(01:14):
and we do. We're not going to go that. I
want to get as many people in on this y
like you know, so we'll talk about it and then
let people get there, and you know our show, this
is not a political show.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Okay, this is a sports show.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I am curious for all the people who always
cry when athletes get involved and say anything in politics,
stick to sports. So now here we have a politician,
you're president, who now wants to get into sports.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
There's so much going on in the world, so many.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Issues going on, and this, I guess bothers him so
much that he's involved in. And Rob g you could
tell us President Trump is threatening the commanders, and I
know especially them because they're trying to get a new
stadium down DC, so he's threatened in them. I don't
know how he's threatening the guardians at all. They're not
(02:05):
looking for anything, so I don't know if it's the
same threat that's out there. But he did speak about
the teams, and Rob, do you give us the details?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Play that's right?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
In an effort to Mega this is a real quote, Mega,
make Indians great again. President Doctors threw up in my mouth.
This was real thing he tweeted out or didn't tweet.
But on truth Social he is threatening to hold up
the new stadium deal for the Washington Commanders. Here's what
he said on truth social quote. I may put a
restriction on them that if they do not change the
(02:37):
name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid
of that ridiculous moniker, the Washington Commanders, I won't make
a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington. Now,
you might ask, how could he possibly do this? The
President has no jurisdiction over this kind of thing. Actually,
it's kind of murky, and he might actually be able
to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Here's why.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
During the Biden administration, Biden signed a beal a bill
in January that transferred the land from the federal government
to the District of Columbia. The provision was part of
a short term spending bill passed by Congress in December. Now,
even though DC residents elect a mayor, city council commission
blah blah blah run the DA day operations for now
(03:18):
at least, Congress still maintains control of this city's budget,
Which means that there is a very small, narrow pathway.
But there is a pathway if Donald Trump were so inclined,
where he could actually block the Commander from getting their
new stadium if they don't change their name back to
the Redskins.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And they're a private business, right, Like, the whole idea
is ludicrous. And the idea of turning back the clock
because people did the right thing and changed their name.
I'm expecting any day that Trump's going to say, like
we got to start using colored again, that black people
have to be called colored, Like like, what is this really?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Haven't we moved past? Why would this bother you?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
When franchises decided to do the right thing, Okay, no
other to change the name backwards, to go backwards?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Is that? Where is that where we are? Actually?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It just it's it's it's disgusting to me, the whole
notion that he's so bothered. There's so many other things
going on that this is what bothers him that he
wants to call the Washington football team something that that
some people find offensive. And I don't care if you
go and get you two or three four Native Americans
(04:37):
to go, well, no, the name back or whatever. They
this is a privately held business. They decided that they
were going to change the name. They did all that.
The same thing with the Guardians, Okay, remember it. There's
a difference. People weren't having a fit about the Atlanta
Braves compared to what the Guardians used to be called.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Right, there's a difference. So the Braves kept their name, right, chiefs,
The chiefs kept their name.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They were one, like all Native American names, right they
all that was the name of a tribe.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
It was only one. And well remember the logo chief
Wahoo or whatever. It's racist? It was racist.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I mean it was very racist, very cartoonish depiction of
Native and Indigenous people.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But you see what I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Saying, like the idea that we need to go backwards.
And the same people were arguing every time athletes said
something about politics.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Well, oh, don't saying stick to sports.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Now, here's a politician getting involved in sports.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Well so why not?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Where are those people and where's the cries of stick
to politics, stick to politics.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Stay out of sports. Nobody cares awful.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You're not going to get them because it's the same
people that say blue lives matter. Then you storm the
state capital, you stored the capitol and kill people, kill cops,
beat up cops, spin on cops, rough them up. But
I thought blue lives matter just weeks ago, months ago,
a couple of years ago. So it's all relevant until
it's it's until you know, it's so as long as
it serves a service for me, as long as it
(06:10):
serves a purpose for me. So blue lives matter, Go
beat them up, Stick to sports, Stick to sports. When
we had the same situation the first term at President Trump,
where he was jumping in about the kneeling, he was
jumping in about the NBA, Lebron called the NFL players,
some of them, he.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Calls them exactly, called them.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Sobs jumped out about Lebron jumped out about Steph Curry.
I mean politics, and the thing I laugh about most
is politics and sports have gone hand in hand for
centuries at this point.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I mean, it's just a part of it.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
You get players back in the sixties who were not
going to go to the Olympics. You get players who
stood up for Vietnam. You had bill leagues were all white,
leagues were all white. Then they gat you got Jackie Robinson.
That's political, like, you're always going to have it because
some of what happens on the field is determined by
the policies around you. So you can't have onean out
the other. And you're gonna have people who speak up
(07:00):
about certain things, whether it's women, whether it's men, whether
it's this, whether it's that, but it's black weather, it's Latino,
whether it's Asian, because that's what's going on in society,
and the sports oftentimes duplicate what's happening in society. So
I'm this is always gonna happen. Rob Stick to sports.
Stick to sports within the politicians jump in often by
the way they jump in about sports. They jump in
about nil, they jump in about baseball and steroids, they
(07:23):
jump in about the NFL and kneeling. They jump in
now about the names trying to resurface. And I think
it's a playing to a contingency, playing to a group
of people who have voted for me. I have to
say the things they like to hear. I have to
give them what they like.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I have to do.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Really, somebody's gonna feel good so that they could use
the term. You know, I don't even want to say it,
but to call the Washington football team. Really, there are
people losing sleep saying, oh my god, I can't believe
that they change it to the commanders.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I won't rest until they change it back.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Let's go back to that racist name so I can
feel better or about myself.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Is that what we asked, because there are some people
who will view that as being too progressive and too woke,
which isn't even the terminology how it's supposed to be used,
but they'll see it as that. And so you turning
it back goes ah, thank you for turning back to
things how they better they were.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's why I brought up the thing about black people.
Is that what you want to don't call people that
don't call people black. I'm shocked, and Rob G I
don't know what the history is or whatever that Juneteenth
hasn't been away.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
When I say we joked about it on Junet, I'm
actually shocked. It's just a matter of left. Where was
less fanfare or an issue about that because you had
a lot of states you didn't want to honor doctor
King for years. Arizona, Arizona didn't do it. They were
the last ones to do it. Do you know they
lost the Super Bowl over that? You know, like they
(08:50):
lost the Super Bowl over it. The NFL said, not
only will we take this super Bowl? Will you'll never
get a super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And then all of a sudden, guess what it passed
the next year because it was.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Financial financial that's generally how these things work.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's why I tell people too.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Racial issues in this country are massive, but check the origin,
the genesis of it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It usually comes down to economic It's always economics.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
And now if somebody has to be on the lesser
end of it, than it's usually gonna be certain groups
of people. You know, all right, we're gonna do this
and put it in that community. We gotta do it,
all right, put it in that community. But generally it's
gonna come down to economics very much us usually the
instance of what it is. But yeah, this is to me,
this is oftentimes when you're trying to play to a
contingency and trying to let them hear what they want
(09:34):
to hear, so they continue to vote a certain way,
continue to feel a certain way, because it shouldn't matter
that much.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
What am I missing? What am I missing? Rob G
I'm asking you what am I missing?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Really?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I thought that was put to bed, Like do really
are people still up and arms? Got their panties in
a bunch? I'm asking you because I think we're on
the same PI.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I don't, I don't Is it really initial? They've already
changed the names of everything in the uniform. We call
them the Cleveland Guardians. When I'm over it already, right,
it took a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Nobody stop going this is the low hanging fruit.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
And I'll say, because you guy don't want to say
it of our president who is rapidly losing support from people,
because there are very public celebrities, comedians, athletes, whoever, who
were pro Trump getting up to the election and have
now come out and said everything that I wanted him
to do, he has let me down on I didn't
like the I want him to show the ftem files
is not doing now saying.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
That that was the that was a big one. That
was a big tip.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I think he said, I'm anti war. Now we're going
back to warlike with situations like this. So he in
his mind, what's something I can do that's going to
rally a group of people that's gonna get them.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
On my side.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Most of the people who are going to respond to
this kind of conversation don't actually care about the Washington
football That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
It's and that's the and that's why I keep saying
it's the overarching theme. But things are going to progressive,
things are going to exactly. This is just a sign
of you, meaning the president, taking things back. Yes, I
support you taking things back because the the the commanders,
the guardians are just the thing. I don't really care
about them as ROBERSI, he said, I just need you
(11:15):
to take things back so I can say we're heading
back to when things were. Hence, make America gradiot. Previous.
Previous is often the thing.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And so what it's done is it's allowed provocateurs and
people who make a lot of money dealing in this
sort of thing to go from as recently as whenever
Colin Kaepernor was a ten ten years ago, years ago, whatever.
Stick to sports. I don't want this on my television.
I want sports. I want to watch football. I don't
want to exactly. I don't need to see end racism
in the end zone, things like that. You know, now
(11:45):
those same people are going on their social media account
saying I put up a poll and my audience is
saying that they want to see redskins backup.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So now they know they're sports exact exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I've always said this and people look at me and
I'm not being insensitive or anything. Like the whole thing
about sports. You only want to see sports. Why do
we have military.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
People the biggest one?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay, right, Like if they always say like bringing out people,
why do we have breast cancer awareness?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I'm just saying, if it's just sports, why do we
have these other things.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I didn't go there. I went there to watch football.
I'm not interested in all this other stuff. Right, This
is what I hear. Unless it's something that bothers you, exactly,
that triggers you. Now, you only wanted to be football.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Hypocrisy of the military you brought up was that they
were being paid. That wasn't not the kindness of the NFL.
They paid them. They paid Hey, can we do this
moment where we're gonna put Sergeant Johnny Doe is back
our money?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Our money came that that we're gonna honor. And then
they had the teams were getting checks from.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
The federal checks to do these essential advertisements for the military.
And then we would get teary eye because you know,
it is a moment that sergeants such and such is
back with is you not with his kids? And it's
a beautiful thing. And they're playing on your heartstrings, I know,
And they got to check for that, all.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We want to get as many people in as possible
and pro con whatever. Maybe enlighten me because I I
just think this is awful to go backwards and I
get it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Why is President Trump doing this?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Do people really care much about bringing the I'm not
even going to say it, the racist football name back
to the commanders.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
We'll continue that conversation next with you.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
What's up? Mike?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Oh guy, I agree with you.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
I like sports talking sports, but when you bring politics
into it, I don't want to listen to it. That's
a bunch of nonsense.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
If you go back and learn from it, was a
liberal bullshit.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
All right, let's go to uh Chili.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Tim in Atlanta, you're in the odd couple Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
What's up, Chili?
Speaker 9 (16:15):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (16:15):
Whatever? Calvin? How you why you were here? I was
doing some networking, so I couldn't get away.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Like I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, you wait, who coming in? Hey, Chili, Tim, I'm
coming again on. I'm gonna give you that. Just keep listening.
I'll be in there lot.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Okay, the fifth of April, the fifth of August.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
Okay, okay, okay, well we're definitely going.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
All you gonna do is come to the Marryott Marquee
at the bar. We'll be there. I'll be chilling. Just
stop off.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna say this. You know, I
served my country for over twenty years with the settle
bit of investigation like your brother. Yeah, So I served
my country, and I feel like I have to write
this bigger on certain things. I have a daughter and son,
one in the Navy, one the Air Force. My dad
said my desert, so like we've all served our country
(17:03):
in some sort of ways. But I will say this.
I retired in like twenty seventeen, like right after uh
this this man took office, and I left for a
reason because, let me tell you, guys, say it's low
hanging fruit. It's not low hanging fruit. A lot of
people really steel this way. But the nerve of you know,
just like the first caller that just said, for people
(17:23):
who say anything they want to say, they get so
sensitive when it's pushed back. I don't get that part,
like you say what you want to say it, but
you know, going back to that name and stuff like that,
because you know, in Atlanta we don't even do the
tomahawk chalks anymore, right because.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Everybody was getting corporal tonal.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
From that exactly.
Speaker 10 (17:47):
So let's just you know, to go back to want
to do it. It's just insensitive and cruel way of
people that just want to go back to way things were,
and you know they just have the cruelty of it
is the whole thing. How that whole thing work? You
guys did.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Even that appreciate it?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
How about Moses and people go that's right? A couple
of Fox Sports Radio What's up Moses?
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Petty Fellers enjoyed the show. This is a great topic.
I totally agree with what you all were saying. You know,
it's so contradictory when you have these people to say
fit the sport to do all this, and then when
the politicians want to say something and it's like it's okay,
and I totally disagree. And you know when when they
(18:32):
changed the name, it was it was offensive. So why
do we want to offend people? Why do you want
to offend people?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
What you really do? Though you do understand it? Yeah,
they want to offend people. They don't, They don't care that.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
And and my last point is when you know better,
do better. And they change the name because it was offensive,
So why go back?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
And I'm a Washington Commanders fan, like I've been with
them since Doug Williams, like I bleed burgundein gold and
so I'm I'm I'm a fan. Now I didn't like
the Commander's name. I much rather have the Washington football
team name.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
And that a lot of a lot of people don't forget.
Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
FedEx and Coca Cola said, if the team is the uh,
the team the name, then we're not we will not
advertise with you.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
And that's what pushing people been calling for for twenty
five thirty.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Years, and they never did it. Remember Daniel Slider said
on his on his deathbed, you know what I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Saying, I'm denominator.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
When we keep saying stuff happens money, Yeah, when the
money is either changed and then it becomes our Well,
we got to do something.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
With Shard in San Antonio. You're in the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up with Shard?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Hey, what's up? What's up? Off Man? What's up?
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Kelvin?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What's good?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Hey? Hey, y'all. Man, I just want to tell y'all,
y'all were spot on first. Off, Man, I'm a twenty
one year Air Force retiree.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Man the service.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
No, no, no, no no. And that's what I'm about to get into.
I know you mean well, man, but I think that
that's one of the most disingenuine things people say. And
I say that because they have no idea what we
do and what we sacrifice for. We sacrifice for people
to say what they want to say. But these people
that want to go back to that name, Man, it's
utterly ridiculous. First of all, the seminals, the braves, you know,
(20:23):
things like that, those are celebrating and the chiefs are celebrating.
Why would you want to cause somebody a derogatory name. Man,
It's absolutely ridiculous, you know what I mean? And Lastly, man,
what I'm going to say is, you know, I've served
my country for twenty one years. I'm readjusting back in
the civilian life, right. I had no idea the people
(20:45):
that I've served for twenty one years, Americans were so terrible.
I never knew that. Man, It's absolutely ridiculous, and we're
a direct reflection. I'm a PhD student right now organizational
leadership and with the emphasis and strategic leadership, telling you
every company mirrorus leadership. If you got terrible leadership, you're
going to have a terrible company, country company. And I'm
(21:08):
telling you right now, people need to stop saying this
isn't who we are. This is exactly who we are.
We voted for this person, down for him, you know
what I mean. And it's absolutely ridiculous and upserved for
people wanted to wanting to continue to like humiliate and
just just be just ugly to people. It's an awful name.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's I mean, you learn it as a kid, exactly,
and it's still going on and for whatever reason, people
are still with it, which is terrible.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yep, jank you, Georgia. You're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
What's up? Jay?
Speaker 11 (21:45):
Hey? Well lord right, we're going Oka.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Evin.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
Good talk to you guys.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yes, sir, how are you, buddy?
Speaker 11 (21:50):
I'm doing good.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (21:51):
So just like resud and just like to the team,
I served my country coos and I just got out
of like four more to go and my lad do
the stage to a fort camera Kentucky and all these
politics and sports and all this stuff, Like I just
I just never cared about it, Like they try to
get our units out of time. Hey, go to the
(22:13):
Titans game, go to Vanderbilt to wait the flag before
the game starts. You know how many times I went
to zero because I didn't care, you know what I'm saying.
And I think it's just, uh, Trump's a way of
deflecting from out the horrible things he's done. And he
just got to find something to try to get that
mega cook back on back on point because they're so
(22:34):
bad at him, like Rogerie saying about the Epstein things
that nine dollars in California and he ain't doing what
he's supposed to do. Hey, Trump, release the Epstein five.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Hey, hey, real quick, Tim in Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I'm just curious, Tim, you're in the Fox Sports Real quick, Tim,
we gotta get to it.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Go ahead, but I want to hear some I want
to hear from you.
Speaker 12 (23:01):
So I think that because this happened when Biden was
in office, that Trump is trying to do it because
a lot of his supporters pushed against this, that this
is something that they wanted, that it was like previous
suits that they took away. That's bro believe it that
I think that that's a big thing, that it's something
that Biden didn't speak over it or say against anything
with it, but it happened during his term. That this
(23:22):
is something that Trump at the end can say at least.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
This is Tim brought up a great points, a great
way to end it. Tim has a great point. I'll
be very brief before we get to Steve.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Here.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
A lot of the policies that were done in the
first term. We're trying to undo what President Obama done
had done and then now same thing with President Biden.
And that was kind of a promise, Hey, if I
get in, I'm gonna do this. Make sure I'm gonna
overturn a lot of these things. So Tim has a
great point of this is part of the I'm gonna
get over.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Biden did not do this.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
This was I'm just saying I know what happened during
his thing, but Coca Colon FedEx because they've been trying
to get it checked for a long time and it
wasn't until then.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
But you can you can't eat nuanced and makes it
What are you doing? That's what it was? You remember
that sense? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
Rob g there's some news of Cam on his fourth
and one podcast. He had some things to say about
a particular quarterback who some similar traits in some instances.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And here's what you have to say, Rob.
Speaker 13 (24:29):
Now know everybody's gonna get mad at this Cam hating
on Jalen Hurts. It's hard for me to grade Jalen
Hurts with the talent that he has around him. Jalen
Hurts is a great quarterback, but if we're talking about
what they bring to the table holistically, it's hard to
judge what Jalen Hurts can do when you're throwing to
a guy like AJ Brown, Davonte Smith, we have tight
end skill set, you have a dominant defense, the best
(24:51):
running back in the game. Download Madden and see how
many stars is on the offensive side.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Once again, here's my issue with why it's impossible to
listen to a lot of these guys.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Listens podcasts that is your and I run for president
and I'm gonna get athletes podcast band.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But for me, the problem is that they can't be
they have skin in the game. He can't give you
a fair assessment of Jalen Hurts. He can't because people
question him his Super Bowl when he went right and
how poorly he played. Yes, he has great players around him.
(25:38):
Everybody who wins has great players.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Why is Jalen Hurts any different? Tell me another team
where everybody was terrible except for one guy and they won.
It doesn't exist. It's even like when they bring up
to Scottie Pippen. Of course he was good, Michael. Nobody
wins by themselves. So all of a sudden, you're saying,
Jalen Hurts, did he tell you that he went to
two Super Bowl He didn't get too and he bawled
(26:02):
out into one that he lost, and then this one
was supposed to be Saquon Barkley's right.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Super Bowl This is about Saquon Barkley. No, it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It was about Jalen Hurts. His two Super Bowls. Can
I give you the numbers? Average three hundred and thirty
five yards, seventy three percent completions, seven touchdowns, two turnovers
with a one oh nine passer rating. Okay, stop acting
(26:36):
like he didn't do his part as quarterback. He was
a Super Bowl MVP for a reason. What did Saquon have?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Rob G? Forty yards? Fifty yard? What was it?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And he was a big stud of the whole year,
right they said, the chief said, we're going to stop
Saquon and make Jalen Hurts beat us. And guess what,
he beat you. These athletes gotta stop it. They just
they can't be fair and honest. And all they do
is talk about the writers and the brawl. You guys,
(27:09):
you're all yellous, you guys are jealous, and then the idea,
Rob G, can you play that again?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Alice? Play that again?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I just want to do just in the beginning, just
at the beginning, listen to what he says, just to
start it right here.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
Now, know everybody's gonna get mad at this.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Cam, Okay, start right there. Huh.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
If you have to preface it, you already know that
the take is not good. Why are you prefacing it
by saying, oh, I know people are gonna be mad.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yes, they are.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Mad because the guy with the Super Bowl MVP he
balled out. The running game was stopped and they won
and kick Kansas City's butt to win the Super Bowl.
Give Jalen Hurts his credit and stop all this nonsense.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
These guys are terrible. Cam is terrible to do this,
you know what.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
I think sometimes the worst is when somebody realized they
had wasted talent, and I think Cam Newton sometimes deals
with that he wasted some of the gods gifts and
talent that he had. He didn't get more out of that. Now,
let's just dive a little deeper into the Jalen Hurts thing.
Jalen Hurts is doing exactly what Jalen Hurts is supposed
to do. First of all, he won a bunch in college.
(28:17):
Then he gets to the NFL and all he's pretty
much do is win. He's gotten to a Super Bowl.
He lost one, but he outplayed the number one quarterback
Patrick Mahomes got to another Super Bowl, won it, outplayed
who the number one quarterback in Patrick Mahomes. Again, all
he's known is being in the postseason. So Jalen Hurts
has done exactly what he is supposed to do. We
have a play that they tried to outlaw in the
(28:38):
NFL because he runs it, he and his team runs it.
Everybody has a chance to run it, Rob, but for
whatever reasons, he and his team run the best, and
now it's an issue we should try to find a
way to outlaw it. And they didn't agree on it
during the meetings with the owners. However, my point is
that's when you know you're good. You got something they
trying to outlaw, like Shaq being in the paint. We
got to come up with three seconds in the key
(28:58):
or you can't have z own def and you can't
do this. And because you're that dominant at something, Jalen
Hurts has been exactly what the Philadelphia Sephanies Philadelphia Eagles need.
And what drives me crazy about this is you just
mentioned it. If I go through some of these teams,
Rob who have won, look at the teams John Elway,
he had Terrell Davis in the Hall of Fame. He
(29:21):
had a really good receiver Advacaffrey. He had Rod Smith
who was really good receiver as Shannon Sharp was Hall
of Famer. And then he had a bunch of Hall
of Famers and really good guys on the defensive side
of the ball. We're not gonna talk about Patrick mahomes
at on Tyreek Hill, who if he keeps going, is
gonna be a Hall of Famers. He got Kelsey was
a Hall of Famer. He's he's got guys in the
offensive line, he's got defense. Nobody wins by themselves. Peyton Manning.
Which iteration of Peyton Manner do you want? Do you
(29:43):
want the Marvin Harrison and Reggie and Reggie Wayne with
stokely run at the middle in Dallas Clark or you
want Edred James in the backfield?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
You want that version level?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You want to look at that defense for that defense
with the broncoup that won.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
A Super Bowl for him, unloaded, insane defense. And so
my point is you need if you want to go,
let's say go to another sport. Magic Johnson walks right
into the NBA with who Kareem? That's who you walk
into the You're ushered into the NBA with cat Kareem
Abdul Jabbar, and now you get to have Worthy. A
couple of years later, they would draft him. You've got
(30:15):
Byron Scott. In order to win. It takes a full
franchise front office, GMS, coaches quarterbacks in the NFL, rosters defense,
and then identity and this.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Is what we do. We do well.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
It's just so you're mad at him for having that,
and then he does what I'd rather you say, man,
I love what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I think he's talented.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
There's still maybe some those things to be left desired.
If you say I'm fine and then you say this, shoot,
i'ma be honest. I see some similar skill sets, and
I wish I had a team that was as good.
I wish I had a front line offensive line that
was as good. I'd be okay with that. I'd be
okay with that. But to act as if he's not
doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing. And
another example would be Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw did exactly
(30:58):
what he was supposed to do with those Pittsburgh of
the team.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Why his numbers weren't great as the greatest receivers.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
He had frank Co Harrison in the back, and he
had a defense and I'm gonna let him do what
they do and cook and eat. And at the end
of the day, we judge quarterbacks on what wins and
Jalen Hurst, to his credit, has done that. Nobody's saying
he's the best arm or the best quarterback right now,
but he absolutely does what's expecting to him, which is
a win. And I think Cam knows he left a
(31:27):
lot of still to be desired, and I think he's
upset with himself about that. All Right, we got to
talk about this. The little small signings have been happening,
and I like, in particular, some messaging that the Lakers
are sending to one particular player.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I'll tell you who that is.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
It is the aka of Rob Parker kelvin Washington in
the Magic City Monday, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Hey, Alex, it's still a con sports radio stee couple.
Rob Parker Kelvin Washington on a Magic City Monday. Make
sure you check out a YouTube page, make sure you
check out the pod. Make sure you give our shows
a follow on all social media, which is our couple FSR.
(32:19):
Go ahead and give us a follow on all of
those things as yeah show, what.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Other show would you pick? Rob if you had to
be a good question, I don't gotta pick one. What's
the show that comes on after us? Jason Smith? Yeah,
there you go. Falling down? What falling down? Ben Mallor?
But is it Ben Mallor? With no Aaron you have
(32:44):
the question. Yes, it's just Ben and Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
He's a talented radio guy's been doing it for since
this network went on the air, right.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Basically, except for like three months or something like that
when he got laid off.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Then he came back and he came back in three months.
That's right. Yeah, Rob g you were you were his
producer at one was the best year of my life.
I can't believe you were up that overnights and all
that it was. Ben was at my wedding, by the way,
was he he was? There's a lot of slide and stuff.
You just slid that, Pat. Why was that the best year?
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Because Ben Ben Mallard has got the best fans in
sports media bar none, that's not even close. And that, honestly,
it might be to his detriment because like if he
tries to fill in on other times, day parts and
other stations, he can't just do a Dodgers show for
the Dodgers Network because all of the Malon militia's gonna
call in and start doing their thing and it totally
(33:32):
derails what he's trying to do, right, like they're almost
too passionate.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
That's all good, Yeah, all right, there you have it.
I've done some shows with with mister Ben Maler, good shows.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, yeah, you don't seem like I'm trying to figure
out what no, no no. And you listen when you
go to somebody else's house and you wear an ugly
sweater and as you were cheasing, come on and then
send the group chatted.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
And then love that. Me and Aaron, we have the
video of us sit here, we go.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Was gonna trying to keep it just I got too babe,
me and her, So oh my god, you never saw
that ugly sweaters.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
If I was mad, I would have slept you in
my house. And what do you call it karaoke.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I just know you've been not ever hit me one
day sitting here, tell me I been ready to go
to a Coldplay content.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
By the way, I just texted Jonas knock. I said, Jonas,
never let Rob meet your wife again, just in case.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Just to be pro.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Jonas's wife was mad because she they came to the
show We're doing the challenge. You're on a k NBC
football show Sunday Nights.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
The Official Odd Couple side.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Piece and Jonas we were on and and uh, I
don't know, something came up and it was something about
some cheap champagne or something, and his wife was there.
I said, I haven't seen this much cheap champagne since
I went to jonas wedding.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Dudes know how to like, are you crazy? I met
you Jonahs laughing his wife wife and women don't.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Laugh and stuff like this is how I know you
just sort of look.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Divorce.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Women will hold on to that like permanently, am I
lion Robbie.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Dudes know how to just be like Rob being Rob,
He's stupid.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Women will be like when you fit, like that's your
offending her ability.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Their financial situation.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Maybe they were rougher than now, they're better not you
know what I mean, you can't women don't hear that.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
It was funny.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
I'm not saying it one funny, but women here that
mother lover and that's all they hear permanently.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
There's I bet you they're gonna be a conversation this
summer where his wife can ask, Hey, so Jonas, who
are you doing the challenge with this seasons?
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Rob Parker, right, well, we've heard that before plenty. Yeah,
it's all good. Hey, we got a little couple of
minutes here.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
I just want to say I like something I heard, Rob,
and that is that we got some reports. Obviously Marcus
Smart is signing with the Lakers two year eleven mil
I don't think it makes a huge, huge different Obviously,
why not get a guy veteran player, I don't think
get Smart and it's getting for the low. So I'm
not mad at that. What I like more than even
(36:15):
the signing is I like hearing that the reports that
Luca reached out to Marcus Smart made it clear he
wanted to play with the two word, you know, play
with him. I love that you play defensively, offensively, can
run some point guard for green hair. You have green well,
who knows, they'll probably be purple now? Purple be purple now?
Speaker 3 (36:31):
And uh.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
And then you hear that Luca reached out to DeAndre
Aid when he got the buyout with the Suns. Luca,
hey man, need a big man, come on out he
is He's gonna be waiting to because, as we mentioned,
I like that this is all moving forward for Luca
and the Lakers wrong right, win or lose.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
This is their guy.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
It's not feel wrong that one guy's twenty five right
soon to be twenty six and the other guy's forty wrong.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
With the signings, that is what I was saying. Not
the num absolutely makes sense. Luca, here's the keys, here's
the franchise. What do you like? What do you want
to do moving forward? And Lebron got to learn to
be okay with that if this is, you know, if
he chooses to be here another year, if they move
on next year, whatever. And I think it only makes
sense because if this was twenty six year old Lebron
best believe you know handling the keys.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
These keys to the franchise are yours.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
So I just love hearing that that Luca's reaching out
Lucas kind of get guys. Lucas trying to build his
team around him and what works for him because it's
his franchise and they're tied to him, especially once he
gets this extension. So to me, I just love hearing
that that Luca's reaching out to Aden, He's connecting with guys,
reaching out to Smart too Smart, and building this thing
moving forward for him.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
So I like hearing that.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Jerry Jones, you know what Jerry Jones did, Rob Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
We'll explain. It's the Ode couple.

(01:14):
and we do. We're not going to go that. I
want to get as many people in on this y
like you know, so we'll talk about it and then
let people get there, and you know our show, this
is not a political show.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Okay, this is a sports show.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I am curious for all the people who always
cry when athletes get involved and say anything in politics,
stick to sports. So now here we have a politician,
you're president, who now wants to get into sports.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
There's so much going on in the world, so many.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Issues going on, and this, I guess bothers him so
much that he's involved in. And Rob g you could
tell us President Trump is threatening the commanders, and I
know especially them because they're trying to get a new
stadium down DC, so he's threatened in them. I don't
know how he's threatening the guardians at all. They're not
(02:05):
looking for anything, so I don't know if it's the
same threat that's out there. But he did speak about
the teams, and Rob, do you give us the details?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Play that's right?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
In an effort to Mega this is a real quote, Mega,
make Indians great again. President Doctors threw up in my mouth.
This was real thing he tweeted out or didn't tweet.
But on truth Social he is threatening to hold up
the new stadium deal for the Washington Commanders. Here's what
he said on truth social quote. I may put a
restriction on them that if they do not change the
(02:37):
name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid
of that ridiculous moniker, the Washington Commanders, I won't make
a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington. Now,
you might ask, how could he possibly do this? The
President has no jurisdiction over this kind of thing. Actually,
it's kind of murky, and he might actually be able
to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Here's why.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
During the Biden administration, Biden signed a beal a bill
in January that transferred the land from the federal government
to the District of Columbia. The provision was part of
a short term spending bill passed by Congress in December. Now,
even though DC residents elect a mayor, city council commission
blah blah blah run the DA day operations for now
(03:18):
at least, Congress still maintains control of this city's budget,
Which means that there is a very small, narrow pathway.
But there is a pathway if Donald Trump were so inclined,
where he could actually block the Commander from getting their
new stadium if they don't change their name back to
the Redskins.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And they're a private business, right, Like, the whole idea
is ludicrous. And the idea of turning back the clock
because people did the right thing and changed their name.
I'm expecting any day that Trump's going to say, like
we got to start using colored again, that black people
have to be called colored, Like like, what is this really?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Haven't we moved past? Why would this bother you?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
When franchises decided to do the right thing, Okay, no
other to change the name backwards, to go backwards?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Is that? Where is that where we are? Actually?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It just it's it's it's disgusting to me, the whole
notion that he's so bothered. There's so many other things
going on that this is what bothers him that he
wants to call the Washington football team something that that
some people find offensive. And I don't care if you
go and get you two or three four Native Americans
(04:37):
to go, well, no, the name back or whatever. They
this is a privately held business. They decided that they
were going to change the name. They did all that.
The same thing with the Guardians, Okay, remember it. There's
a difference. People weren't having a fit about the Atlanta
Braves compared to what the Guardians used to be called.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Right, there's a difference. So the Braves kept their name, right, chiefs,
The chiefs kept their name.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They were one, like all Native American names, right they
all that was the name of a tribe.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
It was only one. And well remember the logo chief
Wahoo or whatever. It's racist? It was racist.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I mean it was very racist, very cartoonish depiction of
Native and Indigenous people.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But you see what I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Saying, like the idea that we need to go backwards.
And the same people were arguing every time athletes said
something about politics.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Well, oh, don't saying stick to sports.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Now, here's a politician getting involved in sports.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Well so why not?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Where are those people and where's the cries of stick
to politics, stick to politics.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Stay out of sports. Nobody cares awful.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You're not going to get them because it's the same
people that say blue lives matter. Then you storm the
state capital, you stored the capitol and kill people, kill cops,
beat up cops, spin on cops, rough them up. But
I thought blue lives matter just weeks ago, months ago,
a couple of years ago. So it's all relevant until
it's it's until you know, it's so as long as
it serves a service for me, as long as it
(06:10):
serves a purpose for me. So blue lives matter, Go
beat them up, Stick to sports, Stick to sports. When
we had the same situation the first term at President Trump,
where he was jumping in about the kneeling, he was
jumping in about the NBA, Lebron called the NFL players,
some of them, he.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Calls them exactly, called them.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Sobs jumped out about Lebron jumped out about Steph Curry.
I mean politics, and the thing I laugh about most
is politics and sports have gone hand in hand for
centuries at this point.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I mean, it's just a part of it.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
You get players back in the sixties who were not
going to go to the Olympics. You get players who
stood up for Vietnam. You had bill leagues were all white,
leagues were all white. Then they gat you got Jackie Robinson.
That's political, like, you're always going to have it because
some of what happens on the field is determined by
the policies around you. So you can't have onean out
the other. And you're gonna have people who speak up
(07:00):
about certain things, whether it's women, whether it's men, whether
it's this, whether it's that, but it's black weather, it's Latino,
whether it's Asian, because that's what's going on in society,
and the sports oftentimes duplicate what's happening in society. So
I'm this is always gonna happen. Rob Stick to sports.
Stick to sports within the politicians jump in often by
the way they jump in about sports. They jump in
about nil, they jump in about baseball and steroids, they
(07:23):
jump in about the NFL and kneeling. They jump in
now about the names trying to resurface. And I think
it's a playing to a contingency, playing to a group
of people who have voted for me. I have to
say the things they like to hear. I have to
give them what they like.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I have to do.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Really, somebody's gonna feel good so that they could use
the term. You know, I don't even want to say it,
but to call the Washington football team. Really, there are
people losing sleep saying, oh my god, I can't believe
that they change it to the commanders.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I won't rest until they change it back.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Let's go back to that racist name so I can
feel better or about myself.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Is that what we asked, because there are some people
who will view that as being too progressive and too woke,
which isn't even the terminology how it's supposed to be used,
but they'll see it as that. And so you turning
it back goes ah, thank you for turning back to
things how they better they were.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's why I brought up the thing about black people.
Is that what you want to don't call people that
don't call people black. I'm shocked, and Rob G I
don't know what the history is or whatever that Juneteenth
hasn't been away.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
When I say we joked about it on Junet, I'm
actually shocked. It's just a matter of left. Where was
less fanfare or an issue about that because you had
a lot of states you didn't want to honor doctor
King for years. Arizona, Arizona didn't do it. They were
the last ones to do it. Do you know they
lost the Super Bowl over that? You know, like they
(08:50):
lost the Super Bowl over it. The NFL said, not
only will we take this super Bowl? Will you'll never
get a super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And then all of a sudden, guess what it passed
the next year because it was.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Financial financial that's generally how these things work.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's why I tell people too.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Racial issues in this country are massive, but check the origin,
the genesis of it.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It usually comes down to economic It's always economics.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
And now if somebody has to be on the lesser
end of it, than it's usually gonna be certain groups
of people. You know, all right, we're gonna do this
and put it in that community. We gotta do it,
all right, put it in that community. But generally it's
gonna come down to economics very much us usually the
instance of what it is. But yeah, this is to me,
this is oftentimes when you're trying to play to a
contingency and trying to let them hear what they want
(09:34):
to hear, so they continue to vote a certain way,
continue to feel a certain way, because it shouldn't matter
that much.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
It shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
What am I missing? What am I missing? Rob G
I'm asking you what am I missing?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Really?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I thought that was put to bed, Like do really
are people still up and arms? Got their panties in
a bunch? I'm asking you because I think we're on
the same PI.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I don't, I don't Is it really initial? They've already
changed the names of everything in the uniform. We call
them the Cleveland Guardians. When I'm over it already, right,
it took a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Nobody stop going this is the low hanging fruit.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
And I'll say, because you guy don't want to say
it of our president who is rapidly losing support from people,
because there are very public celebrities, comedians, athletes, whoever, who
were pro Trump getting up to the election and have
now come out and said everything that I wanted him
to do, he has let me down on I didn't
like the I want him to show the ftem files
is not doing now saying.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
That that was the that was a big one. That
was a big tip.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I think he said, I'm anti war. Now we're going
back to warlike with situations like this. So he in
his mind, what's something I can do that's going to
rally a group of people that's gonna get them.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
On my side.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Most of the people who are going to respond to
this kind of conversation don't actually care about the Washington
football That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
It's and that's the and that's why I keep saying
it's the overarching theme. But things are going to progressive,
things are going to exactly. This is just a sign
of you, meaning the president, taking things back. Yes, I
support you taking things back because the the the commanders,
the guardians are just the thing. I don't really care
about them as ROBERSI, he said, I just need you
(11:15):
to take things back so I can say we're heading
back to when things were. Hence, make America gradiot. Previous.
Previous is often the thing.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And so what it's done is it's allowed provocateurs and
people who make a lot of money dealing in this
sort of thing to go from as recently as whenever
Colin Kaepernor was a ten ten years ago, years ago, whatever.
Stick to sports. I don't want this on my television.
I want sports. I want to watch football. I don't
want to exactly. I don't need to see end racism
in the end zone, things like that. You know, now
(11:45):
those same people are going on their social media account
saying I put up a poll and my audience is
saying that they want to see redskins backup.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So now they know they're sports exact exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I've always said this and people look at me and
I'm not being insensitive or anything. Like the whole thing
about sports. You only want to see sports. Why do
we have military.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
People the biggest one?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay, right, Like if they always say like bringing out people,
why do we have breast cancer awareness?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I'm just saying, if it's just sports, why do we
have these other things.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I didn't go there. I went there to watch football.
I'm not interested in all this other stuff. Right, This
is what I hear. Unless it's something that bothers you, exactly,
that triggers you. Now, you only wanted to be football.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Hypocrisy of the military you brought up was that they
were being paid. That wasn't not the kindness of the NFL.
They paid them. They paid Hey, can we do this
moment where we're gonna put Sergeant Johnny Doe is back
our money?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Our money came that that we're gonna honor. And then
they had the teams were getting checks from.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
The federal checks to do these essential advertisements for the military.
And then we would get teary eye because you know,
it is a moment that sergeants such and such is
back with is you not with his kids? And it's
a beautiful thing. And they're playing on your heartstrings, I know,
And they got to check for that, all.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We want to get as many people in as possible
and pro con whatever. Maybe enlighten me because I I
just think this is awful to go backwards and I
get it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Why is President Trump doing this?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Do people really care much about bringing the I'm not
even going to say it, the racist football name back
to the commanders.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
What's up? Mike?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Oh guy, I agree with you.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
I like sports talking sports, but when you bring politics
into it, I don't want to listen to it. That's
a bunch of nonsense.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
If you go back and learn from it, was a
liberal bullshit.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
All right, let's go to uh Chili.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Tim in Atlanta, you're in the odd couple Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 9 (16:15):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (16:15):
Whatever? Calvin? How you why you were here? I was
doing some networking, so I couldn't get away.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Like I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, you wait, who coming in? Hey, Chili, Tim, I'm
coming again on. I'm gonna give you that. Just keep listening.
I'll be in there lot.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Okay, the fifth of April, the fifth of August.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
Okay, okay, okay, well we're definitely going.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
All you gonna do is come to the Marryott Marquee
at the bar. We'll be there. I'll be chilling. Just
stop off.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna say this. You know, I
served my country for over twenty years with the settle
bit of investigation like your brother. Yeah, So I served
my country, and I feel like I have to write
this bigger on certain things. I have a daughter and son,
one in the Navy, one the Air Force. My dad
said my desert, so like we've all served our country
(17:03):
in some sort of ways. But I will say this.
I retired in like twenty seventeen, like right after uh
this this man took office, and I left for a
reason because, let me tell you, guys, say it's low
hanging fruit. It's not low hanging fruit. A lot of
people really steel this way. But the nerve of you know,
just like the first caller that just said, for people
(17:23):
who say anything they want to say, they get so
sensitive when it's pushed back. I don't get that part,
like you say what you want to say it, but
you know, going back to that name and stuff like that,
because you know, in Atlanta we don't even do the
tomahawk chalks anymore, right because.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Everybody was getting corporal tonal.
Speaker 9 (17:45):
From that exactly.
Speaker 10 (17:47):
So let's just you know, to go back to want
to do it. It's just insensitive and cruel way of
people that just want to go back to way things were,
and you know they just have the cruelty of it
is the whole thing. How that whole thing work? You
guys did.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Even that appreciate it?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
How about Moses and people go that's right? A couple
of Fox Sports Radio What's up Moses?
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Petty Fellers enjoyed the show. This is a great topic.
I totally agree with what you all were saying. You know,
it's so contradictory when you have these people to say
fit the sport to do all this, and then when
the politicians want to say something and it's like it's okay,
and I totally disagree. And you know when when they
(18:32):
changed the name, it was it was offensive. So why
do we want to offend people? Why do you want
to offend people?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
What you really do? Though you do understand it? Yeah,
they want to offend people. They don't, They don't care that.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
And and my last point is when you know better,
do better. And they change the name because it was offensive,
So why go back?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
And I'm a Washington Commanders fan, like I've been with
them since Doug Williams, like I bleed burgundein gold and
so I'm I'm I'm a fan. Now I didn't like
the Commander's name. I much rather have the Washington football
team name.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
And that a lot of a lot of people don't forget.
Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
FedEx and Coca Cola said, if the team is the uh,
the team the name, then we're not we will not
advertise with you.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
And that's what pushing people been calling for for twenty
five thirty.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Years, and they never did it. Remember Daniel Slider said
on his on his deathbed, you know what I'm.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Saying, I'm denominator.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
When we keep saying stuff happens money, Yeah, when the
money is either changed and then it becomes our Well,
we got to do something.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
With Shard in San Antonio. You're in the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. What's up with Shard?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Hey, what's up? What's up? Off Man? What's up?
Speaker 9 (19:46):
Kelvin?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What's good?
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Hey? Hey, y'all. Man, I just want to tell y'all,
y'all were spot on first. Off, Man, I'm a twenty
one year Air Force retiree.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Man the service.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
No, no, no, no no. And that's what I'm about to get into.
I know you mean well, man, but I think that
that's one of the most disingenuine things people say. And
I say that because they have no idea what we
do and what we sacrifice for. We sacrifice for people
to say what they want to say. But these people
that want to go back to that name, Man, it's
utterly ridiculous. First of all, the seminals, the braves, you know,
(20:23):
things like that, those are celebrating and the chiefs are celebrating.
Why would you want to cause somebody a derogatory name. Man,
It's absolutely ridiculous, you know what I mean? And Lastly, man,
what I'm going to say is, you know, I've served
my country for twenty one years. I'm readjusting back in
the civilian life, right. I had no idea the people
(20:45):
that I've served for twenty one years, Americans were so terrible.
I never knew that. Man, It's absolutely ridiculous, and we're
a direct reflection. I'm a PhD student right now organizational
leadership and with the emphasis and strategic leadership, telling you
every company mirrorus leadership. If you got terrible leadership, you're
going to have a terrible company, country company. And I'm
(21:08):
telling you right now, people need to stop saying this
isn't who we are. This is exactly who we are.
We voted for this person, down for him, you know
what I mean. And it's absolutely ridiculous and upserved for
people wanted to wanting to continue to like humiliate and
just just be just ugly to people. It's an awful name.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's I mean, you learn it as a kid, exactly,
and it's still going on and for whatever reason, people
are still with it, which is terrible.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yep, jank you, Georgia. You're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
What's up? Jay?
Speaker 11 (21:45):
Hey? Well lord right, we're going Oka.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Evin.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
Good talk to you guys.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yes, sir, how are you, buddy?
Speaker 11 (21:50):
I'm doing good.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (21:51):
So just like resud and just like to the team,
I served my country coos and I just got out
of like four more to go and my lad do
the stage to a fort camera Kentucky and all these
politics and sports and all this stuff, Like I just
I just never cared about it, Like they try to
get our units out of time. Hey, go to the
(22:13):
Titans game, go to Vanderbilt to wait the flag before
the game starts. You know how many times I went
to zero because I didn't care, you know what I'm saying.
And I think it's just, uh, Trump's a way of
deflecting from out the horrible things he's done. And he
just got to find something to try to get that
mega cook back on back on point because they're so
(22:34):
bad at him, like Rogerie saying about the Epstein things
that nine dollars in California and he ain't doing what
he's supposed to do. Hey, Trump, release the Epstein five.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Hey, hey, real quick, Tim in Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I'm just curious, Tim, you're in the Fox Sports Real quick, Tim,
we gotta get to it.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Go ahead, but I want to hear some I want
to hear from you.
Speaker 12 (23:01):
So I think that because this happened when Biden was
in office, that Trump is trying to do it because
a lot of his supporters pushed against this, that this
is something that they wanted, that it was like previous
suits that they took away. That's bro believe it that
I think that that's a big thing, that it's something
that Biden didn't speak over it or say against anything
with it, but it happened during his term. That this
(23:22):
is something that Trump at the end can say at least.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
This is Tim brought up a great points, a great
way to end it. Tim has a great point. I'll
be very brief before we get to Steve.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Here.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
A lot of the policies that were done in the
first term. We're trying to undo what President Obama done
had done and then now same thing with President Biden.
And that was kind of a promise, Hey, if I
get in, I'm gonna do this. Make sure I'm gonna
overturn a lot of these things. So Tim has a
great point of this is part of the I'm gonna
get over.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Biden did not do this.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
This was I'm just saying I know what happened during
his thing, but Coca Colon FedEx because they've been trying
to get it checked for a long time and it
wasn't until then.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
But you can you can't eat nuanced and makes it
What are you doing? That's what it was? You remember
that sense? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
Rob g there's some news of Cam on his fourth
and one podcast. He had some things to say about
a particular quarterback who some similar traits in some instances.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
And here's what you have to say, Rob.
Speaker 13 (24:29):
Now know everybody's gonna get mad at this Cam hating
on Jalen Hurts. It's hard for me to grade Jalen
Hurts with the talent that he has around him. Jalen
Hurts is a great quarterback, but if we're talking about
what they bring to the table holistically, it's hard to
judge what Jalen Hurts can do when you're throwing to
a guy like AJ Brown, Davonte Smith, we have tight
end skill set, you have a dominant defense, the best
(24:51):
running back in the game. Download Madden and see how
many stars is on the offensive side.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Once again, here's my issue with why it's impossible to
listen to a lot of these guys.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Listens podcasts that is your and I run for president
and I'm gonna get athletes podcast band.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
But for me, the problem is that they can't be
they have skin in the game. He can't give you
a fair assessment of Jalen Hurts. He can't because people
question him his Super Bowl when he went right and
how poorly he played. Yes, he has great players around him.
(25:38):
Everybody who wins has great players.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Why is Jalen Hurts any different? Tell me another team
where everybody was terrible except for one guy and they won.
It doesn't exist. It's even like when they bring up
to Scottie Pippen. Of course he was good, Michael. Nobody
wins by themselves. So all of a sudden, you're saying,
Jalen Hurts, did he tell you that he went to
two Super Bowl He didn't get too and he bawled
(26:02):
out into one that he lost, and then this one
was supposed to be Saquon Barkley's right.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Super Bowl This is about Saquon Barkley. No, it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It was about Jalen Hurts. His two Super Bowls. Can
I give you the numbers? Average three hundred and thirty
five yards, seventy three percent completions, seven touchdowns, two turnovers
with a one oh nine passer rating. Okay, stop acting
(26:36):
like he didn't do his part as quarterback. He was
a Super Bowl MVP for a reason. What did Saquon have?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Rob G? Forty yards? Fifty yard? What was it?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
And he was a big stud of the whole year,
right they said, the chief said, we're going to stop
Saquon and make Jalen Hurts beat us. And guess what,
he beat you. These athletes gotta stop it. They just
they can't be fair and honest. And all they do
is talk about the writers and the brawl. You guys,
(27:09):
you're all yellous, you guys are jealous, and then the idea,
Rob G, can you play that again?
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Alice? Play that again?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I just want to do just in the beginning, just
at the beginning, listen to what he says, just to
start it right here.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
Now, know everybody's gonna get mad at this.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Cam, Okay, start right there. Huh.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
If you have to preface it, you already know that
the take is not good. Why are you prefacing it
by saying, oh, I know people are gonna be mad.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yes, they are.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Mad because the guy with the Super Bowl MVP he
balled out. The running game was stopped and they won
and kick Kansas City's butt to win the Super Bowl.
Give Jalen Hurts his credit and stop all this nonsense.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
These guys are terrible. Cam is terrible to do this,
you know what.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
I think sometimes the worst is when somebody realized they
had wasted talent, and I think Cam Newton sometimes deals
with that he wasted some of the gods gifts and
talent that he had. He didn't get more out of that. Now,
let's just dive a little deeper into the Jalen Hurts thing.
Jalen Hurts is doing exactly what Jalen Hurts is supposed
to do. First of all, he won a bunch in college.
(28:17):
Then he gets to the NFL and all he's pretty
much do is win. He's gotten to a Super Bowl.
He lost one, but he outplayed the number one quarterback
Patrick Mahomes got to another Super Bowl, won it, outplayed
who the number one quarterback in Patrick Mahomes. Again, all
he's known is being in the postseason. So Jalen Hurts
has done exactly what he is supposed to do. We
have a play that they tried to outlaw in the
(28:38):
NFL because he runs it, he and his team runs it.
Everybody has a chance to run it, Rob, but for
whatever reasons, he and his team run the best, and
now it's an issue we should try to find a
way to outlaw it. And they didn't agree on it
during the meetings with the owners. However, my point is
that's when you know you're good. You got something they
trying to outlaw, like Shaq being in the paint. We
got to come up with three seconds in the key
(28:58):
or you can't have z own def and you can't
do this. And because you're that dominant at something, Jalen
Hurts has been exactly what the Philadelphia Sephanies Philadelphia Eagles need.
And what drives me crazy about this is you just
mentioned it. If I go through some of these teams,
Rob who have won, look at the teams John Elway,
he had Terrell Davis in the Hall of Fame. He
(29:21):
had a really good receiver Advacaffrey. He had Rod Smith
who was really good receiver as Shannon Sharp was Hall
of Famer. And then he had a bunch of Hall
of Famers and really good guys on the defensive side
of the ball. We're not gonna talk about Patrick mahomes
at on Tyreek Hill, who if he keeps going, is
gonna be a Hall of Famers. He got Kelsey was
a Hall of Famer. He's he's got guys in the
offensive line, he's got defense. Nobody wins by themselves. Peyton Manning.
Which iteration of Peyton Manner do you want? Do you
(29:43):
want the Marvin Harrison and Reggie and Reggie Wayne with
stokely run at the middle in Dallas Clark or you
want Edred James in the backfield?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
You want that version level?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You want to look at that defense for that defense
with the broncoup that won.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
A Super Bowl for him, unloaded, insane defense. And so
my point is you need if you want to go,
let's say go to another sport. Magic Johnson walks right
into the NBA with who Kareem? That's who you walk
into the You're ushered into the NBA with cat Kareem
Abdul Jabbar, and now you get to have Worthy. A
couple of years later, they would draft him. You've got
(30:15):
Byron Scott. In order to win. It takes a full
franchise front office, GMS, coaches quarterbacks in the NFL, rosters defense,
and then identity and this.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Is what we do. We do well.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
It's just so you're mad at him for having that,
and then he does what I'd rather you say, man,
I love what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I think he's talented.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
There's still maybe some those things to be left desired.
If you say I'm fine and then you say this, shoot,
i'ma be honest. I see some similar skill sets, and
I wish I had a team that was as good.
I wish I had a front line offensive line that
was as good. I'd be okay with that. I'd be
okay with that. But to act as if he's not
doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing. And
another example would be Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw did exactly
(30:58):
what he was supposed to do with those Pittsburgh of
the team.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Why his numbers weren't great as the greatest receivers.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
He had frank Co Harrison in the back, and he
had a defense and I'm gonna let him do what
they do and cook and eat. And at the end
of the day, we judge quarterbacks on what wins and
Jalen Hurst, to his credit, has done that. Nobody's saying
he's the best arm or the best quarterback right now,
but he absolutely does what's expecting to him, which is
a win. And I think Cam knows he left a
(31:27):
lot of still to be desired, and I think he's
upset with himself about that. All Right, we got to
talk about this. The little small signings have been happening,
and I like, in particular, some messaging that the Lakers
are sending to one particular player.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I'll tell you who that is.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
It is the aka of Rob Parker kelvin Washington in
the Magic City Monday, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Hey, Alex, it's still a con sports radio stee couple.
Rob Parker Kelvin Washington on a Magic City Monday. Make
sure you check out a YouTube page, make sure you
check out the pod. Make sure you give our shows
a follow on all social media, which is our couple FSR.
(32:19):
Go ahead and give us a follow on all of
those things as yeah show, what.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Other show would you pick? Rob if you had to
be a good question, I don't gotta pick one. What's
the show that comes on after us? Jason Smith? Yeah,
there you go. Falling down? What falling down? Ben Mallor?
But is it Ben Mallor? With no Aaron you have
(32:44):
the question. Yes, it's just Ben and Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
He's a talented radio guy's been doing it for since
this network went on the air, right.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Basically, except for like three months or something like that
when he got laid off.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Then he came back and he came back in three months.
That's right. Yeah, Rob g you were you were his
producer at one was the best year of my life.
I can't believe you were up that overnights and all
that it was. Ben was at my wedding, by the way,
was he he was? There's a lot of slide and stuff.
You just slid that, Pat. Why was that the best year?
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Because Ben Ben Mallard has got the best fans in
sports media bar none, that's not even close. And that, honestly,
it might be to his detriment because like if he
tries to fill in on other times, day parts and
other stations, he can't just do a Dodgers show for
the Dodgers Network because all of the Malon militia's gonna
call in and start doing their thing and it totally
(33:32):
derails what he's trying to do, right, like they're almost
too passionate.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
That's all good, Yeah, all right, there you have it.
I've done some shows with with mister Ben Maler, good shows.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, yeah, you don't seem like I'm trying to figure
out what no, no no. And you listen when you
go to somebody else's house and you wear an ugly
sweater and as you were cheasing, come on and then
send the group chatted.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
And then love that. Me and Aaron, we have the
video of us sit here, we go.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Was gonna trying to keep it just I got too babe,
me and her, So oh my god, you never saw
that ugly sweaters.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
If I was mad, I would have slept you in
my house. And what do you call it karaoke.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I just know you've been not ever hit me one
day sitting here, tell me I been ready to go
to a Coldplay content.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
You know.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
By the way, I just texted Jonas knock. I said, Jonas,
never let Rob meet your wife again, just in case.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Just to be pro.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Jonas's wife was mad because she they came to the
show We're doing the challenge. You're on a k NBC
football show Sunday Nights.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
The Official Odd Couple side.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Piece and Jonas we were on and and uh, I
don't know, something came up and it was something about
some cheap champagne or something, and his wife was there.
I said, I haven't seen this much cheap champagne since
I went to jonas wedding.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Dudes know how to like, are you crazy? I met
you Jonahs laughing his wife wife and women don't.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Laugh and stuff like this is how I know you
just sort of look.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Divorce.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
Women will hold on to that like permanently, am I
lion Robbie.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Dudes know how to just be like Rob being Rob,
He's stupid.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Women will be like when you fit, like that's your
offending her ability.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Their financial situation.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Maybe they were rougher than now, they're better not you
know what I mean, you can't women don't hear that.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
It was funny.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
I'm not saying it one funny, but women here that
mother lover and that's all they hear permanently.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
There's I bet you they're gonna be a conversation this
summer where his wife can ask, Hey, so Jonas, who
are you doing the challenge with this seasons?
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Rob Parker, right, well, we've heard that before plenty. Yeah,
it's all good. Hey, we got a little couple of
minutes here.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
I just want to say I like something I heard, Rob,
and that is that we got some reports. Obviously Marcus
Smart is signing with the Lakers two year eleven mil
I don't think it makes a huge, huge different Obviously,
why not get a guy veteran player, I don't think
get Smart and it's getting for the low. So I'm
not mad at that. What I like more than even
(36:15):
the signing is I like hearing that the reports that
Luca reached out to Marcus Smart made it clear he
wanted to play with the two word, you know, play
with him. I love that you play defensively, offensively, can
run some point guard for green hair. You have green well,
who knows, they'll probably be purple now? Purple be purple now?
Speaker 3 (36:31):
And uh.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
And then you hear that Luca reached out to DeAndre
Aid when he got the buyout with the Suns. Luca,
hey man, need a big man, come on out he
is He's gonna be waiting to because, as we mentioned,
I like that this is all moving forward for Luca
and the Lakers wrong right, win or lose.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
This is their guy.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
It's not feel wrong that one guy's twenty five right
soon to be twenty six and the other guy's forty wrong.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
With the signings, that is what I was saying. Not
the num absolutely makes sense. Luca, here's the keys, here's
the franchise. What do you like? What do you want
to do moving forward? And Lebron got to learn to
be okay with that if this is, you know, if
he chooses to be here another year, if they move
on next year, whatever. And I think it only makes
sense because if this was twenty six year old Lebron
best believe you know handling the keys.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
These keys to the franchise are yours.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
So I just love hearing that that Luca's reaching out
Lucas kind of get guys. Lucas trying to build his
team around him and what works for him because it's
his franchise and they're tied to him, especially once he
gets this extension. So to me, I just love hearing
that that Luca's reaching out to Aden, He's connecting with guys,
reaching out to Smart too Smart, and building this thing
moving forward for him.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
So I like hearing that.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Jerry Jones, you know what Jerry Jones did, Rob Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
We'll explain. It's the Ode couple.
