And again you'll line up in about forty minutes for
trash Talking Tuesday, your chance to trash anyone or anything
in the world of sports.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
And we will not nt interrupt you. We will not.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We are here, of course super Bowl week and one
of the guys, the quarterbacks for the teams will beat
Jalen Hurts, and Jalen Hurts overall has had a very
very good career if you consider it now here he
is in his second Super Bowl, won a bunch of
games this year. Uh And but the question becomes rob
when we start talking the best quarterbacks. The first person
(04:07):
most people are gonna name is Patrick Mahoons. Not That's
why I said most, because you're crazy, and he's gonna
be over here.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Patrick Mahons will be there.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Then you have tier two, which would be Joe Burrow,
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
That's kind of the tier two if you will. Now
when you're saying Patrick Mahons by hisself.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I didn't think I would say anything novel. I didn't
think I was breaking some news here.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Oh no, I'm talking about could you could you just
you just basing on winning? That's not just a Patrick
Mahan talent. No, I don't think I don't wait, No,
I don't think that if Lamar wins a third MVP, yes,
in twenty at age twenty seven, you can't tell me
he's not a top tier He's not in the top tier.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I just don't believe that he's.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I believe this year and I've said it up bazillion times,
Lamar Jackson was the best football No.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But I but Patrick mahone the last two years not
play well.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
We're talking about the duration of their careers. Are you
just talking about career?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm saying that's what we can only judge him by,
Like I don't you when you think of who's the
best player, you say Luke Lebron You're going by their
careers right now where they.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Are, Like, so this is just about winning though, this No,
this is not about the man.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, but I'm just saying, like he hasn't played well
the last the athletic does their QB tiers every.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Year and he's the only one in tier one.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
So the way they have it, Okay, that's my point, rob,
let me finish.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
There's three people in tier.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
One, okay, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Better Homes, Patrickhomes are
the only one is unanimous in tier one. And one
of the quotes that they said, is there a zero
category above tier one because that's where he should be
by himself perfect.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I don't notice.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
But that's not But that's not based on that that
that's just the winning part of it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
That's about what winning.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Everything, total body of work, accomplishment like Okay, in the playoffs, yeah,
I don't understand why.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
If we if we talked about his quarterback ability to
last two years, where would you have them, bro, I'm
just asking you. In the in the he hasn't been great,
but two years, right, it's not just a one off
two years.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Here's here's the That's all I'm saying. That's a that's
a fair point. I think the reason why he's gonna
be a tier above these other guys we mentioned is
because when it comes down to it and if they
have to win a game, ninety nine point nine percent
of people expect him to win said game.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
If they if they lose this game, and I'm just
like I told you about uh Jared Golf okay, and
Patrick Mahomestrick. No, no, no, but he finally has like it
all just comes undone, you know what I mean, and
he has two pigs and he just just doesn't perform
well and they lose or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I bet you, I guarantee you the narrative would be different.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You think if he just happens to lose this game
and he doesn't play well, Yeah, I do, because people
finally lost one.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
No, no, no, people will start to look at the
whole body of work and say, you know what, this
shouldn't be that surprising because he really hasn't played well.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
In guarant the next couple of year Father.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Thirty two are gonna take him over any and every
day years Buffalo and the Baltimore Ravens, then the two
who wants toys saying him, I'm just saying, if he
does not play well and they don't win, the narrative
about him will change. Well, Okay, the child, I get
what you're saying. He hasn't lived up to his normal standards.
I agree, nobody. He has admitted that, but you're acting
(07:22):
as if when it comes down to winning time, this
is literally not what he does. He looks, he looks
better than anyone else, He plays better than anyone else
when it becomes winning time, especially against the two guys
who are chasing him, and Josh Allen and Lamar, He's
just different and that's what keeps him one A if
you want to call them one B. But that wasn't
even a question. You just won't even let me get
(07:44):
to the question is Jalen Hurts. What does he need
to do because he could. If you're Jalen Hurts, you
can say, y'all always talking about Lamar, y'all always talking
about Josh Allen. All I do is get to a
couple of Super Bowls. Joe Burrow credit him, he's been
the one. But y'all keep talking about the mother. What
about me? Me leading teams to a Super Bowl, me
leading teams to some great records, me leading team to
(08:05):
you know, division titles? Why am I not in the
same tier as the Joe Burrows, the Josh Allens and
the Lamar Jackson's. And to me, he would have if
he were to win this Sunday. He would have a
legitimate claim that maybe I don't do it same as
them stylistically, maybe my numbers won't jump through the roof
like Lamar Jackson, but I keep being the one going
(08:28):
to the super Bowls and now I'm a winner if
he is to win the Sunday. But I do think
he needs to win and perform well similarly how he
did the first Super Bowl. He just didn't win it
for us to go, Okay, maybe you're in that tier
now because talent wise, the other guys we just mentioned
are just simply better than him. But if he's gonna
be at this talent level and keep winning, then you
(08:48):
can't argue because Josh hasn't done it.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Josh hasn't gotten in a super Bowl, nor has Lamar.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
For as gifted as they are and their teams have
been good, they just haven't been able to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And maybe part of it for.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Them is the their misfortune and misfortune I should say
that they're in the AFC and ultimately have to go
through Patrick Mahones.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
He can win the game.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
And I'm still I don't believe that people are gonna say, oh,
he's done it now and and he's in that because
if Saquon Barkley rushes for one hundred and sixty five
yards and has.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Two he has to play well like he did Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I don't think that that's the team and and the
and the Jalen Hurts that we're gonna see. I don't
that that guy. I don't even think exists anymore. You
know what I'm saying. I don't know where that came from,
but that was that was the outlier. And I don't
think that if the Eagles are gonna win on Sunday,
that that's what we're gonna see.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't. I believe the offensive and defensive line are
so good.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
They got a running back and I'm not saying that
he's not gonna be a part of it. But if
anybody wins the Super Bowl MVP for winning this game,
it's gonna be Saquon. It has to because that's I
don't know if it has to because they could be
some bad plays. They could maybe the Chief might we
have won all these one score games, could finally miss
a for what I in order to I'm just.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Saying in that field goal conversation, to your point, Sakwan
would have to be running for at least minimally.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
He's averaging a buck thirty throughout the season.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, but I don't have to give him a buck
fifty because it's their offense isn't built to succeed without
him being that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They're not built for that, right, and the Chiefs have done.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
But I'm saying to you that I understand it's it's
the same thing with the Lions. Okay, when they were
nine and a half point favorites, right, you looked at
their offense and you said the Washington can't compete with them,
they can't stay with them. And when you include turnovers
and stuff that the Chiefs haven't done, if you get
that in the mix, it could change the game. I
(10:42):
get what you're saying. Tradition, nobody makes any mistake if
I give you part of the game.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But that doesn't five you know, Like, but that.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Doesn't mean that if they turn the ball over, Jalen
Hurts could could do a toush push and get two
touchdowns up close. And he's not throwing for a lot
of yards and he doesn't have guardy numbers.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You know what I mean? And I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I just still control they're gonna have to because it's
not It isn't Also just Aquan in a home run ball,
it's on. Also if we can keep that dude, Patrick
Mahomes off the dagon field also, you know what I mean,
let's control the ball to push run Jalen, run sa Quan,
so that our drives are five minutes, four minutes, six minutes,
(11:26):
seven minute drives, and we can keep them off the
field as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I think obviously that would you know, I get that, yeah,
But if you get I'm not.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I wouldn't tell Saquan, who got a seventy yard run,
to slow down that go I mean, he's going touchdowns.
We will take it. I don't care how quick. I
understand the premise. If you can hold Patrick Mahomes to
four possessions in the first half, that you're winning, right.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I get that off, and you're keeping the field goals.
But but I still think that the interesting thing for
if you're and I know ultimately they ask this, especially
because how measured he is and what he says his
response is, and how calm and chill he is he being.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Jalen hurts Jalen does it?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You know, bother you that you're not mentioned with the Patricks,
with the josh Is, with the Burroughs, with the Lamars. Obviously,
I think he would have a very politically correct answer
and say, don't bother me long as we keep winning.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Blah da dah dah. But that is a good question.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I ultimately don't think people would think of him that
way because singularly, he doesn't pass the ball as well
as them, He doesn't put up the guard, he numbers
like them. But it would be a fair question for
him if he wanted to ask, why won't y'all put
me in that tier when the guys you've mentioned, Josh
Allen and Lamar they don't even make it to the
Super Bowl and I do. They will be a fair
question that he maybe wants to ask the media. But
(12:44):
ultimately I don't think he's naturally as talent as they are.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
All Right, rumor has it that we're on the verge
of a KD. Steph reunion in the Bay Area.
Speaker 2 (12:52):

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Let me put my numbers out there on any streets

you have it. I'll get another one later. Not how
you got to keep that one day?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Because this bag is a thousand.

Yeah, because you know, he don't want to be seen
in a fifties.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's what I said.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You cannot talk anything about Rob.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Now, No what I said, See Alex, you of all
people who appreciate what the true answer was, the true
answer was. I met a young man who has his
own little business here in the mall and has a kiosk,
and I bought a shirt from him. And he also
told me, man, I make bags. And he showed me
the bag that will be here on Thursday. So I said,
I'm gonna support him.
Speaker 3 (15:53):

So you never heard of the phrase want that old
thing back, Well, that might be what the Golden State
Warriors want right now. And then by old thing, we
mean Kevin Durant, the person that ran off from them
after winning a couple of championships because the vibe wasn't
(16:32):
right and he felt like he wouldn't getting any of
the credit and him and Draymond weren't on C and
I to I, so he leaves, and obviously he's been
going all bouncing around a little bit since then. But
now there are reports that they are desperate to make
some moves, and one of the moves they're desperate to
make would possibly be a reuniting a game with Kevin Durant.
I don't like this, Rob for a couple of reasons.
(16:55):
One the narrative, and this would be like if I
was in Kevin Durant's camp. You've done the scoring titles,
You've now a Finals MVP a couple times over, you've
been an Olympian All Star for at this point to
continue to cement the legacy and maybe just maybe put
out that one little doubt of something that someone may
have about your career. And what is that, Oh that
(17:17):
he can't be his own team. He had to come
to the Wars. Yes he was the best player, but
he had to come to the team that already won.
And to me, all he will be doing and he
is a person who listens to the media, who is
a person who literally listened to social media so much
so that he has burners. He would then, to me,
be jumping right back into that hole. All you just
(17:37):
went back there and try to win. Even if they
were to win, all you had to go back there
to win. You can't win on your own.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And not winning any way, even if.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I so, the whole thing is totally ridiculous. Come on, man,
have you watched that team stopping Kevin durd can't even
get the Suns over five hundred?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Oh he goes back. O, the Sons are gonna be
I mean, the Warriors have a chance to win another.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Chi really come from you watch the West? Stop it already.
I'm so tired of hearing this.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Reruns Reruns are good for old TV. Shows they not
old basketball players. We don't need old basketball players in reruns,
Kevin Durant stay here behind in Phoenix and retire there
in the sun.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Stop with the Warriors. What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
The issue ain't kad though. The issue is the sons
who may be looking to make it do. Because if
we talked about Bradley bierholding on that no trade class,
so he's kind of jamming them up as they're trying
to compete and win and be better live up today.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
So training Kevin Durant's gonna make them better, that's what
they're considering.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
If they can't get Jimmy Butler, if that the whole
thing just clearly is not gonna work. Oh, so that's
what they're saying, we might have to look at some
other options. And the Warriors are desperate because they don't
want to waste the last few good years of a
Steph Curry run.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So they're saying, what can we do? So you're getting
to what can they do? Nothing?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
How about they should be fortunate that they won four
championships and Kevin Durant helped them not on a team,
not be a team that only won two and people
would have said, Oh, they didn't really maximize their I
just don't even understand this whole idea wasting Steph Curry's
final years. Most players, this is what he's fortunate. He
(19:18):
won four championships. Well, if you play too long, you
can't win. Lebron's gonna play twenty five years and win
four championships?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Is that greatness? How is that great?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You told half to twenty five years will have half
no rings, but he also would have went to it.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Doesn't matter about God. No one does not know it
does why it matters? No one does not get there.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You have a shot if you lose, and so he
goes on that you can't how many tell you to lose.
What I'm saying is if you tell me he played
twenty two to twenty four whatever end up being years,
and half of those he was in the finals, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
It's not nobody else is doing.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Because you'll still have four championship over twenty four years.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
How is that great?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Because he would have given himself. How is that great?
I get what they're saying. If we have Steph Curry,
who of all time greats, who has an amazing career,
has four rings, we're not gonna just sit the same
way the Lakers are trying to have tried to it
works when they.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'll give you the perfect example and now trying. If
Tom Brady would have.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Won the first three Super Bowls and then they went
to nine years and he retired and never played again,
there would be no conversation about him being a goat.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And this is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
The longer Lebron plays right and you don't win, it
doesn't help your argument.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Actually I don't agree with that. It doesn't help the man.
He can literally man, No, he can literally only help
his legacy. No, he can can hurt his legacy. The
didn't play.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
First of all, the longer he plays, he literally every
other night looks like the best player of them.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
No, he does not.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
You just even talked about he's a statue. He's not
the same I doing. What is stuffing is a statue
one of the best. He doesn't have the same impact.
Just why one one game? My god, they won a
god stopping and that offense, so you're year they're in.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The playing because he's so great. He had Anthony Davis
and they got to get into.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
The player literally hurt his legacy he came and the
more he doesn't win, he's a Kobe Bryant. The last
four or five years was not great.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
That's why he's not.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
That's why he got in a conversation for that's why
he's why not already not in that conversation if he
if Kobe would have finished with a Florian won three
championships or two championships, without Pau Gasol and without Shaquille O'Neill,
we'd have a different conversation guards because that's too much.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, well that's not why did he say?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
You just said the long he plays, he went when
you become a made man, you know, I disagree.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Steph Curry cannot hurt he's officially a made man. Steph
Curry cannot hurt his Not when.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
You're chasing Michael Jordan's Steph, that's what Lebron is doing.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Can you tell me that? Is he not? Right? Michael Geordie.
So that's the point.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
He can't go backwards, he can only go forward, simple
as that.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
All I know is your wife just turned off the show.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
She did without a doubt without I'm sorry, baby, this
is I'm sorry. We had to do it as a
matter of fact, this wasn't even trash talking. Trash talking
is coming up. You better call on I matter of fact,
Alex and everybody back, don't even answer lies.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
We beutter, just trash.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
No.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Eight on Fox trash Talking Tuesday. We want to hear
from you.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And by the way, we got five six minutes me
and you argue off air. Here it is the odd
couple Fox Sports Radio. Oh, I forgot my bat. Hey,
I was trash talking so bad. Look shut he shook.
I'm thinking I'm twenty minutes ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I don't know. He shook.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Rod Woodson on the other side of Isaac lower Crod
giving you a strendthing.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Let me talk to you some more like I was saying.
Speaker 7 (22:59):
I actually I just kind of want to put my
feet up and here you guys, go out it somewhere.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Boy.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Boy, the thing about Calvin, he's so nice and so
mild mannered, but man, can he get Rob riled up.
I love it. I love it. Philadelphia seventy six ers
fans loving the return of Joel Embiid. He's making his
return to action tonight against the Dallas Mavericks after missing
fifteen games because of a spring foot and Nie swelling
right now. The Mavericks lead the Sixers seventy three to
(23:30):
sixty eight four minutes out of the third quarter, but
embid in twenty two minutes nine of thirteen from the
field for twenty two points, six rebounds and five assists. Elsewhere,
the Boston Celtics of fifty to thirty eight at Cleveland
with two thirty one left to play in the second quarter.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Thank god I didn't take that game. I was worried
about that one.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
So many other games to trip you up out there. However,
in the NFL, you know the big discussion this week,
the perception that the Kansas City Chiefs purposely get favorable calls. Well,
today NFL Referee Association Executive Director Scott Green issued a
statement saying, quote, it is insulting and preposterous to hear
(24:09):
conspiracy theories that somehow seventeen officiating crews are colluding to
assist one team unclosed.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Let me say this, The idea that they even have
to address it or put out a statement tells you
how loud it is in the room and the videos
and all the numbers that they had to address it.
I wouldn't have addressed it if it's a why would
you even address it?
Speaker 7 (24:35):
I especially because on a related note, I'm not making
any of this up. At elementary school in southwestern Missouri
has dubbed this week super Bowl Spirit Week.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
Now.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yesterday's students were encouraged to dress like their favorite Chiefs player,
while today students were encouraged to dress in black and
white stripes to close oh Wow, to quote channel the
referees and their helpful calls on twelfth Man Tuesday. But
(25:09):
there's more. In a school district in western Missouri, today
was Referee MVP Day, where boy, we're encouraged to quote
where black and white stripes and to add a little
Chiefs flair to stay true to Chiefs Kingdom.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
The best about it they could go to a foot
locker and get a part time job.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
After they got the kids trolling, They got the kids
involved in the troller and now they got to working
at foot locker.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You just mentioned it's doacable.

up your boy and stop out for Rod Woodson, Hall
of Fame dB, Fox Sports Radio NFL analyst Rod Woodson
twenty six on X Rod Man, what's up?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Brother?
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Not Rod, my brother?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
How are you man?
Speaker 8 (26:28):
I'm doing good Man down to New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I was gonna say, are you coming?
Speaker 8 (26:33):
I'll beat her tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, all right, awesome, make sure you stay. Got to
stop by, say what's up?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Man?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
No doubt we appreciate you, know it? So so Rod.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Then we just read a story about the officials had
to make a statement official that that no, they're not
helping me.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And all that like to me.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
For the officials that have to put out an official
statement to even address this tells you how loud out
it is from NFL America about these pass interference calls
that Patrick Mahomes gets all of these flags the face,
you know, like all these different things. And as a
football former player, I mean we get the penalties or whatever,
(27:15):
but sometimes when you're watching it takes away from the game.
If you feel like a team is getting like every
time you touch them or every time there's some penalty
or something that helps the team out. Are fans crazy
or you watch the games too? Does it just across
that way?
Speaker 9 (27:32):
You know it?
Speaker 8 (27:35):
You have question marks when you play multiple playoff games
and you never have more penalties than the opposing team, right, Yeah,
that always poses a question. Now are you guys that
discipline right? Are you that good? Do they hold them?
So then that's when you get the questions, do they
(27:55):
hold the flags? Do they give you, you know, a
little unfair treatment or fair treatment, especially for Patrick Mahomes
because you know, to me, like you know, a couple
of weeks ago, he's running, he cross the line and
he slides. Well, you don't get this, you don't get
that same you're runner, right, So it's not college football,
(28:20):
They're not I mean, they're going to make a tackle,
you make the slide late, they hit you and then
they get penal. Life, So I get it with the
bigger pitcher. But at the end of the day, at
the end of the day, I would say this Pat
Mahome is the equalizer of all the deficiencies that the
Chiefs have had this year because he makes one or
two to three plays in a game and the defense
(28:43):
played extremely well at the beginning of the season this year.
I mean at the end of the season, I still
think they're playing well, but they're not playing as well
as they fight at the beginning. So I think, you know,
is it is it a fair stufflement?
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Absolutely?
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Because I'm sitting there going what you know, as a
as an ex player, right, how do you not call
that one? But you call that one? So the inconsistencies
of the whistle and the flags being thrown makes everybody
question the refs intent.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Let me let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
This we see on social media all the time, rigged
like every Sunday.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I mean you've seen it, rod am I right or the.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Script right like like? And I don't know if this
is just part and parcel to the gambling element now
that so many people are caught up in the money part,
so that.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Parlay's wrecked or who was it? What was the game.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
It's the Chiefs where the kicker ran out of the
end zone and cost everybody wanted do you know what
I mean, like the last play.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
But when you see that with your game, people saying
it's rigged and it's the script and they have a
script the wwe what do you think when you see
that every Sunday?
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Yeah, I mean it's you know, and I think you
made a really good point. You made a valid points.
The gambling aspect, does it, Yes, has made us look
at the game completely different, Right, So it started with
the fantasy and now let's come to the gambling, and
we just see the game instead of seeing it at
a pure form that it normally should be, at these subplots, right,
(30:19):
and we're thinking it has to be that because who
do that? Why at that moment. It's just some of
the oddest things that would happen in some of the
oddest moments, and it's been happening for a while, so
I definitely get it. But I think you're right. I
think the gambling side of it has made us, made
all fans, all NFL fans, start to question a lot
(30:43):
of different you know, conspiracy theories that could be out there.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Hey, Rob, Rob, what's in our guest couple Robert Kelvin
hanging out here in New Orleans Super Bowl week? And
let me ask you, I want to switch gears a
little bit because obviously we have the rest of the
week talk more about the big game. Miles Garrett coming
out putting out a letter saying, Hey, I know I
was gonna My whole goal was to play from you know,
the game, to get to cant And it wasn't just
to stay in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I want to win a Super Bowl, so on and
so forth.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
If you're the Browns who have really mixed this whole
thing up with the Deshaun Watching signing and situation, what
do you do to keep them?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Do you trade him? He's not happy? How old are you?
I would?
Speaker 8 (31:22):
I would, I would do the best I can to
move him because he's unhappy. He wants to win. And
you guys put the whole team in a bad spot,
talking about the ownership and the general managers by signing
that deal with DeShawn Watson, you put the whole team
in a bad spot. They're not gonna win as long
as they're under that umbrella. And Garrett said, like, hey,
(31:44):
man listen and he plays hard. He doesn't talk about it,
he doesn't complain. He just gets this job done. So
if a guy has a real I mean, I wouldn't
have put it on social media. I like you, I
would have put it in. I would have went into
the office to talk to them and say, hey, I'm
really I want to trade, and then once that came out,
(32:04):
then I could put it on social media. I wouldn't
put it on social media first. Now I don't know
that he did put it on first, or if he
did some in a letter to them, or his representative
sent some type of information to him saying he was
looking for a trade. I'm not sure, but I would
give him that request because listening to do is a baller.
(32:25):
He's in his prime. He wants to win a super Bowl.
He's not gonna win one in Cleveland. Uh, So you know,
do the guy, do the guy a favor and give
him opportunity to move on to a better team.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That's interesting you said that.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I thought they would try to find a way to
make you work if it's you know, restruction to do. Uh,
it's taking the l with the Deshaun Watson contract.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
I can't get as such a bad hit. It's such
a bad right.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
Yeah, you're cutting, you're cutting, You're taking all your cap away.
So you got to eat the money and eat the money. Like,
it's not about money for him. He wants to win, right,
He's gonna he's gonna get paid no matter where you go.
He wants to win. So I mean, if they're really
looking in the mirror talking about all this front office
(33:10):
people who had a hand in signing that to Shaun
Watson contract, they should all look at the mirror and say,
we messed the staying up and nobody wants to be here.
And I think especially for your your main guys, you know,
the guys who are on the bubble heck that you
don't you're not gonna listen to them. But a guy
(33:31):
who is playing his heart out for you, who wants
to win, I think you got to give him some
love and give him opportunity to move on. Now, you
got to you got to get something in return, because
I mean, obviously he's a he's a two first round
pick type of guy. So you know, if you get
something like that, yeah, I think it puts you in
a good spot. It makes you younger, Uh, It keeps
(33:53):
your cap number down because you're not getting the high
salaries from the rookies. And for the first you know,
five years, so you know a four year excuse me,
it could be five, so you know you know that?
To me, I think is do the guy sent right
and talk to teams.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
All right, Well, roight, we gotta go on this one
real quick score.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Who's winning?
Speaker 8 (34:16):
I like the team wearing green.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Okay, all right, I'm with you, Rod, I'm with you.
I like the.
Speaker 1 (34:24):

The report about what our fans thing with this shad
He shouldn't care about it with this fans, But you

Shame that we look like foods to think that y'all
not doing this and not for the chief. Stop it, man,

I just heard Michael Kay on the show ranting about, oh,
(36:46):

Speaker 11 (36:47):
Is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Why would
the why was NFL wantons? They just they just had

may sins it did Wall.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Wallace from Los Angeles. You're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio. Who your treasure, Wallace?
Speaker 12 (37:25):
Hey, this is Polly Walnuts from Los Angeles, California, and
I'm here to trash. I'm here to trash this receding airline.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
No defense.
Speaker 12 (37:34):
Want to be supercar lebroad James for what he's done
to my beloved, rough endless Lakers. That's the one thing
I want to trash about. This guy's destroyed our beloved franchise.
We don't want him around anymore. All you're doing is
you're killing the NBA by sticking around and watching people
just lay up drills on our beloved Lakers.
Speaker 9 (37:54):
Man, I cannot handle this.
Speaker 12 (37:56):
This is probably the worst experience I've ever had in
my lifetime. I'm watching Laker basketball, is watching this guy
one of the most hypocritical, one of the most polarizing figures.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Ever in the history of sports.
Speaker 12 (38:10):
I want him gone. Let's go ahead and ride it
out with Luke. I don't care if it's Luca and
then my my my basket, my pickup squad that I
played with. If we're there with Luca, I don't want
to see Lebron around anymore. I don't want to run
around anymore. He couldn't even start from long beaks right now,
if you but Bronny that on that rock?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
All right?
Speaker 4 (38:30):
Wallace fired up talking with Scott from pennsyl Talking.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
You're in the couple of Fox Sports Ready, Who you trashing?
Speaker 10 (38:40):
Scott? Oh, my guy, guys, thanks for taking the call.
I am trashing my seventy six ers, mister Parker. I
have you by quite a few years. I've been there
when having it check.
Speaker 9 (38:52):
Stole the ball.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I was there.
Speaker 10 (38:55):
I was there in sixty seven. I was there in
seventy six with Walton, and it's spent a long time
since Sady three. It's forty two years. They can take
whatever left of the process, take the organization, and they
know where they can stick it.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
All right, Scott, not messing up?
Speaker 8 (39:17):
I know?
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Fired up? Who else?
Speaker 4 (39:18):
We got Sean from Sacramento. You're in the couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Who you trash? Sean?
Speaker 9 (39:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (39:27):
My uncle brom does the brother, my brother by the
boy to cousin Kelvin. You know, I'm tracking and trash
in the Dallas Mavericks and Nico Harrison, But I mostly
gon't sprinkle a little Adam Silver for the debacle.
Speaker 8 (39:38):
That was that trade.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
First of all, Nico Harrison, Brother, your rationale makes zero sense. Oh,
championships are one by defense. Why did you trade Dorian
Finny Smith, your best perimeter defender day? Why did you
pick up Kyrie whose knees haven't played defense since he
was in his first year with Duke? That makes zero,
says Nico. Say what it is, Rich Paul got the pictures, brother,
(40:03):
and you couldn't afford that diddy sentence, So you let
that man go. Surley Adam Silver brother grow a back
bow instead of trying to sell us off forty minute
games and how the European models what sailed even though
United States basketball is the highest selling product in the
entire world, start focusing on these trades. Never in David
(40:24):
Stern's life tire. In my man Kelby's words, he's rolling
around in his grave somewhere when he allowed some bs
like that. He blocked the Chris Paul trade out of
the fairness with the league, and he had all the
power in the world to let that go. And they
was trading Chris Paul for worthy assets, not at thirty
two year old broken down. You the brown guy who
(40:45):
wants another Center to play because you want to stand
outside and shoot threes. Make him make sam kelby making magazine.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Why what a fired up edition of trash t y'all
would not play and around man, my goodness, So clearly
y'all have some stuff to get off your chest.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Luca. The question is is he winning a title with
the No Sports Radio
