Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Happy fourth of July. It is the Dan
Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. LaVar Arrington, Jonas
Knox in for DP and the guys. Now you can
hear LaVar and I and Brady Quinn weekday mornings before
the Dan Patrick Show on Two Pros and a Cup

(00:20):
of Joe six am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific, but
with Brady Quinn not here. LaVar, Arrington and I do
a show called Black and Drack because LaVar's LeVar, and
I'm really pale.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
So you play it with hold give better explanation than that. Well,
your your vampire and I'm a black man. I mean
that's correct. So there's my quota. So there's people that
they got to say my skate color every day. There's
my color. And I call Jonas Dracula Dracula's kid, Dracula's

(00:55):
brother cousin.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Because LaVar and LaVar claims that he saw me walk
in public one time and he was hunting and I
turned my head around in one hundred and eighty degrees
looking for something to sink my teeth. Inteah, I've seen it.
I'm just pale. I've seen it, but I've seen it.
It was the outfit.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
You totally fit all of the stereotypes of a if
it was a stereotype of a vampire in real life,
you fit the building in that man, you scared me.
That's the part, that's the part of the story that
you left out, Like I was sitting on my balcony,
like far enough, well far enough away for you not

(01:36):
to be able to determine exactly my my location on
my balcony.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
And then you know what was the most insulting piece
of it all is that I start walking back towards
the hotel and I've still didn't turn around, and var
it was walking backwards, LaVar started putting garlic inside a
paintball gun and firing it out.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh bruh, the balcony at me, I wouldn't have been
wrong startled me. So when you turned and was looking
around for bodies, and then your eyes went up and
met my eyes.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I see it's crazy. I see LeVar later, he's got
a flask on him, Like what a you got in there?
Is a holy water player. I'm not taking any chances
with you. Hell, your weird ass.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Weird ass. By the way, it is why you'd be
so awake in the morning. Now, I always tried to
figure out, why are you so awake in.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
The morning, bro, I have slept in the seventeen hundred.
That's your time to shine. It's still dark out.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
It has been a already an eventful fourth of July.
Or somebody, Now that's somebody we don't know. We just
know it's the somebody who's responsible for the pair of
panties that were laying in the courtyard. I mean, why
somebody got lucky there's a pair.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
In front of the studio and this this day and age,
this climate. Let me say, maybe somebody was unlucky. I
don't know. Somebody might have got caught up, or somebody
they got caught up in the wrap sure of love,
as Anita Baker.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
With I, would you just say that feels like something
you would want on you at all times unless things
went a certain way and and all of a sudden
you realize, yeah, you know you don't need that. You know,
maybe maybe want to get rid of the evidence. But me,
but here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
If it went down like that and you left your
panties like right then and there in the courtyard, of
this office building. Don't like I know it's the fourth
of July, but we're here. There's some people. That's all
the security goes.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Bit. I mean, when't somebody.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Clean them up, Like when somebody just you know, scoop
and score them into the trash can or something. They
just sitting right there for everybody to see. Just some
yellow panties. And by the way, not to nitpick here,
but it is fourth of July. You've got three colors
to choose from today.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yellow yellow wasn't on, then it's on. I'm just not
on the menu. So get it together next time. If
you're going to celebrate fourth a lie with a pair
of panties in the courtyard in front of the studio.
Red white or blue that's it? Or green class hat.
We are in La Great Point, Uh, that's uh. That's

(04:20):
what we're working with here on this fourth of July.
So hope everybody has a safe one. By the way,
we are brought to you by tire rack dot Com.
For over forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped Fast and Free backed by free Road, has a
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire
rack dot com the way tire buying should be all right,

(04:42):
So we've got conflicting reports here. Marykacabin of Cleveland dot
Com says that Kenny Pickett will have the advantage in
the Browns quarterback battle, writing Thursday that pickets superpower will
be his mobility that will enable the Browns to be
creative and unpred didictable in Stefanski's offense. Specifically, Kavit said

(05:03):
that Stefanski will give Picket more of an opportunity to
run the keepers, run pass options, and other plays that
rely on his strengths. Now The athletic Zach Jackson added
that Flacco, Joe Flacco, is the favorite to emerge from
a complicated four man quarterback competition and win the starting
job out of week one. All right, guess what everything's

(05:25):
on the table in Cleveland. Okay, this idea that like,
one guy's got the advantage, No, the other guy's got
the advantage. Aren't they all kind of in the same spot.
It's a team that nobody really expects a whole lot from.
You're probably a stopgap quarterback because of all the picks
you acquired for next year in the trade with Jacksonville.

(05:46):
So this idea that, well, Flaco's got the advantage, Kenny
Pickett's got the advantage. Dude, who's to say Dylan Gabriel
and should or Sanders don't have the advantage. Everything should do,
everything should be on the table.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Though in Cleveland say this everything in theory, what you're
saying is correct. But you have a forty year old
Joe Flacco who has a body of work, and it's no,
it's really in a way, it's really no different than
Aaron Rodgers. Both have one super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Granted, people, oh, I'm outraged. Aaron Rodgers has all of
these these MVP awards and dah dah dah, he's a
first ballot Hall of Famer. You're right, but not today.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know what he is today. You know what he
is today, sad.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
A guy over forty that's going into what could perceivably
be his last year of football and he has one
super Bowl championship kind of sounds the same to me.
I mean, Joe Flacco forty, he's got a Super Bowl,
did really well, so he has a body of work
to stand on. Kitty Pickett is still sitting on a

(06:57):
limited resume. He didn't do horribly bad in Pittsburgh. There
were elements that could have been working against him in Pittsburgh,
and it's led to him having an early departure from
maybe possibly being what the Steelers could have used or
needed as a, you know, starting quarterback. He was a
winning record quarterback when he departed Pittsburgh for Philly. Gets

(07:22):
an opportunity to learn from from that staff in Philadelphia.
He claims, oh, by the way, not as a starter,
but he too has a super Bowl ring on his
resume as well, got playing time in that Super Bowl. Okay,
that counts. You have two super Bowl winning quarterbacks on

(07:42):
your roster. I believe those are the Those are if
you're saying everything's on the table for consumption, those are
the main courses. Those are the one that's the turkey
you brought out, that's the ham you brought out, it's
the fourth of July. That's the ribs that you brought through. Like,
that's those two right there now. As it applies to

(08:03):
Dylan Gabriel and Shador Sanders, I just honestly believe, and
especially now that we've seen the coverage of Shador Sanders
seemingly kind of cool off the overwhelming amount of coverage
on him. I think was placing a target on Stefanski

(08:26):
in this Cleveland Browns team.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
But that has kind of it's tailed off.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
A little bit, and now it looks as though you're
getting into what it's really going to be going into
the training camp season, and I think that it's a
reality to say that they're not factors in getting on
the field. In fact, the biggest the biggest win for

(08:50):
Gabriel and for Sanders would be able to make the
active roster or possibly get on the practice squad and
see what happens from there. Does another team try to
claim your rights or whatever it may be. It may
end up putting you in a different situation on a
different team. But that's the reality for these these rookies

(09:12):
that that is tremendous. That is a tremendous hill to
climb to go from the fifth round to starter. It
is a tremendous climb to go from third round to starter.
When you have two guys that are in front of
you that are veterans and one has a lot of potential.
He's not he's not he's not counted out. As being

(09:32):
just a bust of a draft for the Steelers. He
still has some potential and he's young. The other is older,
and you feel a little bit of comfort knowing that
if it doesn't work with this younger guy, that could
potentially be what we need. We have Joe Flacco to
put in that can steady and write the ship probably
be a great influence on the locker room. So Jonas,

(09:54):
I think that it's really not everything's on the table.
If you're looking at the two rookies, you're probably looking
at it. There's your corn right there, there's your corn
on the cop there's your macaroni and cheese, whatever it
may be. They're side dishes, but they are far from
the main dish in this course.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
My thought on it is this, I think everything should
be on the table because it's the Browns and the
situation they're in. They should not be closed minded to
any option at quarterback. And you know, you made some
comments a few weeks back about listen, just make suit
or the starter, like at this point, just make them
the starter, and you know, you got pushback on that

(10:32):
and some blowback, and my thought was, well why not,
Like why is everything just a surefire bet that it's
going to be Flacco or it's gonna be Kenny Pickett.
Open this thing up, and whoever plays the best you're
gonna get the opportunity to. There shouldn't be any politics,
There shouldn't be any contractual obligation added into the mix.

(10:53):
Kenny picks, Tanny Picket's not on a long term deal,
neither is Joe Flacco, and Dylan Gabriel and shad Or
Sanders are mid round picks. So I look at it,
I go, everything should be open for discussion when it
comes to this. Nobody's opinion or theory should be considered crazy.
Everything should be under this open for discussion. I think
it'll be Flacco because I don't think Kevin Stefanski's got

(11:15):
the wiggle room to be able to survive another bad
year and then come back next but he has the
wiggle room to just throws the door Sanders in as
I think. I think Kevin Stefanski is looking at this going, dude,
I need to go with what's going to save my job.
I personally feel like that's going to be Joe Flacco,
but I don't think Stefanski's in a position to be
like oh no, no, no, no, no, no, I've got time

(11:38):
or I've got this. I can I can kind of,
you know, play with this or experiment with that. If
I'm Kevin Stefanski, I'm like, look, I know what this
organization has. They've got multiple first round draft picks next year.
Next year is a much better that's the opinion from
the experts, much better quarterback draft class. But I've got
to produce at some point now or else I'm not

(12:01):
going to be here next year. And if I'm Stefanski,
he's got to take a look at everything everything to
figure out what is what is my best path to
try and keep my gig. I think it's going to
be Flacco. But this idea that like, well, no, it's
it's this and so and so's got the advantage and
that person's got the advantage. Dude, you have no idea.
Until you get to training camping into games, you have.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
No clue the real the real measurement here is it's
very difficult to be able to see if a rookie
that's never played is ready. You can get an indicator
of their their IQ by how they pick up the playbook,
how they handle their reads on on the field, how
they even give the the play call, how they command

(12:47):
the team, you know, and how they approach the play.
But until you're in a game, a real game, not
even a preseason game, a real game where they can
hit you and everything matters and everything counts. This is
not for scrimmage for play, This is not for s's

(13:07):
and giggles. This is real bullets in the chamber that
are coming at you. Now in those games, there are
only two guys that have those types of reps under
their belts. There are only two guys that have that
type of film on their resume, and it's not those rookies.
So if everything that you're saying is to remain and
hold true that this is his time to do it,

(13:29):
or get off of the esser and move on and
let somebody else get on the pot, then he is not.
To me. That is not a wise and a prudent
move to put in a third rounder or a fifth
rounder to start.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I just don't see it.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
And there's no reason to have had Picket or or
Flacco on the roster if that's what you were going
to do, because you may lose your job by the
end of the third, fourth week, fifth week. You may
lose your job depending on how badly or how poorly
they look. That's the potential of what you face now. Granted,

(14:07):
if you did it and it works out, that's different.
That's different. You look like a genius. Nobody has anything
to say, Oh my gosh, we said this all along,
boom boom boom. But who is that? Which rookie is
that I don't even think we know which rookie that is.
Like you said, there's been reports like that, have been
conflicting reports on who's actually having the most impact as

(14:29):
a rookie on the mini cats and the.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
OTAs that have taken place.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
So to me, right now, the most feasible approach to this,
if I'm Stefanski in the Cleveland Browns, is to go
with the guy that you know is going to give
you the best opportunity to win. That sounds cliche but
in a redundant but that's what it is. I think
that's Joe Flacco. If they're giving it the Kenny Pickett

(14:55):
based off of where they are right now, I wouldn't
say it's totally egregious. All I would say is is
that he's not going to have a whole lot of time.
If he doesn't get in there and show that he
can get it done and they can make things work
very quickly, very early, I would not be surprised if
it's shifted to Flaco as quickly as possible. If Flaco

(15:17):
doesn't get it done, he stays in. Listen, he stays
in as the starting quarterback, and they're going to try
to figure it out for the duration of the season.
And the only way pick it comes back in is
if Flaco gets hurt and can't continue on and then
only then will that show or give any relevance to

(15:38):
those rookies as to what they may do. Again, I
still believe this is a boom or bust proposition with
Shador Sanders if you're not really working to get him
into that rotation of playing, I don't really see that
they have the value that it holds value to hold
four quarterbacks. One of those, one of those draft picks

(15:59):
face get released from that team. And I'm telling you,
fifth round pick versus third round pick, it's a no
brainer that it's the fifth round pick. Take the names
out of it. It's a no brainer that if you're
going to release a quarterback on your team when you
can when you're generally only carrying two to three quarterbacks

(16:22):
at that position, there's a strong possibility that Gabriel ends
up on the practice squad and Shador Sanders ends up
going elsewhere, becoming a free agent through release.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I mean sometimes when I'm betting on horses, because I
don't know what the hell I'm doing, I'll just bet
like four horses to win and be like, you know,
I mean, something's got to hit. You know, it's like
the ten to twelve horse fields. Something's got to hit.
I do that would Roulette? Oh yeah, you bet the inside.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
And it'll beat the hell out of you trying to
come up with what you think, what strategy is going
to win.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Here's what's great about this, you can. I think you
can bet on the Browns starting quarterback. Would literally place
a bed on all four because I think anything could happen.
I really do, like they're they're in such a spine.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I've done that in Roulette and it landed on Green.
Took all my money. I think Lee was with me.
I put all this cash down on evens odds black Red.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
That bit's hit Green. Oh yeah, I wouldn't. I would
never gamble again.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Took all my cas I mean, I put it all
out there.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, I'd be looking ashtrays, I'd be uh, I'd be
jumping in the Blagio fountain like it'd be.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
That's terrible. You want to know the point. You want
to know the ultimate point of that story. Maybe these
quarterbacks are red and black and evens and odds, you
don't have any green on your team. Maybe you're green
is rehabbing.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Or.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Maybe maybe you're green. Maybe you're green is rehabbing. Maybe
maybe he's sitting there and and in the wings he's
getting healthy. Everybody he's talking about all these quarterbacks right here.
What are you gonna do with her? These guys? He's steady, rehabbing,
getting healthy. And then he comes back like Superman and
in a moment of glory and is now made whole

(18:15):
with his big contract and lives up to all of
the expectations he had coming in.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
The NFL's most expensive mentor.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
That would be an amazing That would be an amazing
storyline that developed.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
We appreciate you spending your fourth of July with us.
It feels like things are starting to heat up. People
are out and about. When is it too early to grill? Like,
when do you go It's just a bit too early
because it's eight am right now.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know a lot of people a grilled yesterday and
prepared the grilling to finish it off today because a
lot of times people don't like to wait on the
food that they want to eat when you're grilling, and
grilling is a process.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, but isn't that what like little appetizers are for.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah, grilling is a process, my guy. So when you're
entertaining people and you're telling them we grilling, it's a
it's a process. Very few people to me are successful
same day grillers. You gotta have you gotta have that
thing ready to go. You gotta have what you got
going on ready to go where you can get it done.

(20:11):
Like for me, put it to you like this. Can
you grill something that is quick and easy? Burgers, hot dogs,
stuff like that?

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Steaks?

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Sure you could do that, But if you're talking about
what like for me, historically, ribs have always been what
is connected to fourth of July? Ooh, that's right, finger
looking good ribs, even though that is a pause statement
these days, that's those legs are are amazing on the
chickens that are going to be eight today by the way,

(20:43):
and the arms.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Geez.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
But when you're cooking, when you're cooking certain types styles
of ribs, like I like to smoke my ribs for
like six hours literally low temp about two fifty. Smoke
them bad boys out, just all the way smoked out.

(21:09):
Make sure that they're nice and moist and juicy, and
you know, spray with the little mist and then you
can keep it. Thank you, then you and then they're
just ready to be seared, you know, straight up grilled
the next day.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Sounds delicious, right, dear God.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's good you grill them and then you add that
that sauce to them. I like putting mustard as the
base of my barbecue sauce. Put some honey in there,
put some garlic in there. Yeah, man, and you know
it's good to go. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
I mean, I just feel like, you know, doing it
a day in advance movie isn't in all that necessary,
But I mean i'll get it better. In fact, you
cook the SATs the day before too. And let me
tell you something. If anybody's got a problem, anybody that
doesn't like it, it's taking too long for the food
to get ready. All right, take your fat ass to
McDonald's in you didn't have any of this food. Glad

(22:06):
they gotta be back.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
That's just how you saw it in your head from
all that corn bread.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I guess you don't like you can get the Mickey
D's go to seven to eleven. Here's a pack of
Werther's originals. Want't you chew on that while I get
the food ready. People trying to make demands when you're
cooking food for him, take a walk. I bet you.

(22:35):
I bet you.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Sam's people got some corn from when he was in
Field of Dreams. We got Iowa Sam. If y'all didn't notice,
we got Ayo with Sam up in here right now.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, uh it's uh, this could have a have an
Iowa Sam, you know, hanging out. It's part of the
main event again. Yeah, you know that is nice.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
He rolled out on us, now, he made he made
it a point, that is, he made it a point.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
To roll out on us.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
But we've met back up again on the DP show
and now we're three and now.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
For those for those of you that are just tuning
in if you missed the start of the show, let's
go ahead and give you a quick update here. I
will say, IM just arrived into the studio a short
time ago. Came in. Were the yellow panties still in
the courtyard as you walked in? Yes?

Speaker 6 (23:29):
I think they were more of like a muted light green,
but dirty nonetheless.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
You know, he checked him out. He looked at him.
He said, at us, that's it scratching there are they? Sam?
Are they comfortable at least? Yeah? It fit my head
really well. Yeah, for whatever reason, LeVar and I were
walking into the studio today and there's just some yellow

(23:56):
panties right there.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Okay, they were yellow and now the green. And I
gotta say, I'm a person I have. Someone was just
leaving hot yoga. They're like, yeah, I don't want to
wear these anymore. I've seen a few panties hit the
ground in my day. Those were definitely some dumb panties
dropped and just stayed there.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
So now that I'm really thinking about it, in an
hour three and we're bringing it back up.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Now that I'm really really thinking about it, something popped
off in that stairwell or at somebody's car work straight, maybe.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Talk about a draw dropping man.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Whoever that person was there that they have earned the
title forever more drawls dropper.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, and uh, I'm still just sitting out there. So
that is that is what we walked into. I wonder
if they come back, like I remember, I remember I
was at we were.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
At Halloween party and Trisha dislocated her pinky toe all right,
walked into it like we were. Everybody was partying. We
were drinking out of She hits her toe off the
corner of a walkway, a doorway walkway right, dislocates her toe.
But she's fried. I'm fry. Everybody fry. We had amazing

(25:22):
parties we used to have in Annapolis, if you know,
you know. I take her to the emergency room, Jodas.
She's at the emergency room, I drop her off so
I could park the car. I drop her at the
front and she goes walking in. I parked the car.
I'm coming walking in and I see a flip flop
at the front door. Then I see another flip flop

(25:44):
right in front of the check in desk. And she's
not there.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
So I see it at the front door. I was like,
do I pick it up now? I walked in. I
was like nope. Then I saw another one. I was like, oh,
it's the other one. Do I pick it up up? Nope?
She left them. I would sat down.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
I was.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
I sat down.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
They was looking at me. Those ladies behind the counter,
they were looking at me like you know, he knows
those are her flip flops. Why he ain't pick them up?

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Girl? Why he ain't picking them up? I was scared
to death.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Oh god, I thought they was gonna come get me,
like I thought some cops was gonna come get me,
like they thought.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I might have beat my woman up like that. Oh yeah,
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
At first, but but look look at first I'm fried.
So I didn't pick it up because I'm like, man,
we walking in this joint. We've been drinking, Dada died
this that the other right, I'm not picking up that
flip flop. Then I don't pick up the second one
because I ain't pick up the first one. Then I
sat down. I was like, the way these shorties is
looking at me. They looking at me like I might

(26:48):
have did something, which was great.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Anyway, that's what made me think about, is she walks
back in here today or he whoever they belonged to it.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
They look like that belonged to a woman, but could
be a dude these days.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
If they come walking back through here today and they're
still there, do you pick them up? If they were yours,
if you're the one that left them there, do you
pick them up?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
That's my question? Yeah, yeah, why not listen to the
inflation these days? That stuff's expensive. So if you can
pick up the I mean you just got to hope that. No,
like there's we've got rodents that run around here. You
better hope that a tang you never rat, you know,
try and partake in the thong song with where.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
There they're scratching sniffers too. Huh hyah oh yeah, big
time got this red.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, he loves he loves the sentim he string wearing red.
Those weren't streaks, it was full backed. I did pick
that up now, I do know this. Whoever was wearing
those I mean need to pay attention because if you're

(28:02):
still driving that trusty old ride, keep it looking sharp
with Mako from dentse to faded paint. We've got you covered.
Get a free estimate today. Ut oh, better get Maco,
all right. So that being said here on this fourth
of July, we do have a little bit of an
issue that's currently taken place in the NFL, not really
getting talked about a lot, but there's a lot of

(28:25):
players who got something in common, right, So these players
who have something in common are called thirty of the
thirty two second round picks because they haven't signed their
contracts yet. And the reason they haven't signed their contracts
yet is because the two other guys got guaranteed contracts.
Jaden Higgins, the thirty fourth pick from the Texans, he

(28:48):
became the first second round pick to ever get a
fully guaranteed contract. The Browns followed suit with Carson Schwessinger,
the linebacker, the thirty third pick. They gave him a
fully guaranteed deal. So now every player in the second
round wants a guaranteed deal. Wait, if those two guys
are getting it, I'm getting one too. And so none
of them are signed because they're trying to figure this

(29:09):
out and training camps are starting up in a couple
of weeks, and so we caught up with Albert Breer
of the MMQB and he explained sort of what the
waiting game is and how this thing is going to
play out.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
It sort of depends on, like, you know, each one
of these deals and when the first person does a
deal that isn't fully guaranteed. And the lynchpin right now
is Tyler shuck the quarterbacks and the Saints because that
comes with the quarterback premium, right, A shuck is a
fully guaranteed deal at forty, then everybody before forty is
going to ask for it. So if you were kicked
before forty, you're waiting on that right like. Meanwhile, on

(29:41):
the other end of the spectrum, Judkins of course has
the fact that the Swassenger got the fully guaranteed deal,
so now he wants what his teammate got em And
Wauria of course is going to wait to see if
the Browns double down on what they did with Sweastnger
with Judkins. If I'm not mistaken, Swastnger signed one after Higgins.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, correct, and so now and so that's what created.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
The whole I knew it was the Texans that that
created it. So it's not Jimmy in particular. But if
he does two fully guaranteed deals for guys to the
top of the second round, I think, you know, you
do get some side as of it.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
So you've got Jimmy Haslam at it again. And the
Deshaun Watson connection and ties to all this are hilarious
because look, former former Houston Texan for current Cleveland Brown,
I mean basically former Cleveland Brown at this point, and
you've got two guaranteed deals getting done. Jimmy Haslm is

(30:36):
part of one of them. He's got another pick in
Junkins who's coming up that if he gives him the
fully guaranteed deal as Ouvert laid out. So Jimmy Hasselm,
I just I can't imagine that the opinion of Jimmy
Haslam from owners around the NFL is very high. If
he were to give another guaranteed contract to this other
second rounder, I can't imagine that would land well with owners.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, but he's set a tone and he's set in
the standard that he wants to set for him. And Cleveland,
I mean, Cleveland is one of those teams where you
kind of do you want to go play there? Or
do you not want to go play there?

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (31:22):
It's possible.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
I feel like the reason why I became a guaranteed
deal with Deshaun Watson is because he felt as though
this is a measuring contest. If if I'm saying I
want to get you to Cleveland over Atlanta, had to
do it? Had I mean, if we're being honest, if

(31:44):
I if I'm looking, if I'm weighing it out, like
I'll give you a great example when I when I
became a free agent, I had the choice between Miami,
Green Bay, and the Giants, So New York work. Now,
if I was just going for weather, I would have

(32:05):
took less money and went to Miami. They offered less
money than the other two. If I was going for
the money, I would have went to Green Bay because
they offered the most. But I went to New York
because I like the market. I thought the market was
a better market for me to try to finish out
my career. So I say that to say, if you

(32:28):
have if you have choices in the matter, then if
I'm hazelum, I want to build. I want to build
a reputation that they take care of our we take
care of our players, we pay our players. And while
Cleveland is a beautiful place to visit, in a beautiful
place to see, I want to make it so that
it's a place that you want to make destinational. If

(32:52):
I'm a free agent, if I get drafted, this is
what I like. I'm excited at the possibilities of what
could exist here. On the defensive side of the ball.
He just gave out a big ass contract. On the
offensive side of the ball, they gave out the biggest contract.
I mean, if that's pissing off other owners, oh well,

(33:13):
oh well, you know what else pisses off other owners?
Bob Kraft, who wins every other year, when he did
you know, when you're winning, I'm sure that pisses off
other owners. I'm sure they're trying to figure out how
they can level up and be in the position that
you're in. So to me, if you're in the spotlight

(33:35):
for spending money as an owner and there's other owners
that have a problem whether you spending that money, then
you winning some way, somehow, even in being a mediocre
franchise wins wise.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Have they ever won a Super Bowl? I don't think
they've ever won a Super Bowl. Yeah, I've never been
to the Super Bowl. Bang, you gotta win. In other ways,
they went to the ANFC time don't game a couple
of times.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Man with with with Marty Yeah with the drive, Yeah, man,
Ernest's dog driving the fumble.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
That's the Browns. That's all.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
So what I'm saying is you gotta you gotta compensate
in some way. They say little the littlest dude drive
the loudest cars. I don't know what that is, but
they say that's what it is, Well, you got to
compensate for what you don't.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Now I would say this, dude, just to clarify, just
to clarify the just to fight the issue that we
just to clarify the issue that we have here. We've

(34:43):
got We've got Sam with a revolver at the.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Sam.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
That's a straight up gunfight of it. Sam. Sam just
walked out of the Okay Corral with the revolver and
sp But no. The other like the other part of
this as well too, that that I find that we
should point out and clarify is when I say that

(35:12):
the Browns have never won a Super Bowl, I mean
tech kind they kind of have because they are the Ravens.
You know that they did move to Baltimore, and Baltimore
did win two Super Bowls. So if you weren't a
sellout and you actually followed for the love of your
team and were loyal to the brown that Browns franchise,

(35:34):
your original team, yeah you were.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
You know, you are a Super Bowl Tan And in fact,
even though you got to do it in Baltimore, whatever.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
You've got to uh, you've got a team there. And
by the way, if you grew up in if you
grew up in Ohio and you're a Browns fan?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Are you that?

Speaker 1 (35:47):
I mean, what's the difference. You don't live if you
don't live in Cleveland, if you live in Chillicothee and
you grew up a Browns fan, What do you care
that they moved a ball? You do know if Q
was on right now, he would.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
Have just that.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Now I'm done. When the cat's away, Mike will play baby.
But in all serious well, it's like the Rams when
they moved to St.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
I used would I got a kick out of that
when the Rams moved to Saint Louis winning all kinds
of Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I know guys that you followed them to Saint Louis, Like,
what do I care? Like, yeah, they moved, Okay, so
I can't I can't go drive to a game. What
does it matter to me? But in all seriousness, when
you look at the Brown situation, it's like, yeah, maybe
Jimmy has Them's Like, look, man, I don't have beaches
and palm trees that I can sell, Like I can't.
I can't sell to make this appealing. But like, now

(36:51):
you've got the Texans and you've got the Browns who
have basically put thirty other picks on notice, like, hey,
we're willing to do this anybody else. And one of
those does belong to Jimmy has But it's just nobody's
really talked about that, And you can't be if you're
an agent and you are just encouraging your play. Just

(37:13):
get a deal done. Just get a deal done. And
you're the first to sign a non guarantee contract in
the second round. That's just a terrible look. That's the
terrible what they're gonna say about you, Like they be
looking at you sad as, Yeah, are you one of us?
Or what about were all this together?

Speaker 2 (37:31):
And that? So I don't think they look at it
looking at it like I got my guarantee contract, Doug.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
God, how they looking at it like why you didn't
get it? So we will. We'll get to see whether
or not those guys get signed anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Speaking of the fourth of July. It is the annual
Nathan Dog Eating Contest, Nathan Top Dog Eating Contest, and
so they do this in Coney Island. Last year did
not have Joey Chestnut because there was some some issue
he was with a competing sponsor. Because the Nathan Hot
the blowhards at the Nathan Top Dog Eating Contest thought

(38:21):
that their event was more important than Joey Chestnut, which
is preposterous. Here's what else is preposterous. If you are
one of these professional athletes and you're a degenerate, flunky gambler,
if you're you know, a Johntay Porter Malik Beasley, who
knows maybe a Luis Ortiz, Like, if you're one of

(38:42):
these guys who likes to go out and uh kind
of throw a few bucks around and you like to
gamble on some stuff, we got good news for you.
According to DraftKings, there's plenty of opportunities for you to
gamble on the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Now. Uh,
the contest winner being Joey Chestnut overwhelming favorite eighteen to one.

(39:04):
All right, so Joey Chestnut is the favorite, uh, followed
by Patrick Bertoletti, James Webb, Jeffrey Esper, and then the
field somebody else apparently not listed, but you do have
the over under props on the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest,

(39:24):
which are real eye opening. The over under on hot
dogs eating, according to our friends at DraftKings for Joey Chestnut,
is seventy and a half. Yeah, jow down, wide load.

(39:45):
He ain't gonna get that. That's under. Okay, boy, are
you fat? That's seving a lot of meat in your mouth?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Man? Boom boom boom.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Now, I mean, love, boy, are you fat? What man
in their right mind fat?

Speaker 2 (40:16):
We'll want to shove that much meat in their mouth.
I just don't understand that to win a contest. But sorry,
here's here's the here's the part seventy. I'm sorry, here
is the part that is uh that is really bizarre
to me. The fact that's seventy is even an option,

(40:36):
and a realistic option, is completely disgusting. We're talking about, like, hey,
how many of those things you could fit, you could
squeeze in your mouth in ten minutes?

Speaker 1 (40:46):
How many of those things you can eat? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
You can eat?

Speaker 1 (40:50):
No, I can't, reverend, I can't eat seventy. I can't.
It's disgusting. And for some reason, every year does big
members they roll it out. There's been to my understanding,
there's been no choking. Nobody is. Nobody is choked or
need to be resuscitated because they put too many hot

(41:11):
dogs and they're they're dipping the hot dogs not exploded.
It's oh my, I'm just like, I'm not even trying
to be funny right now.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Seventy hot dogs consumed and what like five minutes heads
ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
I actually have an answer for you on this chestnut.

Speaker 7 (41:28):
He trains by stretching his stomach with milk from goats
from the andes because they have high calcium content.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
I don't understand. I don't understand it.

Speaker 7 (41:38):
Apparently he yeah, he fasts and then he stretches his
stomach out with milk, water and protein, protein supplements because
he's not fat.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
No, he's only like two forty. Boy, are you fat?

Speaker 2 (41:52):
That's bigger than I would have thought. He doesn't even
look like he's to forty. I know this.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
How old is he? I think he's like thirty six.
I think he's like thirty six, like the dude that
was popular before him. I mean, he's good with the
dude that was popular before, an Asian dude that.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
He's Skinny's Gabriashi from uh from Usual Suspects, Yeah, different one,
but yeah, probably he's little.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
Yeah, and these people be eating all that meat. Man,
I don't understand how old shoey Chestnutley.

Speaker 7 (42:24):
It's forty one forty one six foot one, between two
twenty five and two forty depending.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
On what you're he's eating twenty sound more actively, he's
eating so many hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Like his skin looks like a catcher's mitt, Like it's
just it's just weathered because from hot dog eating, just
the sodium, the every just infiltrating his his hide, if
you will, like he just like do you just look
at the guy's face. It's like, I just I don't
understand it. I really don't. I'll go to his number.

(42:56):
Twos are wicked.

Speaker 6 (42:58):
God.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
They wave to him when they come out, tang bye.
Thirty five, thirty sixty, forty three, forty.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
Die.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
I don't it stole the fact that seventies even on
the table, Like, hey, how do you think you do
all that at all? Seventy? I don't. I wouldn't have
seventy hot dogs in three years combined. This guy's doing it,
that's a fair number. This guy's doing it in ten minutes,
whom that's wow. Man, I just don't understand. How did

(43:40):
You're like, okay, you train with with with the goat
milk in the water. That sounds more disgusting than the
hot dogs. It really does. Like you're climbing up a
mountaintop to go milk a goat and then you bring
it back down and you use that to get your
stomach ready for seventy hot dogs a minute. That's a kid.

(44:05):
He does he do that? Goat milk at high altitude?
Goat milk from the ander is that what you said?

Speaker 7 (44:12):
Or from the get him from the Andes because of
the altitude, they have high calcium content in their milk, so.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
He doesn't drink it in the Andes and at the
high altitudes, which that would be interesting to see if
he could do it with the high altitude.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
You think that guy could make it in high altitudes.
He's an athlete, man, I think he's an athlete. I
think he gives his body to the sport, to the
profession he does. Do you think Joey Chestnuts an athlete
in a way? Yes, kind of like the way a
NASCAR driver is an athletes. It's different, all right, then
that bum outside as a homebuilder, I mean.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
The guy who dropped the panties. Technically they are home builders,
all right. I mean, do you have to specify what
materials you're building with?

Speaker 1 (45:00):
A home is a home.

Speaker 6 (45:01):
From panties to shanties, all the world records he holds,
and it's like pages and.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Pages of home is where the heart is. I guess.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
You know, like I.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
But it does bring up the question though, if you
what could you eat the most of in ten minutes?

Speaker 6 (45:18):
And I thought of what could you eat the most
of in ten minutes? Jonas Bell Pepper's for you. No,
they just that's all you eat, right, that wouldn't lamb.
You know what I can't eat a lot of, and
it's it's very interesting.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Deviled eggs.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I like deviled eggs'll kill you. I like deviled eggs.
That's a good pool.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
I never really looked.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
I never really thought about how many deviled eggs I'd
eat at one time. But I do eat a lot
of twenty I probably could not four, not five, not six.
You know, Church makes this crab soup and it's like
a bisc it's almost like a lobster bisk, but it's
like soup. I could probably, like I go through at

(46:04):
least three big ass bowls of that soup.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
I could eat.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
I could probably and I would get sick because I
eat it. It's so good that I get like super
super overly fool. I could possibly eat a whole pot
of that soup by myself, which would feed like five
or six people.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
In ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
I mean, because that's probably not I probably couldn't like
scoop it up that quickly, but I definitely I think
I could get through it.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Though. Well, let me ask you this. You think you
can eat seventy hot dogs in ten days? That's seven
hot dogs? Yeah, I could. I could do seven weeks.
I feel good, though, my god, and ten days seventy
hot dogs.

Speaker 6 (46:52):
I mean, I remember going on a camping trip. I
had all these hot dogs left over. I came back
and I PAIDO much eight hot dogs as every meal
for like three days, and I felt so bad.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
I gotta give you guys news. I mean, maybe it's
culturally speaking, but growing up eating spam, eating eating I.

Speaker 6 (47:08):
Think spam's better for you than hot dogs honestly, See,
it's all the same idiot.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Yeah, it's kind.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Of the same to me eating eating sardines, mustard sardines,
Vianna sausages, it meat.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Like bro I ate that growing up. And let me
tell you something.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
One of the delicacies that we had every single day
was microwaved hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Microwaved hot dogs. Now do you kind of slit in
the hot dog so it doesn't explode? No? But I
used to. I used to wrap them in in a
wet uh, like a wet napkin? Did move? We used
to do hot dogs in a tortilla. You do wrapping
in a tortilla? You ever have them in a croissant
or not a csantanket?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Right?

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah? Yeah, not a croissant though, but the crescent roll.
Put it in the crescent roll. You ever do that?

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (47:56):
That is pigs in a blanket, right, yeah, pig in
a blanket.
