Speaker 2 (04:20):
Man?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
No, no, Brandon, not that I see what you have
on it obviously means that it's cold out because he's
got the forty nine ers hat Ski had.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Everybody has a hat on it here.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I know it's all listen. Usually we we overreact in LA.
It actually is degrees.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I took my hat off for the show, but I
had a hat on as well as Brandon.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Manty Bolanos is at the anchor desk. She'll keep me
dated up throughout the program. Yeah, and Soger is our

Speaker 4 (04:53):

you go.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We're all good.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Well, Alex got the headphones from Elijah ha Steve, he's golden.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
There you go. Yep, all right, Kelvin. There was some movement,
some news.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
I guess news you could use from the your Los
Angeles Lakers because you're like a Laker fan, you're a
Pistons fan.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Wherever the wind blows'll do that. Let's start off on
a good foot, Okay. I don't want to have to
come see about you. Yeah, I want to have to
come through this Noah's art, get in my arc and
come see you. Yeah, man, But there's some news Lakers are.
They're basically we knew when owner Mark Walters bought the
team that there could be some changes. When would have happened,
how would have happened, who would it happened to? And
(05:38):
now there's some big changes. So they're reshuffling the deck
there in the basketball department. And they fired executives Joey
and Jesse Buss from their respective front office positions that
they have effective immediately.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Uh. And they went on to say that.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
They're extremely honored to have been a part of this
organization for the last twenty years. And they also said
thank you to the Laker nation. Blah blah blah. But
you get expect with that. But I do think was
interesting is they said this Rob and this part of
our conversation, doctor Buss's idea their father was for Joey
and I to run basketball operations one day. That's what
Jesse told uh shamp Serani and referring to the father,
(06:14):
and he said, but Jeannie has effectively kept herself in
place with her siblings fired, so we got a little
succession going on like the TV show in real life.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I'm just gonna say this, the Lakers didn't do enough
for me because Genie Buss should have been fired with
her brothers as well.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And what yeah, I'm that serious.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Once they've already taken the Bus family took the ten
billion dollars. And people have to understand everybody who owns
a team is not super rich.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And I'm not.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Saying a lot of people don't get that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
They don't get that.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
You think, oh, you own the Lakers, Oh my god,
all of them are your printing money. You got all
this money. No, that was the Bus family fit family business.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Yep, that's the They're not Steve Balmer where this is
my pet project.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Would a be? And this is just fun something to do.
It puts me out there, my name is out there.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Exactly know the Lakers were the Buses family business.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
And and I don't I don't know the whole idea
or the whole idea that you sell a team to
somebody and you expect to still have a job there
or work there or collect money as pay. You got paid,
your family got paid, they got the ten billion. If
you want to be in the basketball business, then you
(07:36):
shouldn't have sold. Just like Mark Cuban, I want another
seat at the table. What if that doesn't make any
sense to me. It really doesn't, Dude, what you sell
for the Bus family enough, the people who won the organization,
who bought the team, right of the Dodger people, get
your own people.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You don't need Genie Bus anymore. And it does feel weird.
And I'm not siding with the brothers, but doesn't it
feel weird?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
What?
Speaker 11 (08:02):
What?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Why didn't Genie get the red get the pink.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Slip as well? Seriously? I so here's my answer to that.
I believe Genie Buss.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Is the singular face of the Lakers outside of you know,
the players, obviously Luca Lebron and you know, God bless
the dead Kobe Scheck. But when you think of it organizationally,
nobody really thinks of Rob Pelinka except obviously Laker fans.
But when you think of it as a whole, like nationwide,
I think even even in LA she's endeared. You've been
the games, You've seen how fans. She's like the one
(08:33):
person fans are cool with, even when the team's in
the dumps. She's the one person is like a family member.
She's like, all right, now, this team, they're struggling, But Genie,
come on, like people have love for her because they
literally have seen her grow up from a teenager being
a part of this team.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
So I think she's there for ceremonial like the heart
of name on man.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
But I'm just telling you what you're there because I
don't think she's gonna be part of the real basketball operations.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I don't. She doesn't need to be there at all.
I don't agree, I don't disagree without need. I'm telling
you what I think they're doing it for.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But not one Laker fan is gonna lose any sleep
that Genie Bust doesn't have an office with the Lakers
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
They understand how business is. They agreed, nobody cares about
Jeanie Bust.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
She's old newsency, tenency of fans who still want a
connection to the good old days, the Bus family, to
show time Lakers, and they want to have that. She's
not gonna be overly involved in the basketball operations. So
what's the point.
Speaker 10 (09:35):
Then?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You wanted to be a mascot is what you're telling me.
You wanted to be a mascot.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
She will.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Why don't you go down put a mascot, go down
there and walk around.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
And throw T shirts at and you know, and you
know people do that all the time, like Magic Johnson
when he was prior to when he finally when he
was a president for those couple of years.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
He's magic. He is a part of it, but he's madic.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
You feel comfortable, you feel good having around and he,
by the way, is someone there speculating? Rodney Pete obviously
a friend of both of ours, who had put out
on his show A M. Five to seventy out here
in LA that you know, he wouldn't be shocked if
Magic has some I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
He wouldn't be shocked. Is Magic gonna do something?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Just tell you what Rodney said? What do you want
from me?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (10:14):
That you know?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And also Stan Caston, who is president Operation.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Stan Casting used to run the Hawks.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Stan Caston knows basketball and Stan based Dodgers, and he'd
been with the Braves. Stan Caston could easily easily easily
handle both because that's what he's done.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
He was I remember Stan Casting from the old days
with the Hawks.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yep, he has been all over. He's done a million
different things.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
So for those who kind of n't familiar with them,
you know, we mentioned it the Braves, the Hawks, the Dodgers.
He's just really good at putting a team together day
to day, understanding the you know, the the overall like
what you're trying to do and accomplished. So Stan Casting
who was with the part ownership of the Dodgers. So
part owner means he's with Mark Walter and uh and
also Magic our owner the Dodgers with Mark Walter.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It would not surprise me if they start to slowly.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
Bring over the team that has now got three rings
and what five six years has been in the playoffs,
really made this this team a great organization over the
last decade.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Or so, So that would not shock me there. But
again with the Genie bus point, I just think there's
a hint of familiarity, a hint of glory days years past,
a hint of something that Laker fans LA fans people
can say, I remember that, as opposed to like a
hostile takeover, where it's like, hey, oh hold on now, so.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I now not longer that lasts had a hostile takeover.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You like dollars, if you're used to the bus, you
didn't lose the team. I ain't lying.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
The money is great, I'm saying on the fan base
looking at ownership and if everything that had to do
with the Lakers pass was gone, I could see some
Laker fans.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Being who owned the team before the Bus Family?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, Okay, there you go. That's what I was gonna say,
right the.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Bus been Oh this is nineteen seventy nine. Don't nobody
remember all that?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
What do you mean nineteen seventy nine and one hundred
years ago? Rock, I wasn't born, Jack, I wasn't born.
You don't have to be born. You know who the
president of the first president of the United States was.
You weren't born in.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
What Barack Obama?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Ball?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I wasn't born.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Jack can't cook and they okay, when when the Bus
Family took over, he didn't have to stay on.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He sold your team. Come on because the body because
he wasn't doing nothing within it. They wasn't winning.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Did the eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox? We're
gonna be me and you.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
It's trash socker too. You want to leave me like
a TV team?
Speaker 2 (12:34):

knew not to have me next to you around we'd
be rumbling in this dude to be some furniture moving
up in there?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
All right?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Did the Lakers make a mistake not dumping Genie Bust

Speaker 2 (12:47):

conversation next with you.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (16:09):
I'm doing great. I am a longtime listener since Rossard
and I was great to hear your boss grub and Kevin,
you're doing a wonderful job. Man, you did an awesome job.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It was all good, so you said, Kevin, See I
blame you, Alex.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
You playing that Kevin drop Hey, Hey, Harold, thank you man,
appreciate the support.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Thanks, no doubt, thank you hare all the time listener thing.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
My man appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Let me chime in here. I have to go with
Kevin on this from here because I work at the company.
And of course the brothers could have the brothers gonna
say if one of them book liked it in the business.
But I grew up in the company, an abation company,
as a welder and pat. The Whitney Company bought the company,
and they checked the previous owners of the other company
(16:55):
pretty much not sell morning, but they did it for
a soul purpose. That Cotton nor with those who have
already have business, whipped their fingers owner, and then they
eventually fraightened them out so I can see whatever point
is you want to keep Genus Boston, which I've been
a face of the Lakers and Doctor Buffalo, but get
phased out. But they gonna they're playing a smart that's
(17:17):
a smart business move. You don't want to clean outlet Jared,
don't daddy out there Landry, which I think was disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And and and Jerry Jones got ripped for it. All
they did was put together a dynasty and they didn't
need Tom Landry.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
And I know, but if you watched the documentary, Jerry
Jones talks about that he shouldn't have did it that way.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
He even talked about it. What did they factult?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But what did they do?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
They still succeeded. I'm just saying you can stand on ceremony.
Thanks for the call, appreciated, but it didn't. It didn't
stop them from doing their business because they put the
right people in place.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I don't believe she's gonna be here long ride. I
think it's a I think it's another.

I think the Lakers are smart because I think Rob
Polinka has done a great job, regardless of what these
Lebron menon say. I think that he's put put together
one of the better rosters in the league since he's
been there. The only bad move you could say is
(20:07):
Russell Westbrook and that wasn't even his move.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I love the j How about hiring JJ Redding?
Speaker 10 (20:16):
I think I think right now it works.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It definitely works.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Did it work last year? Did you say that last
year when they went out in the first round?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I do.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
But I think that I believe that they're positioning themself
to get rid of the Lebron. I think they should
trade Lebron to the Knicks, get backberg me Calbrigg is
because that gives them a three and D guy that could.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Lebron James being traded trade get traded, well.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Well, well he'll he would be like, I'm gonna give
you d n ps.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Okay, But I just don't believe. I don't believe that
they're going to work Lebron like a Burglar Fries.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
No, I don't. I don't think that.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I just don't think.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, but I don't think what's your question He's saying,
do you.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
Think that I don't really know the Dodgers how the
Dodgers operate, But does he run a tighter ship than
the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, but they're not going to do that till Lebron
if he doesn't want to go at the end of
his career.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Like, I just don't see that being If Lebron says
to them, hey, I don't want to be here, then
of course they'll facilitate it. But I'm saying the idea
that you're dumping him or or I just don't see
that happening. I'm really not doing that.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
They're not a championship team and so I just don't
It's like it's not like, oh, we just get this
player and one player and we're there, like, they're not gonna.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Do that right now. I just don't.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I'm just saying I don't see that as the way.
Now Lebron goes to them and says I don't want
to be here, then they'll do it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
That's that's what I see. The last one. Dre in Massachusetts,
you're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Drake?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Hey, how you doing? Thanks for taking the call. I'm
gonna concur with the Lakers in terms of keeping Genie.
But it's good business and there's also the good messaging
that goes along with it. A lot of callers made
great points before that bottom line is this, because this
is what we're dealing with here in the Commonwealth. Right
when these new owners come in and are about the money,
what do they do They dismantled dynasties. Okay, that's what
(22:13):
we're dealing with in Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Should have never what.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Dynasty did they have? They won one championship? What dynasty?
They don't have a dynasty in Boston?
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Rob, you traded away Drew Holliday.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
No, no, no, I'm just asking you what dynasty do
they have?
Speaker 11 (22:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
What am I missing? They won one championship.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yes, won one championship My New York Next under the
leadership of Tom Jabot bounce them. But if you kept
that Corps together, drew Holiday tat I'm Jalen Brown and
Derek White, you had the chance to compete for multiple championship.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
But you don't. I get that.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
That's different from they broke up a dynasty. They didn't
break up a dynasty.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
That's all I'm saying, point taking up, point taking round.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
All I'm saying is that that Corps was built the
previous owner, Wes Grossback, who had the team, and he
was trying to compete for championship, and when the new
ownership came in worried about the second Aprons, they dismantled a.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Going well because of the money that's involved, and he
bailed because he didn't want to be the one left
hold in the bag.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Look at all the people who have bailed out on
the NBA.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
The Lakers were sold, the Celtics were sold, Michael Jordan's sold,
Mark Cuban sold.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I liked, like, seriously, listen to the names and the
teams that have that have been sold.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
It's incredible to me, point taking rob they sold, they
cashed out, and what's left for those organizations. Dallas is
a dumpster fire Boston that now needs to reef to
find themselves back to the Lakers. Why I agree with
keeping Genie Butt, keep some of that wisdom around you.
He doesn't have to have the finals say, but she
knows what the heck she's doing. And had Mark Cuban
(23:50):
had some say, you wouldn't have had the Luca Donti's
disaster having him win an MVP in Los Angeles rather
than competing for your Dallas map.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
My holy yeah, I disagree. Once you take the money,
Once you take the money, Drew h Dre, you're done.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I'm sorry. Don't take the money then.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
And words of Rob Parker, you're dead to me?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You are?
Speaker 8 (24:11):
You can still call though, yeah no oh yeah, no
no no, not y'all we need You're not talk about y'all.
I'm talking about if I sold the team.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
All right, solo TV, it would be dead to me.
Genie Bus would be dead to me.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
See No, I think it's it's a slow roll rops.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
She gonna probably one or two more years and she'll
phase out and she'll be some great big thing.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So so she really doesn't matter. So it's just you
wanted to be a mascot? Is that what you wanted
to be?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You're putting that name on it.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I'm saying she's gonna be Aonio like face of the franchise.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Then two more years she'll be gone and they'll be
rightful smacking the middle of their game plan.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Whatever that may be, all right on the way.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Some more drama and Philly, we'll get to that in
a second. Right now, it is Manci Blanio. She's gonna
get you updated.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Hey Manzy, Hi guys. Happy Thursday. Yeah, it's a TV
theme song thing, a TV theme song Thursday.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
Today, it is Thursday Night Football, which kicks off Week
twelve of the NFL. It all starts in about forty
five minutes from Houston, as the Texans are going to
be hosting the Bills. Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman a
healthy scratch once again for a second consecutive game. Also,
Bills have elevated wide receiver Gabe Davis to their active

Jones to their injury report today with a calf injury.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson returned to practice after missing yesterday's
practice with an ankle issue. Packer's running back Josh Jacobs,
who's dealing with knee injury, returned to practice today as
a limited participant. Cowboys wide receiver Ceed Lamb and George
(25:44):
Pickens were you know, bench to the first series in
their Monday night game against the vague the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It was because they missed.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
Curfew after having dinner and a few drinks at Rock Casino.
Social media uncovered this because they didn't want to say
why they were benched for that first you know opening series.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, the internet has also uncovered.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
They claim that they saw Lamb vomiting at seven thirty
in the morning on Monday. He has denied that he
was throwing up, saying that it's disrespect to even suggests
that he that he did that because he knows how
to hold his liquor.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
No, no, he heard that Genie Buss was staying with
the Lakers.
Speaker 13 (26:22):
It was Calvin Watkins who covers the Cowboys for the
Dallas News has the details on that. When it comes
to the NBA, Kingstar center de Monte Sebonas suffered a
partially tormentiscus in his left knee.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
He's going to be reevaluated in three to four weeks.
Speaker 13 (26:35):
One NBA going on right now, Magic are leading the
Clippers twenty six to twenty four late in the first quarter,
Jalen Suggs ten points James Harden eleven points. In men's
college hoops in the second half between Memphis and number
one Perdue, Purdue is up fifty five to forty eight
with about twelve minutes to go in the game. Late
in the first half, Number fourteen Saint John's leading Bucknell
twenty three to twenty and also late in the first half,
(26:58):
Number twenty Tennessee on top of Tennessee State twenty nine
to six. When it comes to the NHL, the Capitals
are leading the Canadians one zero late in the first period,
just like the Islanders who are leading the Red Wings
one zero.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Late in the first period. Back to you guys, thank
you appreciate it, Moncie.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
It's the ad couple. Rob Parker kelvin Washington on a
TV themes Song Thursday, and for over forty years, sire
Rack's been helping customers find the right tires for how
for what, for where they drive shit fast and free
back by free Road has a protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire insulation tire rack dot Com. It
(27:34):
is the way tire buying should be, rob You and
I have talked about it a handful of times, and
it's just something that won't go away. That is all
the drama happening in the Eagles. Got that report from
the Athletic. You got reporter Derek Gunn talking about there's
frustration with players that is growing around Jalen Hurts and
his approach to the season, and you got players saying
(27:56):
that they feel like he's trying to play his game
instead of taking what was discuss an actual game plan
between the coaches and the players, and throughout the week
transitioning into game day, Jalen Hurts, I'm gonna tell you
what he said. They will jump into it, he said,
I'm not surprised by anything. This is kind of the
nature of the position. Then he said, but I put
my energy in my focus on trying to go out
there and do my best and trying to learn, trying
(28:17):
to build, trying to take in things that I can
try and improve. I guess a lot of that attention
happens when things are going well, when things are not
going so well. I never run away from holding myself accountable,
and I think that's exactly what I've taken the approach
of doing. And then he goes on to say he
takes pride in offense and all the work and all
that good stuff.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
Rob.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
You know what, I this is interesting to me because
you and I have talked about it. Even I've been critical,
like of the offense, but I concede and agree with
you and that hey, they're winning twenty two of the
last twenty five he's been. He's been to two Super Bowls,
one to one, played out standing even in the one
he lost. So the thing that I makes it interesting
(28:59):
to me, right something, You've been covering this in sports
thirty forty years.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I've been doing this now for twenty years.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
It seems like usually there are times where media can
blow things up, especially once the debate shows started in podcasts.
You know, people, we take one little inkling of something
and making a thing. We that happens in media.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
This is the weird one for me, Rob because it's
coming from inside, like we have AJ Brown. It's not
like he's literally saying it while in the locker room,
like you know what I mean, and not like we
randomly hurt some tape or something. He's saying it on
twitches and tweets. Devontae Smith said something last year. Sirianni
and Jalen Hurts got into it last year early, Like.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
I'm actually confused on what is going on. Why they
don't see it as a as long as we're winning
and keeping the rest in the house. They're publicly saying it,
they're talking to reporters about it, and it's I'm genuinely
shocked by this considering the amount of winning they've done
twenty two or the last twenty five. Looks like they
could get right back to another Super Bowl, maybe repeat,
(29:59):
and yet we're having such public displays of division.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
And that's what makes it so weird to me.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
It's from Ludicris is dumb. It's stupid, and that's all
I can say. I've never seen.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Anything like it.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Surety the offense play better, we know it can. We
saw it in the Super Bowl. Stop it It's like,
it's not like they've scored seven points or nine points
for three years. We've seen this offense score. It's about winning.
People just need something to complain about. That's where we are.
(30:35):
They're boring because they win. Oh my god, yes, go ahead, Jalen.
Throw the ball around the yard, pick up three interceptions
and we lose and then people will be happy.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Is that what you want?
Speaker 5 (30:46):
I don't even understand. Jalen knows he wants to score
more than sixteen points. I just saw the numbers with
the Lions. When they lose their average, they scored sixteen points.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Right, Yeah, like the offense gets stifled.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah okay, but but somehow, some way, Jalen's making the
right plays, making the right situations, and they're still winning games.
It's about winning. Small sports has a short menu. I
can't say it enough. Sure they can work on the offense,
Sure they can play better. It ain't like they were
(31:19):
out a ceiling and this is the best that they
can play, because we've seen it and even the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
He played great in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
They lost.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
He had the one turnover, but he played. He played
better than Patrick Mahoons.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
You know what you know what rob and I think,
you know what, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
I'm wondering if that's because if that's part of what's
making this uh, Robbie there, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Oh my bad, I'm sorry I could have hear what
this is.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
I'm wondering if because they saw the highest of the
highs with him airing it out in the Super Bowl
outdueled Patrick Mahomes even though they lost, but outduel, then't
look fantastic.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
And I'm wondering if that's in.
Speaker 8 (32:02):
The back of their brain, you know what I mean,
like this is what we should be or could be
that right now they are twenty fifth in total yards,
twenty eighth in passing, twenty ninth and third down conversions,
and I'm wondering if that is you know what I mean,
like they're looking at this is what we should be,
and if he has fallen like I talked about this
the other day with you in love with that he
only has one interception this entire season that his QBR
(32:25):
is really how I think he's fifth in total QBR
and I think he's like, I'm playing sound.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
And discipline even though he's not letting that thing rip
and I think.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
But my only argument with that is that just doesn't
make any sense to me. If you told me his
QBR was fourteenth or eighteenth, or you told me he
had he was number one in turnover Jory and all
those numbers and they were barely winning, that would make
sense to me, you know what I mean, Like he's
(32:55):
not playing well and the offense has to play better.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Like, I get it. You want to score more points,
you want to do stuff.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Also, looking there a lot of those hands, a lot
of those carries and handoffs or the tush push right,
that's a part of their offense, not looking for other
plays downfield, right like we saw it on a fourth
down in their own territory right against the Lions.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Well what are they doing? They they got the Lions
the ball back and that do.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You see what I'm saying? Like that that was a
toush push.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
I do believe some of this ribbed to your point,
some of this, and they were breaking it down. We
had some uh, there was some experts breaking down their offense.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
They are Manila, meaning away from just Jalen.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Like the schematics of it all, it ain't all on
him when our overall scheme is very manila, very basic
when you look at some of the other top teams
in the league. So I do think there's an element
of Jalen is just doing you know, a lot of what, Hey,
this is what we're trying to do, and this is
you know, kind of the game plan. But it does
baffle you. And if I was an Eagles fan, I
would be hyped there with I know a couple of
(34:01):
friends of mine who are like, what team. They're like,
this is a weird season where we're so happy we're winning,
but we're also nervous that why aren't we playing well?
So it is it's a weird season for them and
that and again the own division within the locker room.
Not one time rob not like oh we had you know,
arguments happened. This is a continual thing.
Speaker 11 (34:23):
But it.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Makes it makes no sense that this is a public story.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
It did.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
They should go to the offensive coordinator and to the
coach and say, hey, we need to open this up
or whatever. I just like, to me, this is just
another one of those people who are more worried about
their stats than anything. That's that's what it feels like
to me, because it's not enough to win. It's about
the one stats.
Speaker 8 (34:50):
Well only the only one caveat I'll add to that
is maybe there's concern that we're winning now, can we
win in playoffs if we're not producing?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
That will be my only But I don't even understand.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
It's the same quarterback who's who's balled out in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Right were running.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
It's one thing if you ever if he had never
done that, and you're worried about his first trip to
the super Bowl, are we gonna have enough points?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
We've seen him playing ball out.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
And maybe that's working to the kryptonite and that they're like, well,
why aren't you that right now? And maybe that's maybe
that's why you know what I mean, I've seen you
be that, I've seen you be dynamic, airing out.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Why aren't you that? All?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Right?
Speaker 8 (35:27):
On the way player today shekel city as well. Plus
somebody might be asking for a way out of their
city in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
We'll tell you what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
If you've ever wondered, wondered whatever became of me? I'm
living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati, w k R
P Man.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
That's that that registers with me since I lived there
up and down the dial. Maybe even you were never
meant to be for me Once in a while. I'm
at WUKRP in Cincinnaty. It is the odd couple, Rob
(36:26):
Parker kelvin Washington, right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
And guess what it's time for Checko City.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
day Dicks against the scrap.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
All right, here we go two and one last night,
seventy nine and seventy is the record, seventy nine and seventy.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Here we go tonight. I'm taking the.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Bucks plus one and a half at home hosting the
seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I got Memphis minus three and a half.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
At home taking on the Siberia Kings, I mean Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
And I got the Hawks plus one and a half
on the road taking on the Spurs. So again, here
we go. My best bet, Bucks plus one and a
half at.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Home against the seventy six ers. I got Memphis minus
three and a half hosting the.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Kings, and the and the Hawks. I wanted to say Falcons, Hawks.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Getting one and a half points and beating uh taking
on the Spurs in San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I remember Kelvin. I'm not telling you who to bet on.
I'm telling you be okay. You feel you feel good?
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Now? Yeah, I do. Just you know, nevery not again.
You gotta get it out and it's time for the
tyreck player today.
Speaker 14 (37:57):
Bobs it off down load and Bruce Brown Brown shovel fast,
Payton watching jumpers up and in for Peyton watching in
a new career high forms at an even thirty for
he watched thirty.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
That is Nuggets Radio right there. And that's your tirect
player today. Brought to you by Tirack.
Speaker 8 (38:16):
For over forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, for what and for where
they drive shit fast and free back by free Road
has a protection with convenient installation shoptions like mobile tire
Installation tirack dot com. It is the way tire buying
should be run a short on time. So I really
(38:37):
don't want to use this one too much.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
We can tell you can always get back to it.
Speaker 8 (38:41):
Just yeah, but LaMelo Ball essentially, there's some reports that
he may want to get out of Charlotte that I
think they're four and eleven right now, and he's unhappy.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
My thing is this rop.
Speaker 8 (38:51):
I think he is a fantastic player to watch as
far as entertainment, like him in an All Star Game
would be crazy.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
But I don't think he is playing winning basketball. Like
I don't. I don't. I don't think, Okay, you go
to Minnesota, you know, you go to Atlanta.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
We were just talking about, like, I don't automatically think
the grit grass will be greener because I think he
has to learn how to play winning basketball and I
don't know if he's gonna stay healthy. Rob him and
Lonzo have been hurt their whole entire NBA careers, and I,
in my theory of played too much youth basketball.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I watched both of them play when they were in
high school here.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
I lived when they were there.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Okay, and uh, it was the worst basketball I've ever seen.
I'm just he was.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Remember he would stay on the other half of the
courtyard play.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
He wouldn't even play defense. He would just cherry pick
yep and they would throw the ball down. The coach
couldn't do anything, and the father was overbearing.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
It was awful, it was.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
And that's the non winning basketball you're talking about, and
that that's what they grew up with That's what That's
why they put up numbers.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
But they don't win him specifically. I think Lonzo, because
Lonzo will lock in defensively. Him being a little brother,
he got to kind of skate and slide a little bit.
And I just don't think, Okay, you go somewhere else.
Are you gonna be healthy? Are you going to be
part of the winning culture. I think he cares, but
I don't think if he knows what it takes to
win the day and day out grind of it on
the court, and so you know, good luck. I'm rooting
(40:14):
for him, but I just don't think he's ready for
what it takes to lead a franchise at this age.
You know what, I mean to just simply be If
you think just going somewhere else is gonna make it easier,
that's not the case.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I'm with you. I'm just I'm out on those guys,
both of them. I'm cool.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
And injuries too, that's the other thing I do. I
don't know if he's gonna be able to healthy enough
to really make a difference with another.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
Mello should probably LaMelo maybe play for the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
I think that might be fun.
Speaker 8 (40:42):
The Harlem Globe Trotters ain't paying two hundred mil. That
two hundred mil hit different

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Rob g is our producer, but Mexican Brandon is also here.
You never heard of producing Brandon and he hear that?
But yes, what is that forty nine ers hat you
got on?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Man?
Speaker 5 (04:20):
No, no, Brandon, not that I see what you have
on it obviously means that it's cold out because he's
got the forty nine ers hat Ski had.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Everybody has a hat on it here.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I know it's all listen. Usually we we overreact in LA.
It actually is degrees.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I took my hat off for the show, but I
had a hat on as well as Brandon.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Manty Bolanos is at the anchor desk. She'll keep me
dated up throughout the program. Yeah, and Soger is our
social media guru. He does a great job.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Oop. So he ain't got us no headphones. So there
you go.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We're all good.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Well, Alex got the headphones from Elijah ha Steve, he's golden.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
There you go. Yep, all right, Kelvin. There was some movement,
some news.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
I guess news you could use from the your Los
Angeles Lakers because you're like a Laker fan, you're a
Pistons fan.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Wherever the wind blows'll do that. Let's start off on
a good foot, Okay. I don't want to have to
come see about you. Yeah, I want to have to
come through this Noah's art, get in my arc and
come see you. Yeah, man, But there's some news Lakers are.
They're basically we knew when owner Mark Walters bought the
team that there could be some changes. When would have happened,
how would have happened, who would it happened to? And
(05:38):
now there's some big changes. So they're reshuffling the deck
there in the basketball department. And they fired executives Joey
and Jesse Buss from their respective front office positions that
they have effective immediately.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Uh. And they went on to say that.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
They're extremely honored to have been a part of this
organization for the last twenty years. And they also said
thank you to the Laker nation. Blah blah blah. But
you get expect with that. But I do think was
interesting is they said this Rob and this part of
our conversation, doctor Buss's idea their father was for Joey
and I to run basketball operations one day. That's what
Jesse told uh shamp Serani and referring to the father,
(06:14):
and he said, but Jeannie has effectively kept herself in
place with her siblings fired, so we got a little
succession going on like the TV show in real life.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
I'm just gonna say this, the Lakers didn't do enough
for me because Genie Buss should have been fired with
her brothers as well.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And what yeah, I'm that serious.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Once they've already taken the Bus family took the ten
billion dollars. And people have to understand everybody who owns
a team is not super rich.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And I'm not.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Saying a lot of people don't get that.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
They don't get that.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
You think, oh, you own the Lakers, Oh my god,
all of them are your printing money. You got all
this money. No, that was the Bus family fit family business.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
Yep, that's the They're not Steve Balmer where this is
my pet project.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Would a be? And this is just fun something to do.
It puts me out there, my name is out there.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Exactly know the Lakers were the Buses family business.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
And and I don't I don't know the whole idea
or the whole idea that you sell a team to
somebody and you expect to still have a job there
or work there or collect money as pay. You got paid,
your family got paid, they got the ten billion. If
you want to be in the basketball business, then you
(07:36):
shouldn't have sold. Just like Mark Cuban, I want another
seat at the table. What if that doesn't make any
sense to me. It really doesn't, Dude, what you sell
for the Bus family enough, the people who won the organization,
who bought the team, right of the Dodger people, get
your own people.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
You don't need Genie Bus anymore. And it does feel weird.
And I'm not siding with the brothers, but doesn't it
feel weird?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
What?
Speaker 11 (08:02):
What?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Why didn't Genie get the red get the pink.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Slip as well? Seriously? I so here's my answer to that.
I believe Genie Buss.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Is the singular face of the Lakers outside of you know,
the players, obviously Luca Lebron and you know, God bless
the dead Kobe Scheck. But when you think of it organizationally,
nobody really thinks of Rob Pelinka except obviously Laker fans.
But when you think of it as a whole, like nationwide,
I think even even in LA she's endeared. You've been
the games, You've seen how fans. She's like the one
(08:33):
person fans are cool with, even when the team's in
the dumps. She's the one person is like a family member.
She's like, all right, now, this team, they're struggling, But Genie,
come on, like people have love for her because they
literally have seen her grow up from a teenager being
a part of this team.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
So I think she's there for ceremonial like the heart
of name on man.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
But I'm just telling you what you're there because I
don't think she's gonna be part of the real basketball operations.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I don't. She doesn't need to be there at all.
I don't agree, I don't disagree without need. I'm telling
you what I think they're doing it for.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But not one Laker fan is gonna lose any sleep
that Genie Bust doesn't have an office with the Lakers
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
They understand how business is. They agreed, nobody cares about
Jeanie Bust.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
She's old newsency, tenency of fans who still want a
connection to the good old days, the Bus family, to
show time Lakers, and they want to have that. She's
not gonna be overly involved in the basketball operations. So
what's the point.
Speaker 10 (09:35):
Then?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You wanted to be a mascot is what you're telling me.
You wanted to be a mascot.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
She will.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Why don't you go down put a mascot, go down
there and walk around.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
And throw T shirts at and you know, and you
know people do that all the time, like Magic Johnson
when he was prior to when he finally when he
was a president for those couple of years.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
He's magic. He is a part of it, but he's madic.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
You feel comfortable, you feel good having around and he,
by the way, is someone there speculating? Rodney Pete obviously
a friend of both of ours, who had put out
on his show A M. Five to seventy out here
in LA that you know, he wouldn't be shocked if
Magic has some I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
He wouldn't be shocked. Is Magic gonna do something?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Just tell you what Rodney said? What do you want
from me?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (10:14):
That you know?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And also Stan Caston, who is president Operation.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Stan Casting used to run the Hawks.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Stan Caston knows basketball and Stan based Dodgers, and he'd
been with the Braves. Stan Caston could easily easily easily
handle both because that's what he's done.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
He was I remember Stan Casting from the old days
with the Hawks.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yep, he has been all over. He's done a million
different things.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
So for those who kind of n't familiar with them,
you know, we mentioned it the Braves, the Hawks, the Dodgers.
He's just really good at putting a team together day
to day, understanding the you know, the the overall like
what you're trying to do and accomplished. So Stan Casting
who was with the part ownership of the Dodgers. So
part owner means he's with Mark Walter and uh and
also Magic our owner the Dodgers with Mark Walter.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It would not surprise me if they start to slowly.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
Bring over the team that has now got three rings
and what five six years has been in the playoffs,
really made this this team a great organization over the
last decade.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Or so, So that would not shock me there. But
again with the Genie bus point, I just think there's
a hint of familiarity, a hint of glory days years past,
a hint of something that Laker fans LA fans people
can say, I remember that, as opposed to like a
hostile takeover, where it's like, hey, oh hold on now, so.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I now not longer that lasts had a hostile takeover.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You like dollars, if you're used to the bus, you
didn't lose the team. I ain't lying.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
The money is great, I'm saying on the fan base
looking at ownership and if everything that had to do
with the Lakers pass was gone, I could see some
Laker fans.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Being who owned the team before the Bus Family?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, Okay, there you go. That's what I was gonna say,
right the.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Bus been Oh this is nineteen seventy nine. Don't nobody
remember all that?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
What do you mean nineteen seventy nine and one hundred
years ago? Rock, I wasn't born, Jack, I wasn't born.
You don't have to be born. You know who the
president of the first president of the United States was.
You weren't born in.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
All right?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
What Barack Obama?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Ball?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
I wasn't born.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Jack can't cook and they okay, when when the Bus
Family took over, he didn't have to stay on.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
He sold your team. Come on because the body because
he wasn't doing nothing within it. They wasn't winning.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Did the eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox? We're
gonna be me and you.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
It's trash socker too. You want to leave me like
a TV team?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So on Thursday, that's all right.
Speaker 8 (12:36):
You see, they knew, they knew, the gods knew, God
knew not to have me next to you around we'd
be rumbling in this dude to be some furniture moving
up in there?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
All right?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Did the Lakers make a mistake not dumping Genie Bust
today as well?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You hear me, they make a mistake. We'll continue that
conversation next with you.
Speaker 4 (12:51):

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Harold in Florida. You're in the odd couple of Fox
Boys radio. What's up, Harold?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (16:09):
I'm doing great. I am a longtime listener since Rossard
and I was great to hear your boss grub and Kevin,
you're doing a wonderful job. Man, you did an awesome job.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It was all good, so you said, Kevin, See I
blame you, Alex.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
You playing that Kevin drop Hey, Hey, Harold, thank you man,
appreciate the support.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Thanks, no doubt, thank you hare all the time listener thing.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
My man appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Let me chime in here. I have to go with
Kevin on this from here because I work at the company.
And of course the brothers could have the brothers gonna
say if one of them book liked it in the business.
But I grew up in the company, an abation company,
as a welder and pat. The Whitney Company bought the company,
and they checked the previous owners of the other company
(16:55):
pretty much not sell morning, but they did it for
a soul purpose. That Cotton nor with those who have
already have business, whipped their fingers owner, and then they
eventually fraightened them out so I can see whatever point
is you want to keep Genus Boston, which I've been
a face of the Lakers and Doctor Buffalo, but get
phased out. But they gonna they're playing a smart that's
(17:17):
a smart business move. You don't want to clean outlet Jared,
don't daddy out there Landry, which I think was disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And and and Jerry Jones got ripped for it. All
they did was put together a dynasty and they didn't
need Tom Landry.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
And I know, but if you watched the documentary, Jerry
Jones talks about that he shouldn't have did it that way.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
He even talked about it. What did they factult?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
But what did they do?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
They still succeeded. I'm just saying you can stand on ceremony.
Thanks for the call, appreciated, but it didn't. It didn't
stop them from doing their business because they put the
right people in place.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I don't believe she's gonna be here long ride. I
think it's a I think it's another.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Would have been the whole kitten poo pool King did yes?
Sure in Maryland, you're in the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's happening?
Speaker 13 (18:06):
Hey, how you doing, Rob?
Speaker 2 (18:08):

Speaker 6 (18:10):
I'm doing good?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Mine.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I'm a long time lagers fine, and I think they
should have clean house with everyone.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Everybody needs to go, bron James and his son. That's
my mother is.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Here a lifetime Lagas fining since the seventies.
Speaker 9 (18:25):
I grew up Lagas firing, and we just think.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Everybody just need to go.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Wow, I agree with Hood.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
You gotta go.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, everybody, back up the moving truck. Anybody whose name
starts with a big get on it and move out
of town. Rob.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Does that even count for Bronnie and bron Yeah?
Speaker 10 (18:45):
Back to Cleveland.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Give us Donovan every time, the Lakers every times in Lake.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Whoo, Mama, Mama watch it. I love it, Joe, I know,
thank you. Well, my no, mama didn't play no games
when you was growing up.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I know it, Sean, I love it. Tell mom, we
said we appreciate the support man that you show.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Thank you, mommy.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
All right, Drew in New Joysy, you're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
What's up, Drew? How are you good?
Speaker 10 (19:17):
How you guys doing good?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
You buddy been a little aol m I A I
just I just.
Speaker 10 (19:24):
Did a military move. So we just moved to Padama
City from Jackson. Okay, yeah, we just got saidled a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So okay that made Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
That make Rob knows all about that. His back still
heart from moving.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, my gun, No I did.
Speaker 10 (19:38):
I did it myself. My wagon pockets some they pay
you if you do it yourself.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Nice, Okay, more for my roth, I.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
R I like that anyway, Yeah, anyway. For for the Lakers,
I think the Lakers are smart because I think Rob
Polinka has done a great job, regardless of what these
Lebron menon say. I think that he's put put together
one of the better rosters in the league since he's
been there. The only bad move you could say is
(20:07):
Russell Westbrook and that wasn't even his move.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I love the j How about hiring JJ Redding?
Speaker 10 (20:16):
I think I think right now it works.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It definitely works.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Did it work last year? Did you say that last
year when they went out in the first round?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I do.
Speaker 10 (20:24):
But I think that I believe that they're positioning themself
to get rid of the Lebron. I think they should
trade Lebron to the Knicks, get backberg me Calbrigg is
because that gives them a three and D guy that could.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Lebron James being traded trade get traded, well.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Well, well he'll he would be like, I'm gonna give
you d n ps.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Okay, But I just don't believe. I don't believe that
they're going to work Lebron like a Burglar Fries.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
No, I don't. I don't think that.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
I just don't think.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, but I don't think what's your question He's saying,
do you.
Speaker 10 (21:01):
Think that I don't really know the Dodgers how the
Dodgers operate, But does he run a tighter ship than
the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah, but they're not going to do that till Lebron
if he doesn't want to go at the end of
his career.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Like, I just don't see that being If Lebron says
to them, hey, I don't want to be here, then
of course they'll facilitate it. But I'm saying the idea
that you're dumping him or or I just don't see
that happening. I'm really not doing that.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
They're not a championship team and so I just don't
It's like it's not like, oh, we just get this
player and one player and we're there, like, they're not gonna.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Do that right now. I just don't.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I'm just saying I don't see that as the way.
Now Lebron goes to them and says I don't want
to be here, then they'll do it.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
That's that's what I see. The last one. Dre in Massachusetts,
you're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Drake?
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Hey, how you doing? Thanks for taking the call. I'm
gonna concur with the Lakers in terms of keeping Genie.
But it's good business and there's also the good messaging
that goes along with it. A lot of callers made
great points before that bottom line is this, because this
is what we're dealing with here in the Commonwealth. Right
when these new owners come in and are about the money,
what do they do They dismantled dynasties. Okay, that's what
(22:13):
we're dealing with in Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Should have never what.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Dynasty did they have? They won one championship? What dynasty?
They don't have a dynasty in Boston?
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Rob, you traded away Drew Holliday.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
No, no, no, I'm just asking you what dynasty do
they have?
Speaker 11 (22:29):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
What am I missing? They won one championship.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
Yes, won one championship My New York Next under the
leadership of Tom Jabot bounce them. But if you kept
that Corps together, drew Holiday tat I'm Jalen Brown and
Derek White, you had the chance to compete for multiple championship.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
But you don't. I get that.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
That's different from they broke up a dynasty. They didn't
break up a dynasty.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
That's all I'm saying, point taking up, point taking round.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
All I'm saying is that that Corps was built the
previous owner, Wes Grossback, who had the team, and he
was trying to compete for championship, and when the new
ownership came in worried about the second Aprons, they dismantled a.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Going well because of the money that's involved, and he
bailed because he didn't want to be the one left
hold in the bag.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Look at all the people who have bailed out on
the NBA.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
The Lakers were sold, the Celtics were sold, Michael Jordan's sold,
Mark Cuban sold.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I liked, like, seriously, listen to the names and the
teams that have that have been sold.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
It's incredible to me, point taking rob they sold, they
cashed out, and what's left for those organizations. Dallas is
a dumpster fire Boston that now needs to reef to
find themselves back to the Lakers. Why I agree with
keeping Genie Butt, keep some of that wisdom around you.
He doesn't have to have the finals say, but she
knows what the heck she's doing. And had Mark Cuban
(23:50):
had some say, you wouldn't have had the Luca Donti's
disaster having him win an MVP in Los Angeles rather
than competing for your Dallas map.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
My holy yeah, I disagree. Once you take the money,
Once you take the money, Drew h Dre, you're done.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I'm sorry. Don't take the money then.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
And words of Rob Parker, you're dead to me?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You are?
Speaker 8 (24:11):
You can still call though, yeah no oh yeah, no
no no, not y'all we need You're not talk about y'all.
I'm talking about if I sold the team.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
All right, solo TV, it would be dead to me.
Genie Bus would be dead to me.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
See No, I think it's it's a slow roll rops.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
She gonna probably one or two more years and she'll
phase out and she'll be some great big thing.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So so she really doesn't matter. So it's just you
wanted to be a mascot? Is that what you wanted
to be?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
You're putting that name on it.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I'm saying she's gonna be Aonio like face of the franchise.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
Then two more years she'll be gone and they'll be
rightful smacking the middle of their game plan.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Whatever that may be, all right on the way.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Some more drama and Philly, we'll get to that in
a second. Right now, it is Manci Blanio. She's gonna
get you updated.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Hey Manzy, Hi guys. Happy Thursday. Yeah, it's a TV
theme song thing, a TV theme song Thursday.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
Today, it is Thursday Night Football, which kicks off Week
twelve of the NFL. It all starts in about forty
five minutes from Houston, as the Texans are going to
be hosting the Bills. Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman a

a limited participant. Cowboys wide receiver Ceed Lamb and George
(25:44):
Pickens were you know, bench to the first series in
their Monday night game against the vague the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It was because they missed.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
Curfew after having dinner and a few drinks at Rock Casino.
Social media uncovered this because they didn't want to say
why they were benched for that first you know opening series.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, the internet has also uncovered.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
They claim that they saw Lamb vomiting at seven thirty
in the morning on Monday. He has denied that he
was throwing up, saying that it's disrespect to even suggests
that he that he did that because he knows how
to hold his liquor.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
No, no, he heard that Genie Buss was staying with
the Lakers.
Speaker 13 (26:22):
It was Calvin Watkins who covers the Cowboys for the
Dallas News has the details on that. When it comes
to the NBA, Kingstar center de Monte Sebonas suffered a
partially tormentiscus in his left knee.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
He's going to be reevaluated in three to four weeks.
Speaker 13 (26:35):
One NBA going on right now, Magic are leading the
Clippers twenty six to twenty four late in the first quarter,
Jalen Suggs ten points James Harden eleven points. In men's
college hoops in the second half between Memphis and number
one Perdue, Purdue is up fifty five to forty eight

in the first half, Number fourteen Saint John's leading Bucknell

(26:58):
Number twenty Tennessee on top of Tennessee State twenty nine
to six. When it comes to the NHL, the Capitals
are leading the Canadians one zero late in the first period,
just like the Islanders who are leading the Red Wings
one zero.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Late in the first period. Back to you guys, thank
you appreciate it, Moncie.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
It's the ad couple. Rob Parker kelvin Washington on a
TV themes Song Thursday, and for over forty years, sire
Rack's been helping customers find the right tires for how
for what, for where they drive shit fast and free
back by free Road has a protection with convenient installation
options like mobile tire insulation tire rack dot Com. It
(27:34):
is the way tire buying should be, rob You and
I have talked about it a handful of times, and
it's just something that won't go away. That is all
the drama happening in the Eagles. Got that report from
the Athletic. You got reporter Derek Gunn talking about there's
frustration with players that is growing around Jalen Hurts and
his approach to the season, and you got players saying
(27:56):
that they feel like he's trying to play his game
instead of taking what was discuss an actual game plan
between the coaches and the players, and throughout the week
transitioning into game day, Jalen Hurts, I'm gonna tell you
what he said. They will jump into it, he said,
I'm not surprised by anything. This is kind of the
nature of the position. Then he said, but I put
my energy in my focus on trying to go out
there and do my best and trying to learn, trying
(28:17):
to build, trying to take in things that I can
try and improve. I guess a lot of that attention
happens when things are going well, when things are not
going so well. I never run away from holding myself accountable,
and I think that's exactly what I've taken the approach
of doing. And then he goes on to say he
takes pride in offense and all the work and all
that good stuff.
Speaker 9 (28:37):
Rob.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
You know what, I this is interesting to me because
you and I have talked about it. Even I've been critical,
like of the offense, but I concede and agree with
you and that hey, they're winning twenty two of the
last twenty five he's been. He's been to two Super Bowls,
one to one, played out standing even in the one
he lost. So the thing that I makes it interesting
(28:59):
to me, right something, You've been covering this in sports
thirty forty years.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I've been doing this now for twenty years.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
It seems like usually there are times where media can
blow things up, especially once the debate shows started in podcasts.
You know, people, we take one little inkling of something
and making a thing. We that happens in media.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
This is the weird one for me, Rob because it's
coming from inside, like we have AJ Brown. It's not
like he's literally saying it while in the locker room,
like you know what I mean, and not like we
randomly hurt some tape or something. He's saying it on
twitches and tweets. Devontae Smith said something last year. Sirianni
and Jalen Hurts got into it last year early, Like.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
I'm actually confused on what is going on. Why they
don't see it as a as long as we're winning
and keeping the rest in the house. They're publicly saying it,
they're talking to reporters about it, and it's I'm genuinely
shocked by this considering the amount of winning they've done
twenty two or the last twenty five. Looks like they
could get right back to another Super Bowl, maybe repeat,
(29:59):
and yet we're having such public displays of division.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
And that's what makes it so weird to me.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
It's from Ludicris is dumb. It's stupid, and that's all
I can say. I've never seen.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Anything like it.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Surety the offense play better, we know it can. We
saw it in the Super Bowl. Stop it It's like,
it's not like they've scored seven points or nine points
for three years. We've seen this offense score. It's about winning.
People just need something to complain about. That's where we are.
(30:35):
They're boring because they win. Oh my god, yes, go ahead, Jalen.
Throw the ball around the yard, pick up three interceptions
and we lose and then people will be happy.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Is that what you want?
Speaker 5 (30:46):
I don't even understand. Jalen knows he wants to score
more than sixteen points. I just saw the numbers with
the Lions. When they lose their average, they scored sixteen points.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Right, Yeah, like the offense gets stifled.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah okay, but but somehow, some way, Jalen's making the
right plays, making the right situations, and they're still winning games.
It's about winning. Small sports has a short menu. I
can't say it enough. Sure they can work on the offense,
Sure they can play better. It ain't like they were
(31:19):
out a ceiling and this is the best that they
can play, because we've seen it and even the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
He played great in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
They lost.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
He had the one turnover, but he played. He played
better than Patrick Mahoons.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
You know what you know what rob and I think,
you know what, I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
I'm wondering if that's because if that's part of what's
making this uh, Robbie there, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Oh my bad, I'm sorry I could have hear what
this is.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
I'm wondering if because they saw the highest of the
highs with him airing it out in the Super Bowl
outdueled Patrick Mahomes even though they lost, but outduel, then't
look fantastic.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
And I'm wondering if that's in.
Speaker 8 (32:02):
The back of their brain, you know what I mean,
like this is what we should be or could be
that right now they are twenty fifth in total yards,
twenty eighth in passing, twenty ninth and third down conversions,
and I'm wondering if that is you know what I mean,
like they're looking at this is what we should be,
and if he has fallen like I talked about this
the other day with you in love with that he
only has one interception this entire season that his QBR
(32:25):
is really how I think he's fifth in total QBR
and I think he's like, I'm playing sound.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
And discipline even though he's not letting that thing rip
and I think.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
But my only argument with that is that just doesn't
make any sense to me. If you told me his
QBR was fourteenth or eighteenth, or you told me he
had he was number one in turnover Jory and all
those numbers and they were barely winning, that would make
sense to me, you know what I mean, Like he's
(32:55):
not playing well and the offense has to play better.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Like, I get it. You want to score more points,
you want to do stuff.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Also, looking there a lot of those hands, a lot
of those carries and handoffs or the tush push right,
that's a part of their offense, not looking for other
plays downfield, right like we saw it on a fourth
down in their own territory right against the Lions.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Well what are they doing? They they got the Lions
the ball back and that do.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You see what I'm saying? Like that that was a
toush push.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
I do believe some of this ribbed to your point,
some of this, and they were breaking it down. We
had some uh, there was some experts breaking down their offense.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
They are Manila, meaning away from just Jalen.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Like the schematics of it all, it ain't all on
him when our overall scheme is very manila, very basic
when you look at some of the other top teams
in the league. So I do think there's an element
of Jalen is just doing you know, a lot of what, Hey,
this is what we're trying to do, and this is
you know, kind of the game plan. But it does
baffle you. And if I was an Eagles fan, I
would be hyped there with I know a couple of
(34:01):
friends of mine who are like, what team. They're like,
this is a weird season where we're so happy we're winning,
but we're also nervous that why aren't we playing well?
So it is it's a weird season for them and
that and again the own division within the locker room.
Not one time rob not like oh we had you know,
arguments happened. This is a continual thing.
Speaker 11 (34:23):
But it.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Makes it makes no sense that this is a public story.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
It did.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
They should go to the offensive coordinator and to the
coach and say, hey, we need to open this up
or whatever. I just like, to me, this is just
another one of those people who are more worried about
their stats than anything. That's that's what it feels like
to me, because it's not enough to win. It's about
the one stats.
Speaker 8 (34:50):
Well only the only one caveat I'll add to that
is maybe there's concern that we're winning now, can we
win in playoffs if we're not producing?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
That will be my only But I don't even understand.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
It's the same quarterback who's who's balled out in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Right were running.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
It's one thing if you ever if he had never
done that, and you're worried about his first trip to
the super Bowl, are we gonna have enough points?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
We've seen him playing ball out.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
And maybe that's working to the kryptonite and that they're like, well,
why aren't you that right now? And maybe that's maybe
that's why you know what I mean, I've seen you
be that, I've seen you be dynamic, airing out.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Why aren't you that? All?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Right?
Speaker 8 (35:27):
On the way player today shekel city as well. Plus
somebody might be asking for a way out of their
city in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
We'll tell you what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
If you've ever wondered, wondered whatever became of me? I'm
living on the air in Cincinnati, Cincinnati, w k R
P Man.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
That's that that registers with me since I lived there
up and down the dial. Maybe even you were never
meant to be for me Once in a while. I'm
at WUKRP in Cincinnaty. It is the odd couple, Rob
(36:26):
Parker kelvin Washington, right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
And guess what it's time for Checko City.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
day Dicks against the scrap.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
All right, here we go two and one last night,
seventy nine and seventy is the record, seventy nine and seventy.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Here we go tonight. I'm taking the.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Bucks plus one and a half at home hosting the
seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I got Memphis minus three and a half.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
At home taking on the Siberia Kings, I mean Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
And I got the Hawks plus one and a half
on the road taking on the Spurs. So again, here
we go. My best bet, Bucks plus one and a
half at.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Home against the seventy six ers. I got Memphis minus
three and a half hosting the.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Kings, and the and the Hawks. I wanted to say Falcons, Hawks.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Getting one and a half points and beating uh taking
on the Spurs in San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I remember Kelvin. I'm not telling you who to bet on.
I'm telling you be okay. You feel you feel good?
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Now? Yeah, I do. Just you know, nevery not again.
You gotta get it out and it's time for the
tyreck player today.
Speaker 14 (37:57):
Bobs it off down load and Bruce Brown Brown shovel fast,
Payton watching jumpers up and in for Peyton watching in
a new career high forms at an even thirty for
he watched thirty.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
That is Nuggets Radio right there. And that's your tirect
player today. Brought to you by Tirack.
Speaker 8 (38:16):
For over forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, for what and for where
they drive shit fast and free back by free Road
has a protection with convenient installation shoptions like mobile tire
Installation tirack dot com. It is the way tire buying
should be run a short on time. So I really
(38:37):
don't want to use this one too much.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
We can tell you can always get back to it.
Speaker 8 (38:41):
Just yeah, but LaMelo Ball essentially, there's some reports that
he may want to get out of Charlotte that I
think they're four and eleven right now, and he's unhappy.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
My thing is this rop.
Speaker 8 (38:51):
I think he is a fantastic player to watch as
far as entertainment, like him in an All Star Game
would be crazy.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
But I don't think he is playing winning basketball. Like
I don't. I don't. I don't think, Okay, you go
to Minnesota, you know, you go to Atlanta.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
We were just talking about, like, I don't automatically think
the grit grass will be greener because I think he
has to learn how to play winning basketball and I
don't know if he's gonna stay healthy. Rob him and
Lonzo have been hurt their whole entire NBA careers, and I,
in my theory of played too much youth basketball.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
I watched both of them play when they were in
high school here.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
I lived when they were there.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Okay, and uh, it was the worst basketball I've ever seen.
I'm just he was.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
Remember he would stay on the other half of the
courtyard play.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
He wouldn't even play defense. He would just cherry pick
yep and they would throw the ball down. The coach
couldn't do anything, and the father was overbearing.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
It was awful, it was.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
And that's the non winning basketball you're talking about, and
that that's what they grew up with That's what That's
why they put up numbers.
Speaker 8 (39:51):
But they don't win him specifically. I think Lonzo, because
Lonzo will lock in defensively. Him being a little brother,
he got to kind of skate and slide a little bit.
And I just don't think, Okay, you go somewhere else.
Are you gonna be healthy? Are you going to be
part of the winning culture. I think he cares, but
I don't think if he knows what it takes to
win the day and day out grind of it on
the court, and so you know, good luck. I'm rooting
(40:14):
for him, but I just don't think he's ready for
what it takes to lead a franchise at this age.
You know what, I mean to just simply be If
you think just going somewhere else is gonna make it easier,
that's not the case.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I'm with you. I'm just I'm out on those guys,
both of them. I'm cool.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
And injuries too, that's the other thing I do. I
don't know if he's gonna be able to healthy enough
to really make a difference with another.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
Mello should probably LaMelo maybe play for the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
I think that might be fun.
Speaker 8 (40:42):
The Harlem Globe Trotters ain't paying two hundred mil. That
two hundred mil hit different
