So there you have it, and the Rob g are
(01:52):
you watching this Chargers Lions?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I know it's the Pro Bowl, but preseason game, the
Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
I'm sorry, go.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Charga, just just awful, Go Charger Charga. This is what
the lines are gonna look like this year. Is that
Jared golf in there?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Is that? No, that is not Jared. I know he's
not playing. No, don't worry about that when he's back.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Louisiana, rub Hot, you missed a great segment, by the way.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Segment was when you were off earlier this week and
Kerry Roase, friend of the show, was sitting in with Dub.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
They did a segment with a straight face agreeing with
John Gruden that Jared Goff was comparable to Joe Montana.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Okay, that's why John Gruden isn't coaching.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I'm just trying to get Rob fired out because I
know that he's really lucky out there.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You don't have to get me fired up on that
because we both agreed aesthetically. But boy, oh boy, he
ain't Joe Joe cool at all.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Are you kidding? Man?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Come on, I know he's trying to be get some attention.
I guess right, is that what it is? John Goode?
He's out there camp going around. He's desperate, man. He
wants to get back in so bad. Dude, Can I
tell you this, when you were coach and you were
allowsy other than that Super Bowl that you won for
with Tony Dungee's team, you seriously rob with the Raiders
(03:20):
the first time. No, but go look, I'm just saying,
go look at his number. They're not good.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He wasn't good for him to be getting ten years,
one hundred million or whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
That was a man crushed by the Raiders.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Only I'll tell you he's better than Kyle Shanahan. That's it.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, you know I'm not a Kyle Shanahan guy. You
love Kyle Shanahan, No, I don't. I think both of
them should be fired.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And I mean, listen, Kyle Shanahan, he ain't Bill Watshed.
But y'all got to relax trying to get that man
fired all the time. No.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I mean, if they've been to Super Bowl twice, what
are you talking about? That dude is bad in big games.
Like if we're looking at the fourth quarters, look go
look at his fourth quarters in big game.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
If we're being honest. The only coach in any sport
that Rob actually respects Larry Brown, that's bast the only one.
Everybody else good players, he sucks. Have you seen Phil
Jackson when he.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And give you some great quality time in Detroit? Is
that what happened? No, ib you want to go split
some wings and talk about basketball?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It ain't even because he came to the barber shop.
It has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
What Okay, I knew he would get to it, Bob
g It has nothing to do with that Ham Joe Dumart,
Like Joe Dumart is a great executive, though he made
the worst trade of the NBA season, Joe, because he
knows that if you don't gotta be right, you gotta
get it right.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
No, are you sitting to get that twenty fourteen beat
your Lakers? Do you know the one that's good about
but go back before he got there, Come on, man,
stop stop And they went back the next year, so
it showed that it wasn't a fluke.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
That went rob menu though, right, what's the short manu rot?
What's on the menu of US sports.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
With no stars?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
What would no stars? Stop it?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Robbi Robbie, I ain't gonna lie. This is funny seeing
him scoring around like for these guys that he loves. No,
that's what it is. He All we gotta do is
have pat No he gonna do is take a look,
get a haircut at the shop and they're good.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
No, take a look at their Joe g never came
to the shop. Take a look at uh, Larry Brown's
history and what he turned every team around except for
the Knicks. He was there for a short period of
time and it just didn't click because Larry Brown is
originally from Brooklyn.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But it didn't work. You know, that was the only.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Place if you go look at his history, seriously, everywhere
he went, teams got better everywhere. He was a fantastic
and the only coach to win what Kelvin the only coach.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah and NBA. So but all right, we're gonna speaking
of guys that you like.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
There is only one black quarterback and the NFL right
now that y'all can agree on that is none other
than the two time MVP.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
To Mark Jackson.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Why do you think I don't like black quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Because you don't.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
But Lamar Jackson, we can all agree, is great and
he got rob lust. He is an incredible He is
a specimen. He is box office. One thing that he
has not been, allegedly historically in the eyes of his distractors,
is a prototypical quarterback. Though they say, if there's one
thing that he does not do well, it is win
(06:27):
games from the pocket. Well, his head coach, John Harbaugh
has a big problem with that line of thing.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
You take a listen, I think from a football standpoint,
just go to the most basic, simple thing. Lamar is
a passer. He is a historically good passer. And that's
really quite a statement because of the of the narrative
that's been surrounding him ever since the beginning. Lamar Jackson
can throw the football. He can throw it every kind
of way and make every kind of throw any kind
of way you want. He's as good as any guy,
(06:55):
any passer that has ever been And I think now
the numbers are proven that. So that's the thing kind
of a little bit prouder, but also a little bit like, Okay,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
What have we learned from that?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
You know, you can take a big picture, you can
say from a society standpoint, football standpoint.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
What have we learned from that? What kind of question
do we ask ourselves?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
But Lamar Jackson as a passer is historically great.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Lamar Jackson is historically great. It's proven by the numbers,
and he has gotten better. And you know what he
reminds me of. Lamar Jackson is the Michael Jacksons of quarterbacks.
And here's what I mean. Michael Jackson is such a
great dancer. Michael Jackson is such a great performer. Michael
Jackson had the theatrics, he had to hit ease and
(07:40):
all of that amazing videos. Maybe it'll never be another
video's greatest thiller that at this point you forgot when
it all started and what it boiled down to was
Michael Jackson was also a great singer. You just forget
that because of all the other stuff. And I think
Lamar Jackson has become a really good passer and we
forget it.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Because all the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Because athletic he is, because he can run, he extends
plays because of all the you know, the amazing heroic
highlight plays, and now with Derek Henbry in the backfield
that you forget. Lamar Jackson is also passing the ball
very very well. Now he might not pass your eye tests.
It doesn't come off like Matthew Stafford or Aaron Rodgers
(08:22):
or Peyton Manning. I'll give you that. It doesn't look
that like that. But what he's doing is incredible. He
set career highs forty almost forty two hundred yards passing
and forty one passing touchdowns. Rob I didn't say mix
of rushing passing touchdowns.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
He led the league.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And this is a key one. He wasn't deacon and
dunking and throwing it down, you know, just two yards up.
He led the league in yards per attempt with eight
point eight and if you do it justice yards per attempt,
you go to ten point one five and you know what,
he had ten to one touchdown the interception ratio. So
what I'm saying is this guy has become a really
good pat. Can you sit up here on you know,
(09:01):
Thursday night football games or if they're random Fridays that
we get to watch together or Monday nights when we're
sitting next to each other and we just marvel at
the passes, not just the running the passes. So one
thing Lamar Jackson you have to give him credit for
is he's gotten better at becoming a pocket passer and
making good paces. Now there's still left some left to
(09:22):
be desired, he still has room to grow. Ultimately, we
want to see him make those big plays and make
passes in the postseason.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
But absolutely he's become a very good passer.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You don't have forty almost two hundred yards passing and
forty one passing touchdowns if you're not Lamar Jackson. All
the other stuff, the not looking like a stereotypical quarterback,
the not you know, presenting like that, and all the
other stuff, and still having to overcome for what people
were saying about him coming out of college. That's the
distraction from the fact that he has gotten much better
(09:52):
as a passer. And it's been remarkable to see, and
I applaud him for getting better, not just relying on
his natural ability, but putting in the work to become
even better.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I think there's something here that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Has uh, you know, stereotypes race that was involved early
on when people were saying that he should go and
be a dB, a golf for passes and all that
kind of stuff. Yeah, what's his name from the Bill
Polian who's a Hall of Fame exact that you had
(10:24):
a guy like that saying that to Lamar and I
think that that stuck with people. I'm dead serious because
there's no reason that that should still be out there.
When this guy, Okay and you talked about it. He
had number last year QBR number one, seventy seven, number one,
(10:47):
not four five, number one touchdown interception. You talked about
forty one touchdowns, four picks, and the eight point eight
yards per attempt, which all were first Okay and Kelvin,
let's add this right, the first in NFL history with
(11:10):
forty passing touchdowns and less than five in the first game.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Been around for it forever. It's never been done by
anybody else.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Dann Marino, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, I could go on,
Peyton Manny.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Never been done.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
And the idea that people still don't think he can pass,
or that he's not a prolific passer. We watched last year.
Do you remember that throw he made? We couldn't believe it. Yes, spectacular.
There was another one, Rob g I don't know if
it was a national game. In the end zone. You
(11:48):
remember there was only one little spot Kelvin, do you
remember that the ball could have gone You had a
diving receiver and the ball was placed perfectly in that spot.
He ain't time and time again. I know he's a
gifted athlete. He is a gifted passer. Stop acting like
he can't throw the football.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Last year was a clinic. It was a clinic.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
He was doing video game numbers and me and you
were like, I said, handful of the games we got
a chance to watch together and it was just laughable.
And again you touched on something. I was gonna almost
have Alex replay that. There's a point when John harball.
You could tell he didn't want to go there, but
he said we gotta start having some and he kind
of stopped that conversation.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
He's kind of stopped.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
What he's talking about is when you see guys who
happen to be gifted, fast and are black, you can't
still okay for them to be great Cord they just
have it all. You know what that's called in baseball,
A five to a player, and we don't go, well,
you know, he's just an athlete. Oh well he No,
you say the kid's a five to a player, black white,
afro like.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
He can run, he can hit, hit it can be
hit for power field.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You just call it that in little Jackson has He's
good at the podium, right if you're going over all
the tools of a quarterback, he's great in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
He makes past love that dude.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
John Harball will go to bat for him and credit
that team, the Ravens or Hale organization.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I believe Ozzie Smith was still there.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oz Knews. I'm sorry, Ozzie knew some when they drafted,
they change. They said, we're gonna build around you. We
didn't you have to do this, you have. They know
we're gonna slowly build this thing around you. And it's
been great to see and absolutely there's still a little
bit of that. Well, uh, you know, he's an athlete,
he's a runner.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Or he's he can throw that thing to be a runner.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
No, he's a quarterback who happens to be athletic and fastest. Heck,
just like you can be a basketball player or a
shoot and have multiple tools, and a baseball player be
a five tool player.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
You gonna have.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Quarterbacks don't have to be six five and stiff like
Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
You know what I mean. He has it all.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Now you want him to make three or four extra
plays in a postseason game to get those so he
can finally get away.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
I think once he gets too over that, I think
the people are gonna have to just give it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Up because they're hanging on that after totally against nothing else,
nothing else, A great kid.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
No trouble, honorable dude.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
All he does is show up to work, put on
some more weight masks because he was a little thin
in the first couple of years. Like, dude, I'm just
a big fan of the guy too, and I and
I'm blown away when he was putting up huge numbers.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
You don't throw.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You don't lead the league in yards per attempt if
you're just dinking and down.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Really a passer, right, you.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Don't have forty one passing not total meaning he only
had twenty five passing in fifteen sixteen on the ground,
forty one passing touchdowns.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
That's crazy all right?
Speaker 3 (14:44):

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Happy taste good.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
All right, We got tysher Tower trivia on the way
and just a little bit about fifty five six minutes.
But right now, Robin I taking us a few calls
talking about Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh's coach saying, Yo, man,
that dude is on a historic rate. We're passing, and
Robin I agree. It's amazing what he's been able to
do is as a pass.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Forty one touchdowns and four picks is insane. Have you
want to nitpick last year? And this is not an exaggeration.
You remember three were tipped, three d intercepting were tipped.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Dude, utterly ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
When he done forty two hundred passing yards, It's just
remarkable what he's been able to do.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
And you got it, that's passing.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I got eight point eight yards per a tempt higher
than anyone else that's passing. You disagree that's Hayton unless
we're wrong. Eight seven, seven ninety.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Nine on five.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
All right, Winningham in Virginia. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, y'all?
Speaker 12 (18:10):
Thanks for taking back car, Yes, sir, but I'm thinking
what he's a very good quarterback because like we do,
let love being what's a path to see what it is?
He gets a quarterback with tatam see. He didn't like
a swisch plade. He can be a running back when
the company being running back. And he didn't do all
the things that a quarterback can do. He don't get
in trouble. He left college early and said that's all
(18:35):
I got to said. He's a good passive quarterback. He
just open door for the rest of the ways.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
No doubt. Thanks for the call. Appreciate that. Winningham.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Andre in Ohio, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
On Massachusetts. Okay, I was gonna say that was weird.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, I was like Dre, Yeah, no, a different Dred,
but it is Dre Massachusetts.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
What's up. How are you?
Speaker 13 (18:58):
I'm doing good. You go out to Ohio and and
Drew Perry shown, you know, but I'm you know.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Hey, we'll be there next week, Rob.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's why we'll be in Cleveland, YEP for the NABJ convention.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Can't wait, big, big event.
Speaker 13 (19:13):
You know. Actually there's some of our some of our
local reporters here, So the CAP and the Cape got
time to go out and attend that event, and they
do a really good job here and we're happy to
have him. So that that's an important event. Uh, just
in the African American community, in the community of journalists
written large specific to Lamar Jackson. Yes, he's an elite
thrower of the quarterback. It is important that his coach
(19:34):
Harbam mentions this because it was important for Lamar Jackson
when he came out and his first MVP season then
lit the Miami Dolphins up, you know, in the press
conference and he come out and say not bad for
a running back or not bad ride receiver because the
perception of him when he was coming, he had to
really overcome a lot of stumbling blocks that other folks
(19:54):
don't have to go through. And in the bottom line,
there's no two ways about it, you know, talking about
how his mom was his agent and he's that he's
not running the forty No, he's not going to run
the forty yard desk, even though he would have lit
it up, because we're not going to allow you to
put him in a box.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Exactly right, right, all of.
Speaker 13 (20:09):
These things that he had to go through, you know,
in order just to be recognized as a quarterback, and
then the proof is in the pudding multiple MVPs. Baltimore
has been at the top of the AFC, you know,
and in the Super Bowl conversation for the majority of
his career. Kelvin, as you said, he still has to
win the Big Kahuna. He has to bring home.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh yeah, he has to win. There's no doubt about it.
I mean, there's no doubt. And I think Kelvin and
I we agree on this. He's too talented that he's
just going to It's going to happen and he'll break
through finally.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So we'll see that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
How about Jean in Mississippi, you're in the eye couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
What's up, Jean?
Speaker 14 (20:47):
Hey man, let me tell you what I loved listening
to y'all every night. I really do.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Thank you, Thank you, Jean Collard.
Speaker 14 (20:55):
I have called on when when you and Chris were together.
But hey, I just want to sew this out. Lamar
is the most exciting player in football. I'm just gonna
give you a little tidbit. There's a guy that played
quarterback in the University of Mississippi, and I want y'all
do your research. He was way before his time. His
(21:16):
name was Reggie Collier. Reggie Collier was the first quarterback
in NCAA history that rushed and threw for a thousand yards.
And we were in are Independent, but we also in
the Metro Conference, and we would eat the lot the
likes of the Florida States and all that. But what
(21:37):
I'm saying is Reggie Collier was way before his time.
And Lamar has the same attributes as that. And each
year Lamar has gotten better and better. And back then,
they didn't know what the hell to do with somebody
like Reggie that can run and throw like that, and
(21:57):
back then all it was where we need know a
pocket passer and everything. Reggie was the first quarterback that
I could recall that can run and throw. I mean
he had run seventy eight yards a touchdown and do
all this. And the coaches back then didn't know and
they were like, well, he's only a runner, right.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
And like Lamar Lamar.
Speaker 14 (22:20):
I've seen Lamar come play here at Southern Myss here
in Hattiesburg, and I saw what he could do. But
it's not only that, but the way he carries himself.
And he's only he. He is not a me first person.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
No, he's not flashy at all. He's laid back, nothing
like show.
Speaker 14 (22:39):
And I get so tired of somebody saying, well, you know,
the black quarterbacks and this, that and the other, and
you know, and I'm a white man. I played. I
played the University of the Mississippi and fifty eight years old,
a few younger years of that. Reggie Collier and Ray

We got to check that out, Gene. Yeah, I'm looking
up his SATs right now.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
He ended up doing to the USFL and had a
career there, but yeah, he I'm looking appreciate it. He
was a third over player overall selected USFL back in
eighty three.

big mistake because now he's the ROTA and when Rob
has home field advantage, what it's like Lambeau back in
the nineties.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Oh, it's because you know Mills Lane or whatever. Why

blank jackets.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Licks. Hi, Rob, how are you, buddy? Man? You look great?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
You do too, your hair is glowing. I saw you

They're on sail for six.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Let's go. Let's go, all right, But you do have

have no problem to your to your dismay. Huh, yes,
robg can't come here? We go, all right, Alex, you're ready,
I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Silver, Elijah put that camera back on him.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Silver.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
What I wanted to say, I'm not gonna say because
I know that's not right. But knowing you Ron, there's
always a duality. These are tanhem, these are connected, They're interlocked.
Everything has a reason. That's why you're enshrined. I'm going gold.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Simple, but you can't do that because he's thorough.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Have to be absolutely burn and Ernie Wow, Oh gosh,
all right, Pro Football Hall of Fame Edition, Bernie. I'll
be because Bird had the big nose.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
People dumb.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
One of the coolest parts about the Hall of Fame
process is that when a player gets selected, someone will
literally knock on the blank to tell them.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Alex out let me. Alex and Rob? Are you ready?
What pair your couple? My goodness, you're just jealous because
you don't have a connection with true workers. I have
a connection with Rob. G Take that, do you? Yes?
When basketball we talked, all right, here we go, Alex.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
That's why he called you Chris my mistake when I'm sorry,
move Rob off your lap.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Hey, Alex, is that a watermelon in your pot?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
My gosh, you ain't gonna make it. Six years. He
ain't gonna make it. Are you ready to host the
show starting next week? Watermelon water? First of all, you're
the biggest watermelon patch ever. Like, how many watermelon my
guys here?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
So the best part about it was he didn't bring
any watermelon to any of the black and boards.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Because he ain't wanted to be offending exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
The rest of the world. We're the only ones who
eat watermelon.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Somehow we got to everybody in the world of fried chicken.
Some how it's only black people.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
All right, here we go, alright, we're looking for a
knock on the blank to tell okay, all right, Alex,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
I'm ready, Ben Mela warming up? Bell. What did you say?
Did you? Did you have it again? I said.
Speaker 12 (30:24):
Bell?
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Bell? Bell, b E L L correct? Bell, read again bell.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Coolest part about the Hall of Fame process, and when
the player gets selected, someone will literally knock on the
blank to tell.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Them, knock on the blank, bell, what do you do? Bell?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
Door?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
That is correct? Got it? I was going to say, front, Oh,
knock on the front front.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Oh, you're lucky, I went thinking you surely went about
to get back.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
It gets harder as we get up the tower. Rob
twenty to ten.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Here here we go back to you figure your back guy,
before you are becoming a Hall of Fame tight end.
Antonio Blank actually played basketball.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
And.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
All right, Alex, are you ready?

Something that is against ramp Yes, rob G, you ain't
going to no Dodger games. Now they're gonna ask for
you specifically, and I'm gonna say nope.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
I'm gonna say trombone is incorrect. That's what you're.
Speaker 15 (31:53):
Terrible?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
All right, that's Alex. That looks like I was. I
played back to you. Chance to steal.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
We're looking for Antonio Blank played basketball, not football in college.
Speaker 15 (32:09):
Alex ready, pearly, Oh Gates, how's that a Gates?
Speaker 5 (32:23):

when it's over, You're wasn't a bad guess.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
No trombone goes t I was just this is like
the Atlanta chop or something, Okay.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
I thought you a sprinkler, now, Rob, I thought you

what I thought.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:35):

I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I know it's the Pro Bowl, but preseason game, the
Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
I'm sorry, go.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Charga, just just awful, Go Charger Charga. This is what
the lines are gonna look like this year. Is that
Jared golf in there?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Is that? No, that is not Jared. I know he's
not playing. No, don't worry about that when he's back.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Louisiana, rub Hot, you missed a great segment, by the way.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Segment was when you were off earlier this week and
Kerry Roase, friend of the show, was sitting in with Dub.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
They did a segment with a straight face agreeing with
John Gruden that Jared Goff was comparable to Joe Montana.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Okay, that's why John Gruden isn't coaching.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I'm just trying to get Rob fired out because I
know that he's really lucky out there.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You don't have to get me fired up on that
because we both agreed aesthetically. But boy, oh boy, he
ain't Joe Joe cool at all.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Are you kidding? Man?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Come on, I know he's trying to be get some attention.
I guess right, is that what it is? John Goode?
He's out there camp going around. He's desperate, man. He
wants to get back in so bad. Dude, Can I
tell you this, when you were coach and you were
allowsy other than that Super Bowl that you won for
with Tony Dungee's team, you seriously rob with the Raiders
(03:20):
the first time. No, but go look, I'm just saying,
go look at his number. They're not good.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He wasn't good for him to be getting ten years,
one hundred million or whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
That was a man crushed by the Raiders.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Only I'll tell you he's better than Kyle Shanahan. That's it.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, you know I'm not a Kyle Shanahan guy. You
love Kyle Shanahan, No, I don't. I think both of
them should be fired.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And I mean, listen, Kyle Shanahan, he ain't Bill Watshed.
But y'all got to relax trying to get that man
fired all the time. No.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I mean, if they've been to Super Bowl twice, what
are you talking about? That dude is bad in big games.
Like if we're looking at the fourth quarters, look go
look at his fourth quarters in big game.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
If we're being honest. The only coach in any sport
that Rob actually respects Larry Brown, that's bast the only one.
Everybody else good players, he sucks. Have you seen Phil
Jackson when he.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And give you some great quality time in Detroit? Is
that what happened? No, ib you want to go split
some wings and talk about basketball?
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It ain't even because he came to the barber shop.
It has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
What Okay, I knew he would get to it, Bob
g It has nothing to do with that Ham Joe Dumart,
Like Joe Dumart is a great executive, though he made
the worst trade of the NBA season, Joe, because he
knows that if you don't gotta be right, you gotta
get it right.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
No, are you sitting to get that twenty fourteen beat
your Lakers? Do you know the one that's good about
but go back before he got there, Come on, man,
stop stop And they went back the next year, so
it showed that it wasn't a fluke.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
That went rob menu though, right, what's the short manu rot?
What's on the menu of US sports.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
With no stars?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
What would no stars? Stop it?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Robbi Robbie, I ain't gonna lie. This is funny seeing
him scoring around like for these guys that he loves. No,
that's what it is. He All we gotta do is
have pat No he gonna do is take a look,
get a haircut at the shop and they're good.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
No, take a look at their Joe g never came
to the shop. Take a look at uh, Larry Brown's
history and what he turned every team around except for
the Knicks. He was there for a short period of
time and it just didn't click because Larry Brown is
originally from Brooklyn.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
But it didn't work. You know, that was the only.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Place if you go look at his history, seriously, everywhere
he went, teams got better everywhere. He was a fantastic
and the only coach to win what Kelvin the only coach.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Yeah and NBA. So but all right, we're gonna speaking
of guys that you like.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
There is only one black quarterback and the NFL right
now that y'all can agree on that is none other
than the two time MVP.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
To Mark Jackson.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Why do you think I don't like black quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Because you don't.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
But Lamar Jackson, we can all agree, is great and
he got rob lust. He is an incredible He is
a specimen. He is box office. One thing that he
has not been, allegedly historically in the eyes of his distractors,
is a prototypical quarterback. Though they say, if there's one
thing that he does not do well, it is win
(06:27):
games from the pocket. Well, his head coach, John Harbaugh
has a big problem with that line of thing.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
You take a listen, I think from a football standpoint,
just go to the most basic, simple thing. Lamar is
a passer. He is a historically good passer. And that's
really quite a statement because of the of the narrative
that's been surrounding him ever since the beginning. Lamar Jackson
can throw the football. He can throw it every kind
of way and make every kind of throw any kind
of way you want. He's as good as any guy,
(06:55):
any passer that has ever been And I think now
the numbers are proven that. So that's the thing kind
of a little bit prouder, but also a little bit like, Okay,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
What have we learned from that?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
You know, you can take a big picture, you can
say from a society standpoint, football standpoint.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
What have we learned from that? What kind of question
do we ask ourselves?
Speaker 8 (07:11):
But Lamar Jackson as a passer is historically great.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Lamar Jackson is historically great. It's proven by the numbers,
and he has gotten better. And you know what he
reminds me of. Lamar Jackson is the Michael Jacksons of quarterbacks.
And here's what I mean. Michael Jackson is such a
great dancer. Michael Jackson is such a great performer. Michael
Jackson had the theatrics, he had to hit ease and
(07:40):
all of that amazing videos. Maybe it'll never be another
video's greatest thiller that at this point you forgot when
it all started and what it boiled down to was
Michael Jackson was also a great singer. You just forget
that because of all the other stuff. And I think
Lamar Jackson has become a really good passer and we
forget it.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Because all the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Because athletic he is, because he can run, he extends
plays because of all the you know, the amazing heroic
highlight plays, and now with Derek Henbry in the backfield
that you forget. Lamar Jackson is also passing the ball
very very well. Now he might not pass your eye tests.
It doesn't come off like Matthew Stafford or Aaron Rodgers
(08:22):
or Peyton Manning. I'll give you that. It doesn't look
that like that. But what he's doing is incredible. He
set career highs forty almost forty two hundred yards passing
and forty one passing touchdowns. Rob I didn't say mix
of rushing passing touchdowns.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
He led the league.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And this is a key one. He wasn't deacon and
dunking and throwing it down, you know, just two yards up.
He led the league in yards per attempt with eight
point eight and if you do it justice yards per attempt,
you go to ten point one five and you know what,
he had ten to one touchdown the interception ratio. So
what I'm saying is this guy has become a really
good pat. Can you sit up here on you know,
(09:01):
Thursday night football games or if they're random Fridays that
we get to watch together or Monday nights when we're
sitting next to each other and we just marvel at
the passes, not just the running the passes. So one
thing Lamar Jackson you have to give him credit for
is he's gotten better at becoming a pocket passer and
making good paces. Now there's still left some left to
(09:22):
be desired, he still has room to grow. Ultimately, we
want to see him make those big plays and make
passes in the postseason.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
But absolutely he's become a very good passer.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You don't have forty almost two hundred yards passing and
forty one passing touchdowns if you're not Lamar Jackson. All
the other stuff, the not looking like a stereotypical quarterback,
the not you know, presenting like that, and all the
other stuff, and still having to overcome for what people
were saying about him coming out of college. That's the
distraction from the fact that he has gotten much better
(09:52):
as a passer. And it's been remarkable to see, and
I applaud him for getting better, not just relying on
his natural ability, but putting in the work to become
even better.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I think there's something here that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Has uh, you know, stereotypes race that was involved early
on when people were saying that he should go and
be a dB, a golf for passes and all that
kind of stuff. Yeah, what's his name from the Bill
Polian who's a Hall of Fame exact that you had
(10:24):
a guy like that saying that to Lamar and I
think that that stuck with people. I'm dead serious because
there's no reason that that should still be out there.
When this guy, Okay and you talked about it. He
had number last year QBR number one, seventy seven, number one,
(10:47):
not four five, number one touchdown interception. You talked about
forty one touchdowns, four picks, and the eight point eight
yards per attempt, which all were first Okay and Kelvin,
let's add this right, the first in NFL history with
(11:10):
forty passing touchdowns and less than five in the first game.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Been around for it forever. It's never been done by
anybody else.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Dann Marino, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, I could go on,
Peyton Manny.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Never been done.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
And the idea that people still don't think he can pass,
or that he's not a prolific passer. We watched last year.
Do you remember that throw he made? We couldn't believe it. Yes, spectacular.
There was another one, Rob g I don't know if
it was a national game. In the end zone. You
(11:48):
remember there was only one little spot Kelvin, do you
remember that the ball could have gone You had a
diving receiver and the ball was placed perfectly in that spot.
He ain't time and time again. I know he's a
gifted athlete. He is a gifted passer. Stop acting like
he can't throw the football.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Last year was a clinic. It was a clinic.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
He was doing video game numbers and me and you
were like, I said, handful of the games we got
a chance to watch together and it was just laughable.
And again you touched on something. I was gonna almost
have Alex replay that. There's a point when John harball.
You could tell he didn't want to go there, but
he said we gotta start having some and he kind
of stopped that conversation.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
He's kind of stopped.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
What he's talking about is when you see guys who
happen to be gifted, fast and are black, you can't
still okay for them to be great Cord they just
have it all. You know what that's called in baseball,
A five to a player, and we don't go, well,
you know, he's just an athlete. Oh well he No,
you say the kid's a five to a player, black white,
afro like.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
He can run, he can hit, hit it can be
hit for power field.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You just call it that in little Jackson has He's
good at the podium, right if you're going over all
the tools of a quarterback, he's great in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
He makes past love that dude.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
John Harball will go to bat for him and credit
that team, the Ravens or Hale organization.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I believe Ozzie Smith was still there.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Oz Knews. I'm sorry, Ozzie knew some when they drafted,
they change. They said, we're gonna build around you. We
didn't you have to do this, you have. They know
we're gonna slowly build this thing around you. And it's
been great to see and absolutely there's still a little
bit of that. Well, uh, you know, he's an athlete,
he's a runner.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Or he's he can throw that thing to be a runner.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
No, he's a quarterback who happens to be athletic and fastest. Heck,
just like you can be a basketball player or a
shoot and have multiple tools, and a baseball player be
a five tool player.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
You gonna have.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Quarterbacks don't have to be six five and stiff like
Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
You know what I mean. He has it all.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Now you want him to make three or four extra
plays in a postseason game to get those so he
can finally get away.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
I think once he gets too over that, I think
the people are gonna have to just give it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Up because they're hanging on that after totally against nothing else,
nothing else, A great kid.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
No trouble, honorable dude.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
All he does is show up to work, put on
some more weight masks because he was a little thin
in the first couple of years. Like, dude, I'm just
a big fan of the guy too, and I and
I'm blown away when he was putting up huge numbers.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
You don't throw.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You don't lead the league in yards per attempt if
you're just dinking and down.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Really a passer, right, you.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Don't have forty one passing not total meaning he only
had twenty five passing in fifteen sixteen on the ground,
forty one passing touchdowns.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
That's crazy all right?

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Happy taste good.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
All right, We got tysher Tower trivia on the way
and just a little bit about fifty five six minutes.
But right now, Robin I taking us a few calls
talking about Lamar Jackson, John Harbaugh's coach saying, Yo, man,
that dude is on a historic rate. We're passing, and
Robin I agree. It's amazing what he's been able to
do is as a pass.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Forty one touchdowns and four picks is insane. Have you
want to nitpick last year? And this is not an exaggeration.
You remember three were tipped, three d intercepting were tipped.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Dude, utterly ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
When he done forty two hundred passing yards, It's just
remarkable what he's been able to do.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
And you got it, that's passing.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I got eight point eight yards per a tempt higher
than anyone else that's passing. You disagree that's Hayton unless
we're wrong. Eight seven, seven ninety.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Nine on five.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
All right, Winningham in Virginia. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, y'all?
Speaker 12 (18:10):
Thanks for taking back car, Yes, sir, but I'm thinking
what he's a very good quarterback because like we do,
let love being what's a path to see what it is?
He gets a quarterback with tatam see. He didn't like
a swisch plade. He can be a running back when
the company being running back. And he didn't do all
the things that a quarterback can do. He don't get
in trouble. He left college early and said that's all
(18:35):
I got to said. He's a good passive quarterback. He
just open door for the rest of the ways.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
No doubt. Thanks for the call. Appreciate that. Winningham.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Andre in Ohio, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
On Massachusetts. Okay, I was gonna say that was weird.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, I was like Dre, Yeah, no, a different Dred,
but it is Dre Massachusetts.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
What's up. How are you?
Speaker 13 (18:58):
I'm doing good. You go out to Ohio and and
Drew Perry shown, you know, but I'm you know.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Hey, we'll be there next week, Rob.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's why we'll be in Cleveland, YEP for the NABJ convention.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Can't wait, big, big event.
Speaker 13 (19:13):
You know. Actually there's some of our some of our
local reporters here, So the CAP and the Cape got
time to go out and attend that event, and they
do a really good job here and we're happy to
have him. So that that's an important event. Uh, just
in the African American community, in the community of journalists
written large specific to Lamar Jackson. Yes, he's an elite
thrower of the quarterback. It is important that his coach
(19:34):
Harbam mentions this because it was important for Lamar Jackson
when he came out and his first MVP season then
lit the Miami Dolphins up, you know, in the press
conference and he come out and say not bad for
a running back or not bad ride receiver because the
perception of him when he was coming, he had to
really overcome a lot of stumbling blocks that other folks
(19:54):
don't have to go through. And in the bottom line,
there's no two ways about it, you know, talking about
how his mom was his agent and he's that he's
not running the forty No, he's not going to run
the forty yard desk, even though he would have lit
it up, because we're not going to allow you to
put him in a box.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Exactly right, right, all of.
Speaker 13 (20:09):
These things that he had to go through, you know,
in order just to be recognized as a quarterback, and
then the proof is in the pudding multiple MVPs. Baltimore
has been at the top of the AFC, you know,
and in the Super Bowl conversation for the majority of
his career. Kelvin, as you said, he still has to
win the Big Kahuna. He has to bring home.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh yeah, he has to win. There's no doubt about it.
I mean, there's no doubt. And I think Kelvin and
I we agree on this. He's too talented that he's
just going to It's going to happen and he'll break
through finally.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
So we'll see that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
How about Jean in Mississippi, you're in the eye couple
of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
What's up, Jean?
Speaker 14 (20:47):
Hey man, let me tell you what I loved listening
to y'all every night. I really do.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Thank you, Thank you, Jean Collard.
Speaker 14 (20:55):
I have called on when when you and Chris were together.
But hey, I just want to sew this out. Lamar
is the most exciting player in football. I'm just gonna
give you a little tidbit. There's a guy that played
quarterback in the University of Mississippi, and I want y'all
do your research. He was way before his time. His
(21:16):
name was Reggie Collier. Reggie Collier was the first quarterback
in NCAA history that rushed and threw for a thousand yards.
And we were in are Independent, but we also in
the Metro Conference, and we would eat the lot the
likes of the Florida States and all that. But what
(21:37):
I'm saying is Reggie Collier was way before his time.
And Lamar has the same attributes as that. And each
year Lamar has gotten better and better. And back then,
they didn't know what the hell to do with somebody
like Reggie that can run and throw like that, and
(21:57):
back then all it was where we need know a
pocket passer and everything. Reggie was the first quarterback that
I could recall that can run and throw. I mean
he had run seventy eight yards a touchdown and do
all this. And the coaches back then didn't know and
they were like, well, he's only a runner, right.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
And like Lamar Lamar.
Speaker 14 (22:20):
I've seen Lamar come play here at Southern Myss here
in Hattiesburg, and I saw what he could do. But
it's not only that, but the way he carries himself.
And he's only he. He is not a me first person.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
No, he's not flashy at all. He's laid back, nothing
like show.
Speaker 14 (22:39):
And I get so tired of somebody saying, well, you know,
the black quarterbacks and this, that and the other, and
you know, and I'm a white man. I played. I
played the University of the Mississippi and fifty eight years old,
a few younger years of that. Reggie Collier and Ray
Guy are to our two biggest athletes place list, and
we had Brett as well. But Reggie Collier he was
(23:04):
way before his what.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
We got to check that out, Gene. Yeah, I'm looking
up his SATs right now.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
He ended up doing to the USFL and had a
career there, but yeah, he I'm looking appreciate it. He
was a third over player overall selected USFL back in
eighty three.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, he was. He was apparently that guy back then. Wow,
that's good. Thanks for the knowledge, yep.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
All right, let's get to Martin Whites. We got Tyser
Tower Trivia on the other side.

big mistake because now he's the ROTA and when Rob
has home field advantage, what it's like Lambeau back in
the nineties.
Speaker 1 (25:04):

Licks. Hi, Rob, how are you, buddy? Man? You look great?
Speaker 3 (27:03):

I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Silver, Elijah put that camera back on him.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Silver.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
What I wanted to say, I'm not gonna say because
I know that's not right. But knowing you Ron, there's
always a duality. These are tanhem, these are connected, They're interlocked.
Everything has a reason. That's why you're enshrined. I'm going gold.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Simple, but you can't do that because he's thorough.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Have to be absolutely burn and Ernie Wow, Oh gosh,
all right, Pro Football Hall of Fame Edition, Bernie. I'll
be because Bird had the big nose.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
People dumb.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
One of the coolest parts about the Hall of Fame
process is that when a player gets selected, someone will
literally knock on the blank to tell them.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Alex out let me. Alex and Rob? Are you ready?
What pair your couple? My goodness, you're just jealous because
you don't have a connection with true workers. I have
a connection with Rob. G Take that, do you? Yes?
When basketball we talked, all right, here we go, Alex.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
That's why he called you Chris my mistake when I'm sorry,
move Rob off your lap.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Hey, Alex, is that a watermelon in your pot?

ain't gonna make it. Are you ready to host the
show starting next week? Watermelon water? First of all, you're
the biggest watermelon patch ever. Like, how many watermelon my
guys here?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
So the best part about it was he didn't bring
any watermelon to any of the black and boards.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Because he ain't wanted to be offending exactly exactly.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
The rest of the world. We're the only ones who
eat watermelon.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Somehow we got to everybody in the world of fried chicken.
Some how it's only black people.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
All right, here we go, alright, we're looking for a
knock on the blank to tell okay, all right, Alex,

Speaker 12 (30:24):
Bell?
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Bell? Bell, b E L L correct? Bell, read again bell.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Coolest part about the Hall of Fame process, and when
the player gets selected, someone will literally knock on the
blank to tell.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
Them, knock on the blank, bell, what do you do? Bell?
Speaker 10 (30:42):
