Speaker 3 (03:02):

come in, do my radio show and leave. I'm not
in office politics.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Right, That's that sounds good. That's how we're starting off with.
Is the April first, April Fool's Day? Who are you
trying to fool?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Is that what it is? All right? Hey, let's welcome
in the couple of cup. We wouldn't be able to
do this fine radio program without him. Rob G is
our producer, Alex is our engineer, Steve de Seger's at
the anchor desk. He'll keep us updated throughout the program,
and our social media guru noh one Elijah.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
It's getting earlier and earlier.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It is, so we are in full effect on this
funky flashback Friday. So let's get going. Let's do this,
Rob G. We'll bring you in de Marcus, Lawrence and
Michael Parson's beefing and it's pretty uh, pretty out in
the public. One thing to be for have some words
(04:04):
or saying stuff. But ever since Lawrence left to what Seattle, Yeah, Seattle.
He went to Seattle and Michael Parson's called him a
clown or whatever. Rob J. Phillis in because it took
another step on this thing.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Well you mentioned it there. DeMarcus Lawrence had been a
lifelong Cowboy. He grew up in the area, so playing
for the Dallas Cowboys was a big deal and he
wanted to resign this offseason. According to multiple reports, they
didn't even offer him an extension. They'd rather eat the
dead cap than bring him back this season. That's how
they felt about him. Towards the end, they thought that
his injuries had gotten to a point where he was
(04:40):
no longer valuable enough on the field to offset the
leadership that he does provide off the field. So he
spoke to a Seahawks blogger one of those video podcasts
that they do about his decision to leave Dallas and
join Seattle.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And here's what DeMarcus Lawrence said.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Change the scenery is always good, you know, but Dallas
is my home made my home there. You know, my
family lives there forever going to be there. But I
know for sure I'm not gonna win a Super Bowl
there out.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So when that went viral last night, right as this
show is ending, Michaeh. Parsons, as he's been known to do,
went on Twitter fire back saying, quote, this what rejection
and envy look like? This some clown blank de Marcus
Lawrence because he had time and now who lives on
the West coast, so it was early for him, came
right back on Twitter with the Twitter of his own saying, quote,
(05:32):
calling me a clown won't change.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
The fact that I told the truth.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Maybe if you spent less time tweeting more time winning,
I would not have left.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And you know what, thank goodness for DeMarcus Lawrence really
because he just hit it right on the head. Kelvin.
And we've talked about it. People can do whatever they
want in their spare time and the off season or whatever,
but the Cowboys defense hasn't been good enough, and we've
seen what an embarrassing year it was, especially early on
(06:05):
when they were giving up a forty piece of chicken
every week, including that playoff loss to Green Bay and
Micah Parsons should be. At one point people were talking
about him in the same vein as a Lawrence Taylor,
and I think that was way premature. I get it
he got off to a great start, but he hadn't
been close to Lawrence Taylor. The closest might be walking
(06:29):
by him at the Super Bowl, you know what I
mean when we were in New Orleans. Yeah, that's about
as close as he is the Lawrence Taylor at this point.
And it was bad. And he's done nothing more than
to antagonize other players, insult his own teammates, all kinds
of stuff that to me just doesn't doesn't feel good
(06:51):
as far as having a guy be a leader or
somebody there. It just seems like he's all worried about
the future in life after football, rather just digging in
and putting up, you know, and doing your best ten
or twelve years or whatever and going on at it
and then from there, if you make an impact as
a player and you have a personality, you have an opportunity.
(07:15):
It's just that I don't understand why it's now. And
Lawrence isn't the only one. There were other players who
privately said stuff about him doing all the other stuff.
This is not a one guy. People know your work,
habits your teammates. They know who works hard, who's skating,
(07:36):
you know who's not locked in. And I think that
that's where Michael Parsons is. I said it before. We
need to change the name of his podcast to turn
off as Micah because that's what needs to happen in Dallas.
If this guy really wants to live up to his potential.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It's disappointing, it really is.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
This dude, DeMarcus Lawrence gave his all to an organization
and obviously he was paid, so it was a fair exchange.
But he's moving on and it's his right to tell
his story. It's his right to share why he wants
to leave. It's his right, by the way, Rob to
spit facts. And he ain't winning a super Bowl in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
You know why. They've won a super Bowl almost thirty years.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Okay, I haven't been to anf they haven't gone to.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
An NFC Championship in twenty nine years.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know, they're the only team to have two dudes
go owing three indivisional rounds. That would be Tony Romo
and that would be Dak Prescott. So don't get mad
at Jamarsky Lawrence for spitting facts. Michael Parsons also keep
my name and what I got.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Going on out your mouth?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
He said, hey, I always love Dallas, He'll always be home,
but I wouldn't go win the super Bowl there. He
didn't say, by the way, I don't like Micah and
the defense is trash and he ain't.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
A start or Dak Prescott is a bomb exactly so.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And then they called him, Now this in the call
of man.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
A clown is wild. See that's where it gets. If
he said, hey, man, don't worry about us. We're gonna
be good without you, all right, that would be already
pushing out. But a call somebody a clown, not text
messages where y'all had some personal beat, but to put
it out there on the internet, I disrespect. I think
that's very disrespectful. And I don't respect somebody who's doing
that for a man who didn't say anything to you.
And at this point market Michael Parsons is becoming more
(09:15):
known for defending his tweets and defending his podcast then
he has defensively on the field.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Michael Parsons is more known for that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
He's more known for backpedaling and having to backtrack and
say different things online and podcasts and social media, then
his own defensive stands and back pedaling on the defensive
side of the ball. Like I'm disappointed again. And what
he's become is more of a distraction and more of
like like you know, the teenagers who gossip, but the
(09:45):
teenagers who get into trouble all the time on online.
That's what he's become. And it's a disappointment because of
how great he is. He is a great player and
we should be talking about his prowess on the field,
not his prowess with his Twitter fingers.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Not a fact. Even Lawrence Taylor did say something about it. Correctly,
he did.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Lawrence Taylor said, Lawn Taylor, he said, less of the podcasting,
more of the footballing. So this is just getting odd
when when a young man has chosen to become and
put his nose in every conversation. And I'm gonna say
this again for those young people who may be listening
to the couple, just because you can doesn't mean you should. So, yes,
(10:25):
you can have a podcast, Yes you could have responded
to DeMarcus Lawrence's you know his comments. Yes, you can
talk about the top ten quarterbacks. Oh, by the way,
you might want to put yours in there. And yes,
you can have your own open discussions about your own
negotiations publicly about your own, but you shouldn't and that
(10:45):
would be something I would tell Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And I do want to say that. You know, you
talked about calling somebody a clown. A lot of people
wonder why they get blocked on my Twitter, And it's
real simple. When you get into name calling, you get
blocked on you. By the way, it's my Twitter, and
I'll block it. Bob walk to block it.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Walk to flop bo walk too.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
You would block to if they tried to dish you.
It's real simple. So you start with any kind of
names if you want to talk about the top or
debate me right and disagree, but you have a take,
I'll go with that. But as soon as you start
the name call and you get blocked immediately.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I just I just can't believe he jumped in another
man's business life, like he literally did not mention him
at all. All he said was, Hey, I love Dallas.
Dallas's home from there as if.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
As if he owns the Cowboys? Did Jerry Jones shine
in like like what what? What made you feel like
you needed to chime in on that?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And again, Dan Lawrence, they spending nothing but facts, Rob,
nothing but facts. And if you felt that type of way, Michael,
then you rally up the team and y'all shut everybody
up on Sundays and then the postse.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, good luck with that, all right? Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
sixty three sixty nine. Real simple? Was DeMarcus Lawrence right
about Micah Parsons and the Cowboys? We'll continue that conversation
next with you. It is The Odd Couple on Fox
Sports Radio on this funky Flashback Friday, Rob Parker, Kelvin Washington.

Michael Parson's JaMarcus Lawrence getting into a little Twitter beef
(13:25):
if you will.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
And so we're wondering, is Mike out a line?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Does he have a point? Does he need to mind
his own business to stick to football? Eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox Who we got?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Let's go with Chris in Memphis. You're on the Odd
Couple Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Chris?
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (13:42):
What's going on?
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Mister Robb, mister Kelvin, how y'all doing?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Man?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
What doing?
Speaker 11 (13:46):
Man?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Rain?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
How are you?
Speaker 9 (13:48):
I ain't doing okay, man, I'm doing okay. Hey, hey,
I mean I just want to say this and as
a cowboy paying, been a cowboy paying almost thirty five years,
but that this is about it. Berserk Ever said over.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
These two then they Stewart on Swither but the markets laws.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
I say that I agree with him to where he
was saying that not winning a Super Bowl in Dallas,
but also at the same time, he got to look
at him he played during them seasons where they were
coming on short as well.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think he took hisself out of it.
He just said that I don't think that they're gonna
win a super Bowl, right right, right.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
But as far as mister Parsons, I can't understand, you know,
sending enough for his organization as a as a player.
But it's sad for him to get rid of their
podcast and stay off of social media because he got
to focus on on their fields on Sundays.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
No doubt, and it's time, all right, it's time for
him to get there. At some point he's gonna call
Christ no doubt about a Fred in Maryland, you're in
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Fred,
say let's tell y'all doing doing great good.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Fred Man, I'm.
Speaker 10 (15:12):
Gonna say this, the Markin's laws all the pocket. The
dude been eleven years, he never showed up EPI since
he got paid. Yeah, twenty six sacks in two years
in twenty seven, after he's been he should have been gone.
But then this you you Sposta have been the leader
in it before that young dude aside and told to him,
not saying he did or didn't, but I can say
(15:33):
he didn't because he went to Twitter to run his mouth.
But then Michael didn't call him a clown. He said,
what you did at some clowns stuff? Now if you
acting like a clown? And I said, you acting like
a clown, I ain't called you claims.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
They and okay, that's show. That's me fair. He didn't
call him a clown. He saw that. What did he
do that was clown other than say I love Dallas.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Dallas home right, And then he said, but hey, I
wasn't winning the super Bowl? Where there wasn't Where were
there not facts? Where's the super Bowl? Where was the Lions?
The streets say it was.
Speaker 10 (16:09):
Seattle.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Just talking about Seattle. We talked about Dallas.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He didn't say that. If he wouldn't mind you, and
you know, we would have taken him the task. If
he said I came to Seattle to win the Super Bowl,
we would have gone off.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Hey, Seattle have been the three Super Bowls in the
last twenty years and Dallas has been nowhere.
Speaker 10 (16:26):
Se to me, that part, I mean, y'all right about that.
Speaker 12 (16:28):
That's about it.
Speaker 10 (16:29):
But my thing is, don't talk when talk when it's
you was there. You could have been brought up while
you were there.
Speaker 13 (16:37):
Don't talk going up the door.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Okay, last point for me, Hold on, last point for me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Thanks you for the couldn't that make it more relevant
than I know we ain't winning nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Because I was there, Rob. If I work.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Somewhere and I know it's trash and I know they
ain't doing what they need to do to win, don't
I have all the validity to say, man, we ain't
winning there because I know what the I've been.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
There for fourteen years.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I've been there all the time, and I know what
goes on.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I could tell you I ain't winning.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And what he was truthful about was Michael Parson's and
all the social media and all that other stuff that
was spot on Ryan in Alabama. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Ryan?
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Hey? Guys's going on? Guys? How you Hey? Listen we're
talking football. And would have ever been to Montgomery, Alabama?
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yes, Actually, Rob, we were there in ABJA a couple
of years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Three, we were in Birmingham.
Speaker 11 (17:31):
No work.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
It's a football factory down here. You know, Montgomery got
players coming left, right, center off for decades. So that's
what they do.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
They talk mesh and you know, sometimes you don't want
to hear what you want to hear.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
But I'll tell you this, some of them don't need
to be in social media, right.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
We just need to play football, just like they did
talk to do for decades.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Just play. All that stuff will happen. Play on your
off time, off season. You want to talk about stuff
or do, that's fine. I just think Michael Parsons has
carried it too far without without the results. That's the problem.
Without the results.
Speaker 12 (18:09):
One more thing, real quick, Dallas is a dumpsterified right now,
and Terry Jones won't leave it alone. He won't give
it up.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
So it's you know, it's it's not Dallas team that
we're used to and they all catching hell of that
that Dallas man we were talking about, uh, you know,
Seattle Hotel.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Thank you appreciate it, John, and Waco, Texas. You're on
the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, John?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (18:37):
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (18:38):
Fellas? How y'all?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Man?
Speaker 10 (18:39):
All good, good, good good?
Speaker 11 (18:42):
Hey man. So I've been listening to the show for
a while and this one definitely caught my interest. Not
every topic catches my interest, but this one. Man, Michael Parsons,
I think everybody can agree that this dude should focus
more of than he does on on the other things
that he's fossing on like Twitter and doing his podcast
(19:05):
and all that. There's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 12 (19:06):
But when you're a pro you should you should be.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Focusing more on on the football field than anything else,
especially if your team is doing as bad as.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
The cool right right.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
If you're winning, you could do whatever you want, you
really can. But John, that that defense. Don't forget starting
the year in the playoffs, they gave up for a
forty piece, like four or five games in a row exactly.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
I mean, the proof is in the putting. I mean,
we don't really have to dig deep to see that.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
Now.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
DeMarcus Lawrence, on the other hand, Uh, he's just pointing
out what he saw when he was there and now
that he's he's no longer a part of that franchise.
He's just calling it how he sees it, so you
know you want to That's my two cents, all right, John.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Thanks for the support, Thanks for listening. How about Andrew
in Bakersfield, California. You're on the Yond couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Andrew Felis? Is that it? You
got it right?
Speaker 13 (20:05):
Happy Friday? Guys?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Rob g Was that right? That was right?
Speaker 13 (20:14):
I think it's a low blow, a cheap shot by
the markets Lawrence, because he's trying to tell the future.
You can't say we'll never win there.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
It looked like he can tho. It's almost been thirty years.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's been a long time, and he's just talking about
what he experienced there. He ain't no clothes. Here's the
other part. I don't really have a problem. He didn't
go personal. He would have said if he would have
said that right, like, oh, you won't win because if
Michael Parson is leading your defense and you got no shot, Okay,
those are fighting words. Exactly, but I.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
Do agree that Michael Parsons should maybe drop the podcast
and maybe get some balance on what he says.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No doubt, look at look at it, thank you, and
look at Paul George finally gave up his podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah, podcast peace.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That's the bad part is it got a bad podcast
and a bad basketball career.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yes, anything else bad, one more bad, just making a
trifecta that he's saying like, Yeah, I just Mica got
a relax. I don't you jump in another man's business.
He is mentioned nothing about you, didn't say anything personal.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'm just kind of on the kipper of the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, I'm blown away that he would do that and
call it clown stuff. That was that was kind of
wild to me. All right, Uh, another team making some
moves that were they the best moves to make.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
We'll tell you what we're talking about right now is
what's trending.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
According to multiple outlets, the Cincinnati Bengals are very near
finalizing deals with both of their wide receivers t Higgins,
as we know, it's been a long drawn out process
back to back franchise tags. Expectation is he'll be somewhere
between twenty eight and thirty two million dollars a season.
But the big headline, Jamar Chase, who not only wants
(22:47):
to be the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL,
has stated through his representation he wants to be the
highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. Miles Garrett just
top forty million now as a result to Diana Reciini.
The expectation is that Jamar Chase will indeed get forty
(23:07):
plus million dollars a season, which means that these two
receivers will combine to average over seventy million dollars a
year to stay in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Hello, is this on this all? Okay? Do they realize
that without defense it ain't gonna matter for real? Like
the idea that you're gonna pay the quarterback and two
receivers that kind of cabbage. Do you remember last year
against the Ravens.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, okay, when Joe Burrow threw nine touchdowns in those
two games and lost both games. He threw nine touchdowns
in two games against the Ravens and lost both games.
And my big point is, you gotta make sure you
take care of the other side of the ball as well.
(23:57):
You can't outscore everybody. It can't be done. You gotta
get stopped, you gotta rush the passer, you gotta stop
the run. Hello.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, listen, I know they're trying to make Joe Burrow happy,
as they should, right, that's their guy and they want
to have him for the next decade and half shots
at winning Super Bowls And part of making him happy
is signing his toys right his fast you know speed
cars on the outside. T Higgins, Jamar Chase obviously a
long standing relationship with Jamar Chase. They go back to college,
(24:31):
so that makes sense. I get it in Jamar Chase
is an actual game changer. The issue I have more
than anything Rob is they could have done this years ago,
specifically with T.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Higgins.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
They franchise them, They're gonna franchise them this year again
would have been the second year. And then obviously they've
worked on a deal here, but they could have done
this in advance. And to me or you say, we
ain't letting Jamar go anywhere, the connection between him and
Joel is top notch in the NFL. So we're nowhere
signing him for a longer deal. Then let's trade teagans.
Let's sign them and trade them. Let's get what we
(25:04):
can get out of them, so we can't secure some defense.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
So to me, they had earlier options.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It was to either get a deal done a year
or two ago so that they can pay him less. You know,
maybe it was twenty million, then maybe twenty willion and
save a few extra millions on the back end, and
you have a longer deal, you're good to go, or
like I said, you sign and trade him to get
some the defensive guys, because one of the things that
you just mentioned. Look, you ain't got to be the
Baltimore Ravens or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in O
(25:31):
three to as far as defense, but you can't be
twenty fifth and average points per game that you allowed,
you can't be twenty fifth in total yards per game.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
That's not gonna cut it.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And we saw that last year when you had Joe
Burrow playing some of the best football of his life
and in accounting for nothing. And so they gave up
a bunch of rushing yards. They were nineteenth there, they
gave up passing yards, they were twenty first there. And
by the way, their best defensive player he ain't there
no more.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
So I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I guess they figured we put up seventy two points,
maybe who will beat you.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Hopefully you don't give up seventy three.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And here's the other thing that will tell you all
you need to know. Joe Burrow had an unbelievable offensive
year at quarterback. Yeah, and got no first place votes
in the MVP. And that's because his defense couldn't win
stop people to win some games, you know what I mean.
It affects everything. So the idea of having this offense
and thinking you're just gonna outscore everybody doesn't make any sense.
(26:32):
And I get it. You have to really starve wide receivers.
You got to figure it out. Maybe you can't keep both,
you know, like sometimes you can, and you need to
find somebody else and add some defense. That's all I'm saying.
I'm not mad at the guys getting paid. They deserve it.
It just seems weird for Cincinnati, Like that doesn't seem
like a winning proposition to me. It just doesn't win.
(26:54):
Three players, yeah, take up so much of the cap space.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I think it's fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
If I'm not mistaken, fifty percent of the cap is
gonna be to those three players. Again, heck of a
three players, right, put fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
And again I just.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Reiterate my point that you had a chance to take
care of earlier. And one of the things good franchises
du rob their fortune tellers, right, they have great foresight.
They say, hmm, Joe Burrow is incredible. We know he's
gonna be our guy. Hopefully forever. The whole tenure of
his career. Duration of his career, Jamar Chase is incredible,
(27:27):
has been from the jump. And you know who else
has been really daggone good the whole time he's been
in the league.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Te Higgins. So why don't we sign him early? Okay? Cool?
Why don't we give him a deal? Earth?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Okay, you know what, We're not gonna pay all three
of these guys, So let's sign him and get some
defensive guys around here. Let's tighten up this offensive line.
By the way, that's one of the things that wasn't
that great. They just Joe Burrow was able to make
it look better than he was. So there are the
few options that they had. And again, this is why
the franchise has been one of the more poorer RAN
franchises in the last thirty years is because of moves
(27:59):
like this.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
You gotta see what's coming.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
It's a mom rt hop store, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
No, but you ain't got to be a bad moment.
Some of our favorite restaurants are mom and pops. Right,
some of your favorite places to go get nice boutique
clothes or shoes are Mom and Pops. Just because his
mom and pops don't mean that to be run wrong
or incorrectly.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, I'm just saying like they don't have enough help,
they don't have enough foresight. You know, it's it's it's
run by Mike Brown.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Is miss Cleo still with us, rob Gy? They better
go call it MIT's Cleo? Hey, what do we need
to do? What's happened in the future something?
Speaker 5 (28:31):
My goodness, Well, guys, what makes this even worse? And
you mentioned any other defense is bad? Trey Hendrickson may
or may not be back right now the way that
the free agency will see. But to your point, their
defense was bottom ten in yards, bottom ten in points allowed.
Here's the thing that makes it even worse if you
really want to dive deep into the numbers. Even with that,
(28:54):
they were top ten in takeaways. As you guys know, historically,
save for you know, maybe the Steelers in the Ravens,
takeaways are very fluky. Yes, year to year, you cannot
always count on to turn the football over. So let's
say they regress to the middle of the pack. You
mean to tell me that they're gonna go from twenty
five points a game defensively down to twenty one or
(29:16):
is it gonna go out from twenty five to twenty
eight Angels.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Here's that's how real it is. Steve has some breaking
news right there.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Right, So, like, if that's the case, if they become
a normal average takeaway team, that number points per game
and yards per game is only gonna get worse.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Well, rob okay, here, now, let me play them in
this scenario.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You're saying, Roggie, let's say you're right, and they even
would concede that point. What they're gonna say is, well,
we're not gonna be that bad defensively again.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Well we just missed a few plays last year.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
If there are a couple of flu I'm just that's
what they're gonna get, you know, try to convince themselves
of hey, what are it. Just like you said, we're
gonna regrets to the means of turnovers, Well, we're gonna
regrets to the mean means of giving up you know,
points allowed yards alive.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
We won't be that the bottom, We'll be in the
middle of the pack.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
That's what I heard when I heard from the Lions
for twenty years, when I covered all the games.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Man, listen, man, if you don't stop going back to
you I'm just I'm just bringing her up. Don't nobody
want to hear about your bringing up your X all
the time in a negative?
Speaker 3 (30:18):
But that's what I always heard, is the same.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Well, guess what you're about to hear what I used
to hear.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh yeah, you're just a Louisiana rub, Rob Louisiana Rub.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Be very just.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You're gonna be so disappointed like this will be and
then you'll finally be like, you know what the window
did close?
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I'm wrong, window. I can't even believe you, Robgi what
you tell this man?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I want Louisiana Rub and then the other half I
want the uh Korean barbecue.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
So I'm gonna get.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I'm gonna get eight and eight Louisiana Rub and Korean
barbecue and I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
And their fries are bombed too, by the way, Robbie,
you wh me on that?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Are you gonna mix that into the bed too? Like, hey,
I got to get a sign of from Wing's.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Gotta come with it right, I mean that part of
the deal. I assume it's a meal. No, I'll take
the ten.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Piece, no fries, no drinks. Well, I want you to
be depends on how far we're taking the diet thing.
You know what I mean. If it's well, we got
to the fall, we got like I'm gonna die to
the fall.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yes, it's the winner. Actually got to wait to the postseason.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
It's time now for Secle City.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Welcome to Shekel City, the whole base for Rob Parker's
day Dicks against the sprat.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
All.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Right, here we go a little Shekel City. One and
two last night the total is sixty six and sixty seven.
We can bounce back. We're going with the Denver Nuggets
minus fourteen and a half in Denver taking on the Lakers.
The Lakers are without like nine or ten people. I
don't know how many people are not missing. Yeah, they
(33:53):
gave me a said I might need to come up
the bench smush Parker playing tonight. I'm just trying to
figure this out. I mean, it's that bad, uh, minus
fourteen and a half. I believe Denver wins by twenty one.
That's just where I'm at. Okay, San Antonio Spurs minus
two and a half taking on the Hornets in San
Antonio and Memphis plus two and a half. I know
(34:17):
Cleveland has a what are they going? They got sixteen
game winning streak, fifteen fifteen, going for sixteen, which would
be their franchise record. They don't get there. I'm gonna
say Memphis plus two and a half. So again, Memphis
plus two and a half, the Spurs minus two and
a half, and the Denver Nuggets Chicken Nuggets minus fourteen
and a half. And remember, Calvin, I'm not telling you
(34:40):
who'd have bet on. I'm telling you who I better.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah, that's just you know, it's we talked about a
little bit, man, but Cleveland has just been like they
are really really good.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Again. We'll we talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
We'll have to wait and see what they end up
doing ultimately in the playoffs. But man, it's I mean,
they've beaten teams without Donovant Mitchell with I think they're
like five or six and oh without Donovan Mitchell's, Oh.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
They're really good. And Kenny Adkington can coach.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
We know that for sure, for sure, without a doubt. Hey,
you had thoughts.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
So'mles Garrett, who put out a little more statement after
he's got this new deal with the Browns.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I just think, I mean, you can say whatever you want,
and he's still thinking about winning. And it wasn't about money.
It just why why continue to keep saying all this stuff?
None of it makes any sense to me. If you
wanted to pay raise, you should say I didn't have
any more guaranteed money, and I want a new deal,
and where's my deal if I want to stay here?
(35:36):
I don't think anybody would be mad at that. Instead,
he went another route, bad mouthed the Browns in the
organization right all over Super Bowl radio row, and then
put out a statement that he wanted to win and
he couldn't win there, and all of a sudden, by
him signing the biggest contract for a non quarterback, now
(35:57):
he's winning. He just said, you couldn't win there. They
didn't add anybody, right, Like, none of it makes sense
to people who interviewed him. I would say, how you
said that you couldn't win, right? And now I'm asking
you what changed other than your bank account. They didn't
add anybody, They didn't get too all pros overnight, Like
(36:18):
what really in that division?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
What what's changed? Come on missing it? You missing it?
He ain't saying he was gonna win on the field.
He said he was winning at the bank. Now that's
what he said. He said, it's a winning it's a
winning happening. Oh, that's what he was talking about, right.
You know what he was talking about, Rob You know
he's a minority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was
talking about their winning. Now that's what he's saying. He
want to talk about the Browns winning.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
No, I mean, listen, you know I said this whenever
we talked about it. Earlier in the week.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
They made him an all free camp if he couldn't
refuse on some godfather stuff. Because I do think in
his mind, I've had enough, I'm ready to go win.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
I want to go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
But when they came back with those kind of dollars,
as we just mentioned prior to Jamar chasing this whole
deal with the Bengals, this y'all works out him being
the highest paid down quarterback. I think that makes you
pump on them anti lock bricks, hold on.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
But that but that that doesn't make sense if you're
serious about winning. We've seen players take less money to
go to winning situations. So all I'm saying to you
is I get it, and the money and all that
but no, but that wasn't what it was about. It
was that he didn't have any more guaranteed money and
he shouldn't have played the people of Cleveland and you
(37:28):
don't have to do that publicly in order to get paid.
He's so good. No matter where he went, he would
have gotten paid. I'm sorry, it's interesting. He would have
gotten paid. He's that good.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Oh no, he was gonna get paid. It might not
have been years.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
So he had the highest paid for one week. What
does that mean?
Speaker 4 (37:47):
One week?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I don't think the title as much as what it meant.
But quick, I mean, shoot, interesting report. We don't have
time to get into it now. But the athletics Jason
Lloyd talked about in his column today, how as well
known within that building that Garrett frequently, he's laid all
the time, he skips mandatory meeting.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Still gave him the money anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
So that was interesting colonization. Yeah, I was kind of
blown away. I thought just by and this is you know,
obviously that's not being there. I thought he was the leader,
one of the guys that could depend on. No, I
guess I was wrong. But he's going to the bis
egg

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I'm right, it's always them. It's always them one.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Me.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'm like, I'm I don't do anything here. I just
come in, do my radio show and leave. I'm not
in office politics.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Right, That's that sounds good. That's how we're starting off with.
Is the April first, April Fool's Day? Who are you
trying to fool?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Is that what it is? All right? Hey, let's welcome
in the couple of cup. We wouldn't be able to
do this fine radio program without him. Rob G is
our producer, Alex is our engineer, Steve de Seger's at
the anchor desk. He'll keep us updated throughout the program,
and our social media guru noh one Elijah.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
It's getting earlier and earlier.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It is, so we are in full effect on this
funky flashback Friday. So let's get going. Let's do this,
Rob G. We'll bring you in de Marcus, Lawrence and
Michael Parson's beefing and it's pretty uh, pretty out in
the public. One thing to be for have some words
(04:04):
or saying stuff. But ever since Lawrence left to what Seattle, Yeah, Seattle.
He went to Seattle and Michael Parson's called him a
clown or whatever. Rob J. Phillis in because it took
another step on this thing.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Well you mentioned it there. DeMarcus Lawrence had been a
lifelong Cowboy. He grew up in the area, so playing
for the Dallas Cowboys was a big deal and he
wanted to resign this offseason. According to multiple reports, they
didn't even offer him an extension. They'd rather eat the
dead cap than bring him back this season. That's how
they felt about him. Towards the end, they thought that
his injuries had gotten to a point where he was
(04:40):
no longer valuable enough on the field to offset the
leadership that he does provide off the field. So he
spoke to a Seahawks blogger one of those video podcasts
that they do about his decision to leave Dallas and
join Seattle.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And here's what DeMarcus Lawrence said.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Change the scenery is always good, you know, but Dallas
is my home made my home there. You know, my
family lives there forever going to be there. But I
know for sure I'm not gonna win a Super Bowl
there out.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
So when that went viral last night, right as this
show is ending, Michaeh. Parsons, as he's been known to do,
went on Twitter fire back saying, quote, this what rejection
and envy look like? This some clown blank de Marcus
Lawrence because he had time and now who lives on
the West coast, so it was early for him, came
right back on Twitter with the Twitter of his own saying, quote,
(05:32):
calling me a clown won't change.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
The fact that I told the truth.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Maybe if you spent less time tweeting more time winning,
I would not have left.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And you know what, thank goodness for DeMarcus Lawrence really
because he just hit it right on the head. Kelvin.
And we've talked about it. People can do whatever they
want in their spare time and the off season or whatever,
but the Cowboys defense hasn't been good enough, and we've
seen what an embarrassing year it was, especially early on
(06:05):
when they were giving up a forty piece of chicken
every week, including that playoff loss to Green Bay and
Micah Parsons should be. At one point people were talking
about him in the same vein as a Lawrence Taylor,
and I think that was way premature. I get it
he got off to a great start, but he hadn't
been close to Lawrence Taylor. The closest might be walking
(06:29):
by him at the Super Bowl, you know what I
mean when we were in New Orleans. Yeah, that's about
as close as he is the Lawrence Taylor at this point.
And it was bad. And he's done nothing more than
to antagonize other players, insult his own teammates, all kinds
of stuff that to me just doesn't doesn't feel good
(06:51):
as far as having a guy be a leader or
somebody there. It just seems like he's all worried about
the future in life after football, rather just digging in
and putting up, you know, and doing your best ten
or twelve years or whatever and going on at it
and then from there, if you make an impact as
a player and you have a personality, you have an opportunity.
(07:15):
It's just that I don't understand why it's now. And
Lawrence isn't the only one. There were other players who
privately said stuff about him doing all the other stuff.
This is not a one guy. People know your work,
habits your teammates. They know who works hard, who's skating,
(07:36):
you know who's not locked in. And I think that
that's where Michael Parsons is. I said it before. We
need to change the name of his podcast to turn
off as Micah because that's what needs to happen in Dallas.
If this guy really wants to live up to his potential.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It's disappointing, it really is.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
This dude, DeMarcus Lawrence gave his all to an organization
and obviously he was paid, so it was a fair exchange.
But he's moving on and it's his right to tell
his story. It's his right to share why he wants
to leave. It's his right, by the way, Rob to
spit facts. And he ain't winning a super Bowl in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
You know why. They've won a super Bowl almost thirty years.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Okay, I haven't been to anf they haven't gone to.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
An NFC Championship in twenty nine years.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You know, they're the only team to have two dudes
go owing three indivisional rounds. That would be Tony Romo
and that would be Dak Prescott. So don't get mad
at Jamarsky Lawrence for spitting facts. Michael Parsons also keep
my name and what I got.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Going on out your mouth?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
He said, hey, I always love Dallas, He'll always be home,
but I wouldn't go win the super Bowl there. He
didn't say, by the way, I don't like Micah and
the defense is trash and he ain't.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
A start or Dak Prescott is a bomb exactly so.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And then they called him, Now this in the call
of man.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
A clown is wild. See that's where it gets. If
he said, hey, man, don't worry about us. We're gonna
be good without you, all right, that would be already
pushing out. But a call somebody a clown, not text
messages where y'all had some personal beat, but to put
it out there on the internet, I disrespect. I think
that's very disrespectful. And I don't respect somebody who's doing
that for a man who didn't say anything to you.
And at this point market Michael Parsons is becoming more
(09:15):
known for defending his tweets and defending his podcast then
he has defensively on the field.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Michael Parsons is more known for that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
He's more known for backpedaling and having to backtrack and
say different things online and podcasts and social media, then
his own defensive stands and back pedaling on the defensive
side of the ball. Like I'm disappointed again. And what
he's become is more of a distraction and more of
like like you know, the teenagers who gossip, but the
(09:45):
teenagers who get into trouble all the time on online.
That's what he's become. And it's a disappointment because of
how great he is. He is a great player and
we should be talking about his prowess on the field,
not his prowess with his Twitter fingers.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Not a fact. Even Lawrence Taylor did say something about it. Correctly,
he did.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Lawrence Taylor said, Lawn Taylor, he said, less of the podcasting,
more of the footballing. So this is just getting odd
when when a young man has chosen to become and
put his nose in every conversation. And I'm gonna say
this again for those young people who may be listening
to the couple, just because you can doesn't mean you should. So, yes,
(10:25):
you can have a podcast, Yes you could have responded
to DeMarcus Lawrence's you know his comments. Yes, you can
talk about the top ten quarterbacks. Oh, by the way,
you might want to put yours in there. And yes,
you can have your own open discussions about your own
negotiations publicly about your own, but you shouldn't and that
(10:45):
would be something I would tell Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And I do want to say that. You know, you
talked about calling somebody a clown. A lot of people
wonder why they get blocked on my Twitter, And it's
real simple. When you get into name calling, you get
blocked on you. By the way, it's my Twitter, and
I'll block it. Bob walk to block it.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Walk to flop bo walk too.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
You would block to if they tried to dish you.
It's real simple. So you start with any kind of
names if you want to talk about the top or
debate me right and disagree, but you have a take,
I'll go with that. But as soon as you start
the name call and you get blocked immediately.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I just I just can't believe he jumped in another
man's business life, like he literally did not mention him
at all. All he said was, Hey, I love Dallas.
Dallas's home from there as if.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
As if he owns the Cowboys? Did Jerry Jones shine
in like like what what? What made you feel like
you needed to chime in on that?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And again, Dan Lawrence, they spending nothing but facts, Rob,
nothing but facts. And if you felt that type of way, Michael,
then you rally up the team and y'all shut everybody
up on Sundays and then the postse.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, good luck with that, all right? Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
sixty three sixty nine. Real simple? Was DeMarcus Lawrence right
about Micah Parsons and the Cowboys? We'll continue that conversation

(13:25):
if you will.
Speaker 4 (13:26):

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Does he have a point? Does he need to mind
his own business to stick to football? Eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox Who we got?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Let's go with Chris in Memphis. You're on the Odd
Couple Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Chris?
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (13:42):
What's going on?
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Mister Robb, mister Kelvin, how y'all doing?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Man?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
What doing?
Speaker 11 (13:46):
Man?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Rain?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
How are you?
Speaker 9 (13:48):
I ain't doing okay, man, I'm doing okay. Hey, hey,
I mean I just want to say this and as
a cowboy paying, been a cowboy paying almost thirty five years,
but that this is about it. Berserk Ever said over.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
These two then they Stewart on Swither but the markets laws.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
I say that I agree with him to where he
was saying that not winning a Super Bowl in Dallas,
but also at the same time, he got to look
at him he played during them seasons where they were
coming on short as well.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think he took hisself out of it.
He just said that I don't think that they're gonna
win a super Bowl, right right, right.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
But as far as mister Parsons, I can't understand, you know,
sending enough for his organization as a as a player.
But it's sad for him to get rid of their
podcast and stay off of social media because he got
to focus on on their fields on Sundays.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
No doubt, and it's time, all right, it's time for
him to get there. At some point he's gonna call
Christ no doubt about a Fred in Maryland, you're in
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Fred,
say let's tell y'all doing doing great good.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Fred Man, I'm.
Speaker 10 (15:12):
Gonna say this, the Markin's laws all the pocket. The
dude been eleven years, he never showed up EPI since
he got paid. Yeah, twenty six sacks in two years
in twenty seven, after he's been he should have been gone.
But then this you you Sposta have been the leader
in it before that young dude aside and told to him,
not saying he did or didn't, but I can say
(15:33):
he didn't because he went to Twitter to run his mouth.
But then Michael didn't call him a clown. He said,
what you did at some clowns stuff? Now if you
acting like a clown? And I said, you acting like
a clown, I ain't called you claims.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
They and okay, that's show. That's me fair. He didn't
call him a clown. He saw that. What did he
do that was clown other than say I love Dallas.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Dallas home right, And then he said, but hey, I
wasn't winning the super Bowl? Where there wasn't Where were
there not facts? Where's the super Bowl? Where was the Lions?
The streets say it was.
Speaker 10 (16:09):
Seattle.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Just talking about Seattle. We talked about Dallas.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
He didn't say that. If he wouldn't mind you, and
you know, we would have taken him the task. If
he said I came to Seattle to win the Super Bowl,
we would have gone off.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Hey, Seattle have been the three Super Bowls in the
last twenty years and Dallas has been nowhere.
Speaker 10 (16:26):
Se to me, that part, I mean, y'all right about that.
Speaker 12 (16:28):
That's about it.
Speaker 10 (16:29):
But my thing is, don't talk when talk when it's
you was there. You could have been brought up while
you were there.
Speaker 13 (16:37):
Don't talk going up the door.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Okay, last point for me, Hold on, last point for me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Thanks you for the couldn't that make it more relevant
than I know we ain't winning nothing.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Because I was there, Rob. If I work.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Somewhere and I know it's trash and I know they
ain't doing what they need to do to win, don't
I have all the validity to say, man, we ain't
winning there because I know what the I've been.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
There for fourteen years.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I've been there all the time, and I know what
goes on.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I could tell you I ain't winning.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And what he was truthful about was Michael Parson's and
all the social media and all that other stuff that
was spot on Ryan in Alabama. You're on the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up Ryan?
Speaker 12 (17:14):
Hey? Guys's going on? Guys? How you Hey? Listen we're
talking football. And would have ever been to Montgomery, Alabama?
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yes, Actually, Rob, we were there in ABJA a couple
of years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Three, we were in Birmingham.
Speaker 11 (17:31):
No work.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
It's a football factory down here. You know, Montgomery got
players coming left, right, center off for decades. So that's
what they do.
Speaker 8 (17:40):
They talk mesh and you know, sometimes you don't want
to hear what you want to hear.
Speaker 12 (17:44):
But I'll tell you this, some of them don't need
to be in social media, right.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
We just need to play football, just like they did
talk to do for decades.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Just play. All that stuff will happen. Play on your
off time, off season. You want to talk about stuff
or do, that's fine. I just think Michael Parsons has
carried it too far without without the results. That's the problem.
Without the results.
Speaker 12 (18:09):
One more thing, real quick, Dallas is a dumpsterified right now,
and Terry Jones won't leave it alone. He won't give
it up.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
So it's you know, it's it's not Dallas team that
we're used to and they all catching hell of that
that Dallas man we were talking about, uh, you know,
Seattle Hotel.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Thank you appreciate it, John, and Waco, Texas. You're on
the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, John?
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Hey?
Speaker 13 (18:37):
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (18:38):
Fellas? How y'all?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
Man?
Speaker 10 (18:39):
All good, good, good good?
Speaker 11 (18:42):
Hey man. So I've been listening to the show for
a while and this one definitely caught my interest. Not
every topic catches my interest, but this one. Man, Michael Parsons,
I think everybody can agree that this dude should focus
more of than he does on on the other things
that he's fossing on like Twitter and doing his podcast
(19:05):
and all that. There's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 12 (19:06):
But when you're a pro you should you should be.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Focusing more on on the football field than anything else,
especially if your team is doing as bad as.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
The cool right right.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
If you're winning, you could do whatever you want, you
really can. But John, that that defense. Don't forget starting
the year in the playoffs, they gave up for a
forty piece, like four or five games in a row exactly.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
I mean, the proof is in the putting. I mean,
we don't really have to dig deep to see that.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
Now.
Speaker 11 (19:37):
DeMarcus Lawrence, on the other hand, Uh, he's just pointing
out what he saw when he was there and now
that he's he's no longer a part of that franchise.
He's just calling it how he sees it, so you
know you want to That's my two cents, all right, John.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Thanks for the support, Thanks for listening. How about Andrew
in Bakersfield, California. You're on the Yond couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Andrew Felis? Is that it? You
got it right?
Speaker 13 (20:05):
Happy Friday? Guys?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Rob g Was that right? That was right?
Speaker 13 (20:14):
I think it's a low blow, a cheap shot by
the markets Lawrence, because he's trying to tell the future.
You can't say we'll never win there.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
It looked like he can tho. It's almost been thirty years.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's been a long time, and he's just talking about
what he experienced there. He ain't no clothes. Here's the
other part. I don't really have a problem. He didn't
go personal. He would have said if he would have
said that right, like, oh, you won't win because if
Michael Parson is leading your defense and you got no shot, Okay,
those are fighting words. Exactly, but I.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
Do agree that Michael Parsons should maybe drop the podcast
and maybe get some balance on what he says.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
No doubt, look at look at it, thank you, and
look at Paul George finally gave up his podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah, podcast peace.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
That's the bad part is it got a bad podcast
and a bad basketball career.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yes, anything else bad, one more bad, just making a
trifecta that he's saying like, Yeah, I just Mica got
a relax. I don't you jump in another man's business.
He is mentioned nothing about you, didn't say anything personal.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'm just kind of on the kipper of the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, I'm blown away that he would do that and
call it clown stuff. That was that was kind of
wild to me. All right, Uh, another team making some
moves that were they the best moves to make.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
We'll tell you what we're talking about right now is
what's trending.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
And I don't know, I don't follow college basketball.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
That closely, you know, I let Steve answer.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
Go ahead, Steve, I think they were out a week ago?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
How about a week ago? All right? Thank you, Steve.
He Coverny. You live from the tirec dot com Seria.
You have the right reporter.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You are as a reporter who asked questions. Yes, even
though they are questions you already know the answer to.
All right, Rob, so, Rob G. Looks like the Bengals
receivers are getting the bags, and big time bags at that.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Tell us a little bit more about t Higgins and
Jamar Chase.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
According to multiple outlets, the Cincinnati Bengals are very near
finalizing deals with both of their wide receivers t Higgins,
as we know, it's been a long drawn out process
back to back franchise tags. Expectation is he'll be somewhere
between twenty eight and thirty two million dollars a season.
But the big headline, Jamar Chase, who not only wants
(22:47):
to be the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL,
has stated through his representation he wants to be the
highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. Miles Garrett just
top forty million now as a result to Diana Reciini.
The expectation is that Jamar Chase will indeed get forty
(23:07):
plus million dollars a season, which means that these two
receivers will combine to average over seventy million dollars a
year to stay in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Hello, is this on this all? Okay? Do they realize
that without defense it ain't gonna matter for real? Like
the idea that you're gonna pay the quarterback and two
receivers that kind of cabbage. Do you remember last year
against the Ravens.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, okay, when Joe Burrow threw nine touchdowns in those
two games and lost both games. He threw nine touchdowns
in two games against the Ravens and lost both games.
And my big point is, you gotta make sure you
take care of the other side of the ball as well.
(23:57):
You can't outscore everybody. It can't be done. You gotta
get stopped, you gotta rush the passer, you gotta stop
the run. Hello.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, listen, I know they're trying to make Joe Burrow happy,
as they should, right, that's their guy and they want
to have him for the next decade and half shots
at winning Super Bowls And part of making him happy
is signing his toys right his fast you know speed
cars on the outside. T Higgins, Jamar Chase obviously a
long standing relationship with Jamar Chase. They go back to college,
(24:31):
so that makes sense. I get it in Jamar Chase
is an actual game changer. The issue I have more
than anything Rob is they could have done this years ago,
specifically with T.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Higgins.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
They franchise them, They're gonna franchise them this year again
would have been the second year. And then obviously they've
worked on a deal here, but they could have done
this in advance. And to me or you say, we
ain't letting Jamar go anywhere, the connection between him and
Joel is top notch in the NFL. So we're nowhere
signing him for a longer deal. Then let's trade teagans.
Let's sign them and trade them. Let's get what we
(25:04):
can get out of them, so we can't secure some defense.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
So to me, they had earlier options.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
It was to either get a deal done a year
or two ago so that they can pay him less. You know,
maybe it was twenty million, then maybe twenty willion and
save a few extra millions on the back end, and
you have a longer deal, you're good to go, or
like I said, you sign and trade him to get
some the defensive guys, because one of the things that
you just mentioned. Look, you ain't got to be the
Baltimore Ravens or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in O
(25:31):
three to as far as defense, but you can't be
twenty fifth and average points per game that you allowed,
you can't be twenty fifth in total yards per game.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
That's not gonna cut it.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And we saw that last year when you had Joe
Burrow playing some of the best football of his life
and in accounting for nothing. And so they gave up
a bunch of rushing yards. They were nineteenth there, they
gave up passing yards, they were twenty first there. And
by the way, their best defensive player he ain't there
no more.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
So I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I guess they figured we put up seventy two points,
maybe who will beat you.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Hopefully you don't give up seventy three.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
And here's the other thing that will tell you all
you need to know. Joe Burrow had an unbelievable offensive
year at quarterback. Yeah, and got no first place votes
in the MVP. And that's because his defense couldn't win
stop people to win some games, you know what I mean.
It affects everything. So the idea of having this offense
and thinking you're just gonna outscore everybody doesn't make any sense.
(26:32):
And I get it. You have to really starve wide receivers.
You got to figure it out. Maybe you can't keep both,
you know, like sometimes you can, and you need to
find somebody else and add some defense. That's all I'm saying.
I'm not mad at the guys getting paid. They deserve it.
It just seems weird for Cincinnati, Like that doesn't seem
like a winning proposition to me. It just doesn't win.
(26:54):
Three players, yeah, take up so much of the cap space.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I think it's fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
If I'm not mistaken, fifty percent of the cap is
gonna be to those three players. Again, heck of a
three players, right, put fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
And again I just.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Reiterate my point that you had a chance to take
care of earlier. And one of the things good franchises
du rob their fortune tellers, right, they have great foresight.
They say, hmm, Joe Burrow is incredible. We know he's
gonna be our guy. Hopefully forever. The whole tenure of
his career. Duration of his career, Jamar Chase is incredible,
(27:27):
has been from the jump. And you know who else
has been really daggone good the whole time he's been
in the league.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Te Higgins. So why don't we sign him early? Okay? Cool?
Why don't we give him a deal? Earth?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Okay, you know what, We're not gonna pay all three
of these guys, So let's sign him and get some
defensive guys around here. Let's tighten up this offensive line.
By the way, that's one of the things that wasn't
that great. They just Joe Burrow was able to make
it look better than he was. So there are the
few options that they had. And again, this is why
the franchise has been one of the more poorer RAN
franchises in the last thirty years is because of moves
(27:59):
like this.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
You gotta see what's coming.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
It's a mom rt hop store, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
No, but you ain't got to be a bad moment.
Some of our favorite restaurants are mom and pops. Right,
some of your favorite places to go get nice boutique
clothes or shoes are Mom and Pops. Just because his
mom and pops don't mean that to be run wrong
or incorrectly.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, I'm just saying like they don't have enough help,
they don't have enough foresight. You know, it's it's it's
run by Mike Brown.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Is miss Cleo still with us, rob Gy? They better
go call it MIT's Cleo? Hey, what do we need
to do? What's happened in the future something?
Speaker 5 (28:31):
My goodness, Well, guys, what makes this even worse? And
you mentioned any other defense is bad? Trey Hendrickson may
or may not be back right now the way that
the free agency will see. But to your point, their
defense was bottom ten in yards, bottom ten in points allowed.
Here's the thing that makes it even worse if you
really want to dive deep into the numbers. Even with that,
(28:54):
they were top ten in takeaways. As you guys know, historically,
save for you know, maybe the Steelers in the Ravens,
takeaways are very fluky. Yes, year to year, you cannot
always count on to turn the football over. So let's
say they regress to the middle of the pack. You
mean to tell me that they're gonna go from twenty
five points a game defensively down to twenty one or
(29:16):
is it gonna go out from twenty five to twenty
eight Angels.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Here's that's how real it is. Steve has some breaking
news right there.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Right, So, like, if that's the case, if they become
a normal average takeaway team, that number points per game
and yards per game is only gonna get worse.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Well, rob okay, here, now, let me play them in
this scenario.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You're saying, Roggie, let's say you're right, and they even
would concede that point. What they're gonna say is, well,
we're not gonna be that bad defensively again.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Well we just missed a few plays last year.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
If there are a couple of flu I'm just that's
what they're gonna get, you know, try to convince themselves
of hey, what are it. Just like you said, we're
gonna regrets to the means of turnovers, Well, we're gonna
regrets to the mean means of giving up you know,
points allowed yards alive.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
We won't be that the bottom, We'll be in the
middle of the pack.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
That's what I heard when I heard from the Lions
for twenty years, when I covered all the games.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Man, listen, man, if you don't stop going back to
you I'm just I'm just bringing her up. Don't nobody
want to hear about your bringing up your X all
the time in a negative?
Speaker 3 (30:18):
But that's what I always heard, is the same.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Well, guess what you're about to hear what I used
to hear.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh yeah, you're just a Louisiana rub, Rob Louisiana Rub.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Be very just.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You're gonna be so disappointed like this will be and
then you'll finally be like, you know what the window
did close?
Speaker 4 (30:35):
I'm wrong, window. I can't even believe you, Robgi what
you tell this man?
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I want Louisiana Rub and then the other half I
want the uh Korean barbecue.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
So I'm gonna get.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I'm gonna get eight and eight Louisiana Rub and Korean
barbecue and I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
And their fries are bombed too, by the way, Robbie,
you wh me on that?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Are you gonna mix that into the bed too? Like, hey,
I got to get a sign of from Wing's.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Gotta come with it right, I mean that part of
the deal. I assume it's a meal. No, I'll take
the ten.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Piece, no fries, no drinks. Well, I want you to
be depends on how far we're taking the diet thing.
You know what I mean. If it's well, we got
to the fall, we got like I'm gonna die to
the fall.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yes, it's the winner. Actually got to wait to the postseason.
Speaker 3 (31:16):

No, I do go below one seventy I'm I'm gonna
make it. We're gonna have an intervention.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And I'm not believing anything. I'm not eating stuff and throwing.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Out no, but I'm saying, if you go up below
one seventy.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Seventy five, seventy five A right, all right, all.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Welcome to Shekel City, the whole base for Rob Parker's
day Dicks against the sprat.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
All.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Right, here we go a little Shekel City. One and
two last night the total is sixty six and sixty seven.
We can bounce back. We're going with the Denver Nuggets
minus fourteen and a half in Denver taking on the Lakers.
The Lakers are without like nine or ten people. I
don't know how many people are not missing. Yeah, they
(33:53):
gave me a said I might need to come up
the bench smush Parker playing tonight. I'm just trying to
figure this out. I mean, it's that bad, uh, minus
fourteen and a half. I believe Denver wins by twenty one.
That's just where I'm at. Okay, San Antonio Spurs minus
two and a half taking on the Hornets in San
Antonio and Memphis plus two and a half. I know
(34:17):
Cleveland has a what are they going? They got sixteen
game winning streak, fifteen fifteen, going for sixteen, which would
be their franchise record. They don't get there. I'm gonna
say Memphis plus two and a half. So again, Memphis
plus two and a half, the Spurs minus two and
a half, and the Denver Nuggets Chicken Nuggets minus fourteen
and a half. And remember, Calvin, I'm not telling you
(34:40):
who'd have bet on. I'm telling you who I better.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah, that's just you know, it's we talked about a
little bit, man, but Cleveland has just been like they
are really really good.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Again. We'll we talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
We'll have to wait and see what they end up
doing ultimately in the playoffs. But man, it's I mean,
they've beaten teams without Donovant Mitchell with I think they're
like five or six and oh without Donovan Mitchell's, Oh.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
They're really good. And Kenny Adkington can coach.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
We know that for sure, for sure, without a doubt. Hey,
you had thoughts.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
So'mles Garrett, who put out a little more statement after
he's got this new deal with the Browns.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I just think, I mean, you can say whatever you want,
and he's still thinking about winning. And it wasn't about money.
It just why why continue to keep saying all this stuff?
None of it makes any sense to me. If you
wanted to pay raise, you should say I didn't have
any more guaranteed money, and I want a new deal,
and where's my deal if I want to stay here?
(35:36):
I don't think anybody would be mad at that. Instead,
he went another route, bad mouthed the Browns in the
organization right all over Super Bowl radio row, and then
put out a statement that he wanted to win and
he couldn't win there, and all of a sudden, by
him signing the biggest contract for a non quarterback, now
(35:57):
he's winning. He just said, you couldn't win there. They
didn't add anybody, right, Like, none of it makes sense
to people who interviewed him. I would say, how you
said that you couldn't win, right? And now I'm asking
you what changed other than your bank account. They didn't
add anybody, They didn't get too all pros overnight, Like
(36:18):
what really in that division?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
What what's changed? Come on missing it? You missing it?
He ain't saying he was gonna win on the field.
He said he was winning at the bank. Now that's
what he said. He said, it's a winning it's a
winning happening. Oh, that's what he was talking about, right.
You know what he was talking about, Rob You know
he's a minority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was
talking about their winning. Now that's what he's saying. He
want to talk about the Browns winning.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
No, I mean, listen, you know I said this whenever
we talked about it. Earlier in the week.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
They made him an all free camp if he couldn't
refuse on some godfather stuff. Because I do think in
his mind, I've had enough, I'm ready to go win.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
I want to go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
But when they came back with those kind of dollars,
as we just mentioned prior to Jamar chasing this whole
deal with the Bengals, this y'all works out him being
the highest paid down quarterback. I think that makes you
pump on them anti lock bricks, hold on.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
But that but that that doesn't make sense if you're
serious about winning. We've seen players take less money to
go to winning situations. So all I'm saying to you
is I get it, and the money and all that
but no, but that wasn't what it was about. It
was that he didn't have any more guaranteed money and
he shouldn't have played the people of Cleveland and you
(37:28):
don't have to do that publicly in order to get paid.
He's so good. No matter where he went, he would
have gotten paid. I'm sorry, it's interesting. He would have
gotten paid. He's that good.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
Oh no, he was gonna get paid. It might not
have been years.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
So he had the highest paid for one week. What
does that mean?
Speaker 4 (37:47):
One week?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I don't think the title as much as what it meant.
But quick, I mean, shoot, interesting report. We don't have
time to get into it now. But the athletics Jason
Lloyd talked about in his column today, how as well
known within that building that Garrett frequently, he's laid all
the time, he skips mandatory meeting.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Still gave him the money anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
So that was interesting colonization. Yeah, I was kind of
blown away. I thought just by and this is you know,
obviously that's not being there. I thought he was the leader,
one of the guys that could depend on. No, I
guess I was wrong. But he's going to the bis
egg
