Please don't say that, Sorry, talk some NFL. She see
at CBS NFL reporter do that. Then we got last
call coming up as well, So we got this hour
packed a whole lot.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
To get to, no doubt. But as you know, today
is Jackie Robinson Days. Rampril fifteenth, nineteen forty seven is
when he broke the color barrier and it changed America
forever in a good way. And today Major League Baseball
celebrates Jackie Robinson. Look at the catcher has a forty
(01:59):
two on the chest, on the chest protector. Every player
in Major League Baseball's wearing number forty two. No player
has ever impacted a sport to where this would be
the case. You can't come up with anything else where
somebody was that important to a sport, to a country,
(02:19):
or and Jackie Robinson is that man.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
And what he endured he died very young. You know
the stress that he was under.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I did the whole thing on that for LA Times,
right Today's show that I do and it was actually
sad how he kind of went out, and a lot
of it was what you said. A lot of what
he endured. He didn't trust a lot of folks and
pressure all. Sure, he got a little got a little
rough towards the end, but yeah, but just what he meant,
what he stood for. Credit to the Dodgers for never
(02:47):
letting his legacy die or kind of just be something
on the wayside. A little quick note like they're wrapped
in it. They are all entrenched in it. And I
love that for you know, for the organization, for him,
for the family that show right now, if you look
right now, they're showing all the legacy of the African
American players that have come after him. You see Ricky Henderson,
you saw Tony Gwynn, k Kank King, Griffy Junior, Barry
(03:09):
Bonds is showing a bunch of Derek Jeter right now,
a Judg JEP. They're showing them all because of Jackie
and Kinn. We imagine imagine not having these players. Imagine sports.
Right now we're watching on the other TV Orlando and
Atlanta play and the playing and just imagine if we
didn't have, you know, African Americans. Now, of course you
can have Koreans, you can have Latino. Do you have
(03:29):
anybody in any league if they play.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Good enough, they can play, no doubt. But but we
wanted to and we want you to get involved in this.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
So so.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
It is the question to you, Kelvin, and I want
you to is Jackie Robinson in the class of his own?
And we know what Muhammad Ali meant to people, not
only in this country but around the world. He was
a international a figure for sure where you know he
(04:03):
stood for certain things. People looked to him for strength
and guidance, like he was more than just a boxer.
And the guy would with a sharp tongue and could
rhyme and rap or whatever you want to cold rhyme.
I guess is whatever you know what I mean, Like
you think of that and more than just of course
the rope of dope or the end of his career
when he was not the same guy. But you got
(04:25):
to remember, here was a guy. And I always think
that this is the part when I think of Muhammad Ali,
who was basically a draft dodger.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
He did not want to go to war and refused
to go to war, gave up his heavyweight title right
through the metal right in the h in the river
yep and wound up.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Lighting the torch for the United States in the Olympics.
Just think about those two things. If you would have
told somebody back then.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And then.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
See him later on life, would that be the case.
Nobody would have ever imagined that. Remember when he changed
his name from Luets from mom Cashier's clay to Muhammad Ali.
There was some sports CAUs who wouldn't even call him,
refused to call him Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So there's a handful of people I put in this
group of just pioneers, and what they endured, endured, what
they went through, what they meant. Obviously they're they're great
accolades and their talent and their skill. I look at that.
Just to continue with Muhammad Ali, I think what makes
him so endearing is that he gave it all up
(05:37):
right at his prime too, and he went to jail,
went to prison for a company, and there was no
there was no.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
For sure that he was going to come back, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He couldn't fight for a couple two three years, lost
his titles, lost money and this ain't the day and
age now wor okay, I got to three hundred million
in the bank.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I can go sit down for a couple of years.
I'll be back.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
This is not that. What he was dealing with, death threats,
people questioning his faith is religion, I mean, and for
him to just speak truth to power regularly on talk
shows and in news conferences and while he's in the ring,
I mean, just he and to do it forever. What
he meant, the joy that he brought people in his
(06:16):
latter years. Muhammad Ali might. I mean, I don't want
to rank these people in the sense that they did
amazing things, but he might. He might be the one
to me right there when you talk about League of
his own, maybe it's he and Jackie Robinson, because it's
just what they went through. And you hear the stories
about what Jackie Robinson went to. You hear the stories
about I went through. Another one in the mix, Bill Russell.
(06:37):
If you Bill Russell said I love the Celtics, I don't.
I don't mess with Boston, the city because of all
that he went through, death threats, coming home house broken
in a smeared feces all over his bed, his family,
I mean regularly.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, it wasn't playable, it was not pleasant.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
He to his dying day. Was not a fan of
the city of Boston. And if you you know, I'm
watching that Celtic city and not can you get over
with that? But they're stalling them and they're not doing
the drop it all at once, They're doing it every week. Okay,
so then that last one is next Monday. But Bill
Russell to me, is in that category till his death
stood for something, talked about things, was there for people
(07:17):
wanted everybody to understand the truths and where we should be,
where we're we can improvements we need. Bill Russell, Ali,
Jackie Robinson. As far as sports figures, those are kind
of the three that I look up to. Uh and
then that not alone. There are other but those three.
You got Billy Jean King, which she stood for over
the years, really bolstering women's sports, equality in women's sports,
(07:38):
and so many different things. Billy Jean King is up
there as well if you want to think about some
more people. But I just love what I love that
they went beyond themselves to the point where it could
have been detrimental to literally their health, their wealth, their
well being and in her cost them. You know, they're
they're they're playing ability and I'll forever being in it
(08:00):
to folks like that for what they've done.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, I'm with you eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
We want to throw it out to you and we
want more names or somebody or is it Jackie? And
then other people and Muhammad Ali is you're right, probably
the closest we know about Bill Russell.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
We know the stuff where he stood.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Some people might talk about Kareem Abdul Jabali. I mean
you could put him there, Jim Brown back in those days,
Jim Brown. And you know, if I'm ana throw out
one now because I think recent like we don't like
to do things give somebody the credit because it's how
recent it is. But I do wonder if ten years fifty,
because you brought up a great point two people always
remind people were hated Martin Luther King was hated by
(08:45):
this country, hated now celebrated. Mahamadli hated at the time
from a lot of people celebrated. And I wonder if
Colin Kaepernick not to their level. I don't want to
do that, but at some point might be more revered
as we get further away from it. When people kind
of say they see what he really did, and what
he was talking about and what he meant. I don't Again,
(09:07):
I'm not saying he's our league or Jackie Robinson, but
I'm saying and he's continued the work. He's continued to
have the boots on the ground and really try to
uplift the community. I mean, regularly you just don't hear
about all the time, but if you keep up with
what he's doing, he's really about that life.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yeah, we definitely want to hear from you. I know
we're missing somebody and then you're out there and you're saying, well,
what about this person or that person? And I'm glad
you're also throwing Billy g and King absolutely and what
she stood.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
For and what name still does. She's still out there
putting in a lot of work. Eight seven frames on
She's gonna have some cool frames zone because we because
she was at the USC Edinburgh graduation. I was out there,
Oh not yeah, she was all think I think I

work all the time.

nineteen forty seven, he broke the racial barrier in MLB
and really changed the game of sports in really American society.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, in this country.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So we're just honoring kind of those folks who are
in the same elk, same types of folk. We've named
a Lee, we named Billy gene King, we named Bill Russell,
we named even Colin Kaepernick more recent Who do you
have names out there? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox Who we gots in Texas? You're on the couple

Speaker 2 (12:02):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Joe?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Love your show, Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Listen to you guys for a long time coming home, especially.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You Rob, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
You know I was going to tell you about Jesse Owens.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Jesse Owens, there's another one.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Yeah, that was a tough time during that, you know
against Hitler and yeah, running that that Olympics.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
During that time, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You don't really imagine that you got the Hello was
in attendance. I know that was crazy. Like we sometimes
I think and thank you for the call, Joe. Sometimes
I think we give you know what I was because
we know what I was mad about. Seriously, when I
look at that part in history and I look at that,
why did the other athletes go when they wouldn't allow
the Jewish athletes from the United States to participate? Do
(12:51):
you know what I mean? Like we probably shouldn't have
gone at all. Well, I mean, I'm just but I
don't disagree. But I'm saying if you look at that
day and age, it was a going on crazy, it's
a crazy, wild time. Who had rights, who didn't have rights?
But Jewish athletes couldn't play Jewish athletes. I mean there's
a lot that was happening unfortunately in this in this world,
in this country, but let alone the world.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Then Randy in New Orleans joined the couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
What's up, Randy, Uncle rob and Calvin. How y'all doing, Man?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What's upod Man? How are you?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
I'm good.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Always good to hear from y'all. I thought y'all did
a great job when you talked about a Lea and
the LA great Jackie Robinson, How both of them had
such a profound impact. It's sort of like two separate ways,
if you will. Yeah, But I also love how I
li we got to remember how he was on top
of what was the biggest sport at the time, the
(13:45):
biggest athlete, and uh, he had the loudest voice, and
he said the things that needed to be said at
that time, and how you can always measure how profound
someone is is you fast forward sixty seven years later
and those words it still rain truth. So I just
think Ali was awesome, And I, you know, don't want
to get into compare no, no, no, right.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, but I just thought that because no one, we're
not going to sit here and try to diminish Jackie Robbins.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Right, But I love the way that you guys articulated that.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
I appreciate you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Thank you Randy appreciate it. We talked about this. We
were like, we want to do something different.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
You know, we can talk about baseball and all the stuff,
but no, Jackie Robinson is way bigger than just that.
And and you even brought it up earlier about the
Dodgers and they're embracing of the man and baseball all
the team.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It isn't just like a, oh yeah, don't forget what
we want to do on that day. It's like a
it's if you keep up with the Dodgers. They truly
truly honored the man and the family and as they
show his family right now, as you know kids when
they were younger, and his wife, and his wife is
still with us, still bright and beautiful and she's over
one hundred years what's she one hundred and two? Beautiful,
still looks great. Paul and Oregon, you're on the odd
(14:59):
couple of Fox Which Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Paul? Hi?
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Arthur Ash?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, I was gonna bring him up. Okay, yeah, great one.
Why so why for you to talk about author?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Well, you know, I mean tennis is kind of a
country club, you know, I mean that would have been
a hard, hard environment, especially during that.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
During that time, like golf and tennis, that just wasn't
a place that black people were invited or seen that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You know what's crazy? Thank you for the call, Paul.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Thinking about Arthur, I kind of thought I didn't want
to name al the names because I have a whole
list of people. But I was like, you don't want
to make sure folks get involved in this. But going
back to what you just mentioned about golf, rob the
Masters and you know this too didn't open up the
doors till like nineteen eighty nine to black people. No,
did you hear what I just said to you nineteen
eighty nine, you know, not eighteen eighty nine, nineteen eight. Dude.
(15:59):
Sometimes I think when we have these uncomfortable conversations, people
want to put it as if things were six hundred
years ago, one hundred and fifty two hundred years dude,
I know what you.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Said that that's crazy. But here's the thing. I was
on MLB Network today right had a hit with Brian
Kenny MLB Now look good?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Was it a gray Little Fitters?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, black shirt.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But I was talking to Brian Kenny and I was
bringing up I'm a proud card carrying member of the
BBWAAA the Baseball Writers Association of America. I am and
the reason I am when I look in their history.
The first black writer who was allowed to be in
(16:39):
the BBWAA was a guy named Wendell Smith from Chicago.
He got in in nineteen forty seven. That's when his
thing was approved. You just talked about nineteen eighty nine.
This is a new organization that was all white in
nineteen forty seven approved his credentials so that he could
start being a BBWAA member. And then even when Jackie
(17:01):
Robinson think about.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
This, when he was Rookie of the Year, all the
writers were white and they voted for a black guy
to be the National League Rookie of the Year in
nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Those are some really when you start to think.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
About what did that time was for sure, because that's
twenty years before civil rights. Think about and I mean
and Martin Luther King mentioned that about Jackie, He said,
you helped prepel where I am now what we're trying
to do because of what you did for baseball, you
playing and being part of that, it opens people's eyes up.
I guess maybe I can work with somebody of a
(17:36):
different race or root for somebody different races exactly, and
especially the route part he got on the Brooklyn Dodger uniform.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What do you mean? I want him to get it
hit right right.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And those small things too are important, especially when you
start talking about kids, because it opens them up to
like things early. The worst part about it is then
we put all our bad stuff on kids. Kids don't
come out. Racists don't come out. They don't know any
of that. My daughters play with any and everybody, uh
you know it on them. That video of the two
boys running towards each other, black and white, that is
(18:07):
that's literally what life is supposed to be. Am I right,
They're just two little boys, a little misty, no, but
you that that video is unbelieved so happy to see
each We're talking about two maybe three year old boys and.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They're like down the block from each other.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
They're like, oh and they see you. They just like
they just embrace its beautiful man, that's what it's supposed
to be. Seriously, Johnny and Wisconsin. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Johnny, how.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
Are you guys?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I was gonna say, Jesse Owens, but maybe you can
give me a history lesson who was the athlete that
put his fist up in the air.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Tommy Smith, thank you, yes uh. In the Olympics nineteen
sixty eight, they were sent home.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
It was a controversy, but at the time the plight
of the black man, what was going on in the country,
and they felt that they had to bring attention to it.
Without that I was going to bring them up to
that's John Carlson, Tommy Smith, and the whole the premise was,
you know, they were trying to figure out what they
could do, so they had on the gloves and they
threw up the you know, the black power fist and uh.
(19:09):
And obviously they got so much hate from it, and
but it's an iconic shot. And that was that whole
sixty eight nineteen sixty eight Olympics. You had a lot
of people. People boycotted them, some people didn't go, some
people were gonna go. I think Kareem boycotted. I think
it was little ill center then. But it was a
big deal and there was a turbulent time. And again
to the callers point there, sometimes people forget it becomes
(19:33):
a big deal later in the time. That is a
brave and heroic thing to do what a lot of
these folks did back then. All right, we got two more.
We're gonna just look the roll now. You know, Derek
in Houston, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Derek?
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Hey, what's up? Fellas?
Speaker 9 (19:48):
Joe?
Speaker 11 (19:49):
Thanks for taking my calls?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Thank you, sir?
Speaker 7 (19:51):
All right, I got too.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
Actually my first one, Rob, you'll appreciate this one. Former
World Series champion, what have you?
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Kurt?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yes, Oh yeah, kurk Flood a change up free agency,
not just in baseball but in all sports.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Without giving up his career and doing what he did,
we might not have it. They all give him credit
for yep, Kurt, Yep, kurk Flood.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
And then second one. We may not get a lot
of publicity for doing stuff, but Joe Lewis actually opened
up the open up the gates for folks, for black
folks to be able to play in golf tournaments the
San Diego opened back in the forties or whatever he was.
He had membership to the San Diego Country Club what
(20:34):
have you, and he made it possible for them to
be able to for black folks to be able to
start playing in tournaments.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Man's a great, great call.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Let's squeak twee.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, one more, Bubba and Reddick. What's happening, bub How
we doing, gentlemen, You're doing great?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
First time, long time man, Thank you, thank you, long time.
We appreciate that, my man. And you know, we can
have fun and we can have these real conversations. Tonight
was one of those real ones.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
Absolutely going back to Jackie, I mean Norcow Dad grew
up in La Dodgers lifer here and uh yeah, just
growing up knowing that the history of of what that
organization did, like it never phasing like you guys were saying,
I don't know. You can be whatever you are, Like
(21:30):
I love whoever you are. You can be whatever you are.
It's great. So I take pride in this day as
a Dodger fan in particular. And then so sticking on baseball,
I was gonna say, Bob Gibson.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Bobys Yeah, legendary.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
And you know what the other thing too is I
want to say this too, Buba, is this is why
sports is such a big part of this society because
when you go to a game or situation, you don't
have to know anybody who they are, their economic standing,
you know, or they afford or against the boy. You
know what I mean, Like like you come together and
(22:10):
you see people as one. It's incredible, Swarts. That's why
it is such a big deal.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That's the bad part is that we leave and then
we go back into that for two and a half hours.
We high five to anybody, cheer with everybody. I might
have bought the whole row of beer. It's all good. Yeah,
I got carried away bad. I got a little crazy
on that one.

twenty three left in the second quarter, but after three quarters,
we've suddenly got a ballgame. It's Orlando seventy nine Atlanta
seventy three, as the Hawks outscored the Magic twenty six
to eighteen in the third quarter and Trey Young after

at four hundred and forty five feet. The Arizona Diamondbacks
what at Miami ten to four. Corby and Carrol a
grand slam, Heraldo Perdomo a three run home run. The
(23:45):
Philadelphia Phillies over the San Francisco Giants six to four.
Bryce Harper at two run home run, his third home
run of the season, the Yankees leading the Royals four

Dominguez of the Yankees a bases clearing three run double,

He now has a to lead the major leagues. They're

up nine to three against the White Sox in Chicago
in the bottom half of the sixth inning.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Find the guys.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
I was just able to track down this piece of audio.
This is a speech from Jackie Robinson before Game two
of the nineteen seventy two World Series. I'm gonna play
a quick clip of it for you, real quick.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Here.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
It was between the A's and the Reds at Old
Riverfront Stadium. And what I think is particularly poignant about
this piece of audio he made this speech nine days
before passing away. Listen, this is Jackie Robinson in nineteen
seventy two.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
I'm extremely proud and pleased to be here this afternoon,
but must admit I'm gonna be tremendously more pleased and
more proud.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Well, I look at that third base.
Speaker 10 (24:54):
Coaching line one day and see a black face managing
in baseball. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
To his death standing up nine days, nine days.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And you remember back in those days, the managers were
in the coaches box at third base.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, you know, right, you know you know what he meant.
All right, have a great night, a night, thanks for that. Yeah,
all right, we are Yeah, without a doubt. Man, we're coming.
He live from the Tireck dot Com students. I enjoyed
that conversation and thank you for having that with Rob
and it's amazing we were able to do that. We're
joined now. Bye, CBS NFL reporter Addi kik Kuwala. She's
(25:31):
joining us and we got some great conversation to be
had because there's a bunch going on between the NFL
and obviously the draft here is kicking off a week
from this Thursday. Aditi, thanks for joining it.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Thank you for having me. It's a little bit past
my bedtime, but I'm staying up just for you guys.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yes, you're not going to keep you long.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
We will not trust me. I get it. It's earlier
here on the West, but I got to get up
at three forty five and do a news morning news show,
so trust me. I get it.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Seriously, you're handle at both ends. I think nap in
the middle of the day. I have to.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I didn't get a good one in today, and I'm
disappointed and I feel it, but yeah, it's a mandatory
thing I have to otherwise I won't survive doing these
two shows.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
A Jalen Ramsey that you didn't have where.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You like, thank you Janel jays about that.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well, Stin just started there, go ahead and go there. Uh,
they're looking at trade and the Star cornerback dB. Jalen Ramsey,
who was had a heck of a career but all
of a sudden starting to you know, pop up on
several different teams. What did you make of that when
you saw that news?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Well, I think it's interesting that Chris curR says they're
not rebuilding, that this isn't about hitting reset that, you know.
I think we're seeing more and more teams wise up
to the fact that they want pull Mike Tomlins. They
want volunteers, not hostages, and so if a player doesn't
want to be there, why do they want him there.
I mean, it's what John Schneider said about DK metcalf right.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, that is true.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And I remember Pat Roley once said when he was
with the Knicks, either you're in or you're out. And
if you don't you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean,
what do we do We got to convince you? That
just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
Greed and I think so much more at this point
is the ecosystem of the locker room and how those
people are working together. And if you've got someone that's
not really all in, then what's the point, right Why
keep battling the convince that person to be a better
teammate or a better leader, or be more into what
the collective effort is. What do we move on and
(27:29):
get what you can get?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So, Door Sanders, where is he going to be drafted?
You got any feel for that?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
You know?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
I honestly really don't, because I'll tell you there was
quite a lot of chatter after the combine from a
lot of NFL people that I spoke to that were
sort of quick to worry about the negatives, about the size,
about the mobility, about how he presented on the board
(27:58):
and their meetings. And then there is obviously this immediate
backlash that if you're not being judged fairly, because we
have to all acknowledge and recognize that if you're raised
this Dion Sun, you're not necessarily the same as if
you're raised as my father's daughter. Okay, fine, But now
in the last week or two we've seen again a
(28:20):
fair amount of buzz and I think that whatever is
going on with Derek Carr also sort of increases this idea. Look,
there's always going to be a desperation or an elevation
when it comes to quarterbacks. You know, quarterbacks will always
be sort of drafted. It's easy for a team to
(28:43):
say best available player outside of the quarterback position. So
if there is a run on quarterbacks, if there is,
you know, this hunger and this fear, I mean, I
don't know. I don't think it's out of I don't
know where he lands. I don't know where I really, honestly,
truly don't know where he lands. And I think that
(29:04):
that's part of the fun.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Of all of this, all right.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
I don't think he goes to the Browns. I don't
think he goes to the Giants. But that's just that's
not that's not solid sound reporting. That's more sort of
just a feel leave from the conversations that I'm happening.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
DD Kinkawala is our guest CBS NFL reporter who is saying, hurr, y'all,
hurry up so I can get to bed. Let me
let me, let me go.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Here.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
You got Travis Hunter, who Rob and I are both
fans of in the sense of give him a shot.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Let me we want to see him play both sides
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
At least he came out and said, I don't want
to play if a team is going to tell me no.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
And now I think it's just postering, like he's gonna quit.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But what do you make of that? And and do
you think teams are maybe more open to it over
the last especially watching him as a receiver on his
pro day at all.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
You know, it's so funny. I'm I'm actually really curious
about that because I got to spend a little bit
of time with him at the combine and he was
so laid back about it.
Speaker 9 (30:07):
I mean I.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
Pressed him every which way and he literally would not
say which position he likes more. He swore to me
that he was not going to advocate to play for
one position over the other. And he also said it
didn't really matter to him when he was assessing the
prospects of being with a team whether that team viewed
(30:28):
him as a wide receiver first or a dB first.
He was so, you know, like shrugging his shoulders. However
they view me, that's their decision and that's what it is.
And so these feel like much stronger words, and so
I mean, I'll be honest with you. I'm excited to
get out in Green Bay next week and ask him
about it.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, we're all he's waiting to see. I mean, he's
a spectacular talent. Everybody keeps saying he's one of one
and a generational talent. So we'll see if they let him,
let him fly, you know, let him do what he wants. Dann,
thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yes, for sure, was fast.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You know what we're gonna do.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
I was expecting Aaron Rodgers My goodness.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
No, well, no, no, it'll be a whole here.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Yeah, we well, we talk about all the time. I'm
assuming he's going to go to Pittsburgh or no, do
you have something different than that.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
It's taking a long time, isn't it. Don't you feel
as if he was really eager to get there, he
would get there, And if the Steelers were really interested
in addressing certain deficiencies in the leadership component of their offense,
wouldn't they feel really really motivated to want him in there.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I mean, I still think it could happen, because it's easy.
He could just say that he's you could just say
I'm done, and that boy.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
He's milking this thing.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
That's all right. Good he's been milking is so long
that chocolate milk is coming out.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Is my goodness. He's somewhere, Brett favs somewhere, applaud in
the way he's been. And it's like, job well done.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
All right. H Parker in Minnesota you're in the odd

Speaker 2 (34:05):
You're the last call here on the couple.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Hello, fellas, how's it going?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
What's up Parker?
Speaker 11 (34:14):
Not much?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
I don't know what the topic is. But I'm from Minnesota.
Obviously I'm a Wolf fan, and obviously because I'm a
Minnesota sports fan. Uh, they're gonna win this year. This
is the year that we're gonna win our championship. But
what do you guys think? I know we're facing the
Lakers first round. They're looking pretty good. Wish we could
have been facing the Nuggets, but that's whatever. How far
(34:36):
do you guys think we're going? What do you what
do you think it looks like?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Last year? They upset the Nuggets, so maybe don't upset
the Lakers this year.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I know.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
It's just yeah, that's not crazy. They've been playing very
well the last uh a month and a half or so.
They've been playing and Anthony Edwards has been playing out
of his mind too, so they've gotten better. I think
they're like fifteen and three or something crazier. I gotta
check it exactly, but they've been playing really good lately.
I was underwheld by them throughout two thirds of the
season though they thankfully they got it together lately, but
(35:04):
I wanted more for that. I was very high on
them early on. But uh, we'll see. That's what playoffs was.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Another one, who we got Chaplain Maddie, All right, let
me let me in Denver.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
You're in the couple five. That's right, you're the last call.
What's up?
Speaker 9 (35:19):
Happy Easter? It was then up on high gentlemen, thank
you for taking my call. I really honest the goodness.
For years thought this was a tape delayed show. So
I guess I can officially say a long time first time.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I don't know we are all the way loud.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I would maybe being at home, Chaplain.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
I checked, I checked you, I checked you guys out
on the nightly. I'll I'll get in the rotation. First
of all, God bless Jackie Robinson, sut doubt just but
two gentlemen that I wanted to mention, being a longtime
Nugget fan, by the way, the last caller, and you're
on anyway, I think we go. We got a Serbia
cat is gonna have something to say about all that.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, But but.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Chris Jackson, the man, I mean, I was a younger.
Cat didn't really understand young in my twenties, but now
I certainly understand. I get it. So I have to
tip my cap to that gentleman. The the other one,
and this is going to come away out of left field.
A guy named Nosen Katri. He's with the Flames now,
(36:23):
a man of Muslim faith from Toronto. In the last
cup run that the ABS made, you know, one of
them in Saint Louis. You know, they just decided to
start throwing death threats at his kids and stuff.
Speaker 7 (36:35):
Terrible, you know, and you know what, and he's without
that cat.
Speaker 9 (36:41):
The Abs don't win that Stanley Cup.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
They just don't.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
The guy that the guy played with broken bones man
and had to worry about his family. I mean, now
you had to escort his family to him from hockey games.
That's come on, man, we are more sophisticated than that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
But well, we appreciate that.
Speaker 9 (36:59):
You'll be here, will be hearing from me again, gentlemen,
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I have a great good Fridy in East too. I
will with my family. Thank you so much. Hey Kurt
in North Dakota, you're the last call a question mark, Rob.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
Love you guys, man, I love your show off right
right after I Jackie Robinson broke the barrier in the
National ring. Roy Campanella broke the barrier for the American
Association when he started playing for the Sat. Paul Saints
and they were a farm cup of the Dodgers, and
before the Twins showed up, there's all kinds of Dodger
fans in the Twin Cities. But anyways, Jory Campanella was
a great, great catcher. And uh, when the Dodgers and
(37:34):
the Yankees are battle and then the fifties, uh, Roy
Campanella and Yogi Bear, I mean they were the two
you know, and unfortunately had a tragic accident. Yeah, big
love out, big love out to Roy Campanell, Big love
out to you too, because man, I can feel the
love coming from the show and there's nothing else just
you guys.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Man.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
So God bless you too.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
God bless you too, Kurt, And I want to show
what I'd shared with you off there about Oh yeah,
Rachel Robinson and Yogi era right, And of course Jackie
Robinson stole home on Yogi Bearer.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Yogi always contended that he was out and he wasn't
He didn't home, and so whenever Rachel and Yogi would
see each other for over sixty years, they wouldn't say,
like the first thing they would say to each other
is Yogi would say out and Rachel would say safe.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I mean, I think that's all.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
That's a great story, man. You just you love to
hear those types of things. And again, that is why
sports are so important, man, especially for like playing it.
Because I've told you, watching so much, reading so many
books in history about sports, guys. I was taught this
one thing, thought this one thing. Then I got around.
I didn't know what it was like until I played
with such and such and was around these guys, and
(38:44):
I found out there's not that much different between us,
you know. I found out I loved their other culture.
They love my culture. We rocked, we bond together, we
fought together. That's why those things are so important. Man,
what a good show today. I was very happy with
today's show. Absolutely, Man.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
When you come back tomorrow and do it all over
again in the mornth.
Speaker 1 (39:00):

Of course, we're getting closer and closer to the draft.
No week for I got you a week from this Thursday,
it would be Addi kink Harba Walla. It's gonna be
joining us.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Addi add Kinkawalla, yep, Addi Kinkawalla kinkawalla, kinkaballa.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Addi kinka walla. I used to get copies made at
that store and then the name was too She joins us,
Please don't say that, Sorry, talk some NFL. She see
at CBS NFL reporter do that. Then we got last
call coming up as well, So we got this hour
packed a whole lot.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
To get to, no doubt. But as you know, today
is Jackie Robinson Days. Rampril fifteenth, nineteen forty seven is
when he broke the color barrier and it changed America
forever in a good way. And today Major League Baseball
celebrates Jackie Robinson. Look at the catcher has a forty
(01:59):
two on the chest, on the chest protector. Every player
in Major League Baseball's wearing number forty two. No player
has ever impacted a sport to where this would be
the case. You can't come up with anything else where
somebody was that important to a sport, to a country,
(02:19):
or and Jackie Robinson is that man.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
And what he endured he died very young. You know
the stress that he was under.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I did the whole thing on that for LA Times,
right Today's show that I do and it was actually
sad how he kind of went out, and a lot
of it was what you said. A lot of what
he endured. He didn't trust a lot of folks and
pressure all. Sure, he got a little got a little
rough towards the end, but yeah, but just what he meant,
what he stood for. Credit to the Dodgers for never
(02:47):
letting his legacy die or kind of just be something
on the wayside. A little quick note like they're wrapped
in it. They are all entrenched in it. And I
love that for you know, for the organization, for him,
for the family that show right now, if you look
right now, they're showing all the legacy of the African
American players that have come after him. You see Ricky Henderson,
you saw Tony Gwynn, k Kank King, Griffy Junior, Barry
(03:09):
Bonds is showing a bunch of Derek Jeter right now,
a Judg JEP. They're showing them all because of Jackie
and Kinn. We imagine imagine not having these players. Imagine sports.
Right now we're watching on the other TV Orlando and
Atlanta play and the playing and just imagine if we
didn't have, you know, African Americans. Now, of course you
can have Koreans, you can have Latino. Do you have
(03:29):
anybody in any league if they play.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Good enough, they can play, no doubt. But but we
wanted to and we want you to get involved in this.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
So so.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
It is the question to you, Kelvin, and I want
you to is Jackie Robinson in the class of his own?
And we know what Muhammad Ali meant to people, not
only in this country but around the world. He was
a international a figure for sure where you know he
(04:03):
stood for certain things. People looked to him for strength
and guidance, like he was more than just a boxer.
And the guy would with a sharp tongue and could
rhyme and rap or whatever you want to cold rhyme.
I guess is whatever you know what I mean, Like
you think of that and more than just of course
the rope of dope or the end of his career
when he was not the same guy. But you got
(04:25):
to remember, here was a guy. And I always think
that this is the part when I think of Muhammad Ali,
who was basically a draft dodger.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
He did not want to go to war and refused
to go to war, gave up his heavyweight title right
through the metal right in the h in the river
yep and wound up.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Lighting the torch for the United States in the Olympics.
Just think about those two things. If you would have
told somebody back then.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And then.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
See him later on life, would that be the case.
Nobody would have ever imagined that. Remember when he changed
his name from Luets from mom Cashier's clay to Muhammad Ali.
There was some sports CAUs who wouldn't even call him,
refused to call him Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So there's a handful of people I put in this
group of just pioneers, and what they endured, endured, what
they went through, what they meant. Obviously they're they're great
accolades and their talent and their skill. I look at that.
Just to continue with Muhammad Ali, I think what makes
him so endearing is that he gave it all up
(05:37):
right at his prime too, and he went to jail,
went to prison for a company, and there was no
there was no.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
For sure that he was going to come back, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
He couldn't fight for a couple two three years, lost
his titles, lost money and this ain't the day and
age now wor okay, I got to three hundred million
in the bank.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I can go sit down for a couple of years.
I'll be back.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
This is not that. What he was dealing with, death threats,
people questioning his faith is religion, I mean, and for
him to just speak truth to power regularly on talk
shows and in news conferences and while he's in the ring,
I mean, just he and to do it forever. What
he meant, the joy that he brought people in his
(06:16):
latter years. Muhammad Ali might. I mean, I don't want
to rank these people in the sense that they did
amazing things, but he might. He might be the one
to me right there when you talk about League of
his own, maybe it's he and Jackie Robinson, because it's
just what they went through. And you hear the stories
about what Jackie Robinson went to. You hear the stories
about I went through. Another one in the mix, Bill Russell.
(06:37):
If you Bill Russell said I love the Celtics, I don't.
I don't mess with Boston, the city because of all
that he went through, death threats, coming home house broken
in a smeared feces all over his bed, his family,
I mean regularly.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, it wasn't playable, it was not pleasant.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
He to his dying day. Was not a fan of
the city of Boston. And if you you know, I'm
watching that Celtic city and not can you get over
with that? But they're stalling them and they're not doing
the drop it all at once, They're doing it every week. Okay,
so then that last one is next Monday. But Bill
Russell to me, is in that category till his death
stood for something, talked about things, was there for people
(07:17):
wanted everybody to understand the truths and where we should be,
where we're we can improvements we need. Bill Russell, Ali,
Jackie Robinson. As far as sports figures, those are kind
of the three that I look up to. Uh and
then that not alone. There are other but those three.
You got Billy Jean King, which she stood for over
the years, really bolstering women's sports, equality in women's sports,
(07:38):
and so many different things. Billy Jean King is up
there as well if you want to think about some
more people. But I just love what I love that
they went beyond themselves to the point where it could
have been detrimental to literally their health, their wealth, their
well being and in her cost them. You know, they're
they're they're playing ability and I'll forever being in it
(08:00):
to folks like that for what they've done.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, I'm with you eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
We want to throw it out to you and we
want more names or somebody or is it Jackie? And
then other people and Muhammad Ali is you're right, probably
the closest we know about Bill Russell.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
We know the stuff where he stood.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Some people might talk about Kareem Abdul Jabali. I mean
you could put him there, Jim Brown back in those days,
Jim Brown. And you know, if I'm ana throw out
one now because I think recent like we don't like
to do things give somebody the credit because it's how
recent it is. But I do wonder if ten years fifty,
because you brought up a great point two people always
remind people were hated Martin Luther King was hated by
(08:45):
this country, hated now celebrated. Mahamadli hated at the time
from a lot of people celebrated. And I wonder if
Colin Kaepernick not to their level. I don't want to
do that, but at some point might be more revered
as we get further away from it. When people kind
of say they see what he really did, and what
he was talking about and what he meant. I don't Again,
(09:07):
I'm not saying he's our league or Jackie Robinson, but
I'm saying and he's continued the work. He's continued to
have the boots on the ground and really try to
uplift the community. I mean, regularly you just don't hear
about all the time, but if you keep up with
what he's doing, he's really about that life.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yeah, we definitely want to hear from you. I know
we're missing somebody and then you're out there and you're saying, well,
what about this person or that person? And I'm glad
you're also throwing Billy g and King absolutely and what
she stood.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
For and what name still does. She's still out there
putting in a lot of work. Eight seven frames on
She's gonna have some cool frames zone because we because
she was at the USC Edinburgh graduation. I was out there,
Oh not yeah, she was all think I think I

work all the time.

and really changed the game of sports in really American society.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, in this country.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So we're just honoring kind of those folks who are
in the same elk, same types of folk. We've named
a Lee, we named Billy gene King, we named Bill Russell,
we named even Colin Kaepernick more recent Who do you
have names out there? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox Who we gots in Texas? You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Joe?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Guys?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Love your show, Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Listen to you guys for a long time coming home, especially.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You Rob, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
You know I was going to tell you about Jesse Owens.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Jesse Owens, there's another one.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Yeah, that was a tough time during that, you know
against Hitler and yeah, running that that Olympics.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
During that time, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You don't really imagine that you got the Hello was
in attendance. I know that was crazy. Like we sometimes
I think and thank you for the call, Joe. Sometimes
I think we give you know what I was because
we know what I was mad about. Seriously, when I
look at that part in history and I look at that,
why did the other athletes go when they wouldn't allow
the Jewish athletes from the United States to participate? Do
(12:51):
you know what I mean? Like we probably shouldn't have
gone at all. Well, I mean, I'm just but I
don't disagree. But I'm saying if you look at that
day and age, it was a going on crazy, it's
a crazy, wild time. Who had rights, who didn't have rights?
But Jewish athletes couldn't play Jewish athletes. I mean there's
a lot that was happening unfortunately in this in this world,
in this country, but let alone the world.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Then Randy in New Orleans joined the couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
What's up, Randy, Uncle rob and Calvin. How y'all doing, Man?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What's upod Man? How are you?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
I'm good.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Always good to hear from y'all. I thought y'all did
a great job when you talked about a Lea and
the LA great Jackie Robinson, How both of them had
such a profound impact. It's sort of like two separate ways,
if you will. Yeah, But I also love how I
li we got to remember how he was on top
of what was the biggest sport at the time, the
(13:45):
biggest athlete, and uh, he had the loudest voice, and
he said the things that needed to be said at
that time, and how you can always measure how profound
someone is is you fast forward sixty seven years later
and those words it still rain truth. So I just
think Ali was awesome, And I, you know, don't want
to get into compare no, no, no, right.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Yeah, but I just thought that because no one, we're
not going to sit here and try to diminish Jackie Robbins.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Right, But I love the way that you guys articulated that.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
I appreciate you so much.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Thank you Randy appreciate it. We talked about this. We
were like, we want to do something different.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
You know, we can talk about baseball and all the stuff,
but no, Jackie Robinson is way bigger than just that.
And and you even brought it up earlier about the
Dodgers and they're embracing of the man and baseball all
the team.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It isn't just like a, oh yeah, don't forget what
we want to do on that day. It's like a
it's if you keep up with the Dodgers. They truly
truly honored the man and the family and as they
show his family right now, as you know kids when
they were younger, and his wife, and his wife is
still with us, still bright and beautiful and she's over
one hundred years what's she one hundred and two? Beautiful,
still looks great. Paul and Oregon, you're on the odd
(14:59):
couple of Fox Which Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Paul? Hi?
Speaker 9 (15:04):
Arthur Ash?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, I was gonna bring him up. Okay, yeah, great one.
Why so why for you to talk about author?
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Well, you know, I mean tennis is kind of a
country club, you know, I mean that would have been
a hard, hard environment, especially during that.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
During that time, like golf and tennis, that just wasn't
a place that black people were invited or seen that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You know what's crazy? Thank you for the call, Paul.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Thinking about Arthur, I kind of thought I didn't want
to name al the names because I have a whole
list of people. But I was like, you don't want
to make sure folks get involved in this. But going
back to what you just mentioned about golf, rob the
Masters and you know this too didn't open up the
doors till like nineteen eighty nine to black people. No,
did you hear what I just said to you nineteen
eighty nine, you know, not eighteen eighty nine, nineteen eight. Dude.
(15:59):
Sometimes I think when we have these uncomfortable conversations, people
want to put it as if things were six hundred
years ago, one hundred and fifty two hundred years dude,
I know what you.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Said that that's crazy. But here's the thing. I was
on MLB Network today right had a hit with Brian
Kenny MLB Now look good?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Was it a gray Little Fitters?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, black shirt.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
But I was talking to Brian Kenny and I was
bringing up I'm a proud card carrying member of the
BBWAAA the Baseball Writers Association of America. I am and
the reason I am when I look in their history.
The first black writer who was allowed to be in
(16:39):
the BBWAA was a guy named Wendell Smith from Chicago.
He got in in nineteen forty seven. That's when his
thing was approved. You just talked about nineteen eighty nine.
This is a new organization that was all white in
nineteen forty seven approved his credentials so that he could
start being a BBWAA member. And then even when Jackie
(17:01):
Robinson think about.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
This, when he was Rookie of the Year, all the
writers were white and they voted for a black guy
to be the National League Rookie of the Year in
nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Those are some really when you start to think.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
About what did that time was for sure, because that's
twenty years before civil rights. Think about and I mean
and Martin Luther King mentioned that about Jackie, He said,
you helped prepel where I am now what we're trying
to do because of what you did for baseball, you
playing and being part of that, it opens people's eyes up.
I guess maybe I can work with somebody of a
(17:36):
different race or root for somebody different races exactly, and
especially the route part he got on the Brooklyn Dodger uniform.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
What do you mean? I want him to get it
hit right right.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
And those small things too are important, especially when you
start talking about kids, because it opens them up to
like things early. The worst part about it is then
we put all our bad stuff on kids. Kids don't
come out. Racists don't come out. They don't know any
of that. My daughters play with any and everybody, uh
you know it on them. That video of the two
boys running towards each other, black and white, that is
(18:07):
that's literally what life is supposed to be. Am I right,
They're just two little boys, a little misty, no, but
you that that video is unbelieved so happy to see
each We're talking about two maybe three year old boys and.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They're like down the block from each other.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
They're like, oh and they see you. They just like
they just embrace its beautiful man, that's what it's supposed
to be. Seriously, Johnny and Wisconsin. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Johnny, how.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
Are you guys?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
I was gonna say, Jesse Owens, but maybe you can
give me a history lesson who was the athlete that
put his fist up in the air.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Tommy Smith, thank you, yes uh. In the Olympics nineteen
sixty eight, they were sent home.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
It was a controversy, but at the time the plight
of the black man, what was going on in the country,
and they felt that they had to bring attention to it.
Without that I was going to bring them up to
that's John Carlson, Tommy Smith, and the whole the premise was,
you know, they were trying to figure out what they
could do, so they had on the gloves and they
threw up the you know, the black power fist and uh.
(19:09):
And obviously they got so much hate from it, and
but it's an iconic shot. And that was that whole
sixty eight nineteen sixty eight Olympics. You had a lot
of people. People boycotted them, some people didn't go, some
people were gonna go. I think Kareem boycotted. I think
it was little ill center then. But it was a
big deal and there was a turbulent time. And again
to the callers point there, sometimes people forget it becomes
(19:33):
a big deal later in the time. That is a
brave and heroic thing to do what a lot of
these folks did back then. All right, we got two more.
We're gonna just look the roll now. You know, Derek
in Houston, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
What's up, Derek?
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Hey, what's up? Fellas?
Speaker 9 (19:48):
Joe?
Speaker 11 (19:49):
Thanks for taking my calls?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Thank you, sir?
Speaker 7 (19:51):
All right, I got too.
Speaker 11 (19:52):
Actually my first one, Rob, you'll appreciate this one. Former
World Series champion, what have you?
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Kurt?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yes, Oh yeah, kurk Flood a change up free agency,
not just in baseball but in all sports.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Without giving up his career and doing what he did,
we might not have it. They all give him credit
for yep, Kurt, Yep, kurk Flood.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
And then second one. We may not get a lot
of publicity for doing stuff, but Joe Lewis actually opened
up the open up the gates for folks, for black
folks to be able to play in golf tournaments the
San Diego opened back in the forties or whatever he was.
He had membership to the San Diego Country Club what
(20:34):
have you, and he made it possible for them to
be able to for black folks to be able to
start playing in tournaments.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Man's a great, great call.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Let's squeak twee.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, one more, Bubba and Reddick. What's happening, bub How
we doing, gentlemen, You're doing great?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
First time, long time man, Thank you, thank you, long time.
We appreciate that, my man. And you know, we can
have fun and we can have these real conversations. Tonight
was one of those real ones.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
Absolutely going back to Jackie, I mean Norcow Dad grew
up in La Dodgers lifer here and uh yeah, just
growing up knowing that the history of of what that
organization did, like it never phasing like you guys were saying,
I don't know. You can be whatever you are, Like
(21:30):
I love whoever you are. You can be whatever you are.
It's great. So I take pride in this day as
a Dodger fan in particular. And then so sticking on baseball,
I was gonna say, Bob Gibson.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Bobys Yeah, legendary.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
And you know what the other thing too is I
want to say this too, Buba, is this is why
sports is such a big part of this society because
when you go to a game or situation, you don't
have to know anybody who they are, their economic standing,
you know, or they afford or against the boy. You
know what I mean, Like like you come together and
(22:10):
you see people as one. It's incredible, Swarts. That's why
it is such a big deal.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
That's the bad part is that we leave and then
we go back into that for two and a half hours.
We high five to anybody, cheer with everybody. I might
have bought the whole row of beer. It's all good. Yeah,
I got carried away bad. I got a little crazy
on that one.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Anyway, rest Hey, thanks for the conversation, guys, love it.
Appreciate the conversation.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
All Right, we have any kink habla that's at that

Speaker 13 (23:02):
Fellas in the NBA play In Tournament, the Orlando Magic
led the Atlanta Hawks by twenty two points with three
twenty three left in the second quarter, but after three quarters,
we've suddenly got a ballgame. It's Orlando seventy nine Atlanta
seventy three, as the Hawks outscored the Magic twenty six
to eighteen in the third quarter and Trey Young after
(23:22):
a slow start, he was two for eight from the
field five for nine since then, he is now up
to twenty two points in Major League Baseball. The Washington
Nationals won at Pittsburgh three to nothing. James wood Is
sixth through run of the season. This one clocked in
at four hundred and forty five feet. The Arizona Diamondbacks
what at Miami ten to four. Corby and Carrol a
grand slam, Heraldo Perdomo a three run home run. The
(23:45):
Philadelphia Phillies over the San Francisco Giants six to four.

up nine to three against the White Sox in Chicago
in the bottom half of the sixth inning.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Find the guys.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
I was just able to track down this piece of audio.
This is a speech from Jackie Robinson before Game two
of the nineteen seventy two World Series. I'm gonna play
a quick clip of it for you, real quick.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Here.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
It was between the A's and the Reds at Old
Riverfront Stadium. And what I think is particularly poignant about
this piece of audio he made this speech nine days
before passing away. Listen, this is Jackie Robinson in nineteen
seventy two.
Speaker 10 (24:44):
I'm extremely proud and pleased to be here this afternoon,
but must admit I'm gonna be tremendously more pleased and
more proud.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Well, I look at that third base.
Speaker 10 (24:54):
Coaching line one day and see a black face managing
in baseball. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
To his death standing up nine days, nine days.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And you remember back in those days, the managers were
in the coaches box at third base.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, you know, right, you know you know what he meant.
All right, have a great night, a night, thanks for that. Yeah,
all right, we are Yeah, without a doubt. Man, we're coming.
He live from the Tireck dot Com students. I enjoyed
that conversation and thank you for having that with Rob
and it's amazing we were able to do that. We're
joined now. Bye, CBS NFL reporter Addi kik Kuwala. She's
(25:31):
joining us and we got some great conversation to be
had because there's a bunch going on between the NFL
and obviously the draft here is kicking off a week
from this Thursday. Aditi, thanks for joining it.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Thank you for having me. It's a little bit past
my bedtime, but I'm staying up just for you guys.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yes, you're not going to keep you long.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
We will not trust me. I get it. It's earlier
here on the West, but I got to get up
at three forty five and do a news morning news show,
so trust me. I get it.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Seriously, you're handle at both ends. I think nap in
the middle of the day. I have to.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I didn't get a good one in today, and I'm
disappointed and I feel it, but yeah, it's a mandatory
thing I have to otherwise I won't survive doing these
two shows.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
A Jalen Ramsey that you didn't have where.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You like, thank you Janel jays about that.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well, Stin just started there, go ahead and go there. Uh,
they're looking at trade and the Star cornerback dB. Jalen Ramsey,
who was had a heck of a career but all
of a sudden starting to you know, pop up on
several different teams. What did you make of that when
you saw that news?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Well, I think it's interesting that Chris curR says they're
not rebuilding, that this isn't about hitting reset that, you know.
I think we're seeing more and more teams wise up
to the fact that they want pull Mike Tomlins. They
want volunteers, not hostages, and so if a player doesn't
want to be there, why do they want him there.
I mean, it's what John Schneider said about DK metcalf right.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, that is true.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
And I remember Pat Roley once said when he was
with the Knicks, either you're in or you're out. And
if you don't you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean,
what do we do We got to convince you? That
just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 8 (27:07):
Greed and I think so much more at this point
is the ecosystem of the locker room and how those
people are working together. And if you've got someone that's
not really all in, then what's the point, right Why
keep battling the convince that person to be a better
teammate or a better leader, or be more into what
the collective effort is. What do we move on and
(27:29):
get what you can get?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So, Door Sanders, where is he going to be drafted?
You got any feel for that?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
You know?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
I honestly really don't, because I'll tell you there was
quite a lot of chatter after the combine from a
lot of NFL people that I spoke to that were
sort of quick to worry about the negatives, about the size,
about the mobility, about how he presented on the board
(27:58):
and their meetings. And then there is obviously this immediate
backlash that if you're not being judged fairly, because we
have to all acknowledge and recognize that if you're raised
this Dion Sun, you're not necessarily the same as if
you're raised as my father's daughter. Okay, fine, But now
in the last week or two we've seen again a
(28:20):
fair amount of buzz and I think that whatever is
going on with Derek Carr also sort of increases this idea. Look,
there's always going to be a desperation or an elevation
when it comes to quarterbacks. You know, quarterbacks will always
be sort of drafted. It's easy for a team to
(28:43):
say best available player outside of the quarterback position. So
if there is a run on quarterbacks, if there is,
you know, this hunger and this fear, I mean, I
don't know. I don't think it's out of I don't
know where he lands. I don't know where I really, honestly,
truly don't know where he lands. And I think that
(29:04):
that's part of the fun.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Of all of this, all right.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
I don't think he goes to the Browns. I don't
think he goes to the Giants. But that's just that's
not that's not solid sound reporting. That's more sort of
just a feel leave from the conversations that I'm happening.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
DD Kinkawala is our guest CBS NFL reporter who is saying, hurr, y'all,
hurry up so I can get to bed. Let me
let me, let me go.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Here.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
You got Travis Hunter, who Rob and I are both
fans of in the sense of give him a shot.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Let me we want to see him play both sides
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
At least he came out and said, I don't want
to play if a team is going to tell me no.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
And now I think it's just postering, like he's gonna quit.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
But what do you make of that? And and do
you think teams are maybe more open to it over
the last especially watching him as a receiver on his
pro day at all.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
You know, it's so funny. I'm I'm actually really curious
about that because I got to spend a little bit
of time with him at the combine and he was
so laid back about it.
Speaker 9 (30:07):
I mean I.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
Pressed him every which way and he literally would not
say which position he likes more. He swore to me
that he was not going to advocate to play for
one position over the other. And he also said it
didn't really matter to him when he was assessing the
prospects of being with a team whether that team viewed
(30:28):
him as a wide receiver first or a dB first.
He was so, you know, like shrugging his shoulders. However
they view me, that's their decision and that's what it is.
And so these feel like much stronger words, and so
I mean, I'll be honest with you. I'm excited to
get out in Green Bay next week and ask him
about it.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, we're all he's waiting to see. I mean, he's
a spectacular talent. Everybody keeps saying he's one of one
and a generational talent. So we'll see if they let him,
let him fly, you know, let him do what he wants. Dann,
thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yes, for sure, was fast.
Speaker 8 (31:04):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You know what we're gonna do.
Speaker 8 (31:08):
I was expecting Aaron Rodgers My goodness.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
No, well, no, no, it'll be a whole here.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Yeah, we well, we talk about all the time. I'm
assuming he's going to go to Pittsburgh or no, do
you have something different than that.
Speaker 8 (31:21):
It's taking a long time, isn't it. Don't you feel
as if he was really eager to get there, he
would get there, And if the Steelers were really interested
in addressing certain deficiencies in the leadership component of their offense,
wouldn't they feel really really motivated to want him in there.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I mean, I still think it could happen, because it's easy.
He could just say that he's you could just say
I'm done, and that boy.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
He's milking this thing.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
That's all right. Good he's been milking is so long
that chocolate milk is coming out.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Is my goodness. He's somewhere, Brett favs somewhere, applaud in
the way he's been. And it's like, job well done.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
All right. H Parker in Minnesota you're in the odd
couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
You're the last call here on the couple.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Hello, fellas, how's it going?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
What's up Parker?
Speaker 11 (34:14):
Not much?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
I don't know what the topic is. But I'm from Minnesota.
Obviously I'm a Wolf fan, and obviously because I'm a
Minnesota sports fan. Uh, they're gonna win this year. This
is the year that we're gonna win our championship. But
what do you guys think? I know we're facing the
Lakers first round. They're looking pretty good. Wish we could
have been facing the Nuggets, but that's whatever. How far
(34:36):
do you guys think we're going? What do you what
do you think it looks like?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Last year? They upset the Nuggets, so maybe don't upset
the Lakers this year.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I know.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
It's just yeah, that's not crazy. They've been playing very
well the last uh a month and a half or so.
They've been playing and Anthony Edwards has been playing out
of his mind too, so they've gotten better. I think
they're like fifteen and three or something crazier. I gotta
check it exactly, but they've been playing really good lately.
I was underwheld by them throughout two thirds of the
season though they thankfully they got it together lately, but
(35:04):
I wanted more for that. I was very high on
them early on. But uh, we'll see. That's what playoffs was.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Another one, who we got Chaplain Maddie, All right, let
me let me in Denver.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
You're in the couple five. That's right, you're the last call.
What's up?
Speaker 9 (35:19):
Happy Easter? It was then up on high gentlemen, thank
you for taking my call. I really honest the goodness.
For years thought this was a tape delayed show. So
I guess I can officially say a long time first time.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I don't know we are all the way loud.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I would maybe being at home, Chaplain.
Speaker 9 (35:37):
I checked, I checked you, I checked you guys out
on the nightly. I'll I'll get in the rotation. First
of all, God bless Jackie Robinson, sut doubt just but
two gentlemen that I wanted to mention, being a longtime
Nugget fan, by the way, the last caller, and you're
on anyway, I think we go. We got a Serbia
cat is gonna have something to say about all that.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, But but.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Chris Jackson, the man, I mean, I was a younger.
Cat didn't really understand young in my twenties, but now
I certainly understand. I get it. So I have to
tip my cap to that gentleman. The the other one,
and this is going to come away out of left field.
A guy named Nosen Katri. He's with the Flames now,
(36:23):
a man of Muslim faith from Toronto. In the last
cup run that the ABS made, you know, one of
them in Saint Louis. You know, they just decided to
start throwing death threats at his kids and stuff.
Speaker 7 (36:35):
Terrible, you know, and you know what, and he's without
that cat.
Speaker 9 (36:41):
The Abs don't win that Stanley Cup.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
They just don't.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
The guy that the guy played with broken bones man
and had to worry about his family. I mean, now
you had to escort his family to him from hockey games.
That's come on, man, we are more sophisticated than that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
But well, we appreciate that.
Speaker 9 (36:59):
You'll be here, will be hearing from me again, gentlemen,
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
I have a great good Fridy in East too. I
will with my family. Thank you so much. Hey Kurt
in North Dakota, you're the last call a question mark, Rob.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
Love you guys, man, I love your show off right
right after I Jackie Robinson broke the barrier in the
National ring. Roy Campanella broke the barrier for the American
Association when he started playing for the Sat. Paul Saints
and they were a farm cup of the Dodgers, and
before the Twins showed up, there's all kinds of Dodger
fans in the Twin Cities. But anyways, Jory Campanella was
a great, great catcher. And uh, when the Dodgers and
(37:34):
the Yankees are battle and then the fifties, uh, Roy
Campanella and Yogi Bear, I mean they were the two
you know, and unfortunately had a tragic accident. Yeah, big
love out, big love out to Roy Campanell, Big love
out to you too, because man, I can feel the
love coming from the show and there's nothing else just
you guys.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Man.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
So God bless you too.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
God bless you too, Kurt, And I want to show
what I'd shared with you off there about Oh yeah,
Rachel Robinson and Yogi era right, And of course Jackie
Robinson stole home on Yogi Bearer.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Yogi always contended that he was out and he wasn't
He didn't home, and so whenever Rachel and Yogi would
see each other for over sixty years, they wouldn't say,
like the first thing they would say to each other
is Yogi would say out and Rachel would say safe.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
I mean, I think that's all.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
That's a great story, man. You just you love to
hear those types of things. And again, that is why
sports are so important, man, especially for like playing it.
Because I've told you, watching so much, reading so many
books in history about sports, guys. I was taught this
one thing, thought this one thing. Then I got around.
I didn't know what it was like until I played
with such and such and was around these guys, and
(38:44):
I found out there's not that much different between us,
you know. I found out I loved their other culture.
They love my culture. We rocked, we bond together, we
fought together. That's why those things are so important. Man,
what a good show today. I was very happy with
today's show. Absolutely, Man.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
When you come back tomorrow and do it all over
again in the mornth.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Like, it ain't nothing shout that we got a new
person calling in Chaplin. I forgot his name, but the
chick got the Chappa Maddie praying for us out worship Wednesday.
