Speaker 1 (01:37):
Uh So we saw Alex out. That mean I think
he's somewhere. I was nervous opening the picture. I'm not
gonna lie. No, just you know Monday for him, sons out,
buns out, and I was nervous. But I think he's
got the pasty white ones going. Yes, he had shorts on.
He did, Thank god he didn't.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Send I have like the whole bline.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You gotta be careful figures. Yeah, I was nervous, but absolutely.
And update on the game seven to seven, ten to seven,
I should say TCU just added a field goal, So
ten to seven TCU over North Carolina. Bill Belichick's day
butt in at UNC. So that'll be interesting to see
(02:15):
as this thing plays out as well. But college football
is back, obviously, and we saw a lot of stuff
going on and Miami beating Notre Dame a big, big game.
A lot of people were interested in that down in Miami.
Had a record attendance if I remember reading correctly right
for that game, and the celebrities and former players were
(02:37):
out in full force. They were right for that game.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And one thing I liked about that one obviously Texas
Ohio State, which was like an old nineteen seventies game
with that score and how defensive it was. But I
like that we got some bigger matchups. You know, we
got number six, Notre Dame, number ten.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Use his cupcakes.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, exact first, I call them law firms. You know,
you just playing these schools that sound like you know.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
That well, you know, at Michigan the first three weeks
so just terrible. You know that. For Le's Appalachian State
coming up in there? You know what Today's the anniversary?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Is it early?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I didn't even know is it today? Appalachian State? Looked
at up Ryan, Not that I want to hear about it,
but no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think it is today, Which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
How long did they'll tell me? Take a guess? Because
I just saw this it is today? I want to
go it is been guess thirteen years? Higher sixteen? Right
in the sixteen, I think it's sixteen years.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
It was two thousand and seven, so that'd be eighteen years,
eighteen eighteen years.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Wow, I was awful going fifteen with my I'll never
forget that, you know obviously you still yeah, I was
still there.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
What am I talking about? I was still there?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh yeah when that happened. That was like the shock way.
That was the beginning. Weren't going to be great Lloyd
Carr's career right there.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah, appleatcha State and then Apple just they had a
nerd to go off and be good for like the
next decade, like a real like you gotta beat them.
But back to Miami. So we got a good game
last night and they end up winning twenty seven twenty four.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But we got to talk about unk.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And I've had a lot of unk in my life
lately because I was watching that told you the America's
team and Michael Irving is, aside from Jerry Jones, might
be the biggest person in as far as just always
in it.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
So he's sweating in the documentary.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
He kept it real, like made you uncomfortable, real, like
all this they went there today, Ask them, oh what
they did the whole entire seventh episode. I mean they
kept it real. The ladies. The ladies are in it,
they talking to the FBI agents are in it. The
dude the prosecution who's mad because we had him we
had him cornered and the judge offered him a deal.
(04:38):
The judge is in it, I mean, and he just
goes there. He says something that his wife said to
him that was deep as heck, and that's what brought
him to tears.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
He talked about Jerry.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Jerry starts crying because Jerry said, like that's his favorite
cowboy of all time.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It is Michael Irban and like they're just connected. And yeah,
they went there there.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I mean, they showed the tape of him getting caught
on tape snitching I mean, not snitching, but you know,
buying the drugs, and they showed a house all episode
you know, this is the White House we called it.
And I mean they went there and he just talked
about it. You know, he thought he was opening honest
about his demons. So that was kind of you know,
it was refreshing that he just kept it real, like
they're nothing to hide, and they just went there and
they talked about They even believe that fractured the team
(05:18):
because they just were never quite the same that trio,
the triplets, him, Troy and Eman.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And all that. So they went there.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
But with that being said, was on the sideline as
he has been known to be with the Canes. And uh,
I don't know if Michael Irv got the memo he
wasn't suiting up, rob Did you see the sweat coming
off of him when he went back through the tunnel
like he had playing when it touchdown, like Jimmy Johnson
(05:48):
dialed up his number like uncle was going crazy And
then you get the video here and he says, I'm
blanking tired.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
He was waving the town better than corn Bread Maxwell.
I'm all right, Like he's the only good reference, right,
corn Brad Maxwell.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Look it up.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He's the all time towel waiver of the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Gosh yo. And he was going crazy, which leads to
the conversation. And obviously we love it. He's having fun.
But is it too much to having people like Michael Irvin?
Remember last year he was down on all fours and
everybody's unk. You got to relax. You don't remember that, Ryan,
I don't. He was dum look google that get your
(06:26):
google's going. He was down on all four barking at
the game, going crazy and everybody's an unk.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You're doing hey too much?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But yeah, you start to see some of those players
getting down there, they get fired up. And my concern
only the only concern I have is like, and this
is why he's there, and he's a part of the
game because people like him. I was even concerned about
Kevin Garnett, who are so into the game, like nothing
else matters to them, like nothing else can get him going,
(06:57):
can feel that void, can feel that hole. And so
you were about them a little bit, you know what
I mean, Like life has to go on. He retired
and I think thirty two or thirty three, like, God,
will you get another forty five fifty five years?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
What else we doing? You see them all fours? Yet
run y'all see that? You see them all fours? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That was doing too much? Right, Yeah, we fifty some
years old. We can't be down there on all fours,
barking on the sideline. But I don't want to sound
like a party pooper. And I get it, which I'm
about to poop oo it, And I get it, like
this is your school and you have pride, and you
you know, they give they give you credential to be
(07:37):
on the sideline. But I think it's unfair, and I
think it's unfair to the kids because it's their spotlight,
and they're going to put the camera on Michael Orban
because of who he was is I should say, his
career there and of course winning through Super Bowls with
the Cowboys. So I get all of that, but I
just I think there's a time and place and let
(08:00):
the kids have their fun tonight at this game. Lawrence
Taylor isn't on the sidelines of the game. He's in
the in a suite with Michael Jordan and Williams and
and Mia Ham right like, like that's where you should
be enjoying your school having fun.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You don't need to be on the sidelines.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And you know, if you want to come during the week,
help the coach that the wide receiver coach, you know
what I mean, give some tips if kids want to
ask you questions, how do I do this?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
How do I get better?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'm all for that grand standing during the game and
waving towels and trying to be on television whether you
want to be or not. I just don't think that
that's where we should be and where he should be.
I think I think that there's something wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
There has to be a line where you can be
a part you can even be on the sideline.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I don't mind, because there's always guys here. Here's the
here's the rub.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There are guys on the sideline that we don't know
about because they're not acting right right now. There could
be an ex he just was talking about Julius Peppers
is at the game. He might be on the sideline now,
but like, you don't know because he's not going crazy.
So I think that the challenge with Michael Irvin is
he was up in the press rest of the time.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like, there's a place for you.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm not saying don't go to the game and don't
support your school or anything, or or help the coach.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
During the game.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
He he, I think there's a point when you can
enjoy it. We want you here, We want to build
the camaraderie, we want to build the alumni. You know,
to everybody coming back so you feel the school feels
the presence. We're about to bring back old Miami ways.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
We're gonna be winning.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
You absolutely want that because it's great for It's just
great for the atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Is grateful, recruiting is great for everything. But he's not
the only guy who played there. You can't bring everybody back.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We can't have you here coming every bounce it all
off for us, barking. We can't have you here going
crazy on the sideline, sweating, going wild. But again, I
think that's the challenge, is like Mike, like what else?
What else do I have? And I think that's the
when you talk to a lot of athletes, this has
been all I've known since I was five.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, but that's their moment, And I agree with that part.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
They have to find their ways to contribute, to be
a part, to have fun, to be in the sign,
but it can't be at the cost of like you've
taken all the attention and you kind of look like
there's nothing else, because dude, you gotta relax, Mike.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But here's my other issue.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Though, you think he's the only former North I mean,
former Miami Hurricane who would like to help out or
be with the do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And you couldn't make those.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
You couldn't allow everybody to come back who wants to
come back and be on the sideline. Do you know
what your your field would look like if all the
players wanted to come back.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I mean He's not the only guy who plays might
be the he might be the biggest Miami Hurricane. I'm
actually pausing and thinking to make sure I totally get
from the area.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I get all that, but there are other players too,
and I'm saying, I'm sure that at some point you
got us cut it off because you can't have everybody
coming back, everybody being at the game.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I go all the time.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
You know this.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You go to Dodgers Stadium, not every former Dodger is
in the press box, you know, because they they want
to come back or to get down on the field.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
They don't. They don't. They don't allowed to do that.
But that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Mike his life, and for whatever reason, the Hurricanes are like, hey, Mike,
just you can never come back. I would have to
have an apb out for Michael Irvin. I would be
concerned for him.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I told you.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Buddy of mine used to talk about how we were
concerned for Kevin Garnett because like he's so passionate.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's like what else is he gonna do? Thank God
he's got that pot.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
And then Paul Pierce because like he has to talk basketball,
he has to feel it That's why his storytelling is
so great.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
He makes you feel like you're there. I'm like, man,
he's sweating, he's going crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Kevin Garnett like his blood pressure when he gets a
talking ball man, he's like whoa. And Michael Irvin has
a bit of that to them, and mis Smith talked
about that in the doc. He's just like as good
as I was at Troy, and Mike was the lifeline
of our team like that when he left and retired,
because when we had the broken neck and all that.
(12:19):
He's like the life of our team, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And I'm not knocking his enthusiasm for his alma mana,
this and this football program and all that.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Stuff is great.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I just think that there is comes a time where
the players, those players deserve to have the spotlight right,
and it should be about them and the cameras should
be on them more so than former players and guys
who are like looking for.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
You said all that.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Ryan ain't listening to none of this man saying he
about be going crazy on the sidelines in southern Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, I'm not even with my name up there. I'm
not your name up there. Give you the press box
or whatever. And now you can't go crazy. I'm not
gonna be I can't get on all fours knowing I'm
not barking.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You can't bark sweating, I'm blaking tide. You can't do
all that. I'm not doing all you name in the
press box. After you, you gotta give us something.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You got to run into a ref like a CD
lamb death to day running to him over that first
of dang, that's how I know the Cowboys season.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
But that was the omen right there. Ryan season is
a rap all right?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, and pretty simple.
Should former players like Michael Irvin? Is it too much
for them to be on the sidelines doing what he's doing?
Or do you do you embrace what he's done and
(13:51):
what he does at games?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Do you understand it? Or is there a boundaries?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
And the coach feels bad because if you tell Michael
he can't come anymore than you're the bad guy and
put the coach in a bad spot.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It goes on a local radio and says it, and
there exactly you can't then you're you're the bad guy. Oh,
how could you do that? You know what he did
for this program? Whatever? And then so you're in a
bad spot. You make the coach feel a certain kind
of way. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, it

I just match what mad Alright, alright, alright, roll call

Speaker 1 (17:36):
All Right, Robert in Miami, you're Fox Sports Radio. What
you got, Robert, Hey.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
Fellas, how you guys doing.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Day?
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Man? You know I got to defend mikeel a little
bit here.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (17:50):
You know, it's a it's.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
A tradition that goes back, like to the eighties.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
Miami players being on the sidelines.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Mike's not the first guy to do it.
Speaker 11 (17:57):
It's been happening for a long long time.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
When he was when he was a player.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
I mean, he had Stanley Shakespeare and Eddie Brown and
people like that on.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
The sideline for him. So it goes back a long
long time.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
They definitely embraced the culture.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I get that, Robert, but the barking on the knees
and I just think, Robert, I hear you, it looks
like it's a lot and even I like after the game,
did you see like he's in the tunnel with the towel?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Like, where where the kids can they put the camera
on the kids? To put the camera on them? Right?
Who's actually playing? I wish we didn't lose him. Drew
in New Jersey, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up? Drew?
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Hey, you guys. I don't have a problem with that.
I feel like that's good for the fans. It shows
that you actually, even though you're an athlete, a lot
of these people are not as passions. It's still just passion.
But I want to know your thoughts on keep on
spend not know who Barry Sanders is. Did you hear
about that?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah? I did actually see that.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, the greatest, my favorite athlete of all time any sport.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
It's my favorite Apple. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I mean a lot of things were wrong with that. Obviously,
the color, the uniform, the number, none of it matched up.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So that was that crime. Yeah, that was really bad. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Dion in Texas, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
What's up, Dion?
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Hey, what's up? Guys.
Speaker 10 (19:13):
Hey, I'm at work too. I'm taking a quick break.
But it's always see a couple of brothers out there
working with me.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yes, yeah, get early in the morning.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
Early. But you know what, man, I think it's always
a positive thing when you have former athletes who come
back and inspire your young your youth and uh motivate
those guys uh at a big game. At the same time,
Michael Irvan never misses the opportunity to miss an opportunity.
This guy always find himself and controversial type of things,
(19:45):
whether it's good or bad. So you kind of have
a disdained taste in your mouth. So Mike Irvan, like
Jeroon said, maybe you're five minutes of fame is up
and let's let's let the spotlight be on the kids.
And you know, just showing at bit of class. Most
of the time, you're getting too old to be acting.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Like and you know, Dion, see that's what I'm saying,
Like you could you could have an impact.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You could be around the kids if.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
You like to appreciate I appreciate you. But you saw
that in the tunnel way it just it just didn't end. Seriously,
he put in four quarters or hard work.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I mean he was soaking. He deserved that gatorade. Bad.
Don't do him like that, Roight, No, this is my thing.
Have all the fun go all in. We know that.
My only thing is.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I think there's a certain point you can kind of
go oh am, I making it about me got by
the way.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I do believe he genuinely is all in. Like, I
don't think it's an act.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I think he's one of those people who can't Like
if I'm there it's football being played, obviously, I'm connected
to the Cowboys. So if it's the Cowboys, obviously I'm
connected to the Kings. So if it's the case, I'm
all in. I think that's a real act for him,
Like he's that passionate about it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I don't doubt that he's passionate about the school.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Like, all right, hold on a little bit, maybe put
you in this week and some snacks, relaxed.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Just just drop back a little bit. Let's go back
to Robert in Miami because we had lost them. Robert,
you're in the couple of fire Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Good?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You got The point is I'm not against former players
being a part of their school or whatever, but there's
a time and a place and and you don't want
to like overdo it. Like I just saw the video
inside the the Tunnel.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It just seemed like it was like overdone.
Speaker 10 (21:33):
No, when I got cut off, I was gonna tell
you there. You know, it's a tradition in Miami, but
Mike is a special case because.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
That guy is just two energy all the time.
Speaker 10 (21:45):
What you guys said that that it's real, it's absolutely real.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, I don't even I don't even doubt it. I
don't even doubt it. But I'm just saying, it just
seems that the other kids who are there playing it
should be about them.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
That's all I'm saying, Robert, do you do you understand.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
What I'm Oh, no, listen, I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
But but but a lot of that also, it's the.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Media kind of kind of pointing the camera at him.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
He's just there to support the kids.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well, if he's out there, he's going ballistic and he's
down there on all four last year market to come on, Robert,
They're not gonna they're gonna say, like, oh yeah, don't
put the camera on him.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
You gotta you guys, gotta go to you guys, gotta
go to the pregame tailgate and see the guy at
the pregame tailgate, and you'll get a sense for that's
just who he is.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
No, I.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Don't I don't think. I don't think he has any malice.
I don't think he has any bad intes. I don't
think he's going there they put the cameras on me.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I don't think. It's just more like a came here.
Just take it.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
There were in the National Championship Game. Okay, I'm with you.
We're in a big but no big, a CC something.
Come on, but somebody should just say, hey, let the kid.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Let the kids have their moment. Would you here like
doing all that? I guess the camera is going to
be focused on you. Some kid just made a great
play or he got an emotion his name and right
right that that that's all. It has nothing to do
with whether you love your school, how much you're really
pulling for your school, all that. I get all that,
but it just seems to me just a little over
(23:15):
the top.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
He knows it because he talked about so he does.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
He does the Cameron it is what it is show
with Mason Cameron, and they talked about it that you're
doing you you was wilding with the bark Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
They called him out.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
They're like that last today on the last when he
was doing the barking and all that, they were like,
come on, that was that was crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Mike was crazy.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
He was like, I know, I just get it because
they were replaying Mike. They was like, you might've get
the pause that because he was arching his back. It
was a little wild. Michael was wilding a little bit,
all right. We got conversation to be had a boy
somebody who's retiring, and it made you think of some
other people that kind of rose the fame, like he
did me kill you that in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
App The Odd Couple, Rob Parker, Kelvin Washington on This
Magic City Monday and Uh, Rob, we got somebody who's retired.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Inn he from them.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I didn't even know he was still playing dangd. I
didn't know either, but dangdd he is retiring and that
is one Oh wow, I just realized we had the
same birthday. Now I have to speak favorably of him. Okay,
greatness is born on Wednsday, August twenty third. Jeremy Lynn
is calling it a career.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Uh, Jeremy Land, of course, we know Lynn Sanity, which
was just something you kind of had to be there for.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I know, I bought short seventy five percent off in
New York? Did you three weeks after all this stuff
was on the clearance?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Was it just like did it say his name on it?
Or is it just some New k like Lin Sanity
stuff like you know it did? Yeah, and then we're
all on sale like he had a great little run.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh no, I have no, dude, and his story is great,
just what he did for, you know, the Asian community.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He talks about it.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
If you saw, I want to say it was the
documentary's called two Weeks or something. I can't remember. Maybe
it was fourteen Days or something like that. They talk
about it. I forgot the title of it. But yeah,
after I actually had a really solid career for a
guy who came in, you know, with no expectations, kind
of came out of surprise. And we know that that
run he had with the Knicks in twenty eleven into
twenty twelve season where he was just going crazy on
(25:26):
people games against the Lakers other people. Ended up averaging
fifteen a game that year, got him a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, was he Sports Illustrated twice and once weeks or
twice in three weeks.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I think it was twice in two weeks got him
a bunch of money as well.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Just made me think of fran You could jump in
on this, Chris Mary, if you want, just people who
had meteoric rises where like out of the blue, they
make a great play or two, or they do something
and then there all of a sudden they're kind of
on the spotlight in the sports world, you know, where
like you're like, man, look at this, like Jeremy because
Lin Sandity was in, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
It was crazy. For those who don't remember it, or
maybe you were a little younger.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Dude, it was insane because you saw it for a night,
then you saw it the next night. I know Kobe Bryant,
God bless it, Dad, he's gonna absolutely lock him down.
He's going crazy on the Lakers, dropping twenty thirty points
on them, and it was just this crazy run where
he was so hot, he was feeling and his team
was pushing it to the point, you know, allegedly rumors
that Mellow was feeling some type of way like hold on,
(26:25):
I'm supposed to be mister nick and y'all over here
loving yeah, because he was heard right, Milo was out
and everybody was loving insanity got him playing.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
The whole team was playing well. So it just made
me think any other.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Meteoric rises like that where somebody kind of comes in
and and out the blue becomes a hot thing, And
maybe they didn't, it didn't last, but it was hot.
Like what was the running back that did that for
the Browns? A few years he was on the Madden
cover Peyton Hillis. Peyton Hillis was like, whoa, Okay, it's
(26:57):
about to be you know, Mike Austin running back in
the league. Okay, And I heard Peyton Hillis. Since got
on the Madden cover, way he heard from him? Since Ryan,
where's your Peyton Peyton Hillis? Hillis saw Jersey? You still
got it?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I wish I did? Yeah, that's gone?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Who else was I was trying to think of somebody
that came out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Came out of nowhere, was hot for a minute, and
then kind of just oh, faded away.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
There's one example with the Dodgers, like a decade or
so ago. You might remember Louis Cruz. Remember when he
came on at the end of the season. The Dodgers
needed a third baseman. They had had a handful of injuries,
and then Luis Cruz kind of came up out of nowhere.
He was a journeyman, minor.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Leaguer and got a hitting.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Yeah, for like two months, he went on a terror
and it was fantastic, and the fans were rallying behind him.
Because this is also a time where things weren't going
too well for the Dodgers as.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
A whole obvious one.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Of course, but it's because like Cruise like died off
instantly going into next season, they're like, oh, we've got
we've got our.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Third right and Peak had Peak had a few years.
Let's not make it like he.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Know what I'm saying, Jeremy Lynn had a few he
played a long time what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But if you look at Puig, like Pig was a
really good player right Ryan for like four or five.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Year is you thought he was gonna be that guy
and he kind of just he had other issues. I think,
yeah he did, yeah, but but he was tremendous. Like
his throwing arm.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I still think, man, he one of the throws I've
seen in baseball where he's in foul territory down the
left field line and he threw a guy out the plate.
I don't know if you remember that, dude, you know
what I'm talking about. It was the most unbelievable throw
on the fly, didn't bounce.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
I was at his major league debut and in that game,
the game ended with a double play where Puig caught
the ball on the warning track and on his back
foot threw it to first base to double up the runner.
It was incredible, and that's how the game that was his.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
I remember him are maddening because they're like people see there, like.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Man, I remember writing a column.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Anti Puegue being on the All Star team because he
had just played and they were trying to get him
on the All Star team because he caught fire like
from Jump Street, and I was like, it's just too premature,
Like they just didn't have enough. You know what I mean,
body of work to be an All star. Yeah, but
but he was. He was one of those guys.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
He was special.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Yeah, there's just a handful of people, I mean, and
what he doesn't count because the meetwork rises there. But
then he actually has to stay in success. So but
he doesn't have apples apples and a Jeremy Lynn. But
Kurt Warner, I mean, you talked about coming out the blue,
undrafted back and groceries.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
All a sudden, he's Hall of fame. He's a Hall
of fame. But he did he didn't. He didn't. He
came out of nowhere, but he was definitely he wasn't.
He didn't.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
He didn't have a Jeremy Lynn there, and they just
became like what he was, which is a backup, backup player. Yeah,
ended up being a Laker, being a whole bunch of
teams too. Hey man, it's made some good money. Shoot,
oh you can When he came, we play at Harvard, right?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Was it Harvard? One of them? Harvard? Yeah, it might
be Harvard. You think you're right.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I think it's Harvard. He played, He played at Harvard.
That's what made the story. He played at hard Am
I right? About that or no, I think you are right? Yeah,
college Harvard, yep, how Harvard?
Speaker 11 (30:21):
Right?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Harvard Harvard, yeah yeah yeah, and uh you know so
that IVY League Asian right.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You add all those things together, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And even Sports Illustrated they were trying to make some
money off off the magazine because they put him on
the cover twice. I don't even think. I don't know,
we have to look it up. Michael Jordan was never
on the cover back to back weeks, you know what
I mean? Like like for somebody to be on the
Sports Illustrated cover at that time back to back weeks
was unheard of.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Over I'm gonna throw a number out Jeremy Lynn's total
salary earnings.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
What do you think over under? Make a number here?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Fifty five million? Under Ryan over under fifty five million.
I'll go over sixty five million. That's crazy. That's that's
that's with sugar enough. That's crazy. I sixty five million.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
There was a look, look at this run he had.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
He was making eleven and a half twelve thirteen million
dollars from the nets in the Hawks. That's after he
got that money from the Uh tell them what you
just pointed at? Did you see that?
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Ryan?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
The first drive seven plays eighty three yards? Yep. After that,
seventeen plays they gained twenty yards on seventeen plays.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Talking about the Tar Hills by the way, sorry, average
at about one point one yards per play.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
That's that's off. And there we are. It is twenty
to what seven is up? The score? Twenty seven? Yeah,
twenty two. Dang, Jeremy Lynn won? He won yo?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh yeah, sixty five million, sixty five even if you
have right half of that because taxes agent, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (32:17):

thirty some millions.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
And the craziest party's gonna walk away being able to
be like.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
My career average. Career average is almost twelve, twelve and four.
That's a legit. Twelve and four is like, that's real.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
But he was a good player, I mean, just wasn't
what we saw those two. He you thought it's gonna
be an all star.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
If you watched those two, if you fail from ours
and watched him in New York for them two three weeks,
well you're like, oh, he was about to be the
next one of them ones.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Steve Nash is he's up next?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
All right?

That was the longest we both ever done. For a minute.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Alright, let's do uh, let's say Wayne in Virginia, you're the.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Last call here on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Wayne?
Speaker 8 (34:07):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
How are you.
Speaker 8 (34:12):
Another damn paradise man? I can't complain. I wanted to
let y'all know. It's okay for Bill Belichick, right, he's
a great coach. We can never doubt that. So he's
gonna lose this game and probably have a bad season.
But don't forget. Tom Brady's son is eighteen. Jack Brady
is eighteen years old, so he'll have his rescue wagon
on the way soon.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Oh my goodness, man, it all now.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Wayne started laughing right then he said laughing in the
middle of it. Thanks Wayne, appreciate it. Let's squeeze in
one more last call. We're feeling good on this Labor day.
How about Frank in Boston. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. You are the last call.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
What's up? Frank?
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Oh yeah, tonight, bro. So I go way way back
with the Celtics, and there was a guy who you
reminded me when you were talking about Jeremy Lynn, also
a local guy from Harvard, the Baltimore Bullets. I think
they were still the Bullets back then. Okay, it was
like maybe it might have even been like the unseld years.
(35:15):
And they played, they knocked out the Celtics in the
Eastern Conference playoffs, and this guy named Nick Witherspoon absolutely
dominated John Halichik, an all time great ballplayer. Nick Witherspoon
was unbelievable that series. Halichick could not do anything against
(35:36):
this guy. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Shot out to him and he fell off and then
he lost that. Yeah, that was it right then?
Speaker 9 (35:47):
Then then nothing, nothing before and nothing after. He came
off the bench and he like solved the problem of
Halicheck that most teams couldn't solve.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
You know what that reminds me of, Frank, reminds me
of another guy like that, Matthew Delavadova.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Yeah, that's another guy. You know, guy how you know?
Speaker 4 (36:05):
And and and then you just you're like, Okay, had
a decent running in the finals, and you know, it
looks like it'd be a scrapper playing and.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Just yeah, he had Lebron locked up.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Matt Matt Flynn yep, one game, six touchdowns, a bunch
of money over the summer.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
You like, man, his life is changed.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Wait, Matt Flynn was definitely seen him since he destroyed
the line.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Did he play after that? Do you know? You don't
sure he popped in the game.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I don't. I don't know. After he left Seattle, I
don't remember Matt. Maybe he did hold a clipboard with somebody.
I've not seen Matt Flynn ever since. I don't know
if he's doing sideline report now and if he's played
by color analysts.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I don't know if he's a high school coach. I've
not seen Matt Flynn since.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Who else is out there to him at the bank
because he got a lot of money from Seattle or
I got one.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
But he had a few seasons, so he doesn't quite count.
But maybe he wanted more. Dante Colepepper is he did
he have a little success? They were like that was
that team that was fifteen and one.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
You remember that that was Black America's team.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
They had everybody. Dennis Green was the coach.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
They had a black quarterback, Dante Colepepper, first, Carter Randy
Munt seriously, and that team was loaded up America. That
was Black America's team. Black America's team.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Now, I don't know if there is one, but I
remember back the Ravens. I think if all the Black
America had to come to agreement.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Like, I know you might be a Buccaneers fan of
this fan, I think I think Black Americans if we
had a delegation and we all came together, I think
he'd be.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
So Matt Flynn, are you ready? So you talked about
the six touchdown game, which was a big one. How
many touchdowns you think he finished with in his career? Unbelievab?
So the six were his first time go so he
had six? He had six against the Lions in that
game twenty eleven. Yeah, he was on a team from
twenty oh and go eight a little more than that. Well,
(37:52):
seventeen seventeen and threw when did he throw more? Seventeen
and eleven?
Speaker 3 (38:00):
He got all basically a third of his in one game.
Is that is that unbelieved?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Made crazy money, he got paid. But but the stats,
he had no stats. I'm looking at him right now.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
It's overreaction. Did the Seahawks just do it again with
Sam Darnold.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
There's a good question right there.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
See a guy having good now his was at least
a whole year, not just you know, a game, but
man not able to pay him as.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Well, unbelievable. Yep. Yeah, and that was with the Lions.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
He had six touchdowns that year in that game, the
last game of the year. Six touchdowns enough and that
was enough for them to seen enough. I was trying
to remember what the what the bag was, but he
made a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
He was like thirty something guaranteed back then.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Yeah, that's what I feel like it was. Yeah, Like
he was thirty thirty six guaranteed for him. He's like,
who is this, dude, Welcome back? Man, got to do radio?
Speaker 8 (38:59):
Man?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You you didn't you didn't forget good energy.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, we will be back and I'm going to be
around and for the rest of the year and the
Super Bowl and yeah, Lions versus I'm still thinking, yeah,
we're coming up to that Lions. But against the Lions
in Game one, I'll tell you that that.
Speaker 3 (39:18):

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Uh So we saw Alex out. That mean I think
he's somewhere. I was nervous opening the picture. I'm not
gonna lie. No, just you know Monday for him, sons out,
buns out, and I was nervous. But I think he's
got the pasty white ones going. Yes, he had shorts on.
He did, Thank god he didn't.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Send I have like the whole bline.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You gotta be careful figures. Yeah, I was nervous, but absolutely.
And update on the game seven to seven, ten to seven,
I should say TCU just added a field goal, So
ten to seven TCU over North Carolina. Bill Belichick's day
butt in at UNC. So that'll be interesting to see
(02:15):
as this thing plays out as well. But college football
is back, obviously, and we saw a lot of stuff
going on and Miami beating Notre Dame a big, big game.
A lot of people were interested in that down in Miami.
Had a record attendance if I remember reading correctly right
for that game, and the celebrities and former players were
(02:37):
out in full force. They were right for that game.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And one thing I liked about that one obviously Texas
Ohio State, which was like an old nineteen seventies game
with that score and how defensive it was. But I
like that we got some bigger matchups. You know, we
got number six, Notre Dame, number ten.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Use his cupcakes.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, exact first, I call them law firms. You know,
you just playing these schools that sound like you know.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
That well, you know, at Michigan the first three weeks
so just terrible. You know that. For Le's Appalachian State
coming up in there? You know what Today's the anniversary?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Is it early?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I didn't even know is it today? Appalachian State? Looked
at up Ryan, Not that I want to hear about it,
but no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think it is today, Which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
How long did they'll tell me? Take a guess? Because
I just saw this it is today? I want to
go it is been guess thirteen years? Higher sixteen? Right
in the sixteen, I think it's sixteen years.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
It was two thousand and seven, so that'd be eighteen years,
eighteen eighteen years.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Wow, I was awful going fifteen with my I'll never
forget that, you know obviously you still yeah, I was
still there.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
What am I talking about? I was still there?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh yeah when that happened. That was like the shock way.
That was the beginning. Weren't going to be great Lloyd
Carr's career right there.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah, appleatcha State and then Apple just they had a
nerd to go off and be good for like the
next decade, like a real like you gotta beat them.
But back to Miami. So we got a good game
last night and they end up winning twenty seven twenty four.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But we got to talk about unk.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
And I've had a lot of unk in my life
lately because I was watching that told you the America's
team and Michael Irving is, aside from Jerry Jones, might
be the biggest person in as far as just always
in it.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
So he's sweating in the documentary.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
He kept it real, like made you uncomfortable, real, like
all this they went there today, Ask them, oh what
they did the whole entire seventh episode. I mean they
kept it real. The ladies. The ladies are in it,
they talking to the FBI agents are in it. The
dude the prosecution who's mad because we had him we
had him cornered and the judge offered him a deal.
(04:38):
The judge is in it, I mean, and he just
goes there. He says something that his wife said to
him that was deep as heck, and that's what brought
him to tears.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
He talked about Jerry.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Jerry starts crying because Jerry said, like that's his favorite
cowboy of all time.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It is Michael Irban and like they're just connected. And yeah,
they went there there.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I mean, they showed the tape of him getting caught
on tape snitching I mean, not snitching, but you know,
buying the drugs, and they showed a house all episode
you know, this is the White House we called it.
And I mean they went there and he just talked
about it. You know, he thought he was opening honest
about his demons. So that was kind of you know,
it was refreshing that he just kept it real, like
they're nothing to hide, and they just went there and
they talked about They even believe that fractured the team
(05:18):
because they just were never quite the same that trio,
the triplets, him, Troy and Eman.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And all that. So they went there.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
But with that being said, was on the sideline as
he has been known to be with the Canes. And uh,
I don't know if Michael Irv got the memo he
wasn't suiting up, rob Did you see the sweat coming
off of him when he went back through the tunnel
like he had playing when it touchdown, like Jimmy Johnson
(05:48):
dialed up his number like uncle was going crazy And
then you get the video here and he says, I'm
blanking tired.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
He was waving the town better than corn Bread Maxwell.
I'm all right, Like he's the only good reference, right,
corn Brad Maxwell.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Look it up.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
He's the all time towel waiver of the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Gosh yo. And he was going crazy, which leads to
the conversation. And obviously we love it. He's having fun.
But is it too much to having people like Michael Irvin?
Remember last year he was down on all fours and
everybody's unk. You got to relax. You don't remember that, Ryan,
I don't. He was dum look google that get your
(06:26):
google's going. He was down on all four barking at
the game, going crazy and everybody's an unk.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You're doing hey too much?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
But yeah, you start to see some of those players
getting down there, they get fired up. And my concern
only the only concern I have is like, and this
is why he's there, and he's a part of the
game because people like him. I was even concerned about
Kevin Garnett, who are so into the game, like nothing
else matters to them, like nothing else can get him going,
(06:57):
can feel that void, can feel that hole. And so
you were about them a little bit, you know what
I mean, Like life has to go on. He retired
and I think thirty two or thirty three, like, God,
will you get another forty five fifty five years?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
What else we doing? You see them all fours? Yet
run y'all see that? You see them all fours? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That was doing too much? Right, Yeah, we fifty some
years old. We can't be down there on all fours,
barking on the sideline. But I don't want to sound
like a party pooper. And I get it, which I'm
about to poop oo it, And I get it, like
this is your school and you have pride, and you
you know, they give they give you credential to be
(07:37):
on the sideline. But I think it's unfair, and I
think it's unfair to the kids because it's their spotlight,
and they're going to put the camera on Michael Orban
because of who he was is I should say, his
career there and of course winning through Super Bowls with
the Cowboys. So I get all of that, but I
just I think there's a time and place and let
(08:00):
the kids have their fun tonight at this game. Lawrence
Taylor isn't on the sidelines of the game. He's in
the in a suite with Michael Jordan and Williams and
and Mia Ham right like, like that's where you should
be enjoying your school having fun.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
You don't need to be on the sidelines.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And you know, if you want to come during the week,
help the coach that the wide receiver coach, you know
what I mean, give some tips if kids want to
ask you questions, how do I do this?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
How do I get better?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'm all for that grand standing during the game and
waving towels and trying to be on television whether you
want to be or not. I just don't think that
that's where we should be and where he should be.
I think I think that there's something wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
There has to be a line where you can be
a part you can even be on the sideline.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I don't mind, because there's always guys here. Here's the
here's the rub.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There are guys on the sideline that we don't know
about because they're not acting right right now. There could
be an ex he just was talking about Julius Peppers
is at the game. He might be on the sideline now,
but like, you don't know because he's not going crazy.
So I think that the challenge with Michael Irvin is
he was up in the press rest of the time.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like, there's a place for you.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm not saying don't go to the game and don't
support your school or anything, or or help the coach.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
During the game.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
He he, I think there's a point when you can
enjoy it. We want you here, We want to build
the camaraderie, we want to build the alumni. You know,
to everybody coming back so you feel the school feels
the presence. We're about to bring back old Miami ways.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
We're gonna be winning.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
You absolutely want that because it's great for It's just
great for the atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Is grateful, recruiting is great for everything. But he's not
the only guy who played there. You can't bring everybody back.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We can't have you here coming every bounce it all
off for us, barking. We can't have you here going
crazy on the sideline, sweating, going wild. But again, I
think that's the challenge, is like Mike, like what else?
What else do I have? And I think that's the
when you talk to a lot of athletes, this has
been all I've known since I was five.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, but that's their moment, And I agree with that part.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
They have to find their ways to contribute, to be
a part, to have fun, to be in the sign,
but it can't be at the cost of like you've
taken all the attention and you kind of look like
there's nothing else, because dude, you gotta relax, Mike.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But here's my other issue.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Though, you think he's the only former North I mean,
former Miami Hurricane who would like to help out or
be with the do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
And you couldn't make those.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
You couldn't allow everybody to come back who wants to
come back and be on the sideline. Do you know
what your your field would look like if all the
players wanted to come back.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I mean He's not the only guy who plays might
be the he might be the biggest Miami Hurricane. I'm
actually pausing and thinking to make sure I totally get
from the area.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I get all that, but there are other players too,
and I'm saying, I'm sure that at some point you
got us cut it off because you can't have everybody
coming back, everybody being at the game.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I go all the time.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
You know this.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You go to Dodgers Stadium, not every former Dodger is
in the press box, you know, because they they want
to come back or to get down on the field.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
They don't. They don't. They don't allowed to do that.
But that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Mike his life, and for whatever reason, the Hurricanes are like, hey, Mike,
just you can never come back. I would have to
have an apb out for Michael Irvin. I would be
concerned for him.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I told you.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Buddy of mine used to talk about how we were
concerned for Kevin Garnett because like he's so passionate.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's like what else is he gonna do? Thank God
he's got that pot.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
And then Paul Pierce because like he has to talk basketball,
he has to feel it That's why his storytelling is
so great.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
He makes you feel like you're there. I'm like, man,
he's sweating, he's going crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Kevin Garnett like his blood pressure when he gets a
talking ball man, he's like whoa. And Michael Irvin has
a bit of that to them, and mis Smith talked
about that in the doc. He's just like as good
as I was at Troy, and Mike was the lifeline
of our team like that when he left and retired,
because when we had the broken neck and all that.
(12:19):
He's like the life of our team, which is fine.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And I'm not knocking his enthusiasm for his alma mana,
this and this football program and all that.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Stuff is great.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I just think that there is comes a time where
the players, those players deserve to have the spotlight right,
and it should be about them and the cameras should
be on them more so than former players and guys
who are like looking for.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
You said all that.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Ryan ain't listening to none of this man saying he
about be going crazy on the sidelines in southern Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, I'm not even with my name up there. I'm
not your name up there. Give you the press box
or whatever. And now you can't go crazy. I'm not
gonna be I can't get on all fours knowing I'm
not barking.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You can't bark sweating, I'm blaking tide. You can't do
all that. I'm not doing all you name in the
press box. After you, you gotta give us something.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
You got to run into a ref like a CD
lamb death to day running to him over that first
of dang, that's how I know the Cowboys season.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
But that was the omen right there. Ryan season is
a rap all right?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, and pretty simple.
Should former players like Michael Irvin? Is it too much
for them to be on the sidelines doing what he's doing?
Or do you do you embrace what he's done and
(13:51):
what he does at games?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Do you understand it? Or is there a boundaries?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
And the coach feels bad because if you tell Michael
he can't come anymore than you're the bad guy and
put the coach in a bad spot.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It goes on a local radio and says it, and
there exactly you can't then you're you're the bad guy. Oh,
how could you do that? You know what he did
for this program? Whatever? And then so you're in a
bad spot. You make the coach feel a certain kind
of way. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, it

(17:13):
Kevin Garnet. Pisses me off so bad whenever I mentioned this.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
I just match what mad Alright, alright, alright, roll call
back tomorrow, trash talker Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
All Right, Robert in Miami, you're Fox Sports Radio. What
you got, Robert, Hey.
Speaker 9 (17:43):
Fellas, how you guys doing.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Day?
Speaker 10 (17:46):
Man? You know I got to defend mikeel a little
bit here.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (17:50):
You know, it's a it's.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
A tradition that goes back, like to the eighties.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
Miami players being on the sidelines.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Mike's not the first guy to do it.
Speaker 11 (17:57):
It's been happening for a long long time.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
When he was when he was a player.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
I mean, he had Stanley Shakespeare and Eddie Brown and
people like that on.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
The sideline for him. So it goes back a long
long time.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
They definitely embraced the culture.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I get that, Robert, but the barking on the knees
and I just think, Robert, I hear you, it looks
like it's a lot and even I like after the game,
did you see like he's in the tunnel with the towel?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Like, where where the kids can they put the camera
on the kids? To put the camera on them? Right?
Who's actually playing? I wish we didn't lose him. Drew
in New Jersey, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up? Drew?
Speaker 11 (18:33):
Hey, you guys. I don't have a problem with that.
I feel like that's good for the fans. It shows
that you actually, even though you're an athlete, a lot
of these people are not as passions. It's still just passion.
But I want to know your thoughts on keep on
spend not know who Barry Sanders is. Did you hear
about that?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah? I did actually see that.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, the greatest, my favorite athlete of all time any sport.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
It's my favorite Apple. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I mean a lot of things were wrong with that. Obviously,
the color, the uniform, the number, none of it matched up.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So that was that crime. Yeah, that was really bad. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Dion in Texas, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
What's up, Dion?
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Hey, what's up? Guys.
Speaker 10 (19:13):
Hey, I'm at work too. I'm taking a quick break.
But it's always see a couple of brothers out there
working with me.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yes, yeah, get early in the morning.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
Early. But you know what, man, I think it's always
a positive thing when you have former athletes who come
back and inspire your young your youth and uh motivate
those guys uh at a big game. At the same time,
Michael Irvan never misses the opportunity to miss an opportunity.
This guy always find himself and controversial type of things,
(19:45):
whether it's good or bad. So you kind of have
a disdained taste in your mouth. So Mike Irvan, like
Jeroon said, maybe you're five minutes of fame is up
and let's let's let the spotlight be on the kids.
And you know, just showing at bit of class. Most
of the time, you're getting too old to be acting.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Like and you know, Dion, see that's what I'm saying,
Like you could you could have an impact.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
You could be around the kids if.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
You like to appreciate I appreciate you. But you saw
that in the tunnel way it just it just didn't end. Seriously,
he put in four quarters or hard work.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I mean he was soaking. He deserved that gatorade. Bad.
Don't do him like that, Roight, No, this is my thing.
Have all the fun go all in. We know that.
My only thing is.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I think there's a certain point you can kind of
go oh am, I making it about me got by
the way.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
I do believe he genuinely is all in. Like, I
don't think it's an act.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
I think he's one of those people who can't Like
if I'm there it's football being played, obviously, I'm connected
to the Cowboys. So if it's the Cowboys, obviously I'm
connected to the Kings. So if it's the case, I'm
all in. I think that's a real act for him,
Like he's that passionate about it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I don't doubt that he's passionate about the school.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Like, all right, hold on a little bit, maybe put
you in this week and some snacks, relaxed.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Just just drop back a little bit. Let's go back
to Robert in Miami because we had lost them. Robert,
you're in the couple of fire Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Good?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
You got The point is I'm not against former players
being a part of their school or whatever, but there's
a time and a place and and you don't want
to like overdo it. Like I just saw the video
inside the the Tunnel.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
It just seemed like it was like overdone.
Speaker 10 (21:33):
No, when I got cut off, I was gonna tell
you there. You know, it's a tradition in Miami, but
Mike is a special case because.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
That guy is just two energy all the time.
Speaker 10 (21:45):
What you guys said that that it's real, it's absolutely real.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, I don't even I don't even doubt it. I
don't even doubt it. But I'm just saying, it just
seems that the other kids who are there playing it
should be about them.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
That's all I'm saying, Robert, do you do you understand.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
What I'm Oh, no, listen, I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
But but but a lot of that also, it's the.
Speaker 10 (22:06):
Media kind of kind of pointing the camera at him.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
He's just there to support the kids.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well, if he's out there, he's going ballistic and he's
down there on all four last year market to come on, Robert,
They're not gonna they're gonna say, like, oh yeah, don't
put the camera on him.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
You gotta you guys, gotta go to you guys, gotta
go to the pregame tailgate and see the guy at
the pregame tailgate, and you'll get a sense for that's
just who he is.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
No, I.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Don't I don't think. I don't think he has any malice.
I don't think he has any bad intes. I don't
think he's going there they put the cameras on me.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I don't think. It's just more like a came here.
Just take it.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
There were in the National Championship Game. Okay, I'm with you.
We're in a big but no big, a CC something.
Come on, but somebody should just say, hey, let the kid.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Let the kids have their moment. Would you here like
doing all that? I guess the camera is going to
be focused on you. Some kid just made a great
play or he got an emotion his name and right
right that that that's all. It has nothing to do
with whether you love your school, how much you're really
pulling for your school, all that. I get all that,
but it just seems to me just a little over
(23:15):
the top.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
He knows it because he talked about so he does.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
He does the Cameron it is what it is show
with Mason Cameron, and they talked about it that you're
doing you you was wilding with the bark Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
They called him out.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
They're like that last today on the last when he
was doing the barking and all that, they were like,
come on, that was that was crazy.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Mike was crazy.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
He was like, I know, I just get it because
they were replaying Mike. They was like, you might've get
the pause that because he was arching his back. It
was a little wild. Michael was wilding a little bit,
all right. We got conversation to be had a boy
somebody who's retiring, and it made you think of some
other people that kind of rose the fame, like he
did me kill you that in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (23:54):

Magic City Monday and Uh, Rob, we got somebody who's retired.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Inn he from them.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I didn't even know he was still playing dangd. I
didn't know either, but dangdd he is retiring and that
is one Oh wow, I just realized we had the
same birthday. Now I have to speak favorably of him. Okay,
greatness is born on Wednsday, August twenty third. Jeremy Lynn
is calling it a career.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Uh, Jeremy Land, of course, we know Lynn Sanity, which
was just something you kind of had to be there for.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I know, I bought short seventy five percent off in
New York? Did you three weeks after all this stuff
was on the clearance?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Was it just like did it say his name on it?
Or is it just some New k like Lin Sanity
stuff like you know it did? Yeah, and then we're
all on sale like he had a great little run.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh no, I have no, dude, and his story is great,
just what he did for, you know, the Asian community.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
He talks about it.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
If you saw, I want to say it was the
documentary's called two Weeks or something. I can't remember. Maybe
it was fourteen Days or something like that. They talk
about it. I forgot the title of it. But yeah,
after I actually had a really solid career for a
guy who came in, you know, with no expectations, kind
of came out of surprise. And we know that that
run he had with the Knicks in twenty eleven into
twenty twelve season where he was just going crazy on
(25:26):
people games against the Lakers other people. Ended up averaging
fifteen a game that year, got him a bunch of money.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, was he Sports Illustrated twice and once weeks or
twice in three weeks.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I think it was twice in two weeks got him
a bunch of money as well.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Just made me think of fran You could jump in
on this, Chris Mary, if you want, just people who
had meteoric rises where like out of the blue, they
make a great play or two, or they do something
and then there all of a sudden they're kind of
on the spotlight in the sports world, you know, where
like you're like, man, look at this, like Jeremy because
Lin Sandity was in, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
It was crazy. For those who don't remember it, or
maybe you were a little younger.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Dude, it was insane because you saw it for a night,
then you saw it the next night. I know Kobe Bryant,
God bless it, Dad, he's gonna absolutely lock him down.
He's going crazy on the Lakers, dropping twenty thirty points
on them, and it was just this crazy run where
he was so hot, he was feeling and his team
was pushing it to the point, you know, allegedly rumors
that Mellow was feeling some type of way like hold on,
(26:25):
I'm supposed to be mister nick and y'all over here
loving yeah, because he was heard right, Milo was out
and everybody was loving insanity got him playing.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
The whole team was playing well. So it just made
me think any other.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Meteoric rises like that where somebody kind of comes in
and and out the blue becomes a hot thing, And
maybe they didn't, it didn't last, but it was hot.
Like what was the running back that did that for
the Browns? A few years he was on the Madden
cover Peyton Hillis. Peyton Hillis was like, whoa, Okay, it's
(26:57):
about to be you know, Mike Austin running back in
the league. Okay, And I heard Peyton Hillis. Since got
on the Madden cover, way he heard from him? Since Ryan,
where's your Peyton Peyton Hillis? Hillis saw Jersey? You still
got it?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I wish I did? Yeah, that's gone?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Who else was I was trying to think of somebody
that came out of nowhere.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
Came out of nowhere, was hot for a minute, and
then kind of just oh, faded away.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
There's one example with the Dodgers, like a decade or
so ago. You might remember Louis Cruz. Remember when he
came on at the end of the season. The Dodgers
needed a third baseman. They had had a handful of injuries,
and then Luis Cruz kind of came up out of nowhere.
He was a journeyman, minor.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Leaguer and got a hitting.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Yeah, for like two months, he went on a terror
and it was fantastic, and the fans were rallying behind him.
Because this is also a time where things weren't going
too well for the Dodgers as.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
A whole obvious one.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Of course, but it's because like Cruise like died off
instantly going into next season, they're like, oh, we've got
we've got our.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Third right and Peak had Peak had a few years.
Let's not make it like he.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Know what I'm saying, Jeremy Lynn had a few he
played a long time what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
But if you look at Puig, like Pig was a
really good player right Ryan for like four or five.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Year is you thought he was gonna be that guy
and he kind of just he had other issues. I think,
yeah he did, yeah, but but he was tremendous. Like
his throwing arm.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I still think, man, he one of the throws I've
seen in baseball where he's in foul territory down the
left field line and he threw a guy out the plate.
I don't know if you remember that, dude, you know
what I'm talking about. It was the most unbelievable throw
on the fly, didn't bounce.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
I was at his major league debut and in that game,
the game ended with a double play where Puig caught
the ball on the warning track and on his back
foot threw it to first base to double up the runner.
It was incredible, and that's how the game that was his.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
I remember him are maddening because they're like people see there, like.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Man, I remember writing a column.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Anti Puegue being on the All Star team because he
had just played and they were trying to get him
on the All Star team because he caught fire like
from Jump Street, and I was like, it's just too premature,
Like they just didn't have enough. You know what I mean,
body of work to be an All star. Yeah, but
but he was. He was one of those guys.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
He was special.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Yeah, there's just a handful of people, I mean, and
what he doesn't count because the meetwork rises there. But
then he actually has to stay in success. So but
he doesn't have apples apples and a Jeremy Lynn. But
Kurt Warner, I mean, you talked about coming out the blue,
undrafted back and groceries.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
All a sudden, he's Hall of fame. He's a Hall
of fame. But he did he didn't. He didn't. He
came out of nowhere, but he was definitely he wasn't.
He didn't.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
He didn't have a Jeremy Lynn there, and they just
became like what he was, which is a backup, backup player. Yeah,
ended up being a Laker, being a whole bunch of
teams too. Hey man, it's made some good money. Shoot,
oh you can When he came, we play at Harvard, right?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Was it Harvard? One of them? Harvard? Yeah, it might
be Harvard. You think you're right.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I think it's Harvard. He played, He played at Harvard.
That's what made the story. He played at hard Am
I right? About that or no, I think you are right? Yeah,
college Harvard, yep, how Harvard?
Speaker 11 (30:21):
Right?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Harvard Harvard, yeah yeah yeah, and uh you know so
that IVY League Asian right.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You add all those things together, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And even Sports Illustrated they were trying to make some
money off off the magazine because they put him on
the cover twice. I don't even think. I don't know,
we have to look it up. Michael Jordan was never
on the cover back to back weeks, you know what
I mean? Like like for somebody to be on the
Sports Illustrated cover at that time back to back weeks
was unheard of.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Over I'm gonna throw a number out Jeremy Lynn's total
salary earnings.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
What do you think over under? Make a number here?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Fifty five million? Under Ryan over under fifty five million.
I'll go over sixty five million. That's crazy. That's that's
that's with sugar enough. That's crazy. I sixty five million.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
There was a look, look at this run he had.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
He was making eleven and a half twelve thirteen million
dollars from the nets in the Hawks. That's after he
got that money from the Uh tell them what you
just pointed at? Did you see that?
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Ryan?
Speaker 3 (31:42):
The first drive seven plays eighty three yards? Yep. After that,
seventeen plays they gained twenty yards on seventeen plays.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Talking about the Tar Hills by the way, sorry, average
at about one point one yards per play.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
That's that's off. And there we are. It is twenty
to what seven is up? The score? Twenty seven? Yeah,
twenty two. Dang, Jeremy Lynn won? He won yo?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh yeah, sixty five million, sixty five even if you
have right half of that because taxes agent, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (32:17):
He's smart.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, I mean you got you got thirty five right,
thirty some millions.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
And the craziest party's gonna walk away being able to
be like.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
My career average. Career average is almost twelve, twelve and four.
That's a legit. Twelve and four is like, that's real.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
But he was a good player, I mean, just wasn't
what we saw those two. He you thought it's gonna
be an all star.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
If you watched those two, if you fail from ours
and watched him in New York for them two three weeks,
well you're like, oh, he was about to be the
next one of them ones.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Steve Nash is he's up next?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
All right?

That was the longest we both ever done. For a minute.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Alright, let's do uh, let's say Wayne in Virginia, you're the.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Last call here on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Wayne?
Speaker 8 (34:07):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
How are you.
Speaker 8 (34:12):
Another damn paradise man? I can't complain. I wanted to
let y'all know. It's okay for Bill Belichick, right, he's
a great coach. We can never doubt that. So he's
gonna lose this game and probably have a bad season.
But don't forget. Tom Brady's son is eighteen. Jack Brady
is eighteen years old, so he'll have his rescue wagon
on the way soon.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Oh my goodness, man, it all now.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Wayne started laughing right then he said laughing in the
middle of it. Thanks Wayne, appreciate it. Let's squeeze in
one more last call. We're feeling good on this Labor day.
How about Frank in Boston. You're on the couple of
Fox Sports Radio. You are the last call.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
What's up? Frank?
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Oh yeah, tonight, bro. So I go way way back
with the Celtics, and there was a guy who you
reminded me when you were talking about Jeremy Lynn, also
a local guy from Harvard, the Baltimore Bullets. I think
they were still the Bullets back then. Okay, it was
like maybe it might have even been like the unseld years.
(35:15):
And they played, they knocked out the Celtics in the
Eastern Conference playoffs, and this guy named Nick Witherspoon absolutely
dominated John Halichik, an all time great ballplayer. Nick Witherspoon
was unbelievable that series. Halichick could not do anything against
(35:36):
this guy. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Shot out to him and he fell off and then
he lost that. Yeah, that was it right then?
Speaker 9 (35:47):
Then then nothing, nothing before and nothing after. He came
off the bench and he like solved the problem of
Halicheck that most teams couldn't solve.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
You know what that reminds me of, Frank, reminds me
of another guy like that, Matthew Delavadova.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Yeah, that's another guy. You know, guy how you know?
Speaker 4 (36:05):
And and and then you just you're like, Okay, had
a decent running in the finals, and you know, it
looks like it'd be a scrapper playing and.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Just yeah, he had Lebron locked up.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Matt Matt Flynn yep, one game, six touchdowns, a bunch
of money over the summer.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
You like, man, his life is changed.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Wait, Matt Flynn was definitely seen him since he destroyed
the line.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Did he play after that? Do you know? You don't
sure he popped in the game.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I don't. I don't know. After he left Seattle, I
don't remember Matt. Maybe he did hold a clipboard with somebody.
I've not seen Matt Flynn ever since. I don't know
if he's doing sideline report now and if he's played
by color analysts.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I don't know if he's a high school coach. I've
not seen Matt Flynn since.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Who else is out there to him at the bank
because he got a lot of money from Seattle or
I got one.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
But he had a few seasons, so he doesn't quite count.
But maybe he wanted more. Dante Colepepper is he did
he have a little success? They were like that was
that team that was fifteen and one.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
You remember that that was Black America's team.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
They had everybody. Dennis Green was the coach.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
They had a black quarterback, Dante Colepepper, first, Carter Randy
Munt seriously, and that team was loaded up America. That
was Black America's team. Black America's team.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Now, I don't know if there is one, but I
remember back the Ravens. I think if all the Black
America had to come to agreement.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Like, I know you might be a Buccaneers fan of
this fan, I think I think Black Americans if we
had a delegation and we all came together, I think
he'd be.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
So Matt Flynn, are you ready? So you talked about
the six touchdown game, which was a big one. How
many touchdowns you think he finished with in his career? Unbelievab?
So the six were his first time go so he
had six? He had six against the Lions in that
game twenty eleven. Yeah, he was on a team from
twenty oh and go eight a little more than that. Well,
(37:52):
seventeen seventeen and threw when did he throw more? Seventeen
and eleven?
Speaker 3 (38:00):
He got all basically a third of his in one game.
Is that is that unbelieved?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Made crazy money, he got paid. But but the stats,
he had no stats. I'm looking at him right now.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
It's overreaction. Did the Seahawks just do it again with
Sam Darnold.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
There's a good question right there.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
See a guy having good now his was at least
a whole year, not just you know, a game, but
man not able to pay him as.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Well, unbelievable. Yep. Yeah, and that was with the Lions.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
He had six touchdowns that year in that game, the
last game of the year. Six touchdowns enough and that
was enough for them to seen enough. I was trying
to remember what the what the bag was, but he
made a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
He was like thirty something guaranteed back then.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Yeah, that's what I feel like it was. Yeah, Like
he was thirty thirty six guaranteed for him. He's like,
who is this, dude, Welcome back? Man, got to do radio?
Speaker 8 (38:59):
Man?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You you didn't you didn't forget good energy.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah, we will be back and I'm going to be
around and for the rest of the year and the
Super Bowl and yeah, Lions versus I'm still thinking, yeah,
we're coming up to that Lions. But against the Lions
in Game one, I'll tell you that that.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Come on, we're starting already. I'm telling you that
