This is up on Game.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
I hope you guys enjoyed Hour one. Some really good topics.
We talked about Shdor Sanders, we talked about Anthony Richardson,
even talk playing in the preseason. If you miss anything,
don't worry about it. Make sure you check out the podcast.
It'll go up sometime after the show ends. Uh, our
two fellas, let's let's talk about it.
Speaker 8 (01:23):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
The latest in Dallas, there's still no contract for Michael Parsons.
I tend to believe guys that you know, Ceedee Lamb said,
he doesn't need you know, we need to limit the
distractions and we need to focus in on the things
that we need to focus in on. And yet another
(01:46):
week goes by. Games have now started, preseason games have
now started, and you're basically ending camp. I think camps
are ending this week correct, something like two weeks or
something like that.
Speaker 9 (01:58):
That that day normally after the first preseason game.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
You start to wrap it up, right yea, yeah, So
you're you're now entering into a place where it's a
danger zone.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Now.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
We heard Schottenheimer, the coach, say he fully anticipates and
expects that Michael Parsons will be a part of the team.
Speaker 10 (02:19):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
Micah has been there. He has not you know, departed,
He's been, He's been present.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Uh, and they continue to have the discussions. There's a
history of.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
The Cowboys doing deals late, and they've done it with
big name guys.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I mean none more, you know, bigger than EMMITTT. Smith.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
And that took getting a game into the season to
get that deal done.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Finally. Now with that being.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Said, there's the idea and there's the conversation point that
they don't have.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
To redo his deal.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
It's it, there's already a solidified deal and you have
what two more years on it? Is it two more years?
I believe it's two more years or a.
Speaker 9 (03:05):
Year while he's on his fifth year option right now,
and he can.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
They can franchise tag him, right So, so in that sense,
they have him for basically two years if they don't
want to pay him.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
What happens here?
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I don't think it goes to that that point, But
how much are they damaging the relationship between the Cowboys
and Michael Parsons and the Cowboys fan base and Michael Parsons.
How much damage is being done right now?
Speaker 9 (03:37):
Well?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The fan base zero? They do this every year, do
it every year. They did it with Ezekiel, Elliott, Dak Prescott,
Ceedee Lamb, Zach Martin. That's what Jerry Jones. As long
as you're talking about the Cowboys, that's all Jerry Jones
wants to talk about us, good, bad or what talk
about us? And so this is par for the course.
(03:58):
This is what they do now. They reach a deal
with all those players that I just named, and so
I believe, don't reach a deal with Micah when I
don't know, but that fifth year option, like the fact
that the NFLPA fail for that and agree to that,
if you get your fifth year option picked up, you
should not be able to be franchised. That's what it
(04:20):
should have been. But Mike is gonna get paid. It's
just a matter of when. And I've said this, I
don't know if Jerry just not even Jerry Jones. When
you do this to a player of Micah Parsons caliber,
deep down, even when you reach a deal, it's gonna
(04:43):
be some animosity still that will never go away. This
will the way that Michael Parsons is feeling. In the
animosity that he may have, it will never completely go
away because he doesn't like the way they treated him
in this situation and.
Speaker 9 (04:58):
He will always remember.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Is that to me is where it gets real critical,
because Michael Parsons is quite possibly gonna go down as
one of the greatest Cowboy players ever and he's gonna
have this animosity even though they paid him. He's gonna
sign this contract. He gonna smile and say, yeah, you know,
it's just part of the business. I knew a deal
would get done. It was just a matter of time.
(05:22):
I want to say he gonna say all of that,
but deep down he not gonna really mean everything that
he say because of the animosity that's been built up
the way Jerry Jones is talked, have talked about him
and things of that nature. And so a deal will
get done. I don't know when, but I think Jerry
(05:43):
Jones likes the fact that last year it was ceedee
lamb that pra I mean, talk about the Cowboys.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
It don't matter what you say, just talk about.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Us, you guys saying a deal will get done. You
know what, at this point where Michael Parsons and the
Dallas Cowboys are currently, y'all, I really honestly believe that
pride and ego has gotten in the way for Jerry Jones,
Wow and Michael Parsons where they are now, because I
(06:14):
really believe inside he's saying to himself, I don't have
to pay Michael Parsons, but I'm going to pay him
when I want to pay him. I don't care if
he stands in front of the media and says all
these things.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I don't care what he says.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Currently, he is still under contract for one more season,
so I don't have to pay him. But I'm gonna
pay him when I want to and not when he
wants to. And this relationship between Michael and Jerry Jones
and the whole Jones family. Man, I believe that this
(06:51):
relationship is deteriorating. And the messed up part about it
is that he would never look at this man the same. Yeah, Michael,
he just said that this man is probably going to
go down as one of the greatest cowboys of all.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Time, already will if he plays there.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
But the relationship moving forward has already burned. You've already burned.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
The break will always be fractured.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
And then just like you're getting back to the CBA,
like you said, they failed for this and they signed
for this option in the contract.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Then the NFL is not the NBA.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
We don't have the opportunity to opt out of an
option year. So if the team picks up the option year,
we have no say so in that if he wanted
to become a free agent. That's the kind of you
know contract in the CBA that we want the PA
for the NFL to have options to people to be
(07:52):
able to go on the free agent market.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I want Plexico, I won't. I want medical insurance. I
ain't got that option on.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Plex was just talking about that just the other week.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I just I just feel as though, listen, conventional wisdom says,
he's too good of a player, he's too big of
a part of your team, and by the way he
impacts your bottom line tremendously. You're not getting rid of
a golden goose if you have one.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
You just don't. Now.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
The question is why take this long? But we've had
when we was doing Speak for Yourself, we had these
same conversations about Dak Prescott.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You remember that DJ Like every single day, every.
Speaker 9 (08:40):
Day, that's all we're talking about.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
That's all that's being discussed.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I really tend to not fall on the side of panicking, like, oh,
what's gonna happen, die this, that, and the other. It
just seems as though Jerry Jones does things a certain
type of way.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
He's older than dirt, and he don't care how. He
don't care how.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
People feel about him. He don't care how they talk
about him, how they discuss his affairs because I believe
in his mind he knows what he knows, he knows
it how he knows it, and he's going to do
it how he does it, unapologetically. I wish more people
was like that, to be honest, but I think that
that's the key to this situation. And because we went
(09:26):
through it as media members, not just as casual fans.
We were sitting in studio. In fact, before studio, we
had to come up with different reasons as to why
or why not Dak Prescott was getting the contract, not
getting the contract, how much the contract is for every
(09:46):
single day, and that seems to be.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
What's going on right now.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
I just wonder, is there a moment in time where
just maybe what you're saying plex that there's actual a
feeling that says, I ain't doing it this time. It's
that one time where you're like, wait, hold on, this
departed from the norm. What do you mean you're not
(10:11):
doing it? What do you mean you're willing to see
what Michael Parsons wants to do moving forward, We're not
giving him all that he's asking for.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's possible, LeVar, It's very impossible, one hundred percent is possible.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
But this, this is just my take on it.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
The fact that Michael Parsons was president in the off
season Mini Camp reported to training camp. He ain't gonna
be the one to do this. He ain't gonna be
the one that I'm putting my foot down. He's putting
his foot forward to say I'm being the leader, I'm present.
(10:49):
Are y'all gonna reward me? It's gonna eventually happen, but
it's not happening with Michael Parsons because Michael Parsons, he
didn't do what Ceedee Lamb did. Cee Lamb's like, I
ain't going to training camp, y'all gonna pay me before?
He didn't do that, and so it's going to take
a player that says, you know what, y'all not gonna
keep doing me and us like this, I'm not showing
up until I get what I want. And we love
(11:11):
the game so much. But I nil has brought a
business perspective to these kids now, to everybody starting in
high school. I believe times are changing because the business
of football. You're learning it now in high school as
opposed to learn it in the NFL when we did.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Bo hold on Hold on bo asked it, go ahead,
give your question, hold on time, hold on plusure, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
The thing that was fascinating to me, and I feel
like it's kind of been lost in this whole story
is Jerry Jones told the media that he thought he
had worked out a deal with Michael Parsons and that
they shook hands, they shook hands or they had an
understanding of everything, and then he went to his atam
of the eyeeah And for all three of you guys,
as players, would you not want to talk to the
owner of your team, especially during contract negotiations without your
(12:01):
agent presence?
Speaker 7 (12:02):
He sounds s now, Isn't it kind of like that
sounds like a see now person if you're saying we
did a deal, yeah, and we still can't even if
I looked at you and said.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
This is you know what, Jerry?
Speaker 7 (12:13):
And yes, there's no problem having conversations with the owner
of the team. You can, you can build relationships and
you can have conversation. But the bottom line is is
that you're not signing a deal without your team looking
at it and dictating the language and making sure everything
is what it is. So why should the player do that?
(12:36):
Don't act as though you're shaking his hand. We got
a deal, and the deal is done no tomorrow, even
though it says legally speaking, if a deal is done
that way, it is a legally binding deal. A handshake
deal is a legally binding deal. But it's still the proof.
There's still the burden of proof to prove that this
(12:56):
is what happened. We don't need to talk about content.
Get left up with me because I'll freaking lose it
telling y'all about having a relationship with the owner and
being in cahoots with the owner and doing things to
get under the salary cap for the ownership to be
able to keep players so that we could try to
win and bring other players in so we can win.
(13:17):
And in the end, because we rushed to get it
done to get under the cap, they missed something in
one of the paragraphs with a with a bonus that
was six over six million dollars, and that man stood
on business and saying, you ain't getting it. It's not
going in the contract. And that was with the agents
being involved. Because the contract got certified signed, they're looking
(13:42):
at it like, let the legal teams handle it.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
You got you and I were good.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
No we're not You took my annual average down by
like ten million dollars.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
We're not good. So no, you don't do deals.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You don't.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
You don't get too deep into the minutia, into the
conversations with ownership because that's not your job.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
That's not your job. What you got, I got a
quick question.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Does it?
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Does that feel getting good? Getting that all out?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
No?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I mean I've got it. Well, well, here's the thing.
Michael Parsons is one of my guys. That's one of
my guys. So he's got to deal with public scrutiny.
He's got to deal with which I don't care about
the public scrutiny.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Like I think, I think everyone, even people at home,
can understand getting screwed by like a higher manage.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Like this is a very relatable story. Media is media.
There's always going to be both sides.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
But this is a difference though when you're talking this
amount of money bow that was.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Yeah, they can, they can relate to it, but it's like, oh.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
You complaining about you're gonna make the X amount of millions.
They they're getting ripped off, so to speak, with a
few hundred dollars, and so they can relate, but it's
just take the deal. Take the deal. That's what everybody
likes to I think.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
That's just kind of fallen in recent years as people
have finally realized, like it's billionaires against millionaires and they
start doing the math in their head too.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
But yeah, I agree, it's it's always it's yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
I just think that it's a sad It's a sad
situation to put someone who has name another player in
the history of the game, not not recently, not lately,
name another player in the history of the game that
has gotten out to the type of start that Michael
(15:32):
Parsons has gotten out to, and you have a problem
just taking care of business where we get it done
and we just keep moving with Michael. You want to say, oh, well,
there's people that have had problems with him internally, Oh well,
you know he does the podcast and one of his
teammates said he needs to do so. Now you want
to start doing character assassinating.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
You want to.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Start lowering the level of and diminishing the level of
who Michael Parsons is because you can't get your mind
wrapped around the fact that you don't want to pay
him this amount of money or the media doesn't want
to get their heads wrapped around the fact that he
wants to command more money than what TJ. Watt and
Miles Garrett got. That's ridiculous, man, you're sitting there talking
(16:17):
about this. Dude has had issues in the locker room.
So now we're going back to what people do to
players when they're coming out in the draft, or what.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Coaches do to players. All coaches, administrators.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
That they do this crap all the time, always talkings
on players, always behind their backs, talking as on players,
and then when it's convenient, you want to throw it
out to the media, and the media throws it out
to the people, and the masses start drawing these conclusions.
That's how people get canceled. That's how things get turned.
(16:52):
People are choosing sides and for what. Because when you
come back to it, the dude did what he was
supposed to do to earn the right to say, this
is the position we're in right now. Just do right
by me, Just do right by me. I don't see
why that's such a confusing thing. And I don't see
why it's so hard to actually think that, you know what,
(17:13):
let's get the deal done, because the longer we wait.
The more it's gonna cost us just seems strange to me, Fellas.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Let's take a quick break. I hate that I ranted,
but I'm glad that I did. Y'all needed to hear it.
Maybe y'all did, maybe you didn't. I don't care. It's
our show. We get to talk. I kind of took
over right there. I'm sorry, TJ. I'm sorry, plex I'm
getting off of my soapbox now.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
You know.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I mean, people talk bad about people. You know you've
been there, Plex, TJ not so much. You know. People
love teach for some strange reason. I think cause TJ
looks young and he's got that hair people don't lose there,
and he wasn't a high draft pick. Let's remind him
of that. He wasn't a high draft. People don't get
mad at TJ. I don't get it. But people be
(17:54):
hating me, and I know they've hated on you, Plexico.
I don't know. We'll call it what it is. But hey,
I hate to do this, but we're gonna go to
a break right now. All right, you're listening to up
on Game. It's Tjits was I as plecks to go
bars olavarrer Inton, We'll be right back.

Just search Fox Sports Radio on YouTube. Fellas Shakari Richardson.
All right, yeah, you know this this happened, uh not
too long ago, I would assume, Okay, July twenty seventh.
This happened in a Seattle Tacoma airport. There was an
exchange between her and her her boyfriend, her her other
(19:18):
Christian Coleman, who is also a track track athlete as well,
uh and obtained from TMZ from the airport. There's surveillance
footage of the two being in an exchange, a heated exchange.
She she's nudging him, she's grabbing out on, grabbed his
(19:41):
book bag, pushed him up into the wall. I guess
the security that was there. They hit the officer up.
The officer came and they detained Shakari Richardson. Have you
guys seen the footage of the n that'd be my
first question to you guys, Yes you saw it? Plex
(20:05):
did you? Were you able to see it?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yes? I saw it?
Speaker 6 (20:08):
All right? So what is your what's your take on?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Let's just start with let's just start with the idea
of if you're in public, because I mean, I'm you know,
we we we're all married. I mean and we've really
before marriage, we've we've had you know, girlfriends and stuff
that we travel with, you know, you do things with.
There have been heated discussions in public before they happened.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Do you think that.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
The physical aspect of it was so so egregious that
it required her being detained?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
No, okay, let's go there. Let's go there.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, what I saw was she's pushing, pushing, grabbing his backpack,
just kind of you know, man handling him a little bit.
Because he had his backpack on. He's walking away, just
trying to avoid it. He knows she's upset to get arrested.
I was just like wow, because I mean, what we
saw she she hadn't She didn't strike him in his
(21:08):
face and was punching on him in his face. I
didn't see any of that.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
She shoved him up against that wall kind of aggressively.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Yeah, but man, that woman weighs one hundred and twenty pounds.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
That's how you know she's strong.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
One hundred and twenty You do know that.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
That's how people approach situations when women are involved with
what you just said.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Just now, I'm just playing out there. I'm just playing both.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
You may be right, but she didn't punch him, and
Christian Coleman is not the biggest guy himself. I will
say that I don't feel like she should have been arrested,
but I'll say this, man, he showed a lot of
restraint a ton. He showed a lot of restraint and
just trying to walk away and not escalate the situation.
(21:55):
I'm just a fan of everybody keep your hands, see yourself.
And I'm glad he didn't respond and retaliate because then
it would have been a huge scene. He would have
been vilified. I just tell my daughter, we know this.
I got three daughters, two of them are grown. Please
don't put me in this situation because now I gotta
(22:17):
show you that I really am what I say I am.
Like I'm gonna show you that I really am what
I say I am. Don't put me in this situation.
And if somebody do that to levard daughters. And he
called me, he called me, somebody do it to your daughter,
PLEXI and you call if you call me, I'm approaching it.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Okay, he need me.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
So now I'm treating him like they I'm going in
and I'm gonna show people that I am who I
say I am. And so don't put me in that situation.
And it's just unfortunate. And the day and age of
everything is recorded. You know, TMZ gonna come with the footage.
It really is an unfortunate situation. But I didn't believe
(23:03):
she deserved to be arrested. It was just a lot
of pushing, a lot of pushing going on. But yes,
you are right, LeVar. If it was a man doing that,
it would have been outraged for pushing her like that.
But we live in a world of double standards.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
But yeah, you know I saw it. I didn't think
it was to the point where you know, she received
I believe, a fourth degree domestic assault. So I looked
it up and it says a fourth degree domestic violence
addresses conduct that may not leave a physical mark, but
(23:37):
is still considered harmful. So I'm saying to myself, who
came up with this charge that she got arrested? Did
Christian call the police and and and say that.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
He was assaulted? No, I didn't see any of that.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
So the officer, the officer handled it. So when they
when the officer handle it, that now becomes a legal thing.
It's legal. It's out of his hands and her hands.
Once they wants to security people. Because here's the thing
about the video. She just kept going like, if you're
going to have an exchange, I get it.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Have the exchange.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
The one thing I say, add add to this the
idea of there's no sound.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I don't know how loud they were. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
How disruptive it was. And people at airports don't play
that type of mess.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
I don't play it. I know y'all don't play it.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Nobody plays that I don't want to see you screaming, fussing, fighting,
pushing somebody while I'm at the airport, Like you know,
that's just one of the wrong places to do it.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
So just keep that in mind.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
We don't know how loud this was, you know, because
when you beefing with somebody, it seems as though when
she reached for him, she was going for maybe his headphones,
and I think that that was in the report she
was trying to knock his headphone out. So basically, what
that says to me deductive reasoning. He was ignoring, you said,
(25:06):
like the control of it, TJ. He was ignoring what
she was saying. And what what do like, Hey, y'all
take this for what is worth. It's just me saying
what I'm saying. What do women do when they feel
like they're being ignored in that moment and they get
louder and they get they get more aggressive towards the situation.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
That's just what, right, Chris Chris Christian Coleman. He's dating her, Yep,
he knows her temperament, he knows how she is as
a person and a woman. Sure, so he probably felt
like if he did anything, but what he did, they
(25:48):
would have escalated.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
And it's still escalated. It's still escalated.
Speaker 9 (25:53):
Did you think it was airport too? Did you think
it was that mad? I didn't.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
I like Plex's explanation in the fourth degree or whatever
it was. I did not think it was that bad.
But what I do know is is that people have
gotten arrested for domestic situations for far less than that.
I do know that I've seen I've seen situations where
a person got taken from a bar one and one
time in particular, the person was taken away in cuffs from.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
A bar over a disagreement.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Like a woman talked to the guy the dudes, the dude's.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Girl didn't like what happened. She shoves him in the face.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
I mean straight mush, didn't punch him, didn't slap him,
but open hand much the man in his face right,
and he got arrested. He got put in cuffs and
got taken away. I've seen it with my other two eyes.
(26:57):
So while I'll say, like in theory, did she do
anything that required him to be arrested, I mean her
to be arrested.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
What matters is what was the interpretation of the onlookers
that were there that led to that taking place.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
God, you got the last word on it.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Plex Yeah, it doesn't matter how big she is, she's
one hundred pounds or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
But I do believe that this situation could have.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Got a lot, a lot worse if it wasn't in
the airport, because I believe that Christian is recognizing his surrounding,
said listen, I'm in the airport. I'm just going to
try to walk away from the situation and try to
de escalate what's happening to me right now and in
front of all these people. But if it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Happen in the airport, who knows what happened.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Maybe it's a nod story, maybe she pushes him and
he punches in the face of whatever the case may be.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
So I believe this whole.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Incident happening the airport is the only reason why this
is really made public, and that's the reason why everybody's.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Talking about all right, Well, I hope they get the
help that they need or they just leave each other alone,
Like just leave y'all leave each other alone, because just
like if that was your daughter and and we get
upset about that we got sons too, and don't mess
around with my sons either. You know. I'm just I'm
on that too. I'm on that time with with don't don't.
(28:30):
Don't ruin the flow of my kids. Don't ruin that flow.
Like control yourself. If you got a problem with one
of them, walk away, walk away. They're taught to walk away.
You walk away as well, and let cooler heads prevail.
Be sensible about it. Understand there's always consequences and and
(28:50):
things that happen when you do things in haste and
in anger and emotion. It's just not sensible to do that.
So anyway, Okay, hey, we got through that. Let's get
through an update with Isaac Lowinkron and then we'll go
from there. What you got I Low.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
We've got an honest to goodness NFL preseason game going
on right now in Buffalo, where the New York Giants
lead the Bills three to zero nine seconds into the
second quarter. Russell Wilson made his Giants' debut, played one series,
completed six of seven passes for twenty eight yards, helping
lead the Giants to a field goal. The next end
of the game. For the Giants, rookie twenty fifth overall
(29:30):
draft pick Jackson Dard. He's completed three out of four
passes for sixteen yards. Bill's running back James Cook, who
had set out four straight practices due to a contract dispute,
surprisingly participated in pregame warmups in full uniform today, though
he is not playing in the game itself. Detroit Lions
safety Maurice Norris was in stable condition and had feeling
(29:51):
and movement in all his extremities after being injured in
last night's preseason game against the Falcons. He remained overnight
at a hospital in Atlanta for observation. Today, and Orris
posted on Instagram, quote, I'm all good man, don't stress it.
Appreciate all the check ins and love unquote and speaking
of Atlanta, one major League Baseball game going on right
(30:11):

out of here with the conversation of Geno Smith was
playing against his former team, rejuvenated his career in a
(32:20):
lot of ways and had the opportunity to go back
with his coach that coached them there and in Las
Vegas and is now the Las Vegas quarterback. Well, him
and Match Crosby were leaving the field, didn't like some
of the things that were being whispered to them, and
(32:41):
they shot the birds. And I ain't talking about clapping
or stuff you move on the streets. I'm talking about
them fingers on your hand, the middle one that goes
up when you're you know, hitting somebody with the I
salute you, you know what I mean. What's the wildest
thing y'a've ever done, you know, to a fan base
(33:01):
when they were heckling you or whispering sweet, nothing's to
you or whatever. I mean, I know there's one story
out there on TJ, but you know, there could have
been something wilder that he's done. What's the wildest thing
response that you've had to to a crowd being very
very uh, you know, disrespectful towards you will say, which,
(33:22):
what's you hear about me?
Speaker 9 (33:23):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (33:23):
When when you you know I'm from Pittsburgh, bro, you
know I'm always hold I'm gonna always hold.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
The tar you got? Who who's your mama? From US?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Pittsburghers, US, US yensers US for one tours? Because you
you was wiping your feet down with the terrible tow
that was like, that's.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Crazy, disrespectful.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
A Cincinnati Bengal wiping his cleats off after the game
with a terrible towel. That that to me, that that's
what I recall and I remember that's what's out there
on you. But there could have been something more contentious.
There could have been something more you know, like you know,
you had to deal with what you had to deal with,
and they went a little too far.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
You know, I like playing the Steelers because defensively, they
talked a lot, and I was like the only guy
on offense that talked a lot, like Chad would talk
a lot. But Chad talking was really just fun. He
didn't want no problems. He just wanted to have fun.
I was kind of with whatever, and so were the Steelers.
You know, Peasy, Mike, Taylor, Tyrone Carter, them dudes, they
(34:31):
just you know, it was like me going against all
them by myself, but I enjoyed it. I remember one
time we played the Steelers, another Steeler one and a
fan was just talking crazy trash to me, man, and
then we got kind of cool and he asked me
to give you some Gatorade. I literally got a cup
of Gatorade and walked it to.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Him, and then he asked for another one.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
I thought to myself, is he gonna throw this Gatorade
back in my face? And then I'm be so angry
I might have to jump into the crowd. And so
me and Buddy was going at it, and I ended
up giving him three cups Gator Ray, bro three Cupsicator Ray.
We were super cool. That was a good one, and
then the other one.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
What do you do with the other two.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
He drank he.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Was thirsty. Yeah, he was thirsty. Yeah, it was hot.
And the other one was was playing the forty nine ers.
It was a role game. And my wife and my
kids only had two kids at the time. They were
sitting on the front row behind our bench and somebody
was being super disrespectful with him, a dude. So I said, oh, man,
(35:40):
So she calls me over their pregame and was kind
of telling me. He was right there listening. So I
said something to him. He got smart, obviously, but say him.
I said, bro, that's my wife, Like, watch how you're
talking to her. And he basically was like, and if
I don't, what you're gonna do?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Ooh?
Speaker 9 (35:57):
And so there was nothing.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
That's that hair, that's that's slicked back hair. Dog, that's
see that. I didn't never get that type of risk.
Speaker 9 (36:04):
And guess what he's that he said something about my hair.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
He had his lady.
Speaker 9 (36:07):
He had this lady. He had his lady with him.
I said, actual, lady, how she.
Speaker 6 (36:12):
Was sweating you? That's well, that's it.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
You already knew what she was always she was sweating you,
and he ain't like it.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Luckily, my uncle was at the game, So my uncle
took care of before me.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
Yeah, and I ain't even gonna ask what happened with
that you took care of.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yeah, I ain't even.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Gonna ask what happened with that?
Speaker 7 (36:27):
Plex and you from you from the tide, So I
know you got one. I know you got a good one.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I have a plethora of stuff I.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Hadn't give me, and all of which none of this
language can be said on the airway.
Speaker 7 (36:48):
Okay, give us, give us like kind of the clean
you know how they got the radio version.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Give us the radio version. My hands are sweating here
like I'm.
Speaker 7 (36:55):
All nervous nowhere. I'm near the red button. Go ahead,
throw it how you want to throw it?
Speaker 3 (37:01):
What am I supposed to say? I mean, what happened?
Speaker 9 (37:03):
What happened?
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Oh my gosh. We played out of Nashville in Tennessee,
and I've been there like, you know, two, two, three
years in a row, because you know, obviously when I
came into the league, this was when I was at Pittsburgh.
That Tennessee was in our division, so you always went
to Nashville.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
And I had.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
This this one dude just sat in the same chair
like middle of fifty yard line maybe ten rows up. Man,
he kept just saying you sorry, and man for a.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Black boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
And I'm just like, yo, what what's wrong with this dude?
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Right? So I get the secured.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
I said, look, man, I ain't gonna have this dude
right here sitting behind me. He just gonna keep disrespecting me.
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go up in this stand
and get him. And then he came. When I went
to the went to the gatorade cooler, he went down
to the to the to the rail and he.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Was like, hey, hey, m if I know you hear me.
Speaker 5 (38:07):
And Yo, when I say I blacked out, I'm talking
about I blacked out. And I called him everything in
the book that came to my mind at that point,
and it was it was, it was.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
It was agreed because you was mean back then.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
People people don't know that, Like, like, you're a very
nice dude these days, but when you were a player,
you were really a mean dude.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Bro, Like, you aren't a very nice person as a player. Bro, Like,
I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
I wasn't trying to be a nice person.
Speaker 7 (38:38):
Was your reputation wasn't being nice. So just give me
one explicitive that you gave him. Just what was one
that you was the most hurt you want today?
Speaker 4 (38:46):
What was the most I'm not going to give you
what you want to And man them dudes on running

Speaker 3 (00:59):
This is up on Game.
Speaker 7 (01:01):
I hope you guys enjoyed Hour one. Some really good topics.
We talked about Shdor Sanders, we talked about Anthony Richardson,
even talk playing in the preseason. If you miss anything,
don't worry about it. Make sure you check out the podcast.
It'll go up sometime after the show ends. Uh, our
two fellas, let's let's talk about it.
Speaker 8 (01:23):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (01:24):
The latest in Dallas, there's still no contract for Michael Parsons.
I tend to believe guys that you know, Ceedee Lamb said,
he doesn't need you know, we need to limit the
distractions and we need to focus in on the things
that we need to focus in on. And yet another
(01:46):
week goes by. Games have now started, preseason games have
now started, and you're basically ending camp. I think camps
are ending this week correct, something like two weeks or
something like that.
Speaker 9 (01:58):
That that day normally after the first preseason game.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
You start to wrap it up, right yea, yeah, So
you're you're now entering into a place where it's a
danger zone.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Now.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
We heard Schottenheimer, the coach, say he fully anticipates and
expects that Michael Parsons will be a part of the team.
Speaker 10 (02:19):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
Micah has been there. He has not you know, departed,
He's been, He's been present.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Uh, and they continue to have the discussions. There's a
history of.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
The Cowboys doing deals late, and they've done it with
big name guys.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
I mean none more, you know, bigger than EMMITTT. Smith.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
And that took getting a game into the season to
get that deal done.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Finally. Now with that being.
Speaker 7 (02:47):
Said, there's the idea and there's the conversation point that
they don't have.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
To redo his deal.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
It's it, there's already a solidified deal and you have
what two more years on it? Is it two more years?
I believe it's two more years or a.
Speaker 9 (03:05):
Year while he's on his fifth year option right now,
and he can.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
They can franchise tag him, right So, so in that sense,
they have him for basically two years if they don't
want to pay him.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
What happens here?
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I don't think it goes to that that point, But
how much are they damaging the relationship between the Cowboys
and Michael Parsons and the Cowboys fan base and Michael Parsons.
How much damage is being done right now?
Speaker 9 (03:37):
Well?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The fan base zero? They do this every year, do
it every year. They did it with Ezekiel, Elliott, Dak Prescott,
Ceedee Lamb, Zach Martin. That's what Jerry Jones. As long
as you're talking about the Cowboys, that's all Jerry Jones
wants to talk about us, good, bad or what talk
about us? And so this is par for the course.
(03:58):
This is what they do now. They reach a deal
with all those players that I just named, and so
I believe, don't reach a deal with Micah when I
don't know, but that fifth year option, like the fact
that the NFLPA fail for that and agree to that,
if you get your fifth year option picked up, you
should not be able to be franchised. That's what it
(04:20):
should have been. But Mike is gonna get paid. It's
just a matter of when. And I've said this, I
don't know if Jerry just not even Jerry Jones. When
you do this to a player of Micah Parsons caliber,
deep down, even when you reach a deal, it's gonna
(04:43):
be some animosity still that will never go away. This
will the way that Michael Parsons is feeling. In the
animosity that he may have, it will never completely go
away because he doesn't like the way they treated him
in this situation and.
Speaker 9 (04:58):
He will always remember.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Is that to me is where it gets real critical,
because Michael Parsons is quite possibly gonna go down as
one of the greatest Cowboy players ever and he's gonna
have this animosity even though they paid him. He's gonna
sign this contract. He gonna smile and say, yeah, you know,
it's just part of the business. I knew a deal
would get done. It was just a matter of time.
(05:22):
I want to say he gonna say all of that,
but deep down he not gonna really mean everything that
he say because of the animosity that's been built up
the way Jerry Jones is talked, have talked about him
and things of that nature. And so a deal will
get done. I don't know when, but I think Jerry
(05:43):
Jones likes the fact that last year it was ceedee
lamb that pra I mean, talk about the Cowboys.
Speaker 9 (05:51):
It don't matter what you say, just talk about.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Us, you guys saying a deal will get done. You
know what, at this point where Michael Parsons and the
Dallas Cowboys are currently, y'all, I really honestly believe that
pride and ego has gotten in the way for Jerry Jones,
Wow and Michael Parsons where they are now, because I
(06:14):
really believe inside he's saying to himself, I don't have
to pay Michael Parsons, but I'm going to pay him
when I want to pay him. I don't care if
he stands in front of the media and says all
these things.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I don't care what he says.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Currently, he is still under contract for one more season,
so I don't have to pay him. But I'm gonna
pay him when I want to and not when he
wants to. And this relationship between Michael and Jerry Jones
and the whole Jones family. Man, I believe that this
(06:51):
relationship is deteriorating. And the messed up part about it
is that he would never look at this man the same. Yeah, Michael,
he just said that this man is probably going to
go down as one of the greatest cowboys of all.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Time, already will if he plays there.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
But the relationship moving forward has already burned. You've already burned.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
The break will always be fractured.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
And then just like you're getting back to the CBA,
like you said, they failed for this and they signed
for this option in the contract.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Then the NFL is not the NBA.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
We don't have the opportunity to opt out of an
option year. So if the team picks up the option year,
we have no say so in that if he wanted
to become a free agent. That's the kind of you
know contract in the CBA that we want the PA
for the NFL to have options to people to be
(07:52):
able to go on the free agent market.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I want Plexico, I won't. I want medical insurance. I
ain't got that option on.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Plex was just talking about that just the other week.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I just I just feel as though, listen, conventional wisdom says,
he's too good of a player, he's too big of
a part of your team, and by the way he
impacts your bottom line tremendously. You're not getting rid of
a golden goose if you have one.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
You just don't. Now.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
The question is why take this long? But we've had
when we was doing Speak for Yourself, we had these
same conversations about Dak Prescott.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You remember that DJ Like every single day, every.
Speaker 9 (08:40):
Day, that's all we're talking about.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
That's all that's being discussed.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
I really tend to not fall on the side of panicking, like, oh,
what's gonna happen, die this, that, and the other. It
just seems as though Jerry Jones does things a certain
type of way.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
He's older than dirt, and he don't care how. He
don't care how.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
People feel about him. He don't care how they talk
about him, how they discuss his affairs because I believe
in his mind he knows what he knows, he knows
it how he knows it, and he's going to do
it how he does it, unapologetically. I wish more people
was like that, to be honest, but I think that
that's the key to this situation. And because we went
(09:26):
through it as media members, not just as casual fans.
We were sitting in studio. In fact, before studio, we
had to come up with different reasons as to why
or why not Dak Prescott was getting the contract, not
getting the contract, how much the contract is for every
(09:46):
single day, and that seems to be.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
What's going on right now.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
I just wonder, is there a moment in time where
just maybe what you're saying plex that there's actual a
feeling that says, I ain't doing it this time. It's
that one time where you're like, wait, hold on, this
departed from the norm. What do you mean you're not
(10:11):
doing it? What do you mean you're willing to see
what Michael Parsons wants to do moving forward, We're not
giving him all that he's asking for.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's possible, LeVar, It's very impossible, one hundred percent is possible.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
But this, this is just my take on it.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
The fact that Michael Parsons was president in the off
season Mini Camp reported to training camp. He ain't gonna
be the one to do this. He ain't gonna be
the one that I'm putting my foot down. He's putting
his foot forward to say I'm being the leader, I'm present.
(10:49):
Are y'all gonna reward me? It's gonna eventually happen, but
it's not happening with Michael Parsons because Michael Parsons, he
didn't do what Ceedee Lamb did. Cee Lamb's like, I
ain't going to training camp, y'all gonna pay me before?
He didn't do that, and so it's going to take
a player that says, you know what, y'all not gonna
keep doing me and us like this, I'm not showing
up until I get what I want. And we love
(11:11):
the game so much. But I nil has brought a
business perspective to these kids now, to everybody starting in
high school. I believe times are changing because the business
of football. You're learning it now in high school as
opposed to learn it in the NFL when we did.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Bo hold on Hold on bo asked it, go ahead,
give your question, hold on time, hold on plusure, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
The thing that was fascinating to me, and I feel
like it's kind of been lost in this whole story
is Jerry Jones told the media that he thought he
had worked out a deal with Michael Parsons and that
they shook hands, they shook hands or they had an
understanding of everything, and then he went to his atam
of the eyeeah And for all three of you guys,
as players, would you not want to talk to the
owner of your team, especially during contract negotiations without your
(12:01):
agent presence?
Speaker 7 (12:02):
He sounds s now, Isn't it kind of like that
sounds like a see now person if you're saying we
did a deal, yeah, and we still can't even if
I looked at you and said.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
This is you know what, Jerry?
Speaker 7 (12:13):
And yes, there's no problem having conversations with the owner
of the team. You can, you can build relationships and
you can have conversation. But the bottom line is is
that you're not signing a deal without your team looking
at it and dictating the language and making sure everything
is what it is. So why should the player do that?
(12:36):
Don't act as though you're shaking his hand. We got
a deal, and the deal is done no tomorrow, even
though it says legally speaking, if a deal is done
that way, it is a legally binding deal. A handshake
deal is a legally binding deal. But it's still the proof.
There's still the burden of proof to prove that this
(12:56):
is what happened. We don't need to talk about content.
Get left up with me because I'll freaking lose it
telling y'all about having a relationship with the owner and
being in cahoots with the owner and doing things to
get under the salary cap for the ownership to be
able to keep players so that we could try to
win and bring other players in so we can win.
(13:17):
And in the end, because we rushed to get it
done to get under the cap, they missed something in
one of the paragraphs with a with a bonus that
was six over six million dollars, and that man stood
on business and saying, you ain't getting it. It's not
going in the contract. And that was with the agents
being involved. Because the contract got certified signed, they're looking
(13:42):
at it like, let the legal teams handle it.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
You got you and I were good.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
No we're not You took my annual average down by
like ten million dollars.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
We're not good. So no, you don't do deals.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You don't.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
You don't get too deep into the minutia, into the
conversations with ownership because that's not your job.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
That's not your job. What you got, I got a
quick question.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Does it?
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Does that feel getting good? Getting that all out?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
No?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I mean I've got it. Well, well, here's the thing.
Michael Parsons is one of my guys. That's one of
my guys. So he's got to deal with public scrutiny.
He's got to deal with which I don't care about
the public scrutiny.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
Like I think, I think everyone, even people at home,
can understand getting screwed by like a higher manage.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Like this is a very relatable story. Media is media.
There's always going to be both sides.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
But this is a difference though when you're talking this
amount of money bow that was.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Yeah, they can, they can relate to it, but it's like, oh.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
You complaining about you're gonna make the X amount of millions.
They they're getting ripped off, so to speak, with a
few hundred dollars, and so they can relate, but it's
just take the deal. Take the deal. That's what everybody
likes to I think.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
That's just kind of fallen in recent years as people
have finally realized, like it's billionaires against millionaires and they
start doing the math in their head too.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
But yeah, I agree, it's it's always it's yeah.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
I just think that it's a sad It's a sad
situation to put someone who has name another player in
the history of the game, not not recently, not lately,
name another player in the history of the game that
has gotten out to the type of start that Michael
(15:32):
Parsons has gotten out to, and you have a problem
just taking care of business where we get it done
and we just keep moving with Michael. You want to say, oh, well,
there's people that have had problems with him internally, Oh well,
you know he does the podcast and one of his
teammates said he needs to do so. Now you want
to start doing character assassinating.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
You want to.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Start lowering the level of and diminishing the level of
who Michael Parsons is because you can't get your mind
wrapped around the fact that you don't want to pay
him this amount of money or the media doesn't want
to get their heads wrapped around the fact that he
wants to command more money than what TJ. Watt and
Miles Garrett got. That's ridiculous, man, you're sitting there talking
(16:17):
about this. Dude has had issues in the locker room.
So now we're going back to what people do to
players when they're coming out in the draft, or what.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Coaches do to players. All coaches, administrators.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
That they do this crap all the time, always talkings
on players, always behind their backs, talking as on players,
and then when it's convenient, you want to throw it
out to the media, and the media throws it out
to the people, and the masses start drawing these conclusions.
That's how people get canceled. That's how things get turned.
(16:52):
People are choosing sides and for what. Because when you
come back to it, the dude did what he was
supposed to do to earn the right to say, this
is the position we're in right now. Just do right
by me, Just do right by me. I don't see
why that's such a confusing thing. And I don't see
why it's so hard to actually think that, you know what,
(17:13):
let's get the deal done, because the longer we wait.
The more it's gonna cost us just seems strange to me, Fellas.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
Let's take a quick break. I hate that I ranted,
but I'm glad that I did. Y'all needed to hear it.
Maybe y'all did, maybe you didn't. I don't care. It's
our show. We get to talk. I kind of took
over right there. I'm sorry, TJ. I'm sorry, plex I'm
getting off of my soapbox now.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
You know.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
I mean, people talk bad about people. You know you've
been there, Plex, TJ not so much. You know. People
love teach for some strange reason. I think cause TJ
looks young and he's got that hair people don't lose there,
and he wasn't a high draft pick. Let's remind him
of that. He wasn't a high draft. People don't get
mad at TJ. I don't get it. But people be
(17:54):
hating me, and I know they've hated on you, Plexico.
I don't know. We'll call it what it is. But hey,
I hate to do this, but we're gonna go to
a break right now. All right, you're listening to up
on Game. It's Tjits was I as plecks to go
bars olavarrer Inton, We'll be right back.

Just search Fox Sports Radio on YouTube. Fellas Shakari Richardson.
All right, yeah, you know this this happened, uh not
too long ago, I would assume, Okay, July twenty seventh.
This happened in a Seattle Tacoma airport. There was an
exchange between her and her her boyfriend, her her other
(19:18):
Christian Coleman, who is also a track track athlete as well,
uh and obtained from TMZ from the airport. There's surveillance
footage of the two being in an exchange, a heated exchange.
She she's nudging him, she's grabbing out on, grabbed his
(19:41):
book bag, pushed him up into the wall. I guess
the security that was there. They hit the officer up.
The officer came and they detained Shakari Richardson. Have you
guys seen the footage of the n that'd be my
first question to you guys, Yes you saw it? Plex
(20:05):
did you? Were you able to see it?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yes? I saw it?
Speaker 6 (20:08):
All right? So what is your what's your take on?
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Let's just start with let's just start with the idea
of if you're in public, because I mean, I'm you know,
we we we're all married. I mean and we've really
before marriage, we've we've had you know, girlfriends and stuff
that we travel with, you know, you do things with.
There have been heated discussions in public before they happened.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Do you think that.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
The physical aspect of it was so so egregious that
it required her being detained?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
No, okay, let's go there. Let's go there.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, what I saw was she's pushing, pushing, grabbing his backpack,
just kind of you know, man handling him a little bit.
Because he had his backpack on. He's walking away, just
trying to avoid it. He knows she's upset to get arrested.
I was just like wow, because I mean, what we
saw she she hadn't She didn't strike him in his
(21:08):
face and was punching on him in his face. I
didn't see any of that.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
She shoved him up against that wall kind of aggressively.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Yeah, but man, that woman weighs one hundred and twenty pounds.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
That's how you know she's strong.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
One hundred and twenty You do know that.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
That's how people approach situations when women are involved with
what you just said.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Just now, I'm just playing out there. I'm just playing both.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
You may be right, but she didn't punch him, and
Christian Coleman is not the biggest guy himself. I will
say that I don't feel like she should have been arrested,
but I'll say this, man, he showed a lot of
restraint a ton. He showed a lot of restraint and
just trying to walk away and not escalate the situation.
(21:55):
I'm just a fan of everybody keep your hands, see yourself.
And I'm glad he didn't respond and retaliate because then
it would have been a huge scene. He would have
been vilified. I just tell my daughter, we know this.
I got three daughters, two of them are grown. Please
don't put me in this situation because now I gotta
(22:17):
show you that I really am what I say I am.
Like I'm gonna show you that I really am what
I say I am. Don't put me in this situation.
And if somebody do that to levard daughters. And he
called me, he called me, somebody do it to your daughter,
PLEXI and you call if you call me, I'm approaching it.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Okay, he need me.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
So now I'm treating him like they I'm going in
and I'm gonna show people that I am who I
say I am. And so don't put me in that situation.
And it's just unfortunate. And the day and age of
everything is recorded. You know, TMZ gonna come with the footage.
It really is an unfortunate situation. But I didn't believe
(23:03):
she deserved to be arrested. It was just a lot
of pushing, a lot of pushing going on. But yes,
you are right, LeVar. If it was a man doing that,
it would have been outraged for pushing her like that.
But we live in a world of double standards.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
But yeah, you know I saw it. I didn't think
it was to the point where you know, she received
I believe, a fourth degree domestic assault. So I looked
it up and it says a fourth degree domestic violence
addresses conduct that may not leave a physical mark, but
(23:37):
is still considered harmful. So I'm saying to myself, who
came up with this charge that she got arrested? Did
Christian call the police and and and say that.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
He was assaulted? No, I didn't see any of that.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
So the officer, the officer handled it. So when they
when the officer handle it, that now becomes a legal thing.
It's legal. It's out of his hands and her hands.
Once they wants to security people. Because here's the thing
about the video. She just kept going like, if you're
going to have an exchange, I get it.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Have the exchange.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
The one thing I say, add add to this the
idea of there's no sound.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
I don't know how loud they were. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
How disruptive it was. And people at airports don't play
that type of mess.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
I don't play it. I know y'all don't play it.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Nobody plays that I don't want to see you screaming, fussing, fighting,
pushing somebody while I'm at the airport, Like you know,
that's just one of the wrong places to do it.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
So just keep that in mind.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
We don't know how loud this was, you know, because
when you beefing with somebody, it seems as though when
she reached for him, she was going for maybe his headphones,
and I think that that was in the report she
was trying to knock his headphone out. So basically, what
that says to me deductive reasoning. He was ignoring, you said,
(25:06):
like the control of it, TJ. He was ignoring what
she was saying. And what what do like, Hey, y'all
take this for what is worth. It's just me saying
what I'm saying. What do women do when they feel
like they're being ignored in that moment and they get
louder and they get they get more aggressive towards the situation.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
That's just what, right, Chris Chris Christian Coleman. He's dating her, Yep,
he knows her temperament, he knows how she is as
a person and a woman. Sure, so he probably felt
like if he did anything, but what he did, they
(25:48):
would have escalated.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
And it's still escalated. It's still escalated.
Speaker 9 (25:53):
Did you think it was airport too? Did you think
it was that mad? I didn't.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
I like Plex's explanation in the fourth degree or whatever
it was. I did not think it was that bad.
But what I do know is is that people have
gotten arrested for domestic situations for far less than that.
I do know that I've seen I've seen situations where
a person got taken from a bar one and one
time in particular, the person was taken away in cuffs from.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
A bar over a disagreement.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Like a woman talked to the guy the dudes, the dude's.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Girl didn't like what happened. She shoves him in the face.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
I mean straight mush, didn't punch him, didn't slap him,
but open hand much the man in his face right,
and he got arrested. He got put in cuffs and
got taken away. I've seen it with my other two eyes.
(26:57):
So while I'll say, like in theory, did she do
anything that required him to be arrested, I mean her
to be arrested.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
What matters is what was the interpretation of the onlookers
that were there that led to that taking place.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
God, you got the last word on it.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Plex Yeah, it doesn't matter how big she is, she's
one hundred pounds or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
But I do believe that this situation could have.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Got a lot, a lot worse if it wasn't in
the airport, because I believe that Christian is recognizing his surrounding,
said listen, I'm in the airport. I'm just going to
try to walk away from the situation and try to
de escalate what's happening to me right now and in
front of all these people. But if it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Happen in the airport, who knows what happened.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Maybe it's a nod story, maybe she pushes him and
he punches in the face of whatever the case may be.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
So I believe this whole.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Incident happening the airport is the only reason why this
is really made public, and that's the reason why everybody's.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
Talking about all right, Well, I hope they get the
help that they need or they just leave each other alone,
Like just leave y'all leave each other alone, because just
like if that was your daughter and and we get
upset about that we got sons too, and don't mess
around with my sons either. You know. I'm just I'm
on that too. I'm on that time with with don't don't.
(28:30):
Don't ruin the flow of my kids. Don't ruin that flow.
Like control yourself. If you got a problem with one
of them, walk away, walk away. They're taught to walk away.
You walk away as well, and let cooler heads prevail.
Be sensible about it. Understand there's always consequences and and
(28:50):
things that happen when you do things in haste and
in anger and emotion. It's just not sensible to do that.
So anyway, Okay, hey, we got through that. Let's get
through an update with Isaac Lowinkron and then we'll go
from there. What you got I Low.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
We've got an honest to goodness NFL preseason game going
on right now in Buffalo, where the New York Giants
lead the Bills three to zero nine seconds into the
second quarter. Russell Wilson made his Giants' debut, played one series,
completed six of seven passes for twenty eight yards, helping
lead the Giants to a field goal. The next end
of the game. For the Giants, rookie twenty fifth overall
(29:30):
draft pick Jackson Dard. He's completed three out of four
passes for sixteen yards. Bill's running back James Cook, who
had set out four straight practices due to a contract dispute,
surprisingly participated in pregame warmups in full uniform today, though
he is not playing in the game itself. Detroit Lions
safety Maurice Norris was in stable condition and had feeling
(29:51):
and movement in all his extremities after being injured in
last night's preseason game against the Falcons. He remained overnight
at a hospital in Atlanta for observation. Today, and Orris
posted on Instagram, quote, I'm all good man, don't stress it.
Appreciate all the check ins and love unquote and speaking
of Atlanta, one major League Baseball game going on right
(30:11):
now in Atlanta. The Braves and Miami Marlins scoreless in
the bottom of the second, LeVar appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Illo.

being a tie.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Uh Geno and Max Crosby had some interesting gestures for
the Seattle twelfth the Twelfth Guy, the twelfth Man. We're

so stay locked in, stay tuned in. This is up

out of here with the conversation of Geno Smith was
playing against his former team, rejuvenated his career in a
(32:20):
lot of ways and had the opportunity to go back
with his coach that coached them there and in Las
Vegas and is now the Las Vegas quarterback. Well, him
and Match Crosby were leaving the field, didn't like some
of the things that were being whispered to them, and
(32:41):
they shot the birds. And I ain't talking about clapping
or stuff you move on the streets. I'm talking about
them fingers on your hand, the middle one that goes
up when you're you know, hitting somebody with the I
salute you, you know what I mean. What's the wildest
thing y'a've ever done, you know, to a fan base
(33:01):
when they were heckling you or whispering sweet, nothing's to
you or whatever. I mean, I know there's one story
out there on TJ, but you know, there could have
been something wilder that he's done. What's the wildest thing
response that you've had to to a crowd being very
very uh, you know, disrespectful towards you will say, which,
(33:22):
what's you hear about me?
Speaker 9 (33:23):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (33:23):
When when you you know I'm from Pittsburgh, bro, you
know I'm always hold I'm gonna always hold.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
The tar you got? Who who's your mama? From US?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Pittsburghers, US, US yensers US for one tours? Because you
you was wiping your feet down with the terrible tow
that was like, that's.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Crazy, disrespectful.
Speaker 7 (33:45):
A Cincinnati Bengal wiping his cleats off after the game
with a terrible towel. That that to me, that that's
what I recall and I remember that's what's out there
on you. But there could have been something more contentious.
There could have been something more you know, like you know,
you had to deal with what you had to deal with,
and they went a little too far.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
You know, I like playing the Steelers because defensively, they
talked a lot, and I was like the only guy
on offense that talked a lot, like Chad would talk
a lot. But Chad talking was really just fun. He
didn't want no problems. He just wanted to have fun.
I was kind of with whatever, and so were the Steelers.
You know, Peasy, Mike, Taylor, Tyrone Carter, them dudes, they
(34:31):
just you know, it was like me going against all
them by myself, but I enjoyed it. I remember one
time we played the Steelers, another Steeler one and a
fan was just talking crazy trash to me, man, and
then we got kind of cool and he asked me
to give you some Gatorade. I literally got a cup
of Gatorade and walked it to.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Him, and then he asked for another one.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
I thought to myself, is he gonna throw this Gatorade
back in my face? And then I'm be so angry
I might have to jump into the crowd. And so
me and Buddy was going at it, and I ended
up giving him three cups Gator Ray, bro three Cupsicator Ray.
We were super cool. That was a good one, and
then the other one.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
What do you do with the other two.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
