that you disrespect them anyway, it didn't matter who it
was they was putting hands on you.

exact quarterback.

Yay, all right, all right, y'all, welcome into our two
yah at our one got to a lot of different topics,
great conversations as usual with the super dope former football players,
super Bowl champ and Pro Bowler, t J.

Kuschman Zada and Plexico Burst. I'm LeVar Arrington.
Speaker 5 (01:13):

way tire buying should be. We're in our two. As mentioned,
we talked a lot of football, a lot about receivers,
(01:35):
a lot about quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Let's switch up a little bit.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Obviously, our men's basketball team will be playing for goal
versus France, but not without somewhat of a hiccup along
the way.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
They almost let mister Jokic do away with them.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
They were down at for seventeen like seventeen points during
the of their last game against Serbia, but they were
able to get through it to advance to the gold
medal round. What what did you guys see? I felt
like the biggest takeaway from that game. I don't know
about y'all. I know you were on I think you
(02:15):
were on set when when it was taking place, TJ.
But I know for me it was one of the
and I don't even know why, it was such a
big sigh of relief when they came back and won.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I found myself sweating. I was glued to the TV.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
And I just didn't understand why they were down by
so many points. But at some point I thought to myself,
it's like, you know what, this happens to these dudes
during the season. All the time they get down by
a large amount of points, and they always seemed to
find a way to come back, and this was no exception.
They did find a way to come back and they
(02:52):
did eventually win the game.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
What was y'all's takeaway on him? Man, listen, did joke
real deal? And you know what's crazy? The joker played good.
It wasn't a great game by him. It's like, this
is making the people around you that much better.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
This is what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
We had beaten the brakes off of them twice, and
so we went into the game like, oh, we just
gonna beat them again, and you look up and it's
like whoa, we're down seventeen.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Like we're in a production meeting.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
The production meeting was just like, wow, were about to
lead off with this because they may lose. And the
way that light skin assassin said, Hey, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
No, not the light skin assass.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
The lights game, y'all get on my under fire. You know,
y'all under attack, Hey, you wont list Hey, hey, and
what Steph Curry do that light skin assassin and said, hey,
y'all get on my shoulders.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I'm gonna carry you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I got you, dang, and that's what he did. Lebron
had a colonizer again and B congrats on the the
women's national team would just want to go medical grass
young ladies, and B played well down the stretch. But
that was a week had to do. Jokic jup by himself.
(04:15):
Hold on, it was doing him up. This is how
you knew the pressure they felt. Lebron in the fourth
quarter say you know what I got, Yo Kic. I'm
a guardian. He started to guard Yokic. Kd hit a
big shot when we were up to isolation. Two dribbles,
pull up buckets. But to me, now this this gold
medal match against France, the US is not We're not
(04:37):
sleepwalking through this. We are about to put hands in
feet on France. Were about to beat the breaks off
of France. To Mark, I ain't going not the break hey, hey,
hands and feet mark my words.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Listen, I'm just not going to just say that we
are going to blow a France out with Wimby and
ain't go bend those guys. I mean, I think it's
gonna be a competitive basketball game. I mean I'm not
not going to say, hey, we're gonna beat them by
thirty points, because I mean, right now in the NBA,
outside of the Joker win, Bin Yambu is basically close
(05:14):
to unstoppable as it can get when he gets in
the paint. So there's gonna be no answer for him.
You know, defensively, he's going to get his but they're
going to have to find a way to shut France down,
you know, the other players and not just let wemby
and go bad. And those guys just make everybody around
(05:37):
them that much better that we can't compete with France.
So I think it's an be a good basketball game.
I don't think we blow them out. I think we
win the gold medal. But you know, just looking at
you know, the game that we had the other day, man,
the Joker is just so special.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know, you know, he.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Didn't have a forty that that forty twenty and seventeen
or whatever that line may be. But if you want
to talk about it's like the law of the niche
and talking about adding value just him having him on
your on on on your side and on the on
the team. He just makes everybody that much better around him. So, uh,
(06:17):
kudos to us. Stephen Curry came on and dropped thirty
six when we needed him to. And uh so, now
we're going to go into this gold medal game and
I'm gonna sit down and watch the whole entire basketball game.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I think they're gonna thump them.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I don't They're gonna thumpt and they gonna thump them.
I think they got their wake up call, they got
their dose of reality. I could guarantee you the amount
of scrutiny that hit them after that game.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're talking about the best of the best. Scrutiny. It's
not scrutiny.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
It is because, you know what, because they're expected to
dominate every game.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's not supposed to be them getting behind.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
That would getting dominated by the single most dominant player
in the NBA in the United States and the Joker
and one other guy that we didn't even know who
they were.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Somewhere we're talking about Steph Curry, greatest all time, Kevin Durant,
one of the greatest, Lebron James, one of the greatest
of all time, Joel n B one of the last.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
M vps of the league. You got all these elite
players on the court, and one player is the catalyst
of them getting down by seventeen points. He's been doing
the NBA for the last four season. Yeah, I'm gonna
tell you this.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I can guarantee you they ain't letting that baby do
that in the Gold Medal round.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
As good as le me on, he ain't doing it.
He's not doing it in this game. Them boys, I'm
to do it. It ain't gonna blow out.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
They're gonna thump them boys because they it's they got
it's it's this is all about legacy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
This is all about legacy.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
And Lebron is always constantly fighting against everybody telling him
you ain't MJ.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You ain't MJ.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Outside of the ball washers, they called the ball the
ball washers tell him that he's he's the greatest of
all time.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But the bottom line is the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Is especially TJ's Lakers, Lebron Jays.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
He definitely don't don't don't start that.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Hey, but listen, all I would say is they gotta
go out there and they gotta win in an impressive fashion.
You can't limp your way into a gold medal and
then be in the same conversation of the greatest everage.
Sure you'll have a gold medal to go with your
your resume, but we'll always talk about how they limped through.
They barely made it out of the medal round to advance.
(08:46):
They barely. They barely won the gold medal by getting
it in the in the final game.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
They don't want that to be their legacy.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I think they got far when you when you look
at it, though, people can say they barely did this.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
They barely did that. Basketball is a global game.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You you're going back to the nineties and early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's a great point.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It was it was our game in the late nineties
early That's probably was created the problem word game. The
DRID created the problems it was.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's it's now a global game.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like when you say who are the best players in
the NBA, the top three players of the NBA are
three players that weren't born in they're international players or
European players.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yoki and the last two drafts. Two drafts, well, I
mean it's a faults team's fault.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
No, it's nobody fault their players in europe are they're
just good players. They're good players, and so you can say, oh,
you barely did this, but this is an international game.
This is completely different than anybody's face. When we're sitting here.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
We talk about basketball and how so it's international and
so global game. We play a sport, or played a
sport that there's no Olympics for. They got they got flagged.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Now no, but they can't.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You can't play professional football on this level anywhere in
the world.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yeah, and I don't care. I don't how much you
love it or you like it. You ain't catching.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
There's no Olympic football tackle football game. You know a
team You're not going to catch out.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
We play the one sport that you can't play it globally.
It takes compete so long, so long to compete with us.
Could you imagine what an NFL Olympic team football would
look like?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Put you can't even name the eleven starters.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
They wouldn't even get a first down, they wouldn't get
the first game, and.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
You would have to have multiple ambulance is there. I'm
telling you because people they would be getting told hey,
they would be getting folded up.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
You know why that may be true, because the international
basketball game is a little bitre, way more physical.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So so now the football game may be a little
more physical, maybe a little physical.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I mean, imagine bro on the offensive side of the ball,
y'all be scoring so quickly. Y'all would be scoring so
quickly that once the defense got out there, if you
put out the best pass rushers, the best pass rushers
on that field with the blood, it's either it's either
a pick for six or it's gonna be it's going
(11:38):
to be a quarterback begetting Carter they.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Want, they wouldn't have enough.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It'll be like it'll be like Michael Parson's Miles, T. J.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Watt and Williams.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Hey, this what Hey, this is what it will turn into. Hey,
this is exactly what it will turn into. Me and
plex playing offense, we blowing them out. Hey, hey, let
me get some reps corner. Hey, let me let me go.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Let me.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
A LeVar, a LeVar going it tight end on this play.
That's how bad it would be. The offensive players would
want to play defense, the defensive players would want to
play offense because it would be no contest. Yeah, and
this is why it would be great if that could
happen if that could take place, but we would literally
have to send the worst of the worst and we'd
probably still win.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Well, I'll say this, maybe Nick Sirianni wouldn't be the
head coach of that Olympic team.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And I'm gonna tell you though, I'm gonna tell you why.
On the other.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Side of this break, is there problems in paradise in
Philadelphia with the quarterback and the head coach. We're gonna
talk about that and more. This is up one game,
that's t J. Huchman, Zadez, Plexico, burst A, LaVar Arrington.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We will be right back.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Uh Fellas, Now we're we're gonna talk Jalen Hurts and
Nick Sirianni. But if you're watching the game, Cayleb Williams
is already putting some should I say Patrick, I mean so,
I don't know if I feel comfortable saying from Patrick
Mahomes esque type.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Action out there on the field.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But it was almost looked like a no look or
a different type of flip pass to a screenplay or
to his safety valve.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
With his running back. Why do quarterbacks have such.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
A hard time realizing that if the pocket is breaking down,
just get the ball to your your your safety valve,
like as defenders, is one of the worst things we
hate to deal with because generally speaking, running backs alreays
are open for a dump off play to get extra yards,
which takes defense off of being in such aggressive coverage
(14:45):
on the receivers. I don't understand it, but Kayleb Williams
seems to understand it right now as a rookie, and
he just delivered a nice play. Are y'all watching it?
Have y'all seen it? What y'all thinking? Is this something
that we should get used to? Probably should get Kayleb
Williams out of the game right now.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You know what, it looked like? It was almost a screenplay, man, because.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It wasn't screen. It definitely was a screen.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It fell apart quick if they got pressure really fast.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But that's what Kayler Williams is known for.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You know, he'll hold onto the ball, hold onto the ball,
and he just got rid of it right at the
right time. And yeah, DeAndre Swift did the rest. And
so I expect Kayler Williams to come right into the
league and be good right away. The Bears have a
good team offensively and defensively, and so that may be
a crazy division considering in so many good quarterbacks and
(15:36):
good teams in that division.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
All Right, I mean, I'm gonna say this because I'm
gonna just switch us up here because I think that
was good enough explanation with Jalen Hurts all right, now,
Jalen Hurts is one of those quarterbacks. He's a cusp quarterback, right,
could be considered to be an elite quarterback, a franchise quarterback,
could be considered to be maybe potentially underachieving. That could
(16:03):
be the conversation. It could go either way, and this
is a pivotal year for that discussion and that that debate.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's been reports that there had been.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
A rift, a relationship conflict between him and the head coach,
Nick Sirianni, and maybe that was the reason as to
why their season kind of fell off of the rails
last year. There's also been reports that there's maybe concerns
of the respect level for Nick Sirianni as an offensive mind.
(16:37):
There have been a lot of speculation, reports and discussions
coming from the Philadelphia area.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What's y'all's take on this? What needs to happen?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
And I guess the bigger question to me that I'm
trying to answer is once a relationship has been strained
between a an important player and and it's head coach,
how does the team, especially with the quarterback is that fixable?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Is that repairable?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Can they move into the future in a healthy manner
where they can have success?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
How you guys see this? Listen?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
The Eagles started ten and one last year. It wasn't pretty,
but ten and one is ten and one. It seems
as if it was a huge disconnect offensively on what
the coaches wanted to do and what Jalen Hurts wanted
to do. And it came to a head like Jalen
(17:36):
Hurts reached out to Wink Martindale, who's a defensive coordinator
of the Giants, and said, hey.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What do you see?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yes, he did, and our offense like for you to
go not only to a divisional opponent, and Weink knew
he was done with the Giants at that point, but
it was why wouldn't you go to your coaches and
try to figure out, Hey, like, what's wrong? Why when
wearing this front or when they're in this front and
wearing this formation and this protection, what are they doing
(18:08):
to attack our protections?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Like you can sit down with your coaches and figure
that out. He didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
He went to an opposing coach and so to me,
I don't know if that's a slight on what he feels.
As coaches may know and can do about it, but
he didn't go to them. So to me, that's concerning.
I now look at it and say, Nick Sirianni and
Jalen Hurts they need each other because if the Eagles falter,
(18:35):
they both can be gone.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Both gone.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It's not just oh, Sirianni gonna get fired. Jalen Hurts
may be gone as well.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
So Nick is gone first, though you gotta believe he's
the first, that's the first ever to drop it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's very important that they get on the same page.
No benching. They can get out of the contract after
this season, and they can.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Fire the quarterback for Philly. It doesn't right now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's Kenny Pickett is back battling Tennor McKee and I
heard Kenny Pickett is looked decent in camp. But this,
this is the thing though, they gotta figure this out.
You also have a new offensive coordinator and Kellen Moore
who was once thought of as a head coach, and
so he's gonna get on the same page with Jayden
Hurts because he wants to keep himself in that conversation
(19:26):
for it had coaching possibility in the future. So now
Kellen Moore is gonna give it his all. So I
believe the Eagles will figure it out. But it's very
important that Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. They got to get
on the same page.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I don't assert unless sort of think it's them getting
on the same page. I just think that, you know,
a lot of the the results that the Eagles will
get in last year because Jayalen Hurst wouldn't wasn't one
hundred percent. I believe that he was, you know, more
hurt than he was leading everybody to believe. And uh,
(20:01):
you know, I think outside of that San Francisco game
when they just got gassed in the running game, I
had never seen that from a from a Philadelphia you know,
Eagles defense where they just you know, they just got
behind Trenton Williams and they just ran the ball at
will So I don't believe Jalen Hurts is going anywhere.
What I don't agree with and if the if the
(20:24):
Philadelphia Eagles don't do out, don't go out and performed
as well offensively is Kellen Moore, Because what has he
proven in the last three years being on the offensive
coordinator for the last three football Dak Prescott and Justin
and Justin Herbert.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Now you have Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
So I don't really think that he's proven enough from
an offensive coordinator standpoint for you know, for him to
go out and be the O coordinator for the Eagles
and hang all of the blame on Jalen Hurts. So
I think that's gonna be something that people are gonna
have to take a look at. Is who is Kellen
Moore and what is he done? So I don't think
(21:00):
Jalen Hurts is going anywhere. I think he's a franchise
quarterback for his team. When he's healthy, he's a top
five quarterback in my eyes. But for Nick Sirianni, mean,
Philadelphia is a place where you have to win.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We know that place she got.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
It's a media market, just like playing Chicago, just like
playing in New York, just like playing in LA. It's
a place where you have to win if you're not
getting it done. It's just hard to believe that they
were two years removed just from a Super Bowl dug
they finished they started this season ten and one and
they couldn't get to twelve wins. That's unbelievable. For the
(21:38):
drop off that they had the last part of the season.
It's just you don't see that from a Philadelphia Eagles
football team, And I believe that's.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
What put him in the hot water.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Start off the season ten and one, being the best
team in the NFC and arguably in the league at
that time, and you don't get the twelve wins. So
I don't think that's they're going to get off to
a ten and one start this year. They make it
the twelve wins, but I think last year that last
yet of the season, they won't. It won't be the
(22:13):
same as last year. That would this year, but they
have to win the division. I mean, if they don't
win the division, it's going to be so hard to
get into the playoffs as a wildcard audition in NFC,
because I just believe they're going to be They're going
to be a couple of surprises in the NFC between
(22:34):
I believe Green Bay Detroit. We don't know how that's
going to go. You don't know if this guy Jayden
Dames is going to come in and light it up.
So they're going to be two or three teams in
the NFC that they're going to steal some spots that
are going to be dark horses into this division.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
All right, Deon Sanders, let's jump into college football. He
had to be their prime. He had Yeah, happy birthday.
Oh g. He had some interesting things to say.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
But before we talk about that, let's get an update
from our guy, Isaac who oh and.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Prone beautifully said, Oh, yes, you are bring you in
the right way, my guy. Well, the US did it
the right way in the gold medal match in women's
soccer a short time ago, defeating Brazil to win gold
one to nothing, and what a story. The only goal
of the match scored by Mallory Swanson in the fifty
seventh minute. At this time, a year ago, she was
(23:29):
recovering from a torn patellattendon that caused her to miss
the twenty twenty three World Cup. But today, in her
one hundredth appearance for the US national team, she scores
the game winning goal in the gold medal match as
the United States defeated Brazil won nothing. US goalkeeper a
Listen Nayer made a number of clutch saves, most notably
(23:50):
a spectacular right handed save on a Brazil header in
second half stoppage time. Cubag of a three point thirty
eastern the gold medal game in men's basketball between Tea
and France. Two NFL preseason games going on right now.
The Chicago Bears, on two field goals, have a six
to nothing lead at Buffalo with two thirteen left in
(24:11):
the first quarter. Chicago rookie Caleb Williams completed his first
four passes for ninety five yards. Three incompletions after that,
but still a strong start four out of four for
ninety five yards to start his first preseason appearance. At halftime,
the Washington Commanders and New York Jets are tied to
(24:32):
ted at MetLife Stadium. Washington rookie quarterback Jaydon Daniels played
one drive, led the Commanders seventy yards at eleven plays
for a touchdown that included a forty two yard completion
to Diami Brown, and then Daniels caped off that drive
with a three yard touchdown. Ron Fellas back to.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You appreciated Illo. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my guy,
go out there, get some sun rays and smile.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
And you know what dropped the top on that beautiful
car that Oh wait, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You're right, You're right, okay, drop the drop top and
go ahead, throw them sunglasses on.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
And cruise, describing one of my many vehicles.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
There you go, that's my dog right there, all right,
that's Isaac Glow and crown. And speaking of my dog man,
my man Deon Sanders, my former teammate, my homie, my
man with Jama. Uh well, he hit the news this week, guys,
and uh well he he didn't want to take questions
from a CBS local. Uh, a local guy. Uh there's
(25:32):
three possibilities as to why. Uh there it was some
you know, hard feelings. And y'all tell me if he
if this is warranted or if it's not. You know,
one is out of sixteen coaches, Dion was ranked fifteenth
best coach in the Big twelve. Uh them talking about
(25:56):
the Buffalo's having an uphill climb to get to a
bowl game. And the third one probably being the most
if you ask me, the most egregious one. Lee kids
generally you got to say are off limits, but when
they are on your team and they're a player, they
kind of are touchable, so to speak. And and obviously
(26:18):
there have been reports and filings of uh Silo's bankruptcy
deal connected to some some controversial happenings back when he.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Was in high school. How do you guys feel about
this man?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Because it's like there there continues to be kind of
stories circulating there talking about the locker room culture. Maybe
the act is running thin uh in Colorado with with
Deon Sanders coach Prime uh and what's going on there
just seems.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
To be kind of a build up taking place. This
could be a.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Very difficult year for for I mean at any measure
or really for any.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Coach to have a successful year.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
He and all intensive purposes, he had a successful year
last season. I mean they didn't have a winning record,
they didn't win a lot of games, but it was
much more than what they did before they got there.
And if you're going to talk about the biggest win
Deon Sanders made Colorado Colorado football. And when I say Colorado,
I mean Colorado, y'all, the whole entire state. They benefited
(27:28):
from the Deon Sanders effect that he brought there. Where
are you guys at with Prime right now? Did you
think he handled the situation properly? I almost feel like
by not talking to the local affiliate reporter based upon
some of the reasons that may be given, maybe considered disrespectful,
(27:48):
could be a violation by going after the kid, whatever
it may be, Do you think he handled it the
right way? And where do you see this going? Do
you see this being a year where Deon gets the
last as much of a big fan of Prime and
what he's done. He's brought sap on to the coaching staff.
(28:08):
He's done so many things that you would say takes
this team and this program and even college football into
an amazing realm of.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Just looking at how to do things differently.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
He could It's possible he could be in over his
head being in the Big Twelve with the team that
he has, And again, I think that could be for
any coach. You could say that for any coach that's
a newcomer to that conference.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
What say you, guys number one? Who like?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Do they not respect his coaching acumen? Like fifteen out
of who's in the Big twelve? When I say that,
who is favored to win the Big Twelve this season?
And so like Oklahoma's no longer in the Big twelve,
Texas is no longer in the Big twelve?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Who's the favorite?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Colorado has as good of a chance as anybody. You
would say probably Utah is going to win the Big twelve.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
And they have Kyle Winningham, which is interesting because coming
from P twelve there you go just like Prime, he's
coming from the PAC twelve as well.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
They have him rated number one. Then they have Lance
what's his name.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Lipold Leepold for Kansas Kansas State next with Chris Kleman
Oklahoma State with coach John d Yeah, hecu with Sonny
Dyke's Iowa State at six with Matt Campbell Houston at seven,
which Houston has been some trash.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
They got him with.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Willie Fritz UCF with Gus Suzon.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
So it to me LeVar, it's they didn't play well
last year Colorado. They they got off to a pretty
good start in and then they didn't have the guys
up front on both sides of the ball to compete
like you you have all the skilled players the world.
They weren't good enough where it matters the most, and
that's the middle of the field. And so Prime is
(30:08):
going to have to have some teams have stand power,
meaning he'll have to win nine ten games, eight nine games,
continue to win and improve because they're just looking at
him as oh, he's a guy. That's because he's Prime.
He gonna track recruits, he's gonna be flashy, he's gonna
do this, but they not gonna win.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
So David Cobb is the guy who wrote the wrote
the piece ranking the coaches.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So oh, it's his ranking and it's not like the
other picks. It's his ranking. It looks like Yeah. So
he may not like Prime, he may have had some
runs run ins with him, and he just doesn't like him.
But there's gonna be some things that Prime may have
to handle better. As far as when you do these
press conferences and I'm not answering your question because of
(30:57):
what you wrote or what you said, and those that
act is gonna wear thin if you don't win. And
that's the thing. And so you can do all of that.
As long as you wining, they can say what they
want to say. We're winning games. And as soon as
you don't win, it's all. The culture at Colorado is terrible.
(31:17):
The culture, the locker room in the way, listen, man,
Colorado was awful when he took the job. The only
way to get better is to get rid of those
awful players. You got to get rid of those players.
And did he go about it the way that others
probably would have probably not.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
He went about it the way Prime would go about.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
That's that's his way. I'm trying to win games. That's Dion.
He's trying to win games. So he got to get
rid of the people that don't help him win games.
And if you don't like the way I'm getting rid
of them, so bid. And if they your kids, tell
them to get better.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
We are in a performance driven business. Straight.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
He's going to have to win football game from here
on out because, just like you said, the whole everything
of the Colorado the whole the culture, it's wearing thin
when you're two people and the fans and the media
when you're you're talking, but it's not resulting.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
It's not having the results.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Of uh, you know, being better or you know making
this uh you know Colorado football program better. But I
think they'll be better this year. I think they struggled
offensively from an offensive line standpoint. Uh, you know, Shador
came out. Ever since that they came out. They got
the big win against tc U last year. He got
off to a good start and didn't end up the
(32:42):
way that they thought it would be. But man, listen,
I've known I've known Prime since I came into the
league in two thousand. He's going He's going to speak
his mind no matter what. It doesn't care if you're
media or if you're just a regular person, civilian walking
around the street. He's going to be himself and he's
not going to get away from being he who he
is because if you know him, then you know.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Who you know who he is as a person. He
wears everything on his sleeve. You ain't even got to
wonder where he's at with you. It doesn't matter who
you are, and he's always been that way.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
But you know, when you now that he's the headquater
of this program, you're expected to conduct yourself in a
certain manner as a head coach.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Prime's not that guy. He's gonna continue to be.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
To Dean, I'm saying that I've known and every that
you know LeVar, he's not gonna change.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So if you don't like it, he doesn't care.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
But what it all comes down to is the end
is winning football games.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
He knows it.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
And everybody else knows it, and I think he'll get
a turn around this year.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
That's Plexico Burts t J. Hutchman's ouder.

(35:19):
Baby Shud, I know about that, all right. Welcome back
in relyve from tyrack dot Com studio St. J.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Hitchman's Eyes, Flexco Burds. I'm LeVar Arrington.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Immediately following the show Jonas Knox, I do believe it's
Jonas back yet. Jonas was high sighting us this past week.
He was off, you know, he got that new money.
He took a whole entire week off. All Right, he's
back on there. Make sure you stay locked in for
the Jonas Knock Show. I'm sure he'll have a lot
to talk about having so much time off.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Fellas before we get out of here.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
And it's it's not very often that we well, not
really at all, but we all have our own business
ventures and we talk about, you know, what we have
going on and stuff like that. I made I made
headlines this week with with a news article talking about
you know me, my entry into uh Penn State and
(36:13):
helping out with nil us launching a disrupt you platform.
I just wanted to get y'all kind of take on
it before we get up out of here. You know,
the one thing that led me to to working with
the nils in the NIL spaces, our players have needed
so much help in building their brands, understanding what what
(36:35):
brand value represents. There's a process and a protocol connected
to those things. You guys are two guys that have
built your brands and have grown your brands and have
grown your communities UH and have created business from it.
You know you you know Ples you're doing what you're
doing with the smoothie shop that you have. You know, TJ,
(36:55):
you're doing what you're doing with UH with the Flag
Football League, and these things are growing. But there's also
understanding the process of building the value. I just got
tired of listening to all the begging. You know, it's
like if you're an alumni, if you're someone who has
an interest in a school, it seems like it's synonymous
(37:17):
with Now it's given everybody to greenlight to beg fans
and beg alumni for more money, when you know that's
already being done in other areas. Right So to me,
working with iHeartRadio, working with Fox Sports Radio, we created
an opportunity to actually not only.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
You know, look at nil in.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
A way where we're looking for solutions, but to actually
bring some substance to that by by giving them, you know,
giving these these student athletes the opportunity to build their
brands and then be represented or representing companies that are
actually advertising with iHeart with Fox Sports Radio. How you
(38:00):
guys feel about this, man Like, how you guys feel
about like building brands, college athletes getting like a more
opportunity to get.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Noticed that way. I mean, for you, LeVar, I know
you've been doing this a while now.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I will say what the last five six years you'll
been you've been working on trying to figure out the
way best that you could help players monetize their name,
image and likeness, and specifically players Penn State players because
you love your school so much.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
And so.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
The way college football is situated now and organized now,
if you have somebody like yourself that can help players
make this money, because it's too many times that you
see the guys that are making money, but it's too
many times where players are getting taken advantage of and
the business side of it isn't right. I just read
a story where it's a player of Florida State. His
(38:57):
agent started trying to find him in IL deals and
Florida State was like, you got to go, Like they're
trying to get him to transfer, and then that transfer
was getting him money and the school found out about
it and you gotta leave, and so they went about
it the wrong way. So somebody with you that's kind
of been through it, you're gonna do a great job
with it, for sure.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Last word, bucks, Uh, you know what I have this
conversation with my son man, is you know, how do
we get here? We didn't get here, you know, chasing
and IL deals and money. We got here through the
product of hard work. And I just think that, you know,
for him to be able to I'm personally real quick
(39:38):
to make a decision.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
You know, I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna go to know.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
The dame and I'm not going to look at all
the other situations, even though it's money on the line.
I said, why not you turned down?
Speaker 2 (39:47):
You know whatever? Whatever, Well, you know what, we gotta
go next year, we gotta go.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
That's a big one. Hey, listen, it'spot Sports Radio up
on game. We'll check you out.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Peace
This is up on game.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let me putch up, pick, let me putch out on team.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
You want NFL experience, and this is the show for you.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Third Law all draws with LeVar ary Ten as a
defensive guy. TJ.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Houshman Zanna.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm just bringing the viewers into how grown men in
the locker room, Like I don't play with some dude
that you disrespect them anyway, it didn't matter who it
was they was putting hands on you.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
And Blaxico Burres, they are the same person, the same
exact quarterback.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It's a show with three of the best to ever
do it on and off the field, and now live
from the tai iraq dot com studios of Fox Sports Radio.
Here's Pro Bowlers LeVar aary Ten, TJ. Hushman, Sanna, and
Super Bowl chimpion Blaxico Burres.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Yay, all right, all right, y'all, welcome into our two
yah at our one got to a lot of different topics,
great conversations as usual with the super dope former football players,
super Bowl champ and Pro Bowler, t J.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Kuschman Zada and Plexico Burst. I'm LeVar Arrington.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
We are broadcasting live from the Tyrack dot com Studios.
Tire rack dot Com will help you get there an
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection, and
over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti rack dot com the
way tire buying should be. We're in our two. As mentioned,
we talked a lot of football, a lot about receivers,
(01:35):
a lot about quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Let's switch up a little bit.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Obviously, our men's basketball team will be playing for goal
versus France, but not without somewhat of a hiccup along
the way.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
They almost let mister Jokic do away with them.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
They were down at for seventeen like seventeen points during
the of their last game against Serbia, but they were
able to get through it to advance to the gold
medal round. What what did you guys see? I felt
like the biggest takeaway from that game. I don't know
about y'all. I know you were on I think you
(02:15):
were on set when when it was taking place, TJ.
But I know for me it was one of the
and I don't even know why, it was such a
big sigh of relief when they came back and won.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I found myself sweating. I was glued to the TV.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
And I just didn't understand why they were down by
so many points. But at some point I thought to myself,
it's like, you know what, this happens to these dudes
during the season. All the time they get down by
a large amount of points, and they always seemed to
find a way to come back, and this was no exception.
They did find a way to come back and they
(02:52):
did eventually win the game.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
What was y'all's takeaway on him? Man, listen, did joke
real deal? And you know what's crazy? The joker played good.
It wasn't a great game by him. It's like, this
is making the people around you that much better.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
This is what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
We had beaten the brakes off of them twice, and
so we went into the game like, oh, we just
gonna beat them again, and you look up and it's
like whoa, we're down seventeen.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Like we're in a production meeting.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
The production meeting was just like, wow, were about to
lead off with this because they may lose. And the
way that light skin assassin said, Hey, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
No, not the light skin assass.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
The lights game, y'all get on my under fire. You know,
y'all under attack, Hey, you wont list Hey, hey, and
what Steph Curry do that light skin assassin and said, hey,
y'all get on my shoulders.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I'm gonna carry you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I got you, dang, and that's what he did. Lebron
had a colonizer again and B congrats on the the
women's national team would just want to go medical grass
young ladies, and B played well down the stretch. But
that was a week had to do. Jokic jup by himself.
(04:15):
Hold on, it was doing him up. This is how
you knew the pressure they felt. Lebron in the fourth
quarter say you know what I got, Yo Kic. I'm
a guardian. He started to guard Yokic. Kd hit a
big shot when we were up to isolation. Two dribbles,
pull up buckets. But to me, now this this gold
medal match against France, the US is not We're not
(04:37):
sleepwalking through this. We are about to put hands in
feet on France. Were about to beat the breaks off
of France. To Mark, I ain't going not the break hey, hey,
hands and feet mark my words.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Listen, I'm just not going to just say that we
are going to blow a France out with Wimby and
ain't go bend those guys. I mean, I think it's
gonna be a competitive basketball game. I mean I'm not
not going to say, hey, we're gonna beat them by
thirty points, because I mean, right now in the NBA,
outside of the Joker win, Bin Yambu is basically close
(05:14):
to unstoppable as it can get when he gets in
the paint. So there's gonna be no answer for him.
You know, defensively, he's going to get his but they're
going to have to find a way to shut France down,
you know, the other players and not just let wemby
and go bad. And those guys just make everybody around
(05:37):
them that much better that we can't compete with France.
So I think it's an be a good basketball game.
I don't think we blow them out. I think we
win the gold medal. But you know, just looking at
you know, the game that we had the other day, man,
the Joker is just so special.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You know, you know, he.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Didn't have a forty that that forty twenty and seventeen
or whatever that line may be. But if you want
to talk about it's like the law of the niche
and talking about adding value just him having him on
your on on on your side and on the on
the team. He just makes everybody that much better around him. So, uh,
(06:17):
kudos to us. Stephen Curry came on and dropped thirty
six when we needed him to. And uh so, now
we're going to go into this gold medal game and
I'm gonna sit down and watch the whole entire basketball game.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I think they're gonna thump them.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I don't They're gonna thumpt and they gonna thump them.
I think they got their wake up call, they got
their dose of reality. I could guarantee you the amount
of scrutiny that hit them after that game.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're talking about the best of the best. Scrutiny. It's
not scrutiny.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
It is because, you know what, because they're expected to
dominate every game.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
It's not supposed to be them getting behind.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
That would getting dominated by the single most dominant player
in the NBA in the United States and the Joker
and one other guy that we didn't even know who
they were.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Somewhere we're talking about Steph Curry, greatest all time, Kevin Durant,
one of the greatest, Lebron James, one of the greatest
of all time, Joel n B one of the last.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
M vps of the league. You got all these elite
players on the court, and one player is the catalyst
of them getting down by seventeen points. He's been doing
the NBA for the last four season. Yeah, I'm gonna
tell you this.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I can guarantee you they ain't letting that baby do
that in the Gold Medal round.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
As good as le me on, he ain't doing it.
He's not doing it in this game. Them boys, I'm
to do it. It ain't gonna blow out.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
They're gonna thump them boys because they it's they got
it's it's this is all about legacy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
This is all about legacy.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
And Lebron is always constantly fighting against everybody telling him
you ain't MJ.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You ain't MJ.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Outside of the ball washers, they called the ball the
ball washers tell him that he's he's the greatest of
all time.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
But the bottom line is the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Is especially TJ's Lakers, Lebron Jays.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
He definitely don't don't don't start that.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Hey, but listen, all I would say is they gotta
go out there and they gotta win in an impressive fashion.
You can't limp your way into a gold medal and
then be in the same conversation of the greatest everage.
Sure you'll have a gold medal to go with your
your resume, but we'll always talk about how they limped through.
They barely made it out of the medal round to advance.
(08:46):
They barely. They barely won the gold medal by getting
it in the in the final game.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
They don't want that to be their legacy.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I think they got far when you when you look
at it, though, people can say they barely did this.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
They barely did that. Basketball is a global game.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You you're going back to the nineties and early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
That's a great point.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It was it was our game in the late nineties
early That's probably was created the problem word game. The
DRID created the problems it was.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's it's now a global game.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Like when you say who are the best players in
the NBA, the top three players of the NBA are
three players that weren't born in they're international players or
European players.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Yoki and the last two drafts. Two drafts, well, I
mean it's a faults team's fault.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
No, it's nobody fault their players in europe are they're
just good players. They're good players, and so you can say, oh,
you barely did this, but this is an international game.
This is completely different than anybody's face. When we're sitting here.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
We talk about basketball and how so it's international and
so global game. We play a sport, or played a
sport that there's no Olympics for. They got they got flagged.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Now no, but they can't.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You can't play professional football on this level anywhere in
the world.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yeah, and I don't care. I don't how much you
love it or you like it. You ain't catching.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
There's no Olympic football tackle football game. You know a
team You're not going to catch out.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
We play the one sport that you can't play it globally.
It takes compete so long, so long to compete with us.
Could you imagine what an NFL Olympic team football would
look like?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Put you can't even name the eleven starters.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
They wouldn't even get a first down, they wouldn't get
the first game, and.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
You would have to have multiple ambulance is there. I'm
telling you because people they would be getting told hey,
they would be getting folded up.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
You know why that may be true, because the international
basketball game is a little bitre, way more physical.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
So so now the football game may be a little
more physical, maybe a little physical.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I mean, imagine bro on the offensive side of the ball,
y'all be scoring so quickly. Y'all would be scoring so
quickly that once the defense got out there, if you
put out the best pass rushers, the best pass rushers
on that field with the blood, it's either it's either
a pick for six or it's gonna be it's going
(11:38):
to be a quarterback begetting Carter they.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Want, they wouldn't have enough.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It'll be like it'll be like Michael Parson's Miles, T. J.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Watt and Williams.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Hey, this what Hey, this is what it will turn into. Hey,
this is exactly what it will turn into. Me and
plex playing offense, we blowing them out. Hey, hey, let
me get some reps corner. Hey, let me let me go.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Let me.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
A LeVar, a LeVar going it tight end on this play.
That's how bad it would be. The offensive players would
want to play defense, the defensive players would want to
play offense because it would be no contest. Yeah, and
this is why it would be great if that could
happen if that could take place, but we would literally
have to send the worst of the worst and we'd
probably still win.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Well, I'll say this, maybe Nick Sirianni wouldn't be the
head coach of that Olympic team.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And I'm gonna tell you though, I'm gonna tell you why.
On the other.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
Side of this break, is there problems in paradise in
Philadelphia with the quarterback and the head coach. We're gonna
talk about that and more. This is up one game,
that's t J. Huchman, Zadez, Plexico, burst A, LaVar Arrington.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We will be right back.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Uh Fellas, Now we're we're gonna talk Jalen Hurts and
Nick Sirianni. But if you're watching the game, Cayleb Williams
is already putting some should I say Patrick, I mean so,
I don't know if I feel comfortable saying from Patrick
Mahomes esque type.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Action out there on the field.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But it was almost looked like a no look or
a different type of flip pass to a screenplay or
to his safety valve.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
With his running back. Why do quarterbacks have such.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
A hard time realizing that if the pocket is breaking down,
just get the ball to your your your safety valve,
like as defenders, is one of the worst things we
hate to deal with because generally speaking, running backs alreays
are open for a dump off play to get extra yards,
which takes defense off of being in such aggressive coverage
(14:45):
on the receivers. I don't understand it, but Kayleb Williams
seems to understand it right now as a rookie, and
he just delivered a nice play. Are y'all watching it?
Have y'all seen it? What y'all thinking? Is this something
that we should get used to? Probably should get Kayleb
Williams out of the game right now.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You know what, it looked like? It was almost a screenplay, man, because.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It wasn't screen. It definitely was a screen.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
It fell apart quick if they got pressure really fast.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But that's what Kayler Williams is known for.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You know, he'll hold onto the ball, hold onto the ball,
and he just got rid of it right at the
right time. And yeah, DeAndre Swift did the rest. And
so I expect Kayler Williams to come right into the
league and be good right away. The Bears have a
good team offensively and defensively, and so that may be
a crazy division considering in so many good quarterbacks and
(15:36):
good teams in that division.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
All Right, I mean, I'm gonna say this because I'm
gonna just switch us up here because I think that
was good enough explanation with Jalen Hurts all right, now,
Jalen Hurts is one of those quarterbacks. He's a cusp quarterback, right,
could be considered to be an elite quarterback, a franchise quarterback,
could be considered to be maybe potentially underachieving. That could
(16:03):
be the conversation. It could go either way, and this
is a pivotal year for that discussion and that that debate.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's been reports that there had been.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
A rift, a relationship conflict between him and the head coach,
Nick Sirianni, and maybe that was the reason as to
why their season kind of fell off of the rails
last year. There's also been reports that there's maybe concerns
of the respect level for Nick Sirianni as an offensive mind.
(16:37):
There have been a lot of speculation, reports and discussions
coming from the Philadelphia area.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
What's y'all's take on this? What needs to happen?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
And I guess the bigger question to me that I'm
trying to answer is once a relationship has been strained
between a an important player and and it's head coach,
how does the team, especially with the quarterback is that fixable?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Is that repairable?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Can they move into the future in a healthy manner
where they can have success?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
How you guys see this? Listen?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
The Eagles started ten and one last year. It wasn't pretty,
but ten and one is ten and one. It seems
as if it was a huge disconnect offensively on what
the coaches wanted to do and what Jalen Hurts wanted
to do. And it came to a head like Jalen
(17:36):
Hurts reached out to Wink Martindale, who's a defensive coordinator
of the Giants, and said, hey.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What do you see?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yes, he did, and our offense like for you to
go not only to a divisional opponent, and Weink knew
he was done with the Giants at that point, but
it was why wouldn't you go to your coaches and
try to figure out, Hey, like, what's wrong? Why when
wearing this front or when they're in this front and
wearing this formation and this protection, what are they doing
(18:08):
to attack our protections?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Like you can sit down with your coaches and figure
that out. He didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
He went to an opposing coach and so to me,
I don't know if that's a slight on what he feels.
As coaches may know and can do about it, but
he didn't go to them. So to me, that's concerning.
I now look at it and say, Nick Sirianni and
Jalen Hurts they need each other because if the Eagles falter,
(18:35):
they both can be gone.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Both gone.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It's not just oh, Sirianni gonna get fired. Jalen Hurts
may be gone as well.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
So Nick is gone first, though you gotta believe he's
the first, that's the first ever to drop it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's very important that they get on the same page.
No benching. They can get out of the contract after
this season, and they can.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Fire the quarterback for Philly. It doesn't right now.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's Kenny Pickett is back battling Tennor McKee and I
heard Kenny Pickett is looked decent in camp. But this,
this is the thing though, they gotta figure this out.
You also have a new offensive coordinator and Kellen Moore
who was once thought of as a head coach, and
so he's gonna get on the same page with Jayden
Hurts because he wants to keep himself in that conversation
(19:26):
for it had coaching possibility in the future. So now
Kellen Moore is gonna give it his all. So I
believe the Eagles will figure it out. But it's very
important that Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. They got to get
on the same page.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
I don't assert unless sort of think it's them getting
on the same page. I just think that, you know,
a lot of the the results that the Eagles will
get in last year because Jayalen Hurst wouldn't wasn't one
hundred percent. I believe that he was, you know, more
hurt than he was leading everybody to believe. And uh,
(20:01):
you know, I think outside of that San Francisco game
when they just got gassed in the running game, I
had never seen that from a from a Philadelphia you know,
Eagles defense where they just you know, they just got
behind Trenton Williams and they just ran the ball at
will So I don't believe Jalen Hurts is going anywhere.
What I don't agree with and if the if the
(20:24):
Philadelphia Eagles don't do out, don't go out and performed
as well offensively is Kellen Moore, Because what has he
proven in the last three years being on the offensive
coordinator for the last three football Dak Prescott and Justin
and Justin Herbert.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Now you have Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
So I don't really think that he's proven enough from
an offensive coordinator standpoint for you know, for him to
go out and be the O coordinator for the Eagles
and hang all of the blame on Jalen Hurts. So
I think that's gonna be something that people are gonna
have to take a look at. Is who is Kellen
Moore and what is he done? So I don't think
(21:00):
Jalen Hurts is going anywhere. I think he's a franchise
quarterback for his team. When he's healthy, he's a top
five quarterback in my eyes. But for Nick Sirianni, mean,
Philadelphia is a place where you have to win.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We know that place she got.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
It's a media market, just like playing Chicago, just like
playing in New York, just like playing in LA. It's
a place where you have to win if you're not
getting it done. It's just hard to believe that they
were two years removed just from a Super Bowl dug
they finished they started this season ten and one and
they couldn't get to twelve wins. That's unbelievable. For the
(21:38):
drop off that they had the last part of the season.
It's just you don't see that from a Philadelphia Eagles
football team, And I believe that's.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
What put him in the hot water.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Start off the season ten and one, being the best
team in the NFC and arguably in the league at
that time, and you don't get the twelve wins. So
I don't think that's they're going to get off to
a ten and one start this year. They make it
the twelve wins, but I think last year that last
yet of the season, they won't. It won't be the
(22:13):
same as last year. That would this year, but they
have to win the division. I mean, if they don't
win the division, it's going to be so hard to
get into the playoffs as a wildcard audition in NFC,
because I just believe they're going to be They're going
to be a couple of surprises in the NFC between
(22:34):
I believe Green Bay Detroit. We don't know how that's
going to go. You don't know if this guy Jayden
Dames is going to come in and light it up.
So they're going to be two or three teams in
the NFC that they're going to steal some spots that
are going to be dark horses into this division.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
All right, Deon Sanders, let's jump into college football. He
had to be their prime. He had Yeah, happy birthday.
Oh g. He had some interesting things to say.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
But before we talk about that, let's get an update
from our guy, Isaac who oh and.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Prone beautifully said, Oh, yes, you are bring you in
the right way, my guy. Well, the US did it
the right way in the gold medal match in women's
soccer a short time ago, defeating Brazil to win gold
one to nothing, and what a story. The only goal
of the match scored by Mallory Swanson in the fifty
seventh minute. At this time, a year ago, she was
(23:29):
recovering from a torn patellattendon that caused her to miss
the twenty twenty three World Cup. But today, in her
one hundredth appearance for the US national team, she scores
the game winning goal in the gold medal match as
the United States defeated Brazil won nothing. US goalkeeper a
Listen Nayer made a number of clutch saves, most notably
(23:50):
a spectacular right handed save on a Brazil header in
second half stoppage time. Cubag of a three point thirty
eastern the gold medal game in men's basketball between Tea
and France. Two NFL preseason games going on right now.
The Chicago Bears, on two field goals, have a six
to nothing lead at Buffalo with two thirteen left in
(24:11):
the first quarter. Chicago rookie Caleb Williams completed his first
four passes for ninety five yards. Three incompletions after that,
but still a strong start four out of four for
ninety five yards to start his first preseason appearance. At halftime,
the Washington Commanders and New York Jets are tied to
(24:32):
ted at MetLife Stadium. Washington rookie quarterback Jaydon Daniels played
one drive, led the Commanders seventy yards at eleven plays
for a touchdown that included a forty two yard completion
to Diami Brown, and then Daniels caped off that drive
with a three yard touchdown. Ron Fellas back to.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You appreciated Illo. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my guy,
go out there, get some sun rays and smile.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
And you know what dropped the top on that beautiful
car that Oh wait, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You're right, You're right, okay, drop the drop top and
go ahead, throw them sunglasses on.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
And cruise, describing one of my many vehicles.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
There you go, that's my dog right there, all right,
that's Isaac Glow and crown. And speaking of my dog man,
my man Deon Sanders, my former teammate, my homie, my
man with Jama. Uh well, he hit the news this week, guys,
and uh well he he didn't want to take questions
from a CBS local. Uh, a local guy. Uh there's
(25:32):
three possibilities as to why. Uh there it was some
you know, hard feelings. And y'all tell me if he
if this is warranted or if it's not. You know,
one is out of sixteen coaches, Dion was ranked fifteenth
best coach in the Big twelve. Uh them talking about
(25:56):
the Buffalo's having an uphill climb to get to a
bowl game. And the third one probably being the most
if you ask me, the most egregious one. Lee kids
generally you got to say are off limits, but when
they are on your team and they're a player, they
kind of are touchable, so to speak. And and obviously
(26:18):
there have been reports and filings of uh Silo's bankruptcy
deal connected to some some controversial happenings back when he.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Was in high school. How do you guys feel about
this man?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Because it's like there there continues to be kind of
stories circulating there talking about the locker room culture. Maybe
the act is running thin uh in Colorado with with
Deon Sanders coach Prime uh and what's going on there
just seems.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
To be kind of a build up taking place. This
could be a.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Very difficult year for for I mean at any measure
or really for any.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Coach to have a successful year.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
He and all intensive purposes, he had a successful year
last season. I mean they didn't have a winning record,
they didn't win a lot of games, but it was
much more than what they did before they got there.
And if you're going to talk about the biggest win
Deon Sanders made Colorado Colorado football. And when I say Colorado,
I mean Colorado, y'all, the whole entire state. They benefited
(27:28):
from the Deon Sanders effect that he brought there. Where
are you guys at with Prime right now? Did you
think he handled the situation properly? I almost feel like
by not talking to the local affiliate reporter based upon
some of the reasons that may be given, maybe considered disrespectful,
(27:48):
could be a violation by going after the kid, whatever
it may be, Do you think he handled it the
right way? And where do you see this going? Do
you see this being a year where Deon gets the
last as much of a big fan of Prime and
what he's done. He's brought sap on to the coaching staff.
(28:08):
He's done so many things that you would say takes
this team and this program and even college football into
an amazing realm of.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Just looking at how to do things differently.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
He could It's possible he could be in over his
head being in the Big Twelve with the team that
he has, And again, I think that could be for
any coach. You could say that for any coach that's
a newcomer to that conference.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
What say you, guys number one? Who like?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Do they not respect his coaching acumen? Like fifteen out
of who's in the Big twelve? When I say that,
who is favored to win the Big Twelve this season?
And so like Oklahoma's no longer in the Big twelve,
Texas is no longer in the Big twelve?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Who's the favorite?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Colorado has as good of a chance as anybody. You
would say probably Utah is going to win the Big twelve.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
And they have Kyle Winningham, which is interesting because coming
from P twelve there you go just like Prime, he's
coming from the PAC twelve as well.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
They have him rated number one. Then they have Lance
what's his name.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Lipold Leepold for Kansas Kansas State next with Chris Kleman
Oklahoma State with coach John d Yeah, hecu with Sonny
Dyke's Iowa State at six with Matt Campbell Houston at seven,
which Houston has been some trash.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
They got him with.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Willie Fritz UCF with Gus Suzon.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
So it to me LeVar, it's they didn't play well
last year Colorado. They they got off to a pretty
good start in and then they didn't have the guys
up front on both sides of the ball to compete
like you you have all the skilled players the world.
They weren't good enough where it matters the most, and
that's the middle of the field. And so Prime is
(30:08):
going to have to have some teams have stand power,
meaning he'll have to win nine ten games, eight nine games,
continue to win and improve because they're just looking at
him as oh, he's a guy. That's because he's Prime.
He gonna track recruits, he's gonna be flashy, he's gonna
do this, but they not gonna win.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
So David Cobb is the guy who wrote the wrote
the piece ranking the coaches.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So oh, it's his ranking and it's not like the
other picks. It's his ranking. It looks like Yeah. So
he may not like Prime, he may have had some
runs run ins with him, and he just doesn't like him.
But there's gonna be some things that Prime may have
to handle better. As far as when you do these
press conferences and I'm not answering your question because of
(30:57):
what you wrote or what you said, and those that
act is gonna wear thin if you don't win. And
that's the thing. And so you can do all of that.
As long as you wining, they can say what they
want to say. We're winning games. And as soon as
you don't win, it's all. The culture at Colorado is terrible.
(31:17):
The culture, the locker room in the way, listen, man,
Colorado was awful when he took the job. The only
way to get better is to get rid of those
awful players. You got to get rid of those players.
And did he go about it the way that others
probably would have probably not.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
He went about it the way Prime would go about.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
That's that's his way. I'm trying to win games. That's Dion.
He's trying to win games. So he got to get
rid of the people that don't help him win games.
And if you don't like the way I'm getting rid
of them, so bid. And if they your kids, tell
them to get better.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
We are in a performance driven business. Straight.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
He's going to have to win football game from here
on out because, just like you said, the whole everything
of the Colorado the whole the culture, it's wearing thin
when you're two people and the fans and the media
when you're you're talking, but it's not resulting.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
It's not having the results.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Of uh, you know, being better or you know making
this uh you know Colorado football program better. But I
think they'll be better this year. I think they struggled
offensively from an offensive line standpoint. Uh, you know, Shador
came out. Ever since that they came out. They got
the big win against tc U last year. He got
off to a good start and didn't end up the
(32:42):
way that they thought it would be. But man, listen,
I've known I've known Prime since I came into the
league in two thousand. He's going He's going to speak
his mind no matter what. It doesn't care if you're
media or if you're just a regular person, civilian walking
around the street. He's going to be himself and he's
not going to get away from being he who he
is because if you know him, then you know.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Who you know who he is as a person. He
wears everything on his sleeve. You ain't even got to
wonder where he's at with you. It doesn't matter who
you are, and he's always been that way.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
But you know, when you now that he's the headquater
of this program, you're expected to conduct yourself in a
certain manner as a head coach.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Prime's not that guy. He's gonna continue to be.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
To Dean, I'm saying that I've known and every that
you know LeVar, he's not gonna change.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So if you don't like it, he doesn't care.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
But what it all comes down to is the end
is winning football games.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
He knows it.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
And everybody else knows it, and I think he'll get
a turn around this year.
Speaker 2 (33:46):

(36:35):
brand value represents. There's a process and a protocol connected
to those things. You guys are two guys that have
built your brands and have grown your brands and have
grown your communities UH and have created business from it.
You know you you know Ples you're doing what you're
doing with the smoothie shop that you have. You know, TJ,
(36:55):
you're doing what you're doing with UH with the Flag
Football League, and these things are growing. But there's also
understanding the process of building the value. I just got
tired of listening to all the begging. You know, it's
like if you're an alumni, if you're someone who has
an interest in a school, it seems like it's synonymous
(37:17):
with Now it's given everybody to greenlight to beg fans
and beg alumni for more money, when you know that's
already being done in other areas. Right So to me,
working with iHeartRadio, working with Fox Sports Radio, we created
an opportunity to actually not only.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
You know, look at nil in.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
A way where we're looking for solutions, but to actually
bring some substance to that by by giving them, you know,
giving these these student athletes the opportunity to build their
brands and then be represented or representing companies that are
actually advertising with iHeart with Fox Sports Radio. How you
(38:00):
guys feel about this, man Like, how you guys feel
about like building brands, college athletes getting like a more
opportunity to get.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Noticed that way. I mean, for you, LeVar, I know
you've been doing this a while now.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I will say what the last five six years you'll
been you've been working on trying to figure out the
way best that you could help players monetize their name,
image and likeness, and specifically players Penn State players because
you love your school so much.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
And so.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
The way college football is situated now and organized now,
if you have somebody like yourself that can help players
make this money, because it's too many times that you
see the guys that are making money, but it's too
many times where players are getting taken advantage of and
the business side of it isn't right. I just read
a story where it's a player of Florida State. His
(38:57):
agent started trying to find him in IL deals and
Florida State was like, you got to go, Like they're
trying to get him to transfer, and then that transfer
was getting him money and the school found out about
it and you gotta leave, and so they went about
it the wrong way. So somebody with you that's kind
of been through it, you're gonna do a great job
with it, for sure.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
Last word, bucks, Uh, you know what I have this
conversation with my son man, is you know, how do
we get here? We didn't get here, you know, chasing
and IL deals and money. We got here through the
product of hard work. And I just think that, you know,
for him to be able to I'm personally real quick
(39:38):
to make a decision.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
You know, I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna go to know.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
The dame and I'm not going to look at all
the other situations, even though it's money on the line.
I said, why not you turned down?
Speaker 2 (39:47):
You know whatever? Whatever, Well, you know what, we gotta
go next year, we gotta go.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
That's a big one. Hey, listen, it'spot Sports Radio up
on game. We'll check you out.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Peace
