you want. Yeah, we'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I got something. One's gotta go. All right, Uh, let's
get into this, Rob G jump in. Uh. Tom Brady
has pushed back on people who think that not only
it's a bad look that he has a minority.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Owner and.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
He's they was done with d Yeah, I was gonna say,
can we call him a suburban that sound like a
d I right now? Minority minority owner and of course
broadcaster on Fox.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
And a lot of people think it's a conflict of
interest and the pushback on it, even former players and
whatnot have said that it's just a bad look for
the NFL or allow him to talk to people with
Rob G. He pushed back today and classify people as what.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Yeah, Tom Brady's not a fan of people like Rob
Parker today what because he put out a lengthy post
on his I guess it's a newsletter look like can
more like a block to me.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But in discussing this whole situation, is that in between
counting the seventy five million dollars to play fag football,
he said he.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Didn't take Yes, did you see that?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I did see that?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yes, dude, Come on, really listen.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
You know what could be done with seventy five million
dollars for the people who are living in cardboard boxes
on the streets of Los Angeles. You beat me too.
We've been on the scared row and I can show
you seventy five million for us.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, go ahead, Rob, all right, there's no any different conversations.
We're gonna make the next week's update after this, right.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
So uh.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Brady posted a lengthy response to that whole situation, and
people are complaining that he can't have both. He can't
be a broadcaster and an owner's a conflict of interest.
Here's what he said, in part quote. I love football
at its core. It's a game of principles, and with
all the success that has given me, I feel I
have a moral and ethical duty to the sport, which
is why the point where my roles intersect is not
(07:08):
actually a point of conflict, despite what the paranoid and
distrustful might believe. Rather, it's the place from which my
ethical duty emerges to grow, evolve, and improve the game
that is given me everything.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Would what do you say? Call people again?
Speaker 7 (07:24):
He called you, Rob Parker, paranoid and distressful.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And Tom Brady, is this on? I hope you're listening
loud and clear. There's a reason that people don't trust
you in this circumstance because along with being a great quarterback,
you're a great cheater and you come from an organization
that did nothing but cheat.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
The flay Gate, spy gating, what was the other gate?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It was one more all the gates. I got a
couple games for you, all right, Like they's just so
many things out there. And Tom Brady, you're the one
who was suspended by the National Football League. Do you
remember when you destroyed your phone rather than cooperate all
Tom Brady had to do. I'll never forget this moment
(08:20):
in NFL history when Peter Alexander from NBC News looked
you straight in the face and said, is Tom Brady
a cheater? He shrugged his shoulders, threw his hands up
and said, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
What do you mean, I don't think so, that's what
he said. I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
But he destroyed his phone rather than cooperate with the NFL.
Somehow he had three hundred text messages with a guy
he said he didn't know anything about, either they were
having a relationship or something else. I mean, you have
three hundred text messages and you don't know he claims.
You know the guy personally and his nickname was the
(09:04):
deflator in those Texas. Can you help me?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
You don't know who that guy is.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Come on, Tom, this is why people don't trust you.
Your history, your legacy is filled with cheating. Why would
you stop now? And you could say, oh, I didn't
know what was going on. Oh g golly with I
I don't know stop it. You knew what was going
(09:34):
on with the deflated footballs of anything respect.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Him had no knowledge. So my point is simple.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
People don't think this is a good idea and it
is a conflict of interest and you can't see it
because you want what you want. You want the high
paying television job, yet you want to be an owner.
Nobody else is doing that, nobody else because it doesn't
go together for the fellow coaches, and people go, oh,
(10:06):
they're a big deal. They just like you. In reality,
if they were asked an honest question where maybe they
didn't won't have to be counted, they'd have a different response.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Look, I mean, you already touched on we've talked about this,
and then you touched on some of the things that
I'm gonna add to it. So Tom Brady went from
the flating and scrubbing balls to scrubbing calls, right. He
went to you know, hey, scrubbing them calls out the
call log. And we know about the flat gate, Tampa Gate,
don't forget Tampa Gate with Tampa won with the Dolphins.
(10:37):
And this is what I think he's misconstruing.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Tom.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Let's say you've turned a new leaf. Nobody's saying you're
going to but dagging people.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Say you can.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
And I don't think I don't understand how he can
have an issue with people saying there's a possibility when
you had the track record. But also we've known in
sports people try to find a competitive edge. Let me
add another one that he did wasn't illegal, but it
was him and somebody else trying to find a competitive edge.
You remember when he and his fellow great who found
out now they're like best of buzz. They didn't want
(11:07):
us to know when they were playing Peyton Manning. Remember
they went and talked to the league about stop hitting
us low and we don't want to hit us here,
and they're hitting us like that.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
And then Tom Brady a few years back, Man, they
gotta take hits.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I was out there taking hits Tom easy, Tom, You
and Peyton Manning were the main two going about we're
getting hit too hard, we're getting hit too low, and
get you here.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Also the ones who went to the league to ask
that they have their own balls every time they were quarterbacking,
their balls came in and that's how and that's the
whole thing.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Came back with es or something else. There just be
one game ball right.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So again, what he's misconstruing is nobody is walking. I
think he's taking it as if people were saying, oh,
you're going to repairano. No, we're saying, what we've learned
about sports, people are going to find a competitive edge,
whether they're gonna be habitual line steppers and great there
on the line, or if they're gonna cross it a bit,
whether it's steroids and track We know how flunny that
(11:59):
was throughout the eighties, nineties, early two thousands. We know
about it in baseball, we know about we just got
all this stuff with the Clippers allegedly. Point is, people
teams are gonna take full advantage of opportunities. Tom, you
have a track record of it, or at least being
a line stepper. So the idea that if there is
a competitive edge to we had, you wouldn't take it.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
All you gotta do is say, hey, man, I ain't
here for none of that. I'm here to play ball,
help you know, or help my team win. But you
don't have to act like we're crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
That's the part.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You don't act like we're crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Like, oh my god, who would Why should distrustful and paranoid?
Come on, Tom, paranoid is if the aliens are coming
on this day, then we got timp Okay, they were paranoid.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I'm in my sleep. Somebody's breaking in my house. That's paranoid.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
This is just a proven track record that you have,
improven track record that people have oftentimes in professional sports
trying to find a competitive edge.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
It happens annually.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Look at it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What Michigan did, look at what other teams have done
and other things. So don't act like we're crazy, we're distrustful,
or we're paranoid. That's the part that I him me
if he defended himself like, Man, I'm not gonna be
I'm gonna be on the up and up and I'm
ready to help the Raiders. Cool, that's what he believes.
But don't put it on us like we're crazy or naive.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Uh eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Where are
you on this Tom Brady pushback? Are we crazy much? Sugar?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Nuugh?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Maybe we are? Or is Tom Brady crazy in the
thinking that given his history, we shouldn't be concerned because
cheating is littered amongst his legacy. This guy got suspended
for four games. Think about that for deflating the football
and not cooperating. It is the odd couple on a
(13:48):
worship Wednesday, Rob Parker, kelvin Washington, right here on Fox
Sports Radio. And you know what you need to do?
Let the air out of their football and still and
stay unless you like your balls like Tom Brady does.
I don't want anyone touching the balls.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Meg in Montana, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (17:38):

You're doing all right, man, don't let us our little
bit of yelling. He's still doing all right.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Well, that's true, but I have Tom Brady.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Screw that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
He is such a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I hold on all right, is that toe on the line?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Shoot me the FCC list. Let me see the list, right,
I've said worse on radio, but I thought.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
That want to be caught up with the f SEC
right now, right now?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I came back in a couple of days like look,
I ain't really mean it like that, and just remember this.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
You could say I'm tired of bitching, but that's the
extent you could say.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Okay, well she was tired of his. All right, Uh,
Jerome and Charleston, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
What's up, buddy?
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Hey, all these all these people would get ahead in
life by cheating, and me the old ghetto saying, when
you think you're playing me, you playing yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Okay, okay, keep on.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
Playing yourself, Tom Brady, because you ain't fooling nobody. You
and all these uli, all these athletes and celebrities and
politicians didn't lie and cheat to get ahead. You ain't
fooling nobody. You're just playing yourself. Keep on doing it
because that's how you survived. But I wouldn't do that
because I want to be able to sleep at night,
have a clear conscience.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
All right, Well, thank you, buddy, to ermy Rome, appreciate
the call. How about calling mobile Alabama. You're on the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Call?
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Hey Fellas, good to see, talk to you guys again.
Him called him wild. But I had to chime in
on this one. If the NFL doesn't see a problem
with it, then every other team should be able to
send a representive into their upcoming upcoming opponents, uh building interview,
getting guys heads and all that, and then sitting in
the booths the following week into the game and give
(19:32):
give his input.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Here's yeah, Carl, you ain't wrong. But here's the trouble.
The nb NFL, I should say, is invested. We got
a third of a million dollars invested in this guy,
so we're gonna make sure we just paying him, not
the NFL. But the NFL has to be all in
on Tom. And what do they do already they've already
scaled back.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Remember, Oh, well, we're gonna lessen the restrictions on him.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
My point is they're in bed with Tom Brady too,
and so they're gonna make sure this thing works. As
long as he's not going out here crazy, you know,
and getting caught film and something or something.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
They're gonna try to make this work. They all in bed.
They want this to work for Tom and Fox and
work for the NFL as a whole. All right, Rob,
g you got YouTube.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
Called the YouTube comments coming in hot and heavy, the
odd mob. I'll read a few of them for you guys, right,
Phillips says, dude talking about Tom Brady, do learn how
to record everybody's play options from Bill?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
And now he has Fox or veilance cameras. That this
one's kind of tough.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Above the cloud says Tom Brady be cheating just like
my ex wife with their co worker.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Wow, and here's the best one.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Desmond says, I've been listening on the radio for five years.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I thought Rob Parker was white? What what? What you know?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I ain't gonna lie what I ain't gonna lie. The
controversy would have been a lot bigger. What you said
about Largiemond.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Is he is he blacked? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I don't know a lot of white, but boy, oh boy,
if you were white, and what you said of an
RG three, you'd have been on the chemel boy, I
took her. I ain't mean it like that. What I
was trying to say was I told you this before
when I was on the radio in Detroit. I was
married and my wife was a pharmaceutical sales rapper.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
She visited doctors.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
I asked my wife was and uh.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
They used to ask her, are you married to because
her name is Parker? You married to Rob Parker on
the radio, and then they would ask her is he Jewish?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I swear to you, No, that's what now that asked
her Jewish? Well, we already know what is Mike Stone,
who's part of the tribe, says that you are honorary whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Is he a Jewish man in a black man's body. Yeah,
he ain't wrong when he's right.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I just was like, what, I don't Maybe it's just
a New York's New York good thing.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Every time I leave you and we walk out getting
to our car and say, all right, Rob seeing her
or whatever you say, see.
Speaker 4 (21:56):

Speaker 1 (22:21):
The NFL is having conversations about the Super Bowl, and
you and I have talked about just kind of the
NBA NFL where they're going as far as streaming and things.
And Roger Condelle put out the thought that it ain't
crazy to have it all streaming Super Bowl around twenty
thirty and when and thought and theory, you're like, wait, whoa,
because we all grew up where the Super Bowl was on,
(22:41):
you know, to be on Fox or NBC or ABC
kind of easy. Whether you had the little TV you
just turned it, or you had cable you can access it.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
It was easy.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
It was free and just watch TV.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
If you had the rabbit ears, you could just turn
on the Super Bowl for years, for decades. And now
the idea, we talk about this all the time. Can't
watch this game, can't watch this this NBA game is
MLB games on Apple Plus. It's hard to find. But
the but this is not to me. This is where
we're heading. This is five years from now. If this
is actually what it ends up being, it's only where
(23:14):
we're headed. The money they believe is in streaming. The
numbers are in streaming. The young people that are trying to
get aren't streaming. They're also trying to go beyond just
the United States and trying to go to the world,
and that obviously you can't just have a spectrum cable,
right They're gonna have to start going digital and streaming.
So while it'll be unfortunate because we're just used to
having it on your traditional two, four to seven kind
(23:36):
of thing, that's just where we're headed, rob and we
all have to kind of wrap our heads around it
and out check all our passwords can get into a
million of.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
These streaming because there are a lot of people who
eventually will will push back on the streaming as well
financially that I can't have eight streaming things, which equals
to the old cable bill. Boxing made the money, They
took the money, and it damaged the sport. All these
kids who grew up never seeing a fight, okay, because
the fights come on at midnight Eastern and they don't
(24:06):
have the pay per view and they don't have one
hundred dollars. So what happens is you don't pass that
down to your kids because you never watch boxing with
your Dad on a Saturday afternoon ABC Wide World of
Sports and all that. I'm not saying that sport's gonna
go away, but there's a reason why the Yankees and Mets,
even in New York, could take all the cable money
(24:26):
and say, oh, well, you don't have cable, bit sorry,
it can't help you. They put games on free TV,
not all of them, but they understand the importance. And
you can go ahead and try to get people watch
in Brazil and all and I get all that, but
you will have it and there will be some damage
because you think everybody has cable, you think everybody has streaming.
(24:47):
Everybody doesn't. I know a lot of people who don't
have it and can't spend the money on it, and
the only time they get to watch a game. And
that's why the numbers for Sunday night football so big
because it's free. It free, but I can turn on
NBC and watch a football game and the numbers are big.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
I'm telling you, I'm not disagreeing.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And we've talked about the challenge that I have though,
is that I think they're gonna bank on You're headed
that way regardless, because too much great content like on
network I.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Can do some of it. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
But the super Bowl, Rod, that's the one they figure
if you don't have it, and maybe a Sunday you don't,
I get it. The super Bowl, you're gonna be at
Uncle so and so Bob's house, said bar watching with everybody.
So this is the one time they're gonna say, all right,
I can hear Rod Parker for some of the other
other weeks, all right, Kelvin Washington, on some of these
other sundays, I get it. But the super Bowl, you're
(25:39):
gonna be somewhere where you can watch this because this
is an American holiday, and dang it, you ain't missing this.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
And that's what they're gonna be banking on. Here's the point.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
There's three hundred million people in the United States, and
every super Bowl they tell you one hundred million watched,
there's two hundred million that did not watch. I'm just saying,
like everybody thinks that everybody's watched, everybody's not watching super
Bowl Sunday a third of the country, which is an
enormous number. No, it's an enormous number, but it ain't everybody.
And they don't get three as matter of fact, they
(26:09):
don't get three hundred million, three million. Now, No, I'm
just trying to make a poor But and then that's
everybody does. Everybody's not into football. But then you're gonna
you're gonna x out everybody doesn't have it. You be
surprised how many people don't have cable.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I don't don't have Stream, I don't have everyone we listen,
we don't I have right now, there are stuff that
don't have Apple Plus because I had the freeze, you know,
like I got a new iPhone, you get it for
ninety days free or whatever, and I ended up not
having that. There might even be like one more and
more that everybody has it. I don't think I have
Peacock like like I'm not having everybody can't have them all.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
And that's the problem is uh, that's what they they
It's all been cut up. So they want you to
do that where you have all these different things and
people make decisions and choices, you know, and at some point,
and to me, and I'm just saying this, like not
if you have Amazon because of the packages, save Prime, right,
you already save the money whatever it is fifteen dollars
(27:11):
sixteen dollars a month, and you know, you you ordered
four packages. They've already paid for your right with the postage,
and you get them. You get the Amazon, you get
the television.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I mean, well, that's why they're going crazy with bundles.
You go on the Verizon and get a new you know,
I'm out of line because I got a kid. Well
you get packaged the Apple Music with Spotify and ESBN
Plus and Fox Sports this and then I mean they
package it all up in bundle because they're all going
to try to get some which, by the way, the
funniest thing about this is it ends up turning in
the cable again where you get this and part of
(27:42):
your cable you can ad HBO, you get actually see
Cinemax and Stars and we're essentially doing the same thing again.
That's the funniest part history repeating itself. But that's what
they're banking on, that's where they're going. And I think
that I think these sports France leagues in America are
trying to emulate now what football soccer we call it.
It's starting to become where you're bohemoth in your area,
(28:05):
but you actually are huge in other parts of the
world as well. And I think football, for as big
as it is in America, it ain't nothing anywhere else.
And I think they're saying, well, why can't we be
like our counterpart, football is in soccer and start expanding.
I don't like it because if you're the if you're
the Chargers, why don't have to have my home opener
in Brazil like they did?
Speaker 4 (28:24):
But that money month? You know what, money wants more money.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
But the NFL has tried leagues in Europe before it
like that, like more than one, and they all failed
and trying to get they tried to get into that
market twenty five years ago. This is not new, you
know what I mean? Talk about twenty five years ago?
What was it the europe League, NFL Europe and the
World League or whatever. This is not the new idea concept.
(28:50):
It just didn't work. People weren't buying no tickets. They
want to see the best of the best. And I
get that, and there's nothing wrong with trying to expand
your market, but don't mess with home. What they always
tell you, don't mess up home. Be careful about home
because people will be like, Okay, well I can't see
the game.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I just won't watch what I don't watch I like
you brought up a point about the you know, one
hundred and fiftywo hundred and fifty whatever people is that
don't watch super Who are those people?
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
There's plenty Manzi do you know, Rob g Who are
the people not watching SUP other than Alex?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
But I'm just saying, like, who's not watching three hundred
and thirty million people in the United States?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, so let's assume some are homeless, Let's assume some
are nursing home like I could care less.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
You gotta say what, two thirds of the country is
watching it.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I won't watch it conservatively. No, it's a little less
than hatey.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Because they count the Nielsen rating is TVs. They're not
counting the people who at Super Bowl parties.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
That's true. Like in my house they're watching. There's ten
of us here, so.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
There's one hundred and twenty household or boxes. It's not
nah that the number is not that big they do.
The number is less than you would think it is.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I don't know anybody. I got really not anybody. But
if I poll, if I went through my phone and
just thought of one hundred people a good eighty something
watching the Super Bowl. Even if they don't like football,
they're just their party. I'm there for the halftime show.
I'm there because I like wings.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I think you think everybody's at a Super Bowl part
of Super Bowl Sunday. A lot of people are, don't
get me wrong, but everybody. You'd be surprised. There's a
lot of people the Poe. You know what, there's my
poll for the day. Elijah, get ready.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I'm getting ready to put that up my Instagram and
uh a couple Instagram.
Speaker 3 (30:27):

Seldom do I do that. Yankees minus two and a half,
and of course they left the basin loaded in the
first TENNI. Yeah, Yankees minus two and a half against
(31:54):
the White Sox. I got clear. Uh the Cincinnati Reds
plus one and a half taking on Paul Schemes, and
uh the Pirates. It's one nothing Pittsburgh. We're in the
fifth inning already in Cincinnati. Hunter Green on the mound
for the Reds, and I have sorry about this, Kelvin.
(32:14):
What's that? Cleveland minus one and a half against the
Tigers are in the third inning in Cleveland.

a half tonight Cincinnati plus one and a half and
the New York Yankees minus two and a half. I
did say the Yankies, oh haul, thank you. And remember, Kelvin,

Speaker 1 (32:54):
They comes Sutton about thirty so none a time home day.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
The New York Yankees say, there you have it, Yankees Radio.
That was New Sims.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, that was a great ending right there. We were
talking about it a little bit yesterday. There you having
your tirec play the day brought to you by Tirack.

Ship Fast and free back by free Road has a
protection with convenient insulation options like mobile tire Insulation tire
Raq dot com. It is the way Tyre Brince should be.
(33:31):
Rob I want to do something, man, I want to
give Alex hit me with an applause, please. This is
for somebody. We talked about it a little bit. I
feel like you were gone one of these days, Rob
G wasn't me and you talking about this even more.
This applause is for a young man who has his
whole future ahead of him, who he hopes is a
(33:52):
long future in the NBA. And this is to Ace Bailey.
Ace Bailey, Uh, super talented kid coming out of Rutgers.
He ended up being, of course a pick high draft pick.
We leave the number two, number five pick. I'm sorry,
number five pick one of the he had. He had
an agent who guy who was representing him, and that
was a family friend and somebody that you know, he
(34:13):
had trust in, but had a sketchy background, uh, that
people were concerned about and that people were saying, Yo, man,
you might not want to do business with him as
you continue to move forward.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
And Omar Cooper.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Omar Cooper had a background, some sketchy things in his past,
had some sketchy things happened with his own son who
played basketball.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
We all had an etchy sketch.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Yeah, we all had a sketch that I love to
let's sketch.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
And he was starting to sabotage as Bailey early and
that he wasn't gonna go for play with the Wizards.
He better not get drafted by the Jazz. He ain't
gonna show up. He's not gonna do this. Reports that
Omar Cooper was saying, and you got to pay me
to do interviews. And it's a family friend, and anybody
knows sometimes made loyalty to fault, right. I grew up
with him, My parents knew him, my dad knew him,
(34:56):
or he was my you know, mentor and my coaching.
Loyal to a faul where it could prodie your career
hurts you. And now he's barely decided to move on.
Reports are that he's probably gonna do business with Clutch Sports.
And to me, he's now by all the councilors saying
he's locked in with the Jazz. He's going there. He's
fully focused on being the best player he can be
for that team. And that's great news, man, because I
(35:19):
liked hearing that that he's moving forward. He's trying to progress.
You don't owe many people things. You don't have to
stick with somebody, So I agree with that, But it
doesn't mean that you also have to run away from people, right.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I know in this situation, it didn't sound like it
was working.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
But I think it's that there's a difference between you
can be around you can be a part of my future.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Yeah, I'm just saying you don't have to be the same.
But there's also for every story you're given that they're good,
there are stories of people going with the big time
you know, agent or whatever, and those guys get fleets too,
and they take your money, you know what I mean,
And bad things happen because you think you're going to
the reputable guy as Kareem Jabbar, who was virtually broke
(36:03):
in his NBA career, right, you know what I mean,
because he got with the wrong people. I'm just saying, uh,
in this case, I do like that he's evolved because
I just didn't like what was going on. But it's
a it's a it's a tricky thing. Do you stick
with somebody. It's like a lot of former athletes marry
girlfriends from high school in college, and it's only because
they they know that those people like loved them before
(36:26):
they had a nickel and they might not be the
ideal situation, but they don't feel like if I married
this girl or whatever and I just met her, I
don't know what her deal is, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's like, I get it, sketch, I'm now, I'm popping.
I'm that guy five six years in the league and
you want to come up. I don't know if it's
a real right. That's just listen. There's a gamble in everything,
and by in this account, to me, what I read
is he's locked in. He's focused enough of you know,
enough of the potential things that could have been hampered him.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
And so to me, he seems like he's about business
now and again Utah Jazz.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yeah, yea, yeah yeah. I didn't like all the other
like like pay to pall me to do interviews and
all that. You like, you got to understand where you are.
You represent the jazz. No, the news media is not
going to pay you to do interviews. Had had to
put out TMZ and had to put it.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
He wanted his son, oh Markop and his son on
the the Utah Jazz coaching staff.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
You know, was he Lebron, I just want to get you, said,
I'm glad you want to get you.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Man, You bringing your son home, bringing you what you
think is is huh think you and your twenty two,
twenty three whatever you were on.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
No, but congratulates basically.
Speaker 6 (37:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Hopefully he has a wonderful, you know, rookie campaign, Sugar.
Before we know it, Tiger's got something going. We're gonna
have baseball postseason, NBA back, NFL full swing. Before you
know it's gonna be knee deep into sports here in
a matter of a few weeks. Stay with your boys
a couple
