Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome to your first post football season Sunday.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Don't worry, We're not gonna let you.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Down, as we are broadcasting live from me tirerec dot

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Mister former All Pro, former.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Eight year NFL vets on your first weekend without football
in a long long time?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Are you? Are you doing all right now? No?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
No, apparently really the other side of the glass is
not doing well.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
What about you?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
They're not doing well at all. I am doing a
okay But I'll tell you what just here in Monci's
read there and talking about John Carlos Stanton coming in
with both elbows having ton and night has just scared me.
It kind of woke me up. It got me into this.
I was like, how do you do that in the offseason?
So I'm a little bit but out out of that, No,
no football, I'm okay with We need a little break.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
I think Carrie as a sports fan has it's been
tough being a Mavericks fan in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Now you've got that with the Yankees college shoots.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
You're obviously a Louisville alum, also like Duke a little
bit as well, So those teams are taking care of you.
And I do have to bring up college basketball for
this notion. We could be I don't want to jinx anything,
but Carrie, we could be three minutes away from Doug

(01:37):
Gottlieb and the Green Bay Phoenix from snapping their twenty
one game losing streak twenty one they have lost twenty
one straight. Of course, not everyone may know, but I
work on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio
Monday through Friday. Doug has obviously been the topic of conversation,

(01:59):
and there's been a lot of negativity towards Doug this
season and the job that they aren't doing at Green
Bay because of his dual role. But we really, really
really want them to just get this w They are
zero to fifteen in Horizon League play and right now
they have a twelve point lead on Right State. They're

(02:21):
playing at home in green Bay and there's three sixteen remaining,
so we are gonna will keep you updated. Moncey will
provide us with any updates that could be going on.
Because of a COVID situation that has broken out in
our household. I am from our Tirec dot Com studios

(02:43):
in my house today. Wife is feeling better, but just
to keep everyone safe, Carrie and I are separate, so
we will be in We will be communicating that way,
but Moncey will have us covered if anything develops.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
And when this game goes final, we'll find out if.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's twenty two or if the Green Bay Phoenix are
actually on a winning streak.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
But twenty one straight games.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Wow, Yes, yeah, that's that's hard to do. That's hard
to do, Dan. But I was going to say, I
was gonna say that game's over. But when you lost
twenty one in the row, I'm gonna let that thing
play out. So I'm gonna not gonna jinx it. I'm
not gonna say it's the it's in the bag. I'm
gonna let that I'm not.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I am rooting really hard for Doug to get this.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
So am I, So am I and I but I
do want to just put into do you know what
date they got their last win would you take you
want to take a guess?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
I mean I would say they probably got their first
win obviously before a conference play. I'm sure they haven't
won a conference game.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Man.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, I're fifteen in conference. Just a date the days
and started November fourth.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, I would say November eighteenth.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
W am I it was November nineteen, November ninety.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
I was closed.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
If I said within forty eight hours, yes, you definitely.
But that is a very good job. You're either very
lucky or you understanding. You have a great understanding of
college basketball scheduling.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, it's one of the other. It's probably a combination
of both. But yes, when if they haven't won a
long if they've bost twenty one in a row, obviously
they've lost all their conference games, so that knocks out
two months at least. So I'm like, all right, it
has to be late November early December. So I went
with November. So just you know, I guess the odds
were my favorite with that part of it.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I also thought about this, and we have a great show.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Adam Kaplan, our NFL insider, will join us on this
first Sunday without football that we've had. Now the post
twenty twenty four season as we are in twenty five.
He joins us at six twenty. If you're able to
stay with us throughout the afternoon, we would love that
because coming up at seven twenty Eastern time, we have
a great story about a guy who used to walk

(04:52):
the hallways of Fox Sports Radio as an intern. He's
now doing his radio thing in Boston on WEEI. His
name's Tom Carroll and Tom has got an amazing story.
Aside from asking him on the Celtics repeat and what's
going to happen in the Mike Vrabel era, you'll want
to hear Tom's story on how he lost well over

(05:13):
one hundred pounds in a short period of time and
he did it by eating only Chick fil A.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I know it sounds crazy. Tom's a great guy.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
He's going to come and tell us his story and
how this all came about. And Tom's been pretty candid
about it and what he reveals in how he got
to this point I think is something that everybody should hear.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
So Tom's going to be joining us later on in
the show.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Plus we have recording to Manci coming up in about
thirty minutes or so. But let's get to the status
at hand, because last week, at this time, we're getting
ready for Super Bowl fifty nine, we're getting ready for
a matchup with the Eagles in Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I was in the Superdome last week.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
You and I didn't do our show because of because
of the game, and we change up scheduling and that.
So you had off last week. But a week ago
at this time, we were getting ready to take in
Super Bowl fifty nine. And what a difference three hours
makes when you see the dominating performance of the Philadelphia
Eagles and you see how dominant they are. My question

(06:15):
is now, because I'm sorry, if you were to ask
anybody who do you think is going to win Super
Bowl sixty, you should.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Probably say the Philadelphia Eagles. There would be no reason.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's only been a week since they just ran rough
shot over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl,
so there's really no reason to say otherwise. However, I
do think that there is a conversation on a recipe
of a repeat, and the Kansas City Chiefs were going
for a three peat. They had already accomplished the repeat.
All stuff that we all know well and good. But

(06:44):
I see the recipes of the Chiefs, and I see
the recipes of the Philadelphia Eagles carry completely different and
in my mind, I think that Philadelphia is actually more
capable of repeating than Kansas City was even when they
were able to do it, except for one spot, and
that is at quarterback. And I know it's crazy to

(07:07):
say after Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP, but
I think that's the whole real discussion in all of
this with the Philadelphia Eagles is for as great as
they are in as greate as season they had, and
how Jalen Hurts did perform and performed in the Super Bowl.
I know you'd like to give it to a defensive player,
but that's beside the point. Yeah, but do you think
the Kansas the Philadelphia Eagles are better equipped than the

(07:30):
Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Are to repeat it or were as Super Bowl champions?

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yes, And I would just say, just from the standpoint
of the personnel number one, right, the Eagles has the
best personnel in the NFL from top to bottom, right,
built strong up front on both sides of the ball
that's going to carry, that's going to translate forever. They
got a running game that's gonna translate forever and you
could see obviously the quarterback isn't or wasn't as high

(07:56):
on a totem pole throughout the regular season. Again, he
played out of his mind. He played really well and
was deserve it of the MVP. But their foundation is
set to repeat for sure. Now the recipe and you
not coming into the next season having complacency, that's another thing.
But as far as having the personnel and the stability

(08:18):
to do it, they do. But I will caution people
and letting them know that again they're going to have
a new offensive coordinator again, and that time to translate
into process and to start to get comfortable with all
that needs to be done with that new coordinator is
going to be a problem and an issue as well.
So I would say, yes, Philadelpia has a better chance

(08:40):
to repeat.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
So when you say complacency, yeah, I don't know it
from an athlete's point of view. Yeah, are you just
saying things are going bad? So you're saying, ah, no
big deal, I've already got a title. It's okay, I
can continue to do what I want. When you're talking
about just being complacent, is it off season work? Is
it living like what goes into that in not being

(09:06):
complacent if you are an athlete in that situation, because
I know there are some Philadelphia egos that I haven't
been kindly too, you know, talked about on our show,
thought that they were selfish, and that's where I think
it plays into account.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
But I don't know if that's true or not.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
When you talk about that complacency specifically with the athlete,
what are you talking about.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, complacency is right, It comes in and sneaks in
because when you are successful, things seem to be a
little bit easier than usual, right Like just even that game,
that game was an easy win. Right, so now they're
starting to smell themselves and starting to feel that, yeah,
we're just better than you. And so complacency sneaks up when,

(09:46):
like you said, off season workouts, just doing those two
extra reps in practice, being grimy, being dirty, having that
burning desire to win every play, win every snap, like
that thing becomes hard when you've already achieved and reached
that mountaintop. So that's what I would say as far
as the complacency part of it, right, like you've already

(10:08):
achieved that, you've won, you know what, it's about and
you know what it takes to get it done. Like, yes,
now we know what it takes to get it done.
And some people are built like Patrick Mahomes right where
I've won, but I want to do it again. A
lot of the makeup of the Eagles in their individual personnel.
I don't know if that would be their their makeup

(10:28):
going into the next season, you know what I mean.
So I think it also depends on the type of
people that you have in the building, right and the leaders.
Jalen Hurts sings like that guy, But again there's other
guys around him who are high level players that I
don't know would have that same burning desire.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I've understood the hangover, like I felt like I get it,
even though I not even come close to playing at
that level. I can understand the Super Bowl hangover of
doing everything you possibly could to win that championship all
the way to the basically a step away from the

(11:03):
finish line and not being able to finish it and
then having to go back to square one. That's demoralizing,
like you have nothing to show for it, like there's
an AFC championship or if you lose, if you're an
NFC team in NFC Championship. I understand that portion of
it when I look at it from the Eagles perspective.
I look at it in a way of knowing what

(11:25):
you did to get there to win. You know that
it's good enough, So then are you willing to actually
do the extra stuff?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Isn't if it isn't going your way?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
And that's where like, that's what I would have thought,
Like the you know, the definition is is Okay, we
did the same exact thing to say, you know, last
year to this year, but this year we're just not
getting the results. Are you willing to say, hey, I'm
ready to do something different or try to change things
up because I want another title, or are you just saying,
you know what I'm used to this way, I'm ready
to do I'm I'm I'm fine with it.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I've already got my title. That's how I viewed complacency.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
So I don't know if it matches with yours being
an actual former athlete and what the Eagles had to do.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, it's the other level of that. And you didn't,
we didn't. We haven't talked about it yet. Is this
all this offseason?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Right?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Those top guys and even the guys that may not
be top guys, they're gonna be getting endorsements, They're gonna
be told that they're the best at what they do
every day because they are their champs. They're gonna be
they're gonna get pumped with a lot of smoke. And
so when you get told that you're really great at something,
how hard do you have to work at it? Right?
So it's that, Yeah, it comes to the point of
who are the people individually and if they can, you know,

(12:34):
pseudo block out the noise, because you do want to
hear it. You do want to feel like you've achieved
something because you have, but also being able to block
out that noise and keep doing the work and keep
doing the little things that it takes to win, because,
as you know, and we've seen quite a bit of times,
talent alone doesn't win your championship, right, So you have
to continue to be hungry and find those little those

(12:57):
little levels of motivation throughout the year. When things do
get a little dull or a little bit redundant, you
know what I mean, it's.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
They you're right, they have everything there. Yes, they've got
all of the pieces there, and it's all right. Does
aj Brown want to do the redundant thing? Does DeVante
Smith want to do the redundant thing?

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Does like I.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Feel like Saquon Barklay and Jalen Hurts do. But the
funny thing about Jalen Hurts is I still think that
there is that question. And now you're bringing a different coordinator.
And we saw what happened last time on the last
coordinator switch, where the offense wasn't what Philadelphia wanted. It
wasn't a switch, it was Shane Stikeen went to the
Colts and they brought in Brian Johnson and Nick Sirianni,
and Johnson and Jalen Hurts just weren't all on the

(13:43):
same page. And maybe it's Sirianni on his page and
Hurts and Johnson on theirs. But whatever it was, Jalen
Hurts seemingly took a bit of a step back in
twenty twenty three, and this season even still had some
of his problems. And that's the funny thing about when
I think about the repeat, they are way more to
the points that you made ready to repeat than the

(14:04):
Kansas City Chiefs were. But for as good or bad
as Patrick Mahomes has been, overall, Yeah, and how you
thought that he's played Maybe as accurate as he isn't there,
Maybe the weapons aren't there. They still have him of
being able to be the eraser at the end, or
taking that lead and figuring out a way to hold
on to it and work the clock or to do
what they need to do.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I don't think that.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
There are very few quarterbacks with that capability of being
that eraser guy. So it's not meant to be personal
with Jalen Hurts, but Jalen Hurts is just not the
guy that Patrick Mahomes is. Even if Mahomes had an
off year, He's still Patrick Mahomes and could play within
what the Chiefs were trying to do, which allowed them
to repeat. Basically, what I'm saying is, I think the
only question is that if the Eagles will repeat is

(14:48):
if Jalen Hurts can continue to play at that level
or not, because everything else seems to be there.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Matsi, you said you had something on that topic.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
What was it?

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, I just it was funny that you guys are
talking about this because aj Brown fifteen minutes ago retweeted
and a reporter of the Eagles that tweeted, I'm ready
for training camp to start, and he retweeted it with
the face of Lebron going.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Brackett And it's like, are you talking about like this?
Like this guy doesn't want to get back in there,
and I'm pretty sure. On Instagram after the Super Bowl
he wrote something that he was not satisfied with the
Super Bowl. When that he's like, I know some people are,
but I'm not. And people are like, yeah, because you
only care about your stats. You did not have a
good super Bowl, so you you weren't satisfied, and so
you say that and I see this. To me, I'm like, hm, no,

(15:33):
it's a ncent, it's a hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you see like during the game
in the Super Bowl, they're winning, he didn't get the
ball one time into the play yep, and he almost
lost his mind at Syrianna. So you only have to
go at him on the field there at that in
that moment. So again, the egles are going to be
so inflated. Dan, I've been around yeah, right, I've seen success.

(15:56):
I've been around success myself, and I know what it
looks like when your ego is not being fed. And
so obviously that has changed with me and my career
and how I look at things because I've matured and
gotten older and all these things and realized it's not
always about you. But when you're in a highly competitive
sport like the NFL and you're trying to cement your

(16:17):
legacy and do all these things, a lot of times
legacy becomes the forefront over actually getting the job done.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
His line on his Instagram that I was like, I can't.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yeah, he wrote a lot, but this is the quote
I was talking about. I've never been a champion at
the highest level before. I thought my hard work would
be justified by winning it all.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
It wasn't. Literally wrote that up.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
That is, you know, let's starve in the more on
this because this is gosh, you got my blood boiling now, Manty,
I hear you.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean, like my goodness, like this guy.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I saw so many people congratulating him on the field
of the Super Bowl last week, and I kind of
said to myself, like, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I had
a bad read from a distance, and then it just
is you end up showing yourself and so I want
to dive more into it because maybe it isn't just
Jalen Hurts. Maybe my initial gut feeling was correct. He's

(17:14):
carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer. That's Mancy Belanios Monzi is
at the news desk, and she's busy because she also
has some breaking news here on Fox Sports.

Speaker 7 (17:24):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
All right, you guys, we can give it up to
Doug Gottlieb and the Green Bay Phoenix. Not twenty two
losses in a row. No, we're just gonna end it
at twenty one and start a winning streak. They just
be the right State Raiders seventy nine to.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Sixty wrong close.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
They handled business today.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Nice, good job, good job going away?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
All right, green Bay in the wind column for the
first time in twenty twenty twenty years.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Thought about to say twenty years.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
For Doug, it feels that I'm sure, I'm sure, But
I had the broadcast on and he was big smile
on his face.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
You can actually just see the relief just kind of
be not It's not just one. You don't want to
stop at one, but you had to get the first one.
Hopefully there's more to come for the Green Bay Phoenix.
All the haters can take the rest of Sunday off. Yes,
all of the keyboard Warriors can can take the Sunday off.
And there's nothing to type to Doug Gottlieb about as

(18:31):
his Phoenix are winners today still without Anthony Roy the
nation's leading score Ben Tweety at twenty seven points in
the win for the Phoenix.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Congrats to Doug. He is Carrie Rhodes. I'm Dan Byer.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
It is Fox Sports Sunday coming to you live from
the Tireraq dot com studios. We'll dive more into what
aj Brown said and is he far off in thinking
or is he just like every other athlete. We'll talk

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Fox Sports Sunday. He's the all Prokerry Roads. I'm Dan Beyer.
All Star festivities wrapping up tonight with the All Star
Tournament to the NBA in San Francisco. All Star Saturday
providing some excitement. There's some drama in the three point shootout.
Mac McClung stole the show in the dunk contest. And
now we get the new format coming up later tonight.

(19:30):
As we are live from leetirerec dot Com studios. The
NFL season is in our rearview mirror. But that's all
that I'm looking at right now, And thanks to Monzi
bringing up AJ Brown, It's all I want to talk
about now, right now, Carry Rhoads, this is just it.
Never it never stops with AJ Brown. It also never
stops with Monty Belangio. So let's go to the news desk.

(19:51):
She's gonna give us the latest and then we're gonna
dive into more on this Eagles possible repeat? Is AJ
Brown now already derailingly possible?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Latzi? What do you got?

Speaker 8 (20:01):
All right?

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Well, let's start with the big news of the day.
Green Bay Phoenix.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Doug Gottlieb's team has finally won since November nineteen seventy
nine to sixty eighth the final score against Wright State Raiders.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
So good job.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Doug Gottlieb and his team must be very excited with
a sigh of relief with this win. One game going
on right now in top twenty five ranked men's college
hoops number twenty five Maryland on top of Iowa twenty
four to twenty three halfway through the first half, and
you can catch all the action on FS one. Number
nine Saint John's just defeated number twenty four Creighton seventy

(20:37):
nine to seventy three, and Wichita State had an upset
over Number fourteen Memphis eighty four to seventy nine in overtime.
Number twenty Michigan State held on to defeat not Michigan State.
Number twenty Michigan held on to defeat Ohio State eighty
six to eighty three. Those are the men's college hoops games.
In women's college hoops, though, Number seven Yukon ended Number

(20:58):
four South number four Carolina's seventy one game home winning
streak eighty seven to.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Fifty eight, was I know, from beginning to end.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Yeah, the last time they lost at home South Carolina
December third, twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Soy, I know, yeah, Maazi, when you and I were
together on Friday as we're off the heels of the
USC UCLA game, and we kind of talked about how
it was.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Tough to see the games.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yes, I don't realize how people if people realize how
women's basketball is kind of trying to not take over Sunday,
but find their place because the majority of the men's
game is on Saturday. There are tons of men's college
games on Sunday. There are some, but not relatively even
close to what you get on Saturday. So it's a
perfect spot for the women's game. It is especially here

(21:45):
in the you know, in February. To take advantage in
today's game is a perfect example.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
And the game was nationally televised. This is early in
the morning, so you could have watched it.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
Yes, exactly, I'm with you, Dan at the Genesis Invitational.
So Scotti Scheffler is done. He ended nine under par
over all on this final round. He is two shots
back of the top of the leader board, which is
Maverick McKinley. He is through seventeen holes and Ludid Oberg
did I say that right, Bigberg?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yes, but it's McNeely, not McKinley. McNeely. That's all right,
I think.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
I said McNeely. I am making things up. I'm making it.
I literally have the name in front of you.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
The name change back to Mount McKinley.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
That's what it is, Maverick McNeely. There we go.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
He is eleven under par through seventeen lud big Oberg
through fifteen holes.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
So we'll see how thank you, We'll see how that
one ends.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
In baseball, Yankee slugger Gien Carlos stand uncertain for opening day,
which is March twenty seven, because of tendonitis in both elbows,
according to manager Aaron Boone.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
And yes, in the NFL.

Speaker 9 (22:48):
AJ Brown recently retweeting an Eagles reporter that was saying,
I want to get going with you know, training camp again,
and he retweeted it with a lebron facial brush in.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Like, what are you talking about? I don't want to
do that at all.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Yes, uh, like he was tripping. Continuing your conversation of
Super Bowl hangover players ready to put up another fight
or are they thinking they're just too good now?

Speaker 5 (23:17):
Yeah, back to you, guys.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Carrie pointed out the confrontation during the Super Bowl or
A J.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Brown not being happy. Yes, I told you guys.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
I was in the I was in the Dome and
on Sunday and I saw it was It was on
a on a play where A J. Brown basically ran
a flyer out down the down the field and Hurts
threw a back shoulder throw. So they weren't on the
same page, and Brown was physic he was You could
tell how mad he was. He was physically showing his

(23:46):
disgust by storming off. He was further down the field,
so you're separated from the rest of the offense, which
I think also allows him to have that window where
I could be mad nobody else is around me. But yeah,
people had to come over to him and tell him
to chill out. This is when they were winning. And
then when he scored the touchdown, everything seemed to be fine.
He got to do his Lebron dance. But man, like

(24:08):
I get him, like giving the Lebron shrug of like,
all right, my body needs to rest.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
I don't want to practice, right.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
But when Manzi brings up the Instagram post that he
had earlier this week, and now you piece it together
with this, and then you piece it together with everything
else self help book, I bring back the win over
the Giants that they had a few years ago. When
he sulked on the sidelines after winning, when he says
that the Super Bowl didn't fulfill him, I joked that

(24:37):
he wanted nine catches for one hundred and eighty yards
and two touchdowns and that would have been fulfilling, and
that no longer seems to be a joke. Carry it
seems to be the real deal because he's already he's
already moved off of the super Bowl, and adding all
of this now just seems to re justify my feelings
of what ag Brown has showed us who he is

(24:59):
as a receiver.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, that's what I was, and that's what I was
alluding to, right, Like you, the people in the room matter, right,
And so when you talk about being well equipped to repeat,
you got to know the people in that room, because
again we can look at them on paper and say, yes,
they are the most talented, like complete team top to bottom.
I don't, I don't. I don't want to say most
talented because there's a lot of talented teams, but the

(25:21):
most complete with talent on their roster in the NFL. Right,
And so that's all good, that's all fine and dandy,
but it to win. There are gonna be bumps in
the road. There are gonna be things that happen inside
the locker room maybe on the field that can easily
deter you from the mission. And they seem to have
those those landmines on their team. That can derail them.

(25:43):
And AJ is definitely one of those guys. He's a
little volatile, he's emotional, he wears his ego on the
sleeve more than his heart on the sleeve. And so
it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting. I mean, in
theory for them, I think they could move off of
AJ Brown and bring in another receiver and that locker

(26:05):
room would be in a much better place.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Now. A J.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Brown is super talented and he's one of one of
the best receivers in the league, but that doesn't solidify
them to be able to win and to repeat. And
so that's the thing when you're a general manager, head coach,
the temperament of the locker room, the way it mix in,
the mixes in the locker room. That's why it's a
big deal.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, it's you're you're so spot on. I don't remember
an A J. Brown game, right, Like we know of
a Jamar Chase game.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
We've seen those.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
We've seen the Justin Jefferson game before. And I don't
remember an AJ Brown game. And I could be wrong,
and I just I don't. And I think that that's
part of, you know, part of it with AJ Brown
and I'll even give him some slack carry in saying
when you're talking about Super Bowl titles, realistically, when we

(26:57):
talk about lore and who is won, we only talk
about quarterbacks. We don't sit there and say this running
back didn't win. We don't say this wide receiver did
this and didn't do that. We don't talk about those things.
We actually made it more with defensive guys than we
do actual skill position. You know, ray Lewis ended up,
you know, getting two rings, and Reggie White got his ring,

(27:18):
and so maybe we do it with like in that
way even more so than we do receivers or running backs.
So I don't want to completely pile on because it
is it is different. It's more of a life changer
and a game changer for Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
And we were just talking with golf.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Monty was given the scores from the Genesis I and
I've told this story even recently on the air at
Fox Sports Radio, where David Duvall took everything that he
had to get to number one in the world in
golf during the Tiger Woods era.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Now you think about how difficult that.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Was and Tiger was dominating, David duval was like I
am going to commit to it, and committed, became number one,
broke through and won the two thousand and one Open Championship,
the British Open, and when he was flying back home
with the trophy and really being the top of the world,
it's the most international, biggest golf tournament.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
You have the Open Championship.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
He's on top of the world, breaking through world number one,
as one as major and he said, is this it?
That's from an individual sport any never never had the
success after winning that point, there wasn't another major to
stack on. There wasn't another greatness, and his game fell off.
But he admitted, to you do all of this work

(28:35):
and then when you finally reach it, maybe it isn't fulfilling.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
But the problem that I have with aj Brown is
that he then now talks about him being him and
dominating his craft and doing what he needs to do.
And to me, that's not good news if you're Jalen Hurts,
because it's Aj Brown wanting to get the ball and
wanting to get the ball a lot, and that's the
only thing that's going to fuel him.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Man.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
The danger here with this situation is a lot of
times even when you have internal feelings of wanting the
ball more or wanting to be more successful. Right, you
sacrifice that a little bit, and you'll bite your tongue
a little bit more until you win that thing. He's
won that thing. Now, he's gonna want his numbers and

(29:20):
his stats now because of his legacy. And I'm telling
you that right now. There's no sugarcoating that at all.
We've seen it even when they do win. Right, So
now they've won, he's not worried about that anymore. That's
he has that in his back pocket. He already has
that on the mantle. That's complete. It's really about to
be about him now.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Gosh, I'll tell you they paid him.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
They gave him a new deal. Even when a.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Lot of this stuff was popping up and I questioned it,
I did not believe it was a smart move. And
now that you've got a super Bowl champion, you got
a ring, you got the Lombardi Trophy. I think all
the moves that Eagles made worth it. But maybe this
backside is now when you're paying the tax I wanted
to come in and have a Jalen Hurts conversation like

(30:08):
that's where I was when I'm looking at the Eagles
and looking at a week ago and where they are
and what needs.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
To go right and what needs to go wrong.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Like I'm sitting there looking at it and like saying,
hey man, it's going to be all on the shoulders
of Jalen Hurts. And whether you agreed or disagreed, I
was going to try to make my case for that.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
But then this brings up and carry you nailed it.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
There are a lot of factors that can pop in
even as units.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
When we talked about the.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Offensive line and defensive line, and now we have a
wide receiver room, and I'm almost kicking myself, Like I
was a mad at myself in the first segment because
I believed I saw all these people.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
I saw these people going up to Nick Sirianni after
he won on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah, and not that people would ignore him. He's the
head coach of the Super Bowl winning team. But the
handle thigs very gracefully, wasn't wasn't as pompous as I
thought that he could have been in celebration, And so
you're seeing him react up close and personal, and you're
getting a different sense. And so I had a bit
of a different look at the Philadelphia Eagles, and now
I feel like I've been bamboozled.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
No, so did I, So did I. Dan. You know,
I've been open about my kind of I don't want
to say disdain for Syrian, but you know, we've talked
about that. I think he did a hell of a job, man,
I really do handling that room, in those egos and
the people that are in that in that locker room,
and devising these game plans, and being aggressive at the
right time and not being hyper aggressive and sup in

(31:27):
moments like he has been in the past. Like the
way he handled things really amazing. And then you know,
we come back to this and you know AJ Brown
and we've had those discussions. But yeah, I wanted to
talk about Syrian and Hurts too, because I've been somebody
that was against Hurts being able to win it as well,
and so to come out and see the way they
both performed under the brightest of lights against the defending champs,

(31:49):
it was an amazing story.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
All I know is.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Ten months from now, if the Eagles are sitting there
at six and seven and you and I are doing
Red Zone radio, We're going to point to the time
when Monty came in and brought up the point of
what AJ Brown tweeted and added on to his Instagram post,
We're gonna be referencing that. I still reference him pouting
on the bench against the Giants already did once the

(32:13):
show and they've already had they've already been the two.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Super Bowls since that point.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, but I still reference because I think it tells
you everything you need to know. Have you ever seen
like if you ever had like I remember watching an
episode of Punk and I remember Zach Braf just came
off awful.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
In the episode.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, and I've never liked Zach Braf since because he
was getting punked and just the way that he acted,
and it's changed. And that's kind of like the same
way when I saw AJ Brown pout against the Giants.
No matter all of the greatness that has followed or
everything that's went after that, I always remember back to
that point because I think that's who that's who you are,

(32:49):
that's you're telling on who you are.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
And that's what I feel with AJ Brown.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Dan, Will there ever be a chance that AJ Brown
can have a redemption arc for you? Because I do
want to talk about a redemption arc later on I'll
I'll talk to you a little bit off Era, but
there's something I want to talk about around that. But
do you ever think that he could have a redemption
arc in your mind because you've been heavily against him.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
My magic keyball right now says not likely.

Speaker 2 (33:12):

Speaker 7 (33:54):
And now it's time for.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Absolutely according to my I love Iti, Hi, thank you.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Hi, oh man. Are you ready to go?

Speaker 5 (34:09):
I'm ready to go?

Speaker 1 (34:12):
All right? I heard my drop.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
According to Manti, it's time to make all NBA games accessible.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Yeah, I think Carrie's gonna agree with me on this one.

Speaker 10 (34:21):
So it's with streaming nowadays, I should be able to
watch any NBA game that I want to if it's
not nationally televised, if it's not in my region, and
you can charge me, charge me a dollar a dollar
ninety nine.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
I just don't know how the league has not done this.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
Where on February, like I don't know, like eleven or twelve,
right before the All Star break, all teams were playing,
all of them, only two were nationally televised, and the
one I wanted to watch. I was like, man, the
Hawk's Knicks game, I bet you that's gonna be good.
Goes to overtime, Trey Young goes off, Carl Anthony Towns
goes off. How do I not have the option to
go to NBA dot com and say, charge me a

(34:58):
dollar in ninety nine watch this game right now?

Speaker 5 (35:03):
How are we not doing that yet?

Speaker 6 (35:04):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (35:05):
And I'm not talking about the NBA League Pass because
I don't want to watch every game, but every now
and then there's a matchup I want to watch, and
I don't understand how it's not easy to do that.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
In today's day and age. Come on, NBA, charge me
a dollar.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
I'll give you my money, Manzi. Yeah, there is on
Amazon on Prime at Prime they have the if you
do the NBA League pass on there. Well, yes, I know,
but it's that's the easiest way.

Speaker 6 (35:28):
To do it.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
I know that, like in the end, maybe I end
up paying more, Well, then that's my fault.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
I'll shoot myself in the foot.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
But there are times where it's like I want to
watch this one game and I should be able to
watch it.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Charge me four ninety nine. I just don't get how
it's not a thing yet.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Well, make sure it's not the Clippers.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
It'll be blacked out in you watch the Clippers.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
I understand what Monty is saying is what I buy
Mountain do.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
When you get a twenty ounce bottle, it hits different
than if you get like an eight pack of bottle.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yes, you're to say what you're talking about, Yes, it's
not the same.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Not you got you gotta talk about doing the dow.
That's crazy, Mountain Dew. I haven't heard Mountain doing so
well in a long time. Mountains Dan's joky.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, not many people know about mellow yellow.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
My grandmother love mello yellow.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
They've got mellow yellow at the wingstop. You know whether
it's it's the all coke, different sort of.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Coke that cuts you off.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Man.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
But look, according to Mansi, if you're going to talk
the talk, then you need to walk the wall.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
Yes, okay.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
So I am tired of these NBA players saying, oh
Mac McClung, maybe I want to do the dunk contest.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
Okay, then do it.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
You keep tweeting that you're gonna do it, John Moran,
uh Gianna Santatkompo. Today, Zach Lavine responded to Ja Moran, saying, oh,
I think I have to do it again. If you
are gonna say that, then do it. Stop tying with
the fans. That is bs. You know you're not gonna
do it, and you've never done it, and you could
have been doing it this entire time.

Speaker 11 (36:59):
You know.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
I don't think we gave enough credit to Jaylen Brown
last year for putting his name out there with the
slam Dunk contest, because in reality, Mac mcclun is the
reason anyone is watching, and I'll be happy to be
eating my words a year from now, if John Moran
is in it, I will apologize you honest, but you're
not gonna do it. You just keep toying with the fans.
Don't be like Lebron who did this in two.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
Thousand and nine and said I'll be here next year.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
It's been fifteen years and your ass never showed up
and it's really disappointing.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Also, if they do show up next year, these stars.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Mac mcclun also better be there. He is invited every
single year whenever he wants to. And if not, wrap
this up because I'm done with it. I'm done with it.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Dan, what you got.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
I thought it was lame as well to see all
those stars, especially after Victor Webman, Yama and Chris Paul
you know, did their competition thing where they didn't even shoot.
They were just I don't even know what they wanted
to go through. I don't think they are actually trying
to win. I think they were just being party poopers.
And this on the heels of Lebron and Brony not

(37:56):
doing the competition and the step the thing being scrapped
because Kate Leclark, like all of it is just yeah,
you're absolutely you guys could have saved you. Guys could
have saved it. It was a bad show until mac
McClung took over. And that's okay.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Sometimes that happens, but yeah, I don't want to hear
it afterwards.

Speaker 5 (38:13):
Don't stop it.

Speaker 12 (38:14):
Yes, according to Monsey, According to Mansi, everything is better
in Espanol.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Right, these are.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Facts, man, Okay, music better in Spanish. You want to
sweet talk to me better in Spanish. TV shows better
in Spanish. If you've noticed on social media, Montoya is trending.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
If you're wondering what that is, what it is.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
So there is a show called in English, Temptation Island.

Speaker 5 (38:37):
I've watched it every year.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
It's these couples that are at a crossroads and they
were wondering if their love can.

Speaker 5 (38:42):
Really, you know, pass all tests.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
So they decide to separate themselves, live apart for a month,
with singles of the opposite sex trying to break them up.
Oh yes, so this has been going on, but they
have a Spanish version.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Is le.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Really good?

Speaker 5 (38:59):
Spanish is better well.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
People who don't understand Spanish are literally retweeting for because
they show you videos of what your partner is doing
at the other house and this guy is like losing
his mind running down the beach, and the host is
like mont and the Celtics a few days ago, tweeting
a highlight of Prichard.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
What's Richard Peyton.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
Prichard and literally they're tagged their.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Their tweets said, literally, it's like trending everywhere.

Speaker 5 (39:34):
Why because Spanish is better?

Speaker 3 (39:37):
That sounds, that sounds it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Go ahead, Dan, if you if you're watching your partner,
you know, you know what with someone else.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
The English version, the guys just sit there and they're like,
I can't believe she's doing this.

Speaker 5 (39:51):
It's so boring.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Montoya is like on his knees, like begging at the
screen like it is so.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Good, exactly like an R and B the artists, Oh
got it And by this MONSI means another guy. All
Star Weekend rolls on tonight and Carrie's movie review next,
and we now live in a world Carrie rhads where
the Green Bay Fighting Phoenix basketball team is on a
winning streak. Yes, do gottlieb off the schneid. Today, Phoenix

(40:19):
get a win, snapping the twenty one game skid, getting
win Numero Uno in Horizon League Play. That and so
much more to dive into here on Fox Sports Radios,
we are broadcasting live from the tierrex dot com studios.
Tirec dot com will help you get there, an unmetch selection,
fast free shipping, free road has a protection and over
ten thousand recommended installers tirerec dot com. The way tire

(40:42):
buying should be The overall theme kind of of This
show has been our first opportunity to really take in
a week without it being football season. Did the week
go faster or slow for you? Without football and things
carrying over? Is it a fast week? Did it fly by?

(41:03):
Did the absence of football have any effect on how fast.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Or slow the week went by? Carry roads?

Speaker 3 (41:08):
The absence of football does nothing for me, Dan, I
am so busy with other things, and so obviously, yes,
when it's here, it does consume because it is ever consuming,
and the storylines and all the stuff that's happening throughout
the season, they tend to carry a lot of weight.
And obviously with all the game plan being played on

(41:31):
all these odd days this season and the past couple
of seasons, it's kind of hard to be without it.
But man, I'm so busy, and I'm sure for you
I know I'm gonna throw the same question back at you,
but I would think you're really busy as well. So
I don't know if it consumed you, but I'm gonna
ask you too, what about you?

Speaker 2 (41:50):
It did go fast, and it went faster than I
thought it would. It's not that I'm realizing I'm living
in a world without football. I stayed in New Orleans
a little bit longer fly back until Tuesday morning, and
so you know, I was there the day after the
Super Bowl and did my work for Fox Sports Radio
at our New Orleans studios, which is like two blocks

(42:10):
away from.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
The super Dome. So I was that kind of split
up my week.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
But it did, Like I realized today, I'm like, wow, geez,
it was a week ago that the Super Bowl was
and things went pretty fast, and things go pretty fast,
and now the All Star Game is here, and we'll
dive into that a little bit more later on in
the show and what the NBA has done right and
really kind of what they've done wrong.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
But what.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Kind of struck me is there's still NFL stuff going on.
We're going to get a little bit of a lull
I think here in the next week before the combines
starts up. I know the Chiefs want to know about
Travis Kelcey's future, but there's another month to wait for that.
I felt the Eagles having their parade on Friday just
put the official stamp on the season, like now it's done, sealed,

(42:57):
put it in concrete, it's over with, put it in ink,
however you want to say it or write it. That
now we can start to look ahead to next season.
And that kind of got me thinking because I kind
of want to do a look back at the week
that was because it did fly by for me.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
I know, you saw a movie last night that you
want to dive into.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
One of the biggest things that I think happened this
week that we'll have a long we'll have ramifications much
more than people think, was the official hiring of Kellen
Moore as the New Orleans Saints head coach.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
And I don't think it got a lot of headlines.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Carrie for this reason is we knew he was going
to be the coach about three weeks ago, and it
was just a matter of time to when the Eagles
season was over that he was going to end up
being the head coach.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
So when they officially name him the head coach.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
When he's officially introduced, it feels like the story had
gone on and on.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
But the reason why I.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Feel that it is very important is I think that
there are dominoes that are being set up that people
don't realize. And I'm going to just quick give you
my theory on Kellen Moore. I thought I thought it
was a fine hire. I don't think that it's a
shock of the world, but I think it's a good
hire for the New Orleans Saints.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Would you agree with that? Are you not a Kellen
Moore fan?

Speaker 3 (44:19):
I think Kellen Moore is a great offensive coordinator and
assistant coach. Oh, I don't know. I mean, you know,
I don't think it's a bad higher at this point.
I mean, what other avenue were they what other direction
would they go for that position? He's a hot hot
o see, a guy that obviously has had a lot
of success running offenses. So if anything, they'll be interesting,

(44:40):
they'll be fun, And as far as the winning goes,
there are a little bit of ways from that. So yeah,
I mean, yes, putting up points and score there's nothing
wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Would you rather have Cliff Kingsbury as your head coach
if you were in New Orleans, No, I.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Would give Kellen Moore. I would give Kellen more the opportunity.
We've already seen Cliff Cliff kingsanery in that position. So yeah,
it makes sense from that perspective.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Because this is in all of that blends into what
I'm What I'm about to say is I think people
looked at it and said Cliff Kingsbury would rather be
an assistant in Washington than to deal with the Saints.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
And I think it's a fair point.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I also think that Cliff Kingsbury knows his value that
there's going to be other jobs available for him. And
to your point about what the Saints are in, they
are it's a salary cap nightmare for them.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
They likely have not hit rock bottom. And I think
that's okay.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
And the reason why I think it's okay, Carrie, and
I don't know if they're going to tank this year,
but that word is one.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
The NFL does not want to does not want to hear.
We don't.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
It's it would be difficult to tank and lose games
in the NFL if you're a player, right, There's really
no way to do it.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
If you're a player, yes. So if.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
If you're a front office, there are different ways to
do it. Could you sense if your front office is
trying to lose it all? Could you sense that?

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, you would sense it. I mean you'll see it
was start at the top, right, Like if there's a
quarterback situation and one guy is not playing the other
guys plan, you would know it that way or just
the way you substitute to put people in, you would know,
you would know, right.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
And I think with the New Orleans Saints, when you
look at what they're going through, they are gonna be
bottom of the NFL and they're gonna be more tearing
down that they need to do than actually building up
in twenty twenty five. And I don't think a lot
of coaches would want to go through that. Kellen Moore's
young enough, he gets an opportunity. He's an offensive coach.

(46:33):
But what it also sets up is this and something
that I think is really important. The Saints are probably
gonna be one of the worst teams in the NFL
next season, and we don't even know who's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
On that team.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
We could sit there and say they're gonna play with
a lot of heart. We can say that Kellen Moore's
a genius, but by and large, there's a really good
chance that the Saints are gonna probably pick in the
top five next year, and then that means that they
would maybe have a one in five chance at getting
the four overall pick.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
And when you think of the NFL in.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Twenty twenty six, not twenty twenty five with shad Or
Sanders and cam Warden the draft, but twenty twenty six,
if the Saints end up being number one in that
draft or having the first overall pick and Arch Manning
is a decision to make at Texas when you talk
about full circle Kerry and now you have an offensive

(47:24):
coaching Kellen Moore being there. Not that they would sign
it off with the Manning family or Archie Manning, but
you want to talk about a franchise that is starring
for some sort of relevancy after Drew Brees retired, that
is it.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
And so I look at the Saints as a team
of Okay, it may not.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Be now, but if you're Arch Manning and we've seen
the Manning family with Eli, decide I don't want to
go to the Chargers, I want to go to the Giants.
If it's set up bad enough, and the Saints are
as bad of a team as we think they're probably
going to be in twenty twenty five. It's almost the
opposite effect, where if the Saints are the worst team

(48:02):
in the league, Arch Manning then can go to the
NFL and almost complete this full circle thing and play
for the team that his grandpa played for.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
And I think that's their hope.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
And whether you like Kellen Moore or not, there's that
possibility if you're the Saints and trying to become the
new New Orleans Saints. I think they're gonna be a
bad team this year, but you will have an offensive
coach who will have a year under his belt. You'll
be then on the rebound. You get out of this
year and you start next year. Kind of like the
Arizona Cardinals. I felt when maniasa Fort took over that

(48:37):
team and Jonathan Gannon came in, we knew they weren't
going to be good. They kind of bounced back after
Kyler Murray had his knee injury, and now they're a
team that is a headache to deal with, and maybe
they're going to be a playoff team next year. I
see the same sort of thing with the Saints, but
I think you could open the door for if they
get the first overall pick. Arch Manning then decides, you
know what, I will leave Texas and I'll go to

(48:59):
the NFL Draft and try to rekindle that magic that
his grampa once provided for the Saints, even though they
lost a lot of games when Archie Matting was there.
I think it would be a full circle moment for
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
All right, Dan, I'm gonna tell you right now, just
coin that right now. Put that like that whole soliloquy.
Put wrap that up, put it in like a in
a plastic bag, and save it. We're gonna go and
write this script. Okay, once I get off, we'll write
the script. It'll be like a Disney movie and and
it'll be amazing. I think that's what it is. But
I mean I to be real though. Yes, I see

(49:31):
the same thing you're saying there, and it makes sense.
And I think for for the Saints, they've been patient
enough in the past. Obviously they weren't really good for
a long time, and then they had, you know, moments
of relevancy, and then obviously when the Drew Brees era came,
they won a lot of games. They actually they actually
got their Super Bowl, and I think now they've fallen

(49:52):
off that cliff and now it's time to come back
up and build again. And so it's gonna start with Yes,
the formulist set right. It's you had an offensive that
was there on Sean Payton that you know was able
to come in and kind of get his quarterback, bring
in Drew Brees, and that team took off. You have
an offensive coordinator here with Kellen Moore that has the
same chance and a funny way of kind of history

(50:13):
repeating itself in that form as well. Offensive coordinator come
in being able to get the guy that he wants.
Obviously Ars Manning will be at the top of that list,
and you roll from there. But yeah, no, Dan, I
want to write the movie. Let's do that after we
get done.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, let's let's start to put pen in the paper
on that. I think it's I think it sets up.
And plus we've seen a situation where again the Manning
family has forced the trade. Yes, and we don't know
if Arch is going to be ready or not for
the NFL, but if you have an opportunity to go
to New Orleans. There'd be a no brainer. They would

(50:47):
pick him number one. Just it's a no brainer. It's
done deal. Yeah, so the decision is almost made for you.
Or if the Saints are bad enough, if they're not
the worst team in the league at least, then they
have an opportunity to maybe trade or the Manning family
can do Eli Part two and try to force some
things to happen to allow whatever team they trade with

(51:08):
to make a deal work.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Now you know what, I just thought about it. No,
I don't want to do it. I don't want to
write it. I'm thinking about The blind Side and all
the legal stuff that happened with.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
It.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Never adopted me.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Yeah, and that's it'll be time too with the man
In family. So yeah, let's let's just yea, let's probably
step away from that one. Let's table it.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Speaking of movies, your week included a Captain America viewing.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Yes, yeah, yeah, I saw Captain America and uh man,
Marvel is in a bad way.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Man.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
They they've they've lost all those contracts with all their
main people, the main stars that we know about and
we're used to seeing on the screen, and they're trying
to fill it with with with people, I mean, obviously
talented people, but it just doesn't look the same and
you can tell the money isn't the same of what
they spent on those projects. So it's it's a tough watch.
But Mike, you know, watching Anthony Mackie play Captain America

(51:57):
was kind of cool because you know, he's a a
somebody I know, and so just to see that it
was fun. But yeah, the overall movie, man, it's it's
a little bit of a little bit of a letdown.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
I am so not a movie person, so I almost
feel like it's lost on me.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
I don't know if Shay is into it or say, yeah, say.

Speaker 12 (52:14):
Shaking all right, yeah, okay, no, he is right, he's
definitely it's you know what it is. It didn't feel
like a Captain American movie at all, and it's just
he's not Captain America. It's like, I when the first
Captain America came out when I was I think Ironman
came out when I was twelve. Captain America came out
two years so I was fourteen, So think about that.
I'm twenty five now, ten years of my life, Captain

(52:37):
America was one person and I get you, like Captain
America's a big name. It makes sense, like Captain America
passed away and like the last one or whatever, so
they need a new one. But it's like, you don't
need a new one, like it just it didn't make
I don't they're just trying to hold on to things.
And like even with Black Panther, I felt like this too,
it's like they're trying to hold on to things that
just won't work anymore. And I get it. There's a

(52:57):
fan base for it, and they already have the brand,
but it's like it's just weird. It just doesn't make sense.
It's super off brand too. It just doesn't feel like
a Marvel movie. I don't know, it felt weird. I
didn't like it. PC's been doing great, so it was
like a regular like spionage movie, right, I'm a big
movie guy.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Yeah, I'm a big movie guy.

Speaker 12 (53:14):
I wanted to get in a film before I got
on broadcast actually, but no, it's hey, I don't know, but.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
What I'm reading is is Captain America box office box
office bullish over Captain America.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
I don't people are people are going to see it?

Speaker 12 (53:29):
This was basically the last like the last good one.
To come out was Endgame obviously, right, Yeah, this was
supposed to be the one that had that feeling of Endgame,
you know what I mean, Dudes from Endgame, like it's there.
They're not making new stories or anything like. This was
supposed to have that feeling. You're supposed to feel that
nostalogia kind of you felt with like the first Star
Wars or something like that. But this was like not

(53:50):
even it didn't even feel like a prequel. It just
felt like something completely different that wasn't even good. And
it's like the only good part was maybe seeing some
of the Captain America stuff or like the throwbacks, but
other than that, it was just not good.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
Well, I will say this as I looked on the
Hollywood Reporter, which gave me the number that I told
you have one hundred million dollars. Yeah, the line underneath
it did say the Superhero pick launched a head of
expectations despite receiving a B minus cinema score, the worst
grade bestowed on any title in the Marvel Cinematic universe.
That from the Hollywood Reporter. I'll take your guy's word

(54:23):
for it. In theirs as well, Oh.

Speaker 12 (54:25):
What's the brutalist that was good. That was a good movie.
If you want to watch a.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Movie, it is Fox Sports Sunday. He's Carrie Rhodes. I'm
Dan Byer. Glad to have you with us. Find Carrie
at Carrie twenty five Roads. You can find me at
dan Byer on Fox. You can also find me on
Blue Sky as well at dan Byer. Sandra, longtime listener
of the show, tweets in in a follow up to
the point that I made about the Saints in tanking.
She said a turkery years to figure out Bill Pollian

(54:49):
was tanking to get Peyton Manning. So excuse me to
get Andrew Luck because it was the year that Peyton
Manning was injured. They would, you know, run out all
those awful quarterbacks and yeah, time and time again.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
What about what if you're one of those awful quarterbacks?

Speaker 1 (55:05):
I got to go out and see this again?

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Yeah yeah, yeah, thanks with those thanks uh man, But
they hate the Colts. It worked out. They did make
the right decision. I know, like in hindsight you look
back on it and say, ah, man, what we should
have done, or we could have done this, or you
could have done that. But in hindsight it was the
right decision at the time, but yeah, things just don't

(55:30):
work out.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Damn. What kind of guy would you be as a GM?
Would you be a guy that would want to win
every year at all costs or would you well, would
you I don't want to say the word tank, but
would you sacrifice a season to get the guy you
want and just neglect all the other guys and other
pieces that you have there in that organization at the moment.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
I have said this, and I don't know if this
answers your question. I would draft only linemen. I would
offensive and defensive linemen. That's I think that I would
start out early. That's what I would build from the
inside out, which this was a theme when we were
talking about the Eagles and their success in building out,
and then if you have the opportunity, like if you're
there enough to grab a guy or someone drops, that's

(56:10):
when you take the opportunity. But I would just draft linemen,
and I wouldn't reach for anyone. So to your point,
probably not. I probably wouldn't wait because that would mean
that I would be valuing someone so much that I
would have blinders on for everyone else.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
So I don't think that I would be I would
be able to He is carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer.
It is Foxsports Sunday. Coming up next, we'll continue to
talk to the National Football League. The Chiefs are a
winning decision with Travis Kelce. Have they planned for life
without their star tight end? Last our NFL Incenter next
year on Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday. I'm Dan Byer.

(56:47):
He's carry Rhodes our NFL in Center. Adam Kaplan joins
us live from the Tirak dot com studios. Of course,
you can hear Adam on the inside the Birds podcast.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Pro Football Network is where you can read them.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
And the Philadelphia Eagles go out in style, celebrating their
Super Bowl win with the paride and rally on Friday.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Well, we want to know, Adam now that A. J.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
Brown is saying that he's unfulfilled and the he was
over the Super Bowl win in two days? Is this
the start of problems for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 13 (57:17):
I know it seem so funny. It was actually kind
of fun I know what he meant. Look, there's a
certain way you want to feel when you know you
don't know how it's going to feel you. He'd never
won a Super Bowl before, and he went through it.
He loved the parade, by the way, he was terrific
during the parade in his little speech. And now it's
on a bigger and better It's kind of like this
new norm that Doug Peterson ironically talked about after the

(57:38):
seventeen Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
It never happened.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
This team.

Speaker 13 (57:41):
Is the difference between that team and this team is
it's much younger, which is the way to go. They
all of a sudden, It's funny, guys, they went from
one of them being the oldest defenses from last year
when they choked losing six out of seven, to one
of the youngest. So it's it's really set up. Howie
Rosemrom the general manager, was much for a lot of
his career. He's just turning around here. He's now arguably

(58:03):
the NFL's best general manager.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
Adam, You've been around those guys a lot, and so
we were talking about repeating, right, and so obviously rosterives.
They have the roster to do it, but you also
have to look at the inner workings of that team
and at roster when you have people like an AJ Brown,
which I think is a fantastic player, but He's very temperamental, right,
and so you know, you've been around long enough to
know that a lot of there are certain guys that

(58:26):
you win one. Player A, he wins one and he
has the hunger to do it again. And you also
have player B who's won one. Now it's time for
him to eat and get what he wants to get done.
So is AJ that guy which we think he is
and will be a cancer for those guys.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Not at all.

Speaker 6 (58:43):
No, carry they love him.

Speaker 13 (58:45):
In fact, I talked to a friend of mine who's
high on the Titans coaching staff, Paul when AG started
his career, and he's a real connector.

Speaker 6 (58:54):
He could get emotional. You Jake Gleisher talked about it.

Speaker 13 (58:57):
If you look at Jay's Instagram, he has a very
interesting post about AJ. So I guess they've got to
know each other through mental health and everything. So he
could be emotional. But let me just tell you he's
he's a real good connector. You know about the book. Yeah,
that's crazy that I've never seen that before.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
But yeah, I just don't buy at him.

Speaker 6 (59:15):
I'm sorry, weird, it's a little weird, I know, But.

Speaker 13 (59:19):
There are certain players I think you get away with
in fact, I know he gets away with it because
I mean Nick Sirianna goes over to him, he was hey,
he said something. I can't remember exactly what I was told.
He said something like, hey, man, if you if this
continues to work, something like maybe I need to read
it during the game or something like that. He was
just kind of joking, but no, he Look, they carry

(59:40):
Another thing about this team is I would tell you,
you know, from looking at thirty two teams in locker
rooms and stuff, I thought last year they were really.

Speaker 6 (59:48):
Selfish, like how do you lose six out of seven?

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Right?

Speaker 13 (59:50):
Sirianni and Jalen Hurts had their problems. There are, but
there are a bunch of players going for sacks on defense.
You had both coordinators remove won in the season, went
after the season. Chemistry was bad, and how he remade
it in one season. It's hard to do that. So
you know, I know where you're going here. How they're
going to handle success. Yes, aj Brown already got his

(01:00:11):
contract extensions. You don't have to worry about that. He's
set for life. He just got it within a year,
so he's good to go. And they've they've been so aggressive.
One of the other parts of the secret sauce of
why the Eagle has been so good for so long
mostly not always obviously twenty twenty season terrible.

Speaker 6 (01:00:26):
But why they have sustainable success.

Speaker 13 (01:00:30):
As Joe Bannen, the former president, brought this in when
he and Jeffrey Lorie came into nineteen ninety four, they
try to sign players making smart bats curry right when
they know they're going to be good when they're allowed
to after Now that the rule when they bought it
was you have to wait after two years. Now it's
after three years for a drafted player, and that's what
they do. So Cam Jurgens, who took over for Jason Kelce,

(01:00:52):
I'm sure that he just played his fourth his third season.
I'm sure they're gonna they're going to address his contract.
You make some more bets. You have to get it right.
The guy's gotta be good. They're going to go in early.
They try to get these deals done. The Hurts deal,
by the way, now he's won a Super Bowl. It's
probably a little bit undervalued, but this is what happens
when you sign early.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
I also think Adam Kaplan, by the way, joining us
here on Fox Sports Sunday NFL un Center. He's carry roads.
I'm Dan Beyer. When you hit on Cooper Degene, when
you hit on Quinnon Mitchell. And the other thing is
is there weren't a lot of teams that were willing
to take Jalen Carter. The Eagles were one of those teams,
but they were also willing to do it because of
the deal that Howie Roseman made to allow them to

(01:01:33):
get that pick. And that's where I think that I mean,
is it? I mean for their draft hits? Is that
really like the biggest turnaround from the team from two
years ago because it just seems like jackpot, jackpot, jackpot
with these guys.

Speaker 13 (01:01:48):
Yeah, I mean, Dan, if you go back to how
he's if you really look at it, right, it started
in twenty twenty one with the drafting of DeVante Smith,
okay and Landon Dicker. You know both have got contract
with Stature. Now here's the thing. Most people don't even know.
Howie had had ignored, believe this or not, the Georgia

(01:02:09):
program and Alabama program for decades. So the Legles historically
just they avoided those schools. I don't know why now
that all they do is go there. They've interviewed coaches there.
You mentioned Jalen Carter between both team Alabama and Georgia.

Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
I think they have at least now eight players on
the roster.

Speaker 13 (01:02:25):
I don't know why they ignored it, but that's another
thing that they've done, and you really look at it
and why they have sustainable success and why they just
won the Super Bowl. Go back to the twenty one
draft that it started then and han't He hasn't really
missed on anything since then.

Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
It's hard to do.

Speaker 13 (01:02:42):
It's hard to do because before that, I'll be honest
with you, how he's not a very good drafter. He
was just great at free agency. Now he's great at
the draft and great at free agency. Oh, by the way,
signing players early, signing the right for agents, Makai Beckton,
no one ever thought of.

Speaker 6 (01:02:54):
Playing mccacart, Jeff Stallin, by the way.

Speaker 13 (01:02:56):
Jeff Stallon the best offensive line coach of the National
Football League, Fan Andrew one of the top three defensive coordinators. Guys,
it's it's kind of hard to knock this team. It's
they don't really have a weakness. And you mentioned Jalen
cart Before we move on to other business, I talked
to every team in that top ten. I cannot get
anyone other than the Eagles to pass him on the
character evaluation. Wow, that's amazing. But now the Eagles did

(01:03:19):
a psychological profile on him. They thought they had this
under control, and so far, so good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
Well, think about all those names you just name. You
didn't even name Zach Bond, which is I know, it's.

Speaker 13 (01:03:30):
The most ridiculous story of all time. Do you realize
he never played linebacker in his life? He was an
edge rusher, Like, how does it become the best? Greg
O Sell who works? Oh, I know Greg very well?
Who you know we were for NFL films. Greg told
me now this is he doesn't grade like you know
pro football focus. Just his eyes tell him. Through coaching tape,
he said, the two best off the ball linebackers this

(01:03:53):
season were a Zach Bond number one at Fred Warner
number two. If he had to grade them, Wow, have
Zach ball over Fred warn Are you serious?

Speaker 6 (01:04:03):
I mean, come on, how does this happen?

Speaker 13 (01:04:05):
By the way, Howie doesn't get credit for that although
we signed him. Vic Fancho said he saw something off
tape that he thought maybe they would try him an
inside backer and the rest is history.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
Yeah. Mc fangio did a great job, But I mean again,
it all starts off front and what he had there
and being able to play the defense that he played
and only rush for and get after Patrick Mahomes the
way he did. I mean, it's just it was crazy
watching that game. But let's talk about that game in general, Adam,
So obviously, I think it blew everybody's mind that the

(01:04:36):
Eagles dominated the Chief the way they did. But how
were they able with that front four to just wreck
Kansas City's whole game plan? And was it just because
of that front four or was it game plan specific?
What do you think? All right?

Speaker 13 (01:04:50):
So, I first of all, they clearly knew that can't
see the problems at left tackle, left guard. They're playing
playing Mike not Frank Kelliendo at left guard. He should
not be playing. That was a mistake.

Speaker 6 (01:05:00):
And they went through four left tackles.

Speaker 13 (01:05:02):
The last one what was the left was left guard
Joe Toney, who got pushed back repeatedly.

Speaker 6 (01:05:09):
He just struggled mightily.

Speaker 13 (01:05:11):
It was in fact, what I don't understand is why
did they they're down twenty four to nothing at halftime,
why not put GJ. Humphries in what is the harm?
You have nothing to lose at that point, and moved
tuning back to left left guard, where is more comfortable.
That was another thing. You know, Andy has done this
for for a lot of his career.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Now.

Speaker 13 (01:05:31):
They tried seth the man protection to start the game.
The Eagles defeated to carry with four man pressure. They
never blitzed, they just couldn't block. It was crazy. And
Josh Wett at the best game as an Eagle, two
and a half sacks, who changed agents and everything that
thing about the Eagles is in that game. Everything they
did worked. Nolan Smith, by the way, who did not

(01:05:53):
have a good training camp or preseason and got off
to the slow start, he had a great game miskin.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
But one work before we move on.

Speaker 13 (01:05:59):
Jayoxumber fifty eight, who is a safety at Cornell, had
a four inch growth spurt when he's nineteen years old.
He's now six foot four and this kid's got a chance, man,
He's got a real chance. He's got arms almost as
long as the left tackle. He's another guy that how
he got right, It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Adam Kapla joining us here at Fox Sports Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
The Chiefs reportedly want to know about Travis Kelcey and
in his decision March fourteenth.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
Have have they planned for life after Travis Kelcey in
Kansas City.

Speaker 13 (01:06:28):
Yeah, he's actually I'm looking at his contract. He's got
a roster bonus due. It's actually do.

Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
March seventeenth.

Speaker 13 (01:06:36):
Okay, March seventeenth, So they're gonna want to know obviously
before the start of free agency on March tenth, and
then the contracts can be signed in March twelfth on
that Wednesday. So well, Noah Grays that kid that they're making,
he's making six million.

Speaker 6 (01:06:47):
A year out of Duke. He's a really good athlete.

Speaker 13 (01:06:50):
Jared Wiley is the wye tight end out of Texas
Tech who's an inline ten end.

Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
Unfortunately, I'm toltally. He suffered a toward.

Speaker 13 (01:06:56):
ACL in a Friday practice, so he may not be
right for the start of the season.

Speaker 6 (01:07:01):
So no, they have they're going to have to address it.

Speaker 13 (01:07:02):
They have to add another tight end, but I would
tell you this, they have to get a left tackle.

Speaker 6 (01:07:07):
They need corners.

Speaker 13 (01:07:08):
They have one solid corner in Trett McDuffie, who moved
to the late this season. He moved to the outside
played well. But aj Brown didn't have a problem. They're
gonna have to look at the cornerback position as well,
opposite him Adam.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
But I guess before you get out of here, but
the do you think the Eagles will repeat? Will they
be your favorite to repeat? In his next sing?

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Ye you got it to see. Here's the thing.

Speaker 13 (01:07:29):
They've got three three free key agents here. Okay, They've
got Milton Willams, who we didn't talk about him.

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
He might be the best defensive player.

Speaker 13 (01:07:37):
He's not as talent as Jaden Carter, He's most he's
the most consistent. When you look at their other couple
free agenc here, Josh Swtt, who I mention who is
a really unerrated player now he took a major pay
cut after last season because he didn't play well.

Speaker 6 (01:07:52):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:07:52):
And then the other one is the aforementioned Zach Bond.
He's the one I think will want to resigning for sure.
Then the other two is going to be tough, and
they got they've got some roster maneuvering to do here.
So they've got some challenges here. This is what happens
when you win Super Bowl. They got to make a
decisions on Darius Slaye's contract. Darius slay on the Fine
Avers deal a lot. He's got to make an over

(01:08:15):
seventeen million in total cash, so they've got to take
a look at that. So they've got some tough decisions.
This is what this is what happens when you win
a Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
You may have missed it earlier, Adam, but I'll have
to do it a different time. My arch manning to
the Saints theory. That's I laid on Carrie earlier. They
need a quarterback.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
I think the job is in.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
That's why Kellen Moore's their Guy's going to take the
hits this year and then come out the other end
of arch Manning.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
Adam, We appreciate it. We'll talk to next week.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Sounds good times, Adam kapl Our Fox Sports Radio NFL

first of three games is gonna tip off at eight
twenty Eastern times, so it's Chuck's Global Stars are gonna
take on Kenny's Young Stars first.

Speaker 5 (01:09:38):
And yes, aj Brown likes to read on the sideline.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
Apparently Victor one Banyama likes to read before a game.
There is a video by Bleacher Report that's been tweeted
out and Nikola Jokic is looking at him and he's.

Speaker 5 (01:09:49):
Like, did you really bring a book? And Victor one
Banyama's like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
I read before every game, and Nicol Yoki is just like,
what like starts just nodding his head and looking down.

Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
That's just he can't believe it. But throw one by
yam Alex to read before the game. So there is that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:03):
Oh, yeah, we have to mention Doug Gottlieb's team, Doug
Green Bay Phoenix SAPTI is twenty one game losing streak. Yeah,
they won over Wright State seventy nine to sixty eight.

Speaker 5 (01:10:11):
Ludwig Oberg won.

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
The Genesis Invitational at twelve under part overall, sinking a
birdie at the eighteenth hole to take the win. Maverick
McNeely took second place, Scotti Scheffler and did three shots
back in third place. And in baseball, Yankee slugger John
Carlos Stanton may not be ready for opening Day, which
is March twenty seventh, because of tendonitis in both elbows.

Speaker 5 (01:10:32):
According to manager Aaron.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
Boone, manzi, I'm still sick in my head. What how
do you get the nights in both meet?

Speaker 5 (01:10:38):
I don't say yea curls.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Curls say that's what it is to many curls.

Speaker 4 (01:10:43):
The report that Aaron Boon is saying is that he
actually like felt it during the postseason, and so they're
kind of like approaching with caution and they're not going
to rush him back.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Yeah, if you felt it in the postseason, don't you
heal that off seasons.

Speaker 5 (01:10:56):
Yeah, yeah, no, it seems you're right. When you're right,
you're right. I don't know, I don't know if that Moncy.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Okay, you're one of the three lifelines as we play
easy as one, two, three, four right now on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
Let's get it going.

Speaker 2 (01:11:09):
Carry Rhodes is in the hot seat, Manzi one of
his lifelines, Shay and Mary Mac the others is. Carrie
looks for a perfect score of ten. We're a little
tight on time, so we're going to get right to it. Carrie,
let's do it. I give you a topic. You have
to give me some of the answers. You don't have
to give me all of them. But a perfect score
of ten is or a score of ten is a
perfect score? Are you ready to play?

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
Of course, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
Football, basketball, hockey. Your topics of conversation today. Name one
of two Carrie coaches who earned the right to coach in.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
The NBA All Star Game.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
So I'm not talking about Chuck, I'm not talking about Kenny.
I'm not talking about Candice Parker Jack, one of the
two coaches elected to coach in this All Star Game.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
I'm gonna go to Monzy on this one, all right,
So I don't know, but I'm taking a guess here, Okay, coach,
it's usually the coaches that are in first place.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
Oh so they're still doing that har usually.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
Right, And so I'm gonna and for some reason I
am comfortable saying the okay.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
But that one, that one and who else? And so
the one that we'll do that, we'll go there.

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
Show me Mark Dagno, Yes, there it is o Glaoma
City Thunder.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
Kennyet gets into the Cavaliers. Coach.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
Okay, yep, man, you had it correct, But I.

Speaker 1 (01:12:31):
Think one for one. Let's see if we can go
three for three.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Here is I need two of three teams that the
Eagles lost to this season. This does not count preseason,
just regular season only. They had three losses obviously no
losses in the postseason. Named two of the three teams
the Eagles lost to this season.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
They lost too early too? Wow shaye ho'p in here?

Speaker 12 (01:12:59):
Man, all right, this one because they had two losses
early losses early and they this one was kind of
later and it was a crazy game because it was
the former a s U quarterback Jade and Daniels and
the Commanders. Okay, and that's that's that. That was the
first game where I was like, oh, they actually have
a chance here.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
Okay, So, yes, Commanders that I'm.

Speaker 12 (01:13:19):
Pretty sure it's the Commanders is one of them?

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
It is? Yes, Commanders is one and one more one more.

Speaker 12 (01:13:25):
So it was the first three weeks, yes, view and
they were away where they because they were on a
trip I think.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
In London or something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:13:37):
In Brazil?

Speaker 12 (01:13:37):
Sorry, in Brazil? No, yeah, I remember who did they know?
Because it was supposed to be the Browns.

Speaker 5 (01:13:43):
The Packers won in Brazil, didn't they? So it wasn't
that one. Didn't the Packers beat them in Brazil?

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
That's what I'm thinking. Beat the Packers, right, Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
That's why the Eagles I apologize. That's exactly that.

Speaker 12 (01:13:53):
I then, yeah, I'm not going to get this.

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
Why why do I have Aaker Mayfield in my head?

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
Because I think you're right?

Speaker 5 (01:14:02):
Early like week three, I take that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
I'll take that money.

Speaker 12 (01:14:06):
Kevin went off, Yeah, now you're right, you're right, you're right.
So we go tap Commanders. Then we're kind of messing
up here. I mean, you helping out, but we'll take it.
I'm here now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
Show me the Washington Commanders. There it is Week sixteen,
thirty six to thirty three. Show me the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Oh, there it is week four.

Speaker 2 (01:14:27):
September twenty ninth, drive before their bye week. Buccaneers win
thirty three to sixteen. And you guys were on the scent.
But it was the Monday night game against the Falcons
in week two after that week one win where Kirk
Cousins and crew member Cousins had the late drive goes
down and scores.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Falcons won twenty two to twenty one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Yeah, you had like forty right or something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:14:47):
I was cool. Yeah, he had a big game.

Speaker 12 (01:14:49):
That Commander's game was crazy though. That Commanders game was wild.

Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
The Kirk cousinstuonder in forty one yards two touchdowns in
that touchdown pass to Drake London, which I think won
a fantasy game of mind.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
So that's why it's still in my head.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Carry roads, you are three or three, but we're gonna
take a time out. We're gonna finish easy as one, two,
three four. On the other end, as we are live
from the tirec dot Com studios, he is Carry Roads.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
I'm Dan Byer. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
Fox Sports Sunday, Bums, Gilling Bums gelled me, Mom, huh,
Carry Rhoads is here. I'm Dan Bayer, Mary Matthew impressed.

Speaker 14 (01:15:25):
I actually have a note I thought so I know
you would notice well actually ignorant.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Oh, it is a Fox Sports Sunday at Daytona five
hundred Sunday and All Stars Sunday. And before we resume
our game of easy as one, two, three, four, we
have breaking news from the Bay Area. Let's go to
the news desk with Manzi Belanos.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
Multiple reports saying that Lebron James will not be playing
in tonight's All Star Game due to ankle and foot discomfort.
Mm hmm, that's all I'll say.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Wow, do you think he hurt his foot over the
weekend with all of the All Star festivities that he
took place in.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
He didn't even he didn't even show up until today.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
So no, No, we have a game to finish. Hey,
We're going to get to this at the top of
the hour. There's there's a lot to unpack here, but
Lebron out tonight. Lebron James is not three for three
and easy as one two, three, four. Kerry Rhodes is

(01:16:35):
lebron going oh for oh tonight. By the way, I
just saw that he took a picture with his teammates
and he's in street clothes. They're all dressed up. It
looks weird. Carrie.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
Are you ready to continue your game with your lifelines?

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Yeah? My lifeline's killing it today.

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Knowing that a hockey question is on the horizon.

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):
No, I'm not no, no, I'm not all right, Wayne, good.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Name three of four carry nations competing in the Four
Nations face off?

Speaker 3 (01:17:10):
We got you, We got the USA, all right, versus
versus Finland. We got USA versus Finland, and we we
got to have some hockey. We gotta have Canada or
Sweden versus Canada? Right? Would that be the way?

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
I just see three countries that are competing in the
four Nations face off?

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
So Sweden, USA and Finland.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
All right? Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:17:31):
Show me USA that is correct?

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
Show me Sweden out, Show me Finland. That was easy one.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
They didn't even you need Canada. I would have said
Canada one in Canada too if I didn't know the answers.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
The only reason I knew that was because I saw
the USA versus the Finland thing on something I was
looking at, so I had that already, and then you know,
Canada somewhere in that. But so, yeah, it was wasn't
as hard as I thought it was going to be.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
Dan, I'll tell you why people have really embraced this
four nation's face off. And there is no NHL All
Star Game. This is taking the place of that. Getting
the countries involved US and Canada with the brawl last night.
Good stuff, just like Carry Rose has got some good stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Six of six. Your final question, Carrie, name four of
the five.

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Last NFL teams to repeat a Super Bowl champions. There
have been eight in the history, so it's not all
of them, but I need to need to know four
of the five most recent repeat champions repeat.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
So we go.

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
Chiefs, Recent Patriots? Uh recent Chiefs Patriots. I guess we
have to go Cowboys recent. Okay, So Chiefs Patriots, cow Boys?

(01:19:00):
You got another one? Say you got something, right?

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Ray?

Speaker 12 (01:19:04):
Who Raiders?

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
Said Raiders?

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
Recent?

Speaker 12 (01:19:07):
I think it's because I think that's I can't think
of anything else.

Speaker 3 (01:19:14):
All right, I'll go Raiders, I'll get I mean, nobody
else is gonna have them. So Mary, you got something?

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
No, So you got Chiefs, Yes, Chiefs, Patriots, Cowboys, Raiders?

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (01:19:29):
I think so nobody got something we don't.

Speaker 5 (01:19:33):
He said recent. I'm like, it's throwing me off.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:19:37):
I don't have it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
Chiefs, Patriots, for I would say, for sure, and then
Cowboys that's nineties. I know that's not like recent, but
it's right. Go ahead, go ahead, Dan.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
Yeah, we need to know. An answer is that you're four?
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
We have gotten unfinished business here on Fox Sports Radio.
Well the BIS this is already finished for Lebron James
at All Star weekend in the Bay Area. We are
broadcasting live from the tire raq dot com studios tirac
dot com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection in over ten

(01:20:15):
thousand recommended installers tireract dot com the way tire buying
should be. We will get to this news about Lebron
James not taking part in tonight's NBA All Star Game.
You heard this SoundBite from Moncy dealing with ankle and
foot soreness.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Is that enough? Is that enough for you? Or should
we have known about this?

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
Maybe a little bit earlier, Lebron James, we discuss in
a matter of seconds. However, Carrie, you were on the
verge of a perfect game before we were rudely interrupted
by the top.

Speaker 1 (01:20:50):
Of the hour sounder.

Speaker 2 (01:20:51):
In the review of the curtain a little bit, I
mentioned this off the top. We had COVID hit our
home over the weekend and I just didn't want to
get anybody six.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
I didn't want to go to work.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
I'm fine, everything is good, but just you know, you're
working face to face. You're talking a lot. Carrie and
I'd be in the same room for three hours. They're
just they're just playing safe. Got a little bit of
a bug. So I'm from my home studios today. We
were all so wrapped up and easy as one, two, three, four,
we completely lost track of time and I was revealing
the answers to the final question, where Carrie, you were

(01:21:25):
actually seven for seven Because we told you the Kansas
City Chiefs, we're a back to back champion fifty seven
and fifty eight, looking for four of the five last
NFL teams to repeat as Super Bowl champions. We're gonna
just tell you now if you are, if you are
a perfect game winner or not. Show me the New

(01:21:46):
England Patriots. That was a guest of Carrie's and they
were correct Super Bowls thirty eight and thirty nine. Show
me the Dallas Cowboys. They won Super Bowls twenty seven
and twenty eight back to back finally for a perfect
score of ten.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
Is it the Raiders? It is not? That's all right?

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
I said, that's all right.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
Mary mac had been telling you forty nine ers.

Speaker 14 (01:22:14):
I believe what we were debating, me and hay off Air.
Oh yeah, how we ended up losing count?

Speaker 12 (01:22:21):
You lost tracking started it goes Niners.

Speaker 3 (01:22:29):
I was like, I actually started the question. I was like,
are we fox boy, We're not the Raiders.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Clearly the forty nine ers for this question, there have
been eight repeat champions for this question, I needed to know.
The five most recent forty nine ers were the furthest
Away super Bowls twenty three and twenty four. Well was
forgotten or what was left out? Is that for the Niners?
The Denver Broncos remember back to back Super Bowls thirty
two and thirty three?

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Yeah, the Packers in San.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Diego, Davis, yep, yeah, and then top the Falcons the
next year in Miami.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
I had done the lifeline, he would have gone it right. Yes, yes,
so I can be a lifeline.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
I know sports well, Mary, I'll tell you what you're
You may have had to have been because I had
a lifetime ban on Shay when he cheated with Steve
Hartman the last time he.

Speaker 12 (01:23:19):
Was in Okay, this dude's sitting next to me.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
I wasn't doing that. He's just sitting next to me.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
I remember that that was the Saint Louis Hawks day.

Speaker 3 (01:23:28):
Yeah, there's no way I was going to get that.

Speaker 12 (01:23:32):
I don't think anyone's going to get that. Other apartment.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
We were talking about NBA champions and the answers were the Celtics,
Warriors and Saint Louis Hawks, and so I only needed
two of them. So Celtics and Warriors like would have
been the most obvious answer. Then Shay goes, I think
it's the Saint Louis Hawks, And right then and there
we knew that he had been a hartmanized.

Speaker 1 (01:23:50):
We knew it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
We knew it nine of.

Speaker 1 (01:23:52):
Ten on that unfinished Business.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Good. That's a good So I know.

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
I know how Monsey feels about this. I could tell
it in the way that she was saying it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:02):
Yeah, in the breaking news, Lebron backs out and Moncy
absolutely can get in on this conversation. Lebron backs out
of the All Star Game because of this foot naked issue.

Speaker 1 (01:24:13):
You have a problem with this carrier roads.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
It's on brand with Lebron and his brand in general.
Everything is about him. There's no way you don't say
that early and allow somebody that can actually wants to
be a part of that and wants to take, you know,
take part of the festivities and play in an All
Star Game and maybe it's somebody's first. You take somebody's

(01:24:36):
chance of them being able to be in that and
that have that experience. It's just it's just on brand
with Lebron and he's and his selfish ways, and it's
just it rubbed me the wrong way as well. And
I see Moncey through the glass right now. I can
actually see the glass starting the fog up, and it's
it looks like the storm is brewing and it's coming.
So I'm gonna move out the way and let Moncey

(01:24:57):
take over here, Dan, because I do feel it's does
on brand with Lebron's selfish ways.

Speaker 5 (01:25:02):
But go ahead, You're not Ron carry. It is on brand.

Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
And Dan and I have talked about how Lebron doesn't
bother me, like he gets under people's skin a lot,
and he really doesn't. But this gets under my skin
watching this video of everyone in their All Star uniform
but you're in the middle and street clothes.

Speaker 5 (01:25:22):
This isn't a value.

Speaker 4 (01:25:23):
You know, who could have been here, Norman Powell of
the Clippers, like he was already there, He already participated
in the three point shooting contest.

Speaker 5 (01:25:31):
You knew this yesterday, You probably knew this three days ago.
And this is so selfish.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
Again, I agree very on brand, very Lebron, but this one,
it's like, come on, dude, like you. I'm using Norman
Powell obviously as a Clippers fan, but like you said,
he did deserve it. Somebody could have been there their
very first one. Instead, you're in this video in street
clothes with everybody else, and everyone's only going to talk

(01:25:56):
about you, which is what you want. Yes, it's very annoying.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
There's also and I made a list of things that
have gone wrong with this All Star weekend. I don't
want to pile on to the NBA because I think
sometimes we do that maybe too much because it's easy
to do. But we mentioned earlier that lebron and Bronny
weren't going to do skills competition. We mentioned Caitlin Clark

(01:26:22):
saying thanks but no thanks. So then even when it's
Steph Curry's weekend, they scrap the idea of the WNBA
Star against the NBA Star that gets scrappy because of it.
The Spurs due off, Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama cheat
in the skills competition and get disqualified. And now there's
another point that was brought up to what you're saying,

(01:26:43):
Manti and Carrie of taking the spot of someone else. Yeah,
there's going to be eight Rising Stars Challenge, guys who
have no business being anywhere near an All Star Sunday night,
playing in a game that is supposed to enhance the product.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Now, I don't know if it's a bad way of
thinking that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Now we're gonna end up wanting to recognize some of
these Rising Stars Challenge so, you know stars, so we
watch them during the regular season. But what about if
the Rising Stars Challenged team wins and now we're gonna
watch them another game tonight. Nobody wants to see that
and I think now it's become more of a possibility,

(01:27:22):
and I know they've showed us the brackets, and I
just I don't have it in front of me. So
I know Kenny and Charles team plays against each other
at first. But it's the point of if Lebron is
saying this isn't important enough for me, you now have
a team that has seven guys on it instead of eight,
how much are those guys gonna really want to be active?

Speaker 1 (01:27:41):
And if they're gonna be seven, then I'm like, you know,
we'll just play this.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
Forty point game and we'll lose, and then we'll let
another eight team member end up going on in play.
And what about if another team feels the same way.
Now you've tried to go through all of these lengths
and betting over backwards when you could have just expanded
the NBA All Star rosters, which is a point somebody
made on Twitter and I wish I could have remembered
who it was. But it's all of that combined that

(01:28:06):
has me bothered by it. I get that Lebron would
want to rest his ankle and foot. To your guys' point, though,
then talk about it on Thursday, talk about it on Wednesday.
Don't do it an hour before tip off when you
likely knew that this was going to happen. So not
only does someone not get a spot, there's also going
to be eight other guys who really don't even deserve
to be at All Star Weekend on the court as well.

(01:28:28):
It's it's it's a mess. I don't want to pile
on in the NBA, but it's just the All Star
weekend for what it's. Thank goodness there was a car
for mac McClung to dunk over. I mean, like really
like that's that's been the last thing that's been the
saving grace of it, because it has not been a
great weekend for the NBA, and Lebron James has just
made it worse.

Speaker 3 (01:28:47):
Yeah, Lebron's yeah, I agree with everything you said there, Dan,
But yeah, it's just Lebron though. Man, it's it's just
so selfish. He definitely knew he wasn't planning his game
from the jump. I'm sure he didn't even try to
test it. The fact that he wasn't even there doing
throughout the weekend that doesn't help either. He's doing he's
doing something for him and his family. I'm sure, I'm

(01:29:07):
sure that's the case or whatever, but just stay on
vacation with the family. Don't cloud this with you having
to come there, Like Manci said, being street closed in
the middle of the huddle, like yeah it, go sit down,
go sit down somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
We've we all, I think would understand if he's like,
you know what, guys, we actually now have a team
that I think can go somewhere in the playoffs. I'm
forty years old, Like, I'm gonna sit this one out.
It's how we went about it. Yeah, I get it.
I get it. And it's another it's another strike for
the NBA this season. And I don't mean like a hit,
I mean like strike out. You know, sit down, this

(01:29:43):
is this is this is not good. This is not
this is not what you wanted to your marquee weekend event.
And if Lebron's not willing to play by the way
again a limited portion, you're only playing up the forty, Yeah,
then then what's the point. I I wonder what's gonna
happen as well with I wonder how long these games

(01:30:03):
are gonna actually take, because if you win at first,
you want to run around like this isn't AAU ball
where you have four games of the day and you
play in the morning and then have two hours off
and play again and have two hours off. There is
some portion to it of if you've played in the
first game and then you got to play in the
second game, your body cools down. How do you stay active?

(01:30:26):
I think on the surface it sounded intriguing. I just
don't know how it's all gonna play out, Dan.

Speaker 3 (01:30:31):
This game starts at five twenty pm Pacific Standard time.
That's eight twenty on the East Coast. These games are
gonna be quick. Nobody better, you know what I mean. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. It's like it doesn't This doesn't
sound fun at all. And then you take away obviously
it's still Lebron in, one of the biggest stars in
the game, and he's not even playing. Like people aren't

(01:30:52):
going to sit around and watch it. I mean a
lot of Lebron fans out there, so that that just
takes it. Like you said, the NBA takes another hit.

All Star Weekend, wrapping up tonight without Lebron James in
the All Star Game. Carry On the Hot News segment
of twenty twenty five comes up in about twelve minutes
or so.

Speaker 1 (01:32:13):
Carrie, I know that you and I.

Speaker 2 (01:32:15):
Have done this show for the last about I don't
know last year or so it's been. And I think
I've expressed to you my love for Chick fil A
and Carrie's love for it. But you were born, you
lived in the South. Yes, I was from Wisconsin. I

(01:32:36):
remember the first time I ever went to Chick fil A.
It was October.

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
Excuse me. It was late September nineteen ninety eight. I
was in Nashville, Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
My friend took me to a mall and I'd heard
about Chick fil A and I'd always wanted to try it,
and it was hooked, absolutely hooked, so much so that
when I would.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
Cover college football for Fox.

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
In my early days at the network, I'd go to
the South a lot because that's where football rams supreme.
And whenever I would land in Atlanta, I'd immediately go
to the Dwarf House, no matter if I had to
go to Auburn for a game or I had to
drive to Athens, I'd go to the Dwarf House.

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
And that's kind of where the Chick fil A sandwich started.

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
So I love Chick fil a little. Did I know
that there would be another person in my life that
I had no idea. I had the same love for
Chick fil A, and he is taking it to a
whole new level. More than a decade ago, Tom Carroll
was an intern at Fox Sports Radio. Now you know
Tom Carroll is the host and reporter in WEEI in Boston.

(01:33:36):
Many other stops between Fox Sports Radio and going back
home for him in the Northeast, But now you know
Tom Carroll as Chick fil A. Tom here to tell
us his amazing story about his weight loss journey. I'm
only going to say well over one hundred pounds because
I don't know what the up to date number is.

(01:33:56):
But Tom Carroll used a diet only provided I Chick
fil A and was able to drop over one hundred pounds.
Tom Carroll is here to tell us his amazing story.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
Tom. It is great to talk to you again. How
are you.

Speaker 8 (01:34:10):
I'm doing great. Thanks for the intro. I didn't know
I was joining such a Chick fil A connoiseur himself.

Speaker 15 (01:34:17):
I know, that's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (01:34:19):
Here's the problem though, is I always get the sandwich,
you got the you got the salad. That's where that's
where you made your hay. And and for those that
don't know what what is the number right now? How
much weight have you lost since you started this Chick
fil A journey? What is What is the updated number?

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
So?

Speaker 8 (01:34:37):
Before I started my weight loss, I was at three
hundred and sixty pounds and as of today, I am
at two and twenty eight pounds, pain two pound weight
loss based on my Chick fil A salads every day
for lunch.

Speaker 1 (01:34:54):
How did it get to that point? Let's start, Let's
start from the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:34:57):
So how do you get to a point where you're like,
you know, I need to make a change, Because I
think that's the toughest part of it. I need to
lose some pounds and it's tough to start and do it.
How did you get to the point? I know you've
revealed this in your substack and we'll get people the
information at the end of the interview, But how how
did this kind of start for you where you knew
you needed to make a change.

Speaker 8 (01:35:19):
Yeah, so, you know, I'd always been a big guy,
and it was one of those things that throughout my twenties,
I was just happy to have a good time and
go out and eat whatever I want and drink whatever
I want and never really think about it and just
kind of excuse it away as the big guy that
liked to have fun.

Speaker 15 (01:35:38):
And at a certain.

Speaker 8 (01:35:39):
Point it just got to a level where I was
so big that I was having chest things. And on
top of that, I was looking at pictures of myself
and thinking, you don't look good, man Like, it just
doesn't look good. And now you're experiencing stuff in your
chest that you don't know what's going on, and it's

(01:36:01):
time to do something about it, because if you don't,
who knows what could happen. And after a few different
health shares and some on and off dieting and trying
to find things that worked for me, and working through
the four weeks of good eating and then ten days
of really bad eating, and then three days of good

(01:36:23):
and seven days of bad, it was just up and down,
up and down. I finally tumbled into this Chick fil
A spicy southwestsell and.

Speaker 15 (01:36:35):
The minute I had it, I had had.

Speaker 8 (01:36:36):
It before and I knew it was good, but this
time around, after I was in the mindset of knowing
that I wanted to get healthy, I said, oh my god,
this thing is incredible. And I just kind of clicked
in my head, like if I can just eat this
every single day. I'll eat salad every day. If it

(01:36:59):
could always be this good, I will always eat this
is good. So I said to myself, why don't you
just try and eat this salad every single day and
see what happens. And in doing so, it gave me
the confidence to continue to eat healthy and continue to
stay on the straight and narrow and not fall off

(01:37:22):
the wagon, so to speak, and have a food binge
and go crazy. It was it was really really powerful
for me to find a thing that I knew I could.

Speaker 15 (01:37:32):
Do every day, that I could accomplish it, and you know,
it was attainable.

Speaker 8 (01:37:37):
So it's really it's still surreal at some point where
I look at myself or I think about where how
far I've come, and how scary it was when I
was having those chest pains, and I'm just so grateful
that I was able to find a thing that worked
for me.

Speaker 3 (01:37:57):
All Right, Tom, I got a couple of questions for you.
Number One, I just want to say congrats and congrats
on the journey man. That's a that's a beautiful story,
and I'm glad.

Speaker 8 (01:38:04):
That you're appreciated that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
In a healthier place. But I want to bring up
a couple of things, so obviously we know what worked
for you. Did you try any of the other things,
the slim fast, the weight watcher to Jenny Craigs, like
did that ever come on your radar? And was it
the reason you chose to go to Chick fil a
route with the spicy with the salad? Was it?

Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:38:24):
Was the cost a thing? Like I want I want
people to understand that that journey is number one to
be applauded, But there are so many roadblocks with getting
to the to the place of finding that thing for you, Like,
how did you really like commit to the salad outside
of the taste?

Speaker 8 (01:38:41):
Yeah, so I definitely tried different stuff over the years,
and I had success over the years. Yeah, But the
thing that would always get in the way is, you know,
you lose forty pounds here, but then a year later
you have put fifty pounds back off. And like you said,
the Jenny crag in the swim fast and trying to

(01:39:02):
do a fad diet here like oh, I only eat
this type of fish now, and blah blah blah, Like
I've done it, And I was always very quiet about
it because you know, so much of my personality has
always been like the big guy that's you.

Speaker 15 (01:39:16):
Know, down for a good time.

Speaker 8 (01:39:17):
And you know, I never wanted to be like a
dollar that was like no, we can't eat pizza, you know,
like I'm always like, sure, let's go get a slice, right,
So you know, I was never really advertising it per se,
but there I would quietly try these diets and lose
weight and get compliments from friends, and.

Speaker 15 (01:39:37):
Then I'd be like, oh, yeah, you know, I am
actually losing weight in YadA YadA, But then, like I mentioned, I'd.

Speaker 8 (01:39:42):
Always put it back on. I never was able to
find something that worked for me, so it was trial
and error, man, And it really took finding something that
wasn't going to feel mundane. And I always found that
when I would go on these I would just get
bored from eating things that were bland or just eating

(01:40:05):
the same things all the time. So when I finally
found something that was low carb, high protein that was
actually delicious, I said, you know what, like, let's just
stick with this thing. And I you know, I was
realistic with myself. I said, you know, you might get
sick of this too, but I get inch and I haven't.

(01:40:27):
And it's continuing to work for me. So it's really
helped me figure out how to eat outside of that
one meal every day too. I kind of base everything
around getting most of my calories during that one.

Speaker 15 (01:40:43):
Salad, ye, and then I kind of just work off
of that.

Speaker 8 (01:40:46):
So yeah, it's a it's a journey man, and it's
it's like I've been saying to people, it's what worked
for me, and I hope that when people read the
story and check it out or hear about it, they
use that as a way to figure out what's going.

Speaker 1 (01:41:02):
To work for that Dan.

Speaker 3 (01:41:03):
Dan, before you go one more time, let me double
up one time, because that was going to be my
next question, like does he eat all three meals or
like what how many meals a day do you eat?
And is it only the salad? That was my next question.

Speaker 15 (01:41:18):
It's a great question.

Speaker 8 (01:41:19):
I get it a lot. So in the morning, I
usually try to keep it light. And I mean, part
of what I've done with the diet is I try
not to eat super late night and I try not
to eat super.

Speaker 15 (01:41:30):
Early in the morning. So it's kind of like a.

Speaker 8 (01:41:32):
Modified version of intermitted fasting.

Speaker 15 (01:41:36):
And so in the.

Speaker 8 (01:41:38):
Morning, if I know I'm doing a workout early or
I have something that's going to require some energy. Early
in the day, I'll grab some Greek yogurt with some
granola or.

Speaker 15 (01:41:46):
Just a banana like I keep it light and just
to give me the energy that I need. And then
at lunch I have that salad.

Speaker 8 (01:41:54):
And then in the afternoon I try to have a
light snack. Either I'll just do some carrots or pickles.
Actually are a sneaky, great cheat coat if you super
into pickles, zero calories, great stuff there. I also have
these multi grain chips that I always munch on with
some garden fresh salsa, and then at dinner, I make

(01:42:17):
a dinner version of the salad that I eat for lunch.
I know people are going to laugh at me, but
it's a homemade version of it. It's definitely not a
safety it's definitely lowering calories. But they have Southwest salad
kits at the grocery store, so I buy those.

Speaker 15 (01:42:34):
I buy some lettuce, I buy some tomatoes.

Speaker 8 (01:42:37):
I make a bunch of chicken at the beginning of
the week, and then I kind of just force it
out throughout the week, and then I have my salad
at night and usually eat that around somewhere between six
and seven thirty, depending on what I had for work
that night, and.

Speaker 15 (01:42:53):
Then I'm done for the night.

Speaker 8 (01:42:54):
So on top of not drinking alcohol either, that's really.

Speaker 15 (01:42:58):
Helped me.

Speaker 8 (01:43:00):
Not binge eat and you know, send me on these
eating spirals when you're like hung over the next day,
taking to just water and soda water, And that's that's
kind of the that's kind of a secret, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
You know Tom Carroll joining us here at Fox Sports Radio.
He's carry Road Tom dan Byer, Tom media personality in
New York working for WEEI, has been across the country
and once was an intern here at Fox Sports Radio
for US over a decade ago. Tom journaling and chronicling
is is weight loss of over one hundred pounds if
you're just joining us by only eating the.

Speaker 1 (01:43:36):
Chick fil A salad?

Speaker 2 (01:43:37):
And I guess my my question Tom is and this
may be a little inside business, but I've worked in
radio for twenty five years. I've worked second shift three
to eleven. When I got done with work at eleven,
there was a Wendy's that was open all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:43:53):
Oh you know, like it was open late.

Speaker 2 (01:43:54):
Yeah, Like how much does how much does that plan?
Because it's you're you're covering the teams in Boston, you
have Celtics.

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
Games at night.

Speaker 2 (01:44:02):
It's not like you're a nine to five normal thing.
How have you been able to adjust and been able
to do that? Because I feel that that's an excuse
of why people fall off the train of well, I
had to work late, I had to do this and that.
How have you been able to keep it up in
what is kind of a crazy business when you're talking
hours wise, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 8 (01:44:21):
A great question because once I've figured out my routine.
It was right around the time that I got this
new gig in Boston and my hours got a little
bit crazier. They weren't as regular, covering games, going to practices,
a bunch of free food at all these things, or
you know, decreased priced meals that you know you pay

(01:44:43):
ten bucks but then it's all you can eat and
you can eat my crap if you want to. But
there's always the healthy option. They always will throw a
plate of vegetables out there and a healthier protein or
a little salad that you can work in. And it's
a challenge, man, Like, it's really hard when you are

(01:45:04):
in that press box and you have access to the
awesome mac and cheese or the play of desserts, and
it's I could very easily.

Speaker 15 (01:45:14):
Just scoop it on my plate and keep it moving,
but it's.

Speaker 8 (01:45:18):
It's something that I have to make a point of,
you know, not going down that road and giving myself
the the grace if I do have a cheat meal
to go back and lock back in now that I
have my routine.

Speaker 15 (01:45:34):
When there are those cheat meals, or there are those late.

Speaker 8 (01:45:36):
Nights where I have no other option and I'm starving,
you know, I have this thing that I can always
go back to the next day.

Speaker 15 (01:45:44):
So it's like it's.

Speaker 8 (01:45:47):
Having the formula and always getting back to the formula
as much as possible.

Speaker 15 (01:45:51):
And you mentioned like the late night radio.

Speaker 8 (01:45:53):
Stuff, and actually it's funny. When I was an intern
at Fox Sports Radio back in the day, I was
working on JT the Brick and Tom Looney like of
late nights. That was one of the days, like one
of my shifts as an intern. I was doing that,
I think two or three nights a week, and I
would always stayuntil the end of the show with my
guy big brother Jake, and just hanging out.

Speaker 15 (01:46:15):
He'd show me things on the board and he was awesome.

Speaker 8 (01:46:18):
But when I would leave, it was I don't know,
three am, two am, whatever time it was. And over
there in Sherman Oaks there's a twenty four to seven
McDonald's and I had to that basically every single time
before I would head back to my place in Burbank,
I'd go to that Sherman Oaks McDonald's and I was going.

Speaker 15 (01:46:40):
I went so frequently.

Speaker 8 (01:46:42):
That the guy asked to drive through remembered my order
and he would just have it ready for me.

Speaker 3 (01:46:49):
Oh, man, don't remember my order. Man.

Speaker 8 (01:46:52):
So that's the type of thing that I was into
at the time.

Speaker 15 (01:46:57):
So it was, as you can see, it's I've come along.

Speaker 1 (01:47:01):
Watch well, well you have.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
We knew you had it in you when you were
an intern that you were going to go places, and
you certainly are and this journey has been incredible. Just
where can people find your substack? How can they get
in touch with you and read the story. And obviously
they could listen to you on wee I in Boston,
but to hear more about the journey, where can they go?

Speaker 1 (01:47:21):
Tom?

Speaker 15 (01:47:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:47:23):
So they can check me out on my social media
pages across all platforms. A boy TC Fresh.

Speaker 15 (01:47:30):
Which I know is a funny name.

Speaker 8 (01:47:32):
It's y A B O I T C Fresh And.

Speaker 15 (01:47:36):
We can talk about that another day.

Speaker 11 (01:47:38):
So, yeah, I hadn't posted at the top of all
my platforms there and then if they want to just
go right to the website, it's Chick fil A, Tom
dot substack dot com. And it's a pretty long essay
because I had a lot to say.

Speaker 15 (01:47:52):
It was a long.

Speaker 8 (01:47:53):
Journey, So carve out a good twenty thirty minutes and
find a quiet spot if you want to lock in
and read a whole thing. But I'm incredibly grateful for
all the amazing feedback I've been getting. And it's been
so cool to have people reach out and say, hey,
you know, I read your essay and this has really

(01:48:13):
helped me to.

Speaker 15 (01:48:14):
Get on my health journey.

Speaker 8 (01:48:16):

All Star Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
What's happened to mine?

Speaker 4 (01:49:00):
All I gotta say is that Chick fil A is
the best chicken sandwich. I haven't had one in like
eight years, and I can still taste it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
From you like my vegetarian waiting at how good that salads?
Not the sandwiches, raps were good.

Speaker 4 (01:49:19):
I'm just saying that their chicken sandwich like a lee willickers.

Speaker 5 (01:49:24):
Literally my mouth is watering.

Speaker 4 (01:49:25):
Okay, So NBA All Star Game is going to start
in less than an hour without Lebron James, who decided
to make this announcement within the last hour that all
of a sudden he can't play.

Speaker 5 (01:49:36):
Thank you, Lebron.

Speaker 4 (01:49:37):
Jannis Santa to Koomple, responding to the media who asked him,
you want to participate in the slam dunk contest because you.

Speaker 5 (01:49:44):
Tweeted I got hacked. My kids tweeted that.

Speaker 4 (01:49:49):
They came to my nightstand, took my phone out of
my charger, went to their room, tweeted it, and I found.

Speaker 5 (01:49:54):
Out this morning I got hacked. Stop it not kidding.

Speaker 4 (01:49:57):
And I heard the video, So I'm giving you like
the quote, but I heard the video.

Speaker 5 (01:50:01):
He just say that and he's just laughing about.

Speaker 3 (01:50:03):
It, and yeah, he's being host.

Speaker 5 (01:50:05):
So thank you for that as well.

Speaker 4 (01:50:07):
The Taytona five hundred continues because of a very early
rain delay, so after ninety three laps, Austin Sindric is
in the lead, Michael McDowell right now behind him in
second place. In men's college hoops, there were four games
they've all wrapped up. The most recent one was number
twenty five Maryland crushing Iowa one oh one to seventy five.
In Major League Baseball, news came out of New York

(01:50:28):
that Yankee slugger John Carlos Stan is dealing with tendonitis
in both elbows, so he is uncertain for when it
comes to opening a day. And Ludwig Oberg won the
Genesis Invitational at twelve under par overall. Scottie shuffler and
did three shots back and in third place.

Speaker 5 (01:50:44):
Back to you guys, thank.

Speaker 2 (01:50:45):
You very much, Mansi. It is Fox Sports Sunday, Carrie.
Let's do carry on on the other end. That's a
great way to put an exclamation point on what's been
a really, really fun show. He is Carrier out to
final to make Carrie twenty five. You can find Mancy
at Monty Blanios. You can find me at dan Byer
on Fox and again if you want to reach out
to Tom Carroll or see his story again. It was

(01:51:08):
your boy TC thrash and that's boy. I wanted to
say it. He beat me to it as he was
signing off. But that's where you can find him on X.
All Right, Aaron Rodgers is not going to be back
with the New York Jets this Carrie rhads think he'll
be back in the NFL in twenty twenty five. Carrie
answers that question next year on Fox Sports Radio. Fox

(01:51:29):
Sports Sunday, your first Sunday without football following the twenty
twenty four NFL season.

Speaker 1 (01:51:38):
Shortly after the show, our podcast will be going up.

Speaker 2 (01:51:40):

check out the podcast Just search Fox Sports Radio wherever

Speaker 1 (01:51:48):

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
Just search Fox Sports Radio wherever you get your podcast.
You'll see today's show posted right after we get off
the air. I'm Dan Byer. He's the all Pro Carrie
Rhoades hanging out and as we wrapped this one up,
we're gonna wrap it up on a high notes with
a segment that is sweeping the nation. It's time for

(01:52:08):
carry on to where we give carry roads five topics.
He can tell us if he's on board or if
he's off. If he's off that train, and we start
in the National Football League, your friend in your former team,

(01:52:30):
parting ways. Aaron Rodgers told this week that he would
not be a member of the New York Jets next season.
So what are your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers playing again
in the NFL in twenty twenty five?

Speaker 1 (01:52:46):
Carry On?

Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
Carry On?

Speaker 1 (01:52:48):
Still there's some gas left in the tank.

Speaker 3 (01:52:51):
Yeah, he can't go out this way. It would be
to somebody like that, somebody so accomplished to be kicked
out the door and told your services are no longer
need it here at this particular place. You just can't
leave with that tasting your mouth. So I definitely want
to see him have one more crack add it somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (01:53:14):
So okay, but do you think we will? Do you
think we will? I know you want.

Speaker 3 (01:53:19):
He will? It will, he will be somewhere in twenty
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:53:24):
I keep thinking the Raiders.

Speaker 3 (01:53:25):
You think the Raiders.

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
It just I don't think he could go to an
also ran team, like you know, the Raiders have that cachet. Yeah,
I actually feel that they could with Chip Kelly, with
Pete Carroll.

Speaker 1 (01:53:37):
Older guys.

Speaker 2 (01:53:38):
I don't think any young guy is gonna want to
do anything new with Aaron Rodgers. So I don't know.
I'm just I'm gonna put If he plays, I think
he retires. But if he plays, I say the Raiders.

Speaker 3 (01:53:49):
Gotcha, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:53:51):
There was a report this week that the Steelers were
interested in Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. That was then disputed
by outlets in Pittsburgh. But should the Jaguars listen for
offers on quarterback Trevor Lawrence?

Speaker 3 (01:54:03):
I'm going to carry on on that one as well. Yeah, yeah,
I mean, if it was Trevor Lawrence and it was
talking about him wanting to go somewhere else, I would
say I would be off of it. But as far
as other teams checking, checking the temperature on if the
availability is there for Trevor Lawrence, I definitely do a night.

(01:54:23):
If I were the Jaguars, I definitely listen if he
got a nice return for it, because I don't I
don't know if he's going to fit in that situation
in Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 (01:54:31):
I look at it. I think that you have to.

Speaker 2 (01:54:34):
Yeah, I think that you have to look at every
sort of possible because when people aren't willing to trade
the sixteenth best quarterback in the NFL, and I'm just yeah,
I'm all I'm saying is I don't know if he's sixteen.
I don't know if he's twelveth or twentieth. Honestly, I don't.
I don't know. Maybe I should make a list for
these arguments, but if you can't decide, we just know

(01:54:56):
that he's not top five, And I think that at
some point you do have to You do have to
listen no matter what. If it was even a realistic
trade offer, is not even the point. It's just the
fact of, you know, Jacksonville needs to keep all of
their options open.

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
Yeah, they need to reboot and if they can get
off that contract, if somebody was willing to pay for it.
I definitely listened to that.

Speaker 2 (01:55:15):
We're about to have a three game tournament with four
teams and one of those teams does not include Lebron James.

Speaker 1 (01:55:22):
It's gonna wrap up All Star weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:55:24):
But what about your thoughts carry that the three point
Shootout is actually the best part of the entire.

Speaker 1 (01:55:29):
All Star Weekend? Are you on board with that?

Speaker 3 (01:55:31):
Man? That's a That's a great one. I'm going to
carry on on that one as well. Yeah, yeah, I
mean the three point Shootout is about actually having a
skill set, and like, being a really great shoot in
the league is a big deal. And you think about
the brand of the NBA and the best shooters and
some of the best players in the game has ever
seen most of those guys have competed in the three

(01:55:53):
point Contest and had success. Talk about the Dirk Nowitski's,
Larry Birds, the you know, Kyrie Irbans He's won and
when he was young, you know, all those Ray Allens,
all these guys or household names, and the three point
Contest actually adds to that. So I'm definitely on board
with that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
I'm gonna say two things here. Number One, on this point,
it used to not be about the players.

Speaker 1 (01:56:15):
It used to be about the dunk.

Speaker 2 (01:56:16):
Now, Michael Jordan doing the free throw line dunk really
helps when he's, you know, at that time, the best
young talent in the league, and then he ends up
being Michael Jordan. But now it's not even about the
dunks as much. Mac mcclun does put on a show.
But you need name value because that's what the NBA
has built its foundation on those superstars, and so to

(01:56:37):
not have them take part, it's why I actually think
the three point shootout has had more success because you
actually do know the guys that are taking part in it.
I also think that the NBA needs to change All
Star weekend. We shouldn't come out of the NFL and
then the NBA takes a break, like you need to
actually now have it during the off week of the
super Bowl. That's when you need to have it, and

(01:57:00):
then carry the momentum of the of the stretch run
of your season, the biggest games coming out.

Speaker 1 (01:57:05):
Of the NFL season. That's what they need.

Speaker 3 (01:57:07):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
I like that, all right, carry on or off on
this one, expanding the NCAA tournament from sixty eight schools
to seventy six. There was an ESPN report yesterday that
said if expansion were do it occur, it wouldn't be
the seventy two, that it would be the seventy six,
but there was no guarantee on the actual expansion. But
are you on board with expanding the tournament or do

(01:57:28):
you off and want to keep it.

Speaker 1 (01:57:30):
At sixty eight? Yep, that's carry off, carry off.

Speaker 3 (01:57:35):
I'm off on that.

Speaker 1 (01:57:36):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:57:36):
You know, I'm a big NCAA tournament guy. I love
the history of it. I didn't want them to change
from you know, sixty sixty four, right Like, it just
keeps going up and up and up and up, and
obviously you trying to get more money and have more
TV time and more games. I just don't see it
because obviously, even if he goes to seventy six, there's

(01:57:56):
going to be a seventy seven to a seventy eight
team that was close to me determinent. That's kind of
kind of, you know, it kind of defeats the point
of allowing more people in. So I'm off it. I
think it's just I think it's just a money grab,
and I don't really get down with that.

Speaker 2 (01:58:10):
So Pete Fammel of ESPN said that if they were
to expand to seventy six, they would add an additional
first for sight now of the Eastern time zone, likely
to feed some of those Western first and second round
Sits all right, final one and we keep it in
college hoops, Cooper Flag, maybe you wanted to come back
for a sophomore season.

Speaker 3 (01:58:28):
I'm off that one, and I'm as a Duke fan,
and I'm a Duke fan. I love washing him play.
He's so good. I mean, the guy is better than advertised.
He's given his team a mean streak, a tenacity back
to Duke where you think they can win every game again.
And it's been fun to see. He's has some acrobatic
dunks and it's been beautiful. But you don't want to

(01:58:50):
risk injury. I know, nil and all that stuff. He's
getting money now, but that checking the NBA is going
to be different. Go go test your talents in your
in the NBA. War doesn't get out of there.

Speaker 2 (01:59:00):
Man, He's been great and all the accolades, but again
he reclassified.

Speaker 1 (01:59:04):
Do you want to know what his birthday? Is you
ready to hear this?

Speaker 3 (01:59:08):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:59:09):
December twenty first, two thousand and six, two thousand and six,
two thousand and six, Carry Roads.

Speaker 3 (01:59:15):
I was in my second year in the NFL. I
am old there.

Speaker 2 (01:59:19):

Sports Radio. All right, find him at Carrie twenty five Roads.
You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox. You
won't find Lebron James in the All Star Game tonight.
He is taking the night off. I hope it's a
good night for the NBA carry because they need something
good to happen to him.

Speaker 3 (01:59:38):
Yeah, they do it. It's been bad. This doesn't help.

Speaker 2 (01:59:41):
Well, it's been fun with you for the past three hours.
We'll do it next Sunday. He's carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer.
