Speaker 1 (01:28):
Coming up in twenty eight minutes, Brentley Weisman, the former
NFL scout with the Chargers, so he'll join us talk
some football, some topics stuff scouting of course, and all
the other stuff that's going on. And last Call in
case you couldn't get in earlier in the show, you
have a chance to jump in on last Call, which

(01:49):
is an interesting little topic we'll be talking about as well.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Steve Smith, the former oh yeah football wide receiver.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, some news going on in this world. But Rob
G so already we got conflicting reports.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
All that was kind of confusing.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
First story we saw was Eagles ain't going to the
White House. Okay, that made sense to me. Then the
White House said, will invite the Eagles to the White House.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yet then Adam Schefter, Rob G said, what, Well, it
wasn't just Adam Sheffer. You know all this works, you know,
the sausage gets made in this America. We like Adam Schefter,
we like Albert Breer, we like Ian Rappaport. They report
what they are told, so all at the same time,
an Eagle source texted these guys and here's the exact quote,

(02:36):
and Albert Brier was honest about it. Team source from
the Eagles just texted me quote. We would be honored
to visit the White House. It's one of the things
we had to look forward to doing, and we look
forward to receiving the invitation, which means if Donald Trump
extends the invite.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Eagles are going to the White House. And here's Tellvin
what we want to talk about.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
We want to hear from people to eight seven so
of a ninety nine on Fox because this is one
of those topics.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, we had one.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, is there is there an obligation to go to
the White House? Do you respect the office or do
you respect the person that's in office? And that's where
it breaks down. Some people say regard it doesn't matter
who's the president. He's the president and you should respect that.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Other people say, no, if I can't be honest, look
eye to eye and feel good about the situation, I
don't want to be involved. It's not the end of
the world. You don't have to go. I don't believe
people have to go anywhere you should want to go.
If it's a if it's an honor, if it's something
that you feel really good about, there would be there

(03:46):
were people didn't go to Obama. That okay, people don't
talk about that. They don't remember. There are former professional
athletes who didn't go to the White House because Barack
Obama was in the White House. So I don't understand
if there was somebody if Jalen Hurts, and I'm just
throwing his name out, Jalen Hurts hasn't said anything. I'm

(04:07):
not putting words in his mouth. If he said, I'd
rather not thank you for the invite.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I appreciate it, but I'd rather not. Would I be
mad at him? No?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I think everybody has a right. That's what makes this
country supposedly special, is that we have the right to
choose and decide what it is we want to do.
If we want to burn an American flag on the
steps of a courthouse, you're protected. Whether we think it's

(04:38):
disgraceful or not, you're protected. So if you can do that,
and you could talk about the government or the president
or whatever, and the police don't show up to your
house to put you in prison for forty years, then
my god, yes, you can also say thank you, but no,
thank you don't have to be disrespectful.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
I'd rather not come. Yep, that's where I'm at. I'm
just so so check this out. Rob the lot or
the goat, the low the luckiest of all time, or
the goat as ninety nine percent of people, No.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Chris, and I call you Chris because he says the
same thing. It ain't ninety nine percent.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
There's plenty of people all right now, seriously, my bad
ninety nine point nine percent? Okay, whatever, you're right? Can
you see this saying out that chair falls on you again?
Whatever the goat, the loaw. Tom Brady didn't go in
twenty fifteen to see President Obama and Robert Kraft. It

(05:42):
was public knowledge that he had donated a million dollars
to now president would become President Trump, now President Trump
again his uh campaign. Remember what was in the locker
of Tom Brady was he was getting changed.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
While the you know, the he didn't know how I
got to talk about it.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Tom Brady, you know the else he might be the
goat of amnesia. Boy, Tom Brady, don't be remembering nothing.
You know, I don't remember how my hat gear, I
don't remember old boy's number.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I was texting it even do you.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Remember doing when theneeling went down and everything. He was like, oh,
I really don't know what's happened. I don't even know
what crazy your teammates, Neil, there were guys. You have
no idea.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
So Tom got that old allegedly Jordan Republicans buy his shoes,
two of them. His might even be more blatant because
he's got a hat that said make America great again.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
That's his choice.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
And then him, then him and now his ex wife
Grouselle went out of a way to say that they
weren't supporting him.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Remember that, right, right, right?

Speaker 5 (06:40):
So so my point is Tom Brady, Oh, he had
a family obligation. Okay, cool, Yeah, we saw the maca hat.
You don't gun, but guess what, that's his choice. Robert
Kraft donates a million dollars. He didn't want to show
up to the when Obama was there as well. So
this has been happening prior to President Trump picked the administration,
whether it be you know, twenty sixteen or current one.

(07:01):
This has happened before. We've seen Craig Hodges go and
where certainly people make protests of this, and that's.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
The beauty of George Bush a letter. He gave George
Bush a letter.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
He was winning dashikin the garb the Islam. So this
has happened. This is also the beauty. You can be aggravated,
you can be annoyed, you can disagree. That is literally
part of the beauty of America's We all have rights,
we all have freedoms, we all have liberties. We all
should have all these rights and liberties and freedoms. Inequality.

(07:30):
That's what many folks still fight for and that is
their prerogative. And to me, it shouldn't be Remember when
the Eagles in twenty eighteen, we're gonna go, well, they
rescinded the invitation because they got when that the Eagles
didn't want to come. So to me, I believe the administration,
the office shouldn't be petty, because the office or the
administration should be we understand your rights, your privilege, your freedoms.

(07:55):
We're gonna extended invitation to everybody, hockey, MLB, baseball, football,
college teams. That's great. Don't want to come, that's fine.
We don't take it personally. That is exactly why we fight.
That is exactly what we protect your freedoms. It shouldn't
be uninviting and rescinding invitations and feelings, Patty Eddy, because
you're supposed to be above any of that.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Because it's when you hear soldiers say, I may not.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Agree with what Colin Kaepernick was doing, but I literally
fight for his freedom to simply do that. When I
fight for your freedoms, it isn't for your freedoms for
me to agree with everything. It isn't your freedoms to good.
You better align with everything. I believe people don't understand
that when I fight for your freedom, it's literally for
you to be able to do what you don't want
to do. And in some cases it's not vote and

(08:38):
in some cases is vote left for right or independent.
In some cases it's to neeel. In some cases it's
to stand loud and proud holding the flag. That is
literally your right right to freedom and your right to
burn a flag. So to me, to the whole the administration,
White House playing games where understand we're not invite, well,
we're gonna invite, Well, we're gonna wait to see how
they feel what they said.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Tell you what that's me. Don't like that, that's petty.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
You're supposed to stand on the freedoms and the uh
the you know, the rights that Americans have. We're extended
off for as we do the every team that wins
the championship, come on out. We love to have you.
We got McDonald's for you, like we gave the one
college team. Come on out. If you choose not to,
no love loss, we appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
But here here's the other thing. And this is what
I'm gonna tell you.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
They probably got a call on all speculation the Eagles, okay,
from from the Commissioner's office or whatever, because you know,
Donald Trump is on a revenge tour and the NFL
is in his sights, right, Like remember they didn't allow
him to buy the Buffalo Bills. He wasn't didn't qualify
the money wise, they wanted no part of him.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
So he's doing the whole Kaepernick and right and all that.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Right, he always has, you know, uh, vendetta against the NFL.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
You don't forget.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
So that's why I'm saying they probably got a call
to be like just do not you know what I mean,
just not put that out for the boy, you know
what I mean, Because we don't we don't want to
have to go deal with the other stuff that's gonna come.
He's gonna be saying this and that and then try
to go after the NFL and all that, because that's
what that's what I think it is. I think because
he knows that like people would rather not come and

(10:12):
he doesn't want to be embarrassed that they.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
Basically stick point because it's personal for him, as are
many things. And like we said, the Vendetta are holding
things revenge to her. Whereas other people may say, man,
that's their right, it's I.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Don't agree with.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
I don't remember Obama making a big deal of people
to sobs because they want to kneel and they're supposed
to be this and fighting with players like you know,
we we live that in twenty sixteen, seventeen eighteen, from
the Kaepernick situation to calling out Lebron, calling out Steph
calling out the to the point Rob's remember it went
from Jerry Jones, I ain't kneeling, No cowboys gonna kneel.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
We ain't having that. I'm the owner. They all kneel down.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Even Jerry Jones kneeling, and technically they did it before
the national anthem, so they didn't deal to the anthem,
but Jerry Jones even took a knee and then by
the way the intern Internet, they put a dashiki on
him and it was hilarious. But so my point is,
who was the other one who did the same thing
with Pelosi?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
No, no, no, ray Lewis remember that way him and Kimmis
Shannon got into it over yep, because he wound up
and then said he wasn't kneeling, he was praying.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, remember that. I do remember that. I think they
had have fallen out after that if you remember. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
But the whole point is, you're right. Roger Goodell's probably like, look, please, please,
let's not relive this again. We've gotten past it. And
we know when you say something Jalen Hurts comes out
or the owner of the uh, the Eagles. We know
he's been very vocal. He supports a lot of liberal
and progressive ideals. He donated money to the Biden administration

(11:43):
the Obama administration is no secret, so we know he's
very much uh you know, a left winged person. So
if he comes out and says something, you know what
I mean, This is how it starts.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
You haven't heard from him, and you know how it
goes you.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Start talking, and especially because he's you know, he's more
in bolden because this is his last administration allegedly, where
now what I got to lose? I don't have to
play the game. I never played the game. I really
don't have to play the game. He being President Trump.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Well, the only thing is the midterms. Yeah, that's the
only thing.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
And I said his last allegedly because he's already talking
about trying to change some things.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know that. Does you know he's almost eighty Does
he do that?

Speaker 5 (12:22):
What are you gonna say, pork chop away? He's trying
to change things where you can run again. And mind you,
the bill, by the way, the bill is not that
you can get another term. You have to be the
sitting president to get another third term. Meaning everybody went, oh,
so Obama or a Biden or somebody else can get
another term.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
No, you have to be currently sitting. Is the bill
currently that's up? Dude? How rigg do you have to
be to do that? I'm just throwing it out there.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Eight Report the News ninety nine on Fox eight seven
seven nine nine six sixty three six.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
What's more likely Trump gets a third term. Or Rob
Parker actually retires in fools, I'm I'm.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Going Trump Trump, No, no, No, it has to go through No.
What's more likely to happen? I know, but it Loki
has to go? Okay, So I'm asking.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
You what's more likely to happen Trump's third term or
Rob actually retires.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I have to go with the Orange man. Nobody believes
you don't have to go with the Orange Rob. Yeah,
I think whatever?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
All right, Rob g all right, assuming they get the
get invited, should the Eagles feel obligated to visit the
White House? Where are you on that? Eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. We'll continue this conversation next with you.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Do you have to go? Do you have to respect
the office?

Egos with mixed reviews.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Are they going? But right now the.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Latest report is that they have not been invited yet
and they would be honored to go to the White House.
But we know in history they didn't go twenty eighteen
and the other times players haven't haven't gone.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Is that an issue?

Speaker 5 (14:43):
Are you obligated to go to the White House if
your team wins and you're invited? Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox Who we got Alice in Pittsburgh. You're
on the couple Fox Sports Radio. What's up Alice?

Speaker 6 (14:54):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Guys, how are you well? Thank you?

Speaker 7 (14:57):
I'm on my way home from Marc.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Listen to you. Yes, it's good to hear your voice.
We appreciate you.

Speaker 7 (15:03):
Nice to hear your voice. I always like listening to you, folks.
I just feel like in the past it was always
a given that whatever team won, automatically they were invited
went to.

Speaker 8 (15:13):
The White House.

Speaker 7 (15:14):
Since Trump was elected the last term, that's when it
started to be questionable whether teams wanted to go or not.
Last team college team, I remember going with Georgia where
they had their McDonald cheeseburgers, and right, right right, I
don't think they should.

Speaker 8 (15:28):
Be obligated to go.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
If they feel very strongly about it, they turn it down.
I don't I personally, I'm trying.

Speaker 8 (15:34):
To see both sides of it.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
If I were invited to go to the White House
just because it was a white House, I would probably go.
The way the political climate is and the way people
feel about Trump in general, I think that they you know,
there's a chance that they won't go, and some of
the team may decide to go and some and.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Then it looks weird, right it does.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Can you imagine, Alison, I'm just saying this, right, if
you had the Eagles and all the white players went
and all the black players didn't go, what would that do?

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Or I would now it would.

Speaker 7 (16:07):
Be we have to decide to go or not go right,
and I would appreciate either way. I would understand that
because I'm seventy and I just remember at a time
when you automatically would go you know, it was it
to me.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Alice, Thanks, Alt's called that's a very damning sounds like
I'm not gonna lie, She says, seventy.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
I was blown away.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Okay, Alice, whatever you're doing sounding right, I think that's
very damning. Though Rob can get another call.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Just that.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
To her point, historically everybody went Now, that says a lot,
is what I'm.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Saying, no doubt. Chris in Syracuse. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Chris?

Speaker 9 (16:42):
Yeah, Hi, guys, very love this show.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
I appreciate you every night. Thank you.

Speaker 9 (16:47):
I think what the lady said before me was right on.
I think it's a political issue, know, and I think
with the type people that are in the White House,
I questioned their integrity about race relations, and I think
football players they know what's going on and they're I
think football players are some of the greatest ambassadors to
race relations we have in this country. And I probed

(17:09):
them whatever the decision they make, and good for them.
But I realized that come on, we gotta check our reality.
And it's not a good time right now. I don't
think in RelA relations with the type of people out
in the country.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Well, Chris, no doubt, Chili Tim in Atlanta, you're on
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
What's up, Tim?

Speaker 6 (17:31):
What a rob of Telvin doing good?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Chili?

Speaker 8 (17:36):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (17:37):
You know, well, I'm retiring now, so I just speak
my mind. But it's buddy. I was telling about like
the NFL is king because you remember when they had
the common Kaeperneck thing, and you know, African American people said, well,
you don't give them a chance of playing, We're going
to boycott, and they didn't boycott. And then after the
George Floyd ding and NFL you know, starting to kind

(17:59):
of get until where they had the an racism and
they did the other things and like you know, they
had to, they still did the national Negro anthem, you know,
and things like that, and people you know who may
be against the d stuff, but they still was football.
So my point is football is team and whatever Trump
does does not do nothing's going to affect. And you

(18:22):
have got people like Netflix and everyone trying to get
in on this thing, like it's an unstoppable training right now.
So basically the NFL can basically do whatever they want.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, but he also does not have to.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Bow down to a guy who didn't have the finances
to buy the team in the first place. So I
just think if if they don't want to go, they
shouldn't be obligated to go. I don't think the NFL
should bow down to whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Like you know, no, I agree, and I'm just saying
I think when I said that, they probably got a
call because it's just a pr night.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
That's you know, if you don't have to go through
the drama. Let let's not go through the drama going on.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Did they send the invite We're not going before anything
is finalized. Let's let's eliminate that. Let's wait to see
what happens. And they said the right thing. Hey, you know,
like we've been honored to get an invite.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Robie, just quickly before we get Steve the sayer here,
if you think that the Eagle.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Should have the option to go, yes or no, that's
personal choice. Whatever. Do you feel that the White.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
House should have the option whether or not to extend
the invitation?

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yes, they could do whatever they want. It just it
just became a tradition. But if they didn't want to,
I don't. I don't think that everybody has to go.
Maybe it's an outdated tradition, Maybe maybe we don't need it, maybe.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Something, you know what I mean, that's something to consider.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
I at one time thought that they should stop with
the national anthem at at sporting events. Is we don't
do that at anything else, rob g. You don't come
to work nobody else. And as a sports writer covered
a million games, I stand and I've done it for
forty years, right, no nobody else. And and it happened

(20:02):
during baseball during the wartime to try to get some
sort of you know exactly, And that's really where it
came from.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
And and this and the sports has become extraordinarily political
and patriotic, uh to the in the NFL kind of
faked it. Remember they were getting paid by the military,
but they act like it was out of the kindness
of their heart.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
That was probably the worst they got exposed for that.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
They were milking all the heartwarm welcome homes and all
that because they were getting paid for it.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
How bad is that? See in that? Yeah, So that's
why I don't fall for.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Can we squeeze one more and afford to Sega, Uh,
Edgar and san Antonio, you're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Turn your radio down.

Speaker 10 (20:42):
It's okay.

Speaker 8 (20:43):
You're on my speakerphone on the radio.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
That's why.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
Okay, okay, what's up.

Speaker 10 (20:49):
I'm here to talk about. I think there's a couple
of different decisions here. One is does the organization except
that invited it's extended. The other is the individuals. I
would find it difficult to attend as an individual, even
if the organization accepted it, because if you worked as
hard as I did to try to keep that election

(21:11):
from going the way it did and failed because of
all the things that it stands for, I couldn't honestly
stand next to that gentleman. And I don't I don't
even say his name next to that gentleman and uh
and and pretend much. I think people feel about the
the the immaturity that he brings to the office. Because

(21:32):
you just said that, You just said they they had
invited him and were sitting to the invite. That's the
act of a toddler, not the active the president of
the United States. And I think it's a tradition that
should continue. The invite should go off automatically.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
But people have a right to come.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
People have a right to come or not absolutely, and.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
You shouldn't be down if you don't, right, you shouldn't
be down if you decide.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Because I'm not a person.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
I don't remember Obama down making a stink about Tom
Brady not coming.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Rob g do you remember that. I don't remember him
going on, how dare he disrespect the offense of the president?
Different rules to different people, so I don't.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
I don't. He couldn't wear a tan suit. No, I'm
gonna leave that alone.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
I remember the ten didn't wear a tan suit either word,
he's a criminal, because all right, don't get me started.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
That was the best suit ever though you can't even
that was a clean suit. Yeah, it was springtime. It
looked good there bringing the kids in oval off. All right,

Speaker 3 (22:57):
What's happening.

Speaker 9 (23:00):
Right?

Speaker 8 (23:00):
Thanks for having me. You know, I was just hearing
you guys talked about Canada. I went to Vancouver for
the first time two years ago. It was a lot
of fun, good city over there.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, I haven't been to Vancouver, which is not too
far from Seattle.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Good thing when I hear very good things about I
gotta find you know, you want to find some new
and different places, right. You can't just Miami, La Vegas.
You got to mix it.

Speaker 8 (23:21):
Up, no doubt, God to mix it up, to mix
it up, all.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Right, Brentley, thank you for being here. But I saw
some NFL. It saw some combine. So Rob and I
talked a little bit ago early in the show. If
I had brought this up four months ago, give or take,
Shador Sanders, was you know top five pick, one of
one of the first two quarterbacks ago and it was
kind of a given.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Did he do something that we missed something? How did
he hurt this?

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Where we have now scouts are coming out anonymously saying
he shouldn't even be drafted. We had we literally had
one on our show that said I wouldn't draft him
at all.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
We had that on our show.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
We had another scout you know you read, saying he's
out of the first round when all he did was
produce forties thirty seven touchdowns he won in high school,
one at Jackson State, one at Colorado.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
What are we missing?

Speaker 8 (24:08):
Well, look, I think right now this in this class,
it's just not a really sexy quarterback class. Not a
ton of hype around this year's class. That's what we're
seeing is we're trying to We're seeing people you know,
in the media and and scouts look for ways to
kind of keep things going. They're trying to find things

(24:28):
that are are really just not there with Chador just
they can talk about it under no circumstance that Chador
do anything during the season, you know, throughout this kind
of pre draft process to hurt it stock right, that
all of that is just people manufacturing narratives to help,
you know, drive whatever they're trying to. You know, Land,

(24:51):
I don't. I don't know where it's coming from. Chador.
I'm not the biggest fan of store at Middaly. I
think he's, you know, certainly worth a first round pick.
I think he has a lower level starting quarterback talent
in the NFL, and you put some good players around him,
he can succeed. Do I think he's a franchise altering

(25:15):
level talent. No, But the disrespect and the slander that
Door has been catching over the past few weeks is
really puzzling. I mean, you have folks coming at the
woodwork talking about Tyler Shuck from Louisville now being dropped
ahead of Sugar Sanders when all we saw last year

(25:38):
was Shad Door line up the scoreboard and make all
kinds of ridiculous grows. So I think right now we're
just seeing guys, you know, look to kind of just
hurt Schador stock for whatever reason, but really trying to
just kind of derive whatever narrative they're trying to get across.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Brightley, let me ask you about about the combine the
Scouts goal they played college football. You have tape, you've
watched them, you've gone to games live to see the.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Guy play and all the other stuff.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
What what does the combine do other than for somebody
who maybe wasn't that good in college who you get
another look at, Like for somebody who maybe doesn't rank
that high, maybe that helps them.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
But if you've played well at a high.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Level and during your college career, I don't see how
that helps you at all.

Speaker 8 (26:26):
Yeah, you know, so the combine really, I mean there's
two sides of the combine. Right, there's what you see
on TV with all the testing, the forty the kind
of on field drills, and then there's all the stuff
that happens off TV, And that's the meetings. That's the medical,
that's the kind of one on one interviews with the teams,
and so all of that is really really important no

(26:48):
matter which player you are, you know what I mean,
you have to go meet with the coaches, you.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Have to go meet right, the meetings. I get that, Yep,
I got that.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
And so but in terms of you know, on the
field and kind of where player in my be able
to help or hurt themselves, I think we're up to
your point. You know, there is a certain level of
athlete in prospects to where the combine might do only
harm to them, right Like, for example, Optil Carter, I
think I just saw today he's opting out of the combine,

(27:18):
And same with Ashton Jens and both of those prospects.
In my eyes, they shouldn't do a bang thing in Indianapolis.
You know, their tape really speaks for itself. We know
they're bleach hit prospects. We know they're easily you know,
to the top five players in this class. The four
player like and this is a good example, Will Johnson,
the corner out of Michigan. His tape to me speaks

(27:42):
where he's a high end NFL corner all day long. However,
what also came up on tape is you see receivers
pouring away from him down the field, so you question
his deep speach, how fast these Well, if he comes
out and runs a strong forty, you know this Sunday
in the combine, we're talking about a player who's being

(28:02):
predicted somewhere between that pick fifteen to pick twenty. Here
the four four rob he's going top five, he's going
top seven, And so I do think you know, this
is obviously a case by case basis, but you know,
there is a lot of opportunity for players really help
themselves depending on how they test.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Britley Weisman former NFL Scott with the Chargers are guests
on the ac Cup of Robin kelvin Magic City Monday.
Let me ask you this just stay of the combine.
Somebody who's going to be a dB in the combine
Travis Hunter? Uh? Is that where you have wanted them
to see? If you're a scout, are you saying, man,
I would love to see him play receiver? Like, how
are people handling this guy who's so dynamic on both
sides of the ball.

Speaker 8 (28:43):
Yeah, this is one of the more fascinating scouting kind
of just questions and really overall kind of just storylines
that I've seen over the past few years, because Travis
Hunter truly is Italy at both physicians, and it's just
really a matter of kind of how you value you
receiver versus how you value corner. I'll say, for me,

(29:05):
I would actually have him play receiver and receiver only.
I know that's definitely not the popular answer.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Now, Now let me ask you why, why is that?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
From the standpoint, we just saw Sho Hail Tari who
for years they never let anybody pitch, and you know,
and be a hitter as well, and that is guy's
the biggest thing going, you know in baseball. Why not
give him a chance, right like, to just see if
he could pull it off, it could be a marvel
in the NFL. Now, if he can't, or he decides

(29:37):
he doesn't want to do it, or he struggles on
one half of you decide no, it didn't work, why
can't he at least try.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
That's what I don't understand.

Speaker 8 (29:45):
He can try theoretically. I just feel like it is
such it is going to be such a challenge. I mean,
this is a seventeen game NFL season, you know, playing
both ways is just look, he did it in college
and he won the heis it should be. It was
truly remarkable to see. But with that said, I mean,
he's in his sophomore season, he dealt with injuries at Colorado.

(30:08):
He's just not He's up the biggest, most durable player.
I hate so jeopardizing put him at risk because he
is such a unique talent. But yeah, I mean I
don't know there's necessarily harm and experimenting and then just
trying to see if they can do both sides. But
there is some risk to that with potential injury and

(30:29):
you know, conditioning and things of that nature. But for me,
you know, I just look.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
At his game.

Speaker 8 (30:35):
You have Washington, Colorado. He is so dynamic with the
football in his hands, so explosive, and I think, you know,
he's only going to get better at receiver because I mean,
at the end of the day, he really won with
just his straight up speed and quickness and ability to
play the ball in the air. He's not that a

(30:56):
good route runner really right now. He is not a
receiver who is very nuanced and can set up defenders.
Those are all things I think he can get coached
up on if he dedicates most of his time to
playing receiver and really kind of build up that skill
setord to me, I mean, he has top five receiver

(31:17):
upside in the NFL, and you know, as we've seen
in this league, ge could pass in the league, and
good offense beats good defense one hundred percent of the time.
And so I'd rather just take a Pro Bowl receiver
rather than trying to figure out, you know, hey, is
he a corner and give him right, okay to snatch,
but I just think he can be more impactful as

(31:38):
a receiver. And that's around with flame.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
He is Brentley Weismith. Thank you man, appreciate us.

Speaker 8 (31:44):
Yes, thank you guys.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
No prop hey have the last call if you've been
trying to get in a seven seven ninety nine on

Speaker 3 (32:38):
So it's time out for last call. Come yes, all right,
last call? Who we got rap? Let's do it?

Speaker 2 (32:54):
David and Idaho?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Hey, are you living your own private Idaho? David, Let's
call all the odd couple? Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 11 (33:03):
Hey, I was just wondering. I'm really into sports, but
I'm not athletic enough to go pro in sports, and
so I've always been interested in the sports radio industry,
and I just wanted to know how to get into
the sports radio station industry and do what you guys do.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (33:18):
I talked to two the right people to have these
conversations we love, especially not being.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Able to get into pro sports. Both of us. Yeah, well, yeah,
you ain't lying.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
I'm about thirteen when I realized that one of my
buddies laughed at me when we get to the NBA.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
He just started dying and I was like, wait, what.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
But David, if there's a sports station near you right
or something in your town or in your area, like
try to freelance or try to intern whatever, and just
say I want to come and learn. Can you teach
me like you'd be surprised at some small stations where
they're looking for people who can help out, and maybe

(33:53):
you could put in a few hours, not work full
time or anything, but you know, put in ten hours
or a few hours. Are you in a high school?
I say college?

Speaker 3 (34:01):
What's your Where are you at right now?

Speaker 11 (34:03):
I'm a junior in high school. Okay, I just I
don't want to work in office job when I get
at high school.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
No, I hear you.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
So you what you should do is find out stations
near you. Pick up the phone and call and has
to speak to the general manager whoever's running the station,
and say you're interested in radio, you would love to
learn and intern and come in and find out about radio.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
Here's the key part to what Rob just said, David.
He said radio. He didn't say it had to be
sports and again because most of the time they're conglomerates,
meaning it's a bunch of clusters, a bunch of stations
in one building. So you just get in and that's
how I started. Then I got in under one channel
nine five to five and Detroit, and I floated over

(34:47):
the WDFA where Rob used to be. You just get
in the building, so get your foot and I call it.
Get the key padge, get the key card, just so
you can be there. You can network rebebos and be
the hardest working young Listen the.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Good luck David. Okay, good luck to you, No problem.
I love that. Good call man. So real quick, how
much time are we having? Ample minutes? Yeah, that's fine.
I'm just the Steve Smith. Let's just talk about it
real quick. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
The only thing is seriously sorry, Steve Smith.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
I guess apparently or.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Had an affair the guy who wife he had an
affair with out of them basically like put all this
stuff out there that he was having an affair with his.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
Wife calls and text text messages, and Steve is married
with four kids, so that's embarrassing to his wife and
his family.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Have we heard from him anybody? What do you Okay?
You're on his what's the show scandal? What was her
name again?

Speaker 5 (35:47):
Mary Carrie Washington's character Olivia Pope?

Speaker 3 (35:51):
You're Olivia Pope.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
Or the obviously we're dudes, so you're we're you know,
Oliver Pope, We're Oliver Pope. What do you do if
you're Steve Smith Senior? What are we doing right now?
How do you salvage this. What do we You can't
say anything. I just let it go away because I wouldn't.
What is there to say with all that evidence that's
out there, is it's no.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I'm just saying now, if it's if it's fall you
know what I mean. If it's false, then you then
you then you go out and.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Fight that dude.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
I'm just like, I'm more curious, like, you know, what
do you take the early yo that was me going
through and knowing that this system we're meaning to wait
twenty four hour news like bo two three days that's gone.
I can name stuff to y'all that we sean did
he comes is the biggest thing smoke.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
You ain't talked about that. But that's right.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
But but it ain't going away. It ain't going away.
But but this ain't that. So I'm just wondering, like,
how does he handle?

Speaker 4 (36:40):
But aren't you surprised that the husband went that public
with it? No, because that's that's the only way you
could get back at him. He's not a star. This
is the only thing where I'm with you, like, does
he look like a winner in this situation?

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Now the whole world knows he's already heard he was
trying to hurt He's.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Smith's hurting himself too a little bit.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
But Steve Smith might lead, might not get the kind
of endorsements or speaking engagements.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
And then we got the photos of the women all
over the internet. Now people know who she is. The
kids is my issue.

Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
