it effythting didn't do
anything with it.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
But I think the knixt you're looking at Jason Kid
again as a really good coach who CA has the
ability to have already has a relationship with Jaalen Brunson,
who can maybe get Jalen Brunson to that next level.
You see what the year two experiment with Karl Anthony
Townsend Jalen Brunston is. We haven't seen that. This was
the first year they're trying to find their way. They
got all the way to the game in half of
the finals. So now you see what you got there.
And again I mentioned the Eastern Conference final. Boston ain't

(13:40):
gonna be Boston right now. We know that Garland's gonna
be out another four to five months with Cleveland, so
you you're missing some pieces there. And then obviously there's
some teams that are middling. Will the Pistons be will
the Pacers be this good again? And you feel like
you're right there in the mix if you're the Knicks
and you feel like he might be able to be
that missing piece as long as you do your job
over the summer and maybe find Phil out the roster
a little bit more so, I think Jason Kidd is

(14:03):
highly interested because I think he is love is loss
with that new ownership and uh and they're the Nico
Harrison also with the Mavericks. So I see why Jason
Kidd is open to this this new operation.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't see why the Knicks would be That's what
I'm talking about. The Knicks are the ones that Jason
Jason Kidd people are always interested. Oh somebody wants me,
Oh there's more money. Oh it's a bigger market. I
understand why Jason Kidd would be interested. Whatever, I'm just
stay in Dallas, Come on Dallas or New York.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
I mean I don't think.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Okay, that's say in Dallas.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Okay, but that doesn't mean I'm just saying, like somebody
wants you and they're gonna offer you more money in
a bigger contract. Okay, Like that's that's what you do
if you're a coach. He played in New Jersey, he
was a coach.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
At the NATS.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
I mean he knows what it is is bigger, everything
is bigger. But if I'm the Knicks, I'm not interested.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
But what.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I understand, Mike Malone won a championship. But I don't
get Mike Malone is this amazing coach quite as you do.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
He's a good coach.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
I have nothing negative and Jason Kidd is not. But
I'm saying saying, and Jason kidds what what?

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Give me? What I'm gonna tell you?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
If you feel like that's your guy, if you feel
like he has a relationship with Jellen Brunton, if you
feel like he's the one that can get Brunton to
have be locked his step for the next few years.
But I Mike Malone did nothing, want a ring, did
nothing like he's done nothing. He doesn't have a reputation
for winning all the time he does.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
He's not.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
He has a ring, and that's that's He never made
it to any other final. Lucky he was below five
hundred for quite some time.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
No, he wasn't. He was.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
He was considered one of the best coaches.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm not I'm not even hating on him, but I'm saying,
you're making like you gotta go get Phil Jackson.

Speaker 10 (15:42):
No, you got to you gotta go get for an
organization that it won a championships in nineteen seventy three,
This is not the place where I want somebody who
maybe might get there.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
If I'm already gonna fire a coach who can't get there,
I don't want another coach who's gonna be on his
fourth job who can't get there. There's somebody available, Okay.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
There's somebody.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
I'm okay with the somebody available who's actually won a
championship I'm with.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I'm saying I'm okay with the somebody's just you're still
in your search. But I don't feel like Mike Malone
is the guy he I don't think he's.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
Better than Jason Kidd. There's no if, ads or butts
in my mind. Who's a better coach? He ain't did
nothing and he got one. Jason Kidd has done nothing
either in three jobs eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Not like he had one job and you're like, oh,
youh not enough time. He's had three jobs already.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
I'm sure is a massive part of this for them.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 11 (16:42):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Would the Knicks be making a mistake if they try
to hire Jason Kidd as their next head coach.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
We'll continue that conversation next with you.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
It is the odd couple on a trash Talking Tuesday,
Rob Parker, Kelvin.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
From TIBs Are You Don't Kid?

Speaker 8 (18:00):
Or No?

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox would take some calls.
Who we got?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Let's go Doug in New York. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
What's up, Doug?

Speaker 7 (18:09):
Guys? How you doing last week?

Speaker 11 (18:10):
I didn't know calling that some of my family didn't
know that I had the rug on my head.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Oh wow, unbelieva.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
I just joined yourself.

Speaker 11 (18:18):
Wow, I outed myself. Yeah, well so we're still good.
It looks nice that so Rob, I want to ask
you what was the worst firing?

Speaker 8 (18:31):
You think what was worst? Was it TIBs or Malone.

Speaker 11 (18:34):
Being fired when they were at that point.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, the Malone one because it was at the end
of the year kind of seemed out of place. Uh, TIBs,
I was with because once you win the first two games,
and you know what I mean, when you beat when
you knocked out Boston, then you lose two games at home,
you were supposed to get to the finals.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
I understand why they fired them.

Speaker 11 (18:53):
I completely agree. I agree with that. I think that
decent kid hearing this a chap in New York would
the monumental I mean, chasing kid would be more known
as a coach than a player with as decorated career
as he had if he won a championship in New York.
And I always wondered why Lebron didn't go to New

(19:13):
York when he was when he went to Miami, because
if he brought a championship to New York, I think
that that that I'm a Jordan guy. But if he
brought a championship to New York, I think that that
puts him into closer than where he is.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, but Doug, the problem was and you know this.
He had this bad ownership there and a lot of
people that Charles Oakley out to build it. Thanks for
the call, Doug, appreciate it, Super Dave in DC. You're
on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
What's up, Super Dave, Hey Fellas, thank you for taking
my call, no doubt real quick man. I'm sorry, but
I gotta agree with Rob Parker on this one man,
and I'm gonna give you a really to key points.
And I only say I would choose uh, the other
guy over Jason Kidd because Mike Malone has the hardware,

(20:08):
he has the jewelry as you stayed, and he's been
there before. He has experience, he did win a championship.
Jason Kidd has had ample opportunities to win championship at
the championship and he hasn't done it with any of
his rosters. But before I go, I want to say,
there are other better options out there. I feel like,
I feel like you can you can go call that.
Jeff Gundy from the clip, Jeff Van Gundy from the Clippers,

(20:32):
Mark Jackson is out there. But listen, guys, a guy
that I don't understand and never gotten opportunity it's Sam Casseil.
Why has this Sam Cacil been given that?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Man, that's a that's a that's a that's a great call.
Sam Cassell has earned it. He's been on the bench
for a long time. He deserves an opportunity. Name has
come up several time. Squeeze one more in real quick? Uh,
Peter and Honolulu, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 6 (20:58):
What's up, Peter?

Speaker 12 (21:02):
Hey, what's up? Guys? Brant with this? I hadn't I
hadn't seen much of Brunson's play when he was in
Dallas and stuff like that. But seeing him in the
playoffs and this and that. If Jason Kidd can bring
out get Bunching to stop dribbling the ball four hundred
times in possession and may be passing it. If he

(21:26):
can bring something out of Bunching. Malone and Jay Kidd
are both five hundred coaches. They both have over five
hundred winning percentage.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
But one guy did win a champ and and.

Speaker 12 (21:39):
I'll tell you this he didn't. But wait a second.
Malone only won one championship with the joker.

Speaker 7 (21:46):
Okay, what you mean?

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Only one?

Speaker 7 (21:48):
One?

Speaker 3 (21:48):
I can I can name a ton of.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
You got the best play in the world from ULTI
get to the finals swice in a row.

Speaker 12 (21:58):
Especially on the planet.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
There's a lot of play with Peter, there's a lot
of players who.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Would take yeah, but they also depleted the bench.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Come on, Peter, be fair, like you know that the
guys who won that championship team they got rid of You.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
Know that, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon. That's enough.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
He doesn't even have them, Steve ze Seger, he doesn't
even have a second.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Don't say if you say all Star jumps, get up there.
I'm tired of you bringing that up. Like Jamal Murray

Speaker 8 (22:58):
What up bro having them brothers? How y'all doing doing good?

Speaker 6 (23:02):
Man doing well?

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Uh? Rob and I have the conversation here just quick,
because you're a hoop fan, you love basketball as well.
Jason Kidd having some interest with the next Knicks having
an interest with him. Just your thoughts as Kid, a
guys or somebody else here look out there for that
new head coaching position.

Speaker 8 (23:17):
I mean, I think I think Jason Hill would be great.
I think he'd be great for the Knicks. You know,
it's do you want to go to? Do you have
more confidence and the rosters you're gonna have next year
when Tyrie comes back in Cooper flags are are the
Knicks gonna go all in? Because as it stands, I'm

(23:39):
staying in Dallas. But if they don't want to go
all in to get Yanni's then I'm taking the next job.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah I'm not. I'm not a Jason kidds fan.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
I mean, I know he's been on this will this
would be if he went to the Knicks, that'll be
four jobs. Didn't win with Giannis had the old dinosaur nets.

Speaker 6 (23:59):
Uh peer, Yeah, I can't believe expectations, doubts.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
I'm just saying, if I'm the Knicks, if I'm going
to fire coach without a championship, I want to hire
one who's won one.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
That's just where I'm at. Uh, let's go to the NFL.
Aaron Rodgers is finally there.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
I guess people can't criticize him for not being at
ot as where he wasn't on the team. But now
he's on the team and it seems like he's fitting
in and his teammates. It's different. You talk differently about
somebody when they're out there as soon as.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
He shows up.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Exactly all of Jersey exactly. You know how that goes, right, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
It's like when you talk trash about Calvin when when
when I'm filling in for him the next day when
he comes back, it's like, hey, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
You gotta thank you for telling me if he try
to act like that, and we'll be going on talk
trash what he's here?

Speaker 6 (24:53):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 8 (24:54):
That's true? Y'all? Do be getting at each other looking.
I think it's one of those situations of look, don't
talk to me to death, right, don't tell me what
you're about to do or what you're thinking you're gonna do,
show me what you're gonna do. And by him showing
up and being there, it's a different conversation. Now, the
conversationships to can you help us? Can you help us

(25:17):
win a playoff game?

Speaker 7 (25:19):
Right?

Speaker 8 (25:19):
Because we know the Steelers as they're presently built, Uh,
they're good enough to make the playoffs. Can they get
over that hump and win a playoff game? And then
after that anything's on the table. So I think, just
like before any season starts, people are optimistic. Right. We

(25:40):
saw much optimism the New York Jets had last year
and the year before when Aaron Rodgers first got there,
they were talking super Bowl and super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Tell you that should be the title of his book
for snap you know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (25:57):
We were able to do some things without a quarterback
who's had any type of success. Now outside of you
know Russell last year. Now you have someone can you
tap into that? They're hoping so in the team, the
team is going to rally around them.

Speaker 6 (26:14):
Yeah, well obviously we're gonna wait and see.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
That's a tough division right now when you look at
all the team, the other teams that are in there,
But stay there for a minute with me. What are
the expectations all if you're are you doing this because
the wins? So see this how rumors get started. You
said wins, I said, I said seven to nine eight wins?
Actually eight seven eight wins? Are you doing this just

(26:37):
to say we got that monkey off our back? We
won a playoff game? Because I don't see this's not
as if this is a super Bowl team and you
only have a one year deal with them. I genuinely
don't get the point move Aaron Rodgers. It's not a
knock on him. It's more of a knock on the Steelers.
This is what they're doing it for.

Speaker 8 (26:53):
Yeah, thank you, thank.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
You, thank you.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
Yes, they're doing it to win a playoff game. Once
you get that part, once you get that out of
the way, once you exercise that demon, so to speak,
then anything is on the table. Okay, can we win too?
Can we sneak into the AFC Championship game? Right?

Speaker 9 (27:13):
Like?

Speaker 8 (27:14):
Once that goes, you know that Aaron Rodgers history in
terms of performing in the postseason, all you want You
just want to catch lightning in the bottle, man. You
want to catch lightning in a bottle And like I said,
without Aaron Rodgers on the roster, they're good for nine
wins and wins already. That's what they've proven that Mike

(27:37):
Thomas whi quarterback.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
That's what I said, with no quarterback, with no quarterback,
I'm picking them for eleven wins because I've given Aaron
Rodgers that. And here's another thing too. From this is
the NFL. And this is what I try to tell Kelvin.
They have taken all these quarterbacks, all these great quarterbacks
have finished with other teams where teams are willing to

(27:59):
do that for a year or two. Peyton Manning, who
was Joe Montana finished with Kansas City. I could go
on and on and on all these teams and all
these great quarterback Brett Favre, the Jets and the Vikings
like teams because there's so few good quarterbacks. He from
right that you would take it and give yourself a chance,

(28:23):
and you never know what could happen in the playoffs.

Speaker 8 (28:26):
Look at look at Joe Flacco. He's still alive. Yeah, right,
Joe Flacco tried to leave the league and he was
at home and they keep breathing lights back into his body.
And so why wouldn't you take a chance in a
flyer on a quarterback with the cashet of an Aaron
Rodgers who can't make the throws. He's not as mobile

(28:46):
as he was, he's not as dangerous as he was.
But you're a defense first team anyway. All you want
to do is be able to prolong drives, get the
ball to the weapons that you've acquired, and try to
sneak into well not even heak into the playoffs, but
I mean, you know, sneaking to the second round of
the playoffs and then then you know all the money's

(29:08):
on the table, you can you can go for broke
after that.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
Yeah, I don't buy it.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
It sounds good, and we'll be having all these conversations
throughout the fall because I ain't buy none of that.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, but he bought the Pistons over the Knicks for
a pair of Jordan's.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
He bought that though, Wow, that that is a whole
tifferent time he bought the whole different time.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
He brought the Lions over the Commanders to a home.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
I mean, the best about the Lions he's saying is
the man picked a line against the Lions every week
and was wrong every week.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
But don't bring that up. He don't bring that up
to a fifteen to two.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
He from the biggest game, But don't bring home against
a rookie quarterback.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
You from a man with a torn of key and
the tour and man went five and twelve. Y'all selling
me that that's our savior. Y'all gotta stay. It will
be forty two years old.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
You're not saying he's your savior. What we're saying is
they're good for eight or nine.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yes, without and this is the first time. He won't
be Mike Tomlin will not be five hundred. This is
the first time it will happen because that's what.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
I will. But I will.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I just told you you said eleven wins. I'll take
that bet any day. Rob Parker, know.

Speaker 8 (30:16):
What you just said. That's not eleven wins.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
That's so I got two different bets. I have a
bet with you and I have a bet with Rod.

Speaker 8 (30:27):
That sounds I bet you one dollar.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
All right, you gotta give me. I can't even get up.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Give me a give me I can't get up, Yeah,
give me a I can't get a double burger. I
can't get nothing with a dollar? What bet we will
figure out the We'll figure out the bet right now.
We got a break, brother, Thank you as always from
I'll text you the bet and we'll have.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
It ready for next week.

Speaker 8 (30:47):
Got you all right?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
You already told us. But maybe it'll be a celebratory
Shekel City. That's what we'll do for Rob. On the
other side, it's the October Rock Parker, Kevin Washington.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
You know what I need?

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Some breathing room, five games. Finally, I know, But still
I'm over. I was bad.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
I was in the whole big time.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
All I'm saying is I dug myself out.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Today right now to just give you the warning. And
they're not like breaking ankles and breaking legs and it.
They ain't bring it back to the meeting yet. Okay,
all right, here we go. Best bet what you got?
This was all of course posted earlier. I got the
Yankees minus one and a half run. Guess what the
score is right now?

Speaker 6 (32:46):
What did they have? Two? Two? Nothing? Your boy?

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Aaron Judge, Aaron Judge goes deep in Kansas City.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Yeah, how was he blasted that one? Non Judge? There
you go, he blasted that one.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Uh, Houston Astros minus one and a half runs. They
are hosting the Chicago White Sox, and last but not least,
the Giants minus two and a half.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
They're in Denver taking on the Colorado Rockies.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
So we got the Giants minus two and a half,
the Astros minus one and a half, and the New
York Yankees minus one and a half. And remember Calvin,
what's that I'm not telling you who to bet on,
which I'm telling you who I bet on? And pitching
for the Yankees tonight, Max Free feeling yourself? Who is

(33:33):
the America League cy Young? Except for people in Detroit
who say it's schoolboy.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
Of course they do, of course they do, which would
be a good long It's a long season.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
He's eight and one though he's been been really good
and he always wins after the Yankees lose.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
That's I think he's like six and oh every time
they lose.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
That's a stopper way to go. You just ruined it, Yankee.
You use five to four now all right? It is
also time four your tierack player.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Five one the Panthers in front of five on three
continuing Forest Linger right point fores Linger cross decode, Mikala
hit the line near Son one time drive. They score
a power play goal timer from Evan Rodriguez, hand up, Panthers,
ou lead six to one.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Panthers Radio network right there in a pretty exciting Stanley
Cup Finals. For those who checking it out, you have
your tire rack play of the day, and of course
tire Iraq has been helping you for over forty years.
Tirerak has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship Fast and free back
by free Road has a protection with convenient insulation options
like mobile tire Insulation tire rack dot Com. It is

(34:40):
the way tire buying should be. By the way, Rob,
we got something. We were talking a little bit with Ethan.
There's still some more football news. You got the Bengals
and Hendrickson and he's holding out. You got some holdouts
there going on right now. We got a bunch going
throughout the NFL, but specifically there in Cincinnati. They seem
to be hell bent on just not having a defense,

(35:02):
Like just run it back and we'll just get more
offense out of you.

Speaker 9 (35:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
This has been one of the issues with them for
not having money, not spending money. I just watching fins
repeat what we're seeing right now with the Bengals. Are
think gonna end up being with another frustrated Joe Burrow year.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
While what they do and they signed, they signed their
two receivers. You think you're gonna do that, that's gonna
win you something. We saw it last year if I'm
ownership or the front office and my quarterback those nine
touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens defense and we don't get
one win.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
How in the world is that gonna be good?

Speaker 1 (35:37):
How they have their Yeah, they have their best defensive
player out there still waiting to see what's gonna happen there.
They lost some other players, they had some defensive players retire.
Uh and again they're in it. They're in a count
they're in a division where they're gonna have to stop
some people.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Maybe this Steelers haven't even signed their first round pick,
who's a defensive player.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
And then maybe the Steelers are better with Aaron Rodgers
that's out there to be you know, seeing obviously the
Browns are expecting.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
To be better than they were. And then we know
what Lamar Jackson with the Ravens are.

Speaker 8 (36:05):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
So this team is frustrated as Joe Burrow. I mean,
I don't know if I've ever seen the quarterback more frustrated.
Who had an MVP type year, who had was had
a receiver seting records, triple crown in US but again,
it accounted for nothing in losing games that they felt
like I did way more than enough to actually win.
So the only thing I can think is if they're saying,

(36:26):
we are just gonna be, you know, a modern day
best show on turf, you know, the greatest show on turf.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
If that shouldn't be for a team that went to
the super Bowl a couple of years ago. I mean,
I like, they didn't go to Super Bowls nine years ago.
It was like two seasons ago, right, was it two
years ago?

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, they're gonna maybe maybe maybe three. But the point
is it's getting my point on recent time. But I mean, listen,
I think they're saying, Joe, we gave you what you
asked for. Joe was saying, why can't we be more
like the Philadelphia Eagles were they figured out.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
The you know where he worked.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
I'm seriously, Daddy is not a big town Mike Brown
is a fan. That's a family business. That's not your
plate toy because you're a multi billionaire with tech college
stuff people that makes.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
The money that.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
I do think people have to realize that sometimes to
your point that we ever had owned owners not any sport. Yes,
a lot of them got you know, great, great great
the granddaddy got it in the forties and fifties, held
on to it when it was only it only cost
him two million dollars.

Speaker 6 (37:28):
Now here we are. But this is it, This is
the income, This is the business.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Is that the Lakers for a long time stop wouldn't
pay money for coaches. They would have, they would have
been able to get Tyron Lou, but they didn't want
to want to pay, and they got JJ Reddick.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
They didn't want to pay, you know, pay a big
time salary.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
I think they're still regretting that Tyron Lou because that
would have been just that just made all the sense
in the world, just because let the man pick his
assistant coaches.

Speaker 6 (37:52):
It's the big deal with that. Still don't understand that.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
But yeah, the Bengals being the Bengals, and they might
have a more frustrated Joe Burrow, but he got at
least nothing else.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
He got his receiver as a bunch of money. All right.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Still some more football news in the same division. Who's
climbing up the ladder when it comes to the depth
chart will tell you. Fox Sports Radio, Pittsburgh
