Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's ty Shirt's Tower of Trivia.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
The Rams Vikings addition, and speaking of the Rams and Vikings,
will give you an update on Thursday Night Football. It
is fourteen to thirteen pending an extra point. The Vikings
and Rams both had two touchdowns here, a lot of scoring.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
I don't remember what the.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Overcause was that Cooper cup with he's back, he finally got.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
So you go.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Rob g was complaining that he wasn't getting any balls
and then there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
He's cool already with four catches for sixty four yards.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Those are the two guys back in uh for the
rams and the vikings what was it three points?

Speaker 5 (01:49):
What was it?

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Vikings of road favorites in this game?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
But it is tied up at fourteen fourteen with ten
oh five, A lot of time to go in the
first half. All right, so we know this, Sean. Let's
let's stay with football. Cowboys are bad. I mean, you're
you're watching this stuff just like.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
In every facet.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
And the thing that's crazy is they've been blown out
four straight. Remember they had won sixteen straight home games
at one point. So the Packers come and blowed them
out in the in the playoffs, right, so you think, wow.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Jordan Love, look at what he did. He destroyed the
Cowboys or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Then the only problem is the first three home games
of this year they've been blown out as well, just
like that. So I don't know if it was Jordan
Love or just that it's the Cowboys and how bad
they are.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Of course, they gave Dak sixty.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Million a year and all that, you know, I mean,
there we go in the NFL L you know, they
signed quarterbacks to all this money. They still got to
sign other players. They gave Ceedee Lamb a big contract
and they have been god awful and.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
And it's just surprising, Yeah, good, because they had expectations
of being a not just good team, but a team
that was kind of like Super Bowl or bus like.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
And you look at him now.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
They can't run the ball, they can't pass protect, they
don't throw the ball effectively on a consistent basis.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
What was that?

Speaker 6 (03:22):
And what's crazy? Rob Ezekiel Elliot is their best running back.
They don't give him the ball. I don't know what
McCarthy's doing. I'm not sure what Jerry Jones is talking
about half the time. I mean, he tried to fire
the local radio guy for asking him a question the
other day and then he said McCarty's got bad plays.
I don't know what's going on in Jerry's mind. And
the thingis kind of most perplexing to me. I don't

(03:48):
really think the Cowboys like each other on offense, Like
I feel like Dak and the Tim Ferguson are pretty tight.
But I don't think CD in those lines and those
wirec was like that, like.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
You I am.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And you see ceed always reacting the deck and they're
always drawing at each other. Something there and and h. So,
so Jerry came out and said that he thought that, uh,
Mike McCarthy was calling was drawing up bad plays? Is
that the right terminology? He said, designing bad plays? Is
that like designing women? That was a TV show designing

(04:24):
bad plays? And so here Mike McCarthy, who doesn't have
a contract for next year, who had won thirteen games, right,
thirteen games three years in a row for the Cowboys,
is without a contract, so he's playing for his contract, right,
and it's not going well.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
He responded about Jerry's comments.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
I talked to Jerry all the time. You know, we've
we've had time to go through the self scout, so
I can't really I didn't see the comments specifically, so,
but I don't think we.

Speaker 8 (04:54):
Have bad Hawks in bad place.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
But I'll go back and check.

Speaker 8 (04:59):
You know, we're all where we want to be.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
I mean, that's clearly and that ultimately is my responsibility,
and I'm fully aware of that. But you know, we
were very diligent. We're on top of what we want
to do, you know, and just like anything, you know,
we just I just came from a walkthrough and it's just,
you know, it always goes back to communication.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
So whose fault is is Sean?

Speaker 7 (05:21):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Bad play calling?

Speaker 8 (05:23):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Mike McCarthy's going to be the fall guy.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Jerry's never the fall guy, even though he runs the
place like a mom and pop store.

Speaker 8 (05:29):
What do you see?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Bad calls? I mean bad play design. Uh, they don't
know what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
What what?

Speaker 4 (05:35):
What is the issue here?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
As a team that granted they don't always win the
big games or win the postseason, but they win a
lot of games normally.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
They can't seem like they can't win.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
I don't think they're that good personnel wise, like especially
with Parsons being out defensively. I mean, they had a
chance that Derrick Henry and you remember they said they
couldn't afford.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
It, and that's that's all.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Well, And then Jerry came out the other day he
said if he came to Dallas, he might not be
having the kind of year, he's I don't know what
Jerry's talking about.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
I really don't. I know one thing.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
Mike McCarthy obviously blamed Kellen Moore two years ago for
the Cowboys not being able to reach what they felt
like where they're destined objectives and goals, which is a
Super Bowl. Kellen Moore has the Eagles top ten offensively
right now, So there's always that parameter that's there when
the head coach goes and says, I can do it
better than the current OC. Now the OC somewhere else

(06:27):
and they're doing a better job than you. I think ultimately,
Jerry's gonna do what I'm not gonna see always does
because he does have patients at times with head coaches.
But I think he's gonna have to fire McCarthy at
the end of the year.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Who's a better coach in your mind, Sean Payton or
Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Sean Payton by far.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Rob G can you jump in. I think this is
one of those things perception.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
No no, no, no.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
No, don't give don't give me, don't give me.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
No no no, no no no no.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
That's what se no, no, no, no, Sean.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Payton is doing in difference pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, no, no, no, no, no, you're not gonna have would
like that because you say, don't give me records.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
But that's what you go by, because we talk about
not the only baronkas.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
They're going to have one head Rogers, the other head Breeze.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Okay, But the only thing is Mike McCarthy never went
three losing seasons in a row with a Hall of
Fame quarterback.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
That's the difference, and that's what happens saying no, no,
it's not rob g.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
What do you got for me? Sean Payton, current coach
of the Denver Broncos. Career record one sixty four, one
and one oh one, a six nineteen win percentage in
the playoffs, he's nine and eight with one super Bowl victory.
Mike McCarthy, the malign Mike McCarthy one seventy and one

(07:43):
oh five a six seventeen win percentage in the playoffs.
He's five hundred eleven eleven, also with one super Bowl.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
But if you put these people together, they're really the
same guy.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
They are.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
No, I could records, but I mean, but people, but
when they view of them, Mike McCarthy's down here.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
And Sean Payton.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Peyton has got more out of quarterbacks over the years
than McCarthy's had Rogers the entirety of his time in
Green Bay.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
No, I get that, but they also gave up in
playoff game forty points like four times. I mean, they
had some other issues. But here, let me ask you this.
When it comes to Sean Payton, three losing seasons where
Drew Brees is incredible. I mean, seriously, seven and nine,
Rob g was it three years in a row or
two out of three three years in a row? There

(08:33):
was seven and nine with Drew Brees. That's what tips
the scale for me, because you shouldn't be that bad
with a Hall of Fame quarterback.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
I mean, I'd have to go in and peel back
the layers of this to actually specifically look at here you.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Go, just give you some context, all right? So Rob's
point is that.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Seahn sat.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Three straight losing seasons back to back to back.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, bounty Gate? Was that bounty Gate.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
One of those years?

Speaker 5 (09:05):
All right? Come on the turi going in total.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Champagne that has had four losing seasons in New Orleans.
Mike McCarthy had only three losing seasons total in Green Bay.
So it's again apples and oranges. It's just all the same.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Peyton was the only head coaching up a history with
an ankle braakelet they had him on house arrest, Like,
come on.

Speaker 8 (09:27):
He's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
No one wasn't ridiculous because they warned him about it,
and they the league suspend him, you know they but
they did. They let him know that that he shouldn't
have been doing that. And nobody should feel good about
showing you played what somebody to hurt you to go
out there and not get.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
People for her. I played when there's a gladide the league,
So I have no sympathy for well, it ain't that anymore.
You're right, I don't have any sympathy because we had.
It was a badge of honor to play quarterback that
you had to earn, and that was getting up after
getting your butt knocked off.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
But that's what that's what I try to tell people about.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
While they disrespect Joe Montana, go look, go look when Joe,
when Lawrence Taylor, those guys had those guys, am I right,
like Joe, you.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
Couldn't even you couldn't even sit at the table with
the other quarterbacks in the off season and have a
beer if you hadn't gone through that.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
So like, I don't these young guys and cry every
time are slide, you know, two yards before the first down. Like,
I don't associate attach or agree with that behavior in
any way, shape for him or fashion.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
It is pretty incredible where the game was back then
and those guys. I remember as a kid watching the
NFL when they came up with the in the grass
rule because so many quarterbacks got hurt one season, you know,
and the league was like, we can't have a league
where half the starting quarterbacks.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
You throw the ball and the defender could take two
more steps and le hit you.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
That was the rule. He just couldn't take a third.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Now you can't touch.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
They could drive you into the ground. I mean they
could get all up what they need and you have
the chin strap and you had to get up. And
that was a part of being accepted into the quarterback fraternity.
But the rules have been relaxed.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Greatly, no doubt eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
We want to hear from you.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Is Mike McCarthy a better coach?

Speaker 5 (11:19):
He's not.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Then Jerry Jones and Sean King might.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Suggests for real, We'll continue that conversation next with you.

hosting the Vikings in Los angele Les. Yes, I'll telephone
number eight seven seven ninety nine on five. Just talking
about Mike McCarthy, Jerry Jones.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Where he is.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
I mean, and we said this too, Sean.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
When you don't have a contract for next year and
you won thirteen games each of the last three years, Yeah,
the writing's on the wall right like you're playing for
your contract. There's no way Mike McCarthy's coming back. Well
do we have them?

Speaker 6 (13:25):
Is this setting up for Jerry to convince Deon to
leave Colorado? And then Deona tell everybody if you draft
your door, you're not playing.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
For plying for you come to Dallas?

Speaker 7 (13:36):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Is that what you think?

Speaker 5 (13:37):
You do something with Dak as I'm considering you.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Just gave him sixty million dollars a year.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
Could you move Dak? That's that's what I want to know.
That's a fascinating point. As I've been analyzing this, this
this NFL in twenty twenty four, The thing that I
keep wondering, can you move one of these guys.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
Once you give them these messes.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
You can you know why because we've said that a lot.
In the NBA, nobody will take Bradlee Beal. Look at
that contract he has. Guess what they took him, Rob Ge?
Who are the other players we talked about in the
NBA had those massive contract we are talking about.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
He's untradeable Westbrook, Chris paulk different.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Now you can give out picks like twenty years from now.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
No, I get it, but they still move the contract
like nobody thought anybody. But why would you take Bradley Beal?

Speaker 6 (14:27):
Like, let's let's see who's all gotten a monster contract?
We're talking Justin Herbert to Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Justin Herbert just hands the ball off. Then Sean, what
is that?

Speaker 8 (14:40):
And I get it.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Jim Harball wants to run the football, but then you
don't need you go get Gardner Minshew to hand the
ball off.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
I can't believe where Justin Herbert is.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
Yeah, I kind of figured he'd take a step back
because Mike Williams left and Keenan Allen left and they
didn't really replace him. I know they had drafted Quentin Johnson,
but come on, I mean lat McConkie was gonna be
you know, so I felt like it'll be a transition perer.
Hopefully this off season and this draft they'll focus on
getting him some elite weapons.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Crazy all right? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
Mitch in New Jersey. You're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Mitch.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
He's doing doing great, pretty good.

Speaker 9 (15:23):
I just got too quote. I don't want to wake
up my grand stock.

Speaker 8 (15:27):
Sean Payton's a better coach.

Speaker 9 (15:29):
Mccathey had Hannon Rodgers just to get one so well,
and that is no. See, he's a good quarterback, Dak Prescott.
So I think McCarthy he's just he's not as good
as advertised.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
I agree. I think Sean Paynon's a better designer of offense.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Gave up seventy points. Did you see his team quit
on him? What happened in that game? Did they quit
on Sean Payton or not?

Speaker 5 (15:52):
No?

Speaker 6 (15:52):
I mean they went out the night before. You know,
you get down to Miami and you're coming from dinverd.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
Come on, man, seventy A seventy piece? What have you seen?

Speaker 4 (15:59):
A seventy piece the n and the NFL.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
It still only counts as one loss.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
No, I understand that, but you don't see that that
was that what they gave up on that game.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
No, No, it ain't happened again. That was last year.
The job he's doing with this Broncos team is not bad.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
It's not.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
I'm just saying it's not that. I'm not a big
boat Knicks guy. So the fact that he's got a
quarterback and I'm not even that high on who's that
best receiver Courtland something, even certain who's the best business?

Speaker 4 (16:30):
They beat the bad Jets. Who else did they beat?
They beat the bad.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Saints, they beat the bad beat the bo but that
but but he gets credit for those wins, and and
Caleb Williams doesn't get credit because they play bad team.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
The difference is, that's the difference from buy into no.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
The difference is this entire Bear fan base was talking
about eleven winnings and winning the NFC.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
That's where the contact has two.

Speaker 8 (16:56):
Aren't they four and two?

Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (16:57):
But nobody had highest buttations for Denver. No, but I'm
never saying four games as well.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Yeah, but look who they've played.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Is what I'm saying is that that's my issue is
you're saying he's done a great job there and they
be three bad teams. But you say Caleb is excelling
and doing well because he's playing bad teams.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
You can't have it both way.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
I said.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
I didn't say because I said the book hasn't been
written totally on Caleb.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Okay, But why can't we look at Sean Payton in
the same vein?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
And that's why Mike's been But that's why Mike McCarty
doesn't get to love either. It's because the Cowboys will
beat up on teams that aren't that good, and unfortunately,
when they play the better teams or get into the postseason,
you know, they don't they don't win.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
You know why Sean Payton would never be the head
coach of the Cowboys because Jerry. He wouldn't let Jerry
come out and say something as ludacris as we design
in bad plays, like they're different leaders. Like I just
I got Sean Payton in a different category based on
things that I've heard from guys that played for him
as opposed to guys that have played for McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I get it, but I'm saying the way that they
paint the guys, you would think that one guy was
way better as far as record successes, you know what
I mean, than any other guy.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
That's all that must be better. If Sean Paygne was
the head coach and now Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I don't know when they won thirteen games, when they
win a playoff. He's only won one super Bowl himself,
So I don't know. I really don't, because it would
only The only thing you would be looking for is
not more win Sean, is would he win in the postseason?

Speaker 8 (18:26):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Because winning thirteen games in a sixteen to seventeen game
season is as good as you can get, all right,
That's not the issue.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
I think the Cowboys had. Issue is they have too
many chiefs, not enough Indians. I don't think they have
true leadership. That's just my opinion from the outside looking in.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Is that from players or from the Is that because
of Jerry or.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
What is that? Including all three layers?

Speaker 6 (18:51):
I don't think necessarily think Jerry's a great leader when
it comes to the coaching staff and the players. I
think he's a good holder because in the spin normally
he's built you the best possible resources that you could
ever wish for. As far as enhancing your ability reaching
the top, you know, of your capability.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
So I mean, that's Jerry's job.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
But it's crazy that but they had a chance to
get Derrick Henry and they peak claim poverty, you know
what I mean, like like like that's the bad part
is that he was available.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
I would say this this was the most.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
Random off season for me regarding the Cowboys because they
didn't do anything that it was very weird. Right, yeah,
that's not typical Dallas. Like so I don't know necessarily
what's going on.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
Maybe Jerry money tied up somewhere, maybe about to open
an island or something. Who knows, But this wasn't the
typical Dallas Cowboy offseason.

Speaker 8 (19:46):
It was very very weird. I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
It was shocking, to be honest, because they really didn't
do anything and they put themselves in a bad spot.
And then once they started losing and their defense, why
goodness gracious.

Speaker 6 (19:58):
The thing that I get concerned is I don't know
how to get out of this. You just said it, Dion,
You're right, but you got to be able to move deck.
You think, Dion, what just just what would you what
would you ask for in return to trade away a
sixty million dollar year quarterback.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Man. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
I don't know if anybody's taking.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
What is it? Two number ones? Like I mean at
the start? Would that start the conversation?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
That would be crazy. I can't see it happening, but
you know, crazy things have happened, all right. Coming up next,
you know what we're doing. It's a little Tight Shirts

Speaker 8 (21:43):
We have to be nice of the guests.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
All of these questions are vikings or rams for lady.
You know the rules about reminding. If you're listening at home,
it's gotta be a real word, no rhyming. It's got
to be in English.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
That's why.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
No, kind of nervous. This is my first time doing this.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I think you've done it before. I'm almost positive you've
done it before.

Speaker 8 (22:03):
I haven't because you filled in like for weeks on ends.
I'm almost positive you've done it. Let's Alex.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
You said he wouldn't. Let's do anyway. That's good because
you're gonna get trashed.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
So you're you're lucky because we flipped the coin during
Steve's update and Rob gets question number one. That's what
we do here.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
I'm the King. I'm the pooh Pool King.

Speaker 8 (22:20):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
You could be the King, Sean, I'm the pooh Pool
kid again. I'm the poo Pool kid.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
One word clue. You gotta help Alex guess the correct answer.

Speaker 8 (22:28):
Rob, Alex, how are you?

Speaker 5 (22:29):
My man?

Speaker 8 (22:30):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Despite playing in both Los Angeles and Saint Louis, which
are hundreds of miles apart, the Rams have always played
in the NFC Blank Division since the seventies.

Speaker 8 (22:46):
All right, uh, there we go, Alex.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
You ready, my man?

Speaker 8 (22:50):
Ron, thank you so much for asking.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
All Right, here we go.

How are you rong? I'm doing great?

Speaker 3 (22:56):
East West? That is correct, ten, Sean, that's how you
do it?

Speaker 8 (23:05):
All right, Sean.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
You feel like you gotta hang.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
In this one. Yeah, this is easy.

Speaker 8 (23:09):
Level number two.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
You gotta how Balace gets the right answer. Before every game,
a man in a Vikings jersey regalia, helmet, whatever you
want to call it, blows into a giant blank, and
the fans in Minnesota yell out, school, jeez.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
You play it. You play it?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
No one word, one word club, He's never done it, Rob,
one word, clue, I play it, Alex, don't listen to.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Read it for him again.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Before every game, a guy in a Vikings jersey blows
into a giant blank and fans yell out.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
It's gonna be a horn right.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Nice?

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Alright here, we go level number to say, Candy, that's
horn corn. Oh, okay, I'm SKay, level number three all
t ten points apiece Rob. In the sixties and seventies,
the Vikings at one of the best defensive lines of
all time. They got the to this day the blank
people eaters.

Speaker 8 (24:19):
Oh jeez, people eaters. Here we go, bub Are you
readyb Thank you for asking. Sean didn't ask me, so
I'm ready now, Thank you?

Speaker 4 (24:26):
All right?

Speaker 8 (24:26):
Alex, Yes, rain Rain? What are you trying to say
with rain?

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Rob?

Speaker 8 (24:42):
Oh, you're funny, are you?

Speaker 5 (24:44):
I know what he's trying to say, but he's not
doing a good job of expressing.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
It's not at all at all.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Oh, Rob.

Speaker 8 (24:52):
It's sad because I think I know what it is now.
But I'm kind of upset that you didn't give you
a good enough breakdown there because you're in studio. I'll
be more than just picking up glasses eyes. It's purple,
is it? Yeah, buddy?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (25:07):
Why did you take your glasses off? Like say, I
don't know that?

Speaker 8 (25:10):
What?

Speaker 5 (25:10):
Are you stressed out?

Speaker 9 (25:12):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Because I want to beat you. I don't want you
to beat me the first time you play this game.
All right, I'm very compelled, who's hurt?

Speaker 4 (25:20):
Somebody down?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
What are they doing?

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Or they just rushed to the time out?

Speaker 8 (25:24):
All right?

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Level number four back to Shawn is twenty to ten
here sean. From nineteen ninety five to twenty fifteen, the
Rams had a sabbatical in the cdsat Loo were talking
about earlier. During that time, they called themselves the Saint
Louis Blank.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Identical Identical identical.

Speaker 8 (25:54):
Rams.

Speaker 9 (25:56):
Boom.

Speaker 8 (25:57):
It was so I was going to trick him.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Yeah, it's the same thing because it's two words.

Speaker 8 (26:03):
It's all right.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I was gonna say.

Speaker 8 (26:07):
Truck truck.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
For I was like, are you.

Speaker 8 (26:16):
Get yourself a Ram?

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Try the game? This is getting a little interesting.

Speaker 8 (26:19):
Level Overer five gets a little tougher.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Sew never had a perfect quarterback rating.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Set the n C double a all time QB.

Speaker 8 (26:29):
Right, I'm talking about it.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
The NF is that right.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
I had a great practice one time, had a great practice.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
You played in the NFC Championship game.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
I know, I just like to downplay my know just
a little.

Speaker 8 (26:42):
I wanted you guys to win so bad.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
I remember that team, man, that the same Rams team
we're talking about. What did they won?

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Like?

Speaker 1 (26:49):
The RAM I was gonna say, I was gonna say
nine to seven. It was like, you guys couldn't score
any touchdowns.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
Ridiculous they were cheating back to Rob. Rob.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Fans have debated for years who the best player defensive
player in Rams history was. Obviously now it's Aaron Donald,
but before that it was either Deacon Jones or Jack
Young Blank.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Man, I got him.

Speaker 8 (27:17):
Here we go. Let me think, man, uh, Rob, you
don't sound confident. Ye. No, no, no, I'm not the
sports guy. You're not making me feel confident. Okay, here

use that word, but I think that's right.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
That's right, and Leo in New York City, you're our
last call?

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Wow jeez, Now wait a minute, Leo, are you serious
to Liberty had a parade for that championship, crab.

Speaker 9 (35:23):
We had a parade, and trust me, it was a
timeout parade. The parade started at ten a m. By
eleven thirty one, Leo, what parade did it?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Fort WNBA? What was this the Canyon of Heroes? Where
was the parade or was it at at Macy's Herald Square?
From thirty four to thirty fifth Street.

Speaker 9 (35:49):
Was literally ten blocks I mean talk about I mean
after we parade, we did what you said. We all
shared a small fries reflected that cook and we had
left us from the rack.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Hey, Sean, the parade was so small though, I won't say,
I'll keep your job, Rob Gez want.

Speaker 6 (36:10):
To let the w NBA live, man, shout out to
the Liberty congrats on the championship.

Speaker 8 (36:14):
That was job.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
That was a bogus championship and nobody showed up. I
can't believe they had a parade when the Rams won
the Super Bowl. Here they had like a little march
around right for USC And if it wasn't for the
students going to a rob G, nobody would have showed up.
How could you have a parade for a w NBA
team now that thinking like it's you're bigger than you

(36:37):
really are. They should go back and and resin. What
didn't they turn down the CBA?

Speaker 5 (36:43):
Right?

Speaker 1 (36:43):
They should go back and get it back after nobody
showed up to their parade? What Sean, I'm being you.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
Know, I'm gonna let you jump off that cliff by yourself.
I enjoyed WNBA basketball shout out to the Liberty cong championship.
You come on, you know that that has no impact
on me here meks whatsoever. We're mad that the Aces
didn't win their third in a row. So we're already remeewing.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
How many how many games have you gone to and
taken your children and your wife?

Speaker 5 (37:11):
I'll be there in spirit.

Speaker 8 (37:12):
You don't go, and what I'm trying to say? You
kill me with that? Oh yeah, the w n B
A you won't go just because I don't like.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
It, don't mean that there aren't people out there that
do so parade you need to stop hating so much.
What did dude say, stop the cap. All I'm doing
is you're so close to being a good person. Go
ahead and make that extra step. Man, I enjoyed it today.
