(00:00):
US on ninety five nine Fox SportsRadio. We now know who will be
featured in the regular hard knocks,Knocks, not the training camp hard knocks
or the ot what I don't know, the one the Jets is in.
Then there's the The Jets were inlast season's hard Knocks, the Giants are
(00:21):
in the preseason hard knocks, theoff season hard Knock okay, and then
the end season hard Knocks. Wedon't know yet, but the the og
hard knocks, the the hardest ofknocks, some some might might say,
is going to be the Chicago Bears. The Bears, they were one of
I think only two teams that couldn'tsay no, you get the number one
(00:44):
overall pick, in Caleb Williams,you get just should be a very talented
team, but a coaching staff thatmay or may not already be on the
hot seat depending about how they develop. Caleb Williams, what do you think?
Are you excited about the Bears?I am. I saw the Bears
pop up, and I'm like,you know, what if I actually could
(01:06):
pick a team that I'm the mostinterested in this offseason, Chicago's now on
the list. Now that answer haschanged. Pre drafted, post draft because
headed end of the off season,I think I mentioned the Vikings, I
was interested in, the Falcons,I was interested in, but in the
Jets. A lot of those thingshave already gone. Now what I'm fascinated
by is the Bears and how thenumber one overall pick, the number one
(01:26):
high school quarterback prospect in the countryduring the COVID year the player that really
shouldn't be on the Bears. Andwe all know what that means, because
the Bears weren't the worst team inthe NFL. There were seven to nine
and one last year. How arethey going to handle this? And there's
a few other things to this,Like the first storyline that's now jumped out
to me recently is did you realizeCaleb Williams isn't wearing thirteen for Chicago?
(01:49):
I didn't. I haven't paid muchattention to him yet. What is I
think a lot of people didn't realizehe wasn't wearing thirteen because thirteen was open
and there were two players who couldwear thirteen this season for the Bears,
Keenan Allen, who's a thirteen yearveteran who's worn thirteen basically his entire career
in the NFL and the number oneoverall picked the hype around Caleb Williams and
it came down to that, andthe story goes that Caleb Williams said,
(02:10):
whoa Keenan Allen gets the first rightto that number. I'm the rookie,
he gets it. If you wantlike that, that's pretty cool. Now,
Caleb Williams is gonna wear eighteen.That's the number he wore in high
school, so it's like thirteen witha connection. Yeah, I would like
to see how that played out.I don't know if Hard Knocks cameras are
there for that, but I'm surethat'll be a discussion at some point this
(02:31):
summer. And also just the personalityof Caleb Williams, because you and I
heard some of the odd criticisms ofhe's a little bit more flamboyant, He's
a little bit more I made me. Yes, I made that like I'll
I'll wear it. The crying duringthe game, the nail polish, the
pink phone, the like, andagain, I yo, do do you
(02:54):
like? Do you? But youra hen? Now Hard Knocks is there,
tell me, tell me you're undera microscope without telling me you're on
a microscope. Gonna be on HardKnocks this season, like you're inviting more
questions, like you're inviting them.So if you if you're good with it,
if your if your back is thatstrong and you can, or your
shoulders are that wide, or whateverit is, rock and roll me,
(03:16):
I would probably be a church bounce. So I'd be the quietest thing you
ever heard until I knew I couldactually play. He again, let me
go back. I want to makesure I understand what you're talking about there
that like Caleb Kayle was then decidethough, are you saying the bear should
have protected him here? And they'dbe like, no, I'm saying when
you show up on TV and getthe nail polish and a pink phone,
(03:36):
and you didn't, Okay, maybeyou didn't decide to be on television at
a sporting event at your your schoolwhere you're being drafted out of where you're
sitting. What he was front row? He didn't decide. You know that
model was on the catwalks. Shedidn't tell you to take her picture like
you know you he knew what hewas. He was gonna go out and
(03:58):
get a little attention. And I'mI'm I'm just saying that when you do,
like, look at all right,completely different end of the spectrum.
Look at Aaron Rodgers last year.Aaron Rodgers is everywhere. He wants the
attention. We've only seen him outonce so far this year, and it
was at a Yankee game that MarcusStroman invited him to because now he needs
to prove he play again before hegoes and gets all these other questions coming.
(04:20):
When you're the number one high schoolprospect of the country and sports illustrates
are supposed to follow you around foryour senior season, then COVID hits.
You kind of understood the pressure thatcame when you're the backup at Oklahoma and
you become the star of Oklahoma andyou embrace it, and then when you
go to USC and start posing forthe Heisman Trophy before you win. I
get what you're saying. Now,Kayla Williams has no problem of finding the
(04:42):
attention. There is a reason whyhe's become polarizing. There's a reason why
people are talking about it because hehasn't been Ah, We're gonna take it
one game at a time, We'regonna do our best. He is far
from being a cliche quarterback. Ifind it all interesting. The other part
of this too that I think willbe a really good storyline, and it's
kind of s similar to the Jets. They're not really good franchises, you
(05:03):
know, like the Jets haven't wonsince Joe Namath. But because they get
so much national hype, people mightreconsider what the Jets are considered. We're
not based in Chicago. When peoplehear the Bears, they think, wow,
Dick Budkis, Walter Payton, someof the George Hallis, some of
the legendary names in the history ofAmerican professional football. They've got one Super
(05:26):
Bowl, They've got another Super Bowlappearance where they got buried by the Colts.
Like they have not had a greattradition in history as much as people
want to believe that over the courseof the last forty or fifty years,
and maybe that is what some ofthe storylines are. I'm all about it.
We got Double Hard Knocks. Theseries has not gone away. You
know. The last few seasons,I questioned whether or not this has just
(05:46):
been we have triple hard knock.Triple hard Knocks, thank you. But
then I wondered if this was justover that technology caught up and people aren't
as amused by whoa we get itbehind the scene coverage of a team when
everybody's doing it. But they founda really cool team to cover. Yeah.
I mean, there's gonna be plentyof stories, that's for sure.
I again, every everyone's gonna belooking at Kayla Williams. I just today
(06:10):
is not my day. You whatdo you mean? I'm I'm old man,
yell at cloud neck tattoos and nailpolish. What are you not in
my day? Mister? You'll getback in that house and you wash that
tattoo off your neck, sir.It's it's ink, it's in my skin.
You scrub harder than like I like. That's I've I mean, we
went from probably the wokest show we'veever done yesterday to now I am the
(06:34):
most conservative old fart on radio.I didn't want to bring this up today.
I gotta be very careful how Ido this? Do it? Do
it? Do it? So becareful, just go. I'm pretty sure
today and I didn't think about ittill this moment. I think I saw
the worst tattoo I've ever seen ona human being today. Now was it
Tristan over in News Now don't you, Tristan. Tristan has just shown Tristan
(06:56):
is actually here in studio because hesaid, I want to learn more about
the backing guy. No, no, no, what he really said is
I've never heard it. We've workedin the same building since May of last
year. He has found me inthe men's room multiple times to have conversations.
Yet he has never taken a secondto tune into the show. So
I appreciate him listening, but let'snot be like, go she's taking the
(07:20):
time. No, he's fine afterafter over a year. And don't think
I don't know what's going on herebecause I had you had Sam Israel from
CBS, you had TV News talkingme earlier today. Now radio news guys
are getting a little turfy. They'retrying to like flex up, like,
where's what's up? What's up?Tripod video camera guy? What do you
want to do? He is,he's puffing his chest out right now.
(07:42):
Do you think it has anything todo with Danielle from our sales team to
the coach? She said to youafter the show yesterday, do you think
Christians like I'm not as bad asDanielle. I just want to show it
off here's the thing about Danielle fromthe sales team. What people don't know
is that conversation continued and we arecollaborating on many ideas. She just sent
me an email with a bunch ofideas for the show. She's like,
I'm not really a sports person.I'm like, well, you don't.
You don't have to be. Butat the same time, that doesn't mean
(08:05):
you can't sell us like we can. I don't. You don't sell spots
on this show. That's not howyou. That's not how you do it.
With this show. We all comeup with a fun idea that's gonna
get attention for the advertiser and moneyfor me, and then we go and
we put the idea together and everyonce in a while there's a little left
over. For gods, that's howyou. That's how you do it.
(08:26):
She's been on like women's stuff,rights and all this, like women's health,
women's stuff, Like she's doing alot of stuff with that in the
building. I'm like, I lovewomen. They're my favorite thing. Ever,
I think we should let them vote. No, I'm kidding as a
joke, I know you can vote. I was trying to. I'm going
I'm leaning into the old conservative manthing now. I think. I think
(08:46):
it's because every once in a whileI have to go sit in w g
Y to do the show. Ithink it's like I'm becoming very off.
Yeah, yeah, you know.You know what else? No more Texas
when you make over one hundred grand. I wanted these wi jokes, but
I'm not gonna do that. Instead, I'll go back to my take about
the worst tattoo I think I've everseen today. Oh okay, I need
to be very careful because I don'twant to see where I was when I
(09:07):
saw this tattoo. I do now, I'm not saying. Earlier on the
show we talked about bad placements oftattoos. But I saw a tattoo today
and it caught me off guard becausethe person was wearing shorts. And this
is what I'm finding out. Alot of people have that tattoo, hid
it in the upper thigh area andthe tattoo doesn't come out until the summer
where you can finally see it.I told you one of my teammates had
the Ninja Turtles that I didn't knowthat till two years after playing with them.
(09:30):
They had a Ninja turtle tattoo onthe thigh. That's not the answer.
Though. I saw a woman today. Was it that Boston tattoo that
kid Kyle's got here? That's idiousI had a feeling Kyle was going to
catch a stray in this segment whatI may have seen today, you know,
like the famous Pegasus photo right whereit's like, isn't Pegasus half man,
half horse? What is that called? That's not Pegass? That's a
(09:52):
centaur. A centaur, thank you. Pegas is a winged horse. That's
exactly right, a centaur. Soit's half person, half horse. Dodgeball
right, Ben Steelers character has thatit's up there and then it's taking the
bull by the horns as a metaphor. So I saw a woman today with
a centaur on the upper left leg. Blue, but it was a female,
(10:16):
so it was like a mix betweenlike an alien and a centaur and
a woman. I had so manyquestions. I just stared at him.
So there's a woman who's wearing shortson her thigh. She had a blue
(10:37):
female centaur. I believe that's whatit was. That from my vision,
from what I could see, Ibelieve that's what I was looking at.
I can't confirm it, but I'mpretty sure that's what it was. I
don't know what else it could havebeen that I'm describing. There's no other
thing. It could have been aunicorn. Like that's a pretty rough tattoo.
Like they sat down and thought likethis is gonna Like we talked about
(10:58):
bad tattoos earlier. The thigh,the random thigh tattoo makes no sense to
me anyway, Like I have Ihave arm, I have calf, i've
i've back, I don't just inthe just plopped in the middle of the
thigh. That's it just kind offreaks me out a little bit, Like
it's just it's almost like you hadan idea, but not a full idea,
(11:20):
you know what I mean, Likelike, what do you want?
I want a blue female centaur?All right? Where do you want it?
And like you see your own thighand go, oh work, put
it there? What do you wantto do around it? Around it?
No, I just I just thoughtI could just randomly have a centaur.
Is the upper shoulder, the bicepthe most commonplace for a tattoo, So
I'm thinking, like, where haveI seen the most sports tattoos? Like
(11:43):
I've seen, think about this,professional teams. I'm not gonna count college.
College is a little different, butprofessional sports Franchisees of tattoos you've seen,
I've seen in person, not onthe internet. In person, I've
seen someone with a Giant tattoo,Yankees tattoo, Titans tattoo, Colts tattoo,
Red Sox tattoo. Most of themput like championship years on the that
(12:03):
I got about five. That's aboutit. But they're usually up here,
which I guess is better if you'regonna get a sports tattoo. But I'm
totally idea I have. I havea Yankee tattoo. Yes, you do,
but it's not like it's it's discreetlya Yankee tatto. You have to
know what it is to see it. I think the arm is probably I
have a friend who has a Giant'stattoo on a rib on her ribs.
(12:26):
It's right there notches her father's tattoo. Which is it brings up questions.
It's a it's actually an affluent householdtoo, which is just weird. I
told you that my daughter got acouple of tattoos, yes, and like
one one's a Celtic, and shegoes, I wanted a cool like Celtic
tattoo like my dad, like youtried. I don't know. I don't
(12:50):
know. I don't know. Iwant I don't want to keep like saying
terrible. Did you hear that thetattoo industry is suffering right now? Is
that true? Yes, it's it'sdown. The people aren't getting as much
ink, and the tattoo industry issuffering at the moment. A lot of
them are closing down. Oh man, you should get a nice face tattoo.
If you ever were to get atattoo, what would you get?
I will never get a tattoo.What would you get? Nothing? You
(13:11):
wouldn't get. You'll need the kid. I have bells on my shoulder for
my daughter. Just a picture ofmyself, just you like you, like
Steve O from Jackass. Just guyson his own back, hold up his
gampy finger. Jerry McNamara, Jerrynever coming on this? What do you
(13:31):
mean he's never going on this?So ever? All right, it's fine.
I won't get the tattoo, thendon't do it. You know what
I'd get, actually a tattoo ofthe back us ex Pest Control's logo.
All the great sponsors would make thisshow possible. I won't do that,
but I thought it'd be nicely.They're actually at my house earlier today.
(13:52):
You got a report on my phone. Thank you everybody ever. The shout

Two day. I thought this dudewas gonna be a wrestler, but I
think now he's a football player.Oh, we've got that. And I
still want to find out of whetheror not this New York athlete should be
considered a villain tonight, all right, well let's we'll do that one first
and then the it's all on theway. It's a double show, a
(14:56):
double dump, big show, Alot of things on the way coming up.
It's Slovak and Gaze on the Voiceof the Capitol Regions sports fan Fox
Sports ninety five to nine and nineeighty guys wants to ask the question,
should Aaron Judge be treated like avillain in San Francisco because he turned down
less money to play for the Giantsthat he took to play for the Yankees.
(15:20):
And the answer is no, sowe'll move on. They should be.
I feel like the Giant fan.I've been conflicted about this all day
because if that's any other fan base, if you said, ooh, I
might come and play for you.I might be the best player in baseball.
I'm a passionate baseball town that's wonmore championships than the Yankees recently,
last fifteen years. Why wouldn't youwant to come to hurtful Just why wouldn't
(15:43):
necessary wouldn't you want to come toSan Francisco. So if Aaron Judge steps
to the plate tonight, which he'sexpected to do, I would say,
the loudest place that would boo AaronJudge would be Boston. Now somewhere in
that mix that I don't have asound scale, but Toronto would be in
the mix. In Baltimore and Tampa, probably the Mets. Like you're the
best player, Wan Soto, you'rereally good too. But Aaron Judge is
(16:06):
the best player, the most marketable, the most well known Yankee right now
on the roster. He would getbooed the loudest. San Francisco should be
ticked tonight. But here here's whatI'm getting conflicted about, Sam Jio.
Go ahead, go ahead, Maybeyou're about to say what I'm about to
say. Well, no, I'msaying they shouldn't. They should be ticked,
but not at Aaron Judge. Becauseall right, So guys, I
(16:27):
would like you to work for FoxSports Radio ninety five nine eighty, But
I also understand that let's see here, sun Mark Sports Rate. I looked
out, I saw the bank.That's how creative I am. Sun Mark
Sports Radio offered you thirty percent moremoney to go to sun Mark Sports Radio
(16:49):
than Fox Sports Radio. Who shouldI be mad at? Check? You?
Mad at you for taking thirty percentmore money to do your job?
Or should I be mad at FoxSports Radio for coming up with thirty percent
more money to keep you here wherewe want you? Yeah, you asked
me that question earlier in the show, and I think my answer is starting
to change from what I said earlierin the show. Earlier in the show,
(17:10):
I said it's always on the athlete, because if the athlete makes that
decision, they're the ultimate one whomakes the call. Yeah, I could
say the agent makes the call.But some athletes are motivated by money.
Some athletes are motivated by legacy.Some athletes are motivated by I don't know,
just having a weird chip on yourshoulder. I don't know what motivates
everybody. Every athlete is different.So, yeah, I took Aaron judge.
(17:33):
I'm talking about Now, I tookthe spot that I believe would have
helped my legacy, made more money, team cared about me more, a
team that drafted me, all thatstuff. That's why he didn't pick the
Giants. Some could say, like, let's flip this over, right,
let's use Patrick Corbin for a second. Patrick Corbin, No, say different.
Okay, it was different because heused the Yankees for leverage to another
(17:55):
contract and he never really had anyintention of signing with the Yankees. Right
that same scenario, you could say, either it's completely different or there are
some similarities. Could it be lookedat that Judge did the same thing for
the Giants, Like, I don'tknow if Aaron Judge really ever thought about
going to San Francisco. I knowhe played his college ball at Fresno State.
I don't have a map in frontof me. California is a big
(18:17):
state. I assume Fresno and SanFrancisco there's some distance there, just the
way he said California is a bigstate. Like, I wasn't the one
trying to sell he was going tothe Giants. I'm sure his agent and
everybody else was. So if we'regonna crush Patrick Corbett a New York kid.
By the way, you're not signing. I feel like Giant fan could
have that same mindset. The onlyreason keep pausing on whether it's Giant fans
(18:40):
is because Giant fans are so loyalto their guys, Like Barry Bonds was
their guy, Tim Linz coome theirguy. There are players in the JT
snow Dusty Baker, like if yougo back for the Giants, it seems
like they're so loyal to the guyswho found success for the franchise. Even
Madison Bumgardner played for the Diamondbacks atone point, even though they're in the
same division. But like, imagineyou Levac, Imagine you live in San
(19:04):
Francisco, a frown San Francisco.A man hissed at me in the streets
of San Francisco. He's the homegoing through a garbage camp. I was
gonna say, wasn't he a homefreeman? When you yeah, that doesn't
mean a lot of hiss at me. And no one's ever hissed at me
in New York. That's not aninvitation, by the way, Sorry,
go ahead, imagine you're in SanFrancisco trying to live your life. It's
(19:26):
a beautiful summer evening. The NewYork Yankees are coming to town. You're
out of work, you had afour day work week, and you're thinking,
I can't wait to boo the hellout of Aaron Judge boo. I
just don't know if California, SanFrancisco a sports fan has that same attitude
as New York sports fan. Maybethat seriously plays a difference of where the
(19:48):
game's being played and the lifestyle ofthe fan out there. Yeah, I
mean maybe, But again, Ijust it's one of those deals, like
if I there's players, all right, So like Bryce Harper, right,
am I supposed to hate Bryce Harperbecause he didn't become a Yankee? Or
am I supposed to be mad atthe Yankees because they didn't come up with
four hundred million to get Bryce Harper? That's a Yankee thing, if you're
(20:10):
mad everybody. Every every one ofthese teams has money. Every one of
these teams can spend money. Andyou know, I know we like to
destroy Scott Boris, but certain playersdo raise the value of your franchise,
and like we could, we coulddo this. You go pay the guy
(20:33):
and then we'd be good. Soif I'm the giants, I'm the fans.
I'm looking at the giants. I'mlooking at them and going, you
see what this dude has been doing. You couldn't come up with twenty thirty
more million another year. You couldn'tdo it because they ain't the Yankees of
old, saying this is how theSaint George Steinbrenner, they they would have
(20:53):
They might have blinked. So bemad, but be mad at the right
people. That's all. That's allI'm saying. That's all I'm saying.
Have I convinced you probably a littlebit? I think the California thing play.
I think it's fun to see Yankeeplayers get a little bit of heat
because there's also the evil Empire stuffof that and all that. But I
think the San Francisco fans a littledifferent. You mentioned something about the bills
(21:15):
that I still I thought it wasa fake account. I thought this was
a fake Adam Schefter, but itis not. It is one hundred percent
reel from another thing we've he heardthroughout the afternoons today. And I do
need I think I need your inputon this one, because I thought this
dude was doing something so gable StevensonSteveson Gable. Steveson uh the Olympic gold
medalist for for wrestling, one ofthe most dominant college wrestlers in NCAA history.
(21:38):
He was he was developmental for WWEright he was well. Now he
has apparently signed with the Bills.Per his agent, Carter Chow, six
and seventy pound Gable Steveson expected toplay defensive line, something he hasn't done
(22:00):
before during his athletic career. I'dbe the first time he's ever put on
cleats. Was recently in a workoutfor the Bills. Yeah. So the
reason I thought this was fake wasbecause, as he just referenced, he'd
originally been signed with the WDE afterhe won the gold medal. So there
was talks of like, Okay,he's going to become the next Kurt Angle
(22:21):
or Ronda Rousey or former Olympic qualifyingwrestler to take that next step, and
then there was talks that he actuallymight go back and wrestle his senior season
because of NIL, like, hey, even though you want in the Olympics,
it doesn't mean you have to bedone with college. So there was
talks that like he was going tohave become the most profitable NIL athlete of
all time. That rumor was outthere, and then there was a rumor
(22:44):
that he just didn't do well inthe WWE, and the reason that he
was gone was because of he's notgood enough or he's got an ego.
So this guy went from not goingback to school to just flat out Accordney
reports not being good enough in theww whatever the expectations were, going to
the NFL. Like it feels alittle brock Lesner like because at the next
step for him, the UFC,this is very similar to what brock Lesonard
(23:07):
did when he believe I believe hewas the last cut when he tried out
for the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, but that's like that also
makes me wonder too, like isis the last cut? Obviously he's physical,
special specimen like he if anybody wouldbe able to just dominate somebody physically
on the line, I would believe. I believe brock Lessner could just un
(23:27):
sheer physicality. But it was alsobecause like we know, we're not keeping
these guys too, We'll cut brocklast because well we'll get more attention longer.
That would be a question for theMinnesota Vikings. I don't know the
answer to that. When you're avalue wating brock Lesner who did something like
this, What did they see?Did they just want to give a shot?
(23:49):
How is the roster bilding where they'retrying to read? There's a lot
of questions that would go into thisthis situation. I think the easy take
for me it would be like,he's not gonna make the Bills. He's
not gonna make the bills, hedoesn't have an experienced, the Bills are
a playoff contender, all these otherthings that happen to me hearing this is
more about, Look, the NFLpreseason is ridiculous. We're gonna play him
(24:10):
in Game one because when only wantto anybody hurt. We might play him
in Game three. We just needpeople who are gonna give our team a
good look and test them this offseason. This is the way we've decided to
do it. I don't know ifhe's gonna be a good I would guess
he's not gonna be very good.I wouldn't Yeah, I wouldn't put I
wouldn't put money on it. Butagain, like so much, you know,
so much A defensive line is handfighting, it's leverage, it's power.
(24:36):
Who knows, maybe he's a natural. It'd be fun to watch one
way or the other. Too bad, Hard Knocked Chicago. Hard knocks to
Chicago instead of Bufalo, I'd bethrilled. Uh, do you per chance
know where I might find great employeesquickly? Are you talking about Express Employment
Professionals, LAVAC and expresspros dot Com? I am now, please tell me

Sounds like y'all we've got left todayis the dump right here on Fox Sports
(26:07):
Radio nine Fox Sports Radio. Wenow know who will be featured in the
regular hard knocks Knocks not the trainingcamp hard Knocks or the ot what I
don't know, the one the Jetsis in. Then there's the the Jets
were in last season's hard Knocks.The Giants are in the preseason hard Knocks,
(26:32):
the off season hard Knocked okay,and then the end season hard Knocks.
We don't know yet, but thethe og hard Knocks, the the
hardest of knocks, some some mightmight say, is going to be the
Chicago Bears. The Bears they wereone of I think only two teams that
couldn't say no, you get thenumber one overall pick, in Caleb Williams,
(26:55):
you get just should be a verytalent team, but a coaching staff
that may or may not already beon the hot seat pending about how they
develop. Caleb Williams, what doyou think? Are you excited about the
Bears? I am. I sawthe Bears pop up, and I'm like,
you know, what, if Iactually could pick a team that I'm
(27:15):
the most interested in this offseason,Chicago's now on the list. Now that
answer has changed pre drafted, postrap because at the end of the off
season, I think I mentioned theVikings, I was interested in, the
Falcons I was interested in, butin the Jets. A lot of those
things have already gone. Now whatI'm fascinated by is the Bears and how
the number one overall pick the numberone high school quarterback prospect in the country
(27:37):
during the COVID year, the playerthat really shouldn't be on the Bears.
And we all know what that means. Because the Bears weren't the worst team
in the NFL. There were sevento nine and one last year? How
are they going to handle this?And there's a few other things to this,
Like the first storyline that's now jumpedout to me recently is did you
realize Caleb Williams isn't wearing thirteen forChicago? I didn't. I haven't paid
(27:59):
much attention him. Yeah, whatis? I think a lot of people
didn't realize he wasn't wearing thirteen becausethirteen was open and there were two players
who could wear thirteen this season forthe Bears. Keenan Allen, who's a
thirteen year veteran who's worn thirteen basicallyhis entire career in the NFL, and
the number one overall picked the hypearound Caleb Williams and it came down to
that, And the story goes thatCaleb Williams said, whoa, Keenan Allen
(28:22):
gets the first right to that number. I'm the rookie, he gets it.
If you want to like that,that's pretty cool. Now, Caleb
Williams is gonna wear eighteen. That'sthe number he wore a high school,
so it's like thirteen with a connection. Yeah, I would like to see
how that played out. I don'tknow if Hard Knocks cameras are there for
that, but I'm sure that'll bea discussion at some point this summer.
And also just the personality of CalebWilliams, because you and I heard some
(28:47):
of the odd criticisms of he's alittle bit more flamboyant, he's a little
bit more I made me. Yes, I made that, like I'll I'll
wear it. The crying during thegame, the nail polished, the pick
phone, the like, and again, I you know, do do you
like? Do you? But youare again? Now Hard Knocks is there?
(29:07):
Tell me, tell me you're undera microscope without telling me you're on
a microscope. Gonna be on HardKnocks this season, like you're inviting more
questions, like you're inviting them.So if you if you're good with it,
if your if your back is thatstrong and you can, or your
shoulders are that wide, or whateverit is, rock and roll me,
I would probably be a church bounce. I'd be the quietest thing you ever
(29:30):
heard until I knew I could actuallyplay what he again, let me go
back. I want to make sureI understand what you're talking about there that
like Caleb will Caleb was then decidethough Are you saying the bear should have
protected him here? They'd be like, no, I'm saying when you show
up on TV and get the nailpolish and the pink phone, and you
didn't, Okay, maybe you didn'tdecide to be on television at a sporting
(29:51):
event at your your school where you'rebeing drafted out of where you're sitting.
What he's front row, didn't justsay, you know that model was on
the catwalks. She didn't tell youto take her picture, like you know,
he knew what he was. Hewas gonna go out and get a
little attention, and I'm all forit. I'm just saying that when you
do, like look at all right, completely different end of the spectrum.
(30:14):
Look at Aaron Rodgers last year.Aaron Rodgers is everywhere he wants the attention.
We've only seen him out once sofar this year, and it was
at a Yankee game that Marcus Stromaninvite him to because now he needs to
prove he can play again before hegoes and gets all these other questions coming.
When you're the number one high schoolprospect of the country and sports illustrates
are supposed to follow you around foryour senior season, then COVID hits.
(30:36):
You kind of understood the pressure thatcame when you're the backup at Oklahoma and
you become the star of Oklahoma andyou embrace it, and then when you
go to USC and start posing forthe Heisman Trophy before you win. I
get what you're saying. Now,Kayla Williams has no problem of finding the
attention. There's a reason why he'sbecome polarizing. There's a reason why people
are talking about it because he hasn'tbeen a we're gonna take it one game
(30:59):
at a time, We're gonna doour best. He is far from being
a cliche quarterback. I find itall interesting. The other part of this
too, that I think will bea really good storyline, And it's kind
of similar to the Jets. They'renot really good franchises, you know,
like the Jets haven't won since JoeNamath, but because they get so much
national hype, people might reconsider whatthe Jets are considered. We're not based
(31:22):
in Chicago. When people hear theBears, they think, wow, Dick
Budkis, Walter Payton, some ofthe George Hallis, some of the legendary
names in the history of American professionalfootball. They've got one Super Bowl,
They've got another Super Bowl appearance wherethey got buried by the Colts, Like
they have not had a great traditionin history as much as people want to
(31:44):
believe that over the course of thelast forty or fifty years, and maybe
that is what some of the storylinesare. I'm all about it. We
got Double Hard Knocks. The serieshas not gone away, you know,
the last few seasons. I questionedwhether or not this has just been we
have triple hard knocks. Triple hardKnocks, thank you. I wondered if
this was just over that technology caughtup and people aren't as amused by whoa
(32:04):
we get it behind the scene coverageof a team when everybody's doing it.
But they found a really cool teamto cover. Yeah. I mean,
there's gonna be plenty of stories,that's for sure. I again, every
everyone's gonna be Look at Kayla Williams. I just today is not my day?
You what do you mean? I'mI'm old man yelling at cloud neck
tattoos and nail polish. What areyou not in my day? Mister?
(32:29):
You'll get back in that house andyou wash that tattoo off your neck,
sir, it's it's ink, it'sin my skin. You scrub harder than
I like. That's I've I mean, we went from probably the wokest show
we've ever done yesterday to now Iam the most conservative old fart on radio.
I didn't want to bring this uptoday. I gotta be very careful
(32:49):
how I do this? Do it? Do it? Do it? So
be careful, just go. I'mpretty sure today and I didn't think about
it till this moment. I thinkI saw the worst tattoo I've ever seen
on a human beings. Oh now, was it Tristan over a news now,
don't you Tristan. Tristan has justshowed Tristan is actually here in studio
because he said I want to learnmore about the Lavakan guy. No,
no, no, What he reallysaid is I've never heard it. We've
(33:13):
worked in the same building since Mayof last year. He has found me
in the men's room multiple times tohave conversations. Yet he has never taken
a second to tune into the show. So I appreciate him listening. But
let's not be like, go,she's taking the time. No, he's
fine. After after over a year, and don't think I don't know what's
(33:35):
going on here because I had hadSam Israel from CBS. You had TV
News talking to me earlier today.Now radio news guys are getting a little
turfy. They're trying to like flexup, like, where's what's up?
What's up? Tripod video camera guy? What do you want to do?
He is, he's puffing his chestout right now. Do you think it
has anything to do with Danielle fromour sales team to the coach? He
said to you after the show yesterday. Do you think Tristan is like,
(33:55):
I'm not as bad as Danielle.I just want to show it off.
Here's the thing about Danielle from thesales team. What people don't know is
that conversation continued and we are collaboratingon many ideas. She just sent me
an email with a bunch of ideasfor the show. She's like, I'm
not really a sports person. I'mlike, well, you don't. You
don't have to be. But atthe same time, that doesn't mean you
can't sell us like we can.I don't. You don't sell spots on
(34:19):
this show. That's not how youthat's not how you do it with this
show. We all come up witha fun idea that's gonna get attention for
the advertiser and money for me,and then we go and we put the
idea together, and every once ina while there's a little left over.
For gods, that's how you that'show you do it. She's being on
like women's stuff, rights and allthose like women's health, women's stuff,
like she's doing a lot of stuffwith that in the building. I'm like,
(34:40):
I love women, They're my favoritething. Ever, I think we
should let them vote. No,I'm kidding, that's a joke. I
know you can vote. I wastrying to. I'm going I'm leaning into
the old conservative man thing now.I think I think it's because every once
in a while I have to gosit in w guy to do the show.
I think it's like I'm becoming Yeah, yeah, you know, you
(35:01):
know what else? No more taxeswhen you make over one hundred grand.
I want to do some WQI jokes, but I'm not gonna do that.
Instead, I'll go back to mytake about the worst tattoo I think I've
ever seen today. Okay, Ineed to be very careful because I don't
want to see where I was whenI saw this tattoo. I do now,
I'm not saying. Earlier on theshow we talked about bad placements of
(35:22):
tattoos. But I saw a tattootoday and it caught me off guard because
the person was wearing shorts. Andthis is what I'm finding out. A
lot of people have that tattoo hidit in the upper thigh area and the
tattoo doesn't come out until the summerwhere you can finally see it. I
told you one of my teammates hadthe Ninja Turtles that I didn't know that
till two years after playing with them. They had a Ninja turtle tattoo on
the thigh. That's not the answer. Though I saw a woman today.
(35:44):
Was it that Boston tattoo that kidKyle's got here? That's hidious. I
had a feeling Kyle was going tocatch a stray in this segment. What
I may have seen today. Youknow, like the famous Pegasus photo right
where it's like, isn't Pegasus halfman, half horse? What is that
called? That's not That's a acentaur, Thank you horse. That's exactly
(36:05):
right, a centaur. So it'shalf person, half horse. Dodgeball right.
Ben Steelers character has that it's upthere and then it's taking the bull
by the horns as a metaphor.So, I saw a woman today with
a centaur on the upper left leg. Blue, but it was a female.
So it was like a mix betweenlike an alien and a centaur and
(36:30):
a woman. I had so manyquestions. I just stared at. So
there's a woman who's wearing shorts onher thigh. She had a blue female
centaur. I believe that's what itwas. That from my vision, from
(36:50):
what I could see, I believethat's what I was looking at. I
can't confirm it, but I'm prettysure that's what it was. I don't
know what else it could have beenthat I'm describing. There's no there's no
other thing. It could have beena unicorn. Like that's a pretty rough
tattoo. Like they sat down andthought like this is gonna Like we talked
about bad tattoos earlier, bring ithome. The thigh. The random thigh
tattoo makes no sense to me anyway. Like I have I have arm,
(37:14):
I have calf, I've I've back, I don't just in the just plopped
in the middle of the thigh.That's it just kind of freaks me out
a little bit, Like it's justit's almost like you had an idea,
but not a full idea, youknow what I mean, Like, like,
what do you want? I wanta blue female centaur? All right?
(37:34):
Where do you want it? Andlike you see your own thigh and
go, oht work? Put itthere? What do you want to do
around it? Around it? No? I just I just thought I could
just randomly have a centaur. Isthe upper shoulder, the bicep the most
commonplace for a tattoo. So I'mthinking, like, where have I seen
the most sports tattoos like I've seen? Think about this professional teams. I'm
not gonna count college. College isa little different, but professional sports franchisees
(37:58):
of tattoos you've seen seen in person, not on the internet. In person,
I've seen someone with a Giants tattoo, Yankees tattoo, Titans tattoo,
Colts tattoo, Red Sox tattoo.Most of them put like championship years on
the that I got about five.That's about it. But they're usually up
here, which I guess is betterif you're gonna get a sports tattoo.
(38:19):
But I'm totally idea. I haveI have a Yankee tattoo. Yes,
you do, but it's not likeit's it's discreetly a Yankee tatto. You
have to know what it is tosee it. I think the arm is
probably I have a friend who hasa giants tattoo on a rib on her
ribs. It's right there, matchesher father's tattoo. Which is it brings
(38:39):
up questions. It's a it's actuallyan affluent household too, which is just
weird. I told you that mydaughter got a couple of tattoos, yes,
and like one one's a Celtic andshe goes, I wanted a cool
like Celtic tattoo like my dad,like you tried. I don't know.
(39:00):
I don't know. I don't know. I want. I don't want to
keep like saying terrible. Did youhear that the tattoo industry is suffering right
now? I did not know that. Is that true? Yes, it's
it's down. The people aren't gettingas much ink, and the tattoo industry
is suffering at the moment. Thereare a lot of them are closing down.
Oh man, you should get anice face tattoo. If you ever
were to get a tattoo, whatwould you get? I will never get
a tattoo. What would you get? Nothing? You wouldn't get you the
(39:22):
kid. I have bells on myshoulder for my daughter. Just a picture
of myself. Just you like you, like Steve O from Jackass. Just
guys on his own back, holdup his gimpy finger. Jerry McNamara is
never coming on this. Mean he'snever going on this so ever, Alright,
(39:44):
it's fine. I won't get thetattoo, then don't do it.
You know what i'd get, actuallya tattoo of the back US ex Pest
Control's logo. All the great sponsorswould make this show possible. I won't
do that, but I thought it'dbe nicely. They're actually at my else
