Speaker 1 (04:36):
You know what's funny, Rob Parker, I'm walking out. I'm

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Just what I don't get mad. I'm dead serious.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I don't know what people just because I think outside
the box of a little different all year. People scoffed
at me when I said that the Chiefs weren't gonna
win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Did I not say that? Everybody scoffed at me.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I was a hater, that the Lions weren't gonna make
it to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That one was actually more crazy than the Chiefs. Okay,
or a boulder. Oh, that Dan Campbell was a bad coach.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
We could go. That's maybe. That's what it is. Consistency,
it's coaches, it's just consistent. That's what it is. That's
what a brand muffin will do for you, all right?
Is that what we're No? No, no, everybody good, everybody good,
everybody's good. Alex, what you got your hand up for it?
I can't participate, Alex, Alex, I'm gonna tell you. He
(05:45):
sent us a picture of all those vegetables has he had?
He had more juice than Barry Bonds in that picture.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I'm just saying that's original.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Allegedly too. I still ain't catch him. But no, I
voted for tenth straight.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
They gotta tell me, all right, start, let's walk, come in,
let's get let's get started here. And of course the
NBA all Star Game is in San Francisco at the
chase are Yes. The only bad part about the All
Star Game being in San Francisco. It's got to walk
over homeless people to get into the read and I'm just.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You ain't even really joking. And that's the crazy part.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Listen what they call it the BIPs, the yips or
whatever they the BIPs. Yeah, something where they did where
you gotta roll your windows down because they're just busting
everybody's windows down. It's more of an Oakland thing and
they taking everything stuff out, so people literally keep their
windows down and you take everything out your car and
all your windows down there. So the person looks and
says nothing in there. Yeah, that's a real thing, but
(06:45):
doing it for years out there all right.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Well, the bad part is that the All Star Game
is going on this weekend and we already know that
it's been a disaster and uh, it's just going nowhere.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's dropping every year. We are all time lower ten viewership.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It's just last year they sent in Doctor j and
Larry Bird to give them a pep talk about playing
defense and making account and each team scored over two
hundred points, so that that went out the window, Adam
Silver just just just nothing, has no answers for this,
but here we go.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
There's one person, and one person only who has ruined
NBA All Star Weekend, and that's KATELYNK Clark. KITLYNK Clark.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Did just gonna look fun.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, And she just said I haven't even never
heard her say that word before I heard it through
the glass.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's all really.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Kate Link Clark has ruined NBA All Star Weekend. They
they invited her to be involved in, you know, a shooting,
a shooting contest with Steph right, and they were gonna
make this nice thing go and give people something to watch.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
She is television.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Ratings goal right. Everything she's in that people are watching.
That would have been the only reason to watch any
of the festivities this weekend. They got a no name
slam dunk contests, they got four All Star teams with
people who aren't even all stars playing the younger people,
the people they picked up off the street, the old veterans.
(08:27):
It's like the international like I don't even know, right,
So they have all these things, all these freaking gimmicks
that the NBA is turned into, and.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
She had the goal the audacity to say no. How
can she say no.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
When the WNBA wouldn't even be around if it wasn't
for the NBA. They have subsidized that league forever. Ratings
this year right get so much money. The WNBA lost
this past year fifty million, even with Kaitlyn Clark and
her numbers, So the least she could have done was
done as solid for her brothers in the NBA. She
(09:12):
should have shown up, participated, gave them some kind of numbers,
especially since most of the people of women in the
WNBA they aren't earning it.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Keep Let's just be honest. I'm being honest.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
The least she could have done was take part in that,
and she has ruined NBA All Star Weekend for me.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I'm not watching one minute because of Kaitlyn Clark.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, I just I mean, we came back from New Orleans,
we came back from Super Bowl Week and you just
I mean you said there's no more football. So let
me just be the thing. Let me just start with
the Atlantis is Rob Parker. Kaylyn Clark is at home
minding her own business, and she has to be the
(09:59):
soul for you to watch the NBA All Star Weekend.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Let's start with this.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
How about the NBA players make the All Star Weekend
something to watch? How About for the last fifty six years,
they made it something that we couldn't wait to see,
the dunk contest or three point contest.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And you're telling her the NBA she should have to
do it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
The nba't even didn't even make Lebron do it dunk
contest for the last fifteen years. You know, they didn't
do make stuff Curry, Klay Thomps and Damian Lillard and
all the best three pointer shooters do it every year.
They don't make their own best participate. You've not seen
Zion Williams in an NBA dunk contest yet, Oh, let
me keep going. You haven't seen Anthony Edwards. Oh, let
me keep going. You haven't seen Java Rent in a
(10:37):
dunk contest. But Katelyn Clark in another league has to
all of a sudden come over here and be super woman.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
To save it. That's just that's that that part alone.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I can't believe you wuld say when we sit up
here and yell at the NBA players for not.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Making it something worth our.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Worst show's a part of the league that doesn't make
any money.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So what she is she yes, they don't. They don't
owe her. The NBA subsidizes that league.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yes, they don't get sellout crowded unless.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
They have fifty dollars nights for fans and the nb A.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Why can't they get n b A players to not
only participate, to actually play.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I'm not gonna blame that that moment. She is a draw.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
That woman don't have to save this league. The league
has to save themselves. They wanted to do something nice,
include her, get.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Some Teavy even say no.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
She said, well, what Steph, consider doing our All Star
Game later in the year. So that's another thing. She's saying, hey,
come over here and Sabrina and Iyunescu. It also said
some time they couldn't find no way to do it.
They couldn't work it out. That's why her and Steph
they decided to just you know, do it another year
or something. Because I think the w NBA is saying,
hey man, we're trying our best to build up our
(11:46):
league to thrive in our league.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
We got They would have had actual eyeballs if if
she did it and participated, it would have helped the wnby.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
She said it would also help if Steph comes and
does it for us.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Steph's not doing that. Come on, what do you want.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I'm just so she's saying, I'm not the same reason
why she didn't participate in some other things. She also said,
I don't want to be people's guinea pigs. And the
thing that little you know, uh circus act like ooh,
we got you. Oh come playing this three on three tournament?
Who come save the NBA?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
What she gotta do on it?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
She's had a you know how long her three sixty
five has been be from the the March madness to
not playing the summer Olympics season.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
It's a simple shooting contest. It ain't the end of
the world. She ate doing a seven game series, stop it.
But what, dude, probably she's probably shooting in a backyard
anyway or whatever, in a gym somewhere. What what what's
the difference? Come out and help the NBA in a
situation next day?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Being down both down bad?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
They are If you're telling me Kaitlin Clark has to
come help and save the NBA, they're down bad. This
is the black Eye season right now for the NBA,
by the way, because anything that comes out is the
games aren't this, the games aren't interesting, the stars don't play.
All Star game is terrible. This is the rough patch
for the NBA, and all leagues go through this. Baseball
is LA and they're doing this. The games are too long.
(13:01):
They had to come in tweak NFL's concussions. It's Colin
KAEPERNICKI kneel or don't kneel. Every league has the season
for a few years where they're down a little bit.
This is the NBA's moment, and you're telling me Kaitlyn
Carr has to come out here and be super Woman's
matter of fact, remember.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
That song in the eighties, I'm not your super.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yes, yes, but I like when Karen White sang it,
and you can't believe that I knew that Karen.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
White, So I hope. So that was good pool though.
I give you that I know what I'm talking about
all right now with this part.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Even in Sports eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
At home, enjoy hers her little omelet and little shake,
whatever she's doing, she just spit it out.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
What do this guy just say about me?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Did Kaitlyn Clark and intanly ruined NBA All Star Weekend
in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
That was Rob g wrote that we'll continue that confersation.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
He trying to save you there talking about inadvertently she
didn't mean it.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Rob is blaming Kaitlin Clark for the NBA's All Star
weekend demise. All right, Mason, you're doing that today. Well,
she's said it, minding her own business in Indiana right now.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Mason in the Bay Area, you're in the yond couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
What's up, Mason, Rob Parker, I needed this laugh of
all the things that you could have gotten canceled. For God,
I could already hear the keyboards writing about you for saying,
Rob Parker said Caitlyn Clark ruined the NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Hey, Mason, Monzi's already typing it up right now. Monzi boy,
I tell you you're making this harder and harder for Robbing.

gonna take off our America. They come out looking Warren
ot Ason.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
If you want to choose, you gotta come to the
odd couple on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I'm telling you, Hey.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
I wanted to call up to praise you, Man bront
always having your take, to say what's on your mind
and regardless of what's the popular thing is. You know
people were drafting you for your take on the seas,
like you said in the open, and how people make
it seem like you were. I'm not sugar though sometimes
that's spaghetti done at the wall of stix.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Man keeping into.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Every nom heere and no'm filtered version of me to
be man.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Hey, Andre in Massachusetts, you're in the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
How you doing? Thanks taking the call Listen. I cannot
say that Caitlin Clark ruined the All Star weekend, but
she did miss a huge opportunity and essentially free money
to build her brand and to build a w NBA fresh.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
It's like Lebron when he didn't want to participate in
the Dunk contest early on his NBA career.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
It's it's it's easy.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
You know, you like to do it.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
You don't have this.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
It's not heavy lifting, so I do can't ruin the game,
but it's one of these things where it makes dollars
that makes sense. So I'm not pleased. You know that
that she that's that she's stepping away.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
But overall it's gonna be a good game.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
It's about it's about.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
The young stars.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
But going forward, Kaitlin Clarks, she can't keep passing up
on these opportunities because the w NBA needs her to
be the lead to walk point for the league so
they continue to grow.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I don't disagree Draight and that it was an opportunity.
My thing is she doesn't have to like she clearly doesn't.
Just any type of dollar amount or something is what
she wants. She turned out a bunch of money from
ice Cube offer her much I want to go do
that clearly whatever in her own little world, you know,
doing her own thing.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
All right, this is year once. You already get flat
for that stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Dang Andy in Oregon, you're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.

First time? Long time? Real quickly before I get my chake,
I was thinking you guys should try get Arnie Spaniard
one once a week so him and Rob can just
talk crazy talk.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
We could call it crazy talk again, crazy talk, baby talk.
Speaker 9 (18:08):
Yeah, yeah, you guys are crazy. Kelvin, You're a saint
for sitting through all this.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Listen, I'm getting raise.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
Yeah, it's not Kaitlyn's fault. Kaitlyn's doing great. She hadn't
need to go and help the NBA. They'd done this
to themselves years and years and years.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I hear you.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
But the WNBA lost fifty million dollars and that was
with the great.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Spectacle called Kaitlin Clark. They still lost money.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
My point is, uh, they owed the NBA, you know,
for those thirty years that they were subsidizing them with
money and free government cheese.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
Yeah, but she knows what her time is work, and
so she's got to do it's best for her.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Okay, I said her. Thank you man, appreciate it. I

It has been, and it's been that way for a while.
I think they had a couple of little reprieves, you know,
Zach Lavine, Aaron, Gordon, Dunking, you know, the Sabrina Unescu
and Staph Last year they tried to replicate that again.
They even talked about doing you know, Clay and Staff
versus Unescu and Caitlyn. But it goes to show you
(21:49):
the power of Caitlyn Clark right now, because she's she's
the hottest thing in basketball. But it shows to where
the NBA is, you know, and the NBA has always
been a league of stars. But the stars we had,
and again, you know, I have to just by saying this,
I don't like doing the past versus I don't care.
(22:11):
I mean the moment right now. But the point I'm
trying to make a stifs all stars became stars, whereas
now we're trying to create stars and some of these
guys are not star quality, they don't have the personality.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
There's a lot to go with it.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, well, then what is the All Star What would
you say is the all star superstar quality? Like, give
me an example who is and give me example who's
not that they're trying to, you know, force well.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Also, well, with that being said, also is the fact
that all stars and superstars really don't want to do
this anymore. It used to be an honor back in
the days. You don't know, Like I never made an
All Star, but man, I kept working my butt off.
I'm like, I gotta be an All Star. Even when
I had the stats, my team weren't that good and
so I didn't make it. But it's like that one day,
(23:01):
I want to be an All Star. And when guys
made it, they were like, man, I want I want
to play well, I want to you know, and we
all talk to each other. You know. The first quarter
was always going to be, you know, we're gonna give
them a show, right a thond quarter, we pick it
up about another fifteen to twenty percent by second. By
the third period. Oh, it was a full long game.
(23:22):
Right right now, they don't even want to be there.
It's it's a drag for them. I don't want, you know,
I gotta go do interviews. I got it. They don't
appreciate it, and it's unfortunate. You know, guys getting thirty
forty million dollars. You think one hundred thousand dollars is
going to do anything. That's not motivation? They have none
right now.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
It is so bad.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Are you planning on watching the festivities and everything or
do you I mean your former NBA player. I'm sure
gonna check in on it, but how much have you
stopped watching or do you watch?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
I don't watch anymore, Like I say, I, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
That's an indictment of the league right there.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
You're a former player there to San Francisco. But I'm like,
I'm not giving y'all seven eight hundred dollars for a room.
And then I got to stand and I gotta do
all this stuff. You know, they don't treat the former
players good. You know, that's that's the whole different conversation
for the league themselves. So it's like, why am I
going to put myself through all of that for that trash?
(24:21):
And it is trash now and I'm starting, you know,
if I having a glance at the TV and it's
on our what But it's not like, oh I gotta
watch this, so I got none of.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
That old in polities.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Our guests forming NBA vet as we just mentioned there,
Fox Sports Radio, NBA analysts, let's go to get your
thoughts on obviously the big trays that have happened over
the last week or so. We'll start with was with
the biggest in Luke and the Lakers. He didn't look
great last year. All the Lakers lose the ones.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
They lost to Utah because they thought they could just
show up. And that's gonna be the problem for the Lakers,
especially getting Luka Doncis and it's like, oh, well we
got Luca, we got Lebron, we can just show up. No,
you still got to go out there and play basketball.
And the Jazz really just put a solid game together and.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
That zone threw him off all that because they're.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Still missing some pieces. They still need a center. Jason Hayes.
You know, the first game, he's all excited and it's
always happened. You know, it's brand new marriage, right, you know,
he's beautiful, and then after a couple of weeks he
starts nagging it's not the same anymore, you know, the honeymoon.
Once the honeymoon's over, and went right back to where
(25:35):
we started from. So you know they're gonna have their moments,
but they still need more.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
If you're Dallas, how scared are you?
Speaker 5 (25:43):
You know?
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I mean, you know.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Anthony Davis has his great first half and then there
he is a non contact injury.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
He's gonna be out for a little bit. But this
is his history.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Even though he had been relatively healthy the last couple
of years with the Lakers, his history is not a
good one when it comes to healthy it's not at all.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
And I used to tell people, I told you, guys,
I've been on the show. It's like you could set
your watch to Anthony Davis when he's gonna get hurt.
And so to me, yeah, that first game was it
showed them and it basically was a tease, Hey, this
is how great I can be. But unfortunately my body
is made by you know, by glass, and so to me,
(26:22):
it's just a tough situation. But you know, one of
something I want to point out is this, these people
need to be fans instead of fanatics or lunatics because
the stuff they doing right now is ridiculous. This is
a business at the end of the day. You know,
it's unfortunate, but it is what it is. They made
a business decision. You may not agree with it, but
at the end of the day, it's still business. Lucas
(26:44):
now laker Anthony Davis is a maverick.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
I get the shock from the beginning, but some of
the stuff is and I don't know, I'm going to
say this is older. I don't know if thenverage should
have announced I don't know if they did officially that
the GM or it was at least a newspaper story
that the GM has security, because you know, like I
(27:07):
don't think I would want to put that out there,
you know what I mean, I would have security, but
I wouldn't put that out in the media.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
No, you're absolutely right. And I think now with the
new ownership, they're falling a little bit because they don't
They're not basketball people. Nico does no basketball. But none
of this would have had Nico has it. Cannot make
this move by himself.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
No, no, no, nobody. Ownership has to sign off on this.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
It is what it is. The new ownership, you know,
for whatever reason, you know, they agreed and they allowed
it to happen. You know. I texted Nico actually and
I was like, hey, man, if you need a real bodyguard.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
You called me, Well, but it's like.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
You know, these people have got they've gone crazy right now?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Oh, then I would to also go to the Eastern Conference.
What's going on out there? When we start to see
these teams up top of you? Next you buy the
next day, all of a sudden it start to lose
that toughness giving up a buck forty something last night.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
The Celtics, by.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The way, Randi Champson, man, can they do anything besides
shoot threes?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
My goodness? They shoot about Hey they do that, I
know they do.
Speaker 9 (28:12):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
And then he got Cleveland right now? Yeah? So who
you're looking at in these or maybe you said the pisses?
I don't know. Maybe God, here we go.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
With the Knicks first. The problem is gonna be Thibodeau
and his style. He's wearing these guys out. So they're
not gonna be any good come first or second round
of the playoffs. They're gonna be worn out. I don't
give it there. How healthy they are? I mean, how
how you know in shape they are? The man is
Wang players down? You know? The Celtics. You're right, they're
gonna live and die by that three last year they
(28:43):
had that cake walk because all the teams they face
had they start player hurt, and so I think, you know,
all things mean equal. You know, if that three is
not falling, you're not winning. So they're gonna have to
figure out something else to do. So my money right now,
believe it or not, is gonna be between Cleveland. And
for some reason, I still like the Bucks only because
(29:06):
of me, honest and dame, you know. But I do
like the addition of Kuzma, you know, and so because
to me, Kuzma right now is way better than Chris Middleton.
I mean because of the injuries.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
That you can't stay healthy, right.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, at this age and you mentioned injuries. AJ absolutely
least Cools can give you some on both ends of
the court.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Older man, Thank you so much. Appreciated that. At least
you can wear that big, ugly yellow sweater. I don't
know what he Yeah, you gotta burn some things. Yeah,
remember that he looked like a big bird walking six '
ten and something that long on you then that right?
What is that?
Speaker 1 (29:42):

All right, let's get to a second City.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Welcome to Shekel City, the whole base for Bob Parker's Day.
Dicks against the spread.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
I had a chance last night. All three teams won,
but they didn't cover. So yeah, so uh but I
was wanted to.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
I'm at forty two and forty five for the year,
so a hat trick can get me to forty five
five things. Lebron not excited about it. I had the
Mavericks plus one and a half. But that's out the window,
you said, Monty said, nobody's playing the night. Jason Harrison
might have to play g I guess I gotta suit up,
(31:48):
all right. That was my best bet. So much for
that because they're playing Miami. You know, they're still trying
to figure themselves out. Uh, Houston minus one and a half.
They're hosting Golden State, Okay, and I had to under
minus eight and a half. They went big almost every
night and put Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
So again, I like that Thunder.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Minus eight and a half, Rockets minus one and a half,
and the Mavericks plus one and a half. And remember, yes,
I'm not telling you who to bet on, I'm telling
you who I bet on.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, we'll see how at all unfolds. Yeah, Dallas didn't
play anybody. Kyrie looked good last night though they had
like he put it on Steph Curry.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah he did. You can always tell.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
You can always tell when certain guys have a guy
they're gonna go at, like permanently for the duration of
our career. Because watch this, Kyrie loves to go as Steph,
like Steph loved to go at CP three all those years,
Like anytime he went against CP three, he was.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Like, I'm putting in the old days when Isaiah used
to go after John Stockton, yep, taking his place a
great example, right, and the even before that, just the ide.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Everybody's always saying, oh he Magic's number one, but boy
Stockton is the second best boy guy in all ways
trying to take it to him.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
That's fun. I missed. I missed the days when these
days are over.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
But you know, like Kobe would guard Tracy McGrady or
even though he's smaller, he would go guard Alan Iverson
and this person d Wade would guard Kobe and like
the matchups you were signing up for. Like I missed
that era when the bigs with Patrick Ewing and Hakeem
were going heads up. David Robinson and the keem you
know now they're just like, hey, go hide you you
go over there, and so you don't have to guard
the other good guy, like no, no, no, man up.
(33:25):
I love to see that. I missed that to put
a button on the conversation we were having yesterday. Uh
you got their officially moving on from Aaron Rodgers the Jets,
So no real surprise there. We talked about it yesterday
that they decided yes, yes, don't get mad at us
because he's the one always in the news.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
What you want. I'm just well, we talked about it yesterday, right,
Just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
What else to say.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Nothing, he'll be on He'll be on a team. Yeah,
people look at though I don't. I don't even think Raiders.
He'll be on a team. There's people looking for quarterback.
Half the league needs a what are back? Without a doubt.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I mean there's about there's a handful of teams who actually,
we know public les need one. Then there's about a
sneaky few that aren't happy with They might have say
in public, but they.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Might make a change and say, you know what, we
got some other piece on the defense is pretty good listen.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
For instance, like let's say in the reports, are the
Kellen Moore, new coach of the Saints, said he's not
he's noncommittal on Derek Carr. But let's say for whatever reason,
Derek Carr stays and because they're just like, hey, we
need somebody. I could see Aaron Rodgers going there and
the being like Derek Carr, ain't no automatic that you're
starting with Aaron Rodgers here, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
This is nothing new for quarterbacks. They've all finished their
careers with other teams.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Oh, I mean, this is the greatest one of all times.
Joe Montana because it wasn't like he was on his last.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Leg and they just had Steve and they wanted to
get him in there, the younger guy, and he won
to what he went to one just one with ninety four,
but he won and got that Super Bowl championship. And
then there's other people. You know, we all talked about
the MS, I mean even bought Star. Who is it
(35:06):
who am I thinking of?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
With the Colts? Not Johnny knighted are you Johnny Knight?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Johnny United might have finished with the Rams too, But
but that happens, that happens and so most quarterbacks don't finish.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, even Tom Brady because it went mostly good. He
won with the Bucks. But like, no, that coming ready
to move on from him too, You remember, I mean
in your brain, you're like, he's a lifer.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
It was a couple of years before that would would
him and Bill Belichick, Bill Belichick and and Jo.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
They you know, he was wanting to keep Jimmy G.
They were ready to make a move. Remember the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Did Jimmy G find the edge of the earth? And
is he like where the heck is Jimmy G? At
My guys know I'm saying, if you're Jimmy G and
if you look at his winning percentage and getting teams
and super bowls, like you would think he was horrible.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
This is what I'm saying. It was horrible.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
What I'm like, he could sit there and be like, man,
he beat the pack is probably like sixty five, sixty seven,
sixty eight percent of.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
The games on one and you can check this. Yeah,
he beat the Packers in the playoff game and didn't
throw any touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I remember that. But I mean you could beat the
team without throwing.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
No, I'm just saying, but and I think he threw
one against Dallas, Like they won two games in the
playoffs to get to the super Bowl and he only
threw one touchdown in two games.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, he's gonna have a weird because if you look
at his statue or his career, like he won a lot,
why don't nobody want him?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
