Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. You know you can
argue it's the greatest event of the year because it
combines our two favorite things in this country. And now
we recap. We will have all of that for you
coming up here in just a couple of moments from now.
That guy right over there is Brady Quinn. I'm Jonas Knox.

(00:21):
This is Fox Sports Radio. You can hang out with
us on the I Heart Radio app. You can find
us on hundreds of Fox Sports Radio affiliates. But wherever
you are taking part in this program, we appreciate you
doing so. We will take you all the way up
until eleven PM Eastern time, eight o'clock Pacific. But never
mind me, and never mind all that, ladies and gentlemen.
He is the man you have tuned into here. He

(00:43):
is the guy that you yearn for. He is the
reason you make us a part of your Sunday nights,
every single Sunday night. And I believe he is the
top excuse given by people in Hollywood as to why
their ratings were such a disaster last week during the Oscars.
I present to you none other than my man Brady Quinn.

(01:05):
How about that. By the way, I mean that was
as bad of it Oscars as we have seen. I
know some people they think when we make these like
grand proclamations that like were lying to them. No, I
mean the Oscars and this is this is true, This
is factual. Steve di Seger will back me up on this, Jonas,
since you and I have been doing the show together
on Sunday nights, they have been in a steady decline. Okay,

(01:27):
bottom line, it's the truth. Try try to try to
try to say that's not true. Just try try to
find any data that says that's not true. I'm just saying, listen,
in the is when it comes to Sunday entertainment, just
imagine Sunday entertainment being inside and enclosed. Mall all right,
and and just imagine two escalators, one going up and

(01:48):
one going down. Well, on the escalator going up, it's
Jonas Knocks and Brady Quinn. And on the escalator going down,
it's that bag of craft the Oscars. Every year, and
we just somebody's got to point this out. And so
while while people are looking around for things to do
on a Sunday, they figured out over the last couple
of years they'd rather tune into us than to watch
that garbage. So yeah, and by the way, you know,

(02:10):
especially those who are enjoying their Sunday, they like to
have a little Sunday fun day, if you will. After
a few drinks, we sound even that much better. That's
that's the best part. Yeah, that's it's a beer muffs,
you know, just to put on the headphones and I
swear to god, we sound better once you have a
couple of drinks. By the way, um, I am uh look,

(02:30):
I'm sad to see the draft go. I love the
build up. I love the uh just the the the pageantry.
I love all of that that goes along with it.
It was wonderful to see it in Cleveland with fans.
Roger Goodell's chair was a little weird. I don't think
it was necessary. In fact, I think it was that
it just so that I don't get it, and I
really needn't get some random like armchair on the stage.

(02:54):
It was so stupid. It's like people tell like that's
the reward, Like, hey, what do you get for you know,
being fully vaccinated and going to the draft. You gotta
sit in Roger Goodell's chair. Neat, I got to use
this toothbrush too. What are we talking about here? Yeah,
it was very, very puzzling and a bad idea and
one that I don't think they should they should bring

(03:15):
back ever again. But nonetheless, the draft is concluded. Brady Quinn,
I thought Cleveland put on a hell of a job,
hell of a show, and it was great to see
the draft as it was supposed to be, with people interacting, celebrating, booing,
all of that with the one along with it. I
thought your former city, Cleveland, put on a good show

(03:36):
this past these past three days. Oh it's shown this.
I'm so happy to hear you say that, because you know,
earlier in the week you were making some some some
comments about the state of Ohio. What do you mean.
I don't think I can use that language on our
live radio show, but I'll put it this way. I
think you called it a crap hole. But but you
could substitute a little more profane word for crap if

(03:58):
we will. But that's how described the entire state of Ohio.
There were some other Ohio winds, all right that that
had a hard time reading that that screen grab. But
like once I sent to him, they said, okay, maybe
we take a little trip out to Gavin Newsom prison
of the state of California and have a talk with
this guy. Alright, alright, hold on, okay, let me let

(04:18):
me just go ahead and peel back the curtain here
a little bit, all right for people that want to know,
because I've had people who have who like the show,
who say it sounds like we're just like sitting around
watching two friends bust each other's balls. I'm not exaggerating
this one. I tell you there's not one compliment that's
ever given to one or the other except here on

(04:40):
the air out of pure sarcasm. Every every single voice note,
text message, any anything that is sent back and forth
is pure insult. It is NonStop. Before you go any further,
I do want you to educate people on a voice note.
I feel like it is. It is the future of communication,
and in regards to it's gonna do it. Do away

(05:02):
with voicemail. Tell me why you need to leave a
voicemail when you could leave a voice note. I agreed,
And then on top of it, I personally like doing
that a little bit better. And granted, now we grew
up through the air of like the next tail where
you're the chirp, and it was more of a radio,
so you can only speak and then you have to
wait for the other person to speak back. But there's
something about a voice note that's just more entertaining than

(05:23):
a text message, because I could hear the sarcasm, or
I can hear just how ticked off you are by
anything that we're talking about when we're sending messages back
and forth. I think more people should use voice notes. Yeah,
I totally agree. And if you grew up in the
eighties slash nineties, you grew up as a kid with
walkie talkies. You watch stranger things are playing with walkie

(05:43):
talk and kids are probably looking at it nowadays, going god,
what are those things? You guys are so archaic? Back
in the day, No, no, no no, no no no. When you
got your hands on a good walkie talkie and you
could talk to your buddy in the other room or
across the street, that was like a whole another world.
You felt like you were breaking through some sort of
military uh barrier and you were doing something illegal. And

(06:04):
that's basically what a voice note is. You hold your
thumb down, you fire off an insold and then you
send it done and it's just it's like the microwave
of cooking. It's just done, and right after you're done
listening to it, it just goes off into the bye bye.
It's gone. No one knows what happens to it. But
guess what, it's not saved anywhere on the cloud or

(06:27):
somewhere up in the cloud where however that works. Now
I do here is here's one thing that that should
be noted. And anybody with kids out there, um, you
can probably relate to this. If you have a friend
who doesn't have kids, who can't, who can't relate to
that lifestyle or that schedule. I was I was not
aware that you were listening to the early portion of

(06:47):
our voice note slash walkie talkie messages to each other
in front of your kids, because there several you know,
inflammatory remarks there that were profane, vulgar should be hearing.
But again, you now paying a newly minted father, You're
you're gonna have to learn these lessons, right, So you're
gonna have to understand that when your daughter's you know, four,

(07:10):
turning five, she wants to hang around dad all day
and if he's ever on his phone, she either wants
his phone or wants to see you what I'm talking
to or be a part of it. So when good
old uncle Jonas starts sending a voice note, you better
believe she wants to be a part of that action.
I mean, listen, if you okay, if you could go
back and you could offer up any piece of advice

(07:31):
on how to how to tweak something, how to improve
the NFL draft, because first of all, you got when
you got drafted, it was in New York, correct, They
still did the old school New York and all that stuff,
And you were waiting around and whatever, and and and
waiting to get your name called and all that, and
everybody was in the same room. If you could do
it all over again, if you knew the draft was
going to be in Cleveland, all right, what would you

(07:53):
let me? Let me present the question this way. If
you could do it all over again, would you have
just stayed home? Because the older I get, the more
a pre shape just staying home and being being around
people you want to hang out with and you want
to just have a beer with. After he gets elected,
do you mean pull a Caleb Farley and act like
you have a positive COVID test, then just in the
event that you happen to drop in the draft. I'm

(08:14):
just kidding. I'm just kidding. Who knows. Maybe it was
apparently was a false positive that he had, But I'm
more I'm more inclined to think that he didn't want
to be in Cleveland if he was the drop. You know,
he was getting nervous based on the reports, by the
way they over under of his draft position I believe
was twenty and a half at one point, he end
up going twenty two. Ironic enough, I went twenty two,

(08:37):
but um, it was interesting to kind of see how
that played out. If I could do it all over again,
I'd say this, tell people of this all the time.
I would still make the same decision. The only difference
is I would ensure that two days prior, my buddy Oz,
he's been who just cutting my hair for the longest time.
I would make sure that he wasn't hammered to the

(08:57):
point where he went m I A for the lie
thirty six hours in New York, and so he could Yeah,
he couldn't cut my hair before the draft. So I
go out there, there's ugly looking mop and and so
there's like a deeper story behind it. So I used
to grow out my hair and then Oz would would
cut it and then we'd send it in to to
be made for like for like wigs. Like Wigs for

(09:18):
Kids was actually an organization in Cleveland that I donated
to probably the last time I ended up doing that
up in Cleveland. And so I really didn't you know,
I don't like to advertise when you're like doing acts
of of goodwill and you just kind of, you know,
do your part right trying to help out. Why not though,
that's that's that's what everybody does. Now. Well, I also
keep my shirt on when I work out, you know,
I don't don't take it off and then film it,

(09:39):
film video. So um So the reality was is always
growing my hair out. Uh Oz was always gonna kind
of you know, cut off just enough to where like
we could still grow it out to donate for the
wig at some point in the future. Um. But but again,
because he was having such a good time in New York,
he couldn't find him, Like literally I couldn't find him.
And and the best was I had, um this trainer

(10:01):
I used to do a lot of cross training with boxing,
and he had come out to New York just to
work out during the week because it was a busy
week leading up to it, and so every morning I'd
get up like four five, we'd be into like the
fitness room, probably round five. We got done around sixty
five before we we go in different community service events
during that week. There's different marketing things going on. It's
actually a really really busy week. Uh, non COVID or

(10:23):
pre COVID for all those prospects. Well, oz And and
my my boxing coach were together and then they got
so hammered, like I didn't see him the next day.
I didn't see like we couldn't find any of them. Um,
But that's probably that's That's the only thing I would
have changed was I would have just had to say, Okay,
screw it, I'm just gonna cut my hair. And I

(10:44):
feel bad, but and then at that point I've grown
it out forever. But that was kind of the reasoning
behind the longer hair and the moppy look. As far
as how it looked, I had no idea that was
the story. But listen to you. You bring you bring
some friends. There are certain friends you can bring to
a big city and you've got nothing worry about. And
then others you bring to a big sy. We brought
the whole crew, by the way, I mean, it was

(11:05):
my extended family. Everyone else there. For some of my
family was the first and last time they'll ever be
in New York City. So for that reason alone, Like,
I know, people are like, oh, you dropped to the
draft from like, but no one knows if they're gonna
where they're gonna go. Like, you don't know how everything's
gonna turn out, So why why would you be disappointed
about it? You get to live out your childhood dream.

(11:25):
I ended up getting drafted by the team that I
grew up rooting for. So for me, you know, do
you wish you would have been drafted higher? Yeah, because
you would have made more money at that point. But
the reality is it's still turned out to be kind
of a story book. Yeah, storybook ending in the end,
even though everyone else was getting hammered out around me,
I think I was the only one who didn't really
that week, you know what, You know what I noticed

(11:47):
the first thing that struck me Jonah stocks Brady equitting
her Fox Sports Radio. First time I ever went to
a big city, I think it was Chicago. First time
I ever went to Chicago out on the West Coast
where I grew up. Last call was always at two am,
So they start, they start rounding up drinks at your tabs,
get the hell out. I never the look on our faces,
me and a group of buddies when we asked somebody, uh, yeah,

(12:09):
can I get one more before last call? And they
looked the bartender at this place in Chicago, I think
it might have been Level, remember the bar, but the
place level in Chicago on Russian Division, there was some
place called Level in Chicago is like a nightclub. And
I remember the guy looking at us and saying, dude,
we don't do last call to four? Where you guys from.
It was like, I mean, game changer, like did you

(12:30):
take your card? At that moment? He kind of looking
for life. Just listen, look I grew up, man, You
grew up in the mean streets at thousand Oaks, California. Man,
you're lucky you get out of there alive, all right
out there. You got to look after that four Yeah,
look at just whipping through your backyard, bouncing on the

(12:52):
streets thousand Oaks? Was a prop one? Was it a
callaway chrome saw? Was it? You know? You know what's funny.
It is like no one asked his opinion and he
still hopped on the air. It was hilarious, needed to laugh.
Look at Bobo's defense, he does have a great laugh,
So I always appreciate what he pops on a lot.

(13:13):
He does. He does. But let me go ahead, and
I'm just keeping score here. Insulted the King of crunshow
to open the show. All right, there we go, so
just keep him track here of the insults so far
in the show in the decade. Yeah, that's all right,
only takes one, you know that works, all right, Brady

You can hang out with us as always on the
my Heart Radio app. Coming up in we will call

(15:03):
it about ten minutes or so from now here on
Fox Sports Radio. We're going to get into some of
these quarterback moves in the draft. What do they mean?
Why were they made? All sorts of storylines coming out
of the NFL Draft this past weekend in Cleveland, and
also later on in the hour, we are going to
look back at our explosive and not so explosive top

(15:23):
and bottom ten mock drafts. See how we did. I
got a feeling this was one of the worst years
we've had combined. Yeah, my mine, Mine wasn't very good.
UM as far as getting them exactly right outside of uh,
some that were kind of obvious, but they were a
couple that were close were close. So so speaking of quarterbacks, UM,

(15:47):
the Aaron Rodgers situation with the Green Bay Packers is
taking all sorts of turns. So just a quick recap
for people that are and this is a quick summary, um,
for people that have that are not familiar or that
have been just so thralled with the just as scintillating
NBA action over the past three or four days. Uh.
Just for those of you that are unaware, here's what

(16:07):
has happened. Uh, Thursday, day of the draft, report comes
out that Aaron Rodgers is not happy with the Green
Bay Packers and that he does not want to go
back to the Green Bay Packers. UM. Later on, this
report says there's there's a riff between him and the
front office. It starts to come out that he was
not happy with the Jordan's Love pick and he was
not happy that George that they did not give him

(16:30):
notice that they were gonna be taking Jordan's Love and
that's where his unhappiness was. Then it comes out the
next day that he is, uh, he would retire if
he's if they don't trade him and move him, because
the rumblings were he wanted to go to San Francisco,
that the Broncos and the Raiders or teams that he
would be interested in. Uh. So the following day it

(16:50):
turns into will retire or I'll go be a host
at Jeopardy. Uh. Then it comes out Saturday morning that
he wants the general manager Brian Gooden conspired uh that
that he does not get along with him and wants
him out and has basically said a line in the sand,
me or him either the quarterback of the GM. And
then he goes to the Kentucky Derby. He doesn't want

(17:12):
to be interviewed on camera and asked questions about the Packers,
but he tells Mike Tarko that I love the Packer fans.
I love the fan base, the city, the franchise, all
of it. But yes, there is clearly an issue with
the front office and with the general manager. And that's
sort of where we're at now. Now, Matt Lafleur said,

(17:32):
of course we want him back. He's saying all the
right things because he's smart and realizes I need Aaron Rodgers.
Brian gooden Kunst played sort of aloof too well, I
haven't heard that he wants me fired, but regardless, we
have got a situation that has gotten very awkward, with
a lot of stuff out there, and Aaron Rodgers has
hinted at things before. He clearly wasn't thrilled with the

(17:54):
idea of drafting Jordan's love. But here we are, Brady Quinn,
and now you can sort of this bell whatever rumors
there are, and you can tell us what the hell
is happening with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. So I'd
first to start by saying this, how often do we
actually hear anything directly from Aaron Rodgers? Not often, pretty seldom.

(18:16):
So what's a little bit ironic about the whole deal
is you just ran through a list of reports and
things that have been said and talked about, yet really
none of it came from Aaron. So that that's the
surprising thing about all this is everyone wants to take
their little tea leaves away from things and you know,

(18:38):
pontificate or just throw you know, throw stuff, throw darts
at a dartboard and then I hope they hope they
hit a bull's eye. I hope something sticks right. I
hope they can be right. That's now. That's unfortunately the
day and age we're in with reporting anyway, Like so
many people, especially those who haven't made their name, want
to make their names, so they try to be first
to it and they'll just make up anything. But the

(19:01):
truth of the matter is he really hasn't said much
and the stuff that has become public has become public
out of largely speculation. Okay, So as far as the
Jordan Love pick and everything else, was he frustrated by it? Yeah?
I think there was a degree where he was probably
frustrated by it. But as we said that this whole

(19:22):
thing happened, he wouldn't have been frustrated by it if
they had merely built around him with every other pick
last year in the draft, and instead they did the
exact opposite. They didn't do anything to build out around him.
They took a running back in the second round that
barely you know, played last year. They took a tight
end or maybe two tight ends that you know, really

(19:44):
didn't help out Wolds and off the ball kind of
move around guy, and that was pretty much it. And
they really didn't do anything last year in the draft
to help him. So I think between that and free agency,
there was a concern of like, Okay, I'm in my
I still feel like I've got some really good football
in with me, and you're not doing anything to help me.
So then let's fast forward to this year. Tom Brady

(20:06):
goes to the Tampa Bay Bucks and he has a
collaborative let's say off season or build up to this season,
where they're signing guys like Rob Gronkowski who comes out
of retirement. They're signing Antonio Brown, who's got a checkered
history and could be considered controversial with some of the

(20:26):
off the field stuff going on. You know, they're signing
these guys and they're also you know, taking into account
his advice or what he thinks of things and how
that turn out. They want a Super Bowl, So I
think there's a lot of quarterbacks who are looking at
what Tom Brady did, going from a place that is
saying no, no, no no, no, we don't want your input,

(20:49):
and then going to a place that says, yeah, like
what do you need to be able to win? What
do you need to be successful? And watching it happen
like that, and they're saying, this is what I want,
and this is what I what I deserve, and the
and the truth of the matter is Aaron's right, Like
he's earned the right to be a part of those decisions,

(21:10):
whether it's the general manager or head coach asking his
advice on prospects, asking him to his advice on free agents,
helping them come together with what would help him be
most successful. Like I know, look, there's certain people who
you might sit there and say, well, well, they shouldn't
be in charge of making those decisions, like we talked
about with this with Deshaun Watson and then high Nikossario. Yeah,

(21:32):
I'm not saying that Deshaun Watson should be the ultimate
decision maker on whether or not they hired Nick Assario
or even a general manager for that point, but to
not get his advice on on what they're looking at doing,
or the players the type of players that bring in
during his time there, or Aaron Rodgers for that matter.
I mean that to me, it doesn't make sense that

(21:54):
that's where everything starts to fall apart. So I think
there's frustration from watching what happened this last year, not
only one on the field where he has an m
VP season, they get to the NFC Championship game, they
still don't have enough. They go into that and then
they they watched the Tampa Bay Bucks win the Super Bowl,
when that's how everything was handled with Tom Brady. So
now he's like, all right, you've got this guy who's

(22:16):
eventually going to take over, you know, build around me.
You know, give me an opportunity to go in there
and excel and exceed and and you know give me,
you know, let me be a part of some of this,
let me help. And they didn't do anything. I mean,
they took a third round pick and gave him a
Marie Rogers, who look, I love. I think it's a
great pick. I think if he's gonna be there and

(22:37):
play this year, you know, Amari Rodgers gonna touch the ball.
Bunch will be a big part of their past game.
Next to advance Adams, he'll take pressure off of Adams, uh,
you know, and they'll spread the football round and then
obviously Josh Meyers in the second round as an interior
offensive player. But in a draft that was as deep,
maybe even more, you know, deeper than last year as

(22:58):
far as wide receivers, they don't follow up with anything
like that's it. And so I just I think there's
a sense of frustration that he still wants to play,
he still wants to win, but he also wants to
be with an organization that's going to allow him to
have the chance to be a part of some of
those decisions. And so when you hear, okay, the Denver Broncos,

(23:20):
the Denver Broncos have already been through this before, right,
I mean basically, when when John Ellway recruited Peyton Manning,
he said, look, you come in here, we're gonna run
your offense. Will let you be a part of some
of the guys you bring in everything else you help, Right,
they go bring a guy like like Wes Welker. Um
you look at some of the pieces they brought on
that team. I mean that was all that was all

(23:41):
helped with the direction of a guy like Peyton Manning.
So they've done it before, so it makes natural sense
for him to look at that organization say well, yeah,
they're pretty built, like they've got a nice roster, they're
pretty stacked. It's not in the same confidence, so it
makes sense to send me somewhere like that. So, like,
if you start to connect the dots, I think some
of that stuff looks more realistic. I had heard something,

(24:04):
and I'm not gonna say it now because I know
we're up against it and we had a break, But
I had heard something over the course of the weekend.
Well let's tease it. Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying
that I'm gonna says. I had heard something and it
relates to how this draft worked out, the build up
to it, and how you know that Aaron Rodgers discussion
could be intertwined with it. Oh insured okay, so we

(24:25):
will get to that next year. He's Brady Quinn. I'm
Jonas Knox. This is Fox Sports Radio. But for all
the latest from around the world of sports. We check
in with the man who defends the Oscars and the
Academy more than anybody on sports radio. It's Steve to say.
He really do I everybody. Everybody gets a false label
on this show, Steve, that's yours, by the way, no

(24:47):
one has to believe it. You mentioned the Tampa Bay
and there was the Glazer family was in the news today,
the owners of the Tampa Bay Bucks because they own
fame Manchester United, the soccer team in England. They are
so hated as owners of that team that the fans,
some of Manchester United, actually invaded the field and the
game had to be postponed. Liverpool against Manchester United today.

(25:10):
They have hated them before the last couple of weeks,
but especially the last couple of weeks where the rich
owners said, hey, we're gonna start our own super league
and then the fans hated it because nobody could be relegated,
kicked out of the league in part. And finally they apologized, Yeah,
how about the rest of those teams that backed out
because their cowards, because they're gutless and they didn't want
to go through with it because they got a little

(25:30):
bit of pushback from their fans more than a little
hour frauds. See listen. All you gotta do is you
just have to know just the sliver of a certain

Brady Quinn here on Fox Sports Radio coming up in
We'll call it less than fifteen minutes from now here
on fs ARE, A tweet has been sent. A tweet
has been sent by none other than Live that Jesus.
Fresh off his big off screws prediction last week, he
had No mad Land winning Best Picture when he popped

(28:05):
up on the air last week, Brady Quinn and lo
and behold, No mad Land won Best Picture at the Oscars.
There's nothing this guy here. I don't even know if
it's a guy girl both. Who knows the odds on that?
By the way, I don't know. I'm not even I'm
not privy to that information. All I know is he
predicted the nomad. I think it was like even money.
No mad Lad was probably probably like a significant underdog.

(28:26):
I'm not mistaken. Oh yeah, I said, I thought it
was a significant favorite. I'm sure the laugh could help
us out with that one. They were mine. Thank you.
That's a favorite. Thank you a favorite. So thank you
that that paid off big time? Jonas, Is that what
you're saying that that, okay, you're gonna trust lead to
lap is the source. You're you're gonna trust him. He's
actually our most trusted source. He hasn't even he hasn't

(28:49):
even cleaned up his Mortal Kombat party yet. And it
was two weeks ago. Like that is true. The big
screens still out. They got beer bottles and cans laying
around the yard. It's awful him and cleaned up the screen.
And need to make sure get ruined by the by
the sprinklers. By the way, got up at five am.
You were still up at five amily, let's hit ourselves. Okay,
very at least you're honest about it. All right, So

(29:11):
I bet Jesus listening one last week, I don't know
to tell you. There you go, very good, very upbeating positive.
That's Brady Quinn's name here on Fox Sports Radio. Alright,
So before we we do all that um pay off
the teas here, there was something about the NFL draft
and a strategy to the draft that might have involved
Aaron Rodgers. You were saying before we went to break.

(29:32):
People are waiting, Brady, you can spill the beans here.
So do you did you like keep a close track
on the odds for who the number three pick was
going to be? Did you watch the movements throughout the
course of the two weeks leading up source? Of course?
So take me through who was the favorite to be
the number three overall pick? Mac Jones was the favorite
for majority uh leading up to the draft. About a
week or so, maybe two weeks before the draft, Justin

(29:55):
Fields popped in as a as a small favorite. But
then as as the draft got closer, mac Jones became
the favorite again. And then all of a sudden the
day of the draft, the odds shifted and Trey Lance
became the favorite to go number three. And so here's
the interesting thing about all that is, you don't need
a smoke screen. There's there's no need for a smoke

(30:17):
screen because we already knew who wanted to we're going
to be. And so if you're San Francisco, it doesn't
matter if everyone knew who you're going to take or not.
It only would potentially impact who they would then have
a chance of drafting. And so when you really think
about it. It's kind of odd, right, Like, they didn't
need to keep it a secret. And I also don't

(30:39):
think they were flip flopping over who they really wanted
to take. I think and this was told to me
by someone within the NFL, within league circles, as we
like to say, who is um like? And I don't
want you to give his name out, but just the story.
So the idea is this that after the season ended

(30:59):
and when Aaron Rodgers basically kind of aired out some
of his grievances and everything else, that people started kicking
the tires on this. And supposedly there was maybe an
agreement that when San Francisco trade up to number three,
the Packers were gonna be able to take that pick,
along with other draft compensation and potentially a player in

(31:22):
exchange for Aaron Rodgers. Now obviously that all fell apart,
and for a couple of reasons. Why you know, you
don't want to trade Aaron Rodgers in general when he's
a league m v P. I mean, that's just it's
it's it's a bad look for any organization, even if
you have his quarterback and waiting. Right like when we
watched this happened before with the Packers. The Packers basically

(31:44):
made it look like, well, you know Brett, you know
he he wants, he wants to keep playing, but we've
got Aaron Rodgers. We want to move on with Aaron.
Like they almost made it seem like like Brett was
the bad guy in all this. And that's almost how
the team's trying to kind of operating now with all this,
like they're letting it get nasty again. But I believe,
and this is what what I was told me by
some of the league circles, that there was a trade

(32:06):
on the table, and before the draft, the Packers backed out,
and so instead of that deal happening, they realized bad
look to trade the m v P. Bad look to
trade him to a team that we could very well
see in the NFC Championship game, even though you know,
the Packers without Aaron Rodgers aren't a team that's gonna win.

(32:27):
So it was a bad look all the way around,
all the way around for them, even though they will
get a ton of draft capital and exchange for Aaron
Rodgers that would essentially set them up for building around
Jordan's love. So that falls through, and then that leaves
San Francisco in this position where you're going, Okay, what
are we do now? Well, now you take a guy

(32:48):
at number three that may have the most upside when
you compare him to Mac Jondan justin Fields, even though
I still think Fields is more upside in my opinion.
But then you keep Jimmy Tree Jimmy G. You know,
you don't work out that trade because a New England's
not really a trade partner for you anymore. They just
took Mac Jones, which is a sense with the equivalent
of Jimmy G just cheaper and younger, and you need development.

(33:10):
You can't put trade lance in there right now. So
when you add it all up, it kind of sticks
like it kind of makes some sense as to how
this whole thing played out. And I think the news
of of Aaron being frustrated with the Packers coming out
right before the draft, I think it was almost to
reignite that kind of that that potential rumor trade roomor

(33:32):
and try to get that thing going again, but potentially
with another another team outside of San Francisco. All right,
So I'm glad you brought this up again. We were
clock guys here at Fox Sports Radio. We care about
the clock. We're up against it. We need to take
a break. Butt coming up next. There is an angle
to this that now that you look back on it,
the forty Niners decision, uh, the news of the Aaron

(33:53):
Rodgers uh not being happy with the packers and when
it came out it all sorts of stuff ties together. There.
There's more on this story, inside information on Aaron Rodgers
plus Live bet Jesus is going to hand out a winner.
This might be the best segment we've ever done in
the history of sports talk radio. And I'm and I'm
telling you, Brady, and I'm telling you it's next guys

(34:16):
going through a divorce. You gotta rub it in his face? Unreal,
Brady quinn Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. This is Kanye West? Right?
Did I get that right? No? But this is not
It's not Ko. This is not as things you you
know growing up in the main streets of Thousand Oaks. Yeah?

(34:36):
Is that for real? Though? They are? They are for
sure get a divorce? Is she keeping the West name?
I don't Does she ever really take it? Yes? She did?
You know, I have a thought on this. Who cares?
How about that? Is that is a standard go to Yeah,
how about that? Can I say that? With live bed?

(34:58):
Jesus decides to chime in and just tries to just,
you know, yeah, steal the show a little bright. Well,
never mind, listen, let's let's let's focus on the task
at hand. He's Brady Quinn, I'm Jonas Knoxis is Fox Sports. Rade.
All right, let me let me just go ahead. We we
we gotta keep things above belt here. I know you
like to steer us into the ditch from time to time.
I don't want to. I don't want to play those games. Well,
I bet Jesus will be appearing here momentarily, Brady Quinn.

(35:20):
We are going to look back at his mock draft
coming up a little over ten minutes from now top
the next hour here on Fox Sports Radio. But we
now must address the situation that we teased, and it
was the the Aaron Rodgers storyline. And to sort of
sum it up, if if I understood correctly, you had
hurt from somebody within the NFL, somebody that you trust.

(35:43):
That part of the strategy and maybe part of the
thinking going into the draft was that there was an
offer on the table between the Packers and the forty Niners,
and the day of the draft, the Packers pulled out
of it and said we're not interested in trading the
reigning m v P to San Francisco. That that's the

(36:03):
way that I understood this stuff. It wasn't the day
of the draft. It wasn't the day of the draft,
but at some point leading up to it, they decided
not to not to go through with it. And then
that was where you started to see more of this
stuff come out day of the draft with some other
teams who were potentially involved, and obviously there was interest
um whether those teams would have admitted or not, there

(36:25):
was interest from multiple teams who called and and obviously
Green Bays like, no, we're not trading this guy. You know,
we're not trading the league m VP. It's because it's
a no win situation for them. It's only Aaron wins
in that in that scenario, and that's where like they
don't want to be in that territory. Um. So here
here's why I buy. I buy that story, and I

(36:48):
buy why that and why it makes some sense to
me for a couple of reasons. Number One, on the
Aaron Rodgers front, the timing adds up because that this
stuff came out, he admitted, and it knowledge, Yeah, there's
an issue with the front office. So the fact that
this stuff came out might have been him being frustrated
that there was an offer on the table. It was
an offer that was going to bring them back a

(37:09):
bunch of picks and and and and a lot to
build towards from the future. Maybe he got the impression
that something was going to happen and they were going
to get a deal done, only to find out no,
the deal didn't get done and the Packers backed out
of it last minute, and that maybe piste him off,
and that's why the stuff started coming out of the
day of the draft, Like, look, Joe Horne comes out
and says, well, you know, I don't like that the

(37:30):
coverage was about Aaron Rodgers, not my son. Warren Mood
made some comments. But maybe Aaron Rodgers was under the
impression we were gonna have a deal done here and
then the Packers pulled out, So that that to me
makes some sense from that front. Here's why else it
makes sense. It's the whole handling of the forty niners
and the third pick was weird, and you alluded to

(37:50):
this there was no reason to have a smoke screen.
And I was asking this question throughout the weekend on
Fox Sports Radio. Why was Matt Jones's name ever even
mentioned or brought up in the conversation. I I just
I find it hard to believe that the forty Niners
made the deal with the Dolphins, got the number three pick,
and we're set on Mac Jones, only to see Trey

(38:13):
Lance at his second pro day and then all of
a sudden, Trey Lance changed their mind and they went
that direction. I just didn't buy it. It didn't nothing
added up to me and the and they knew who
was going one in two. As you pointed out, Lawrence
Trevor Lawrence has been going to the Jaguars since two
thousand ten. Al Right, that's not a surprise to anybody.
Zack Wilson going to the Jets. They're look, they're close

(38:35):
with Robert sala. I think they were tipped off as
to what the Jets were going to do at number two.
So this idea that Mac Jones name was even mentioned
or even brought up in the conversation, I don't think
he was ever part of this. I think it was
Aaron Rodgers or Trey Lance. That's who I think the
competition was down to a number three, and once the
Rogers deal fell through, that makes more sense to me

(38:57):
than what some of the other stuff we were hearing
about what they were doing at three. I buy it.
I buy the story. I think, I think, I think
you're I think you've got good information. And the only
caveat is, you know they had to keep Garoppolo because
you can't draft trade Lance and then thrust him in there.
I just I think this team in San fran is
built to win right now, and the only thing that
that is going to get in the way of that

(39:18):
is if you thrust the guy in there before he's ready.
And so I think Garoppolo is a starter. If he's healthy, great,
they know it as one full season being healthy, he
gets take him to a super Bowl. And by the way,
he's incentivized too. Now he knows that the runnings on
the wall for him. So what does he have to do.
He has to go out there and perform in order

(39:38):
to have a job after this. So either that there
there's someone's gonna trade for him, or if he got
released at some point, someone would pick him up and
sign into a good deal. So, uh, he's incentivized to
play well. And if he gets hurt like he's had
issues with then you put Lance in. You try to,
you know, take him, bring him along slowly, but you
put in some quarterback run game things he he can

(40:00):
really do and excel at, and you go from there.
But I think if they were to get rid of
Jimmy g it puts a lot of pressure on a
young man who has not played much football, whether that
you go back to high school or even the college days. Time.
What a segment? Can you believe? This? Jesus breaking news?

(40:22):
I mean, look at this. We'll trade him for your
buddy Jake. How about that, We'll trade Live at Jesus
for Live bet Ja. Yeah, here on Fox Sports Radio.
But now I know, I don't know what to do
because all of a sudden, the lights are out in
the studio. I can't see anything. So now we're I've
just so you know we're all on the up and
up here here at Fox Sports Radio. Here's the proof
of a piece of paper that's just fallen down to

(40:44):
my desk. It is tonight, on the second day of
May one that I Live bet Jesus proclaimed he picked
to be the Celtics plus three and a half against
the Blazers. How about that, Brady A little bit irish?

I'm here side by side with my man, Brady Quinn.
That's right, we're here. Great by the we're here together. Um,
you look great. You look fantastic. Thanks man, you look
you look better, but better than I thought you were
gonna look. I I announced with you. I thought you're

(42:55):
gonna look like a pile of hot garbage. I don't
know why I thought. You know, maybe because when when
I sell you a voice no earlier today, And if
you don't know what a voice that it is. Just
download the podcast, listen to the very first segment. But
when I sent you a voice Thoughe earlier, you seem
like you were distracted because you were catching back up.
I think you said you're rewatching the draft, so I
figured you were gonna look like hot garbage because you

(43:16):
were too busy going back over the three days of
the NFL Draft. Well, listen, some people are into certain things. Um,
you know, I'm into your more of a boxing UFC guy.
That's not really my speed. I'm more of a lot
of people know that about me though. Yeah I'm I'm
a I'm a And I know you are all over
the Ruise Ariola fight last night. What a fight, by
the way, Yeah, I believe like like who did you

(43:38):
have winning? Like? Who? Like? Well, I see, here's the thing.
I just like to sit back and enjoy it. You know,
I don't like to actually score it. I know some
people out there who like to do that and never
every once in a a while they're actually posted on Twitter
like live tweeted like anyone cares. It's like a bud
guess what they have judges who get paid for this.
Uh so, why don't you just sit it like everyone else.

(44:01):
But there are some people like to do that. I'm
just I'm not one of those guys. I'm not of
full disclosure. I grew up a boxing fan, die hard
boxing fan of my family. That's just what kind of
what we did boxing, and you loved it. You were
you were caviar and golf was your upbringing. I grew

(44:22):
up boxing, that's what the vi Hey, listen, it's a
strange upbringing. But I'm not here to judge, like that's
your thing, Like that's fine. Gated communities and caviar. I
don't know what to tell you. But being able to
see a boxing event last night and there were fans
in attendance, and man, it's it's so it just it

(44:45):
brought back just a rush of memories. And yes, you're right.
I did take a piece of mail that I was
going to be throwing away and I scored the fight,
all right, I'm good. I didn't put it on Twitter,
but I did score the fight night, Andy Ruiz winning
by about four or five points, So okay, well good
for you. By the way, Um, if I was in California, correct, yes, yeah,
uh we you know I have been live in Florida,

(45:05):
we've been living like that for a while. I know.
I know it was awakening for you to watch a
fight and see, you know, people in the stands and
all that. Oh yeah, I know, yeah that that's been
going on in other parts of the country for a
while now. So I'm sorry that you now just realized
that and you're like, oh, it kind of feels like
we're getting back normal. Some of us have actually already
been living that. Listen. Last week was the first time

(45:28):
I've sneezed in a year, and I didn't get tazed
right afterwards. So trust me, I listen, I tell me
about it. I listen. I know about your freedoms. I'm
well aware of it. I I get all of that stuff.
But nonetheless, um, you know, that's that's the fancy lifestyle
in Florida. We live a more harsher reality here in California,
you know. But again, who get We're next to each
other right now, so who cares. We're all in the

(45:49):
same place, right You and I are all in the
same place, all right, So it is accountability time here
on Fox Sports Radio. He is the ball Buster Supreme.
Brady Quinn uh big time boxing fan, but he happens
to know a little bit about the NFL. I don't
know if anybody noticed he did play in the NFL.
Brady Quinn, former first round draft pick. You are a

(46:09):
draft guru. You've seen all these players in college. And
we did a mock draft last week. We did a
top and we did a bottom and uh and we
did that last week and you did your top ten
and how did it go? Do you want to you
want to recap who you had in what spot? All right,
So we have a live studio band. This was not
tricky at all to try and get this music, uh

(46:31):
in the back from the guys. This was not a
difficult task at all during the break. Uh see, I
mean seemed pretty easy. But it turned like I had
explained it like multiple times. But never mind that we
we have a live studio band. Here. They are ready.
They have got their masks on because they are based
in California and they are not fully vaccinated yet. And
if they were, you know how, you know they'd posted
on social media. So here we go, Brady Quinn, We've got,

(46:55):
we've got. They go through each war room. Then you
see like fully vaccinated, like they made well, they're not
wearing masks, but they're fully vaccinated. Okay, thank you, thank
you for that. All right, so here we go live
studio band. Whenever you're ready, just go ahead, and and
then whatever you're ready, Yeah, whatever they are, and that

(47:21):
the stuff I asked for. Look at that when we
got here. All right, to go ahead, Brady Quinn. Okay,
So the top ten I got three exactly right, which look,
it was kind of easy to get those three right.
The rest there's some there, there's there's some asterix next
to it. I'll explain. Trevor Lawrence number one, Zack Wilson
number two, and then at number four, Kyle Pitts. So

(47:43):
those are the ones that got exactly right. Now, Waddle,
Jalen Waddle. He did go to the Dolphins, which I
did have. However, I had a trade in my top
ten mock draft. I had the Dolphins trading back to
nine and taking Waddle, and it was the Brown because
we traded up at six to take Mac Jones. So
technically I got the team player right, just in a

(48:06):
trade scenario. The other thing that I had that was
kind of interesting was two teams had flip flop the
players they've taken at Cincinnati. I had them taking Pennai
sew at five and staid they took Jamaar Chase, and
at seven I had Jamaar Chase going to Detroit Lions,
but obviously that was now worked out. Chase won first,
pas Seul went second, but they both went five and seven,

(48:27):
just different teams. Seven of my ten players that I
had my top ten all went in the top ten,
so uh, not not too shabby, not too bad in
that regard, that's usually what you're looking for. UM. The
biggest surprise was J. C. Horn to me, going at eight.
I had Rashawn Slater there, who went up going to
the Los Angeles Chargers um later on, but I didn't

(48:49):
think Horn could be a player that went off the
board early. I just didn't think he'd be the first
quarnerback taken. However, given the lineage his father had played
in the NFL, UM you know, obviously being a local
product coming from South Carolina kind of made some natural
sense for Matt Rule and the Carolina Panthers given his
defensive background and that kind of being a need for

(49:10):
them as well. I when the Broncos took Curtan, what
was the first thing you thought when the Broncos took
Patrick Certan, what what was that? Because I'll tell you
what my first thing I thought was, Oh, they're still
trying to work a deal with the Packers and they're
trying to entice them. I don't know if certain is
gonna play a single down for Denver this this, and
I think that you know, who knows if it's still
in the works. But that did cross my mind, especially

(49:34):
with all the talk leading up to, you know, the
first pick of the draft. It crossed my mind. You know,
look at the roster though too, and and just from
talking and I think I told you this. We could
talk about it in another segment. But I got the
chance to talk to a coach throughout the entire draft process.
Every day. He kept in touch, kind of talk to
me through how it works. And it was interesting to

(49:55):
hear how like most teams look at it and at
that point in the draft, because we're we're sitting there
say sing, Okay, maybe they're gonna try to trade him
to green Bay because green Bay needs a cornerback, they
need some help there, and then to get Aaron Rodgers
to Denver, that's part of the package. But other teams
will look and they'll say, who's the best highest graded
player we've got. Who's the highest graded player we have

(50:15):
on the board is at the cornerback. Okay, we're going
to the cornerback. Like I know, it sounds crazy to
people because they all think teams, you know, draft based
on needs, and they do at times, especially when it's
a quarterback. But a lot of times they're just taking
the highest graded player. It may surprise you, but even
if you don't think they need it, their whole goal
is we're gonna draft a guy to ensure that he

(50:37):
makes our roster. He's an impact player, Pro Bowl caliber player.
That's how you get your team better. Then we can
move on from someone else that's not playing at a
high of the level and we'll get some draft capital
back of return and we hope we hit on the
next guy. Like that's how they view this up. It's
pretty fascinating. Well wasn't that. Now There's there's a couple
of different examples of it, because that was when the
Eagles were making their run um which seems like years ago,

(50:59):
when they that Super Bowl. One of the things about
that was talked about his man, they just keep taking
defensive lineman. They just keep adding defensive lineman. And the
thought was, look, if it's the best player that's there,
regardless of what round, just keep adding like if that guy, yeah,
like forts as well too. And then and then you
have another example of when it didn't work out. That
was when Matt Millen was running the Detroit Lions and

(51:21):
they just kept taking wide receivers. Uh you know that
those didn't seem to work out all that well. But
I until they found a Hall of Famer. Yeah. Yeah,
and and he you know, is he still on bad
terms with the organization? Listen? Uh, the Detroit Lions are
the only franchise in sports who they're two best players

(51:42):
in the history of the franchise. They're on terrible terms
with Barry said. I don't know if Barry Sanders is
still that way, but definitely Calvin Johnson. Um. But I
just look, I saw what was happening with the Aaron
Rodgers stuff, and when Denver came up and they didn't
take a quarterback. And there's a lot of stuff that
we can say about, you know, justin fields and we'll

(52:02):
get into that later on. When they didn't take a quarterback,
that's just the the only my thought was, all right,
they either looked at it and said, he's so much
better than the next guy that's on the board, so
we may as well take him. And then I thought
Dallas is probably scrambling right now because Dad was assuming.
They assumed one of those guys are going to be there. Yeah,
I mean, that's obviously why they traded back, because they

(52:24):
were traded out of that spot because because that was
the assumption, that's that's who they thought they were gonna get.
So it was pretty fascinating to kind of see how
that all played out. But um, Dallas traded out of it.
And then actually even at eleven, so I happen to know,
you know something pretty well on the Giants organization, they
wanted Davante Smith. So as soon as Smith went off
the board at ten, they're like, nope, trading back. And

(52:45):
obviously it became an easy trade partner because you had
the Chicago Bears wanted to trade up to take Justin Fields,
who was falling at that point, so that was their
trade partner there to eleven, and they trade back to
So DeVonta Smith was coveted by both teams in the division. Yeah,
he was coveted that much, and and and it's it's crazy. Well, yeah,
obviously coveted by book the giant said. And Eagles obviously

(53:07):
not the Cowboys. Thatsly a need for them. But yeah,
that's interesting, all right, Brady Quinn Jonas Knox here on
Fox Sports Radio. By the way, our draft coverage on
Fox Sports Radio is all brought to you by net Suite.
You're still running your business on quick books more like
quicksand the bigger your company grows, the faster you sync
with outdated software. Right now, net Suite is offering a

(53:28):
one of a kind financing program that's special Financing at
NetSuite dot com slash Draft NetSuite dot com slash Draft.
All right, so you mentioned it, you alluded to a
Brady Quinn, We're going to take you inside a draft room.
I am fascinated by this. I've always wanted to do this.
I've loved the draft since I was a kid, and
I've always wondered what it's really like inside and what

(53:49):
the thought processes. And we're going to take you behind
the scenes and we'll have that for you next year
on fs are we are going to have another edition
of Headline or lie. If you've never heard the game before,
you can be a part of it. It is Radio
Gold is the top rated game show anywhere on sports
radio on a Sunday night, which is really saying something
because when you think of Sunday night sports radio, you

(54:10):
think of game shows. So it'll be yours here coming
up ten minutes from now on Fox Sports Radio eight
seven seven ninety nine on Foxes the phone number eight
seven seven six three six nine. Two participants, that's all
we're looking for. And Brady Quinn, do you have a
just a simple request from these two lucky contestants that
will get on the air here in about ten minutes

(54:30):
from now. Well, I ideally we'd like you to have
a nice drink in your hand, you know, on an
adult beverage, and we'd like you to go ahead and
just finish that one, move on to number two, maybe
number three, and then then then decided to call in.
You know, I have a couple of drinks and enjoy
for a little headline a lot. Do you could you
imagine if we ever drank and did the show, like
if we ever just got i mean mangled and did

(54:51):
the show together, what that would sound like? What a disaster,
we'd get fired an hour end. So yeah, easy. I
think we might make it. I don't know, maybe not,
but yes, be a terrible idea, an awful idea. Um
so again ten minutes from now headline or Lie eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine

(55:12):
nine six six three six nine headliner. Lie is yours
here on Fox Sports Radio. All right, So you you
mentioned this about talking with somebody about the process of
the draft and what teams go through, whether in the
war room or whatever you want to call it. Um,
whatever the hell the Rams had that mansion in Malibu

(55:33):
or whatever they put together the beach house. Everybody, everybody
does their thing a little bit different. I've always wanted
to be in a draft war room. I've always wanted
to I don't even I don't want to talk. I
don't want anybody give me any of the information or
asking my opinion on anything. I just want to sit
in the corner. I just want to have a drink
and I just want to watch. I just want to
see how everything is made. I think it's fascinating, and

(55:55):
you've actually got some inside information as far as how
the process works. This past week can when teams were
making selections with the draft in Cleveland. That's right, and
one of the things that I think, again, just going
back to what I said earlier, you have to understand this.
They have a board. They understand where their position is
at and then and what their needs are and what's available.

(56:15):
But they have their their top prospects rated, their overall prospects,
and they are largely going to take the best highest
graded guy now next to you know, next to those
rankings on their board, right, they'll have them divided by positions,
but they also have essentially they're they're ranking their score.
They're gonna have various things next to their name. They'll

(56:36):
be an M for medical, will see for character, whatever
the case may be. There. There could be other markings
or color codes to then determine whether or not, you know,
there's like if there's two players same position and there's
a medical concern, they're obviously gonna go with the guy,
you know who ends up having the higher score no
medical concern, or similar score no medical concern. And then

(56:57):
it gets kind of dicey when, for example, you see J. C. Horne,
Pats or Tango off the board. Now that Tennessee Titans
a draft at twenty two, and they're saying, man, we
like Caleb Farley, we had him great at just as
high as those guys, but there's a medical concern. Well,
it was still worth it for them to take him
there at twenty two, as opposed to a guy like
Tyson Campbell, who may have had a first round grade

(57:18):
for some people, but he wasn't great at quite as
high as Farley. Right, So that's kind of how this
process works. One of the things that was interesting to
me though, in talking to this coach was just how
collaborative this particular team was. You know, the general manager
obviously was in charge of all of it, but there's
a lot of moving parts. You know. At one point
in time in the draft, um, they basically spoke to

(57:40):
these guys about a specific player, you know, what do
you think? What do you think? And there was a
conversation about you know, that spot, but they're like, we
think we can get them a little bit later. Trade back,
trade back. There was four or five teams on the
on the on the phone who were either you know,
looking at trade up, trade back, whatever the case is.
So a lot of juggling going on, and so it

(58:02):
becomes really collaborative because you know, even though we get
to see these war rooms and they look calm and
all that, that's after the deal is done, dude. Like
most most of these teams, you know, they're only gonna
have you know, the first second throughout pick. They're gonna
have one each round, and so that's pretty much it.
But you start getting those mid late rounds where teams
have multiple sevens or sixes and fives and fours and

(58:23):
they want to start jumping around targeting certain players. You know,
that's where you get a lot more coaches are involved,
especially for guys that you know they're gonna be in
charge of developing. And so if they're gonna spend that
pick there or move back and hope he's still there,
you know, they've got to kind of talk through the
process of how good does this player? Will he still
be there? Just do you know someone else who really

(58:44):
likes them too? Like that whole conversation happens has asked
having quick so go ahead, no, no, gonna go ahead,
go ahead? No, so I was gonna say, it's it's
a very collaborative process. At the end of the day,
when when when everything when it all comes down to it,
they're gonna allow the board and the and the actual
prospect ranking to trump all. So even if a guy

(59:06):
comes up and says, I really like this guy, really
like this guy, and maybe you have a need for it,
they will still go with a different position. If he's
ranked higher, and if that's the high you know they've got.
This guy is the second round grade or wherever his
prospect ranking is. We're in the fourth, fifth round. Now,
they will still go with that guy, even if they
don't feel like they need them. Bucky Brooks told me

(59:26):
he was in one war room. I think, God, I
think it was Carolina. It might have been Carolina, might
have been Seattle, I forget, but he was in He
was in a war room, and he said that towards
the end of the draft, that's when they really start
to rely on area scouts toward because some of these
guys that are left on the board, maybe they're not
as familiar. And he says, there's it's not that there's
a competition, but the first day of you know, team drills,

(59:50):
when everybody gets together, the area scouts are really interested
because if they've talked the team into drafting a guy
or if they've they've picked their brand and said, hey,
go with a guy and he gets out there, and
Bucky has said, man that there was there was an
offensive lineman from Wisconsin that he was telling Carolina or Seattle,
whichever team it was, you gotta this is a guy.
I believe in him. I believe in him. He said

(01:00:11):
first practice they could tell it wasn't gonna work out.
And he said that the other area scouts were busting
his balls, like there's your guy over there, Uh, what's
going on with your guy? Like that? It's that is
really especially when you get later in the draft, everybody's
involved and everybody wants to know sort of sort of
what is going on. The trade calls. I think it's
the most fascinating part of it because like how long

(01:00:32):
advance are they putting these boards together, these draft boards, Like,
like how long does it take to put together gosh,
two to three hundred prospects based on however many draft
picks there are in a given draft. This with all
the information you're getting, this stuff has gonna take months
to be together. Yeah, And obviously that the scouts, the

(01:00:52):
front office, they all play a role that they're they're
they're preparing for that, right, they're gonna have that for
the draft. They're gonna have there for free agency, to
be quite honest with you, So they're gonna have all
that stuff going and then kind of what their needs are,
what the priorities are um and kind of tagging on
your your most recent foort, the area scout. That's one
of the reasons why coaches become so much more involved
than mid late because even though the area scout might

(01:01:14):
have you know, you know, a little nugget or whatever
they feel and all that, you know, that guy is
not gonna make the decision that the coach is gonna
play a big factory because he's the one that's gonna
be in charge of that player. Like those guys at
that point, there's something wrong. There's something off. Either it's
fundamental technical, it could be you know, it's a certain
medical character concerned that kind of thing. But guess what

(01:01:34):
that's gonna be that coaches issue. You know, even as
medical when he gave practice as much, that's his issue.
Character is samething his issue. So you know, that's why
those guys become so much more involved in mid lay
rounds because they need them to be good with whatever
that pick that is, um, But as far as the
trades go, that's what's interesting to me. And obviously I
didn't get you know, the the information as to you know,

(01:01:55):
you take the best deal you can, but you also
have the factor in like how far do we want
to back and still be able to get this player.
You know, there was a video of it was the
Philadelphia Eagles warm room and Howie Rosemand is going around
fist bump and everyone and I think it's it's a
Tony Donahue or Tom donna Hue. He's the head of
the Eagles, um uh what is it director of player

(01:02:18):
Personnels or something like that, and you know it was
he could see he didn't want a fist bump Howie
Roseman because he was frustrated, like they lost out on
a player that he had targeted and he was frustrated
about it. And that stuff happens. You do a lot
of work, you spend a lot of time preparing for
these guys. You start to fall in love with some
of these players, and then you see someone else take him.

(01:02:38):
You know, there was there was one prospect that in
talking with his coach, he was like, man, don't say this,
you know, don't say this, don't ever say this to anyone.
He's like, I love this guy. I hope he's around,
you know, at some point mid lay rounds and when
we're texting back and forth and literally they're they're they're, um,
they're picking two picks later, and sure enough, the guy
goes off the board. I just text him, was like sorry, man,

(01:03:02):
and it was it was a scenario where they moved back,
so you know, at that point it is what it is.
But I knew how badly he wanted them. Um, you know,
I I knew, like you know that it was a
it was a position I think they probably could have
used too. But that's that's the crazy thing about it
is you can prepare as much as you want. Once
you get to those mid late rounds, you don't know

(01:03:24):
what the rest of the teams are gonna do, so
you kind of have to be able to operate on
the fly and have a plan for the chaos that
ensues once you get past those first couple of rounds.
And now you've got to get me in a draft
war room. You gotta pull some strings, man, you know, people,
you have to get baccented first, apparently. Okay, well can
I can I get I didn't want to say that
on the air. Somebody will get offended. Uh, someone's always offended. Well,

(01:03:48):
I was gonna I was gonna say, you know, if
they were making fake ideas back in the day, I mean,
anything is possible. I'm just saying, you know, like you know,
at some point that's gonna pop up and there's gonna
be a scandal that somebody's got a fake vaccination card.
Just telling you that's gonna happen at some point or another,
that that stuff is going to go down because people
are always going to try and circumvent the system. You've
got to pull some strings, and you've got to find

(01:04:08):
me a war room that I can get into. A right,
I'm not gonna all clean, all clean up after everybody.
I'll wait table. I've got one for you right now. Literally,
I can get you in Cleveland, Okay, the Cleveland Browns
war room. I can get you in Okay, when they
do a draft day two with Kevin Costner, all right,
when they come up the second, I'll get you in

(01:04:28):
that war room. Thank thank you for taking me serious man,

Does have the Celtics plus three and a half, so
this is going to go down to the wire. Brady Quinn,
what's the score again? I'm sorry I kind of blanked
out there for a minute, Steve. It's down to four now,
Portland by four, four minutes to the wire. Down to
the wire, man, I'm just glad I'm not live at Jesus.
This is the three pointer. The good news, all right,

(01:08:33):
about three and a half ago. Still plenty of time,
a thought, Jonas, Still plenty of time. Why do you
guys get such enjoyment? You guys just love the enjoyment,
like getting enjoyment out of the misery of others if
they keeps giving this segment. There's a lot of people
that depend on Live at Jesus for financial purposes and others,
and that's probably that's actually okay, two things on that.

(01:08:54):
If they're depending on him, all right for any sort
of financial reward, that's a worse decision than how they
even got to the point where financially they need to
depend on Live ve jes Well, it may be an
innocent child that's depending on this. Keep in mind, yeah,
to say innocent child. We don't need it, we don't

(01:09:15):
need to continue. Just some families might be affected by
certain people following Live Let me tell you something, all right,
let me tell you something. If if some kid can't
get a meal tonight because his degenerate father took a
gambling advice from a fictional character on sports radio, then
that guy's a loser, okay, And and and Live bed

(01:09:37):
Jesus should not be held responsible for that guy's actions.
That's terrible parenting and that's his problem and his problem alone.
Preach it. Yeah, all right, right now, though it is
time for something we do on the show, and it's
called this. Is it a headline or use it a lie?
Let's go to the news desk. No, here's Jonas, not

(01:10:00):
Brady Quinn. And here we go headline or lie here
on the Fox Sports Radio and we're going to meet
our participants here and we will explain the rules as
soon as we find out who wants to be a
part of the program. And we will start in Mississippi
where Rob is listening here on Fox Sports Radio. Rob,
what's happening? Hey, what's going on? Guys? Uh? You tell

(01:10:23):
us Rob, what's going on in Mississippi? Having a couple
of cocktails or what that's about? It? Cook? Monday off?
So basic, another Saturday to you? Good to you. Now
what are we drinking? What are you got going on there?
You were drinking some hard booze. We drinking beer moonshine,
but we got I got a mellow light and uh
and and uh following up with fireball with a fireball chaser.

(01:10:50):
That's brilliant. All right, So you can team up with
Brady Quinner, you can team up with me, Rob, who
do you want to go with? I'm gonna go with
Brady because I'm a dummer. Let's do it, man, Let's
do it because he's a what because you're leave that alone.
All right. Let's go to a Chuck who's in Kansas
here on Fox Sports Radio. Chuck, what's happening? What's going on? Fellas?

(01:11:15):
You tell me? What are you drinking? Chuck? I got
a lot of bud Select in my system. But all right,
there we go. This is gonna be a wild one,
all right. So Chuck, you're gonna team up with me? Okay?
With that? I'm fine. I was going for Reddy Quint
with my sheets from like two thousand twelve. But I'll
thank you. That's all right, man, is all right? But

(01:11:39):
not a bad way to go, all right, So here
we go. This is how it works. We're going to
read a headline to each other's partner. You have to
tell us if it's an actual headline or if it's
a lie. If we are tied at the end of these,
we will have a tie breaker over time situation, and
we will explain the rules when we get to that point.
So let's get things started, and we will start. I
will start with Brady's partner, Rob and Mississippi Rob headline

(01:12:02):
or lie. Caitlin Jenner says trans girls shouldn't compete in
female sports. Well, that's a lot stood down. He's already
sitting down. I never understand why you say that. It's
the dumbest thing you said. Lot going on with that
headline there? You know? Yeah, I'm not even gonna touch that.

(01:12:25):
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think Pobo canceled a couple
of minds. I had to redo this on the plot?
Yeah yeah, I heard some of yours that got canceled,
trust me. Well, okay, here we go, all right, Chuck
headline or lie woman glues eyes shut after mistaking nail
glue for eyedrops. Oh man, we're gonna go with that's true.

(01:12:51):
What about headline? Is that in your Does that work
for you? Headline or headline? Who's the chatties the guy?
It's headline or lie? Not? True? False? Man? Yeah, I
think we get the concept. All right, So here we go.
It is a a one nothing lead for myself and Chuck.
Now Brady's partner, Rob is on the clock. Rob headline

(01:13:13):
or lie. A Fort Lauderdale man was asked to leave
a local beach earlier today for mixing irish whiskey and
anabolic steroids in front of other patrons. Headline goes, crap,
I mean it is. I think the dead give it
was for a lat of Dale Beach. You know that's

(01:13:35):
very possible at that beach. Alright, can we get a ball?
Not epos? What's wrong with you? Who cares? Anyway? Um?
There we go, Chuck Headline or Lie race dog test
positive for meth, trainer disqualified. Oh man, Um that's the headline, Yeah,

(01:13:58):
my man, and we are on fire. Yes, you gotta
you gotta, you gotta have this one, man, You've gotta
have the squad. By the way, talk about a commitment
to winning. Huh? Like you like, like how do you
inject it that dog with like you put matt anthetamans,
You cook it up in a spoon and sprinkling in
his kibbles and bits and then you just let him
like take off to the track. About it? I feel
so bad for those All those things are like cracked out.

(01:14:21):
Come on, man, that's that's a hell of a ride
while you're alive though. Just think about it all right?
Are we go to Rob in Mississippi? Here Brady Quinn's partner,
Rob Headline or Lie. Disneyland guests cry as park reopens
after year long closure. Lie, Oh my god, unbelievable. Are

(01:14:50):
we gonna clean sweep here? Come on, this is gonna
be the worst l I've ever taken. Chuck. If you
get this for everybody, it is over. It is over.
If you get this right here we go headline or
lie Nurse broadcast butt injection during zoom courthouse hearing. Um, um,

(01:15:12):
that's the headline. I gotta go aheadline all right, you
chucking Kansas big time, baby, And there it is a
clean for That's the first time I've ever had a
sweep in. This guy's the first time you've had a sweep.
That's the worst beating I've ever taken. That's that's incredible.
But maybe that's a good sign for the Celtics by
the way, you know, maybe maybe not, Yeah, maybe not,

(01:15:35):
but listen that that's whoa Okay, we had to get
off the phone out, so we appreciate it, Chuck and Rob.
I would probably tell Rob to skip the fireball Chasers.
Maybe that was the bad move heading into the game
and taking taking a random Monday off in May so
that you could play headline or lie though that's listen,
we we appreciate the commitment here, so good. Yeah, and

(01:15:59):
and by the way, let's go live to our I
know what days people drink on the calendar inside or
lead to lap for the latest league. Surprising he didn't
take Sinco to mile Off on Wednesday? How about that?
Look at Lee pointing out all the drinking holidays coming up?
Huh yeah, I was gonna say, is is that that's
gonna be? It's gonna be a pretty big deal, right. Listen,
Mexicans don't celebrate Sinco to Mao because it's September six

(01:16:23):
is Independence Day from Mexico. It's it's basically what Americans do.
It's their excuse to go out and drink on a
week night. That's all it is. So that that still
begs the question is Lee going to go out and
get mangled? Amateur date, amateur night? No, thank you, a
get out of here. Come only Tommy to have the day?

(01:16:44):
Tommy too good for everyone? Man? What do you drink
with your pinky up? To? Lee? I just I just
want to say this. I'm not I'm not into name calling,
and I don't want to play that game on the air.
I just want to say this for the people that
went to Disneyland and cried because reopened, You're the biggest
loser I've ever met in my life. Disney World, Disney

(01:17:06):
Oh my god, oh my, like breaking down into tears
as an adult because Disneyland reopened. What a loser. You
are a loser. And I hope one of you heard
this right now, and I hope you're mad at the
radio right now because you are a loser and you suck.
How about that crying because Disneyland reopened. But that, Brady Quinn,
I'm talking, And that's Disney World has been. And that's

(01:17:31):
the kind of draft recap conversation that was necessary here
on Sports Stock Radio. All right, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocks
Here on fs ARE the Celtics are down by three.
Al right, coming up next, Um, what the hell was
one team thinking near the top of the NFL Draft.
It's very puzzling. We will have the answer for you
next on FSR. He's Brady Quinn, I'm Jonas Knocks. This

(01:17:54):
is Fox Sports Radio. Coming up. We will get to
a top of next hour. Ten minutes from now, Brady Quinn,
We're gonna take a look back at my mock draft,
my bottom ten of the entire draft. I don't know
if it's my worst performance ever, but it's pretty close. Uh.
In fact, I'm starting to think that it is absolutely
brutal performance by me. I mean I don't know that
it was brutal. I just think you and you admitted this.

(01:18:16):
There's a few guys you're like, I think they're gonna
taken get taken a lot sooner than than where I've
got him taking it, and that actually that had actually
ended up happening. Yeah, yeah, by about a hundred and
fifty picks. That now, it's not as bad as when
I picked somebody to go in the seventh round they
ended up being a first round pick. It's not it's
not that bad, but it's pretty bad. So we will
have that. You weren't serious with the Trevor Lawrence one.

(01:18:39):
I mean that was that was more you know, tongue
in cheek, kind of just giggling. Right, Yeah, you're just
playing a little brad bass, you know, having some fun.
You know, you have eat book one there too. I
don't want to talk about it. I told you. I
told you that too. I said he's gonna go a
lot higher than anyone realizes because of his skill set everything.
I talked to a couple of teams that had him
gritted a lot higher than everyone else on the outside. Well, listen,

(01:19:00):
we will discover how far off I was wrong with
ian book. And speaking of Discover, Discover matches all the

Report limitations apply. All right, you want to do a
little role play here. All right, you're Joe burrows Knee. Alright,

(01:19:25):
so pretend you're Joe burrows Knee and with Pine's stool
on the board, the Cincinnati Bengals take a wide receiver.
How do you feel about that, Joe burrows Knee, that
the Bengals went and took a wide receiver. And since
probably like the people who got really emotional about Disneyland
opening up, I mean, I would imagine it feels but

(01:19:48):
instead of tears of joy, maybe tears of sadness. Um
that that being said, That being said, I didn't necessarily
hate it. And for this reason, you know, as much
as you want to act like well, getting soul will
help cure all their protection issues. I don't know that
it would. Um. And the other thing is this does

(01:20:09):
give you another reliable target to throw too, so hopefully
you're getting the ball out of your hand quicker and
then not necessarily having to hold onto it longer. So
that would be, uh, that would be my way of
trying to protect that pick. But yeah, I mean the
reality is they did draft Um. Later on, I thought
that they have from Jackson Carmen and so he'll be

(01:20:30):
he'll be the right tackle, and then the left tackle
will stage Na Williams, and you know that the interior guys,
you know, well, we'll see what they end up, you know,
coming up with. But they did draft some other offensive
line that could eventually end up either you know, being starters,
adding depth. Um, But they didn't draft three offensive line
in the strap, just not quite as high. Okay, So

(01:20:50):
let me and I just want to throw this. Let
me throw something at you. Let me throw something at
You're Joe Burrow's knee. And it's the fifth round and
instead of taking an offensive line because at this point
in the draft, okay, you've taken two alright, once at
once for sure, started the other one not so much.

(01:21:11):
But fifth round, right, and instead you take a kicker. Okay,
how are you feeling as Joe Burrows knee watching a kick? Okay? Now,
if I'm not mistaken, the Bengals um didn't Randy Bullock
miss a kick or something, or he couldn't he couldn't
convert on a kick against the Chargers or one of
those games East year. Alright, so so maybe you know,

(01:21:34):
if I was Joe Burrows knee, I look at that
situation and I go, you know, I mean, it would
have been nice to have an extra win last season
so that I can maybe kind of justify a little
bit there, you know. I mean, look, they're the Panthers
took a long snapper. I mean, like, you know, seven round.
I mean, well, listen, you know what, it doesn't matter

(01:21:54):
you're my first round pick. How about that? You know,
there's a lot of losers out there that like to
grade the draft. They like to tell you who did what,
how they performed, what it means, how it's gonna look
moving forward. And then there's some people who just flat
out say I butchered this one. And that's somebody is me,
And I've got the proof coming up here in just
a couple of moments, from now. That guy's Brady Quinn.

(01:22:16):
I'm Jonas Knox. This is Fox Sports Radio. You can
hang out with us. Is always on the I Heart
Radio app and on every single one of our Fox
Sports Radio affiliates. Wherever you are taking part in the program,
we appreciate you spending a few minutes on a Sunday
night here on Fox Sports Radio. And if you're listening
to the podcast right now, I don't know what day
it is of the week for you or what time

(01:22:38):
it is, but we appreciate you doing that so as well.
So Brady Quinn and I will take you all the
way up for another hour here on FS are and
ladies and gentlemen, let me step aside and just welcome
in the man himself, none other than Brandon f and Quinn.
That's right, Jonas, thank you for the warm introduction. I
also feel like it's fitting that we should recap portions

(01:22:58):
of the show. I got absolutely swept, like the Karate Kid,
all right, sweep the leg it was over before it
even started. The headline or lie live bed Jesus that game?
Is that game ended? Is that game official yet? Oh?
I don't know, I don't know. I wasn't did it?
He didn't mad on that think Celtics plus three and

(01:23:19):
a half? Right, Yeah, there was a lot that went
on with the Celtics in the last two minutes. Marcus
mart got kicked out to other guys, starters limped off
in the last minute, and they wound up losing by ten.
Then you know what, I think the fair thing to
do is to cancel the bet altogether. Okay, we're already
down six when stuff started to happen. Yeah, but but
if not for that, they only would have been down

(01:23:40):
by three. So I think the fair thing to do
is to cancel the bet. Not against him. I think, um,
that little kid that's gonna be impacted by that betting
advice that you gave out as we discussed earlier, I
think you should apologize. I think on on live National radio,
you should apologize to that little kid. I listen, I
don't think this necessary. Look, I have nothing to do

(01:24:02):
with these bets. Disney, maybe you could give him like
a guest patch, some Disney lamp. Listen. I have. All
I do is read what's on a piece of paper.
I have nothing to do with any of this stuff.
I'm simply out here just trying to give out information
that is handed to me. That's it, Like, don't kill
the messenger. It's not always the appropriate thing to do
here on Fox Sports Radio. UM, let me, did you

(01:24:23):
happen to hear Brady Quinn as we've been talking about
the draft? It's been a draft drafted by the way,
if you if you tune into the show, just for
those new listeners out there, if you turned in for
Brady Quinn and I to break down the NBA, you
can go ahead and tune right on out because this
is a draft weekend show here at Fox Sports Radio.
Did you happen to hear the conversation? And we we
mentioned this um between Matt Rule, the Panthers head coach,

(01:24:47):
and Alabama long snapper Thomas Fletcher, who was drafted long
snapper drafted. Um, there was a conversation recorded and here's
how it went. When Fletcher found out that he was
going to be draft did to the NFL as a
long snapper, Hey, flesh up, what's up brother? You're coming
or what? Uh? Trying to figure it out right now? No? No,

(01:25:08):
no, no no, I just drafted you coming? Or what are
you kidding? Bro? No? You did not yeah, welcome to you. Yeah, man,
welcome to Carolina Panthers. Dude, chill out, brod I cannot
wait to help you win. Man, I cannot wait to
help you win. I love it. I love it. Well. Here,
thank you, brother, thank you. Here's blessure you could be

(01:25:32):
good to Carolina. Dude, let's go. Are you kidding me?
I'm already. I will walk my happy as to Carolina
right now. Dude, you're walking. If you want me to,
don't call my hands and knees, bro, I'll get you
an escort here. Okay, yeah, read dude, thank you, thank you,

(01:25:54):
thank you. You're welcome. You welcome, you welcome. How about
that you don't want? Man? Apparently you couldn't find the
tape of Steve Kim and Zaving Collins. You don't you
don't want to play that one? Why? What was great
about that? Uh? It was pretty flipping awesome talking about
if they're gonna kill everybody? Oh oh oh yeah, okay

(01:26:14):
I saw like, okay, yeah I did see. Yeah. Yeah.
Do you want to talk about a long snapper? Let
me just let me talk about something the very beginning
of that. So do you do you notice how there
was confusion when Matt Rule was asking him like, are
you coming or what because he's trying to figure out
who we wanted to sign with. Because so, yeah, but
what happens is in the seventh round, a lot of

(01:26:36):
players or agents they would actually rather you be a
free agent, and then you have your pick from a
number of teams, and so not only can you negotiate
in some guarantees to that actual contract, because there's not
in a in a seventh round with a rookie um
draft salary pool is slated like it is, there's no

(01:26:56):
guarantees to it. So you can actually ne oociate the
terms as an undrafted free agent where you can get
in some guarantees and a signing bonus that's gonna be
equal to, if not better than, what you get from
a seventh round pick, and you have your pickup team.
So even though that team drafts him the seventh round,
which he's gonna make the rosters a long snap if
they draft him. But let's see it was a cornerback,

(01:27:19):
he might say, well, I'd rather be a free agent
so I can pick from a number of teams. So
that's why, like when the seventh rounds going on, a
lot of guys will be they're probably won't pick up
their phone. They'll be like, maybe they won't draft me
if I don't pick it up, because I'd rather have
my pick later on. There's there's a lot of moving
parts in the seventh round. Man, I'd want to get drafted, though,

(01:27:41):
I just just have your name called and on the
screen like they're just you can't like you never get
that back, Like if I was in that spot, I'd
rather get drafted personally. No, well, especially if you're a
long snapper, which is probably the position you most relate
to so well, except for the long part, may you
do the shorts? That the only for the door knob

(01:28:06):
knocks over here? What do you mean, quinn uh? That
you mentioned the conversation and the phone call for Zaven Collins,
the linebackerund of Tulsa. Here's how that sounded with the
Arizona Cardinals. Hello, Steve, come ste how's it going? Good man?

(01:28:28):
You got some dogs in the background. What do you
got going on there? How it stop? I didn't tell
you I was picking yet, Man, Tell him to calm
down a little bit. Oh my god, Oh are you
ready to roll? Steve? We're gonna everyone we're gonna everyone.

(01:28:57):
I like it. I like it, man, keep that mentality,
and we're going to get a Super Bowl ring so
big on our on our fingers show dog wouldn't be
able to jump over. I love it, man, I love it.
We'll good, We'll keep that attitude, keep that chip on
your shoulder. So I'm gonna allow you to enjoy the
time with your family. Man lunch. Talk to Michael Bidwaar

(01:29:20):
owner and coach Kingsbury as well. That's awesome. And by
the way, that's what it sounds like to get drafted, right,
not this long snapper stuff. That's a that's a defensive player.
That's their mentality. That's what I love about the NFL
is those guys. And if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty

(01:29:40):
sure it's the Uh gosh, what team was it. I
saw the draft drafted to they refer to the the
defensive side of the balls. That oh no, it was
the Bucks. The Bucks refer to their side of the
balls the graveyard. That's where that's where body is gonna die.
I mean, that's that's just the mentality of these players.
But you you hear it right away and you're like,
that's the difference between him and a long snapper. But

(01:30:01):
we did miss the other portion of that phone call
between Davon cow Collins and Steve Kim, in which he
asked him, is it true you got a d U
I a couple of years ago? So I don't know
if you heard. Yeah, I don't. I don't think he
was interviewing Steve Kim at that point. You don't know.
You don't think he asked that question. They put Bidwell
on the phone, So, hey, the guy just talked to you,
got a deuce right? Like he I think I thought

(01:30:26):
when he got on the phone, was like, hey, you're
in Tulsa, right, We're gonna come get you with the
jet tomorrow. Listen, there's nothing wrong with being a long snapper.
Why don't you stop being a bully? Stop bullying? Those
guys are very important and crucial to a team, all right.
That that's actually so. I never have an issue with
the team drafting and long snapper kicker pont Or in
the seventh because again, you don't want to get a

(01:30:47):
bidding worth other teams over that guy's services if you
really like them anywhere before that, I hate it, like
like the McPherson picked by the Bengals. Who was the
who is the guy from Florida State that got drafted
by the bu Bucks in the second round? Yes, Roberto,
that didn't work out too well. No, I mean, in

(01:31:09):
all seriousness, like, I know Sebastian Janikowski is a legend,
but come on, like you couldn't have taken him later
on the draft, Like I never I never understand the
infactuation with the team wanting to take a kicker, especially
a kicker for this reason. The majority, if you're playing
the stats, they're not gonna work out. It's a low hit, right,

(01:31:31):
They need to kind of earn it. So why not
make to come in and then kick off to see
who's gonna be your guy throughout the course of the
off season heading into the regular season. And even then
he might not do well during the season, you might
have to find another one. So I've never been a
proponent of of drafting a kicker. And and let me
just defend Lane Kiffin here. When Lane Kiffin sent Sebastian

(01:31:52):
Janikowski out to attempt an eight yard field goal when
he was coaching the Raiders, all right, he got buried
for that, all right. Now, first of all, the fact
that he did it was awesome. Janikowski didn't even come close.
If there was somebody that could hit that kick, it
would be Janikowski and he didn't even come close. But
it's like Lane Kiffin got buried for it. I asked you,
what's more egregious sending your kicker out there to try

(01:32:12):
an eight yard or or drafting a kicker in the
first round. And if I'm not mistaken, they took him
in like the teens. I think he was like the
seventeen pick overall. So let me just defend our guy,
Joey Freshwater Lane Kiffin, who got his ball's broken because
he sent that guy out to attempt an eight yard
field goal and that toilet bowl that still had a
baseball field on it at that time during the season
to attempt an eight yarder. Just gonna defend. He was

(01:32:35):
a special kicker, man. It was fun to watch that
ball just explode off. But Lane didn't draft him, and uh,
it was just you know, something here inherited, so why not?
You know? Yeah, I mean, you're you're gonna use it
if you got it, you know exactly, you know what
I'm saying. Hey, hey, yeah, tell me about him, man, Yeah,
tell me about it, all right, Brady quinn Jonas not here. Yeah,

(01:32:59):
let's maybe on the other side of this break your
power to go to We made me talk about one
particular team that didn't just had a little bit confusing draft.
You know, Draft weekend were talking about that. I think
I know what team you're referring to. So yeah, we're
going to uh, we're going to get to that. Plus,
I mean I haven't even gotten to my bottom tent.
I mean, like I teased it, but we got so

(01:33:21):
so bad you should say at the end of the show,
I wouldn't talk about But here's the thing. Here's the
thing we were for those of you that are that
are confused because we tease one thing and didn't actually
get to it. Brady wanted to hear the phone call
from the long snapper. I didn't think it was the
greatest idea, but I went ahead and went along with
it because I'm a team player. Wasn't it wasn't you know? Yeah,

(01:33:42):
A little little team player here, all right, Brady quinn
Jonas knocks Fox Sports Radio. By the way, our draft

little over ten minutes from now, we are going to

We will get to that here, Brady Quinn, in about
ten minutes from now. Wait, so we're not doing over unders, well, yeah,

(01:34:49):
we do that at the end of the show. I'm
just really hoping to get past your bottom tenant. It's
really not it's really not noteworthy. I think you want
to draw more attention. You're sol for how bad it was.
But that's that's not good radio, is it. Yeah? No, no,
I listened. Well, I um, some of the stuff you
wanted to provide for a headline or lie probably wasn't

(01:35:10):
good radio either. But decisions have to be made, and uh,
you know the power the powers that be next to them,
powers that be. But listen, man, be careful who you
offend here. They might go and post more hashtags on Instagram.
Just gonna be careful. Just gotta be careful here. You know,
family pictures in Big Bear because he's wealthy, likes to

(01:35:31):
rub it in people's faces with the grocery store. I
don't of grocery stores. Big Bear did. Yeah, I think
they turned into giant eagles. Can I say some real
quick Bertie, Yeah, let's go live to our bray. Can
I say some real quick sider bubb Yeah. I appreciate it, Jonas,
kiss my ask, thank you? All right, thank you? Well listen,

(01:35:54):
what do you how do you what makes you think
I was talking about? Okay, okay, hold on, hold on,
hold on, I went here. I took a family trip
last week to Big Bear, and I still came into work.
Where is Big Bear by the way, Big Bears in
California's uh Bernadino Mountain area. Okay, it sounds nice. It
was very nice. It was a much needed vacation with

(01:36:16):
me and my family, and it was nice. You can
if there was snow and the snow had already dried up.
We had to actually, uh to push it back because
we had a death in the family, so we had
to push it back a couple of weeks from when
we were supposed to go. You don't want brought it up.
I'm telling you what's going on that you want to
take shots at me? So alright, break out the violins here,

(01:36:39):
need listen, Like I'm just trying to do a sports
socker radio. I don't need this aggravation. Man. I'm just
I was I wasn't talking about you. I have simply
was pointing out Big Bear, and you took offense to
it for some reason because I'm just so happened to
post a picture of Big Bear, like literally during a
commercial break. Also, can somebody can you can you guys
please point out the lie and and fact check Brady

(01:37:02):
Quinn on the Big Bear grocery store chain. That's I know,
you agree, absolutely. It used to be a grocery store
in California, thank you. So did they becau? Is that? What?
Is that? What happened? I don't know. They completely disappeared
many years ago. So much memories trying to run away
from my family and Big Bear grocery stores. Yeah, I

(01:37:24):
don't know. Why do that? When I was little run
away from her. See, I grew up in the stores,
so I'm not really familiar with those big chains. So
why do you want everybody to think that you're so
poor and you're so struggling, and but yet you've the
different radio markets around the US. Yeah, because I'm a
man of the people, all right, because I'm relatable. I'm not.
So you think that some people are poor they can

(01:37:47):
relate to know, but people I relate to the common man,
the guy who brings the hard hat and the lunch
pail to work. I'm that guy. I'm not like you
lead the lab who's got a father in Hollywood, you
go to Big Bear. Brady grew up behind the gates
Steve de Sager's member of the Act. To me, I mean,
what do you want California, the big Bear, not Big
Bear leg the big Bear of the store. That it

(01:38:07):
was called a Central Ohio institution, the chain and it
existed from three to two thousand four. Bankruptcy. Wow, so
that's how it went down. That's the things you learned.
So many good memories there, though I'd never think question here,

(01:38:28):
Hey Lee, did you ever have a rock band that
performed at clubs or anything like that? Maybe I have
you have? Okay, hey Brady, did you? I did not.
I have got a friend who had a terrible one
back of the man I had one had a terrible
and he was stupid enough to get a tattooed on
his arm. Yeah. That's funny, man, that's funny. Let me
tell you something, Bo, you know, Bobo Happy, you can

(01:38:49):
go screw yourself? All right? How about that? And just
tell you that right now? All right? Brady Quinn Jonas
knocks here Fox Sports Radio. Can we get back to
the matter at hand, Brady Quinn and and talk about you.
You've identified a team that did something puzzling in the
NFL draft, very very puzzling decisions. I'd like to talk
about two teams, because one I've got to tap into

(01:39:11):
your fandom. Don't then don't play it off. Okay, no, no, no,
the Bears, the Bears. You you've been a Bears fan.
Everyone knows that. Who listens to this show? Are you excited? Man? Like,
be honest, are you excited? I thought they actually Like,
I'll go out on a limb and say this, this

(01:39:32):
draft may have very well saved Matt Naggy and Ryan Pace.
I I really believe that. I thought they had a
flipping awesome draft from top to bottom, like Fields, Jenkins
and bore On the and the kid out of Missouri. Um,
they should help the offensive line, the running back Das
Newsom's a stud. Um that the grand kid out of

(01:39:54):
Oregon will help you know their secondary Like, I thought
they had an awesome draft. You've got to be that
as a Bears fan. Okay, Well, first of all, I
grew up a Bears fan. Um that you know that's
I mean. But listen, I used to wet the bed
when I was a kid. I haven't done an at least.
But the reality is this, Bears fans actually have something
to be optimistic about. You can relate to that. Okay,

(01:40:16):
fair enough, But here's the problem. They're envisioning, and you
got Matt Naggi who was in Kansas City, and and
the word out of Chicago is that Matt nage perfect
World wants this to play out like it did in
seventeen in Kansas City, in which they drafted Patrick Mahomes.
They sat him for the entire season and they just

(01:40:37):
relied on Alex Smith, who played really, really good football.
And Mahomes came in week seventeen because they wanted to
rest Alex Smith le so he didn't get injured for
the playoffs. Okay, yes, exactly, But here's the problem. Andy
Reid wasn't coaching for his job, and so I just
think this whole thing is going to get sped up.

(01:40:58):
I think I think the timeline is gonna get that up.
And if the idea is we like him, but we
want him to sit for a year, all right, Well
you can sit him for a year, but it doesn't
guarantee you're going to be back the year after. And
I just I just I'm skeptical. I'm not I'm not
saying that it's not gonna work, and there's a lot
of room to be to be excited. But can I
also point out a couple of things here, all right,

(01:41:19):
And you tell me if this sounds like this is
gonna work out well? All right? What have we always
heard about Ohio State quarterbacks in the NFL? Right, there's
a couple of things. I think I brought that stats,
but it usually hasn't worked out well. Yes, all right?
And what's the one place in which it never works
out well for quarterbacks? The Jets the Chicago Bears. So

(01:41:42):
you've got two pieces that you've got two pieces of
history is colliding, all right. So now either he's going
to reverse the curse on both of those or it's
going to continue to go down the road where it's
gonna go. So that's where I'm skeptical. Here's why you
should be optimistic. I think they had a good draft.
They've got weapons that he he could put send really
make into something, whether it's Dalton or eventually Fields. Your

(01:42:03):
point is legitimate. And here's why. The last time they
traded up the draft a quarterback number two overall. His
name is Mitchell Trabisky. And guess what happened to that
head coach that year fired? They tried to wait to
put your whisky in. Eventually put him in. John Fox
still got fired. So we've already seen this one before.
We know how the Bears could handle it. I'm optimistic

(01:42:25):
for this reason. I think the Lions had a good draft,
but they're kind of rebuilding right new head coach, first
time head coach outside of the interim stint he had
with with what Miami um. And you've got a Green babe,
which look, if they don't have Aaron Rodgers, you can't
tell me they're the favorite to win the division anymore.
And then you have Minnesota, which took a step back
last year. However, they've had a great draft, and you know,

(01:42:48):
who knows what happens. If Kirk Kutz doesn't play well,
they might have to turn it over to a rookie.
So look, the biggest thing is that if Rogers left
the Packers, it opens the door wide open. So that's
the optimistic side. And look I have I've defended when
we talked about and we were totally fair when it
came to justin fields because we pointed out, listen, man,

(01:43:10):
the game against Indiana, I think you were there right,
you were. It was in Columbus. You guys traveled for
for Big newon kickoff like he got outplayed by Michael
Pennock Jr. Bottom line, they got outplayed in that game.
The game against Northwestern, he didn't look good. But if
you're gonna tell me that, both of those trump what
he did against Clemson when he got cracked and stayed
in the pocket and played his ass off in that game,

(01:43:32):
I thought he was awesome and everything that that I've
heard that you've told me. Great kid, great character, no
issues off the field. So I'm happy for him, and
and for the Bears. There's legitimate hope at the quarterback
position with a guy that they were rallying behind and
just hoping would fall to them, and he ended up
being there at eleven when they made the trade. So
I'm happy for him. I'm just a little skeptical. That's great.

(01:43:53):
So let's talk about the other end of the spectrum.
That team that I think you and I were both
talking about. What's that the Raiders. I mean, let me
just put it this way. I don't have as big
of an issue with the picks a pick of Alex
Leatherwood because if they view him as a starter, and
they've they had him grated that high, so be it.

(01:44:14):
And he's gonna be playing the right tackle and he's
gonna be protected Derek Carr helping him out. The rest
of the draft is where it kind of starts to
fall Apart from me. The more kid they get in
the second round, he's a safety out of TCU could
have won the first round. That's actually good value there,
but taken too account, this isn't Jonathan Abrons. There a
former first round pick that they're high on, Karl Joseph

(01:44:37):
they signed back in free agency, and then they proceeded
to draft two more safeties after that. Where the hell
are all these safeties playing like? Usually're drafting more cornerbacks,
not safeties. So that's kind of the first question. And
then the other thing was is you take a flyer
on a kid from Buffalo who's an edge of r

(01:45:00):
sure I believe was his name. Yes, it's almost as
if you're trying to make up for another kid who
was from Buffalo that you drafted, that was an elite
pass rusher that you said you couldn't afford. You signed
all these other guys, and now none of those guys
are part of this roster anymore. And meanwhile, you could
have just had that great edge rusher from Buffalo stone

(01:45:22):
your team. Now instead of the third round, you draft
the guy you're hoping will be what's you already had. Now,
if John Gruden and Mike Mayock have a comedic bone
in their body, they'll give Kons the number fifty two
just to play the media like if they like, like
if you want to, if they go that route, all
is forgiven. Like, okay, I get it all right, it

(01:45:42):
was worth the joke to play on the media. I
get all that now. I do have to say this.
I have a dear friend of mine, die hard Raider fan,
really knows his football stuff. He has been very agitated
this weekend because he feels like the Raiders aren't getting
a fair representation from the media. Um the leather would
pick being that one. Uh. He's talked about the three
safeties in which are not actually safeties. Once a post

(01:46:03):
safety one plays a different position, whatever the case may be.
It does feel like the Raiders have said, we've got
one issue, and the one issue is the defensive side
of the ball and maybe a little bit on offensive line,
and we're just gonna grab a bunch and just let
him have at it during training camp and we'll see
what happens. I still think they've got a chance to
be a playoff team, but the clock has got to

(01:46:25):
be ticking at some point, right I Mean, I know
Gruden's got this big, big time contract, and I think
he's going to be the most difficult guy to part
ways with it. He's got great job security as of
right now. But I'm just wondering when the whispers start
to take place that hey man, we're four years in
and there's been no playoff appearance and we're just kind
of not really making the noise that we thought we

(01:46:47):
were gonna make. I mean, at some point that conversation
is going to happen. I'm sorry, I I just feel
like that conversation is going down at some point in
the next year or so. Yeah, I mean, it depends
on how they do. But the problem is is, look,
I'll put it this way, who knows what happens with
the Broncs. Let's just say they move forward with either
Drew Lock or Bridgewater. We know this, if it starts

(01:47:08):
off Lock, if you played bad, Bridgewaters in Bridgewater is
not gonna, you know, light the world on fire. But
he's also not gonna hurt that team and turn the
football over too much. They drafted a running back who's explosive,
they have great wide receivers, and it's a good defense
in Denver. Denver is gonna be a tough out. They'll
be better maybe even with Bridgewater or improve Drew Lock.

(01:47:28):
We know the Charges are gonna be good. They'll be
healthier on defense. They drafted, well, that's gonna be a
scary team to go up against. And did you look
at Kansas City, Kenta Cities, Kansas City? They were one
weakness was their offensive line. They went ahead and loaded
up there in the off season and in the draft.
So there you go. And so now you look at
this and you just go, all right, where are the

(01:47:48):
Raiders fall in line? Like that's a team that you
know was able to beat the Chiefs last year. But
I'll be honest with you, this year they could struggle
mightily just because of how good I think everyone else got,
you know, out around them. Yeah, and man, I love
Gruden and I want to I want to see Vegas
be good, Like I want that to be a showcase
game all the time. Just that stadium, that venue. I

(01:48:11):
loved Mayok when he was on NFL network. I wanted
to work and I think both of you, and I
think that Derek Carr is probably better than than a
lot of people in the media give them credit for.
It's just you're right, man, that division is gonna be
a nightmare. And if Denver does somehow pull off that
Roger's trade, if that happens, wait, what are we talking
about here, Like, I mean, it's yeah, it's that's gonna

(01:48:31):
be around. By the way, your your buddy, who's who's
the Raider's expert, and all that stuff. My rebuttaled him
would be okay one more years versa. So we can
do a bunch of different things, and you might say, well,
one's a deep middle safety, all that jazz. Guess what
what you'd rather have his coverage players. And so if
you want to say we're gonna draft one going can
play the d middle, then the rest of them better

(01:48:51):
be able to cover, and they can't cover as well
as quarterbacks that they could have taken in round three
in round four of this year's draft instead that they
went with safeties. So again, it probably came down to
their grades on those players, as was the conversation with
Leatherwood where they said, hey, we had them graded really high.
We had them as a starter. Okay, so be it like,

(01:49:13):
I don't have problems with that as long as those
players pan out for you. The reality is, for the Raiders,
Cleveland Ferrell hasn't you know, panned out for them. There's
other players that I think they're a little suspect right now.
Is the valuation there over the early returns. That's the
problem is they haven't built up much confidence in making
you think that the players they've taken they can either
pan out or develop during the time they're Brady quinn

Back to thank you, Steve Jonas Knock. Brady Quinn here
on Fox Sports Radio coming up ten minutes from now
here on FS are we are going to have another
edition of Over Unders. We're gonna tell you what is
going to happen in the days ahead in the world

(01:52:11):
of sports and beyond. It's almost like we're fortune teller's
Brady Quinn, you know, just like you know, like Mrs
Cleo some of these other you ever ever get your
fortune red ever that happened? Never actually got my fortura
you Have you done that once or choice? No? I haven't.
I was just hoping that you had it. Seems like
something weird South Ben on a Saturday night. You know,

(01:52:33):
I'm just saying, all right, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox here
on Fox Sports Radio, are you ready to hear my
not even close to being explosive mocked draft. Are you
ready for this? Brady Quinn? Sure, Look, let's go ahead
and do it. Are you ready for Uh? I'm having
some technical difficulties. I'm not hearing anything at the moment here,
so I don't even know if if I'm on the

(01:52:54):
air right now because I'm not hearing a single thing
here on Fox Sports Radio, which is appropriate. I cannot
hear anything that anybody is saying right now here on
FS are nothing here. Yeah, there it is other. It
is very good. I did not hear. I completely went
blank there. I could not hear a damn thing. For
whatever reason, everything shut down there. I mean, I'm confused.

(01:53:16):
Aren't you supposed to be talked about your picks right now? Yes?
Why do you keep dragging this on? Let's go, let's
get over this thing. Okay, So here we go, technical
difficulties and all. This is my bottom ten draft, obviously,
Trevor Lawrence. I was just busting balls that didn't happen
to DiCaprio Boodle. You remember at in Nebraska, the defensive
back to incorrect. He was a free agent signing by

(01:53:40):
the Kansas City Chiefs uh Dave John Dixon to fifty
two of the Rams, the wide receiver at a Nickels State.
I looked everywhere online. I don't think he signed with anybody.
So not only did he not get draft in the
bottom ten, he didn't sign anywhere after the draft thus far.
Remember Ellerson Smith at in Northern Iowa. He was the
edge rusher draft a little higher. Yeah, he got drafted

(01:54:02):
a hundred and thirty seven picks before I had him projected.
He went in the fourth round to the Giants. Ellerson Smith,
So I missed that one by quite a bit. Jalen
Moore out of Western Michigan, the offensive lineman. Yeah, a
ninety nine picks higher to the to the forty nine
who took him in the fifth round. Um, how about

(01:54:23):
your guy ian Book at a Notre Dame. I had
him going in the bottom ten of the draft. I
told you to go higher, but I had him going
to the Saints. He did go to the Saints, but
he just went to the Saints a hundred and twenty
two picks earlier than I projected him. That's still pretty solid.
That's still solid. You got the team right, and and
it was because of my scouting report. Because the quarterback

(01:54:45):
they just had, Drew Brees, he has a birthmark on
his face, and so does Ian Book, So it made
all the sense in the world. I think they drafted
by birthmark. What do you think about that? How's that
for draft? I've heard many people do the old Oh,
they're literally switching places canals. Drew Brees is calling Notre
Dame games. I'm like, that's so bad. This is the
first time that anyone's mentioned about the birthmarks. I like it,

(01:55:08):
a little little birthmark analysis. D'Angelo Amos out of Virginia.
I had him going to fifty six, free agent signing
by the Detroit Lions. Good luck to D'Angelo. I also
had Blake Prowle out of East Carolina, his father Ricky
Prole I him going to the Patriots, free agent signing
with the Minnesota Vikings. Free agent signing with the Vikings.

(01:55:31):
Um Elijah Sullivan, a linebacker out of Kansas State. I
had him going in the bottom ten, also a free
agent signing. He didn't get drafted. He went to the
forty Niners. And then last but definitely not least, Mr Irrelevant.
I had Rico Bussy out of Hawaii going to the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Brady Quinn wouldn't you know it,

(01:55:53):
free agent signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. So there we go,
none correct for the fourth year in a row. On
my attom ten picks in the draft A gigantic waste
of time every single year here on Fox Sports Radio.
In all seriousness, though the Ian book one with the
right team, there's you should be a war awarded for that.
That's incredibly difficult to do. And you make it seem

(01:56:14):
like undrafted free agents are that far away from your
bottom ten. I mean literally there, it's not that far off.
I mean, you have the bottom ten. I would say
if if we're playing like horse shoes, you know you're close.
You are getting close with those guys. It's the ones
that you that you're like a hundred picks off by.

(01:56:35):
That's where those ones you're a little bit a little
off a little. I try to tell you a few
of those. Though. Did you play horseshoes growing up? You
ever to play horse shoes in Ohio? Growing up? I mean,
I don't know. You guys more into polo and golf
and stuff like that. I was born to sports like
a football, baseball Baskett. Yeah, I listen that. That's how

(01:56:55):
That's how I grew up. So I'm yeah, I didn't
think you played big time man. I used to go
to sleep with Newman gloves and a cowboy caller on. Yeah.
I just thought you'd strum your guitar and yourself. That
was like the few things you did in your free time. Yeah,
more like a ban Joe. All right, Brady Quinn, Jonas
Knox Here Fox Sports Radio coming up next, over Unders.
We'll tell you what's happening in the days ahead and

(01:57:17):
the world of sports, and be on and it's yours
here on fs ARE. He's Brady Quinn, I'm Jonas Knox.
This is a Fox Sports Radio coming up in ten
minutes from now here on fs ARE. It'll be Chris
Plank and Arnie Spaniard ready to take over the airwaves
here on Fox Sports Radio. Make sure you stick around.
Always a fun listen with those guys here on fs ARE.

(01:57:40):
Brady Quinn, are you ready for a little bit of
over Unders? You ready for some of this you want?
I was actually hoping we get to the last segment,
but we we had to talk about your bottom, ton,
Thank you very much. All right, well more like bottom
never mind, all right, let's just do it. Time to
put your money where your mouth is. A life candy.

(01:58:02):
It's over under and for that we turn it over
to the great lead the Lab to find out what
the hell we did last week and how we're doing
this weekly. Alright, last week, you guys, we had a
push Brady of course was correct there there would be
under five and a half quarterbacks taken in the first round.
There were only five, very predictable by Brady there, and
then of course we did have the you're welcome, Brady,

(01:58:25):
thank you so predictable. Jonas didn't get it. Yeah, because
because I'm unpredictable. I'm a rebel man. You don't know
what I'm gonna do. But Jonas was able to predict
that the winner of the Kentucky Derby would be number
under ten and a half, number eight to Medina's spirit.
Good job, that's unfair, that's that's just how he's made. Yeah,
always under ten and a half, well under Yeah, did

(01:58:48):
you watch? Yeah? I watched it. A good job booking
our Kentucky Derby guest this year. Nice work, pal. Hey,
he couldn't make it something felievable, like literally like your
brother in law's a j Hawk and you can't get
that guy on the show. What kind of guest book
and skill is at? He could not make it. He
had an obligation. I was also gonna push any further.

(01:59:10):
What obligation is more important than hanging out with us
and talking about the Kentucky Derby. Now I should think
of probably a thousand things, but we don't have time
for that. Alright, very good. Somebody else who watched the
Kentucky Derby guys onto this week? Aaron Rodgers. So let's
go here a number of official statements by Aaron Rodgers
this week and a half over. I think I'll say
something publicly. I think I'll go with the under because

(01:59:33):
he's by far and away one of the most passive,
aggressive athletes in the history of sports. He's gonna let this. Yeah,
what do you consider a statemently? You're the Packers fan here?
What are we talking about? Unofficial statement made by Aaron
Rodgers himself? Is that like a tweet? Is that? Does
he have to it can be a tweet? Addressing the
drama that was this week, the reports that came out

(01:59:55):
this week. Why was he addressed with the dramas running
him in Jeopardy? That will out count This has to
be addressing the the reports about Green Bay Packers. That's
just because Lea's a huge Packers fam. Listen, Jeopardy sucks.
By the way, I was always a Wheel of Fortune guy.
Just to point that out. Um, I'll take the under.

(02:00:15):
I think he's gonna think he's gonna be vague. I
think in a in a sick, twisted way, he likes
this attention. I'm gonna take the under. All right, you guys.
Number of contracts Tim Tebow signs this week zero zero
under break, Yeah, not happening, man, all right, at my face?
All right you guys this time next week, seeding for

(02:00:36):
the Lakers five and a half. They're currently at fifth.
Oh well Lebron's packet. I mean they gotta be under five,
and I mean he's back, Lee, what are you talking? Oh,
that's right. They crap themselves on Friday night. Um, Lee,
I'm gonna take the over on that. I don't think
they'll be I think they're gonna be in the sixth spot.
I'm gonna take the under. I think they'll be in

(02:00:56):
the fifth spot. All right, you guys. A number of
social media post by Bobo about his shoes this week
one and a half. We've got a guaranteed one in there.
I mean, Bobo's in direct control of this. I'm gonna
say the over. Um, there's not much going on, so
maybe Bobo would be more inclined. Well, let's do you

(02:01:17):
have to think about it like this Sinco to Mayo,
He's gonna have like some red, green and white to travel.
Look at a shout out to all my Sinco to
Mayo peeps. And he's got like a pair of like
Sinco to Mayo air George Sinko to Mayo peeps. Wait,
we're real quick, real quick? Are you taking the over here?
Jonas over? Yeah? Okay, I'm gonna go the under that.

(02:01:38):
I'm gonna go opposite of you, aren't you guys? Number
of bars? Lee attends on Sinco to mile two and
a half. Did you just talk about yourself a third person? Yeah?
What ache bag? Someone else write lately you're a douche
bag man, Lee. I'll take the younger. I think you're
gonna go to one bar and get so total you're

(02:01:59):
not gonna be able to make it too the next
I'm gonna take the over. Yeah, I'll take the out.
You gonna want to be out in venture around. Maybe
we'll get lost because account Offy's drunk. He stumbles into
punch different marbers. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you gonna

earlier
