The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
All right, We're an hour two hour, one went by
very quickly, some great conversations. This has been a football
heavy show and it will continue to be football heavy
as we get closer and closer to the beginning of
the NFL and other respective football seasons. It's football time, people,
(01:31):
and let's start off. Let's kick off this first hour
TJ with well some comments from George Kittle. I know
you are part of the PA, and you have been
a very very active member to conversations that take place
at that higherarchy of conversations with the PA, with the
league offices. Obviously, the NFL is working to expand the season.
(01:57):
They've already gone up to seven eighteen games. It looks
as though there's a strong possibility that eighteen games is inevitable.
Let's take a listen to what George Kittle has to say.
I'm interested in your opinion on it as well. But
here's George Kittle.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's inevitably.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
First, it's gonna get to eighteen games at some point, right,
And I've I think I've said it for like ever
since we got to seventeen games. I was like, just
give us two buys. And it just adds an extra
week to the season anyways, because now you're instead of
eighteen weeks, now you're at nineteen weeks. That's another air
week of football that you're on TV with all the
ads and all that stuff. Increases the season long and
it gives guys an extra week of rest because you
need that. It's hard to play eighteen games, but like,
(02:37):
I'm totally fine with that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Just give us two buys.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Now, we had this conversation on two pros and Q
Brady Quinn had the point of games being added is
clearly one of the biggest negotiation chips and bargaining pieces
of leverage that the NFLPA would have and their arsenal
to offer just saying like, Okay, we're going to eighteen
(03:06):
games and stuff like that. Is it wise for players
and players of his caliber to be coming out and
just saying, yeah, we're okay with there being eighteen games.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Just give us two buys.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Now take that out of the equation and you just
look at it at the phase value. Things are negotiated
the way that they need to be between the PA
and the league.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Does eighteen games make sense?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
And do you like the idea of having two bye
weeks connected to the season making it a nineteen week season.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Man, if they're going to go to eighteen games, which
it looked like, it really looks like that, that's what's
going to happen. And you have Joe Burrow saying it,
you have George Kittleson and who we just heard the
sound two by weeks. I believe it will gain more
(03:56):
traction and it will just be. It's going to happen eventually.
It's just a matter of when not if. Now you
know what's crazy if you get two bye weeks and
say you get two Thursday night games or I don't
know how that works, is every team just get one.
In that sense, depending on your coach, you almost have
(04:18):
three bye weeks during the season, because you know you
play Thursday night game. The majority of coaches and teams
they give you Friday, Saturday, Sunday off, be back on Monday.
So that's like a mini bye week, so to speak.
But you know, we play sixteen games before we had
that one by week, and now that they're playing seventeen
(04:39):
games and then you get to eighteen games one, records
are going to be broken, and records are going to
be broken with no problem. Will it be an asterisk
and say this was done in eighteen games. You got
a guy like Calvin Johnson, yards in a season probably
(05:00):
will be broken if you get to eighteen games, you
have rushing yards in the season. I don't know if
that will ever be broken because running backs don't get
the carries today that they got when we were playing.
But I would assume eighteen games is coming and it's coming.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Fast pause and when it.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Does, true, it will be two by weeks because when
the best players in the league are saying that they
believe that should be the case, so that that's what's.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Going to happen. Should it be larger rosters if you
do go to eighteen games?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, no, but this is what it should be. I've
always felt this, LeVar. I've always felt this. Why do
we have an active in it active thing? If you're
on the fifty three man roster, you should suit up.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
And so, no, the roster shouldn't be large because you
don't get paid. They don't play. They don't know. No, yes,
yes you do, Yes you do.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Don't give you a game check, Yes you do, LeVar,
I was an active See you don't know anything. No,
I'm talking practice squad. Now, I'm talking not the practice squad.
I'm talking to fifty three man roster. Right, All fifty
three guys aren't active LeVar, You know that right.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Right, that is okay? And so how many guys are
are are active? And during the game.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You have forty five forty five, so it's eight guys inactive.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, yeah, I got it. And so let the entire
team be active. Practice squad guys don't get a game.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Practice no, no, okay, all right, but the rules now though,
you know, you can bring a practice squad guy up,
pam a game check and put it right back down, right,
And so the all fifty three guys.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Don't you don't know nothing about that.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, you know, you don't know nothing about being inactive.
I mean the only time you were inactive when you
were hurt early in my career, man, it was she
walk into that locker room. You don't see that jersey
on the shoulder pads.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm inactive today.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So that's what I think should happen, is all fifty
three guys should be able to suit up and maybe
let's say let's just suit up fifty five guys.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Per week. Two guys from a practice squad can come up.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
They get that game check, and so let's say we
have fifty five guys active every single week. But I
believe the guys that are always on the inactive list.
If you're on an active roster, you should be able
to suit up. And that's in essence, eight extra spots
that you normally wouldn't have, which is a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
What's interesting, they went from fourteen games to sixteen and
seventy eight. From nineteen seight to eighty one or through
eighty one, it was sixteen games sixteen weeks, which is interesting,
which means that there was no bye weeks. You just
went straight through for sixteen games from seventy eight to
(08:14):
eighty one. Now, interestingly enough, at the end of that
run in eighty two, there was only nine games played
because in a seventeen week season, because there was a strike.
You know, clearly there was you know, conversations about what.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Was going on.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
They came back, they did the sixteen game sixteen weeks
again from eighty eight to eighty nine, but then made
it a sixteen game season with seventeen weeks, so they
started they started adding bye weeks once they got into
the nineties. So it's interesting to think, you know, late eighties,
(08:54):
like into the eighties and into the nineties. Just it's
interesting to think of the evolution of how we view games.
Like the guys who play in the seventies, you know,
they're like, man, we're playing fourteen games in fourteen weeks, Like.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
What did that look like?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
They probably weren't making I know, we know they weren't
making a ton of money, and there was a lot
of pressure to figure out how to make a living
outside of the season.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
But things have changed.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
This game has grown so much and you'd have to
assume just the singular edition of a game or two,
the impact it's had on the growth of the game,
the impact it's had on the amount of advertising dollars
that you're able to add, because that goes into the
packages that are being sold with these major you know,
(09:44):
advertising companies and agencies that are involved.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
TJ is such big business.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And we're seeing how they're trying to extend and make
this such a longer season four you know, the spectacle
that is considered to be, you know, the most watched
and best sport in America. So to me, I think
it's it's interesting that they're pushing for eighteen games.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
In my mind, sixteen games.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Coming out of college, playing sixteen games, those extra four games,
that was hard. That was a hard adjustment. It almost
felt like another another season. Then you get used to it.
You get used to it, and you're able to go
through that sixteen to add another two. I think if
they did add another bye week, I think that it
(10:39):
would be definitely feasible to think that you could do.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
An eighteen game season.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I just think that those those bye weeks would have
to be very very well strategically placed.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And I think somebody with.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Joe Burrow was talking about putting the Pro Bowl in
one of those bye weeks and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't subscribe to that.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I don't think that that would be a great idea,
just maybe due to injuries and the Pro Bowl needs
to be some of you just have like competitions the
actual football game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Just have some competition amongst the guys doing different things,
almost like a decaflon but not a bunch of physical exertion.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
That's what it needs to be. Man, Guys ain't playing
a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Man, just have some type of competitions amongst the players,
and it's like a almost like an All Star weekend
minus the basketball play.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I mean, I'm sure there could be a lot of
different ways to approach making a Pro Bowl or All
Pro week. That's a bye week that could be very monetizable.
I think that that'll come with some creative thought involved
to make that happen. But I definitely think that having
(11:57):
two buys would make it make sense to do eighteen games.
With that being said, maybe one of those buys, which
has never been done in the NFL, would let that
I know of that having a bye week where no
teams play, you know what I mean, Like, it's just
it's a total.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Off week bye week for the league's Oh no, I
don't think that will ever happen because that would be
the only way you be able to do a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, but season event, once you get to the fall, man,
we are like this time for me, I don't know
about you.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
This time of the year is awful. It's like what
am I gonna watch on TV?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And so once August runs around.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's like, okay, okay, here come football. And so I'm
accustomed to football every single weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, I could dig.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It, and so to go through it and not have
a weekend with football, it'd be like, oh, now if
they do do that. If they are going to do that,
let's see if they can get with college football and
make sure that's a good weekend of college football. So
that may be a way that they can manage that
(13:08):
if they can get with the powers that be within
college football and say, Okay, this is gonna be championship
weekend and whatever it may be, let's get some good
games on their for college football, and then that may
work from that perspective.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, well, we'll see how it works out.
Speaker 4 (13:22):

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Right, it's t J. Husman's out on LeVar Arrington.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
We'll talk, beers talking and just like uh maybe uh
twenty minutes, we'll get to something one of the cornerbacks
had to say about their new quarterback, Caleb Williams. Uh,
but first let's talk about looming holdouts.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
It's a lot of receivers on on the list of
potential holdouts TJ cd Lamb Brandon, Aiyuk Jamar, Chase Courtland, Suttland,
Uh Sutton, Tarik hill Amari Cooper.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's a lot of names that are guys that are
catching balls. Pause.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Uh, but they have two on that list as a
potential guy. They have uh Hassan Reddick on that that
list as well.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's an interesting weird deal.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Uh you know how that's that's shaping out in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Uh, what do you see?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
How do you see this playing out? Who do you
see as the winners and the losers. And in this
list of who's who players that could possibly hold out
for their contracts.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I mean that's a tough Tom will tell with that.
But when you specifically, when you talk City Lamb, he's
earned a new contract, has he not? He's earned a
new contract?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I honestly don't know what the Cowboys be doing. Man,
I really don't. I really don't. We can go back
LeVar to years and years ago when we were on
FS one and I said I would give Dak Prescott
thirty three million a year. Everybody went up in arms
(18:39):
about it. Oh, I would never give him a dollar
above thirty million. Da da da da da. And look
what he signed for. Because the Cowboys waited and waited
and waited, they end up panel more and you knew
Dak Prescott was your quarterback of a few future. You
(19:01):
continue to wait. They're doing the same exact thing with CD.
Now you're not letting them go. When you draft a
player in the first round, you cross your fingers and
you hope he's a type of player we can sign
to a second contract, because that means you're doing a
(19:22):
good job of drafting and you're doing a good job
of developing your players that you do draft. That's a
good problem to have you sign them. You're waiting. It's
gonna be greater later. You're doing the same thing with
Michael Partson. We're gonna be in the same discuss with
Michael Partsons next year. I don't understand what they're doing,
but yes, Cedee Lamb, he's earned it. He should hold
(19:46):
out because you need to get what you can get
when you can get in the league. Because every play,
every play you just don't know, could be the last.
It could always be the last. For your one thing
with the Bengals, they gonna pay a quarterback and they
gonna pay a receiver. Jamar cha is gonna get paid.
That's a fact. They pay Joe Burrow and they gonna
(20:09):
pay Jamar Chase. They've always done it. They gonna pay
that quarterback and they gonna pay that receiver. Now, are
they gonna pay the second receiver? Probably not, but they
gonna pay the number one, and so Chase is gonna
get his money. But it's the CD line one that's
puzzling to me. He's established himself as one of the
top receivers in the league. He's earned his payday and
(20:32):
y'all messing around, like do they not realize when you
do players like it just breeds animosity. It kind of
just makes you angry. It makes you mad even when
you get the deal with that they don't really believe
in me type of thing, like they really don't.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Well, I mean, I would say the one that that
appeals to or applies to the most is Ayuk, right,
I mean it hasn't. I feel like he's earned the
right to say exactly what you said, Like, why you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Don't believe in me to pay me? You know what
I'm worth. The thing with Ba is Debo.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
If Deebo is a top seven I believe paid receiver
in the league. They have guys at the receiver position
that are well compensated, running back position well compensated. When
you look at the Niners, Trent Williams getting paid, Kittle
getting paid, McCaffrey getting paid, Debo getting paid. So they
(21:28):
have guys where, yes, you can feel that way, but
their money is being spent on the offensive side. When
you look at the Cowboys outside of Dak Prescott and
Zach Mark who getting paid on that offense. Outside of
those two guys who getting paid on that right now?
And so that's my point is Ceedee Lamb should feel
(21:50):
underappreciated because who else is getting paid on this offense
besides those two guys right like, like what is going on?
And so you be paid absolutely, But the Niners are
trying to keep a good team together. And again with
the Niners, if they would have just got got out
in front of this, you know who did a great
(22:10):
you know who does a great job is in getting
out in front of contracts and getting guys a little early.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Philadelphia Eagles, man, they.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Kind of do it good. But they have what they
got going on with with has Son.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Reddick, Like they let us they traded as sign Reddick
to the Jets because they.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Didn't Jets to the Jets.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
They didn't want that problem, right, the Jets are having
that issue. Demonte Smith signed for twenty five million a
year and people are looking saying, Wow, the Eagles did
a great job of getting him signed early because you
look at what guys started to get after he signed. Man,
they would have been giving him twenty eight thirty million
(22:50):
a year. They saved that money because they got the
deal done early. They they say that money because they
got the deal.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
When you know what, guy is a party once you know, yeah,
you should get just get it done, get it done,
Get it done.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
What are you waiting on?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The salary cap goes up every year and so you
you put yourself in the bind. And now the Cowboys
you have a buyd Ceedee Lamb does not come to
training camp and report on time. Yeah he's going to
be fine. Yeah it's gonna be a problem. But this
season gonna be over for y'all. So are you willing
(23:28):
to waste a season because Ceedee Lamb doesn't report the
camp on top? Because outside of City Lamb, who Dak
Prescott gonna feel comfortable throwing the ball to that he
knows can win one on one.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
On a consistent basis. Maybe no one. I think everybody
else has made you saw cooks.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Somebody will step to the forefront of our somebody somebody will.
But will it be It's not like a level that
they got with and that's the problem. It will, Yes,
it will not. So I need to I need somebody.
I need to be somebody's assistant. GM man, I really do,
like I'm saying that, but I really do.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, well, I really do. I hope people are listening,
you know. I mean, I hope they're paying attention, because
I just need to learn.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Once I learn the game, it's a rap I got
an eye for time, not just receiver, every position man. Yeah,
like I believe that it's almost uh, get out in
front and if you don't get out in front of it,
then he's not a prayer that you want in the future.
If you don't deem him worthy of getting this contract. Now,
it's a guy that we can just move on from.
(24:32):
Just do a good job with that.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
What if you have a situation where financially speaking, you're
waiting to clear a contract or you know, clear a
player that you would have dig cap hit, you know,
potential on and stuff like that. What if it's just
a matter of the current state cap wise that a
team may be in as to why they don't get
(24:54):
the deal done.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That's the business side of it, and that's that's that's
under that's understandable.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
But when it's a CD lamp. See, this is the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
These teams always use, we don't have a cap space
as an excuse, LaVar. Let's let all the people in
on a secret. They always have space always don't believe it.
They always have space. There's so many ways to word
a contract and bonuses. There's always there's always ways to
(25:33):
get a contract done if you want to. They use
the salary cap as an excuse as to why we
can't do this. No, no, no, you can use language
to make it happen. They just choose not to, and
the people fall for it because they don't know any better.
I'm just letting y'all know now, if you want to
(25:55):
get it done, you get it done, no excuse. They
can get it done. But for years it's always, oh,
we don't have a cap space. Oh they don't have Yes,
you do.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
All right, So we'll see how that all plays out.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
There's a familiar name that has joined a familiar show
for this upcoming NFL season. We're going to talk talk
about that on the other side of this trending that
we're going to get from our guy, Isaac loncros so
we can get him out on the road.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
What you got going on, Halo.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Well, we got a championship LeVar and TJ being handed
out at Wimbledon after the Ladies singles final today came
down to the deciding third.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Set Babora Kretschikiva has a third championship point.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Is this the one she says? Big out wide? The
returns coming back a long.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Babora Kritikova is the Wimbledon champion.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Sir Alistair Percival dunbarton the third with the call on
Wimbledon Radio. Actually, I'm just kidding. The guy's name is
Rich anyway, as kray Chikova defeated Italy's Jasmine Palini six
two two, six sixty four. Tomorrow it'll be Novak Djokovic
going up against Carlos al Karaz in the men's singles final.
In the NBA, multiple outlets reported the Denver rookie first
(27:16):
round draft pick Deron Holmes has suffered a torn right
achilles and is expected to miss the upcoming season. Today,
ESPN reported that Veterans center Taj Gibson has agreed to
a one year, three million dollar deal with the Charlotte Hornets.
And finally, one Major League Baseball game going on right now.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, with a one nothing lead at
(27:37):
Detroit in the bottom of the second inning on an
RBI ground out by Freddie Freeman. In the top half
of the first inning, Lovar and TJ.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Take it away, appreciate it. I low enjoyed the rest
of your day. Uh, you do such a fine job.
And speaking of doing a fine job, Bill Belichick, he
did a fine job as the head coach of the Patriots,
but you know they parted ways this year. He has
since started to make his way in front of the
camera on the other side of how things are handled
(28:10):
more from the media versus being the personality that is coaching.
Adding to his list recently Inside the NFL, TJ. He's
going to join the cast with obviously your boy, Chad Johnson,
Ryan Clark, Chris Long.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
This is a long.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Standing show, a long standing format of studio analysts. It's
an NFL films footage shows.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It's I mean.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Back to Nick Bonakhani and Lynn Dawson and so many
that Damn Marino. It's been so many amazing personalities that
have been a part of.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
This show.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
In particular, how do you feel about Bill belichickoining the.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Crew for Inside the NFL. It's on the CW.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
That's interesting, that's an interesting move from HBO and stuff
like that. But what what was your first reaction to
Bill Belichick joining this cast?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I mean, it's more so, uh, Bill seems to be
a good personality when he is in the head coach
of a team, and so if he can maintain that,
which I believed that's who he is, I think he's
gonna be great for TV. Obviously, a wealth of knowledge
(29:36):
when it comes to football and being able to see
and understand what's going on and explain it to the
audience in a way where they understand it. And so,
you know, being a head coach, he operated a certain way,
but seeing him outside of that realm and seeing how
(29:58):
he conducts himself.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
That was just who he was as a head coach.
Who he will be as.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
A analyst as a commentator, I believe, and he's shown
that it's somebody different and that somebody different.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Looks to be a cool Belichick. Compared to.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The way he was as the coach Belichick, it was
just like he was not a good dude. He was
always mad. And this this Belichick, I think a lot
of people can enjoy and they will.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
They will like him.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
You know, the first thing I thought about when I've
heard him accepting these roles. He's going to work with
the Peyton's, the Mannings on the Manning cast he's going
to do. Inside the NFL, A lot of people are
intimidated by the coach, right if you think about bringing
him in. The reports that came out of Atlanta was
(30:57):
that they were, you know, kind of intimidated by his presence,
intimidated by what that could represent. What do you say
to a man that has accomplished what Bill Belichick has accomplished.
I think this is a brilliant approach for Bill Belichick,
and this is exactly what I believe Tom Brady is.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Doing as well.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
This is a brilliant way of building your brand and
building your reputation in a way where you're consumable, where
you're not so much larger than life that you're not relatable.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
When Bill Belichick has done his you know, he was
on stage with the college Game Day crew, he was
with Pat McAfee and his school.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
His wit, and his personality.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
It's like now you get and it's kind of interesting
when you get to see that personality after you've seen
so much of what he is as a head coach
and what he did and how he handled things when
he was winning all of those games. It almost makes
it even better, like way better that the dude is
actually like a funny dude. He's a witty dude, like
the note that he wrote, the email that he wrote
(32:09):
his player and tore his ass up and in the
email it and it just had you laughing the whole time.
To get an opportunity to see him in that that way.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
And in that manner, I think is an.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Excellent way of disarming anyone that could in the future
potentially hire him to be a head coach of their team.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
TJ.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I mean to me, that was my first takeaway on
on what it was with Bill Belichick joining, you know,
these these media outlets to do what it is that
he's doing, so you know, we'll see how that all plays.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Be doing this to show that there is a different
side of him, so that the reluctance of people that
may I don't know if I want to hire him
as much, he's showing a different side to ease that
concern that people may have.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
That's I think that if that's what it is, which
I would assume that that shouldn't be a hard a
hard conclusion of military secret conclusion. It seems like that
makes a ton of sense for him to show that
personality and disarm people.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
So we'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
With Bill Belichick wishing him all the lucky in the
world and the show, Ryan and CJ, all those guys,
everything that's going on.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Jake, you know, long, good luck to that show.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
We're gonna close out, We're gonna wrap up things, and
we're gonna do that with a cornerback from the Bears.
He had some really really cool things to say about
their new quarterback, Caleb Williams. We'll touch on that and
wrap the show up. On the other side of this break,
you're listening to Up on Game.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
That's t J.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Huschman Zada. I'm LeVar Arrington. This is Fox Sports Radio.
All right, welcome back in What's Up on Game Rely
from the tyrack dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
TJ. Huschmansida is LeVar Arrington. Has been a great show.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
If you missed anything, that's okay, you can always go
back and check it out on the podcast. Wherever it
is you get your podcast from. Just type in up
on Game and search what we got going on. It'll
go up shortly after the show. And following our show,
Jonas Knox will be gracing the microphone and he always
has interesting and cool things to talk about as well,
(34:19):
So stay locked in for that also, TJ.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Before we get up out.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Of here, there was a very very nice amount of
complimentary talk from Jalen Johnson, cornerback for the Chicago Bears.
There has been a lot of conversation, a lot of
positive energy coming out of reports on this Chicago Bears team.
(34:44):
Some people may even think that there's the coach of
the Year that is going to come from that team,
the rookie of the Year may come from that team.
And well, Jalen Johnson had this to say about Caleb Williams,
the new rookie quarterback in town, the number one overall
pick to the Bears.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I think, for me, he's just different. He stands out.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
I think his arm talent stands out, his maturity stands out.
Just the way he carries himself stands out. Now, when
you have a veteran in the league that's on the
team and they have positive things to say about.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
You this early on, because generally this.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Is when vets don't like rookies, is the early parts
of it, because they don't know the rules of engagement yet.
I can recall, you know, Bruce Smith being like kind
of like dismissive towards me a little maybe even could
have been considered mean.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I remember being in.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
A pass rush one time we had a game TJ
and Bruce told me, coming out of huddle, just get out.
Well he say like that, just get out of my way, LeVar,
just get just get up the field and just get
out of my way. You know, once I learned what
was going on and I figured out what was going on,
I went from LeVar to La and he wanted to
(36:06):
do all of his stunts with me. And so I
earned that respect and earned that trust from one of
the greatest and the highest sack totals guy to ever
played the game.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But as a rook coming in, I didn't get I didn't.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Get a lot of praises lotted my way from the Vets.
This seems like this is pretty encouraging that Caleb would
receive this type of feedback so soon in his career.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
You know, Caleb Williams is of the last fifteen years,
one of the top quarterback prospects to come into the league,
and some will say maybe the last twenty years.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
You know, you say, what Andrew Luck Yep, some say
Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Maybe at Trevor Lawrence. In Caleb Williams mean into the
league that everybody is like, can't miss, can't miss, can't miss,
And so it doesn't it doesn't surprise me. Calen Williams
was fantastic at Oklahoma, he was fantastic at USC This
(37:16):
past season had some down games, but a s SE
just didn't have that team and players.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
A lot of that didn't have to do with him. No,
a lot of defense.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I'm gonna say of it because when you know, man,
I gotta score every single person.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, they were depending on him to win every game.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
You you're gonna press, You're gonna force some things as
you shouldn't force.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
And people say, oh, he didn't play great against under name.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well, when you know, if I don't score every possession,
we're probably gonna lose. You start to do things that
you normally wouldn't do in a game. And so I
said it when he got drafted or before he got
the Bears are going to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
This year, the Bears had a top ten defense. I'm
gonna running back, running back down the stretch, down the stretch. Oh,
you want to we can better right now we're running back.
I mean, you haven't got the ones that I already bought,
which by the way, I got another paradise in black now,
and they're pretty dope.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Anyway, unless they have injuries. I don't see how the
Bears don't make the playoffs with the defense that they
had down the stretch, and you add Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen,
and Roma Doonze to the mix. I't even mentioned DeAndre Swift.
The Chicago Bears are prying, they're low to make a
(38:37):
playoff run, but it's going to have to start with
Caleb Williams leading away.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I'm not all the.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Way sold that that he'll transition into the league to
that capacity where he sets the world on fire.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
I think CJ.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Stroud may have created a baseline and a measuring standard
that might not be realistic. To be honest, I don't
know exactly how c J. Stroud was able to accomplish
at the highest level that he did in last season,
(39:14):
but what I will say is is intriguing to think
that c J. Stroud wasn't even the number one guy
in his draft, and yet he had one of the
most impressive. I would say his his rookie year was
more impressive than Trevor Lawrence's.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Rookie year, who was easily considered to be the Stroud
might have one of the best rookie seasons of any
quarterback in the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Ever. Yeah, yeah, Ever, I mean he should have been
in a conversation for a player of the Year, not
Rookie of the year.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
He played in a conversation for me at one point
for offensive player of the Year.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
And it's tough for rookie to win it because you're
coming You're basically starting at the bottom of the hill
where everybody else is at the middle of the hill.
Because your your name, nobody nobody assumes a Ricky can
be in contention for that. But Cayler Williams, being a
competitor that he.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Is, you know, he's thinking, he knows what CJ did
like you know, he's aware of it.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
He's a competitor. He's going to try to top that.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Yes, but how realistic is that that he can do
it with that team around it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Very realistic, with that team around him and his talent,
Very realistic. I don't know Kayler Williams well but I
was able to spend some time with him. I know
him a little bit and that competitiveness, that that that desire,
that want to I'm excited, man to see how this
is gonna play out. The Bears are going to get
(40:50):
to the playoffs on the back of his arm, and
we're gonna be looking back on it saying, Wow, this
kid is what everybody thought he would be.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
You feel confident about that. I do.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
I feel very confident that he will succeed. I just
don't see what the weapons they have on offense how
he doesn't I don't see it.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
I'm excited to see if that happens, because now you're
talking about there's the pressure to hunt it now is
the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
They were the hunter, Now they're the hunted.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
And being in that NFC North looking at what it
is that the expectations of the Lions are and knowing
that you have a quarterback in Jordan Love that is
now going to be you know, spotlighted with Green Bay
and now we're talking about what Caleb Williams could represent
for the Chicago Bears. I think that's going to be
(41:43):
pretty exciting to watch, pretty exciting to see how does
that all play out, and what do we see from
Caleb Williams as a rookie. We'll continue to have these
conversations and more, but for now this will do it
for us. This rap, that's t J. Huschmanzada, I'm LeVar Arrington.
Jonas Notch is up next. This is up on game

The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
All right, We're an hour two hour, one went by
very quickly, some great conversations. This has been a football
heavy show and it will continue to be football heavy
as we get closer and closer to the beginning of
the NFL and other respective football seasons. It's football time, people,
(01:31):
and let's start off. Let's kick off this first hour
TJ with well some comments from George Kittle. I know
you are part of the PA, and you have been
a very very active member to conversations that take place
at that higherarchy of conversations with the PA, with the
league offices. Obviously, the NFL is working to expand the season.
(01:57):
They've already gone up to seven eighteen games. It looks
as though there's a strong possibility that eighteen games is inevitable.
Let's take a listen to what George Kittle has to say.
I'm interested in your opinion on it as well. But
here's George Kittle.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's inevitably.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
First, it's gonna get to eighteen games at some point, right,
And I've I think I've said it for like ever
since we got to seventeen games. I was like, just
give us two buys. And it just adds an extra
week to the season anyways, because now you're instead of
eighteen weeks, now you're at nineteen weeks. That's another air
week of football that you're on TV with all the
ads and all that stuff. Increases the season long and
it gives guys an extra week of rest because you
need that. It's hard to play eighteen games, but like,
(02:37):
I'm totally fine with that.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Just give us two buys.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Now, we had this conversation on two pros and Q
Brady Quinn had the point of games being added is
clearly one of the biggest negotiation chips and bargaining pieces
of leverage that the NFLPA would have and their arsenal
to offer just saying like, Okay, we're going to eighteen
(03:06):
games and stuff like that. Is it wise for players
and players of his caliber to be coming out and
just saying, yeah, we're okay with there being eighteen games.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Just give us two buys.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Now take that out of the equation and you just
look at it at the phase value. Things are negotiated
the way that they need to be between the PA
and the league.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Does eighteen games make sense?
Speaker 4 (03:27):
And do you like the idea of having two bye
weeks connected to the season making it a nineteen week season.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Man, if they're going to go to eighteen games, which
it looked like, it really looks like that, that's what's
going to happen. And you have Joe Burrow saying it,
you have George Kittleson and who we just heard the
sound two by weeks. I believe it will gain more
(03:56):
traction and it will just be. It's going to happen eventually.
It's just a matter of when not if. Now you
know what's crazy if you get two bye weeks and
say you get two Thursday night games or I don't
know how that works, is every team just get one.
In that sense, depending on your coach, you almost have
(04:18):
three bye weeks during the season, because you know you
play Thursday night game. The majority of coaches and teams
they give you Friday, Saturday, Sunday off, be back on Monday.
So that's like a mini bye week, so to speak.
But you know, we play sixteen games before we had
that one by week, and now that they're playing seventeen
(04:39):
games and then you get to eighteen games one, records
are going to be broken, and records are going to
be broken with no problem. Will it be an asterisk
and say this was done in eighteen games. You got
a guy like Calvin Johnson, yards in a season probably
(05:00):
will be broken if you get to eighteen games, you
have rushing yards in the season. I don't know if
that will ever be broken because running backs don't get
the carries today that they got when we were playing.
But I would assume eighteen games is coming and it's coming.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Fast pause and when it.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Does, true, it will be two by weeks because when
the best players in the league are saying that they
believe that should be the case, so that that's what's.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Going to happen. Should it be larger rosters if you
do go to eighteen games?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, no, but this is what it should be. I've
always felt this, LeVar. I've always felt this. Why do
we have an active in it active thing? If you're
on the fifty three man roster, you should suit up.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
And so, no, the roster shouldn't be large because you
don't get paid. They don't play. They don't know. No, yes,
yes you do, Yes you do.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Don't give you a game check, Yes you do, LeVar,
I was an active See you don't know anything. No,
I'm talking practice squad. Now, I'm talking not the practice squad.
I'm talking to fifty three man roster. Right, All fifty
three guys aren't active LeVar, You know that right.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Right, that is okay? And so how many guys are
are are active? And during the game.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You have forty five forty five, so it's eight guys inactive.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, yeah, I got it. And so let the entire
team be active. Practice squad guys don't get a game.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Practice no, no, okay, all right, but the rules now though,
you know, you can bring a practice squad guy up,
pam a game check and put it right back down, right,
And so the all fifty three guys.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Don't you don't know nothing about that.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, you know, you don't know nothing about being inactive.
I mean the only time you were inactive when you
were hurt early in my career, man, it was she
walk into that locker room. You don't see that jersey
on the shoulder pads.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm inactive today.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So that's what I think should happen, is all fifty
three guys should be able to suit up and maybe
let's say let's just suit up fifty five guys.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Per week. Two guys from a practice squad can come up.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
They get that game check, and so let's say we
have fifty five guys active every single week. But I
believe the guys that are always on the inactive list.
If you're on an active roster, you should be able
to suit up. And that's in essence, eight extra spots
that you normally wouldn't have, which is a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
What's interesting, they went from fourteen games to sixteen and
seventy eight. From nineteen seight to eighty one or through
eighty one, it was sixteen games sixteen weeks, which is interesting,
which means that there was no bye weeks. You just
went straight through for sixteen games from seventy eight to
(08:14):
eighty one. Now, interestingly enough, at the end of that
run in eighty two, there was only nine games played
because in a seventeen week season, because there was a strike.
You know, clearly there was you know, conversations about what.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Was going on.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
They came back, they did the sixteen game sixteen weeks
again from eighty eight to eighty nine, but then made
it a sixteen game season with seventeen weeks, so they
started they started adding bye weeks once they got into
the nineties. So it's interesting to think, you know, late eighties,
(08:54):
like into the eighties and into the nineties. Just it's
interesting to think of the evolution of how we view games.
Like the guys who play in the seventies, you know,
they're like, man, we're playing fourteen games in fourteen weeks, Like.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
What did that look like?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
They probably weren't making I know, we know they weren't
making a ton of money, and there was a lot
of pressure to figure out how to make a living
outside of the season.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
But things have changed.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
This game has grown so much and you'd have to
assume just the singular edition of a game or two,
the impact it's had on the growth of the game,
the impact it's had on the amount of advertising dollars
that you're able to add, because that goes into the
packages that are being sold with these major you know,
(09:44):
advertising companies and agencies that are involved.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
TJ is such big business.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And we're seeing how they're trying to extend and make
this such a longer season four you know, the spectacle
that is considered to be, you know, the most watched
and best sport in America. So to me, I think
it's it's interesting that they're pushing for eighteen games.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
In my mind, sixteen games.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Coming out of college, playing sixteen games, those extra four games,
that was hard. That was a hard adjustment. It almost
felt like another another season. Then you get used to it.
You get used to it, and you're able to go
through that sixteen to add another two. I think if
they did add another bye week, I think that it
(10:39):
would be definitely feasible to think that you could do.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
An eighteen game season.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I just think that those those bye weeks would have
to be very very well strategically placed.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And I think somebody with.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Joe Burrow was talking about putting the Pro Bowl in
one of those bye weeks and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't subscribe to that.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I don't think that that would be a great idea,
just maybe due to injuries and the Pro Bowl needs
to be some of you just have like competitions the
actual football game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Just have some competition amongst the guys doing different things,
almost like a decaflon but not a bunch of physical exertion.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
That's what it needs to be. Man, Guys ain't playing
a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Man, just have some type of competitions amongst the players,
and it's like a almost like an All Star weekend
minus the basketball play.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
I mean, I'm sure there could be a lot of
different ways to approach making a Pro Bowl or All
Pro week. That's a bye week that could be very monetizable.
I think that that'll come with some creative thought involved
to make that happen. But I definitely think that having
(11:57):
two buys would make it make sense to do eighteen games.
With that being said, maybe one of those buys, which
has never been done in the NFL, would let that
I know of that having a bye week where no
teams play, you know what I mean, Like, it's just
it's a total.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Off week bye week for the league's Oh no, I
don't think that will ever happen because that would be
the only way you be able to do a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, but season event, once you get to the fall, man,
we are like this time for me, I don't know
about you.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
This time of the year is awful. It's like what
am I gonna watch on TV?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And so once August runs around.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's like, okay, okay, here come football. And so I'm
accustomed to football every single weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, I could dig.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It, and so to go through it and not have
a weekend with football, it'd be like, oh, now if
they do do that. If they are going to do that,
let's see if they can get with college football and
make sure that's a good weekend of college football. So
that may be a way that they can manage that
(13:08):
if they can get with the powers that be within
college football and say, Okay, this is gonna be championship
weekend and whatever it may be, let's get some good
games on their for college football, and then that may
work from that perspective.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, well, we'll see how it works out.

Yay Caribbean queen. Uh.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Hey, that's right, very very very legendary song classics. Long
guys say, like this show it's becoming a classic as well.
And we are in the classic tire rack dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Right, it's t J. Husman's out on LeVar Arrington.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
We'll talk, beers talking and just like uh maybe uh
twenty minutes, we'll get to something one of the cornerbacks
had to say about their new quarterback, Caleb Williams. Uh,
but first let's talk about looming holdouts.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
It's a lot of receivers on on the list of
potential holdouts TJ cd Lamb Brandon, Aiyuk Jamar, Chase Courtland, Suttland,
Uh Sutton, Tarik hill Amari Cooper.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's a lot of names that are guys that are
catching balls. Pause.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Uh, but they have two on that list as a
potential guy. They have uh Hassan Reddick on that that
list as well.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's an interesting weird deal.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Uh you know how that's that's shaping out in Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Uh, what do you see?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
How do you see this playing out? Who do you
see as the winners and the losers. And in this
list of who's who players that could possibly hold out
for their contracts.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I mean that's a tough Tom will tell with that.
But when you specifically, when you talk City Lamb, he's
earned a new contract, has he not? He's earned a
new contract?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I honestly don't know what the Cowboys be doing. Man,
I really don't. I really don't. We can go back
LeVar to years and years ago when we were on
FS one and I said I would give Dak Prescott
thirty three million a year. Everybody went up in arms
(18:39):
about it. Oh, I would never give him a dollar
above thirty million. Da da da da da. And look
what he signed for. Because the Cowboys waited and waited
and waited, they end up panel more and you knew
Dak Prescott was your quarterback of a few future. You
(19:01):
continue to wait. They're doing the same exact thing with CD.
Now you're not letting them go. When you draft a
player in the first round, you cross your fingers and
you hope he's a type of player we can sign
to a second contract, because that means you're doing a
(19:22):
good job of drafting and you're doing a good job
of developing your players that you do draft. That's a
good problem to have you sign them. You're waiting. It's
gonna be greater later. You're doing the same thing with
Michael Partson. We're gonna be in the same discuss with
Michael Partsons next year. I don't understand what they're doing,
but yes, Cedee Lamb, he's earned it. He should hold
(19:46):
out because you need to get what you can get
when you can get in the league. Because every play,
every play you just don't know, could be the last.
It could always be the last. For your one thing
with the Bengals, they gonna pay a quarterback and they
gonna pay a receiver. Jamar cha is gonna get paid.
That's a fact. They pay Joe Burrow and they gonna
(20:09):
pay Jamar Chase. They've always done it. They gonna pay
that quarterback and they gonna pay that receiver. Now, are
they gonna pay the second receiver? Probably not, but they
gonna pay the number one, and so Chase is gonna
get his money. But it's the CD line one that's
puzzling to me. He's established himself as one of the
top receivers in the league. He's earned his payday and
(20:32):
y'all messing around, like do they not realize when you
do players like it just breeds animosity. It kind of
just makes you angry. It makes you mad even when
you get the deal with that they don't really believe
in me type of thing, like they really don't.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Well, I mean, I would say the one that that
appeals to or applies to the most is Ayuk, right,
I mean it hasn't. I feel like he's earned the
right to say exactly what you said, Like, why you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Don't believe in me to pay me? You know what
I'm worth. The thing with Ba is Debo.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
If Deebo is a top seven I believe paid receiver
in the league. They have guys at the receiver position
that are well compensated, running back position well compensated. When
you look at the Niners, Trent Williams getting paid, Kittle
getting paid, McCaffrey getting paid, Debo getting paid. So they
(21:28):
have guys where, yes, you can feel that way, but
their money is being spent on the offensive side. When
you look at the Cowboys outside of Dak Prescott and
Zach Mark who getting paid on that offense. Outside of
those two guys who getting paid on that right now?
And so that's my point is Ceedee Lamb should feel
(21:50):
underappreciated because who else is getting paid on this offense
besides those two guys right like, like what is going on?
And so you be paid absolutely, But the Niners are
trying to keep a good team together. And again with
the Niners, if they would have just got got out
in front of this, you know who did a great
(22:10):
you know who does a great job is in getting
out in front of contracts and getting guys a little early.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Philadelphia Eagles, man, they.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Kind of do it good. But they have what they
got going on with with has Son.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Reddick, Like they let us they traded as sign Reddick
to the Jets because they.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Didn't Jets to the Jets.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
They didn't want that problem, right, the Jets are having
that issue. Demonte Smith signed for twenty five million a
year and people are looking saying, Wow, the Eagles did
a great job of getting him signed early because you
look at what guys started to get after he signed. Man,
they would have been giving him twenty eight thirty million
(22:50):
a year. They saved that money because they got the
deal done early. They they say that money because they
got the deal.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
When you know what, guy is a party once you know, yeah,
you should get just get it done, get it done,
Get it done.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
What are you waiting on?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The salary cap goes up every year and so you
you put yourself in the bind. And now the Cowboys
you have a buyd Ceedee Lamb does not come to
training camp and report on time. Yeah he's going to
be fine. Yeah it's gonna be a problem. But this
season gonna be over for y'all. So are you willing
(23:28):
to waste a season because Ceedee Lamb doesn't report the
camp on top? Because outside of City Lamb, who Dak
Prescott gonna feel comfortable throwing the ball to that he
knows can win one on one.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
On a consistent basis. Maybe no one. I think everybody
else has made you saw cooks.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Somebody will step to the forefront of our somebody somebody will.
But will it be It's not like a level that
they got with and that's the problem. It will, Yes,
it will not. So I need to I need somebody.
I need to be somebody's assistant. GM man, I really do,
like I'm saying that, but I really do.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, well, I really do. I hope people are listening,
you know. I mean, I hope they're paying attention, because
I just need to learn.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Once I learn the game, it's a rap I got
an eye for time, not just receiver, every position man. Yeah,
like I believe that it's almost uh, get out in
front and if you don't get out in front of it,
then he's not a prayer that you want in the future.
If you don't deem him worthy of getting this contract. Now,
it's a guy that we can just move on from.
(24:32):
Just do a good job with that.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
What if you have a situation where financially speaking, you're
waiting to clear a contract or you know, clear a
player that you would have dig cap hit, you know,
potential on and stuff like that. What if it's just
a matter of the current state cap wise that a
team may be in as to why they don't get
(24:54):
the deal done.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That's the business side of it, and that's that's that's
under that's understandable.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
But when it's a CD lamp. See, this is the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
These teams always use, we don't have a cap space
as an excuse, LaVar. Let's let all the people in
on a secret. They always have space always don't believe it.
They always have space. There's so many ways to word
a contract and bonuses. There's always there's always ways to
(25:33):
get a contract done if you want to. They use
the salary cap as an excuse as to why we
can't do this. No, no, no, you can use language
to make it happen. They just choose not to, and
the people fall for it because they don't know any better.
I'm just letting y'all know now, if you want to
(25:55):
get it done, you get it done, no excuse. They
can get it done. But for years it's always, oh,
we don't have a cap space. Oh they don't have Yes,
you do.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
All right, So we'll see how that all plays out.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
There's a familiar name that has joined a familiar show
for this upcoming NFL season. We're going to talk talk
about that on the other side of this trending that
we're going to get from our guy, Isaac loncros so
we can get him out on the road.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
What you got going on, Halo.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Well, we got a championship LeVar and TJ being handed
out at Wimbledon after the Ladies singles final today came
down to the deciding third.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Set Babora Kretschikiva has a third championship point.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Is this the one she says? Big out wide? The
returns coming back a long.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Babora Kritikova is the Wimbledon champion.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Sir Alistair Percival dunbarton the third with the call on
Wimbledon Radio. Actually, I'm just kidding. The guy's name is
Rich anyway, as kray Chikova defeated Italy's Jasmine Palini six
two two, six sixty four. Tomorrow it'll be Novak Djokovic
going up against Carlos al Karaz in the men's singles final.
In the NBA, multiple outlets reported the Denver rookie first
(27:16):
round draft pick Deron Holmes has suffered a torn right
achilles and is expected to miss the upcoming season. Today,
ESPN reported that Veterans center Taj Gibson has agreed to
a one year, three million dollar deal with the Charlotte Hornets.
And finally, one Major League Baseball game going on right now.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, with a one nothing lead at
(27:37):
Detroit in the bottom of the second inning on an
RBI ground out by Freddie Freeman. In the top half
of the first inning, Lovar and TJ.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Take it away, appreciate it. I low enjoyed the rest
of your day. Uh, you do such a fine job.
And speaking of doing a fine job, Bill Belichick, he
did a fine job as the head coach of the Patriots,
but you know they parted ways this year. He has
since started to make his way in front of the
camera on the other side of how things are handled
(28:10):
more from the media versus being the personality that is coaching.
Adding to his list recently Inside the NFL, TJ. He's
going to join the cast with obviously your boy, Chad Johnson,
Ryan Clark, Chris Long.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
This is a long.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Standing show, a long standing format of studio analysts. It's
an NFL films footage shows.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It's I mean.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Back to Nick Bonakhani and Lynn Dawson and so many
that Damn Marino. It's been so many amazing personalities that
have been a part of.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
This show.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
In particular, how do you feel about Bill belichickoining the.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Crew for Inside the NFL. It's on the CW.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
That's interesting, that's an interesting move from HBO and stuff
like that. But what what was your first reaction to
Bill Belichick joining this cast?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I mean, it's more so, uh, Bill seems to be
a good personality when he is in the head coach
of a team, and so if he can maintain that,
which I believed that's who he is, I think he's
gonna be great for TV. Obviously, a wealth of knowledge
(29:36):
when it comes to football and being able to see
and understand what's going on and explain it to the
audience in a way where they understand it. And so,
you know, being a head coach, he operated a certain way,
but seeing him outside of that realm and seeing how
(29:58):
he conducts himself.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
That was just who he was as a head coach.
Who he will be as.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
A analyst as a commentator, I believe, and he's shown
that it's somebody different and that somebody different.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Looks to be a cool Belichick. Compared to.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The way he was as the coach Belichick, it was
just like he was not a good dude. He was
always mad. And this this Belichick, I think a lot
of people can enjoy and they will.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
They will like him.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
You know, the first thing I thought about when I've
heard him accepting these roles. He's going to work with
the Peyton's, the Mannings on the Manning cast he's going
to do. Inside the NFL, A lot of people are
intimidated by the coach, right if you think about bringing
him in. The reports that came out of Atlanta was
(30:57):
that they were, you know, kind of intimidated by his presence,
intimidated by what that could represent. What do you say
to a man that has accomplished what Bill Belichick has accomplished.
I think this is a brilliant approach for Bill Belichick,
and this is exactly what I believe Tom Brady is.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Doing as well.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
This is a brilliant way of building your brand and
building your reputation in a way where you're consumable, where
you're not so much larger than life that you're not relatable.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
When Bill Belichick has done his you know, he was
on stage with the college Game Day crew, he was
with Pat McAfee and his school.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
His wit, and his personality.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
It's like now you get and it's kind of interesting
when you get to see that personality after you've seen
so much of what he is as a head coach
and what he did and how he handled things when
he was winning all of those games. It almost makes
it even better, like way better that the dude is
actually like a funny dude. He's a witty dude, like
the note that he wrote, the email that he wrote
(32:09):
his player and tore his ass up and in the
email it and it just had you laughing the whole time.
To get an opportunity to see him in that that way.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
And in that manner, I think is an.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Excellent way of disarming anyone that could in the future
potentially hire him to be a head coach of their team.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
TJ.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I mean to me, that was my first takeaway on
on what it was with Bill Belichick joining, you know,
these these media outlets to do what it is that
he's doing, so you know, we'll see how that all plays.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Be doing this to show that there is a different
side of him, so that the reluctance of people that
may I don't know if I want to hire him
as much, he's showing a different side to ease that
concern that people may have.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
That's I think that if that's what it is, which
I would assume that that shouldn't be a hard a
hard conclusion of military secret conclusion. It seems like that
makes a ton of sense for him to show that
personality and disarm people.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
So we'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
With Bill Belichick wishing him all the lucky in the
world and the show, Ryan and CJ, all those guys,
everything that's going on.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Jake, you know, long, good luck to that show.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
We're gonna close out, We're gonna wrap up things, and
we're gonna do that with a cornerback from the Bears.
He had some really really cool things to say about
their new quarterback, Caleb Williams. We'll touch on that and
wrap the show up. On the other side of this break,
you're listening to Up on Game.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
That's t J.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Huschman Zada. I'm LeVar Arrington. This is Fox Sports Radio.
All right, welcome back in What's Up on Game Rely
from the tyrack dot Com studios.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
TJ. Huschmansida is LeVar Arrington. Has been a great show.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
If you missed anything, that's okay, you can always go
back and check it out on the podcast. Wherever it
is you get your podcast from. Just type in up
on Game and search what we got going on. It'll
go up shortly after the show. And following our show,
Jonas Knox will be gracing the microphone and he always
has interesting and cool things to talk about as well,
(34:19):
So stay locked in for that also, TJ.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Before we get up out.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Of here, there was a very very nice amount of
complimentary talk from Jalen Johnson, cornerback for the Chicago Bears.
There has been a lot of conversation, a lot of
positive energy coming out of reports on this Chicago Bears team.
(34:44):
Some people may even think that there's the coach of
the Year that is going to come from that team,
the rookie of the Year may come from that team.
And well, Jalen Johnson had this to say about Caleb Williams,
the new rookie quarterback in town, the number one overall
pick to the Bears.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I think, for me, he's just different. He stands out.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
I think his arm talent stands out, his maturity stands out.
Just the way he carries himself stands out. Now, when
you have a veteran in the league that's on the
team and they have positive things to say about.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
You this early on, because generally this.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Is when vets don't like rookies, is the early parts
of it, because they don't know the rules of engagement yet.
I can recall, you know, Bruce Smith being like kind
of like dismissive towards me a little maybe even could
have been considered mean.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I remember being in.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
A pass rush one time we had a game TJ
and Bruce told me, coming out of huddle, just get out.
Well he say like that, just get out of my way, LeVar,
just get just get up the field and just get
out of my way. You know, once I learned what
was going on and I figured out what was going on,
I went from LeVar to La and he wanted to
(36:06):
do all of his stunts with me. And so I
earned that respect and earned that trust from one of
the greatest and the highest sack totals guy to ever
played the game.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But as a rook coming in, I didn't get I didn't.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Get a lot of praises lotted my way from the Vets.
This seems like this is pretty encouraging that Caleb would
receive this type of feedback so soon in his career.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
You know, Caleb Williams is of the last fifteen years,
one of the top quarterback prospects to come into the league,
and some will say maybe the last twenty years.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
You know, you say, what Andrew Luck Yep, some say
Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Maybe at Trevor Lawrence. In Caleb Williams mean into the
league that everybody is like, can't miss, can't miss, can't miss,
And so it doesn't it doesn't surprise me. Calen Williams
was fantastic at Oklahoma, he was fantastic at USC This
(37:16):
past season had some down games, but a s SE
just didn't have that team and players.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
A lot of that didn't have to do with him. No,
a lot of defense.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I'm gonna say of it because when you know, man,
I gotta score every single person.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, they were depending on him to win every game.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
You you're gonna press, You're gonna force some things as
you shouldn't force.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
And people say, oh, he didn't play great against under name.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well, when you know, if I don't score every possession,
we're probably gonna lose. You start to do things that
you normally wouldn't do in a game. And so I
said it when he got drafted or before he got
the Bears are going to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
This year, the Bears had a top ten defense. I'm
gonna running back, running back down the stretch, down the stretch. Oh,
you want to we can better right now we're running back.
I mean, you haven't got the ones that I already bought,
which by the way, I got another paradise in black now,
and they're pretty dope.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Anyway, unless they have injuries. I don't see how the
Bears don't make the playoffs with the defense that they
had down the stretch, and you add Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen,
and Roma Doonze to the mix. I't even mentioned DeAndre Swift.
The Chicago Bears are prying, they're low to make a
(38:37):
playoff run, but it's going to have to start with
Caleb Williams leading away.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I'm not all the.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Way sold that that he'll transition into the league to
that capacity where he sets the world on fire.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
I think CJ.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Stroud may have created a baseline and a measuring standard
that might not be realistic. To be honest, I don't
know exactly how c J. Stroud was able to accomplish
at the highest level that he did in last season,
(39:14):
but what I will say is is intriguing to think
that c J. Stroud wasn't even the number one guy
in his draft, and yet he had one of the
most impressive. I would say his his rookie year was
more impressive than Trevor Lawrence's.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Rookie year, who was easily considered to be the Stroud
might have one of the best rookie seasons of any
quarterback in the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Ever. Yeah, yeah, Ever, I mean he should have been
in a conversation for a player of the Year, not
Rookie of the year.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
He played in a conversation for me at one point
for offensive player of the Year.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
And it's tough for rookie to win it because you're
coming You're basically starting at the bottom of the hill
where everybody else is at the middle of the hill.
Because your your name, nobody nobody assumes a Ricky can
be in contention for that. But Cayler Williams, being a
competitor that he.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Is, you know, he's thinking, he knows what CJ did
like you know, he's aware of it.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
He's a competitor. He's going to try to top that.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
Yes, but how realistic is that that he can do
it with that team around it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Very realistic, with that team around him and his talent,
Very realistic. I don't know Kayler Williams well but I
was able to spend some time with him. I know
him a little bit and that competitiveness, that that that desire,
that want to I'm excited, man to see how this
is gonna play out. The Bears are going to get
(40:50):
to the playoffs on the back of his arm, and
we're gonna be looking back on it saying, Wow, this
kid is what everybody thought he would be.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
You feel confident about that. I do.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
I feel very confident that he will succeed. I just
don't see what the weapons they have on offense how
he doesn't I don't see it.
Speaker 4 (41:11):
I'm excited to see if that happens, because now you're
talking about there's the pressure to hunt it now is
the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 3 (41:19):
They were the hunter, Now they're the hunted.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
And being in that NFC North looking at what it
is that the expectations of the Lions are and knowing
that you have a quarterback in Jordan Love that is
now going to be you know, spotlighted with Green Bay
and now we're talking about what Caleb Williams could represent
for the Chicago Bears. I think that's going to be
(41:43):
pretty exciting to watch, pretty exciting to see how does
that all play out, and what do we see from
Caleb Williams as a rookie. We'll continue to have these
conversations and more, but for now this will do it
for us. This rap, that's t J. Huschmanzada, I'm LeVar Arrington.
