trash Talking Tuesday, we just had a nice flurry of
trash talkers, Sean, did you enjoyed a little trash talking Tuesday?
Very nice guests, no doubt. People jumping in and Sean,
here we are. We're going to in the final hour
of the program tonight talk about Awful Announcing, which is
(01:22):
that kind of fan website that talks about the media.
People in the media, moving the jobs, things that they say, issues, problems,
all that stuff. They compared Bronnie James and Tim Tebow.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Rob g Ken, you let us in on this.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, awful announcing is taking some shots at the odd
couple over the years, but they are spot on. You
know what, can they let Chris let Chris be I mean,
let him breathe, let him breathe. Guys, all right, so
awful announcings. Andrew Buckles wrote a column in the wake
of Bronnie james inauspicious summer league debut.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Here's what he wrote.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
One of the areas in sports that draws the most
comment is when a media organization's coverage of an athlete
seems outsized relative to that athlete's on field impact. This
was seen for many years with Tim Tebow in particular
through his NFL career, but especially his minor league baseball career.
(02:22):
Oh yes, but has come up with many others as
well since then, the latest example being ESPN's coverage of
Brownie james summer league debut on Saturday. What gets missed
in some of these celebrity stories around sports is that
they do actively alienate some others who want the emphasis
(02:42):
on the on court product. That's why it's important to
find balance and limit that kind of celebrity coverage.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Spot on the spot on Sean King. It's just like,
I get it. I've been in these meetings. Play the hits.
Everybody else, you know, everybody wants to talk about the
lebron and Tom Brady and Aaron Ryan.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Like, play the hits and all that. I get it,
but it can be.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
It can be frustrating to listen to and hear when
it's a beat, a drum beat for somebody who's not
even playing or doesn't have that much, uh, you know, potential,
at least from the from the ants from the beginning,
Like the Tim Tebow playing for the Mets in the
minor leagues.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
He was not making it to the major leagues.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
He just wasn't, but there was a ridiculous amount of
coverage because Tim Tebow moves the needle. Bronnie James moves
the needle. Regardless of how many minutes he plays, he
shoots two for nine, They're still going to push him.
And it's frustrating as a sports fan, and I think
that as a member of the media.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It drives me.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Crazy and I'm a part of it. It drives me crazy.
Where are you is?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's all warranted?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Just give people what they want and whoever is the
new hotness that that that's all that matters.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
I just think you can't ever dictate what the fan
bases are passionate about. I mean, we're coming off a
year where Boston beat the Mavericks in the NBA Finals,
Yet there are more people interested in what's going on
with the Lakers than there are in what's going on
in Boston or that was just kind of is what
it is. You have these marquee brands and they're polarizing,
and most of the topics that really generate, you know, attention,
(04:28):
whether it be listeners, whether it be viewers, are people
are athletes that kind of everybody's kind of split, but
they care. Half the people hate their guts maybe something
for no reason. The other half think they walk on water.
And that's what you kind of get t Bow. That
was that kind of athlete, Lebron. That's the kind of athlete, BRONI.
That's the kind of athlete.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
That doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that they can't
be covered. But don't give me I'll give you a
perfect example, I'll never forget it. Tim Tebow has some
awful game, has one hundred and three yards and leads
the last drive and the field goal kicker kicks an
(05:10):
eighty nine yard field goal to win the game, and
the camera is on not on the kicker, it's on
Tim Tebow.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Tim.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Look, well, look what Tim Tebow did. Like the kicker
kicked the field goal and win the game. It wasn't
like t Bow to an eighty nine touchdown or something
or some unbelievable drive. And the story wouldn't be about
the kicker who kicked the field goal and win the
game at the end. It was about t Bow who
had one hundred and three yards and was god awful
(05:38):
for the first three quarters of the game.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
That's what I'm talking about. It ain't I get it.
And the you know what you're.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Talking about, polarizing and all this stuff. If you want to,
you want to watch the news, you could just watch
the news and we could show you every train wreck,
every bad thing that ever happens. And that's not what
the news is supposed to be. You're supposed to filter
route and put stuff that's important based on some merit.
It just can't be what moves the needles. You know
(06:07):
what the news would look like, Sean, if we did that,
we could do that. There's plenty of bad stuff to
show people. That's not what the news is.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Listen, the people like what they like.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Rob.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
It's just to the point where the journalist doesn't get
to decide.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
The journal get to decide. You're reactive.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
If you ever sat in the newsroom, more in a
meeting for the front page of the newspaper, or what's going.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
To lead the news, it ain't like if it bleeds,
it leads.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Let's just put all right, somebody was a baby fell
out the window this, students were gunned down in high school.
They don't lead the news with that every day it happens.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying you're just being
a little unrealistic.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I'm unrealistic. No, I think it's lazy.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Lazy by the media. It's lazy.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
You can write the greatest book ever written in regarding
something sports centric, and if people don't buy it, they
don't bite it. If they go out and buy the
autobiography of John Day, you want to hear about him
drinking beer on the golf course, they get to decide
it's just the truth.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
And let me tell you why. So you're telling me
that the National Inquiry was better than the New York Times,
I'm not telling you all right, but they saw you copy,
they sold more copies.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That don't make it. If she was a rag, it.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Doesn't mean that it's better or what people need to
read into. And I'm just saying, Sean, people are lazy.
The people who are in the sports the media are lazy.
Let's pick the same five topics and bang them and
beat them to death.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Enough already, all right, and then when.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You talk about Bridie, you're not even gonna give us
a fair analysis of them.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, we gotta wait and see. Well, you know he's
a young player.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
No, he was awful tonight. He was two for nine.
He couldn't hit the side of a barn.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
And when I think, I think you're being slightly hypocritical. Wow,
because what we should have been talking about on any
sports talk radio show is Brandon Nemo hit another home run.
He's not in the All Star Game. We're what a
week away from the Major League Baseball All Star Game.
But baseball just doesn't drive traffic we're talking about Lebron
James being voted captain of the USA basketball team because
(08:19):
that's what people want to listen to.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Sean, it ain't wrong. Now it's relevant.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Baseball's a different animal because they play one hundred and
sixty two games. If baseball was like football and you
had seventeen games, it would be totally different. I get
it one place for every day for six years. It's
never going to be matched one for one and can't
be because it's just like you love ice cream, Sean,
(08:48):
Guess what, and then you start working at the ice
cream factory and your love for ice cream will never
be the same.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Would you agree with that?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
I agree? But on the same time, you have a
great segment you and Chris. You guys do a great
job called Trust Talking Tuesday. Everybody that called in almost
one hundred percent of We're Talking Basketball. Kings fans were
mad because they're disrespected by Laker fans. Laker fans are
defending the Lakers. It's just it. People like what they like.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Rob That's fine.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There's no reason Tim Tebow was overblown. It was way
too much. It was over the top. It's the same
thing with Bronny I get it. I know it moves
the needle. Don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean and
the one thing I love about this show and rob
G knows it when me and Chris started this show,
we refuse to do the same topics over and over.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
You guys have a great show, you do.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
We won't do it, rob G.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Did we not say to ourselves we will not do that,
because we could get on here every day and talk
about Lebron James and talk about Aaron Rodgers and back
when Tom Brady and do those topics every single day
and and and take and take the night off.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Rob G?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Didn't we We've got we made a concerted effort not
to do that.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Absolutely another because effort. If we wanted to get a
guest on and they said you cannot ask me about
X topic, which happened to be a big topic, we
would say thanks, but no thanks.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We won't have them on.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
We won't have them on.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And so all I'm saying, Sean, is that the Bronny
coverage will be Now, what happens when the season starts
and he's not playing?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Are they gonna lead Sports Center?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Bronni had the eighteen DMP tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
What do you think of that? Is that where we're
gonna go.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I'm just asking as the game started, yet that wouldn't
it be the late game. I don't like to agree
with you, but I will agree with you in this sense.
I listened to the Odd Couple all the time. That's
why I jumped at the opportunity to fill in both
when you went on vacation and Chris went on vacation,
because you guys actually speak truth. I think sports talk
should be about educating your listeners. I think you should
(10:50):
keep some of the topics current, but you should always
make your listener smarter. And that doesn't always revolve around
the sensationalization of what everyone else is talking about, right
you guys, And that's all I'm saying, Especially U, I
know you're really driving the ship.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Well he's the boss, but but you get My point
is the brownie coverage is just over the top. Like
the Tim Tebow that was really bad. I was at
ESPN during that time, Sean. You think you were there
too at that time, and it was every five minutes
Tim Tebow helst.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Like the perfect storm because you had this young man
that was homeschool that wreri was Christianity outwardly in public
that had won us a Heisman. But in some ways
he could play. He was limited because of the position,
like if you just baseline, okay, you got to be this,
this and this. But he won a lot of games
(11:43):
playing that position as well.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
But guy, if he really if people really bought into him.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You remember he went with the Jets. And where else
did he go after that? He with Denver.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
He beat the Steelers in the playoffs too. He's a
playoff win in quarterback? Do you remember and do you
remember that play? The only thing I want to say
is Dick Lebows was a defensive court Hall of Famer, right,
and they had what they have everybody on a lot
of scrimmage. They didn't think he could throw like an
eight yard pass. Sean, go back and look at the
defense of alive and of that. Hey, here's what I'm
(12:15):
am I right or wrong on that. I set all
that the vacuum into a corner. And I'm about to
use your words against you, Rob Parker. So I want
you to hear this clearly, because you made one of
the most ridiculous statements I've ever heard earlier in the show.
You said Lebron James does not impact winning, well, guess
who does Tim Tebow. T Bow may be one of
the most five impactful college football players in history. No,
(12:39):
I'm talking about in the pros. I'm not talking about
his college career. I'm talking about the pros.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
He was a zero. He was a zero.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
He was And if that winning and that win against
Pittsburgh meant anything it did, he would have.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
He would have.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
It's one of the losses that people try and use
to like substantiate that Mike Tomlin shouldn't still be the
head coach of the Steelers. At the end of the day,
what t Bow did it Florida When you look back
on that era, that group of guys keeping.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
He only won one championship, right, he was on the team.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
He was on the team with Chris Leak the first time.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
But Kevin, I'm just saying, I mean, half.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
That team has turned out to be, you know, not
the best American citizens we've ever had. So from a
leadership standpoint, a loan just keeping those guys available on Saturdays,
like you're not gonna talk trash about Tim Tebow. He's
a Florida icon.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
All right, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
H eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox his all
telephone number. Is it fair to say that the media
coverage of Brownie James has jumped the shark the same
way it did for Tim Tebow.

We want you to jump in eight seven seven ninety

live from the tyrerech dot com studios. I'll telephone number
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
(15:16):
nine nine six nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
And we're talking about the coverage. Has the coverage of
Bronnie James jumped to Shark like it did for Tim Tebow.
We want to hear from you and I know Sean
people are ready to go at this. So we're loaded
for bear.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Let's do it all right, let's rock and roll. Ken
in Stockton. You're on the Odd Couple.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
What you got hey, man? The only good thing in
this class couple of days, and King is Seun King.
Old Cole rob has been all over there Ronnie James,
and now he's all over Tim Tebow. You know what,
The only good thing happened with Seawn King, not the
(15:58):
second amount of Kings.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
I'm out all right?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Yes, Korean Mesville welk are you in the odd couple?
What you got big though?
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Hey Son, Hey hey guys, thanks for taking my call.
So this is my thought on it. The two situations
are completely different. If you look at Tim Tebow's coverage,
it was warranted because he was a two time national
champion at the University of Florida. Bronnie has half a how.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
About his NFL career, It wasn't about his college career.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Nobody's talking about his college career.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
I get that, But you're talking about Bronnie coming straight
out of college. He only had half a year's experience.
And the only reason that he's even getting coverage is
because of his dad. Tim Tebow didn't have anything like that.
He didn't have a father that played in the league
like that. He didn't have the type of media coverage
around him.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
If you remember the baseball coverage with the Mets. For real,
he hadn't played baseball in twelve years. Come on, now,
you're acting like Tim Tebow got way too much Coridge
for a.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Guy wasn't going to make it to the major league.
Can you agree with that?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
I can agree with that. But what I'm saying is
you're comparing the type of coverage that Brownie is getting
right now to what Tim Tebow did, and we're looking
at like college comparison him, both of them coming out
of college.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
What I'm doing is the over coverage of that's not warranted.
It's more about that Tim Tebow was a college We
get what he did in college. Sean, I'm talking about
you remember when he played for the Mets. It was
with Dave's bet in two twenty and the ESPN's leading
with stories about Tim Tebow.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Come on, I.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Mean, Jordan was never gonna be a great baseball player.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
That covered him was the greatest player I ever played,
I know, But you're.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Talking to his baseball coverage. I mean they covered Russell
Wilson going to spring training like they did Tim Tebow.
I know. I great. Call Corey Brandon in Riverside, you're
on the odd couple.
Speaker 10 (17:51):
What you got oh, hey, guys, how you doing, Joe?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Thank you, Brandon, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 10 (17:59):
Yeah, I gotta agree with with you with the Ron Parker.
It's just a lot of coverage, especially for I mean,
we understand that Ronnie James is related to Lebron James,
we get that. But my phone was going off on
Saturdays during that game and I was like, are they
(18:20):
someone actually doing play by play of Ronnie James and
how many shots he is? And they made me seem
like his first NBA bask he was like the best
thage since anybody, And I just I just feel like that. Yes,
the coverage for Ronnie James in his overheight and too much.
(18:42):
At least Tim Pebow had an amazing college career but
in a terrible pro career of course, But Ronnie James,
he's just Lebron James son that got the opportunity and
I'm happy for him for that. Hey, if I can
get at some run Shurnt, I would do it too.
But it is over.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's too much appreciated, Brandon. I just I'm not saying
he didn't deserve any coverage.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
It's it's the.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I mean, he was invited to the McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
He averaged four points. At USC comes invited to the
McDonald's game, he averaged four points. Did you watch him
in college?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
I mean he got injured, he was playing behind eight ball.
We got one more. We got one more caller too, Rob,
Nathan and Wisconsin. You're on the odd couple?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
What you got?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (19:30):
How you doing good?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (19:33):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's too bad.
Speaker 11 (19:34):
I just want to say, I mean, I don't think
the comfort is exactly the same because at least te
Ball got something under his belt in college. You know,
he had some wins to his name. I will say
as far as Brownie goes, though, I mean, it's just
a little ridiculous because anyone's going to get that hype
to be priced because that kid's gonna.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Run right that that kid is his size and whatnot,
He's going to be the player.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Everybody thinks that that's the case. Thanks Nathan, what squeez in? Andre?
Real quick? Okay? We got time? Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Hey, Rob, Thanks I appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
Listen, thanks for taking the call. Listen with Bronnie James.
For me, he's the people definitely have the twelve ounce
gloves on when they're covering him, and how they're dealing
with him, and I think a lot of the independent
media folks are just flat out shook with Lebron James
and Clutch Sports in that empire. And it's crystal clear
if you have a critical take of Bronnie James, you're
just shut out of that stratosphere. Rachel Nichols, who was him,
(20:27):
and Rachel and Lebron had a friendly relationship. She gave
one less than glowing take on Bronnie, and all of
a sudden, Lebron unfollows her. So it's understood.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
And you know what, Rachel Nichols and Sean when she
had our show, her own show on CNN, her first
guest was Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Did you know that?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
And so she gave she said something andre right about
about Bronnie James, and that was it.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
You're missing why Bronnie James is such a big story.
It's a huge story because the NBA has completely mismanaged
their draft Daybody knows who Reesa is or Star or
any of these so.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That those are the players that were drafted.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
I know Briani is a bigger celebrity in those guys.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Celebrity people are no, that's not what the league is about.
It's about the players. Stop Sean. You can't play to
the crowd because somebody has a Twitter followers and those
are the guys that you're going to go.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
By raft NBA fix it? How, how, Sean, give me
about how? How do you fix it?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
They need to make make it more about discovery, like
people are going to introduce the people they don't know.
That's the There are only really two drafts that anybody
cares about. NBA to a lesser extent of the NFL
Draft the NFL draft.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Man.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
There's been so much coverage of all those individuals. People
are familiar with them.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
They feel like they know also play major college football
and they on Saturday, so people know.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
They got international players that the NFL wi'll have to deal.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
With public to the no one knows who the majority
of these guys are. That's why Bronnie's an even bigger story.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
It's because of his dad. Has nothing to do with Bronnie.
It's about his dad, James family.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Hey, whatever you want to do, I'm gonna keep it real,
all right. It is the Odd Company, all right.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Coming up next, we're gonna do a little trolling and rolling,
and Rob g is in for Martin Weis's on that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We'll do that next, but first let's get you caught up.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Tom Brady, he's done, Aaron Rodgers did not have a
Pro Bowl season.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Trying to kiss me.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
It's trolling or rolling.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
That's right, it is trolling and rolling.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Here on the EYD couple on Fox Sports Radio, say
when we go and discuss some of the topics.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We didn't quite have time for in the big show.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
And if you guys like the story, you get the
roll sound. And if you don't like, get the troll sound.
Oh man, now, Sean, I don't know if you've done
this segment before. So we'll let Rob get the first
crack here at question number one.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
All right, I learned fast. Rob Parker.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Kevin Durant has been in the headlines a lot over
the last couple of weeks, especially around the NBA Draft.
You'll recall Friend of the Show and ESPN First Take
star Stephen A. Smith made headlines leading up to the
draft when he said that the Suns wanted to get
out of the KD business. While Durant addressed that report
(23:39):
with friend of the show Vince Goodwill for Yahoo Sports
earlier this week, saying that Stephen A. Quote lied about
him wanting out of Phoenix and the Phoenix wanting out
of him four quote clicks and he was disgusted by
the whole situation. Rob Parker trollin' a Roland that friend
of the show Stephen A. Smith would lie about such
(24:01):
a report just to get more eyeballs on his TV show.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Of course I'm trolling it.
Speaker 13 (24:07):
Oh man, Hey, hey.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
It doesn't mean that Stephen A.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Might have gotten some wrong information or somebody's source that
he knows or Sean you know, spoke to, could.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Be not have the full story or whatever.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Or it could be that it is totally right, and
Kevin Durant has given you another another story because he
doesn't want that out. But this whole idea that whenever
there's some story, it's about clicks, and that's what we're
trying to do. No, we're trying to do stories. We're
trying to get information. We're reporters, you know, I hear
people say this all the time. This guy's just trying
to sell a book. That's why people write books, is
(24:46):
to sell them.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I live by this. Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
So are you trolling and rolling it? You gotta say, oh,
I'm rolling it. Okay, they see melling.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I'm rolling it. I think I think steven A was
right on. I think the Sun okay, trolling it bad? Yeah,
I think I think the Sons were doing some some
some some catch up, some some some. Hey, let's put
this back in the bag because whatever we attempted to
do didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
All right, moving on quick learning there, Sean, you'll get
here for question number two and we'll start with your question.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Let's go back.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
So you guys talked about earlier in the show, Trevor
Lawrence got the big bag. He is now the highest
paid quarterback in the NFL in terms of average annual value.
And so with all of that going on, people are
talking more about the Jags then they have, quite honestly
than ever before. As a result, the Jags linebacker Devin
Lloyd was asked about the team's expectations for this upcoming season.
(25:44):
Now they got Trevor Lawrence, under contract, and his answer was,
the expectations are the same, so super Bowl Sean trolling
or rolling that the Jacksonville Jaguars are legitimate Super Bowl contenders?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Trolling?
Speaker 13 (26:01):
Oh many, Hey.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I'm just it's hard for me to envision in a
conference that has Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
an up and coming c J. Stroud that, you know,
heying Trevor Lawrence for what you think he's gonna do
a couple of years from now was a smart move.
I still just I'm trolling.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna troll it as well.
Speaker 13 (26:26):
Oh many, Hey.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I'm just not there.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I mean, you know, after that big comeback in the
playoff Trevor Lawrence, people were crazy about him right and thought, wow,
you know, maybe they took a turn Sean, you know,
like a like an unbelievable turn, and then all of
a sudden it just kind of nothing happened. I mean,
they took a step back last year. It was a
disappointing season. So I'm not robbing.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
In hindsight, I learned more about Justin Herbert in that
game than I did Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Did you yep in what way, I think Herbert's overrated. Yeah, okay,
I'll tell you you know what. And Herbert took a
step back last year as well. Who was bad.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Trolling and rolling here in the Akaba Fox Sports here,
I got two more for you. You talked about this one
earlier a little bit as well, with Brian Finley. Oklahoma
State head football coach Mike Gundy really putting his foot
in his mouth for the hether today was speaking about
Ollie Gordon's recent DUI arrest and saying one of the
reasons why he did not suspend the star running back
(27:27):
for this upcoming season, not even week one, not half
a quarter, not a quarter, nothing like that, is because
he himself has probably done that a thousand times. Rob
Parker trolling to rolling that Mike Gundy's decision number one
not to suspend his star running back for the DUI
(27:49):
coupled with the fact that he said, Hey, I've probably
done that myself a thousand times, trolling Roland, that alone
is enough for Mike Gundhy to get suspended maybe for
a game or two this season.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I'm rolling with it, he told on hisself. He just did.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
He said it basically, Yeah, I've done it too. I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna hold that against it. Uh
duy should not be tolerated. And nowadays with what's going on,
I mean, thank god nobody was hurt, but people lose
jobs now over DUIs. It's not the old day Sean
where people like, oh you know, oh you had a
(28:27):
couple of pops. People will lose their gigs. And you've
seen it on television. You're an analyst or you're you
get a duy Sean and people look differently at you.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
Can you choose both in this game? Rolling and trolling
or oh?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Pick all right?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And here's why I do like it. He didn't succumb
to pressure, and they're gonna handle it internally, but I'm
gonna ultimately troll because it's collegiate athletics and I just
don't think as the face of an athletic department of
university that you can get up on a platform and
give that messaging out. I just don't think you can.
So I'm gonna troller it.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
All right.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Last one trolling a rolling here on the eye couple.
DeMar Derozen just got traded to the Sacramento Kings and
during one of his first interviews with a local media outlet,
was asked about his appearance in that Kendrick Lamar music
video for not Like Us, the anthem for basically the
entire spring and if anyone's heard the song, if you
(29:27):
haven't heard the song, a lot of the conversation in
that song and some of the other songs that Kendrick
made towards Drake insinuated that Drake is a pedophile and
you know that DeMar de Rosen played for the Raptors.
Drake was a big fan of the Raptor that he
owns part of the team. So when Derozen was asked
(29:48):
about his appearance in the video, given that he's friends
with Drake, he said, in part, I love Drake, but
Kendrick is like family to me. Sean, are you trolling
or rolling that? Giving the lyrical content in that song
and in this beef between Kendrick and Drake, specifically the
(30:09):
pedophilia in allegations that DeMar DeRozan would have been better
off just sitting this one out.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
NA, I'm rolling with this because he's he's from la right,
Like that's the crib, Like I mean, if you're rocking
with Kendrick privately, then you gotta rock with Kendrick publicly.
And I don't really have a problem with the content
because they were battling and on the other side, Drake
was saying that Kendrick's kid isn't his and that he's
(30:39):
not married and you know him and he beat up
women like and none of that's been substantiated either. So
they were both just throwing stuff out there. I'm rolling
with this one. I'm not a problem with it.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
So you said he should step out, he should, right
trolling around this one out, Yeah, he should have, So
I'm rolling with that. He should have set it out.
Oh I was told he's saying okay, right, okay, So
that's where I am, uh rolling with it.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
You should have said it.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Whenever you bring up stuff like that, you gotta be
careful pedophilia and and without proof.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
And without doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
I'm just saying, like, that's that kind of conversation.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I'm bowing out.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I'm not interested in being involved in any of that stuff.
You just gotta be careful with people's names and their
reputations and not be that flip with it to put
it in a song. To me, that's me that's the
old guy and me, I just wouldn't be a part
of it.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Hey, Rob, would that be the equivalent of, like, if
you put out a rant on a podcast saying Chris
Brussard is a man of the Lord, but I seen
him in Magic City three times last week? That would
would I be making a mistake if I'm like, I
can't go on your pod anymore. Like that's what you're saying, right,
Like you might want to just dis yourself. You want
(31:57):
to be swisch, that's all. You can support it, but
you don't got to be there. But I don't have
to be in the video. I can let it go,
all right, Rob G. We appreciate it, Sorr. It's we'll
get it next time.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, it ain't easy. You gotta you gotta learn. Yeah,
all right, uh Rob G, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Jalen Brunson is on the verge of making a colossal mistake.
We'll get into that next. It is the odd couple
on Fox Sports Radio. You know what you need to do,
stick and stay simply.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
To possibly learn the right way to play trolling a
rollin in the US of There we go.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
It is the odd couple Fox Sports Radio wrapping up
a trash talking Tuesday. We're broadcasting live from the tire
rack dot com studios. Tyre rack dot com will help
you get there an unmatched selection fast, free ship and
free road, has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
(33:05):
That's right, You heard me right, tyrech dot com. The
way tire buying should be. Rob Parker along with the King,
Sean King, and the former NFL quarterback filling it for
Chris Bushad who will be back, Menyana and Sean. It
has been fun the last couple of days. I know
it was better than when you were doing it with Chris,
but I'm just.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Only it's been a pleasure you both for both for
elite and both in your field, and it is a
pleasure to be on.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Man. We're great to have you, no doubt about it.
Rob G.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Can you tell us about Jalen Brunton and how much
sugara h Sean that's my Yiddish for crazy, how much
sugar he is to even consider taking less money. I please,
This is crazy, Rob Parker.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Now, according to the athletics Fred Katz, the Knicks on
Friday are prepared to offer Jalen Brunton a four year,
one hundred fifty seven million contract extension, which sounds good
and he's seriously considering taking the deal. Here's the problem, though,
while this new offer would give him a massive raise
on his current salary, it's also over one hundred million
(34:10):
dollars less than he could get on the open market
if he decides to wait a year and sign or
re sign in free agency.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Sean, you're a former athlete, are you what what?
Speaker 6 (34:25):
I'll say this? I kind of get it. No, you don't,
and I do. And here's why. He's the son of
a coach. He's happy to be in New York. He
knows that the Knicks have not won an NBA championship
since nineteen seventy three. He's already made sixty million dollars.
(34:49):
He's got another fifty years left on this deal. If
he signs for another one hundred and fifty that'll be
two hundred and fifty plus million in career earnings when
that deal is up. So it's not like he had
made a boatload, he'll have made a quarter of a
billion dollars. But he knows the Knicks have shown that
they'll go out and trade for Michel Bridges, they'll play
(35:10):
og Anobe like they're doing the things to put them
in a position to win a championship. And it seems like,
because he's already kind of solidified a little bit, he's
willing to roll the dice and make a little less
money on the court because the championship for the Knicks
with Jalen Brunson as the best player is priceless for
(35:30):
him after his basketball career.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Dude, do you know who the owner of the knickses? YEP,
I know, j James Dolan. Like him.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
We haven't liked him since he kicked Charles Oakley out
of the gar on.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
But what discounts he given fans or players?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
I simply to why I understand how Brunson could be
looking at this.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Stop giving owners welfare like you're giving him a discount.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Oh, you need to help them.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
You know what the front office's job is is to
be able to manipulate it, make it work with the
salary cap and do the best job that they have
Why should you give somebody a hometown discount when they're
ready to get rid of you or dump you or
whatever it is, they just do it. You don't owe
him anything, and taking less money doesn't mean the Knicks
(36:18):
or any close to winning anything.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
I'm just it's my career journalist. You know that words matter.
I never used the word discount. I never used to
give a break to I simply said if I was
Jalen brunt Son and I was thinking about making this decision,
I could understand how he's looking at it.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Give me my money, give me what my word is.
I just want what I'm entitled to.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Charge Rob g how much is a title worth for
the New York Nicks.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
You're the guarantee that you're gonna get a title.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
And if that's the case, they've been looking for a
title since Moby Dick was a guppy.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
All Right, I'm just saying, man.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Showing you can guarantee he's gonna win a title, you're
guarante guarantee you. Okay, here it is, I'll take you.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Is I agreed with him. I'm simply giving you the
reasoning that could understandably make understand why he would make
that decision.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
To me, it's silly to take less money.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
You should get what you're entitled to and what the
fair market price is. Let the people upstairs handle that business. Okay,
that's on them. That's why they make money. That's why
they have a capiologist. They got to figure all that
stuff out. That has nothing to do with me. I'm sorry,
And you know what, Fox Sports Radio. I want everything dime,
(37:35):
That's what I want. Hey, Sean, it was a pleasure,
my man.
Speaker 6 (37:41):
I'll beat you up too many.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
No, are you kidding? Sean?
Speaker 6 (37:43):
You right when you leave the Fox Studios. That got
an ice machine right there. Just grab a couple of cubes.
Put them on your eye.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Sean.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
I know you're headed to the hospital in Las Vegas
as we speak. It's okay, hey, Sean, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (37:57):

(00:57):
dot com the way tire by should be. On this
trash Talking Tuesday, we just had a nice flurry of
trash talkers, Sean, did you enjoyed a little trash talking Tuesday?
Very nice guests, no doubt. People jumping in and Sean,
here we are. We're going to in the final hour
of the program tonight talk about Awful Announcing, which is
(01:22):
that kind of fan website that talks about the media.
People in the media, moving the jobs, things that they say, issues, problems,
all that stuff. They compared Bronnie James and Tim Tebow.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Rob g Ken, you let us in on this.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah, awful announcing is taking some shots at the odd
couple over the years, but they are spot on. You
know what, can they let Chris let Chris be I mean,
let him breathe, let him breathe. Guys, all right, so
awful announcings. Andrew Buckles wrote a column in the wake
of Bronnie james inauspicious summer league debut.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Here's what he wrote.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
One of the areas in sports that draws the most
comment is when a media organization's coverage of an athlete
seems outsized relative to that athlete's on field impact. This
was seen for many years with Tim Tebow in particular
through his NFL career, but especially his minor league baseball career.
(02:22):
Oh yes, but has come up with many others as
well since then, the latest example being ESPN's coverage of
Brownie james summer league debut on Saturday. What gets missed
in some of these celebrity stories around sports is that
they do actively alienate some others who want the emphasis
(02:42):
on the on court product. That's why it's important to
find balance and limit that kind of celebrity coverage.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Spot on the spot on Sean King. It's just like,
I get it. I've been in these meetings. Play the hits.
Everybody else, you know, everybody wants to talk about the
lebron and Tom Brady and Aaron Ryan.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Like, play the hits and all that. I get it,
but it can be.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
It can be frustrating to listen to and hear when
it's a beat, a drum beat for somebody who's not
even playing or doesn't have that much, uh, you know, potential,
at least from the from the ants from the beginning,
Like the Tim Tebow playing for the Mets in the
minor leagues.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
He was not making it to the major leagues.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
He just wasn't, but there was a ridiculous amount of
coverage because Tim Tebow moves the needle. Bronnie James moves
the needle. Regardless of how many minutes he plays, he
shoots two for nine, They're still going to push him.
And it's frustrating as a sports fan, and I think
that as a member of the media.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It drives me.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Crazy and I'm a part of it. It drives me crazy.
Where are you is?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's all warranted?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Just give people what they want and whoever is the
new hotness that that that's all that matters.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
I just think you can't ever dictate what the fan
bases are passionate about. I mean, we're coming off a
year where Boston beat the Mavericks in the NBA Finals,
Yet there are more people interested in what's going on
with the Lakers than there are in what's going on
in Boston or that was just kind of is what
it is. You have these marquee brands and they're polarizing,
and most of the topics that really generate, you know, attention,
(04:28):
whether it be listeners, whether it be viewers, are people
are athletes that kind of everybody's kind of split, but
they care. Half the people hate their guts maybe something
for no reason. The other half think they walk on water.
And that's what you kind of get t Bow. That
was that kind of athlete, Lebron. That's the kind of athlete, BRONI.
That's the kind of athlete.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
That doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that they can't
be covered. But don't give me I'll give you a
perfect example, I'll never forget it. Tim Tebow has some
awful game, has one hundred and three yards and leads
the last drive and the field goal kicker kicks an
(05:10):
eighty nine yard field goal to win the game, and
the camera is on not on the kicker, it's on
Tim Tebow.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Tim.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Look, well, look what Tim Tebow did. Like the kicker
kicked the field goal and win the game. It wasn't
like t Bow to an eighty nine touchdown or something
or some unbelievable drive. And the story wouldn't be about
the kicker who kicked the field goal and win the
game at the end. It was about t Bow who
had one hundred and three yards and was god awful
(05:38):
for the first three quarters of the game.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
That's what I'm talking about. It ain't I get it.
And the you know what you're.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Talking about, polarizing and all this stuff. If you want to,
you want to watch the news, you could just watch
the news and we could show you every train wreck,
every bad thing that ever happens. And that's not what
the news is supposed to be. You're supposed to filter
route and put stuff that's important based on some merit.
It just can't be what moves the needles. You know
(06:07):
what the news would look like, Sean, if we did that,
we could do that. There's plenty of bad stuff to
show people. That's not what the news is.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Listen, the people like what they like.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Rob.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
It's just to the point where the journalist doesn't get
to decide.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
The journal get to decide. You're reactive.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
If you ever sat in the newsroom, more in a
meeting for the front page of the newspaper, or what's going.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
To lead the news, it ain't like if it bleeds,
it leads.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Let's just put all right, somebody was a baby fell
out the window this, students were gunned down in high school.
They don't lead the news with that every day it happens.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying you're just being
a little unrealistic.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
I'm unrealistic. No, I think it's lazy.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Lazy by the media. It's lazy.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
You can write the greatest book ever written in regarding
something sports centric, and if people don't buy it, they
don't bite it. If they go out and buy the
autobiography of John Day, you want to hear about him
drinking beer on the golf course, they get to decide
it's just the truth.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
And let me tell you why. So you're telling me
that the National Inquiry was better than the New York Times,
I'm not telling you all right, but they saw you copy,
they sold more copies.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
That don't make it. If she was a rag, it.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Doesn't mean that it's better or what people need to
read into. And I'm just saying, Sean, people are lazy.
The people who are in the sports the media are lazy.
Let's pick the same five topics and bang them and
beat them to death.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Enough already, all right, and then when.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You talk about Bridie, you're not even gonna give us
a fair analysis of them.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, we gotta wait and see. Well, you know he's
a young player.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
No, he was awful tonight. He was two for nine.
He couldn't hit the side of a barn.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
And when I think, I think you're being slightly hypocritical. Wow,
because what we should have been talking about on any
sports talk radio show is Brandon Nemo hit another home run.
He's not in the All Star Game. We're what a
week away from the Major League Baseball All Star Game.
But baseball just doesn't drive traffic we're talking about Lebron
James being voted captain of the USA basketball team because
(08:19):
that's what people want to listen to.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Sean, it ain't wrong. Now it's relevant.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Baseball's a different animal because they play one hundred and
sixty two games. If baseball was like football and you
had seventeen games, it would be totally different. I get
it one place for every day for six years. It's
never going to be matched one for one and can't
be because it's just like you love ice cream, Sean,
(08:48):
Guess what, and then you start working at the ice
cream factory and your love for ice cream will never
be the same.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Would you agree with that?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
I agree? But on the same time, you have a
great segment you and Chris. You guys do a great
job called Trust Talking Tuesday. Everybody that called in almost
one hundred percent of We're Talking Basketball. Kings fans were
mad because they're disrespected by Laker fans. Laker fans are
defending the Lakers. It's just it. People like what they like.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Rob That's fine.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
There's no reason Tim Tebow was overblown. It was way
too much. It was over the top. It's the same
thing with Bronny I get it. I know it moves
the needle. Don't get me wrong. That doesn't mean and
the one thing I love about this show and rob
G knows it when me and Chris started this show,
we refuse to do the same topics over and over.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
You guys have a great show, you do.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
We won't do it, rob G.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Did we not say to ourselves we will not do that,
because we could get on here every day and talk
about Lebron James and talk about Aaron Rodgers and back
when Tom Brady and do those topics every single day
and and and take and take the night off.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Rob G?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Didn't we We've got we made a concerted effort not
to do that.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Absolutely another because effort. If we wanted to get a
guest on and they said you cannot ask me about
X topic, which happened to be a big topic, we
would say thanks, but no thanks.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We won't have them on.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
We won't have them on.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And so all I'm saying, Sean, is that the Bronny
coverage will be Now, what happens when the season starts
and he's not playing?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Are they gonna lead Sports Center?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Bronni had the eighteen DMP tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
What do you think of that? Is that where we're
gonna go.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
I'm just asking as the game started, yet that wouldn't
it be the late game. I don't like to agree
with you, but I will agree with you in this sense.
I listened to the Odd Couple all the time. That's
why I jumped at the opportunity to fill in both
when you went on vacation and Chris went on vacation,
because you guys actually speak truth. I think sports talk
should be about educating your listeners. I think you should
(10:50):
keep some of the topics current, but you should always
make your listener smarter. And that doesn't always revolve around
the sensationalization of what everyone else is talking about, right
you guys, And that's all I'm saying, Especially U, I
know you're really driving the ship.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Well he's the boss, but but you get My point
is the brownie coverage is just over the top. Like
the Tim Tebow that was really bad. I was at
ESPN during that time, Sean. You think you were there
too at that time, and it was every five minutes
Tim Tebow helst.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Like the perfect storm because you had this young man
that was homeschool that wreri was Christianity outwardly in public
that had won us a Heisman. But in some ways
he could play. He was limited because of the position,
like if you just baseline, okay, you got to be this,
this and this. But he won a lot of games
(11:43):
playing that position as well.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
But guy, if he really if people really bought into him.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You remember he went with the Jets. And where else
did he go after that? He with Denver.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
He beat the Steelers in the playoffs too. He's a
playoff win in quarterback? Do you remember and do you
remember that play? The only thing I want to say
is Dick Lebows was a defensive court Hall of Famer, right,
and they had what they have everybody on a lot
of scrimmage. They didn't think he could throw like an
eight yard pass. Sean, go back and look at the
defense of alive and of that. Hey, here's what I'm
(12:15):
am I right or wrong on that. I set all
that the vacuum into a corner. And I'm about to
use your words against you, Rob Parker. So I want
you to hear this clearly, because you made one of
the most ridiculous statements I've ever heard earlier in the show.
You said Lebron James does not impact winning, well, guess
who does Tim Tebow. T Bow may be one of
the most five impactful college football players in history. No,
(12:39):
I'm talking about in the pros. I'm not talking about
his college career. I'm talking about the pros.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
He was a zero. He was a zero.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
He was And if that winning and that win against
Pittsburgh meant anything it did, he would have.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
He would have.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
It's one of the losses that people try and use
to like substantiate that Mike Tomlin shouldn't still be the
head coach of the Steelers. At the end of the day,
what t Bow did it Florida When you look back
on that era, that group of guys keeping.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
He only won one championship, right, he was on the team.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
He was on the team with Chris Leak the first time.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
But Kevin, I'm just saying, I mean, half.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
That team has turned out to be, you know, not
the best American citizens we've ever had. So from a
leadership standpoint, a loan just keeping those guys available on Saturdays,
like you're not gonna talk trash about Tim Tebow. He's
a Florida icon.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
All right, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
H eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox his all
telephone number. Is it fair to say that the media
coverage of Brownie James has jumped the shark the same
way it did for Tim Tebow.

live from the tyrerech dot com studios. I'll telephone number
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
(15:16):
nine nine six nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
And we're talking about the coverage. Has the coverage of
Bronnie James jumped to Shark like it did for Tim Tebow.
We want to hear from you and I know Sean
people are ready to go at this. So we're loaded
for bear.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Let's do it all right, let's rock and roll. Ken
in Stockton. You're on the Odd Couple.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
What you got hey, man? The only good thing in
this class couple of days, and King is Seun King.
Old Cole rob has been all over there Ronnie James,
and now he's all over Tim Tebow. You know what,
The only good thing happened with Seawn King, not the
(15:58):
second amount of Kings.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
I'm out all right?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Yes, Korean Mesville welk are you in the odd couple?
What you got big though?
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Hey Son, Hey hey guys, thanks for taking my call.
So this is my thought on it. The two situations
are completely different. If you look at Tim Tebow's coverage,
it was warranted because he was a two time national
champion at the University of Florida. Bronnie has half a how.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
About his NFL career, It wasn't about his college career.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Nobody's talking about his college career.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
I get that, But you're talking about Bronnie coming straight
out of college. He only had half a year's experience.
And the only reason that he's even getting coverage is
because of his dad. Tim Tebow didn't have anything like that.
He didn't have a father that played in the league
like that. He didn't have the type of media coverage
around him.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
If you remember the baseball coverage with the Mets. For real,
he hadn't played baseball in twelve years. Come on, now,
you're acting like Tim Tebow got way too much Coridge
for a.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Guy wasn't going to make it to the major league.
Can you agree with that?
Speaker 9 (17:04):
I can agree with that. But what I'm saying is
you're comparing the type of coverage that Brownie is getting
right now to what Tim Tebow did, and we're looking
at like college comparison him, both of them coming out
of college.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
What I'm doing is the over coverage of that's not warranted.
It's more about that Tim Tebow was a college We
get what he did in college. Sean, I'm talking about
you remember when he played for the Mets. It was
with Dave's bet in two twenty and the ESPN's leading
with stories about Tim Tebow.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Come on, I.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Mean, Jordan was never gonna be a great baseball player.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
That covered him was the greatest player I ever played,
I know, But you're.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Talking to his baseball coverage. I mean they covered Russell
Wilson going to spring training like they did Tim Tebow.
I know. I great. Call Corey Brandon in Riverside, you're
on the odd couple.
Speaker 10 (17:51):
What you got oh, hey, guys, how you doing, Joe?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Thank you, Brandon, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 10 (17:59):
Yeah, I gotta agree with with you with the Ron Parker.
It's just a lot of coverage, especially for I mean,
we understand that Ronnie James is related to Lebron James,
we get that. But my phone was going off on
Saturdays during that game and I was like, are they
(18:20):
someone actually doing play by play of Ronnie James and
how many shots he is? And they made me seem
like his first NBA bask he was like the best
thage since anybody, And I just I just feel like that. Yes,
the coverage for Ronnie James in his overheight and too much.
(18:42):
At least Tim Pebow had an amazing college career but
in a terrible pro career of course, But Ronnie James,
he's just Lebron James son that got the opportunity and
I'm happy for him for that. Hey, if I can
get at some run Shurnt, I would do it too.
But it is over.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
It's too much appreciated, Brandon. I just I'm not saying
he didn't deserve any coverage.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
It's it's the.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I mean, he was invited to the McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
He averaged four points. At USC comes invited to the
McDonald's game, he averaged four points. Did you watch him
in college?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
I mean he got injured, he was playing behind eight ball.
We got one more. We got one more caller too, Rob,
Nathan and Wisconsin. You're on the odd couple?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
What you got?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (19:30):
How you doing good?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (19:33):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's too bad.
Speaker 11 (19:34):
I just want to say, I mean, I don't think
the comfort is exactly the same because at least te
Ball got something under his belt in college. You know,
he had some wins to his name. I will say
as far as Brownie goes, though, I mean, it's just
a little ridiculous because anyone's going to get that hype
to be priced because that kid's gonna.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Run right that that kid is his size and whatnot,
He's going to be the player.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Everybody thinks that that's the case. Thanks Nathan, what squeez in? Andre?
Real quick? Okay? We got time? Go ahead?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Hey, Rob, Thanks I appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
Listen, thanks for taking the call. Listen with Bronnie James.
For me, he's the people definitely have the twelve ounce
gloves on when they're covering him, and how they're dealing
with him, and I think a lot of the independent
media folks are just flat out shook with Lebron James
and Clutch Sports in that empire. And it's crystal clear
if you have a critical take of Bronnie James, you're
just shut out of that stratosphere. Rachel Nichols, who was him,
(20:27):
and Rachel and Lebron had a friendly relationship. She gave
one less than glowing take on Bronnie, and all of
a sudden, Lebron unfollows her. So it's understood.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
And you know what, Rachel Nichols and Sean when she
had our show, her own show on CNN, her first
guest was Lebron James.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Did you know that?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
And so she gave she said something andre right about
about Bronnie James, and that was it.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
You're missing why Bronnie James is such a big story.
It's a huge story because the NBA has completely mismanaged
their draft Daybody knows who Reesa is or Star or
any of these so.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That those are the players that were drafted.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
I know Briani is a bigger celebrity in those guys.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Celebrity people are no, that's not what the league is about.
It's about the players. Stop Sean. You can't play to
the crowd because somebody has a Twitter followers and those
are the guys that you're going to go.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
By raft NBA fix it? How, how, Sean, give me
about how? How do you fix it?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
They need to make make it more about discovery, like
people are going to introduce the people they don't know.
That's the There are only really two drafts that anybody
cares about. NBA to a lesser extent of the NFL
Draft the NFL draft.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Man.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
There's been so much coverage of all those individuals. People
are familiar with them.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
They feel like they know also play major college football
and they on Saturday, so people know.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
They got international players that the NFL wi'll have to deal.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
With public to the no one knows who the majority
of these guys are. That's why Bronnie's an even bigger story.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
It's because of his dad. Has nothing to do with Bronnie.
It's about his dad, James family.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Hey, whatever you want to do, I'm gonna keep it real,
all right. It is the Odd Company, all right.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Coming up next, we're gonna do a little trolling and rolling,
and Rob g is in for Martin Weis's on that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We'll do that next, but first let's get you caught up.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
listen live.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Tom Brady, he's done, Aaron Rodgers did not have a
Pro Bowl season.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
Trying to kiss me.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
It's trolling or rolling.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
That's right, it is trolling and rolling.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Here on the EYD couple on Fox Sports Radio, say
when we go and discuss some of the topics.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We didn't quite have time for in the big show.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
And if you guys like the story, you get the
roll sound. And if you don't like, get the troll sound.
Oh man, now, Sean, I don't know if you've done
this segment before. So we'll let Rob get the first
crack here at question number one.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
All right, I learned fast. Rob Parker.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Kevin Durant has been in the headlines a lot over
the last couple of weeks, especially around the NBA Draft.
You'll recall Friend of the Show and ESPN First Take
star Stephen A. Smith made headlines leading up to the
draft when he said that the Suns wanted to get
out of the KD business. While Durant addressed that report
(23:39):
with friend of the show Vince Goodwill for Yahoo Sports
earlier this week, saying that Stephen A. Quote lied about
him wanting out of Phoenix and the Phoenix wanting out
of him four quote clicks and he was disgusted by
the whole situation. Rob Parker trollin' a Roland that friend
of the show Stephen A. Smith would lie about such
(24:01):
a report just to get more eyeballs on his TV show.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Of course I'm trolling it.
Speaker 13 (24:07):
Oh man, Hey, hey.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
It doesn't mean that Stephen A.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Might have gotten some wrong information or somebody's source that
he knows or Sean you know, spoke to, could.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Be not have the full story or whatever.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Or it could be that it is totally right, and
Kevin Durant has given you another another story because he
doesn't want that out. But this whole idea that whenever
there's some story, it's about clicks, and that's what we're
trying to do. No, we're trying to do stories. We're
trying to get information. We're reporters, you know, I hear
people say this all the time. This guy's just trying
to sell a book. That's why people write books, is
(24:46):
to sell them.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I live by this. Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
So are you trolling and rolling it? You gotta say, oh,
I'm rolling it. Okay, they see melling.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I'm rolling it. I think I think steven A was
right on. I think the Sun okay, trolling it bad? Yeah,
I think I think the Sons were doing some some
some some catch up, some some some. Hey, let's put
this back in the bag because whatever we attempted to
do didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
All right, moving on quick learning there, Sean, you'll get
here for question number two and we'll start with your question.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Let's go back.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
So you guys talked about earlier in the show, Trevor
Lawrence got the big bag. He is now the highest
paid quarterback in the NFL in terms of average annual value.
And so with all of that going on, people are
talking more about the Jags then they have, quite honestly
than ever before. As a result, the Jags linebacker Devin
Lloyd was asked about the team's expectations for this upcoming season.
(25:44):
Now they got Trevor Lawrence, under contract, and his answer was,
the expectations are the same, so super Bowl Sean trolling
or rolling that the Jacksonville Jaguars are legitimate Super Bowl contenders?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Trolling?
Speaker 13 (26:01):
Oh many, Hey.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I'm just it's hard for me to envision in a
conference that has Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
an up and coming c J. Stroud that, you know,
heying Trevor Lawrence for what you think he's gonna do
a couple of years from now was a smart move.
I still just I'm trolling.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, I'm gonna troll it as well.
Speaker 13 (26:26):
Oh many, Hey.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I'm just not there.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I mean, you know, after that big comeback in the
playoff Trevor Lawrence, people were crazy about him right and thought, wow,
you know, maybe they took a turn Sean, you know,
like a like an unbelievable turn, and then all of
a sudden it just kind of nothing happened. I mean,
they took a step back last year. It was a
disappointing season. So I'm not robbing.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
In hindsight, I learned more about Justin Herbert in that
game than I did Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Did you yep in what way, I think Herbert's overrated. Yeah, okay,
I'll tell you you know what. And Herbert took a
step back last year as well. Who was bad.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Trolling and rolling here in the Akaba Fox Sports here,
I got two more for you. You talked about this one
earlier a little bit as well, with Brian Finley. Oklahoma
State head football coach Mike Gundy really putting his foot
in his mouth for the hether today was speaking about
Ollie Gordon's recent DUI arrest and saying one of the
reasons why he did not suspend the star running back
(27:27):
for this upcoming season, not even week one, not half
a quarter, not a quarter, nothing like that, is because
he himself has probably done that a thousand times. Rob
Parker trolling to rolling that Mike Gundy's decision number one
not to suspend his star running back for the DUI
(27:49):
coupled with the fact that he said, Hey, I've probably
done that myself a thousand times, trolling Roland, that alone
is enough for Mike Gundhy to get suspended maybe for
a game or two this season.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I'm rolling with it, he told on hisself. He just did.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
He said it basically, Yeah, I've done it too. I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna hold that against it. Uh
duy should not be tolerated. And nowadays with what's going on,
I mean, thank god nobody was hurt, but people lose
jobs now over DUIs. It's not the old day Sean
where people like, oh you know, oh you had a
(28:27):
couple of pops. People will lose their gigs. And you've
seen it on television. You're an analyst or you're you
get a duy Sean and people look differently at you.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
Can you choose both in this game? Rolling and trolling
or oh?
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Pick all right?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And here's why I do like it. He didn't succumb
to pressure, and they're gonna handle it internally, but I'm
gonna ultimately troll because it's collegiate athletics and I just
don't think as the face of an athletic department of
university that you can get up on a platform and
give that messaging out. I just don't think you can.
So I'm gonna troller it.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
All right.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Last one trolling a rolling here on the eye couple.
DeMar Derozen just got traded to the Sacramento Kings and
during one of his first interviews with a local media outlet,
was asked about his appearance in that Kendrick Lamar music
video for not Like Us, the anthem for basically the
entire spring and if anyone's heard the song, if you
(29:27):
haven't heard the song, a lot of the conversation in
that song and some of the other songs that Kendrick
made towards Drake insinuated that Drake is a pedophile and
you know that DeMar de Rosen played for the Raptors.
Drake was a big fan of the Raptor that he
owns part of the team. So when Derozen was asked
(29:48):
about his appearance in the video, given that he's friends
with Drake, he said, in part, I love Drake, but
Kendrick is like family to me. Sean, are you trolling
or rolling that? Giving the lyrical content in that song
and in this beef between Kendrick and Drake, specifically the
(30:09):
pedophilia in allegations that DeMar DeRozan would have been better
off just sitting this one out.
Speaker 6 (30:17):
NA, I'm rolling with this because he's he's from la right,
Like that's the crib, Like I mean, if you're rocking
with Kendrick privately, then you gotta rock with Kendrick publicly.
And I don't really have a problem with the content
because they were battling and on the other side, Drake
was saying that Kendrick's kid isn't his and that he's
(30:39):
not married and you know him and he beat up
women like and none of that's been substantiated either. So
they were both just throwing stuff out there. I'm rolling
with this one. I'm not a problem with it.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
So you said he should step out, he should, right
trolling around this one out, Yeah, he should have, So
I'm rolling with that. He should have set it out.
Oh I was told he's saying okay, right, okay, So
that's where I am, uh rolling with it.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
You should have said it.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Whenever you bring up stuff like that, you gotta be
careful pedophilia and and without proof.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
And without doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
I'm just saying, like, that's that kind of conversation.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I'm bowing out.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I'm not interested in being involved in any of that stuff.
You just gotta be careful with people's names and their
reputations and not be that flip with it to put
it in a song. To me, that's me that's the
old guy and me, I just wouldn't be a part
of it.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Hey, Rob, would that be the equivalent of, like, if
you put out a rant on a podcast saying Chris
Brussard is a man of the Lord, but I seen
him in Magic City three times last week? That would
would I be making a mistake if I'm like, I
can't go on your pod anymore. Like that's what you're saying, right,
Like you might want to just dis yourself. You want
(31:57):
to be swisch, that's all. You can support it, but
you don't got to be there. But I don't have
to be in the video. I can let it go,
all right, Rob G. We appreciate it, Sorr. It's we'll
get it next time.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, it ain't easy. You gotta you gotta learn. Yeah,
all right, uh Rob G, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Jalen Brunson is on the verge of making a colossal mistake.
We'll get into that next. It is the odd couple
on Fox Sports Radio. You know what you need to do,
stick and stay simply.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
To possibly learn the right way to play trolling a
rollin in the US of There we go.

It is the odd couple Fox Sports Radio wrapping up
a trash talking Tuesday. We're broadcasting live from the tire
rack dot com studios. Tyre rack dot com will help
you get there an unmatched selection fast, free ship and
free road, has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
(33:05):
That's right, You heard me right, tyrech dot com. The
way tire buying should be. Rob Parker along with the King,
Sean King, and the former NFL quarterback filling it for
Chris Bushad who will be back, Menyana and Sean. It
has been fun the last couple of days. I know
it was better than when you were doing it with Chris,
but I'm just.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Only it's been a pleasure you both for both for
elite and both in your field, and it is a
pleasure to be on.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Man. We're great to have you, no doubt about it.
Rob G.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Can you tell us about Jalen Brunton and how much
sugara h Sean that's my Yiddish for crazy, how much
sugar he is to even consider taking less money. I please,
This is crazy, Rob Parker.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Now, according to the athletics Fred Katz, the Knicks on
Friday are prepared to offer Jalen Brunton a four year,
one hundred fifty seven million contract extension, which sounds good
and he's seriously considering taking the deal. Here's the problem, though,
while this new offer would give him a massive raise
on his current salary, it's also over one hundred million
(34:10):
dollars less than he could get on the open market
if he decides to wait a year and sign or
re sign in free agency.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Sean, you're a former athlete, are you what what?
Speaker 6 (34:25):
I'll say this? I kind of get it. No, you don't,
and I do. And here's why. He's the son of
a coach. He's happy to be in New York. He
knows that the Knicks have not won an NBA championship
since nineteen seventy three. He's already made sixty million dollars.
(34:49):
He's got another fifty years left on this deal. If
he signs for another one hundred and fifty that'll be
two hundred and fifty plus million in career earnings when
that deal is up. So it's not like he had
made a boatload, he'll have made a quarter of a
billion dollars. But he knows the Knicks have shown that
they'll go out and trade for Michel Bridges, they'll play
(35:10):
og Anobe like they're doing the things to put them
in a position to win a championship. And it seems like,
because he's already kind of solidified a little bit, he's
willing to roll the dice and make a little less
money on the court because the championship for the Knicks
with Jalen Brunson as the best player is priceless for
(35:30):
him after his basketball career.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Dude, do you know who the owner of the knickses? YEP,
I know, j James Dolan. Like him.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
We haven't liked him since he kicked Charles Oakley out
of the gar on.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
But what discounts he given fans or players?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
I simply to why I understand how Brunson could be
looking at this.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Stop giving owners welfare like you're giving him a discount.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Oh, you need to help them.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
You know what the front office's job is is to
be able to manipulate it, make it work with the
salary cap and do the best job that they have
Why should you give somebody a hometown discount when they're
ready to get rid of you or dump you or
whatever it is, they just do it. You don't owe
him anything, and taking less money doesn't mean the Knicks
(36:18):
or any close to winning anything.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
I'm just it's my career journalist. You know that words matter.
I never used the word discount. I never used to
give a break to I simply said if I was
Jalen brunt Son and I was thinking about making this decision,
I could understand how he's looking at it.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Give me my money, give me what my word is.
I just want what I'm entitled to.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Charge Rob g how much is a title worth for
the New York Nicks.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
You're the guarantee that you're gonna get a title.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
And if that's the case, they've been looking for a
title since Moby Dick was a guppy.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
All Right, I'm just saying, man.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Showing you can guarantee he's gonna win a title, you're
guarante guarantee you. Okay, here it is, I'll take you.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
Is I agreed with him. I'm simply giving you the
reasoning that could understandably make understand why he would make
that decision.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
To me, it's silly to take less money.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
You should get what you're entitled to and what the
fair market price is. Let the people upstairs handle that business. Okay,
that's on them. That's why they make money. That's why
they have a capiologist. They got to figure all that
stuff out. That has nothing to do with me. I'm sorry,
And you know what, Fox Sports Radio. I want everything dime,
(37:35):
That's what I want. Hey, Sean, it was a pleasure,
my man.
Speaker 6 (37:41):
I'll beat you up too many.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
No, are you kidding? Sean?
Speaker 6 (37:43):
You right when you leave the Fox Studios. That got
an ice machine right there. Just grab a couple of cubes.
Put them on your eye.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Sean.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
I know you're headed to the hospital in Las Vegas
as we speak. It's okay, hey, Sean, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Christmas. Back tomorrow the odd couple.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yes.
