we are the Eye Couple, Chris and Rob coming you
live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. We got trolling,
the rolling with Martin now Martin White later on in
the hour. And of course it's a trash talking Tuesday,
(00:42):
so get your takes ready. You have thirty to forty
seconds to trash anyone or anything in the world of sports,
so come correct with that. But right now we know
the NFL season is upon us, folks. Thursday night, Tampa
Bay and Dallas open up. Oh I can't wait, I
(01:03):
can't wait. And uh to get us ready. Rob and
I are going to give you our picks. That's right,
every division winner and the wild card teams in each conference.
Let's go AFC West, AFC West. Rob, I have got
(01:25):
Kansas City. That's an easy one. And oh, what do
you got but you mean I'm waiting for the image,
so you want both of us to go a f
C West, I got Kansas City, and aren't you just
doing the whole Who you got? AFC West, I got
the Chiefs AFC East AFC's I got Buffalo. I got Buffalo,
(01:54):
AFC South, I got the Tennessee Titans. I'm gonna pick
the Colts AFC North Cleveland Cleveland. I got the Ravens.
NFC West, NFC West, I got the La Rams, Yes,
(02:17):
I said it. I got the forty nine Ers NFC
East Dallas Big d l A l As. I got
Washington NFC South. Give me the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I
(02:40):
got the Saints NFC North, Green Bay Packers. I got
the pack That's all great, guys, but you know there
are seven teams in each conference that make the playoffs
and we only got four. So we're need your wild
card picks for the AFC, starting with you, Chris Bruce
or Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Cults, And in a shocker to some,
(03:08):
the New England Patriots, Yes, Matt Jones leads them to
the playoffs. Rob Parker, great, uh, let's see Rob Parker
I'm gonna say the Browns, the Titans, and the Raiders. Wow,
that's right, John Gruden. Do you know why I'm going
(03:33):
there is that they have to win this ship. This
is big for John Gruden, and they've started well and
not have haven't been able to finish the job. I'm
gonna pick the Raiders to make the plant bad. So
the only difference you guys have in the playoffs is
the Patriots and the Raiders. Other than that, you have
all the same teams just different. Well, I mean it's
it's pretty you know what, Rob g I hate to
(03:55):
be like cookie cutter, but looking at these teams and
just it looks pretty obvious to me. I think the
better teams I think this year, I think the division
the only division well of the Buffalo we agreed on seven, right,
everybody but New England, As you said in the Raiders,
(04:16):
I think personally, I think Indianapolis, even though I picked them,
I think they're a question mark. Obviously New England could
be a question mark, and the Raiders could be a
question mark. Like I think Denver's gonna be better than
people think. And I think Pittsburgh. I really think they
have a shot at the playoffs, like, I think they're
(04:36):
gonna be better than people expect that that's just what
Mike Tomlin does. And uh but yeah, I mean I
went with my seven. I feel good about I really
feel good about New England because that defense is gonna
be really good. Dante high Tower is back, Kyle Kyle
(04:56):
van Noy is back, Matt Judin is there, the offensive
line is great. I think the running game is gonna
be strong, and Matt Jones is a good decision mak
He's gonna have his ups and downs like any rookie,
but I think he's just gonna manage the game and
he can make some big plays here and there. So
(05:17):
I like New England and Bill. Look, I've always I'll
be there for a smart for this show. Rob. You
know they've I've been. I've highlighted the fact that he's
missed the playoffs seven of the eight years he hadn't
had time Brady. But I think this would be a
second year that he makes it without Brady. Yeah, I
don't know. I just rookie quarterback. I don't know what
(05:37):
to expect. I really don't. And I just think that
the Raiders have more on the line. I mean there's
some Mike Mayock. Even if they don't get rid of Chucky,
you know, it's not gonna be People aren't gonna be
satisfied with four straight years right of not making the playoffs.
And last year, I don't know, rob g where were
(05:58):
they offensively? They were they offensive? Offense has never been
the defense. That's what I'm saying. Like they score points
and they just weren't able to finish the job. So
I just I don't know that was That's one of
my little wildcat picks. But I'm gonna go with the Raiders.
All right. We move on now to the NFC. This
(06:18):
one's a little bit tougher to call Chris your wild
card teams in the NFC, I've got two teams of
two wildcard teams from the NFC West, which I think
is the toughest division in the league. So I got
San Francisco and Seattle joining the Rams in the playoffs
from that division. And then New Orleans. I said, I
(06:38):
think Jameis Winston's gonna shock some people and have a
very good year, And so I got in. New Orleans
is eight and one in the last two years without
Drew Brees. So people are sleeping on them. I think
they're gonna be woke, awoken in a violent fashion. I
think this is the year that Seattle falls off. I'm
not picking them to make the playoffs. I'm gonna go
(07:01):
with the Rams based on their defense. I'm gonna put
them in the playoffs. I'm gonna go with the Bucks.
Hard to repeat, but they're good enough to make the playoffs.
And what do I need? One more? Right? One more
wildcard team? Yep. I'm gonna pick the Minnesota Vikings. I
(07:23):
think they're gonna be they got a shot. I don't
know what happened last year. They were awful every game,
like they were supposed to win. You know, they just
couldn't do it. And you know that it's all about
defense with the Vikings, and they were just god awful
a year ago defensively. I don't know where they ranked. Again,
(07:44):
we only well, we disagree on two teams, right, Washington
and Minnesota? Correct? Right? Ye? No love for Martin Weiss's
Arizona Cardinals. Huh man, Yeah, I remember that Martin store
on himselves last time out. Remember that. I'm hoping he'll
(08:04):
make another Jordan bad That's easy, easy money, Rob, You
got any But I'm curious some of your how about
I mean, I still gotta pick. We still gotta finish off, right,
we still got anticipation build. Just want to ask you
about wild card, rob g wild card? Okay, your wild cards? Well,
(08:25):
I would have had differences with us. Yeah, well I
would have had Dallas winning their division. I think that
having the best quarterback is usually a good sign for
any team if you're in a division where there's no
clear and obvious favorite. To me, has the better defense,
though see Washington has a better defense. Didn't really have
a quarterback. It was all over the place last year.
(08:46):
I don't know if that's the only reason why you
believe in Fitzpatrick. I just think that he'll work for
a while with that. But that defense four really good? Yeah,
week four Tyler Hinnicky Taylor, Well, see, I actually have
both of the teams in the playoffs. I have one
of them. I have two teams coming from the NFC,
and here's the man only pushed back with Chris. Chris
(09:06):
has three teams from the NFC West. I think that
division is going to cannibalize itself every There's gonna be
no easy victory right in any of those games. So
you can see all three teams at like nine and
seven heading into week seventeen because they all beat up
on each other. I think one of them is gonna
have a big record all right in the NFC. In
(09:28):
the NFC, I have got Washington Boys winning in the division,
and then Washington got Washington Seattle and New Orleans. Yeah,
everybody likes New Orleans. I do too. I think that
New Orleans can be good. Well New Orleans. You know
it's sneakily the last two years. I know Drew Brees
gets all the pub is. They've been a defensive team
the last two right. Oh no, they went through a
(09:50):
stretch last year through four or five games what the
average giving up like eight points. Go back in the
middle of the season. They were good. And they've got
one of the best football players of all Tims M.
Taysom Hill. He doesn't even start. They are that the
best player doesn't even start. Amazing. And on that note,
it's time for the couple AFC. You didn't give us,
(10:13):
you just did want you want. My FC picks team
down Wild Cars while picking the Raiders to make the playoffs. Homer.
How am I a Homer? Because you know, good and well,
they ain't making them as doing well, okay, wi picking
them as Hey, you know what, they were like two
players away from winning you know, ten games last year.
You've been saying that for eight years. Yeah, it's still true.
(10:36):
I got the Raiders, I have the Cleveland Browns, and
I had the New England Patriots. So you got Baltimore
winning in the division and Buffalo ye yep, right, okay,
all right, New England you're with me, all right. And
on that note, Miami nobody picked Miami. Nobody trust to expect.
You don't know what to expect. Down We don't don't
(10:56):
have any confidence in either. That's a bad part of
short quarterbacks. All right, super Bowl, here we go in
the rare rematch. I have got Tampa Bay getting out
of the NFC again, and I have got Kansas City
(11:18):
getting out of the AFC again. I think the Chiefs
are on the mission. They remind me. Their mindset reminds
me of San Antonio after they lost that championship to
Miami in twenty thirteen in the NBA Finals and came
back with a vengeance. And I believe Kansas City wants
(11:42):
Tampa Bay and they'll get them, and this time the
Chiefs will prevail. So I got Kansas City over Tampa
Bay in a rematch. If Kansas City doesn't win, does
that change anything with my homes if they don't get
to the super Bowl or don't win. As far as
what him being Michael Jordan, No, I mean he's not
(12:05):
Michael Jordan yet, but he still got plenty of time,
So no, I'm just Jordon didn't win it every year year,
So yeah, I definitely won't win it every year. You know,
teams don't. They're so hard to get back and repeat.
It will not be to the same two teams from
a year. Just very hard to do. In the NFL,
too many things happen. I'm gonna go with the Ravens
(12:27):
and the Packers and the super Bowl. That's my pick,
with Aaron Rodgers winning a super Bowl on his way
out of Green Bay, and that'll be the way he
puts a bowl on that and moves forward and then
he's free to go wherever he wants. So that's gonna
be the big storyline. And Lamar gets out of the
AFC finally, So there it is. I'm going way off
(12:48):
the board the Packers and the raven Way off the board. Yeah,
with the Packers's not the big pick. That's everybody's picking
up the everybody's picking the Rams. Were picking the Rams,
some are picking the pack some are picking Tampa Bay.
It's mostly Tampa Bay in the Rams. The stuff that
(13:10):
I've seen. Who you picking, Rob g what's your Super
Bowl pick? I got the Kansas City Chieftains and the
La Rams. Why look at you? He's a Stafford guy. Yeah,
I'm a big stat Bafford guy. Wow. So who you
got winning? I have the Rams winning it? Wow? Look
at you? So yesterday you were just smart man, Peter,
(13:33):
you were just There's certain things that travel well no
matter what time of year, no matter what stadium. And
that's defense. And I don't trust the Chiefs defense. I
don't trust Green Bay's defense and Tampa Bay. It's just really,
like Rob said, it's very very very unlikely for teams
to repeat his champion. So that's the last team gets
(13:54):
who The last quarterback to do it was Tom Brady
about fifteen years ago. He's better now. It's been a
long time, right, he's better now and he wasn't. But
they got looked at the first team in the salary
cap Era to return all twenty two starters so that
we will see it's gonna be an exciting year and
uh we will see who ends up being right. All right.
(14:17):
As we said, it's a trash talking Tuesday, So get
your takes ready. You got thirty forty seconds to trash
anyone or anything in the world of sports. And coming
up though, we're about to get into it, Tom Brady
talks about Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles. Yes, you don't
(14:39):

Nielsen report limitations do apply, all right, Tom Brady Rod
(15:24):
was asked recently, he spoke with USA Today about you know,
what's been going on with Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles.
You know, Simone obviously had her issues at the Olympics,
pulled out of a few of the events citing her
mental health. And Naomi Osaka, you know, has really it's
(15:47):
been a rough year for her. She didn't participate in
the French Open because she didn't want to speak to
the media, and then she was just upset here in
the US Open and afterwards said she's not getting any
more joy even out of winning. She's just getting relief,
and she's really sad and when she loses, and so
(16:07):
she says she doesn't know when she'll be back on
the tennis court. So Brady was asked about it. Rob
g give us what Brady said when asked about these
two great female athletes. Well, obviously being Tom Brady's very presidential,
he was very understanding to both Naomio Sakansam Mumbaio aw
(16:29):
shucks throughout most of the interview. But one thing he
did say that's getting a little bit attraction here. He said, quote,
wins and losses are important for all of us. And
performing at our best. For me, it's always been not
trying to let people down. That's been a great motivator
for me in my career. I know my teammates work hard,
and all the coaches work hard. I always want to
(16:51):
feel like I put my team in a position to
be successful. So that's a big part of my motivation.
I probably would have never done well in individual sport.
There's different psychological challenges for those two. So I have
a great group of teammates. I rely on them to
help me when I'm not where I want to be.
That's just a blessing about playing team sports. I admire
(17:13):
the people that can deal with them individually, and it's
definitely a challenge. So rob do you think that playing
individuals and individual sport gymnastics, tennis, boxing, whatever it may be,
is tougher mentally one the participant than playing a team
(17:33):
sport where you can rely on your teammates. Well, I mean,
obviously whatever there is other people around and others. You know,
it's not totally on you. There's not going to be
nearly as much pressure. But I mean so many people
have gone through that and been able to handle it
and do it. I just I'm not so sure if
it's yet another excuse on why things are to I
(17:57):
don't know. I just feel weird about you know, God
are great boxers, Chris and tennis players, and a lot
of these people have been doing it for a long time, right,
who who've done it? And now all of a sudden
it seems like it's like impossible to do by yourself
and there's so much pressure. I think that's internal, like
to put too much pressure on yourself instead of what
(18:19):
they always say, just go out and be natural and
just do what you do, right, have fun at it.
What do they always say, Chris, have fun? Just go
out and have fun, And you're telling wise to that
that's easier said than done. Oh I know, but but
the city and go well, oh, it's all it's impossible
to play tennis because you're only you're out there by
yourself to everybody's play tennis that way. I don't I
(18:41):
don't know what the answer is. Well, so I think
you brought it to another place. So you you brought
it to Why are you know, like Samone Biles and
and Naomi Osaka kind of pulling out of events because
of the pressure, the anxiety, the strain. Um. Yeah. I mean, look,
(19:04):
when you play professional professional sports, I mean, let's face it,
there's even pressure. I felt pressure playing high school sports
and college sports. Did you really there's pressure? What was
the pressure Chris to like like your best to come down? Yeah,
I mean just pressure to you know, play well. Yeah.
(19:26):
I mean that that's now you deal with it. I
mean if you can't deal with pressure at any level,
you can't play sports. Yeah. But yeah, my, my, my.
The reason I say that is is you know too,
going in you can't. You're not gonna be perfect. You're
not gonna get a hit every time up. You're not
gonna run rush for two hundred yards, do you know
what I mean? Like, like a part of that has
(19:48):
to be a part of your psyche, right, that that
it's not going to be Chris. If you play baseball
and you get three hits and ten at bats seven times,
you're failing. You know that going in to be good? Right?
I think rob and and looks SMA. She has played
or I don't know what the term would be, but
she's performed and competed through injuries and a lot of
(20:11):
different types of things. So she's obviously exhibited mental toughness
in the past. But I think Rob that when I
was coming up, you knew sports was gonna be tough,
whether it was your teammates or your coaches jumping on
you like that was expect Adversity was expected, and adversity
(20:34):
is a part of sports. It wasn't supposed to be easy.
And I think sometimes people this discussion, people are thinking
out because there's adversity, because there's pushback, because there's an opposition,
I don't like it, and that's just not how life
or sports is. And so like we did see and
(20:57):
you and I have talked about like if Adi, I say,
Wilder pulled out of his fight right before he's fighting
Tyson Fury on his way to the ring, or after
the way in, or even a day or two before,
like because he didn't feel good, he didn't feel like
he had it. Oh, I mean, he would get destroyed.
And we saw that Rob in No Moss, No Moss, right,
(21:22):
Roberto Duran just couldn't take it anymore in the ring,
No Moss, and what happened he was shaming. I get it.
That was a long time ago, but if somebody did
that today, it would be the same thing. Oh yeah,
don't you think you quit? Yeah, it darned near. I
mean he was an all time great who was able
to bounce back to some degree. But still Rob when
(21:45):
you think of Roberto Duran, that might be the first
thing people think about it. I gotta beyond it with me,
and I think in you cover box and so you
were into it certainly at some point with me really
being in the boxing. For me, I don't that's not
(22:07):
the first thing I think. I do think he was
a great fighter, hands of stone, all that, but it's
right like in the second paragraph, you know, like, but
he the No Moss fight, So it's uh. I do
think with Brady saying it's tougher when you're in an
individual sport because you don't have your teammates to rely on.
(22:28):
I get that, but here's what I counter with Rob.
When you are playing a team sport, you also have
the pressure, if you want to call it that, of
letting your teammates down. Like if I'm an individual boxer,
tennis player, track athlete, whatever, I'm just it's just myself
and if I blow it, then I've let myself down.
(22:51):
But I don't have to worry about letting down my teammates. Like,
let's look at a kicker, right, if a kicker goes
out there and miss a thirty yarder, thirty five yarder
at the end of the game that could have won
a playoff game, think of how his teammates. You gotta
deal with how your teammates and coaches are looking at you.
You know what I'm saying. So I think pressure in
(23:14):
sports is pretty much the same all the way around.
It just comes in different forms, right, I agree. I
don't think that it's just the individual. I think when
you hold the key to other people, Chris say, you're
you're the closer in the World Series. You can't get
the final lot, right, good people, you don't think that.
You don't think this pressure absolutely, And like you said,
(23:37):
it's not just you letting yourself down. Is you letting
your teammates down? And we saw that just last year. Yep.
How do you think these guys feel that that blew it?
You know in big games? So good, good topic, good conversation.
Maybe we'll revisit that at another time, but we got
trolling and rolling with Martin White's coming up next. But
(23:58):

I got news for you. It's a trash talking Tuesday.
Why be careful, it ain't a trolling a rolling Tuesday.
(25:28):
Goodness gracious, all right, I'll were looking for that crazy
bet too. You backing out of that Jacksonville stuff you
were talking about. I need to know, Chris, if you
learn how odds work, you're on the show now this
is I need you to learn how gambling works. If
you all have depension about that bet, it goes all right?
(25:50):
Can we go on with this? All right? He took
so much smack, but when it comes down, he's soiled.
Don't change from out of Vegas. I don't know how
odds work. It's crazy to think it has nothing to
do with that to just have a regular betther da Vegas.
Stop talking about Vegas. This is a man the man bet.
(26:11):
I want to hear about no line gamble. That's ridiculous.
Oh man, that's just because you ain't in Vegas. They't
no house schools. You want? What are you betting? What?
If you want to yell about gamble? The whole time
you want to do. What do you want? It's your head.
Go ahead, like you got five minutes ahead. We'll get
(26:34):
through two of these. Go ahead. Yeah, I wait. The
Ravens man that undefeated preseason, but they definitely didn't get
out without taking any losses. Absolutely two running back in
four week one, we just heard Rob say the Baltimore
Ravens signed lady On Bell and reports are he will
soon be elevated to the fifty three man roster. Chris
(26:54):
total rolling, Lady Yard will be an impact player for
the raining trolling. Hey, look, I'm sorry, I think lay
Fan's done. Leavian hasn't had a good season since like
twenty seventeen. He had an average more than four yards
of carry since twenty sixteen. He took a lot of punishment.
(27:15):
He was great in Pittsburgh, but he carried the ball
a lot, and he caught a lot of passes, and
he took a lot of licks. And I thought he's
gonna be good last year in Kansas City in a
revitalized season, but he wasn't. And so I don't expect
much from Levion. Yeah, I'm trolling this too. I'm just man, Hey,
(27:35):
I'm just not buying into it, you know. I mean,
this is late in the game and it took two
people to be injured for him to even get a look.
So that tells you all you need to know. Troller
rolland Odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. The Monday Night
Football broadcast will be different this year. First, it's gonna
be a final cast with Peyton and Elon Many, but
(27:56):
also Canadian rapper Drake will be collaborate with Monday Night
Football to cerate the music for the show. Now, Rob
Drake is already up it. Every A final, every NBA
finals event. Are you trolling our Rolling Drake getting involved
with Monday Night Football? I'm trolling it. Oh man, hey, hey, hey, hey,
(28:21):
you know how you know how many times Monday Night
Football has tried this, from Dennis Miller to Rush Limball,
They've tried over and over and over to try to
reinvent the wheel. We just want to watch the game.
Can we just watch the game? Why do we need
to have a simulcast and the Manning brothers doing their
own version of it? Whatever happened to the Just put
(28:44):
the game on. Let us hear all right, whoever the
announcers are and move on. If it's a stinker of
a game, we turn the channel. If it's a good game,
we watch it. We're not watching it for Drake. I
hate to break it to you. Hey, you kids, get
off my along, all right. Let me ask you this, Martin,
for clarity. Is Drake just doing a song or is
(29:07):
he actually gonna be like commentating. No, he's not comment No,
he's not commentating. But he's supposed to be like curating
the essentially the composer of monder that football. So going
in out of breaks, it'll be his music or music
that he picks, like you know, under highlight package, so
on and so forth. He'll be Okay, I'm rolling with that. Yeah,
(29:30):
I mean, I think that's a good role for Drake
if he just choosing the music in and out of
the breaks. Some of them will be his stuff, some
of it the other stuff. I don't really need to
see him up there rapping, you know, at the top
of the show. I mean, you know, maybe that would
be good too, But yeah, I mean that role, I'm fine.
I don't want him commentating. I don't want them him
(29:50):
making light you know, like Snoop does with these celebrity
boxing matches, which is great for that, but I don't
need that with Monday Night Football. So I'm cool with
that if that's what Drake's doing. All right, let's get
this last one. Can you squeeze it in, Martin, squeeze
it in? We got trash talking quid because Tom Brady one.
But I just know that I feel like this is
(30:10):
the first time in the history of national radio that
one person mentioned Dennis Miller, Rush Limbaugh and Drake all
in the same sentence, like that's got to be a
trium having comment they all failed at Monday Night Football.
How's that? There's a few others you could throw in there,
(30:32):
but will be nice. But you you remember that, don't you?
You don't remember Dennis Miller and Rush Limball was a
decide Rush was with, wasn't in the Sunday studio show? Ye? Yeah,
it was definitely Monday Night, right, And and Tony Corneiser
was put in on the booth in Monday Night Football.
(30:52):
Dennis Miller just to me, that was that was the
biggest read Martin. You don't remember that. You were too young, right? No? Actually,
I'm almost positive I remember Dennis. I'm trying to remember
if I remember Dennis Miller or Tony Kornheiser in the
Monday Night Football. It was Dennis Miller that I remember,
but I'm hoping that remember Rush Limball on Sunday NFL Country.
(31:17):
That's when Limball, Hey lasted was a week the last
I don't know if it was that, but it wasn't
that long. And you want to remember they were looking
at all his listeners on the radio, thinking that you
could get a push, you know what I mean? Yea, yeah,
but you don't need that for football, Nah, don't. That's
what I mean. People want to watch football. They don't
need that. You don't need all that. And Dennis Miller,
(31:39):
first of all, I don't think you bring in a
comedian and make light of your sport. But Dennis Miller,
I don't think he would have been the comedian you choose,
just because of his style of humor, which he can
be funny at times, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it's just it's just a sordcast. I don't know I
describe it, but I remember about my Mark we got
a roll this Dennis Miller blues. I do remember. I
(32:02):
remember my dad watching it and saying, Howard Cosell was
turning over in his grade. Yes, and Howard Cosell was
the best. He was rolling in his grade. All right, Martin,
great stuff. We appreciate your brother. All right. Track Us

Let's start with the Mirror and Philly. We haven't heard
(33:07):
from him in the million years of Mirror. You're on
the Odd Couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you're trashing?
What's up? Rob? What's up? Chris? You know? Listen? Just
to start the season off, right, you're gonna love me
for this. I'm trashing Tom Brady. All right, yeah, Chris,
your boy Tom, he isn't gonna happen. Bill Belichick and
(33:29):
a minetarian season, the Savings, Bacon and guess what, Chris?
That defense and short lightning the bottom last year. That
ain't gonna happen again this year. Chris hecky, No, no way, nowhere.
Hell listen, it's over for Tom Booty. I can't wait. Rob,
you got to kill him this year. All right, we
(33:49):
got your mirror. Appreciate you, man. It was ridiculous, but
well said the mirror. I give you props. Yes, we
love it. All right. Jake in Dallas, you're in the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Hey, Jake, who you're trashing?
I'm trashing you. Rob What do you? What are you doing? Robert?
You okay? So you said last week that you're out here.
(34:11):
You are the guy that's not putting back the shopping
carts into the into the shopping cartslout. What have you
have you ever worked? Have you ever worked as a clerk.
It's a pain in the bones for anybody to be
doing that. I did this job up in Wisconsin, when
(34:36):
it's zero degrees out and I have to be chasing
carts around. This is this is this? You are that
guy that's not helping out to improve society, move society
forward with this kind of stuff. Come on, Rob, I
got you, Jake, probably I was. I was a bagger
(34:58):
at the grocery store. I so love that. Get so
you should really, you should really be ashamed that take
you had then. I was definitely if you worked at
the grocery store, I did. I worked at the A
and P. Chris, you know that in the old days.
Hey Max and Georgia. My man, you're on the A
couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you're trash? And Max?
What's up? My guy? I'm trash in the NFL Players Union, Cam,
(35:21):
you wanted to do the dab, now you're wanting not
to do the jab. I'm not anty backs. I'm pro facts.
But figures can lie and liars can figure. Cam get
out of there rather than sit and simmer. Don't forget.
It's about being a winner. Don't lose sight. It's all
pro choice and pro voice. I appreciate you guy. Look
(35:45):
at Max dropping backs that that was well okay, nice,
that was well done and now I think Chris we
got Mason san Diego. I'm probably gonna rip Dennis Miller
or time with Cosell right called Korea. Yeah, I'm actually
a fan of Dennis Miller, believe it or not. I'm
(36:05):
the only one on the minority outside. But you're you're
in the eye couple who you trash? No trash the
New York Jets because I freaking hate his team. This
team unequivocally has the stupid at san Chan live by
their unofficial mascot fireman. Ad What this does that make
(36:27):
to have a fireman for the mascot instead of having
something that pertains to a jet like a pilot. That's
like the mascot of the Carolina Panthers being represented by
a real life janitor. This organization is so bad the
military should sue them for using the name of the Jets.
And don't get me started the ugly throwback uniforms they
wore from next ninety eight till twenty eighteen, especially all
white road uniforms. It looks like Tidy White's with green
(36:49):
skid marks. Not to mention, this team is responsible for
the nformis Buck Fumble orchestrated by Mark Sanchez. Let's not
forget about the genius hiring of Rich toe Tight, a
rich uptight who at four to twenty eight to two
seasons as head coach Way to Go Jets. He certainly
kicked and in from Bartie and sadly Bill Belichick's resigned
(37:10):
to day after being hired as head coach. That's not terrible.
This organization is because even Belichick knew all his cheating
tactics was his bottom of the borough organization would still
find ways the annual losers. And since dam Darnold was
caught saying he was seeing ghost thing Monday night football
last year, maybe use that to your advantage and talk
of the ghost of former Jets head coach. We've e
back to give you a reality checks. What do you know?
(37:30):
How bad you and your team? Shuck? Wow? I love
May like he's he's doing football this coming season. Almost
follow on my chair, Chris. I know that you're talking
about the Jets. He did something from this century and
that's not an exaggeration. Most of what he does is
(37:51):
from the twentieth century. We'll take it, no doubt. Yeah,
May's good job. Do we have any time to feel
that we know? More time to rack one in good
job based. Why do I feel though like every take
Mace does he did he's done on the gym Rome
show You think so? Yeah, and he did it twenty
(38:13):
years ago. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's got a file
cabinet with all of his takes from the past. But
what make we appreciate you? We appreciate, Yes, we did.

we are the Eye Couple, Chris and Rob coming you
live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. We got trolling,
the rolling with Martin now Martin White later on in
the hour. And of course it's a trash talking Tuesday,
(00:42):
so get your takes ready. You have thirty to forty
seconds to trash anyone or anything in the world of sports,
so come correct with that. But right now we know
the NFL season is upon us, folks. Thursday night, Tampa
Bay and Dallas open up. Oh I can't wait, I
(01:03):
can't wait. And uh to get us ready. Rob and
I are going to give you our picks. That's right,
every division winner and the wild card teams in each conference.
Let's go AFC West, AFC West. Rob, I have got
(01:25):
Kansas City. That's an easy one. And oh, what do
you got but you mean I'm waiting for the image,
so you want both of us to go a f
C West, I got Kansas City, and aren't you just
doing the whole Who you got? AFC West, I got
the Chiefs AFC East AFC's I got Buffalo. I got Buffalo,
(01:54):
AFC South, I got the Tennessee Titans. I'm gonna pick
the Colts AFC North Cleveland Cleveland. I got the Ravens.
NFC West, NFC West, I got the La Rams, Yes,
(02:17):
I said it. I got the forty nine Ers NFC
East Dallas Big d l A l As. I got
Washington NFC South. Give me the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I
(02:40):
got the Saints NFC North, Green Bay Packers. I got
the pack That's all great, guys, but you know there
are seven teams in each conference that make the playoffs
and we only got four. So we're need your wild
card picks for the AFC, starting with you, Chris Bruce
or Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Cults, And in a shocker to some,
(03:08):
the New England Patriots, Yes, Matt Jones leads them to
the playoffs. Rob Parker, great, uh, let's see Rob Parker
I'm gonna say the Browns, the Titans, and the Raiders. Wow,
that's right, John Gruden. Do you know why I'm going
(03:33):
there is that they have to win this ship. This
is big for John Gruden, and they've started well and
not have haven't been able to finish the job. I'm
gonna pick the Raiders to make the plant bad. So
the only difference you guys have in the playoffs is
the Patriots and the Raiders. Other than that, you have
all the same teams just different. Well, I mean it's
it's pretty you know what, Rob g I hate to
(03:55):
be like cookie cutter, but looking at these teams and
just it looks pretty obvious to me. I think the
better teams I think this year, I think the division
the only division well of the Buffalo we agreed on seven, right,
everybody but New England, As you said in the Raiders,
(04:16):
I think personally, I think Indianapolis, even though I picked them,
I think they're a question mark. Obviously New England could
be a question mark, and the Raiders could be a
question mark. Like I think Denver's gonna be better than
people think. And I think Pittsburgh. I really think they
have a shot at the playoffs, like, I think they're
(04:36):
gonna be better than people expect that that's just what
Mike Tomlin does. And uh but yeah, I mean I
went with my seven. I feel good about I really
feel good about New England because that defense is gonna
be really good. Dante high Tower is back, Kyle Kyle
(04:56):
van Noy is back, Matt Judin is there, the offensive
line is great. I think the running game is gonna
be strong, and Matt Jones is a good decision mak
He's gonna have his ups and downs like any rookie,
but I think he's just gonna manage the game and
he can make some big plays here and there. So
(05:17):
I like New England and Bill. Look, I've always I'll
be there for a smart for this show. Rob. You
know they've I've been. I've highlighted the fact that he's
missed the playoffs seven of the eight years he hadn't
had time Brady. But I think this would be a
second year that he makes it without Brady. Yeah, I
don't know. I just rookie quarterback. I don't know what
(05:37):
to expect. I really don't. And I just think that
the Raiders have more on the line. I mean there's
some Mike Mayock. Even if they don't get rid of Chucky,
you know, it's not gonna be People aren't gonna be
satisfied with four straight years right of not making the playoffs.
And last year, I don't know, rob g where were
(05:58):
they offensively? They were they offensive? Offense has never been
the defense. That's what I'm saying. Like they score points
and they just weren't able to finish the job. So
I just I don't know that was That's one of
my little wildcat picks. But I'm gonna go with the Raiders.
All right. We move on now to the NFC. This
(06:18):
one's a little bit tougher to call Chris your wild
card teams in the NFC, I've got two teams of
two wildcard teams from the NFC West, which I think
is the toughest division in the league. So I got
San Francisco and Seattle joining the Rams in the playoffs
from that division. And then New Orleans. I said, I
(06:38):
think Jameis Winston's gonna shock some people and have a
very good year, And so I got in. New Orleans
is eight and one in the last two years without
Drew Brees. So people are sleeping on them. I think
they're gonna be woke, awoken in a violent fashion. I
think this is the year that Seattle falls off. I'm
not picking them to make the playoffs. I'm gonna go
(07:01):
with the Rams based on their defense. I'm gonna put
them in the playoffs. I'm gonna go with the Bucks.
Hard to repeat, but they're good enough to make the playoffs.
And what do I need? One more? Right? One more
wildcard team? Yep. I'm gonna pick the Minnesota Vikings. I
(07:23):
think they're gonna be they got a shot. I don't
know what happened last year. They were awful every game,
like they were supposed to win. You know, they just
couldn't do it. And you know that it's all about
defense with the Vikings, and they were just god awful
a year ago defensively. I don't know where they ranked. Again,
(07:44):
we only well, we disagree on two teams, right, Washington
and Minnesota? Correct? Right? Ye? No love for Martin Weiss's
Arizona Cardinals. Huh man, Yeah, I remember that Martin store
on himselves last time out. Remember that. I'm hoping he'll
(08:04):
make another Jordan bad That's easy, easy money, Rob, You
got any But I'm curious some of your how about
I mean, I still gotta pick. We still gotta finish off, right,
we still got anticipation build. Just want to ask you
about wild card, rob g wild card? Okay, your wild cards? Well,
(08:25):
I would have had differences with us. Yeah, well I
would have had Dallas winning their division. I think that
having the best quarterback is usually a good sign for
any team if you're in a division where there's no
clear and obvious favorite. To me, has the better defense,
though see Washington has a better defense. Didn't really have
a quarterback. It was all over the place last year.
(08:46):
I don't know if that's the only reason why you
believe in Fitzpatrick. I just think that he'll work for
a while with that. But that defense four really good? Yeah,
week four Tyler Hinnicky Taylor, Well, see, I actually have
both of the teams in the playoffs. I have one
of them. I have two teams coming from the NFC,
and here's the man only pushed back with Chris. Chris
(09:06):
has three teams from the NFC West. I think that
division is going to cannibalize itself every There's gonna be
no easy victory right in any of those games. So
you can see all three teams at like nine and
seven heading into week seventeen because they all beat up
on each other. I think one of them is gonna
have a big record all right in the NFC. In
(09:28):
the NFC, I have got Washington Boys winning in the division,
and then Washington got Washington Seattle and New Orleans. Yeah,
everybody likes New Orleans. I do too. I think that
New Orleans can be good. Well New Orleans. You know
it's sneakily the last two years. I know Drew Brees
gets all the pub is. They've been a defensive team
the last two right. Oh no, they went through a
(09:50):
stretch last year through four or five games what the
average giving up like eight points. Go back in the
middle of the season. They were good. And they've got
one of the best football players of all Tims M.
Taysom Hill. He doesn't even start. They are that the
best player doesn't even start. Amazing. And on that note,
it's time for the couple AFC. You didn't give us,
(10:13):
you just did want you want. My FC picks team
down Wild Cars while picking the Raiders to make the playoffs. Homer.
How am I a Homer? Because you know, good and well,
they ain't making them as doing well, okay, wi picking
them as Hey, you know what, they were like two
players away from winning you know, ten games last year.
You've been saying that for eight years. Yeah, it's still true.
(10:36):
I got the Raiders, I have the Cleveland Browns, and
I had the New England Patriots. So you got Baltimore
winning in the division and Buffalo ye yep, right, okay,
all right, New England you're with me, all right. And
on that note, Miami nobody picked Miami. Nobody trust to expect.
You don't know what to expect. Down We don't don't
(10:56):
have any confidence in either. That's a bad part of
short quarterbacks. All right, super Bowl, here we go in
the rare rematch. I have got Tampa Bay getting out
of the NFC again, and I have got Kansas City
(11:18):
getting out of the AFC again. I think the Chiefs
are on the mission. They remind me. Their mindset reminds
me of San Antonio after they lost that championship to
Miami in twenty thirteen in the NBA Finals and came
back with a vengeance. And I believe Kansas City wants
(11:42):
Tampa Bay and they'll get them, and this time the
Chiefs will prevail. So I got Kansas City over Tampa
Bay in a rematch. If Kansas City doesn't win, does
that change anything with my homes if they don't get
to the super Bowl or don't win. As far as
what him being Michael Jordan, No, I mean he's not
(12:05):
Michael Jordan yet, but he still got plenty of time,
So no, I'm just Jordon didn't win it every year year,
So yeah, I definitely won't win it every year. You know,
teams don't. They're so hard to get back and repeat.
It will not be to the same two teams from
a year. Just very hard to do. In the NFL,
too many things happen. I'm gonna go with the Ravens
(12:27):
and the Packers and the super Bowl. That's my pick,
with Aaron Rodgers winning a super Bowl on his way
out of Green Bay, and that'll be the way he
puts a bowl on that and moves forward and then
he's free to go wherever he wants. So that's gonna
be the big storyline. And Lamar gets out of the
AFC finally, So there it is. I'm going way off
(12:48):
the board the Packers and the raven Way off the board. Yeah,
with the Packers's not the big pick. That's everybody's picking
up the everybody's picking the Rams. Were picking the Rams,
some are picking the pack some are picking Tampa Bay.
It's mostly Tampa Bay in the Rams. The stuff that
(13:10):
I've seen. Who you picking, Rob g what's your Super
Bowl pick? I got the Kansas City Chieftains and the
La Rams. Why look at you? He's a Stafford guy. Yeah,
I'm a big stat Bafford guy. Wow. So who you
got winning? I have the Rams winning it? Wow? Look
at you? So yesterday you were just smart man, Peter,
(13:33):
you were just There's certain things that travel well no
matter what time of year, no matter what stadium. And
that's defense. And I don't trust the Chiefs defense. I
don't trust Green Bay's defense and Tampa Bay. It's just really,
like Rob said, it's very very very unlikely for teams
to repeat his champion. So that's the last team gets
(13:54):
who The last quarterback to do it was Tom Brady
about fifteen years ago. He's better now. It's been a
long time, right, he's better now and he wasn't. But
they got looked at the first team in the salary
cap Era to return all twenty two starters so that
we will see it's gonna be an exciting year and
uh we will see who ends up being right. All right.
(14:17):
As we said, it's a trash talking Tuesday, So get
your takes ready. You got thirty forty seconds to trash
anyone or anything in the world of sports. And coming
up though, we're about to get into it, Tom Brady
talks about Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles. Yes, you don't

Nielsen report limitations do apply, all right, Tom Brady Rod
(15:24):
was asked recently, he spoke with USA Today about you know,
what's been going on with Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles.
You know, Simone obviously had her issues at the Olympics,
pulled out of a few of the events citing her
mental health. And Naomi Osaka, you know, has really it's
(15:47):
been a rough year for her. She didn't participate in
the French Open because she didn't want to speak to
the media, and then she was just upset here in
the US Open and afterwards said she's not getting any
more joy even out of winning. She's just getting relief,
and she's really sad and when she loses, and so
(16:07):
she says she doesn't know when she'll be back on
the tennis court. So Brady was asked about it. Rob
g give us what Brady said when asked about these
two great female athletes. Well, obviously being Tom Brady's very presidential,
he was very understanding to both Naomio Sakansam Mumbaio aw
(16:29):
shucks throughout most of the interview. But one thing he
did say that's getting a little bit attraction here. He said, quote,
wins and losses are important for all of us. And
performing at our best. For me, it's always been not
trying to let people down. That's been a great motivator
for me in my career. I know my teammates work hard,
and all the coaches work hard. I always want to
(16:51):
feel like I put my team in a position to
be successful. So that's a big part of my motivation.
I probably would have never done well in individual sport.
There's different psychological challenges for those two. So I have
a great group of teammates. I rely on them to
help me when I'm not where I want to be.
That's just a blessing about playing team sports. I admire
(17:13):
the people that can deal with them individually, and it's
definitely a challenge. So rob do you think that playing
individuals and individual sport gymnastics, tennis, boxing, whatever it may be,
is tougher mentally one the participant than playing a team
(17:33):
sport where you can rely on your teammates. Well, I mean,
obviously whatever there is other people around and others. You know,
it's not totally on you. There's not going to be
nearly as much pressure. But I mean so many people
have gone through that and been able to handle it
and do it. I just I'm not so sure if
it's yet another excuse on why things are to I
(17:57):
don't know. I just feel weird about you know, God
are great boxers, Chris and tennis players, and a lot
of these people have been doing it for a long time, right,
who who've done it? And now all of a sudden
it seems like it's like impossible to do by yourself
and there's so much pressure. I think that's internal, like
to put too much pressure on yourself instead of what
(18:19):
they always say, just go out and be natural and
just do what you do, right, have fun at it.
What do they always say, Chris, have fun? Just go
out and have fun, And you're telling wise to that
that's easier said than done. Oh I know, but but
the city and go well, oh, it's all it's impossible
to play tennis because you're only you're out there by
yourself to everybody's play tennis that way. I don't I
(18:41):
don't know what the answer is. Well, so I think
you brought it to another place. So you you brought
it to Why are you know, like Samone Biles and
and Naomi Osaka kind of pulling out of events because
of the pressure, the anxiety, the strain. Um. Yeah. I mean, look,
(19:04):
when you play professional professional sports, I mean, let's face it,
there's even pressure. I felt pressure playing high school sports
and college sports. Did you really there's pressure? What was
the pressure Chris to like like your best to come down? Yeah,
I mean just pressure to you know, play well. Yeah.
(19:26):
I mean that that's now you deal with it. I
mean if you can't deal with pressure at any level,
you can't play sports. Yeah. But yeah, my, my, my.
The reason I say that is is you know too,
going in you can't. You're not gonna be perfect. You're
not gonna get a hit every time up. You're not
gonna run rush for two hundred yards, do you know
what I mean? Like, like a part of that has
(19:48):
to be a part of your psyche, right, that that
it's not going to be Chris. If you play baseball
and you get three hits and ten at bats seven times,
you're failing. You know that going in to be good? Right?
I think rob and and looks SMA. She has played
or I don't know what the term would be, but
she's performed and competed through injuries and a lot of
(20:11):
different types of things. So she's obviously exhibited mental toughness
in the past. But I think Rob that when I
was coming up, you knew sports was gonna be tough,
whether it was your teammates or your coaches jumping on
you like that was expect Adversity was expected, and adversity
(20:34):
is a part of sports. It wasn't supposed to be easy.
And I think sometimes people this discussion, people are thinking
out because there's adversity, because there's pushback, because there's an opposition,
I don't like it, and that's just not how life
or sports is. And so like we did see and
(20:57):
you and I have talked about like if Adi, I say,
Wilder pulled out of his fight right before he's fighting
Tyson Fury on his way to the ring, or after
the way in, or even a day or two before,
like because he didn't feel good, he didn't feel like
he had it. Oh, I mean, he would get destroyed.
And we saw that Rob in No Moss, No Moss, right,
(21:22):
Roberto Duran just couldn't take it anymore in the ring,
No Moss, and what happened he was shaming. I get it.
That was a long time ago, but if somebody did
that today, it would be the same thing. Oh yeah,
don't you think you quit? Yeah, it darned near. I
mean he was an all time great who was able
to bounce back to some degree. But still Rob when
(21:45):
you think of Roberto Duran, that might be the first
thing people think about it. I gotta beyond it with me,
and I think in you cover box and so you
were into it certainly at some point with me really
being in the boxing. For me, I don't that's not
(22:07):
the first thing I think. I do think he was
a great fighter, hands of stone, all that, but it's
right like in the second paragraph, you know, like, but
he the No Moss fight, So it's uh. I do
think with Brady saying it's tougher when you're in an
individual sport because you don't have your teammates to rely on.
(22:28):
I get that, but here's what I counter with Rob.
When you are playing a team sport, you also have
the pressure, if you want to call it that, of
letting your teammates down. Like if I'm an individual boxer,
tennis player, track athlete, whatever, I'm just it's just myself
and if I blow it, then I've let myself down.
(22:51):
But I don't have to worry about letting down my teammates. Like,
let's look at a kicker, right, if a kicker goes
out there and miss a thirty yarder, thirty five yarder
at the end of the game that could have won
a playoff game, think of how his teammates. You gotta
deal with how your teammates and coaches are looking at you.
You know what I'm saying. So I think pressure in
(23:14):
sports is pretty much the same all the way around.
It just comes in different forms, right, I agree. I
don't think that it's just the individual. I think when
you hold the key to other people, Chris say, you're
you're the closer in the World Series. You can't get
the final lot, right, good people, you don't think that.
You don't think this pressure absolutely, And like you said,
(23:37):
it's not just you letting yourself down. Is you letting
your teammates down? And we saw that just last year. Yep.
How do you think these guys feel that that blew it?
You know in big games? So good, good topic, good conversation.
Maybe we'll revisit that at another time, but we got
trolling and rolling with Martin White's coming up next. But
(23:58):
first be sure to catch live editions of the Odd
Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker weekdays at seven

did not have a Pro Bowl season. China gets me.
It's trolling or Roland Our guys, Robin Chris is trolling,
(25:02):
a rolling Everybody's favorite segment on a Tuesday this week
for the NFL season. If Robin Chris liked the story
that I read. You hear the roll sound. And if
they don't, you hear the troll sound. Oh man, hey, hey, hey,
I got news for you. It's a trash talking Tuesday.
Why be careful, it ain't a trolling a rolling Tuesday.
(25:28):
Goodness gracious, all right, I'll were looking for that crazy
bet too. You backing out of that Jacksonville stuff you
were talking about. I need to know, Chris, if you
learn how odds work, you're on the show now this
is I need you to learn how gambling works. If
you all have depension about that bet, it goes all right?
(25:50):
Can we go on with this? All right? He took
so much smack, but when it comes down, he's soiled.
Don't change from out of Vegas. I don't know how
odds work. It's crazy to think it has nothing to
do with that to just have a regular betther da Vegas.
Stop talking about Vegas. This is a man the man bet.
(26:11):
I want to hear about no line gamble. That's ridiculous.
Oh man, that's just because you ain't in Vegas. They't
no house schools. You want? What are you betting? What?
If you want to yell about gamble? The whole time
you want to do. What do you want? It's your head.
Go ahead, like you got five minutes ahead. We'll get
(26:34):
through two of these. Go ahead. Yeah, I wait. The
Ravens man that undefeated preseason, but they definitely didn't get
out without taking any losses. Absolutely two running back in
four week one, we just heard Rob say the Baltimore
Ravens signed lady On Bell and reports are he will
soon be elevated to the fifty three man roster. Chris
(26:54):
total rolling, Lady Yard will be an impact player for
the raining trolling. Hey, look, I'm sorry, I think lay
Fan's done. Leavian hasn't had a good season since like
twenty seventeen. He had an average more than four yards
of carry since twenty sixteen. He took a lot of punishment.
(27:15):
He was great in Pittsburgh, but he carried the ball
a lot, and he caught a lot of passes, and
he took a lot of licks. And I thought he's
gonna be good last year in Kansas City in a
revitalized season, but he wasn't. And so I don't expect
much from Levion. Yeah, I'm trolling this too. I'm just man, Hey,
(27:35):
I'm just not buying into it, you know. I mean,
this is late in the game and it took two
people to be injured for him to even get a look.
So that tells you all you need to know. Troller
rolland Odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. The Monday Night
Football broadcast will be different this year. First, it's gonna
be a final cast with Peyton and Elon Many, but
(27:56):
also Canadian rapper Drake will be collaborate with Monday Night
Football to cerate the music for the show. Now, Rob
Drake is already up it. Every A final, every NBA
finals event. Are you trolling our Rolling Drake getting involved
with Monday Night Football? I'm trolling it. Oh man, hey, hey, hey, hey,
(28:21):
you know how you know how many times Monday Night
Football has tried this, from Dennis Miller to Rush Limball,
They've tried over and over and over to try to
reinvent the wheel. We just want to watch the game.
Can we just watch the game? Why do we need
to have a simulcast and the Manning brothers doing their
own version of it? Whatever happened to the Just put
(28:44):
the game on. Let us hear all right, whoever the
announcers are and move on. If it's a stinker of
a game, we turn the channel. If it's a good game,
we watch it. We're not watching it for Drake. I
hate to break it to you. Hey, you kids, get
off my along, all right. Let me ask you this, Martin,
for clarity. Is Drake just doing a song or is
(29:07):
he actually gonna be like commentating. No, he's not comment No,
he's not commentating. But he's supposed to be like curating
the essentially the composer of monder that football. So going
in out of breaks, it'll be his music or music
that he picks, like you know, under highlight package, so
on and so forth. He'll be Okay, I'm rolling with that. Yeah,
(29:30):
I mean, I think that's a good role for Drake
if he just choosing the music in and out of
the breaks. Some of them will be his stuff, some
of it the other stuff. I don't really need to
see him up there rapping, you know, at the top
of the show. I mean, you know, maybe that would
be good too, But yeah, I mean that role, I'm fine.
I don't want him commentating. I don't want them him
(29:50):
making light you know, like Snoop does with these celebrity
boxing matches, which is great for that, but I don't
need that with Monday Night Football. So I'm cool with
that if that's what Drake's doing. All right, let's get
this last one. Can you squeeze it in, Martin, squeeze
it in? We got trash talking quid because Tom Brady one.
But I just know that I feel like this is
(30:10):
the first time in the history of national radio that
one person mentioned Dennis Miller, Rush Limbaugh and Drake all
in the same sentence, like that's got to be a
trium having comment they all failed at Monday Night Football.
How's that? There's a few others you could throw in there,
(30:32):
but will be nice. But you you remember that, don't you?
You don't remember Dennis Miller and Rush Limball was a
decide Rush was with, wasn't in the Sunday studio show? Ye? Yeah,
it was definitely Monday Night, right, And and Tony Corneiser
was put in on the booth in Monday Night Football.
(30:52):
Dennis Miller just to me, that was that was the
biggest read Martin. You don't remember that. You were too young, right? No? Actually,
I'm almost positive I remember Dennis. I'm trying to remember
if I remember Dennis Miller or Tony Kornheiser in the
Monday Night Football. It was Dennis Miller that I remember,
but I'm hoping that remember Rush Limball on Sunday NFL Country.
(31:17):
That's when Limball, Hey lasted was a week the last
I don't know if it was that, but it wasn't
that long. And you want to remember they were looking
at all his listeners on the radio, thinking that you
could get a push, you know what I mean? Yea, yeah,
but you don't need that for football, Nah, don't. That's
what I mean. People want to watch football. They don't
need that. You don't need all that. And Dennis Miller,
(31:39):
first of all, I don't think you bring in a
comedian and make light of your sport. But Dennis Miller,
I don't think he would have been the comedian you choose,
just because of his style of humor, which he can
be funny at times, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
it's just it's just a sordcast. I don't know I
describe it, but I remember about my Mark we got
a roll this Dennis Miller blues. I do remember. I
(32:02):
remember my dad watching it and saying, Howard Cosell was
turning over in his grade. Yes, and Howard Cosell was
the best. He was rolling in his grade. All right, Martin,
great stuff. We appreciate your brother. All right. Track Us

What's up? Rob? What's up? Chris? You know? Listen? Just

(33:29):

That defense and short lightning the bottom last year. That

got your mirror. Appreciate you, man. It was ridiculous, but
well said the mirror. I give you props. Yes, we
love it. All right. Jake in Dallas, you're in the
odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. Hey, Jake, who you're trashing?
I'm trashing you. Rob What do you? What are you doing? Robert?
You okay? So you said last week that you're out here.
(34:11):
You are the guy that's not putting back the shopping
carts into the into the shopping cartslout. What have you
have you ever worked? Have you ever worked as a clerk.
It's a pain in the bones for anybody to be
doing that. I did this job up in Wisconsin, when
(34:36):
it's zero degrees out and I have to be chasing
carts around. This is this is this? You are that
guy that's not helping out to improve society, move society
forward with this kind of stuff. Come on, Rob, I
got you, Jake, probably I was. I was a bagger
(34:58):
at the grocery store. I so love that. Get so
you should really, you should really be ashamed that take
you had then. I was definitely if you worked at
the grocery store, I did. I worked at the A
and P. Chris, you know that in the old days.
Hey Max and Georgia. My man, you're on the A
couple of Fox Sports Radio. Who you're trash? And Max?
What's up? My guy? I'm trash in the NFL Players Union, Cam,
(35:21):
you wanted to do the dab, now you're wanting not
to do the jab. I'm not anty backs. I'm pro facts.
But figures can lie and liars can figure. Cam get
out of there rather than sit and simmer. Don't forget.
It's about being a winner. Don't lose sight. It's all
pro choice and pro voice. I appreciate you guy. Look
(35:45):
at Max dropping backs that that was well okay, nice,
that was well done and now I think Chris we
got Mason san Diego. I'm probably gonna rip Dennis Miller
or time with Cosell right called Korea. Yeah, I'm actually
a fan of Dennis Miller, believe it or not. I'm
(36:05):
the only one on the minority outside. But you're you're
in the eye couple who you trash? No trash the
New York Jets because I freaking hate his team. This
team unequivocally has the stupid at san Chan live by
their unofficial mascot fireman. Ad What this does that make
(36:27):
to have a fireman for the mascot instead of having
something that pertains to a jet like a pilot. That's
like the mascot of the Carolina Panthers being represented by
a real life janitor. This organization is so bad the
military should sue them for using the name of the Jets.
And don't get me started the ugly throwback uniforms they
wore from next ninety eight till twenty eighteen, especially all
white road uniforms. It looks like Tidy White's with green
(36:49):
skid marks. Not to mention, this team is responsible for
the nformis Buck Fumble orchestrated by Mark Sanchez. Let's not
forget about the genius hiring of Rich toe Tight, a
rich uptight who at four to twenty eight to two
seasons as head coach Way to Go Jets. He certainly
kicked and in from Bartie and sadly Bill Belichick's resigned
(37:10):
to day after being hired as head coach. That's not terrible.
This organization is because even Belichick knew all his cheating
tactics was his bottom of the borough organization would still
find ways the annual losers. And since dam Darnold was
caught saying he was seeing ghost thing Monday night football
last year, maybe use that to your advantage and talk
of the ghost of former Jets head coach. We've e
back to give you a reality checks. What do you know?
(37:30):
How bad you and your team? Shuck? Wow? I love
May like he's he's doing football this coming season. Almost
follow on my chair, Chris. I know that you're talking
about the Jets. He did something from this century and
that's not an exaggeration. Most of what he does is
(37:51):
from the twentieth century. We'll take it, no doubt. Yeah,
May's good job. Do we have any time to feel
that we know? More time to rack one in good
job based. Why do I feel though like every take
Mace does he did he's done on the gym Rome
show You think so? Yeah, and he did it twenty
(38:13):
years ago. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's got a file
cabinet with all of his takes from the past. But
what make we appreciate you? We appreciate, Yes, we did.
We appreciate all you guys. And look. Go to Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, iTunes,
download the podcast, subscribe, tell your friends, your family. We

your family members. Spread the word. All right, it's about
