Am I right?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Tyser's Tower of Trivia making a return. I feel like
it's been a while since we've done that. Alex, Alex
must have gotten away. He must be in the crates.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I'm saying, Tyser's Tower of Trivia coming up at the
bottom of the hour. It really feels like we haven't
done that in a long time.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I thought my contracts that I need more money before
we do that again. But I'll talk with her.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
We'll get that. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Rob G's missed money bags, I mean Rob Pete, Rob Parker's.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Rob actually ruined it for me. You want to know why,
because Rob Parker had another meeting with the Bobs and
he ended up leaving with more shrimp than last time,
this time three portions of shrimp.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Right right, that's a true story. That's not just for jokes.
I doubled.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I tripled down today, Chris, I definitely what yes, seriously.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, he went today, got his double order of shrimp,
not his single order like last orders.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Of shrimp, because I had the uh I Alfredo Fredi
chini Alfredo. So normally if I do it, I'll get
one order of shrimp. So I just said, let me
skip to the to the to the to the end.
I'll get a double order to go with my Alfredo, right,
and then I ordered a third to go, so I
had three orders of the bosses.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Let you do this.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They didn't rip up your contract in your face. Oh my,
what did they say?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Well, they just laughed and all they were like, well,
what should we expect if you want to double for
your lunch. We already knew that another one was coming,
but they did ask me on the way out.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They said no cheesecake, and I was like, no cheesecake
for me to go to your yeah, diet because something
down to one eighty nine. I feel good?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Well, Chris, you know what's worse is that after this happened, myself,
Rob Parker, DJ, Alex Sish are all in the kitchen.
The boss comes in like, hey, when are me and
Alex gonna get whined and dine?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
And because Boss is cool, he's like, hey, you know what, Yeah,
we'll make that happen. And I was like, yeah, yeah,
when you guys want to go and no, no, no, you
rob you one.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm like, wow, I'm not one to team you got
another one? Get another one now? Right? Wow? Maybe I'll
come out to l A.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Okay, Chris, Chris gonna find three thousand miles to get
free shrup as that get.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Free cheesecake factor because they don't got those in Jersey.
I don't know when I'll be out in l A again.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, I told you might be the I'm gonna hook
up with my Manu next week.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Uh befin something's gonna happen. There's no way that this
union happens. No, it would definitely happen.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Anyway we're taking are are you really taking? That's not
gonna make it? What are the odds? Just like three
to one, they're not gonna make it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wow, that's enough to make me just absolutely even if
I was like, you know, gonna pull out. All right,
let's get to it, ant Man, last night, we talked
about it earlier.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Anthony Davis was great.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You could call him the star of last night's exhibition
victory for the United States over Canada, their first bit
of action. But Rob, it was interesting, and I know
it's just one game. I wouldn't I'm not gonna make
a big deal out of it. Although I do think
Anthony Davis looked a lot better than Joe LMBI. That
(04:21):
to me was significant, more so because of Mbiad's just health.
It wasn't like, if he was healthy, Rob, I wouldn't
even think it's that big of a deal. But the
fact that he's not fully healthy. He ended the season
obviously playing on one leg, so to speak. They're all
talking about how he's not back to one hundred percent
(04:43):
now I'm kind of like, why is he out there playing?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Why? And then Anthony Davis did look a lot better.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But Rob the second team, which was the young guys,
they looked better than the first team.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, they like you said, I mean you you were
upset that that Lebron was the best player in Kings.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That's what I was saying.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Because of the younger players, Chris, they should be the
ones out there moving and shaken. It's not a disrespect,
it's that the young boys should be out there.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's what I am. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They they they should be taking control of this situation.
And last night, look, Tyrese Halliburton, Rob comes off the.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Bench six assists for steals.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It was a team high four steals, team high six assists.
I mentioned Anthony Davis not a young boy, but he
was with that second unit team team high four blocks,
eleven boards to go along with ten points. Jason Tatum,
uh the numbers. You know, he drove to the basket,
(05:47):
you know, attacked the rim. He had eight points, but
got him going in the first half when they were down.
Uh bam out of Bayu was pretty good with seven
rebounds himself. And Anthony Edwards, Robbed. Everybody's trying to push
the Jordans second Jordan, you know, second coming to Michael
Jordan on him. But last night he looked really good,
(06:08):
six for ten from the field, Rob, So in nineteen
minutes he scores thirteen points, which was a team high,
also added a steal and three boards.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And he you know, he said one thing I like
about him.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I like a lot about him, but is that he
is not scared and he respects the older guys.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I mean, I think that's clear, Rob.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
He's actually able to, like I guess, kind of sort
of talk trash, be braggadocious, but.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
In a way and let me throw these and not
defer to the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Older legends he's playing with, but in a way that
doesn't come off as disrespectful, like when when he talked
trash to Kevin Durant in the playoff series and they
swept the Timberwell swept the suns. I mean, he he
gave so much love to Durant in the in the
(07:17):
uh in the press conference, saying that it was his
idol that he used to watch him growing up and
that's where he modeled lot of his game after and
all that that it didn't come off as disrespects. It
didn't to Durant for sure, because Durant was just smiling.
He was talking trash and killing him right. And I
will say this though about this time when he said
(07:39):
the other day I'm the number one option on this team.
I love the confidence. That's a Kobe Bryant type thing
to say. But again I don't think he did it
in a way Rob that's disrespectful to the Lebrons and
the Durance and the Staphs and all these guys that
(08:02):
are the legends on this team. And last night he
went out there and played like he thought he was
the number one option and they needed what he gave him,
which was a team out thirteen points. He didn't complain
about coming off the bench. Well, he might come off
the bench. That might be his job with this team.
But I liked what I saw from him. And maybe,
(08:22):
like I said earlier to a caller, I guess it's
coming out party was this season, if some want to
say it was Feba last year. But maybe this will
be a supplement, if you will, to his coming out party.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Yeah, I still think it's all you know, has been
way premature as.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Good as he is Chris, and we saw it. I
just think people and I get it.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You know, you see something happening before your eyes and
you're ready to crown somebody. And everybody thought, Okay, Minnesota,
they're going to the NBA Finals. You know, everybody picked Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
They they were.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I ended up saying that after they they beat I did,
I was like, Okay, they got this, But they clearly
rob I think they felt that was their championship.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
You most it probably was because they didn't expect to
be doing what they did and it and they were,
if you remember correctly, it was they looked when they
won the first two games, then they melted at home
for a couple of games, and then you know, they
wind up winning that game seven, uh in Denver and
that was huge, But they looked like they Yeah, but
(09:28):
they looked like even after they won the first two games,
like they were going to fall apart, like totally and
they wind up winning the series. But I just think
it's all premature, and I think that stuff comes in time.
You know, as you play Chris, as you start to
uh make shots, make plays, people start to see more
and more.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And it doesn't mean that he's not a star and
can't be a big star. Chris.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
That's not what I'm saying. It's just about crowning people
too soon. And I think he's been crowned or for you, Yeah,
I think I thought people were trying to crown him
during that And you know that we talked about it.
Whenever you mentioned somebody in Michael Jordan, you're talking about
rarefied Air, not to and and forget about the resemblance, Chris,
(10:13):
I'm just meaning you're talking about Michael Jordan. With anybody,
people gonna look at you a certain way and expect
certain things from you. And then he had a couple
of subpar games, uh you know in the uh uh
in the Western Conference finals, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I mean he was, by his own admission, he was exhausted.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
He didn't look like he did earlier where he was
just balling out.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
He look like he was unstoppable. And now I can
see why.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
People would get crazy to go crazy over a guy,
young guy doing that playing at that level in the postseason,
knocking off the defending champs being a big reason why.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
But still I think people are expecting a little bit
too much.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
The only thing I think is premature are the Jordan comparisons.
I can't get them out of my head, though, Chris,
I don't think anything else. I mean, nobody's saying he's
the best player in the world. People are saying he
could be the future face of the league or will
be the future face of the league. Look, I mean, Roy,
(11:23):
it seems like it's clearly gonna be win Binyama. But
if you want to go American face of the league,
or if they if they win you know, a championship
before San Antonio, which is very likely, or you know,
I should say they got a better chance of doing
it first. He could be the face of the league
for a while. I mean, I think, clearly though it's
win Beanyama. But I just think I see and I've
(11:48):
said it, and I texted with Jordan about it, like
there are clear similarities in their games, the way he plays,
and then even you want to talk about some of
the attitude, the swagger, the spectacular nature of his game,
people the defensive approach as well as offense.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But people, I think, take it to even more.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I know what you're saying, but they're like, oh, he's
the next Jordan, Like, well, that's not the conversation, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't think that he'll ever be and I say
this respectfully. I don't think Anthony Edwards Rode will ever
be like in the Goat conversation. And that's what when
you say, if you're saying he's like Michael Jordan, that
his game has similarities, he reminds you of Jordan, that's fine,
(12:36):
but you gotta clarify what you mean.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Am I right? Because that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's the greatest player ever because we're at worse, in
some people's eyes, the second greatest. I don't think Edwards
is gonna be in that conversation. And that doesn't mean
he couldn't be. I think he could be an all
time great. I think the trajectory is that he will
be an all time great. But there's a difference between
all time great and Goat conversation big time.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
And I think people though, uh, I think people aren't.
I think I think it's blurred just because he's people
are mentioning Michael Jordan's so you think of the ultimate greatness,
you don't just think of like the type of stuff
that he does or the way he carries himselves or
the way he gets after it. Chris defensively like people
(13:27):
just say, oh, Michael, he's the next Michael Jordan. No, No,
and I think you're right. No, No, he's not gonna
be in that goat conversation. Uh, just how could you
look at how could you look and think anybody is
like like you have to see you have to see
like a couple of years Chris of work and championships
and MVP before you can.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Even have that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Kevin Durant has accomplished Chris, Right, he's not in that conversation.
The guy's one, Uh that's not in that comp He's
got four championships. That's what I'm trying to say is
like those guys don't even mention and well accomplished.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I do think like I think, and I I put
it this way. I do think you can see a
guy and it's so different that you you never know
if he's gonna fulfill his potential.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Right, that's what you have to wait and see.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But somebody like win Ben Yama Rob, if he fulfills
his potential, I think he could be in the gold conversation.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
If he fulfills his potent, Like his potential is.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Goat Anthony Edwards if he fulfills his potential. Rob, I
still don't think it's goat like. I just don't see that.
And so that's that's what I mean. But he's great
and and you're right, Like, Rob, You remember we were
covering the league when all types of a Jerry Stackhouse.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Harold Minor was Grant Grant Hill.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I believe it was like there were so many guys
that were supposed to be the next Jordan.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And Harrold Minor. Did you just say Harold Minor? I
covered him with with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And I'll say this, Rob, even at that time, which
was the late mid to late nineties, when you compare
somebody to Jordan now and correct me if you think
I'm wrong, it's.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Different than it was then.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And I'm not saying people didn't think he was the
greatest ever in the late nineties, but now it's different
because his legend has grown so much even as he
hasn't been playing. But you know what I mean, Rob,
Like back then, it was like people understood you weren't
saying he's gonna be the greatest player in the league necessarily.
You weren't saying he's gonna be you know, the goat,
(15:52):
or in that conversation you were just saying, oh, he's
gonna be great like Jordan and exciting.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well, now I feel like it's gone beyond that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And when you compare somebody to Michael Jordan, it's like,
oh wow, that's you saying something.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Right, that's a tall order. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Like, people gotta look at it, squinch up their face,
Chris and go Jordan, what right?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Like really really okay? All right?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Eight seven seven ninety nine On Fox Rob thinks all
the hype around ant man Anthony Edwards is premature. I
think the only thing premature is just comparing him to Jordan.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I mean beyond the similarities.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
If you're going beyond the similarities of their games, then
I think it's a little too much.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Foxes he look like
one of the best players on Team USA last night

How are you hey?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
How you doing? Good?
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Man? I mean the media high Anthony Edwards too soon.
It's not his fault, but he does have similarities to
Jordan and everything. But again with Chris sayin Winbinyamo can
reach his potential. Maybe in the Goat story, man, you
can't even predict that. There's been so many guys that
(18:43):
played great and looked good for a couple of years
and then they just fall.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
No, I'm just saying, but answer me this. Yeah, I'm
just saying his potential. They are great young players, and
we'll like John Moran, his potentials not go. His potential's
hall of Famer all that, but not go when but
Yama's potential let go.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Yeah, but you know you had Tracy McGrady. We thought
it was gonna be Goat. You know what I'm saying,
we had uh, Anthony Anthony Hardaway.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, I mean injuries could derail anybody, and that's what.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, we're not We're not saying none of that stuff
could happen.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Can I add one more thing? Man?
Speaker 3 (19:29):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (19:30):
How we got an Olympic team and we don't have
the most valuable player on our team and we just
add Derek White? I mean really that's where we're at. Well,
I mean really he's the MVP of the finals.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Oh yeah, we talked about that. Yeah, No, it makes
no sense.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
It's a snow As I said yesterday, Christ did you
know they played it on the Sports Hub in Boston.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh yeah. When I said, yeah that he got pimp slap,
they played.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
He just got an award at the SB'S. I don't
know what it was, but that's something good for him.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Anthony in Michigan, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (20:12):
An?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (20:13):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Man?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Doing great? How are you big?
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Big fan of the show?
Speaker 10 (20:19):
I was? I wanted to add into the ant Man
thing with Like, I'm a barber, so I hear a
lot of talk in the barbershop, and I watch a
lot of and I watched a lot of sports radio.
There's nothing wrong with with with media, especially older media.
We got to stop with the we can't say nothing.
(20:40):
Nobody's trying to kind of similarity to Michael Jordan's. That's fine,
that's it's a style of play. It's not it don't
make that players going to be the goat. It's just
like people like this blasphemy took a pair Michael Jordan
to some I mean a player to Michael Jordan's. Michael
Jordan has style of play. So it's not we're not
(21:02):
people don't say he's the goat that you know what
I'm saying, what like Chris was saying, No one is
saying like he's gonna be the next goal. But style
of play, the way he dunks, the way he know,
the way the way he swings his legs, that's Michael Jordan's.
So that's not.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That we agree with. Like, as long as people get
understand and keep it at that right, and he is great,
like Anthony Evers is great, no doubt, and he's one
of the best players in the world. But as long
as people keep it that stylistically and all that, and
I think he would.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Prefer that too.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I don't think he wants people saying he's as good
as Jordan at this point at least.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
All right, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (21:41):

Speaker 1 (33:29):
All right, Rob, Aaron Rodgers For a guy that hasn't
played football in.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
You know, well over a year.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Or close to a year, I should say, I mean,
if you count the four plays. Aaron Rodgers is in
the news a lot, but this time at least is
some football related stuff. So Rob he keeps talking about
bringing DeVante Adams or playing with Davonte Adams again, presumably
(34:05):
with the Jets.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Here here's the sound of it.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Do you think Luke Getsy's gonna utilize DeVante Adams good
in the new Raiders offense?
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I love Luke Getzy. He's a fantastic coach. Awesome. I Lovedante.
I can't wait to play with him Outsiday again. Now
what in the world, Roger, you got to weigh in
on this.
Speaker 13 (34:23):
This is your team, your Raiders, as hapless as they are,
are they about to give up Davante Adams and send
him back to play with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
To quote the late great Rob Parker, even though he's
not laid at always right there.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
I'm here, I'm not late, not yet, Rob Gen No way,
no how what Why do is Rogers keep talking about?
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Because he wants it to happen. And this is something
that you guys will recall. We saw the same thing
play out over like two and a half years between
Lebron James and Kyrie Irving. Those two guys throwing hard
eye emojis at each other every chance they could through
the media, Instagram, Twitter, whatever.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
But I'm gonna say this though, some of that fuel
and I'm just gonna read into it and guess Davonte Kimp.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I know he went to Las Vegas.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
He went for Derek Carr, and Derek Carr he ain't
happy there, okay, And that's why I would be disappointed.
And that's part of it, Chris, right, is that? And
that's why if you're Aaron Rodgers, you could talk kind
of about that.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
If Derek Carr was there, I doubt.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Aaron Rodgers would still be talking about Davonte Adams. I
really I think it's because who's their quarterback. Here's a
guy with a Hall of Fame potential career, you know
what I mean, and looking at what's happening there. That's
why I think that this is even a conversation. Their
starter is Aiden O'Connell. Who think, right, Rob g if
(35:58):
it ain't him, as Gardner mins. But that's what I'm
saying is he's looking at that going this is what
I'm in store for?
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I mean, Rob, and we talked about this now when
he left. I think they had Jimmy Garoppolo. But we
talked about it, Rob, When DeVante Adams went to the Raiders,
we said, be careful, right, We're like, he's on track
for a Hall of Fame career, but and he still
look to his credit, this is how great he is.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
He still put up numbers with the Raider I know.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
But yeah, I mean he still might be on a
Hall of Fame trajector. But a few years of mediocrity
and that that changes.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Because it's hard as a receiver to get Chris. That
was my next thing.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Go look at how few receivers are in how hard
it is for.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Them to get in telling you it ain't a layup.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I mean to your point, Guys, during their last four
seasons together, Rogers and Adams, Davante Adams averaged one hundred
and ninety catches, fourteen hundred and sixty three yards, and
fourteen touchdowns per season. Last year, with the quarterback uncertainty,
those numbers dropped to one hundred and three catches, eleven
hundred and forty four receiving yards, and eight touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, I'm telling you it's different. The numbers are different.
Rob G.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Would you be mad if Adams demanded Detroit or ass,
let's say ass.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
He's in really no position to demand no, no.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
Because, like you said, he's one of those guys who's
an all time great player. And I understand even if
some Raider fans don't that we're not going anywhere right now.
So if he wants out, or we can get some
compensation from some draft compensation, then I would absolutely consider it.
I just don't believe in getting rid of a guy
from saying getting.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Rid of him if he doesn't ask out.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
Right, Hey, and this is one that he signed up for,
Rob g right, well he came, he's yeah, of course.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I mean, if they want, if they don't want to
trade him, you just gotta suck it up because you
chose to. Now they did doing I guess, kind of
doing wrong by trading Derek.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
But that's always Chris. And now we talked about the
risk when you go for people, when you're going for
this and oh no, I want to go play here
because of somebody else. As soon as you make that commitment,
they're not gonna guarantee oh that that that Derek Carr
is gonna be there. There's no guarantees in sports yeah,
I think it's coaches recruit you Chris and they bounce right.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Right and Rob g compared to the Kyrie Lebron. I
don't know if Davante, I know he misses, but you
don't hear him talk about it nearly as much as Rogers.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
No, I agree, but because you don't hear that much
from him anyway. I just think Aaron Rodgers has a
green light because he knows he's had the conversations with Van.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
You know, I haven't seeing those Taco Bell commercials with
Adams in him in a wild either.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
All that stuff goes away when you play with the Raiders.
Well he didn't. All right, we are po

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Tyser's Tower of Trivia making a return. I feel like
it's been a while since we've done that. Alex, Alex
must have gotten away. He must be in the crates.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I'm saying, Tyser's Tower of Trivia coming up at the
bottom of the hour. It really feels like we haven't
done that in a long time.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I thought my contracts that I need more money before
we do that again. But I'll talk with her.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
We'll get that. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Rob G's missed money bags, I mean Rob Pete, Rob Parker's.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Rob actually ruined it for me. You want to know why,
because Rob Parker had another meeting with the Bobs and
he ended up leaving with more shrimp than last time,
this time three portions of shrimp.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Right right, that's a true story. That's not just for jokes.
I doubled.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I tripled down today, Chris, I definitely what yes, seriously.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, he went today, got his double order of shrimp,
not his single order like last orders.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Of shrimp, because I had the uh I Alfredo Fredi
chini Alfredo. So normally if I do it, I'll get
one order of shrimp. So I just said, let me
skip to the to the to the to the end.
I'll get a double order to go with my Alfredo, right,
and then I ordered a third to go, so I
had three orders of the bosses.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Let you do this.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They didn't rip up your contract in your face. Oh my,
what did they say?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Well, they just laughed and all they were like, well,
what should we expect if you want to double for
your lunch. We already knew that another one was coming,
but they did ask me on the way out.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They said no cheesecake, and I was like, no cheesecake
for me to go to your yeah, diet because something
down to one eighty nine. I feel good?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Well, Chris, you know what's worse is that after this happened, myself,
Rob Parker, DJ, Alex Sish are all in the kitchen.
The boss comes in like, hey, when are me and
Alex gonna get whined and dine?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
And because Boss is cool, he's like, hey, you know what, Yeah,
we'll make that happen. And I was like, yeah, yeah,
when you guys want to go and no, no, no, you
rob you one.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm like, wow, I'm not one to team you got
another one? Get another one now? Right? Wow? Maybe I'll
come out to l A.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Okay, Chris, Chris gonna find three thousand miles to get
free shrup as that get.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Free cheesecake factor because they don't got those in Jersey.
I don't know when I'll be out in l A again.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, I told you might be the I'm gonna hook
up with my Manu next week.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Uh befin something's gonna happen. There's no way that this
union happens. No, it would definitely happen.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Anyway we're taking are are you really taking? That's not
gonna make it? What are the odds? Just like three
to one, they're not gonna make it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Wow, that's enough to make me just absolutely even if
I was like, you know, gonna pull out. All right,
let's get to it, ant Man, last night, we talked
about it earlier.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Anthony Davis was great.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You could call him the star of last night's exhibition
victory for the United States over Canada, their first bit
of action. But Rob, it was interesting, and I know
it's just one game. I wouldn't I'm not gonna make
a big deal out of it. Although I do think
Anthony Davis looked a lot better than Joe LMBI. That
(04:21):
to me was significant, more so because of Mbiad's just health.
It wasn't like, if he was healthy, Rob, I wouldn't
even think it's that big of a deal. But the
fact that he's not fully healthy. He ended the season
obviously playing on one leg, so to speak. They're all
talking about how he's not back to one hundred percent
(04:43):
now I'm kind of like, why is he out there playing?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Why? And then Anthony Davis did look a lot better.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But Rob the second team, which was the young guys,
they looked better than the first team.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, they like you said, I mean you you were
upset that that Lebron was the best player in Kings.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That's what I was saying.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Because of the younger players, Chris, they should be the
ones out there moving and shaken. It's not a disrespect,
it's that the young boys should be out there.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's what I am. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They they they should be taking control of this situation.
And last night, look, Tyrese Halliburton, Rob comes off the.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Bench six assists for steals.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It was a team high four steals, team high six assists.
I mentioned Anthony Davis not a young boy, but he
was with that second unit team team high four blocks,
eleven boards to go along with ten points. Jason Tatum,
uh the numbers. You know, he drove to the basket,
(05:47):
you know, attacked the rim. He had eight points, but
got him going in the first half when they were down.
Uh bam out of Bayu was pretty good with seven
rebounds himself. And Anthony Edwards, Robbed. Everybody's trying to push
the Jordans second Jordan, you know, second coming to Michael
Jordan on him. But last night he looked really good,
(06:08):
six for ten from the field, Rob, So in nineteen
minutes he scores thirteen points, which was a team high,
also added a steal and three boards.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And he you know, he said one thing I like
about him.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I like a lot about him, but is that he
is not scared and he respects the older guys.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I mean, I think that's clear, Rob.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
He's actually able to, like I guess, kind of sort
of talk trash, be braggadocious, but.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
In a way and let me throw these and not
defer to the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Older legends he's playing with, but in a way that
doesn't come off as disrespectful, like when when he talked
trash to Kevin Durant in the playoff series and they
swept the Timberwell swept the suns. I mean, he he
gave so much love to Durant in the in the
(07:17):
uh in the press conference, saying that it was his
idol that he used to watch him growing up and
that's where he modeled lot of his game after and
all that that it didn't come off as disrespects. It
didn't to Durant for sure, because Durant was just smiling.
He was talking trash and killing him right. And I
will say this though about this time when he said
(07:39):
the other day I'm the number one option on this team.
I love the confidence. That's a Kobe Bryant type thing
to say. But again I don't think he did it
in a way Rob that's disrespectful to the Lebrons and
the Durance and the Staphs and all these guys that
(08:02):
are the legends on this team. And last night he
went out there and played like he thought he was
the number one option and they needed what he gave him,
which was a team out thirteen points. He didn't complain
about coming off the bench. Well, he might come off
the bench. That might be his job with this team.
But I liked what I saw from him. And maybe,
(08:22):
like I said earlier to a caller, I guess it's
coming out party was this season, if some want to
say it was Feba last year. But maybe this will
be a supplement, if you will, to his coming out party.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Yeah, I still think it's all you know, has been
way premature as.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Good as he is Chris, and we saw it. I
just think people and I get it.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You know, you see something happening before your eyes and
you're ready to crown somebody. And everybody thought, Okay, Minnesota,
they're going to the NBA Finals. You know, everybody picked Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
They they were.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I ended up saying that after they they beat I did,
I was like, Okay, they got this, But they clearly
rob I think they felt that was their championship.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
You most it probably was because they didn't expect to
be doing what they did and it and they were,
if you remember correctly, it was they looked when they
won the first two games, then they melted at home
for a couple of games, and then you know, they
wind up winning that game seven, uh in Denver and
that was huge, But they looked like they Yeah, but
(09:28):
they looked like even after they won the first two games,
like they were going to fall apart, like totally and
they wind up winning the series. But I just think
it's all premature, and I think that stuff comes in time.
You know, as you play Chris, as you start to
uh make shots, make plays, people start to see more
and more.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And it doesn't mean that he's not a star and
can't be a big star. Chris.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
That's not what I'm saying. It's just about crowning people
too soon. And I think he's been crowned or for you, Yeah,
I think I thought people were trying to crown him
during that And you know that we talked about it.
Whenever you mentioned somebody in Michael Jordan, you're talking about
rarefied Air, not to and and forget about the resemblance, Chris,
(10:13):
I'm just meaning you're talking about Michael Jordan. With anybody,
people gonna look at you a certain way and expect
certain things from you. And then he had a couple
of subpar games, uh you know in the uh uh
in the Western Conference finals, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I mean he was, by his own admission, he was exhausted.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Right.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
He didn't look like he did earlier where he was
just balling out.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
He look like he was unstoppable. And now I can
see why.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
People would get crazy to go crazy over a guy,
young guy doing that playing at that level in the postseason,
knocking off the defending champs being a big reason why.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
But still I think people are expecting a little bit
too much.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
The only thing I think is premature are the Jordan comparisons.
I can't get them out of my head, though, Chris,
I don't think anything else. I mean, nobody's saying he's
the best player in the world. People are saying he
could be the future face of the league or will
be the future face of the league. Look, I mean, Roy,
(11:23):
it seems like it's clearly gonna be win Binyama. But
if you want to go American face of the league,
or if they if they win you know, a championship
before San Antonio, which is very likely, or you know,
I should say they got a better chance of doing
it first. He could be the face of the league
for a while. I mean, I think, clearly though it's
win Beanyama. But I just think I see and I've
(11:48):
said it, and I texted with Jordan about it, like
there are clear similarities in their games, the way he plays,
and then even you want to talk about some of
the attitude, the swagger, the spectacular nature of his game,
people the defensive approach as well as offense.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But people, I think, take it to even more.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I know what you're saying, but they're like, oh, he's
the next Jordan, Like, well, that's not the conversation, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't think that he'll ever be and I say
this respectfully. I don't think Anthony Edwards Rode will ever
be like in the Goat conversation. And that's what when
you say, if you're saying he's like Michael Jordan, that
his game has similarities, he reminds you of Jordan, that's fine,
(12:36):
but you gotta clarify what you mean.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Am I right? Because that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's the greatest player ever because we're at worse, in
some people's eyes, the second greatest. I don't think Edwards
is gonna be in that conversation. And that doesn't mean
he couldn't be. I think he could be an all
time great. I think the trajectory is that he will
be an all time great. But there's a difference between
all time great and Goat conversation big time.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
And I think people though, uh, I think people aren't.
I think I think it's blurred just because he's people
are mentioning Michael Jordan's so you think of the ultimate greatness,
you don't just think of like the type of stuff
that he does or the way he carries himselves or
the way he gets after it. Chris defensively like people
(13:27):
just say, oh, Michael, he's the next Michael Jordan. No, No,
and I think you're right. No, No, he's not gonna
be in that goat conversation. Uh, just how could you
look at how could you look and think anybody is
like like you have to see you have to see
like a couple of years Chris of work and championships
and MVP before you can.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Even have that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Kevin Durant has accomplished Chris, Right, he's not in that conversation.
The guy's one, Uh that's not in that comp He's
got four championships. That's what I'm trying to say is
like those guys don't even mention and well accomplished.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I do think like I think, and I I put
it this way. I do think you can see a
guy and it's so different that you you never know
if he's gonna fulfill his potential.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Right, that's what you have to wait and see.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
But somebody like win Ben Yama Rob, if he fulfills
his potential, I think he could be in the gold conversation.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
If he fulfills his potent, Like his potential is.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Goat Anthony Edwards if he fulfills his potential. Rob, I
still don't think it's goat like. I just don't see that.
And so that's that's what I mean. But he's great
and and you're right, Like, Rob, You remember we were
covering the league when all types of a Jerry Stackhouse.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Harold Minor was Grant Grant Hill.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I believe it was like there were so many guys
that were supposed to be the next Jordan.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And Harrold Minor. Did you just say Harold Minor? I
covered him with with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And I'll say this, Rob, even at that time, which
was the late mid to late nineties, when you compare
somebody to Jordan now and correct me if you think
I'm wrong, it's.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Different than it was then.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And I'm not saying people didn't think he was the
greatest ever in the late nineties, but now it's different
because his legend has grown so much even as he
hasn't been playing. But you know what I mean, Rob,
Like back then, it was like people understood you weren't
saying he's gonna be the greatest player in the league necessarily.
You weren't saying he's gonna be you know, the goat,
(15:52):
or in that conversation you were just saying, oh, he's
gonna be great like Jordan and exciting.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well, now I feel like it's gone beyond that.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And when you compare somebody to Michael Jordan, it's like,
oh wow, that's you saying something.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Right, that's a tall order. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Like, people gotta look at it, squinch up their face,
Chris and go Jordan, what right?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Like really really okay? All right?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Eight seven seven ninety nine On Fox Rob thinks all
the hype around ant man Anthony Edwards is premature. I
think the only thing premature is just comparing him to Jordan.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I mean beyond the similarities.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
If you're going beyond the similarities of their games, then
I think it's a little too much.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1 (16:41):

one of the best players on Team USA last night

Too soon? Your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Fred and new Wallan and join the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
What's up? Fred?
Speaker 9 (18:19):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
How are you hey?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Man?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
How you doing? Good?
Speaker 9 (18:23):
Man? I mean the media high Anthony Edwards too soon.
It's not his fault, but he does have similarities to
Jordan and everything. But again with Chris sayin Winbinyamo can
reach his potential. Maybe in the Goat story, man, you
can't even predict that. There's been so many guys that
(18:43):
played great and looked good for a couple of years
and then they just fall.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
No, I'm just saying, but answer me this. Yeah, I'm
just saying his potential. They are great young players, and
we'll like John Moran, his potentials not go. His potential's
hall of Famer all that, but not go when but
Yama's potential let go.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Yeah, but you know you had Tracy McGrady. We thought
it was gonna be Goat. You know what I'm saying,
we had uh, Anthony Anthony Hardaway.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, I mean injuries could derail anybody, and that's what.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, we're not We're not saying none of that stuff
could happen.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Can I add one more thing? Man?
Speaker 3 (19:29):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (19:30):
How we got an Olympic team and we don't have
the most valuable player on our team and we just
add Derek White? I mean really that's where we're at. Well,
I mean really he's the MVP of the finals.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Oh yeah, we talked about that. Yeah, No, it makes
no sense.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
It's a snow As I said yesterday, Christ did you
know they played it on the Sports Hub in Boston.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh yeah. When I said, yeah that he got pimp slap,
they played.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
He just got an award at the SB'S. I don't
know what it was, but that's something good for him.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Anthony in Michigan, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (20:12):
An?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (20:13):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Man?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Doing great? How are you big?
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Big fan of the show?
Speaker 10 (20:19):
I was? I wanted to add into the ant Man
thing with Like, I'm a barber, so I hear a
lot of talk in the barbershop, and I watch a
lot of and I watched a lot of sports radio.
There's nothing wrong with with with media, especially older media.
We got to stop with the we can't say nothing.
(20:40):
Nobody's trying to kind of similarity to Michael Jordan's. That's fine,
that's it's a style of play. It's not it don't
make that players going to be the goat. It's just
like people like this blasphemy took a pair Michael Jordan
to some I mean a player to Michael Jordan's. Michael
Jordan has style of play. So it's not we're not
(21:02):
people don't say he's the goat that you know what
I'm saying, what like Chris was saying, No one is
saying like he's gonna be the next goal. But style
of play, the way he dunks, the way he know,
the way the way he swings his legs, that's Michael Jordan's.
So that's not.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That we agree with. Like, as long as people get
understand and keep it at that right, and he is great,
like Anthony Evers is great, no doubt, and he's one
of the best players in the world. But as long
as people keep it that stylistically and all that, and
I think he would.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Prefer that too.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I don't think he wants people saying he's as good
as Jordan at this point at least.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
All right, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
All right, Rob, Aaron Rodgers For a guy that hasn't
played football in.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
You know, well over a year.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Or close to a year, I should say, I mean,
if you count the four plays. Aaron Rodgers is in
the news a lot, but this time at least is
some football related stuff. So Rob he keeps talking about
bringing DeVante Adams or playing with Davonte Adams again, presumably
(34:05):
with the Jets.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Here here's the sound of it.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Do you think Luke Getsy's gonna utilize DeVante Adams good
in the new Raiders offense?
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I love Luke Getzy. He's a fantastic coach. Awesome. I Lovedante.
I can't wait to play with him Outsiday again. Now
what in the world, Roger, you got to weigh in
on this.
Speaker 13 (34:23):
This is your team, your Raiders, as hapless as they are,
are they about to give up Davante Adams and send
him back to play with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
To quote the late great Rob Parker, even though he's
not laid at always right there.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
I'm here, I'm not late, not yet, Rob Gen No way,
no how what Why do is Rogers keep talking about?
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Because he wants it to happen. And this is something
that you guys will recall. We saw the same thing
play out over like two and a half years between
Lebron James and Kyrie Irving. Those two guys throwing hard
eye emojis at each other every chance they could through
the media, Instagram, Twitter, whatever.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
But I'm gonna say this though, some of that fuel
and I'm just gonna read into it and guess Davonte Kimp.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I know he went to Las Vegas.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
He went for Derek Carr, and Derek Carr he ain't
happy there, okay, And that's why I would be disappointed.
And that's part of it, Chris, right, is that? And
that's why if you're Aaron Rodgers, you could talk kind
of about that.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
If Derek Carr was there, I doubt.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
Aaron Rodgers would still be talking about Davonte Adams. I
really I think it's because who's their quarterback. Here's a
guy with a Hall of Fame potential career, you know
what I mean, and looking at what's happening there. That's
why I think that this is even a conversation. Their
starter is Aiden O'Connell. Who think, right, Rob g if
(35:58):
it ain't him, as Gardner mins. But that's what I'm
saying is he's looking at that going this is what
I'm in store for?
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I mean, Rob, and we talked about this now when
he left. I think they had Jimmy Garoppolo. But we
talked about it, Rob, When DeVante Adams went to the Raiders,
we said, be careful, right, We're like, he's on track
for a Hall of Fame career, but and he still
look to his credit, this is how great he is.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
He still put up numbers with the Raider I know.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
But yeah, I mean he still might be on a
Hall of Fame trajector. But a few years of mediocrity
and that that changes.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Because it's hard as a receiver to get Chris. That
was my next thing.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
Go look at how few receivers are in how hard
it is for.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Them to get in telling you it ain't a layup.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
I mean to your point, Guys, during their last four
seasons together, Rogers and Adams, Davante Adams averaged one hundred
and ninety catches, fourteen hundred and sixty three yards, and
fourteen touchdowns per season. Last year, with the quarterback uncertainty,
those numbers dropped to one hundred and three catches, eleven
hundred and forty four receiving yards, and eight touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, I'm telling you it's different. The numbers are different.
Rob G.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Would you be mad if Adams demanded Detroit or ass,
let's say ass.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
He's in really no position to demand no, no.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
Because, like you said, he's one of those guys who's
an all time great player. And I understand even if
some Raider fans don't that we're not going anywhere right now.
So if he wants out, or we can get some
compensation from some draft compensation, then I would absolutely consider it.
I just don't believe in getting rid of a guy
from saying getting.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Rid of him if he doesn't ask out.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
Right, Hey, and this is one that he signed up for,
Rob g right, well he came, he's yeah, of course.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Right right.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I mean, if they want, if they don't want to
trade him, you just gotta suck it up because you
chose to. Now they did doing I guess, kind of
doing wrong by trading Derek.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
But that's always Chris. And now we talked about the
risk when you go for people, when you're going for
this and oh no, I want to go play here
because of somebody else. As soon as you make that commitment,
they're not gonna guarantee oh that that that Derek Carr
is gonna be there. There's no guarantees in sports yeah,
I think it's coaches recruit you Chris and they bounce right.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Right and Rob g compared to the Kyrie Lebron. I
don't know if Davante, I know he misses, but you
don't hear him talk about it nearly as much as Rogers.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
No, I agree, but because you don't hear that much
from him anyway. I just think Aaron Rodgers has a
green light because he knows he's had the conversations with Van.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
You know, I haven't seeing those Taco Bell commercials with
Adams in him in a wild either.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
All that stuff goes away when you play with the Raiders.
Well he didn't. All right, we are po
