Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's right sitting in for it, Jason Smith and Mike Harmon,
Martin Wis's VJ Husky. You heard the man, as Bernie
Fretto would say, we're broadcasting live from the ti rack
dot Com studios, tire.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Rack dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, hope you get there with the unmaxed selection, fast
free shipping, freeridizer protection over ten thousand. Recommend them to stallers,
tire rack dot Com. It's the way that tire buying
should be.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
VJ.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It was the the move of the draft of both drafts.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Quite honestly, it was our first topic when we came on.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well it it was the first time that people were
scratching their heads when the Atlanta Falcons took Michael Pennix
junior mister dorag himself with the eighth pick in the
twenty twenty four draft. Surprised that he did not have
a black and red do rag ready to go, but
I am sure he will have it.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
On the sidelines. He had a fresh season. Listen.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
If he didn't have that do rag off at draft night,
I would have been on the conspiracy that he's actually bold.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Man, and I would have been on that. But they see,
here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You draft Michael Pennick Junior at the eighth overall pick,
awesome quarterback of the future does not jive with signing
Kirk Cousins to one hundred million dollars guaranteed just shortly
before that, because that would be did you do the
Kirk Cousins move, awesome quarterback of the future, But you
know you have a guy thirty six off of torn
Achilles a one hundred million dollars guaranteed is good to
(01:30):
be a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So but the question is they didn't use this pick.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
To upgrade any other part of the roster right obviously,
and best case scenario, this guy doesn't see the field,
right because you were gonna want the one hundred million
dollars guaranteed quarterback to play a lot. Yes, they have
a struggling pass rush, Grady Jared's coming off for touring Aco.
Now two pretty good teams, really good players in the secondary,
(01:57):
and Jesse Bates Ajterrell. But did the drafting of Michael
Pennix Junior cost the Falcons an opportunity at a playoff
spot in this NFC South because it was for the
taking last year and at the end of the season,
you had three teams that had an opportunity to do
it in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans
(02:19):
Saints and the Atlanta Falcons ended up being the Buccaneers
that won the division even with.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
A record of something like nine to six.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But you make it to the playoffs, all bets are off,
they go ahead and they beat the NFC East winning
Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, and you and I were on the opposite page.
And I was on the opposite page with most people
with this movie because I actually liked the move. And
I know what, VJ. Are you crazy? Yes? And look,
let me just explain why.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Can we get that as a draft what?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
VJ?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Are you crazy? But I'll tell you why I like
this move Because if you believe that this guy is
the quarterback of the future for your franchise and where
you were drafting and what was left, I am a
firm believer. I don't care what you have. If his
name is not Patrick Mahomes, then you take him. Patrick
(03:06):
Mahomes is the only quarterback in my opinion, that is
safe from anybody even thinking or sniffing around that you
can come and get this job, take this job, think
you could take this job. Get convinced that you have
a shot at taking this job. He's the only guy
that's safe. Kirk Cousin, you just said it. They paid
him what they paid him. They screwed that part up.
And my rebuttal to you not liking a movie so
(03:30):
many other people. Okay, they screwed up the kirk Cousins move. Fine,
but you don't compound it. You try to you try
to fix it. I think this was really the thought
process in the ideology of the Atlanta Auxes. They kind
of knew okay, and we might have we might have jumped.
We might have jumped, we might have jumped the room
on this. Let's pull back, because man, we like these
(03:51):
quarterbacks and Pennix. We worked them out. You never know
what happens when a kid walks into a room and
sits in front of you. Some of these college kids
know how to wow, and some of these college kids
know how to shake hands and kiss babies. They come
in and they blow. Oh my god, he's so mature,
he's so well spoking. So is he's an older guy?
What nineteen twenties nine he's had years in Indiana, had
years and watch like he's an older guy. He's a
(04:13):
guy that you feel like is ready. You take him
if you think he's your future. I thought they made
a bad move with Kirk Cousins. I agree with everybody
on that. But instead of saying, Okay, well let's dose
this pic to address something else, No, you're gonna need
a quarterback. And if you're like this guy now, you
might as well take this guy down. Deal with all
the outside noise, because at the end of the day,
it's mine over matter. If you don't mind, they don't matter.
(04:35):
But I look at this team and you ask me
about the playoffs. I think they have a shot the playoffs.
This division's winnable. We know that this division's open. There's
no guarantee walk away. There's no guarantee Tampa's walking away
with this division. I like the Saint to a little
more than Martin Doust. We'll see what happens with the
new head coach, former coordinator from Tampa Bay that pretty
much turned Baker Mayfield around and got him one hundred
(04:56):
million dollar deal. Let's see what he could do with
Bryce Young is some of the weapons that they've added there.
They got a lot of holes on the team there.
It's not just one position there. But then I go
and I look at the schedule. You know me, Martin,
what I like to do. I look at the first
seven and I like to look at the last four
or five games. That's gonna tell me where this could fall.
They opened up with Pittsburgh at home. We don't know.
Is it gonna be Justin Fils, Is it gonna be
(05:16):
Rossell Wilson? What's going on there with Pittsburgh? They gotta
go to Philly. Think that is the loss. They get
KC at home. I think that's a loss. So they
can start off one and two. But then I do
like they get into the division here, New Orleans, Tampa, Carolina, Seattle,
I think are all winnable games for the weapons and
the team that they have there. I think Bjon Robinson
is a number one running back almost a thousand yards
(05:37):
last year. I think he eclips that. I like Drake London,
but I need to see him become a more polished
route runner. You bring in Rondell Moore, who didn't work
out with the Arizona Cardinals, so you have another receiver
weapon there. I mentioned Bijon, you mentioned the defense, and
they finish up with Raiders, Giants, Washington and Carolina. I
think they could be I think ten games wins this division.
(05:59):
Why can't Atlanta get the ten if Kurt plays? But
if he gets hurt, Hey, this is what you took
Pinnicks for. Dow it get let's go. It's time to go, kiddo,
You're a top ten pick. Here we go.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I think they really did miss an opportunity to upgrade
the roster, because, like, I'm sorry, if you if how
is it that you your scouting department is If that's
the case, If what you're outlining is true, your scouting
department was asleep at the wheel when your GM was
going ahead and paying Kirk Cussins all that money.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Maybe someone got over, Maybe somebody got out.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Voted, Maybe somebody got out voted in the rum of suits.
The guy that you're saying, I think might probably was there, Martin.
But I think there's a guy that makes a little
more money than him has a bigger decision. And I said,
they jumped the broom on it because hey, I gotta
make a move, We gotta make a splash, we gotta
make a move. Now, Kurt's right there. You know, he's
likable guy. Obviously people keep paying them Martin, So apparently
people like the guy, well, they keep paying them guaranteed.
(06:58):
I think time.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The lesson that Kirk Cousins has taught the rest of
the NFL is it pays to get to unrestricted free
a you know, the to be uh, you know, to.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Play on the tag.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And if you play on the tag and you're successful
at a tag, congratulations again he do.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It again, it again.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You are at the NBA, the NFL version of completely
unrestricted free agency, right, so that way you are on
the open market, which is the really the quarterbacks normally
don't get to the open market in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And I think that's what that but that's the lasted
you can.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
If you could get the eleventh best quarterback out right,
how much you're gonna pay for it? If I'm Dak Prescott,
I'm sitting back and I'm looking at Kirk Cousins about
sitting down there DeepC fishing in my walking boot and
Cabos Saint Lucas saying, oh, oh, Jerry, you don't want
to extend me, Oh you you want to put.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Me on the open market.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All right, let's sign me up Brothers as a thirty
six wins in the last three years.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Can I interest you with that?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You know Las Vegas Raiders. But I think the foul
because ultimately just very poor process, Like you know, in
terms of the concept, like if you loved Michael Pennix Junior,
then you should drive Michael Pennick Jr.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
If you love Kirk Cousins, you should signed Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
If you love both of them, you should make a
decision on which one you love better.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I think they realized they made a mistake with Kurt.
I think they I think they like them both. Can
I say that, Yeah, I can. They like them both.
They don't love either one. You liked one, but you
realize you didn't love her, right, so you went on
another date and you realize that you, Ah, man, I
like her too. You know what, I'm just gonna day both.
It's like my Manti knows about my my dream and
(08:41):
my joke of Camilla Cardosa and Angel Reese. Hey my
number booth w and be able both of them. Manti's
like both of them, both both of them. That's just
what they did. They figure a I like them both.
We made a mistake. I really feel like that, Mom,
this isn't just radio talk. I feel like they knew that.
At one point they realized, Okay, we swung in miss
on this, but we can't compound it by not addressing
(09:04):
the mistake. So let's get our future quarterback now, because yes,
we can go draft somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Who are they gonna take it that spot? Another receiver.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Okay, if Kirk Cousins goes down or he's not the
same guy, you're resetting next year anyway. But if he
goes down, you at least have a top prospect rookie
that was drafted in the top ten that can get
in there and start to get his experience now. And
if you're bad next year, guess what that player you're
talking about addressing, they're gonna be able to address it anyway.
So this year, next year, twenty twenty four draft, twenty
(09:34):
twenty five draft, you're still gonna have to take a
top guy. If Kurt goes down, to your rookiees not
as good as you win six or seven games, so
then you're gonna be back in the top ten again.
Why not try to correct the mistake now instead? Of
deflecting to somewhere else on the team. I truly, honestly
feel that's what the front officers doing. Dude, when they
made the draft pick. Remember the whole commotion with the
(09:54):
with the owner and the like in the story coming
out that the owner didn't know it. I really do
think that went down like that. They were like, look,
we're going to We're gonna take a quarterback. But look,
don't nobody tell Arthur not look not yet, don't say
not the Arthur. Don't worry about it. I'll get because
once the pick is made, what can you do. You
can't call it anything. Oh no, oop's mistake. Oh we didn't
mean no, I did. You saw it on camera? And
(10:16):
I think I think, I think I'm close on this one.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
They knew they made a mistake, and they figured instead
of compound in it, it's deflecting to another position. Let's
try to correct it and get a guy from this
draft that we like this year. That's I do. I
just I just all time bad process. If that is
the case, you're you guess what. I'm not evenna say
you're not wrong about that, But I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Just and to the point, I think I think it
really set them back in a in a race for
a playoff spot that it was eminently available and winnable
in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Just winning this division to you then, because you don't
think it's Atlanta, Tampa's got this division, Baker does a backtrack, don't.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I mean he he could even take a step back,
and I still think it would be Tampa.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I think I think nine wins wins this division.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I think when you're looking quite literally the worst head
coach and quarterback combination in NFL history with a minimum
of one hundred starts together, and Derek Carr and Dennis
Allen in New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And then when you look at the brain, leave my man.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You gotta leave my man DC alone.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Man, I look, this thats tore the status.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
The sports are gauged off the winds and the losses,
and that that is just decidedly average without making a
move like it's insane. That and then you want to
talk about the lost the locker room. There's over there
challenge not calling the taking a kneel down so Jabal
Williams can get a touchdown like you want to. I mean,
(11:40):
everybody's killing jamis for it. And then I got to
read from Tom Pelaserow, Dennis Allen had a strong finish
to last year. He literally was overthrown by his backup
quarterback who now is in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
For that reason, if.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You were a coach on the hot seat or a
coach that went and't doing really good or anything like that,
would you do a move like that yourself to save
your job? And that's time and that the question is
kind of rhetorical. I could. I try to put myself
in people's shoes sometimes in pro in pro athletics, it's like, hey, listen,
if I'm a head coach man and I've had a
crap year, and yeah, I'm gonna get killed on Twitter tonight. Yeah,
(12:18):
some debate shows to talk about it tomorrow, but then
this thing will be gone. I'm trying to I'm trying
to have that quote said. You just said, Hey, VJ
fit is strong. Yeah, regardless of what type of uh
you know, moral compass you're trying to live from and
pro sports man when it comes to winning and losing,
I'm not I don't condone cheating, and you know, peds hgs,
(12:40):
I'd like cheating. I'm real hardcore cheating. But I know
we're we're losing team. I'm up big and I got
the ball on the one year. I could take a knee,
now you I could, but that's not what I'm gonna do.
I need. I need as many points and wins as
I can to save my job because I got a
wife and three damn kids. I got a daughter about
to go off the like I mean, I just really
(13:00):
think sometimes what I would do. That type of stuff
plays a part in these decisions. Bro, it's real life.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, if I was him, there's no way I would
have walked into the locker room if I'm Dennis Allen
and said that they did this against my will. There's
no chance. Like Slim Charles said, if it's a lie,
we will fight on that line. Yeah, it's too late
down it's an absolute lie. Coming up next, we got
a new Big Three in the NBA. But is it
(13:29):
past the Big three era?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Hmm? I think so?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
What does VJ think?

our producer Patrick taking a little bit of America's hangover
a little too seriously and not wanting to play a
game of who you Got, So we'll have a game
of VJ trivia that's right coming out. What should we
come up with a snappy name for it?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I haven't thought of anything yet, man, because well, actually
I wanted to call his segment who am I? Because
I thought then using a sound bite from Biggie from
Beanie Mine song, who am I? Would have went perfect.
But he wanted it's his segment. He wanted to go
who You Got? But I touched you guys. I was like, Yo,
we should go with who am I? Because that's what
we're trying to guess, like who am I? Who is
(15:04):
the player? And then Mary would have did her thing
with the who am I? The girl dumb sugar with
the Beanie Man. I thought that would have.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
That's a little bit too urban for.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
One.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Hey, yo, suits upstairs, I didn't say that part.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I say that we'll do that coming up and just
a moment here.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Getting it together now, I'm going through my cars and
my questions now, and you know what, get some good ones.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I am that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That's what I'm going through my own. Want to just
give you guys the easy ones. Give you got some
pretty hard ones.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Wait, can we go a little bit easy because you
guys not like am terrible?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Some of them are multiple choice, So I'll give you,
guys the multiple choices that are just leaving you off
the dart trying to just grab names off there.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
It's going to be for all of us throughout the
whole table here.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Yeah, that's for all of you guys. Gonna kind of
go easy on me a little bit o sports trivia.
Martin over there, he's gonna win it all. He's been saying,
he's been proud of me lately though, because I've been
knowing a little bit.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
What were you talking about earlier today, c J Abrams,
I had.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
To take like a couple of days ago, and Aaron surprised. Really,
I do find it. I do.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
We'll we'll take them home. We can get them.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
That's fair. I still hold to get you though that
Trey Youngest.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Okay, but look but look, hold on, hold on, no,
I'll stand on that.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But if look c J.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Abrams is clearing clearing, it's not it's.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Not like he's fine, like yeah, fun, Yeah, but she said, Abrams,
that's a whole different ball game, dog literally.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Game literally like Flying squared.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I got a crush on you hour by Mary.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Oh we should do that. I'll go through Mary's crush.
Don't have a crush on Anthony Edwards anymore? Too?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Is gone yesterday, baby daddy. Yeah, the Saturday.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That might be a conversation a little too urban for
fused with Ready, you're talking about it. There's a segue
here that's right there, and I'm not gonna do it
because this is a family friendly program. But Paul George
goes to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Yeah, now there's
a new big three, I guess allegedly apparently, and his
(17:21):
big thing Paul was talking about how you wants to
go to the right basketball fit, so Vernon, is Philadelphia
the right basketball fit for Paul George?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
No, No, he should have stayed, he staid in no
definitive should stay with the Clippers. And I don't think
they and I don't think I don't think Philly got better.
I'm I'm over. Remember earlier in the show, I talked
about Clay right, I am. I am really trying to
graduate as a radio guy that when big name guys
at a certain point in their career move guys, there's
(17:53):
a reason, Like there's a reason Paul George is the
best version of him we've seen, the best George embid
can't stay off the floor or stay on the floor.
The one season he did great one MVP. Okay, congratulations
got hurt again.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
This year.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Was hurt two years ago, was heard three, he continues
to get hurt. I like Maxi, but he he he.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm here on Maxie.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
MAXI is a killer, but I I can't put my
finger on it yet. And it's not a bad thing
or a negative thing. It's okay. Can he be great though?
Can he be a really really good player in the NBA? Absolutely?
Can he be great to the level of being a
(18:40):
reason why you can get to a finals, a reason
why you can win a championship.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I'm I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I've seen plenty of players come to the National Basketball
Association that are exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And can score and can put up points.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And you just think, Wow, this kid, this guy, and
then it tops out like it tops out. It just
does the film and the tape and it just don't lie.
I'm not average.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
In round one, nice and.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Young, Nice and young, got young legs, got young by
let's let some more years, let's let some more years
kind of get on that body. And then just even
back to nbiad are you gonna be available all year long?
And then with Paul George, he listen, they had it
right here in LA with the Clippers, that's a good
team they had. They have good pieces there, They've they've
changed little pieces here and there, and at the end
(19:33):
of the day. I heard Monty and Dan Byer was
checking them out the other day and they were talking
about whether it was a disappointment or you know, they
just didn't get it done disappointment. But at the end
of the day, if you don't get it done, then
it is a disappointment. And that's just not It's not
like a career or anything. It just is what it is.
Only one team can win in every sport every damn year.
(19:55):
And just to take the money to just go back East,
I get it, get your last big bag. But they're
not better than Boston. We'll see what the heat looks
like full strength. I like what the nick Obaccas have done.
Boston is the defending champions. We'll see what's gonna be
up with Milwaukee. Nope, put the stop on that. Their
coach is still Doc Rivers. Even though I like the players,
they're like the team, the coach is still Doc Rivers.
(20:15):
So going back East like it does it does what
like you getting Paul George like did what? It just
feels like the Philly does what they've been trying to
do for the last six seven years, Martin. Let's get
another guy. Let's get a third guy, Let's get a
second guy. Let's get it. And it's just it hasn't
worked out.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Paul George is much better shooted as a third guy
the three and D wing as opposed to I think
it was miscast as a member of the Clippers as
like the second guy who potentially can be the first
guy when the first guy is out. Now the problem
is Joelle Embiid is often injured. So that's that's what
lines up to be the issue for me with Paul George,
because now he's just gonna again be a guy who's
(20:51):
elevated from third guy to second guy more frequently than
he should be. But if Paul George is your third
best player, I think you're sitting pretty's. I think you're
in a good spot, especially when you look at what
they get. I mean, if you just close your eyes
and said, if you take Tobias Harris out about that
and replace him with Paul George, I think you're You're
You're on the aggregate better. Are you as good as
(21:12):
the top two teams of these No?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I don't think so. But on the aggregate, you're better.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
But you would have been much better, and you you're
more contract guy than I am. It would have I
would feel way better about this deal if Tobias Harris
didn't move on to to my pistons. I would feel
way better about this deal. Losing that. It's going to
be big. It's going to be huge. And I'll tell
you this, I Paul George being the third guy there.
(21:38):
You gotta show me that first. I don't think Paul
George is going there at all thinking hey, I'm the
third guy coming in here. I think he's going in saying, hey,
it's a one two punch with me and and BT.
And we got this young and we got this young back,
and we got that's gonna be a problem. We got
this young buckeroo, this little young whipper snapper, right, young
(21:59):
little mush mouth in Tyrese who you said is a killer.
But yeah, bro, I'm I'm PG. I'm a big Max guy.
Even though they gave him yet the Mexican he's a
Max guy too.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Now they're both standing on their wiles and growing seven inches.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But if you told me that PG is going to
brother the Sillier brotherly love, openly and willingly as their
third option.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Not not, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I think he's going in there thinking. I don't think
he's going there thinking he's the two. He's going in
there thinking it's a one two punch. Well everybody has
with me and with me and Joe. Well, and then,
like I said, the young whipper snapper, you come and
kind of clean up. You know, I don't got Paul
George going there and taking a back seat to Tyrese Maxie.
(22:48):
You you gotta show me that first for me to
believe that out of just out of the blow.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, now it's signed for Mansis to show us what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
What do you think about all of that?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Wait, am I own? Am I own something there with?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I just don't see how he thinks he is not
the number three when he literally just said on his
podcast that he is so tired after playing defense that
he doesn't want the ball. Did you hear him say that?
So it's like, of course you're going to be the
number three. We heard you, We knew you were already
not number one. We've already known that. I just think
the Clippers genuinely thought he could be a real number
(23:23):
two that could step into number one.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
And it was just like Martin said, we all have dreams.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
It was just a dream.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's gonna be really interesting to see how that whole dynamic.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I think if he accepts that he's the third option
when everyone's healthy, they can make it work.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
I think they can make it work.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Right.
Speaker 10 (23:43):
So, but we don't want him back. Adios.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Have a nice day. Wow, thank you so much. Adios.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Yeah, get no, get adios, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Let's start in the NBA today, in case you missed
the news. At Orlando, Magic Ford, Franz Wagner is making
his paper. He agreed on a five year maximum rookie
contract extension that can be worth up to two hundred
and seventy million.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
Not too shabby.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
In the WNBA, Angel Rees another double double twenty seven points,
ten rebounds, and the Sky beat the Storm eighty eight
to eighty four. Asia Wilson thirty five points, twelve rebound,
six blocks.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
Not good enough. The Aces lose to the Sparks in La.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Ninety eight to ninety three, while the Wings top the
Dream eighty five to eighty two. Let's go on to
soccer at the Copa America quarterfinal. Canada beat Venezuela in
penalty kicks. They will now face leonell Messi and Argentina
in the semi finals on Tuesday on FS one.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
On Fox on Tuesday, you can.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Catch the Euro twenty twenty four semifinals France and Portugal.
They were scoreless in regulation, but Franz wins it in
penalty kicks. They're gonna face Spain on Tuesday, who outlasted
Germany earlier today in the quarterfinals.
Speaker 10 (24:56):
Now in Major League.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Baseball, we're gonna start with the Pirates, who crushed the
Mets fourteen to two. Seven homers were hitting this one
that they even had to tell the fans that.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
They ran out of fireworks.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Bian Reynolds had two homers, including a Grand Slam, Rowdy
Tiles two homers, including a Grand Slam, and Paul Skeens
pitched seven innings, struck out eight, gave up four hits
two earned runs. He set an MLB record with at
least seven strikeouts in nine out of his first ten starts.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
Billy's held on to beat the Braves eight to six.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Trey Turner two homers, and the victory pitcher Aaron Nola
recorded his one hundredth career win.
Speaker 10 (25:29):
The Cardinals top the National seven to six and eleven innings.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
The Red Sox came back to beat the Yankees five
to three in ten innings. New York has lost fourteen
out of their last eighteen games. Victories for the Giants,
for the Tigers, the White Sox, the Rockies, and the Rangers,
who shut out the Rays three zero. The Twins scored
seven runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, not enough.
The Astros still win it thirteen to twelve. The Padres
walked it off against the Diamondbacks ten to eight. It
(25:54):
was Manny Machado who hit that two run shot in
the bottom of the ninth inning. The Oriels beat the
A's three to two, while the Mayer's edge the Blue
Jays two to one and the Dodgers Shoho Tani's thirtieth birthday.
He didn't do much, but Will Smith picked up the
Slack three homers in the victory and they beat the
Brewers eight to five. Rehys Hoskins another Grand slam in
this loss. Four Grand slams were hit today. Four that
(26:17):
seemed like too much, Like what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Too much? Too much?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Hits for you too much, too much?
Speaker 4 (26:24):
What do we you know, call me, call me old fashioned,
but I like a one zero to zero to one game.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
I will Oh no, I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (26:33):
Now, it's like fourteen to two when we do it,
lots of hits.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Back to you, guys, I'm with you, Montsi when it
comes sometimes in baseball, a good two to one game
three two, because you're you're hit, especially in the postseason. Yeah,
cause you're really and you're your sofa man, you're leaning,
You're leaning on every page, especially when the big boys
come to the play, because one swing can turn a
game around, right right.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I know it's very exciting for the fans in attendance
right when there's a lot of hites going on.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
But then it really makes me wonder because you know.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
There's that conspiracy theory that the league switches the balls out,
like from day to day, game to game, and that's
why some go flying certain day certain days and other
days it's like nobody hit the ball. So there's a
theory out there that baseball switches out the balls.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
And day like today, I was like, oh, they gave
the light balls today so that they all go flying.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
See Monty, when you and I ever work together and
do life National Global Radio. We are the only two
people in here, you and I and Alex. We we
have our theories and we kind of think outside the box.
But I'm in here on Saturdays with these guys in
the sega sitting in your seat. I'm left out. I'm
by myself. I am I'm left alone. I'm not allowed
to talk about maybe the moon not really being there.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
I literally have my xbiles found ready for you.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Oh, thank you all. I appreciate That's right. You know
what I'm bad.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
I victimize yourself. Man, don't manipulate the show right now.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think this is all a ruse to try to
get VJ out of playing.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
To play Let's go.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh no, I'm ready to come to your life from
the tirerack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Alrighty, So we have a show on our Saturday show,
a game on our Saturday show called who You Got Patrick?
Our producer, great producer here comes up with some some
trivia and some jokes and stuff for us and clues
and we come up with the answer. So now I
want to do something I want to do a little
trivia now because Martin is such a good trivia guy
and it's gone on Jeopardy and could.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Have went to the shot gone on Jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I'm sorry you got but you got close.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
He's pretty much on the bench and when they need somebody,
his name's on the list. I don't know how long
the list is, but I know my name's not there.
With Martin's game, excuse me. With Patrick's game, Martin beat me.
You know, the first few weeks competitive as I am,
I kind of got pissed and I was like, Okay,
I'm not going to lose it this guy every dayn
week with this stupid trivia game we're doing. So I
went to Target and I brought ESPN Trivia Game to
(28:56):
have all these cards and all these questions. So now
I get to ask some questions. And let's start off
with a really good one here. Mary, you're included. If montegear,
she could jump on this too. So the first one
is who is the shortest player to ever play in
the NBA as of twenty twenty three, standing at five
feet three inches.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So you want to go round table here?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I want to actually want to throw this to Mary
because I think Mary knows this.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Actually, I think I go ahead.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
And Mary, Well, I'm gonna say his name wrong. Wait, wait,
you get it. It's Muggy, right. I told you she
would know this. Easy one to start off one, all right?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
So another one that I found here that I think
you guys might get this one? But who was the
first player ever to never play in the US, never
play in the US, but be selected number one overall
in the NBA draft?
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Oh, this is a good one. It's not definitely not happened.
It's happened since. But who was the first?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Well, it's definitely not Albert King, because I know Martin
would never say that.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And those of you that don't know the Martin Vida
inside joked, you know, exactly never to play in the
US ever for one the first time ever, but was
drafted number one overall.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
I kind of want to ask if it's like like
multi choice or something.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Is this one of multiple It's not Charcoal Militay, he
was the second.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's multiple choice. But if I give you guys multiple choice,
Martin will wipe your asses in this game.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I mean that's fair.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's not dark though, is it our v it's not
our vetus a bonus, it's not you got a shot.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Patrick no.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Qualifies he was the first guy ever.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Everyone knows it's whimbe. I don't know, all right, I
was abouna say. I'm gonna give you guys an answer.
We'll move on. This is a really good one, mister
Yao Ming, first ever number one overall pick. But to
never play a game a minute a second on us soil.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Wait, yell Ming.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
He was a Houston Rocket though.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
But at the point is he didn't play a com play, got.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Drafted on overall.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Okay, all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
What was mar Shawn lynch Is twenty and eleven tackle
breaking touchdown called after cheering fans register it as a
minor earthquake. I'll give you guys the multiple.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't need it.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
I don't need it.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
This is one of the words you already know, one
of the worst of my sports life as a fan.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
All right, Patrick, good Martin. I hope you remember the
beast quake, baby, you know. I hope you remember that
at twelve win.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Or thirteen win New Orleans Saints you have to go
up and play seven and freaking eight shot Seahawks with Matt.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh my godt get started.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
I wonder what's worse that one, Martin or the Minneapolis
miracle Minnesota fact.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I don't like you at all.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Watch this one right here. You guys are gonna love
this question, right which is the only British Premier League
soccer team to go undefeated through an entire season the
league play Chelsea? Uh No, great, great guesses by both
of you guys, because they're part of a multiple choice.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Barcelona.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
No Barcelona is they're not in the Premier League, Premier League,
dude league. It is a joke because we were talking
about soccer. It's Arsenal. Oh my god, but La City
Chester United, We're we're both on there. Oh, I love
this one, great one right here for you. All right,
with the Olympics coming up, here's the thing for this question.
How many gold medals did Michael Phelps win in the
(32:58):
two thousand and eight Baijen Summer Olympic Games. I'll give
you the multiple choice four medals, six gold medals, eight
gold medals or did he just kill it with twelve
gold medals?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Michael Phelps swimmer, Oh wait, being.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
Twelve. I was actually gonna say eight as well. Twelve.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Give me the bell for these two gentlemen. It's eight
baby eight gold made eight. I thought that was a
good one, being to the simple fact that he was
also on some of the relay teams too. He won
his individual events and then got gold and some of
the relay teams too. I like this one too. Right here, Martin,
you would probably know this one, but I'm not sure
if these other two people will. What expansion team joined
(33:41):
the NFL in nineteen ninety five along with the kerr
Lina Panthers.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
To Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Literally, I.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Thought I knew the do I know the whole history
of the British franchise, but I thought they moved back
to Cleveland and it was right around then.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Now Jacksonville makes sense.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
You know that's crazy. I wear their sweatshirt all the time.
I was just stop wearing it now.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I love this question right here, and this is gonna
get mark. Everybody watched Martin's face when I read this,
all right watching What European country established the first set
of rules for the sport curling in the sixteenth century.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I know you guys, notice but Martin knows how much
I love Curly.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I told you, guys, look at Martin face. I told
you guys, look.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
It's the hand gestures like he's just just giving up.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
It's Iceland, Scotland. Oh Man, you always got it.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
You always got in mess with mar y'alls got invest
with mar Man.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All right, Okay, this is another going to to.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Wrap up the segment.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
How many Russian yards the Lamar in the mass in
twenty nineteen, setting the single season NFL rushing record for
a quarterback? Was it nine hundred and six yards? Was
it one thy one hundred and six yards? Was it
one thousand and six yards? Or was it twelve hundred
and six yards?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I want to say twelve hundred I think it was.
Speaker 8 (35:18):
I'm going to say, see, I'm going to say, uh,
one zero zero six for Man.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
One zero zero six for you, Mary Mack, one zero
zero six?
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Wait is that?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
C Yes? My Saturday part and mart dan Wisse, what
do you got?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Mark? That the twelvel six d my friend does the
twelvel six? No, that was a good win though, right there?
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
It?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Is this done with the segment?
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (35:47):
That? No?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Well, Man, I don't up against the clock.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
You know, you sad that it was from ninety five
to ninety nine that the Browns didn't exist.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yes, but this was but ninety five, so I had
the wrong, the wrong.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, it was the Addie actually asking the expansion as
far as teams that expansion. So coming up next, we'll
talk about one of the original NFL teams doing something
never been done before.
Speaker 2 (36:10):

Speaker 1 (36:35):
On What Now?
Speaker 3 (36:37):
It's what is June sixth and.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Most of America back here in Los Angeles, we're still
dealing with America's hangover. Hopefully everybody got the day off
today on a Friday.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
There was no traffic for me flying in here, one
on one on one.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Baby, I had it, I had it at eighty, I
had it at eighty and the left and the left
leg What you mean I was filling in the same
I mean, it'll be the same time to get home
as I got there. What a Los Angeles?
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Why all right? HBO came out with the nd season.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
The offseason version of Hard Knocks had a little talk
at the Senior ball between Joe Shane and the GM
or what's oh gosh, what's his name, Dan Morgan, the
GM of the Carolina Panthers, and then you end up seeing,
you know, the kind of how the sucess was made
between that Brian's Burns trade.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
But VJ, you think this might be a little bit
too much, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 9 (37:29):
Man.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I love the NFL. I do. I love football. I
love the NFL, and you know the product they put
on the field. I know they're the big boys, They're
the kings of the business and sports. And I always
tell people that, man, NFL won't do it. They wigh
whether you like it or not. They're not changing for
anybody like they never have, and I don't think they
ever will. And I don't think people expect them to
or people you know, really want them to. I just
(37:49):
feel like the NFL is always trying to sell us
on something. When you have the purest of the peer
of sports. All you gotta do is line up eleven
guys on inside of the ball, Lina bong guys on
the other side of the ball, open all the sports bars,
make sure you got enough wings and nachosen beer and
fantasy football, and people are going to tune and you
don't have to sell.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Us on everything.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
And I feel like the NFL is forever trying to
pitch themselves to us. I really don't care about this
hard knocks, to be honest with you, and I'm probably
sure that might be shocking to you because I care
about everything football. But I think this can lead to
some bad things because this is the type of year.
This is the part of the year where you're talking
about the hard decisions that's got to be made. It
(38:33):
may come off disrespectful if you don't want to pay
this guy. We hear what's really said in some of
these meeting when these contracts come up and it's time
to either let a guy go I e. Sa Kwon
Barkley right and make a business decision. I just think
that this it feels like pillow talk, Like these athletes
all going on podcasts telling their business or retired players
now talking about who they was with. What girl do player?
Speaker 6 (38:57):
Girl?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
They't messing. I don't like none of that. Man that
to me, that ain't grown man. To me, I'm a
grown man. Dog like that. That's not my flavor. This
feels like that, This feels like it this really this
time of year, though, bro, I love it. I love
because you know why though.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
It gives you a little bit of insight in the
way that some of these NFL front officers think.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
And I said, don't we know already, Martin, No, I
don't really.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I'm shut up here trying to guess all the time,
Like imagine if they're imagine, I do, I like guess.
Like if this was the Atlanta Falcons in this scenario
right now, I bet we'd have a lot more insight
over the while they drafted Michael Penni's with the eighth
overall pick, right, they would at least have to say
something about it because it would be, you know, the
main topic of conversation, as I'm sure people would be like,
(39:39):
now what do we do? Yeah, I'm all in on this.
I really enjoyed the episode. I just don't know why
any NFL team would sign up to do it.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, well, okay, if you say that, that's kind of
where I guess I'm at now with it. It just
feels this part of the year, I think is the
part you want to keep probably the most private, because
once again, it's can't it can't be a good look
down the line. It just it just doesn't. You You
already see players that don't want nothing to do with
receiver and quarterback and what's gonna be next pass rusher,
(40:09):
what's gonna be? You know, they're never gonna do an
old line d line show, you know, but what's gonna
be next?
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Right?
Speaker 3 (40:13):
That receiver show did come out?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, receiver, baby, late receiver. They're coming out with receiver.
And you're having people say, yeah, man, I'm done with it,
like Travis Kelcey, mister coole, mister I wish I was
so cool. Oh I'm so over the reality believe Okay, yeah, brother, yeah, sure,
sure you are. You're a walking reality show. But I
just think, once again, the lead doesn't have to sell me.
The game is just enough. The draft, the free agency OTAs,
(40:36):
training camp.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Preseason, the inner workings.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
I want to see how the sausage is made, which
you don't oh, yes you don't. Yes, no the hell
you don't, and Bernie Fratto will teach you how the
sausages make.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Coming up next
Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
That's right sitting in for it, Jason Smith and Mike Harmon,
Martin Wis's VJ Husky. You heard the man, as Bernie
Fretto would say, we're broadcasting live from the ti rack
dot Com studios, tire.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Rack dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, hope you get there with the unmaxed selection, fast
free shipping, freeridizer protection over ten thousand. Recommend them to stallers,
tire rack dot Com. It's the way that tire buying
should be.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
VJ.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It was the the move of the draft of both drafts.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Quite honestly, it was our first topic when we came on.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well it it was the first time that people were
scratching their heads when the Atlanta Falcons took Michael Pennix
junior mister dorag himself with the eighth pick in the
twenty twenty four draft. Surprised that he did not have
a black and red do rag ready to go, but
I am sure he will have it.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
On the sidelines. He had a fresh season. Listen.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
If he didn't have that do rag off at draft night,
I would have been on the conspiracy that he's actually bold.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Man, and I would have been on that. But they see,
here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You draft Michael Pennick Junior at the eighth overall pick,
awesome quarterback of the future does not jive with signing
Kirk Cousins to one hundred million dollars guaranteed just shortly
before that, because that would be did you do the
Kirk Cousins move, awesome quarterback of the future, But you
know you have a guy thirty six off of torn
Achilles a one hundred million dollars guaranteed is good to
(01:30):
be a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So but the question is they didn't use this pick.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
To upgrade any other part of the roster right obviously,
and best case scenario, this guy doesn't see the field,
right because you were gonna want the one hundred million
dollars guaranteed quarterback to play a lot. Yes, they have
a struggling pass rush, Grady Jared's coming off for touring Aco.
Now two pretty good teams, really good players in the secondary,
(01:57):
and Jesse Bates Ajterrell. But did the drafting of Michael
Pennix Junior cost the Falcons an opportunity at a playoff
spot in this NFC South because it was for the
taking last year and at the end of the season,
you had three teams that had an opportunity to do
it in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans
(02:19):
Saints and the Atlanta Falcons ended up being the Buccaneers
that won the division even with.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
A record of something like nine to six.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I believe.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But you make it to the playoffs, all bets are off,
they go ahead and they beat the NFC East winning
Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, and you and I were on the opposite page.
And I was on the opposite page with most people
with this movie because I actually liked the move. And
I know what, VJ. Are you crazy? Yes? And look,
let me just explain why.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Can we get that as a draft what?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
VJ?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Are you crazy? But I'll tell you why I like
this move Because if you believe that this guy is
the quarterback of the future for your franchise and where
you were drafting and what was left, I am a
firm believer. I don't care what you have. If his
name is not Patrick Mahomes, then you take him. Patrick
(03:06):
Mahomes is the only quarterback in my opinion, that is
safe from anybody even thinking or sniffing around that you
can come and get this job, take this job, think
you could take this job. Get convinced that you have
a shot at taking this job. He's the only guy
that's safe. Kirk Cousin, you just said it. They paid
him what they paid him. They screwed that part up.
And my rebuttal to you not liking a movie so
(03:30):
many other people. Okay, they screwed up the kirk Cousins move. Fine,
but you don't compound it. You try to you try
to fix it. I think this was really the thought
process in the ideology of the Atlanta Auxes. They kind
of knew okay, and we might have we might have jumped.
We might have jumped, we might have jumped the room
on this. Let's pull back, because man, we like these
(03:51):
quarterbacks and Pennix. We worked them out. You never know
what happens when a kid walks into a room and
sits in front of you. Some of these college kids
know how to wow, and some of these college kids
know how to shake hands and kiss babies. They come
in and they blow. Oh my god, he's so mature,
he's so well spoking. So is he's an older guy?
What nineteen twenties nine he's had years in Indiana, had
years and watch like he's an older guy. He's a
(04:13):
guy that you feel like is ready. You take him
if you think he's your future. I thought they made
a bad move with Kirk Cousins. I agree with everybody
on that. But instead of saying, Okay, well let's dose
this pic to address something else, No, you're gonna need
a quarterback. And if you're like this guy now, you
might as well take this guy down. Deal with all
the outside noise, because at the end of the day,
it's mine over matter. If you don't mind, they don't matter.
(04:35):
But I look at this team and you ask me
about the playoffs. I think they have a shot the playoffs.
This division's winnable. We know that this division's open. There's
no guarantee walk away. There's no guarantee Tampa's walking away
with this division. I like the Saint to a little
more than Martin Doust. We'll see what happens with the
new head coach, former coordinator from Tampa Bay that pretty
much turned Baker Mayfield around and got him one hundred
(04:56):
million dollar deal. Let's see what he could do with
Bryce Young is some of the weapons that they've added there.
They got a lot of holes on the team there.
It's not just one position there. But then I go
and I look at the schedule. You know me, Martin,
what I like to do. I look at the first
seven and I like to look at the last four
or five games. That's gonna tell me where this could fall.
They opened up with Pittsburgh at home. We don't know.
Is it gonna be Justin Fils, Is it gonna be
(05:16):
Rossell Wilson? What's going on there with Pittsburgh? They gotta
go to Philly. Think that is the loss. They get
KC at home. I think that's a loss. So they
can start off one and two. But then I do
like they get into the division here, New Orleans, Tampa, Carolina, Seattle,
I think are all winnable games for the weapons and
the team that they have there. I think Bjon Robinson
is a number one running back almost a thousand yards
(05:37):
last year. I think he eclips that. I like Drake London,
but I need to see him become a more polished
route runner. You bring in Rondell Moore, who didn't work
out with the Arizona Cardinals, so you have another receiver
weapon there. I mentioned Bijon, you mentioned the defense, and
they finish up with Raiders, Giants, Washington and Carolina. I
think they could be I think ten games wins this division.
(05:59):
Why can't Atlanta get the ten if Kurt plays? But
if he gets hurt, Hey, this is what you took
Pinnicks for. Dow it get let's go. It's time to go, kiddo,
You're a top ten pick. Here we go.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I think they really did miss an opportunity to upgrade
the roster, because, like, I'm sorry, if you if how
is it that you your scouting department is If that's
the case, If what you're outlining is true, your scouting
department was asleep at the wheel when your GM was
going ahead and paying Kirk Cussins all that money.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Maybe someone got over, Maybe somebody got out.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Voted, Maybe somebody got out voted in the rum of suits.
The guy that you're saying, I think might probably was there, Martin.
But I think there's a guy that makes a little
more money than him has a bigger decision. And I said,
they jumped the broom on it because hey, I gotta
make a move, We gotta make a splash, we gotta
make a move. Now, Kurt's right there. You know, he's
likable guy. Obviously people keep paying them Martin, So apparently
people like the guy, well, they keep paying them guaranteed.
(06:58):
I think time.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The lesson that Kirk Cousins has taught the rest of
the NFL is it pays to get to unrestricted free
a you know, the to be uh, you know, to.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Play on the tag.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And if you play on the tag and you're successful
at a tag, congratulations again he do.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It again, it again.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You are at the NBA, the NFL version of completely
unrestricted free agency, right, so that way you are on
the open market, which is the really the quarterbacks normally
don't get to the open market in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And I think that's what that but that's the lasted
you can.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
If you could get the eleventh best quarterback out right,
how much you're gonna pay for it? If I'm Dak Prescott,
I'm sitting back and I'm looking at Kirk Cousins about
sitting down there DeepC fishing in my walking boot and
Cabos Saint Lucas saying, oh, oh, Jerry, you don't want
to extend me, Oh you you want to put.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Me on the open market.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All right, let's sign me up Brothers as a thirty
six wins in the last three years.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Can I interest you with that?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You know Las Vegas Raiders. But I think the foul
because ultimately just very poor process, Like you know, in
terms of the concept, like if you loved Michael Pennix Junior,
then you should drive Michael Pennick Jr.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
If you love Kirk Cousins, you should signed Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
If you love both of them, you should make a
decision on which one you love better.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I think they realized they made a mistake with Kurt.
I think they I think they like them both. Can
I say that, Yeah, I can. They like them both.
They don't love either one. You liked one, but you
realize you didn't love her, right, so you went on
another date and you realize that you, Ah, man, I
like her too. You know what, I'm just gonna day both.
It's like my Manti knows about my my dream and
(08:41):
my joke of Camilla Cardosa and Angel Reese. Hey my
number booth w and be able both of them. Manti's
like both of them, both both of them. That's just
what they did. They figure a I like them both.
We made a mistake. I really feel like that, Mom,
this isn't just radio talk. I feel like they knew that.
At one point they realized, Okay, we swung in miss
on this, but we can't compound it by not addressing
(09:04):
the mistake. So let's get our future quarterback now, because yes,
we can go draft somebody.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Who are they gonna take it that spot? Another receiver.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Okay, if Kirk Cousins goes down or he's not the
same guy, you're resetting next year anyway. But if he
goes down, you at least have a top prospect rookie
that was drafted in the top ten that can get
in there and start to get his experience now. And
if you're bad next year, guess what that player you're
talking about addressing, they're gonna be able to address it anyway.
So this year, next year, twenty twenty four draft, twenty
(09:34):
twenty five draft, you're still gonna have to take a
top guy. If Kurt goes down, to your rookiees not
as good as you win six or seven games, so
then you're gonna be back in the top ten again.
Why not try to correct the mistake now instead? Of
deflecting to somewhere else on the team. I truly, honestly
feel that's what the front officers doing. Dude, when they
made the draft pick. Remember the whole commotion with the
(09:54):
with the owner and the like in the story coming
out that the owner didn't know it. I really do
think that went down like that. They were like, look,
we're going to We're gonna take a quarterback. But look,
don't nobody tell Arthur not look not yet, don't say
not the Arthur. Don't worry about it. I'll get because
once the pick is made, what can you do. You
can't call it anything. Oh no, oop's mistake. Oh we didn't
mean no, I did. You saw it on camera? And
(10:16):
I think I think, I think I'm close on this one.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
They knew they made a mistake, and they figured instead
of compound in it, it's deflecting to another position. Let's
try to correct it and get a guy from this
draft that we like this year. That's I do. I
just I just all time bad process. If that is
the case, you're you guess what. I'm not evenna say
you're not wrong about that, But I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Just and to the point, I think I think it
really set them back in a in a race for
a playoff spot that it was eminently available and winnable
in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Just winning this division to you then, because you don't
think it's Atlanta, Tampa's got this division, Baker does a backtrack, don't.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I mean he he could even take a step back,
and I still think it would be Tampa.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I think I think nine wins wins this division.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I think when you're looking quite literally the worst head
coach and quarterback combination in NFL history with a minimum
of one hundred starts together, and Derek Carr and Dennis
Allen in New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
And then when you look at the brain, leave my man.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You gotta leave my man DC alone.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Man, I look, this thats tore the status.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
The sports are gauged off the winds and the losses,
and that that is just decidedly average without making a
move like it's insane. That and then you want to
talk about the lost the locker room. There's over there
challenge not calling the taking a kneel down so Jabal
Williams can get a touchdown like you want to. I mean,
(11:40):
everybody's killing jamis for it. And then I got to
read from Tom Pelaserow, Dennis Allen had a strong finish
to last year. He literally was overthrown by his backup
quarterback who now is in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
For that reason, if.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You were a coach on the hot seat or a
coach that went and't doing really good or anything like that,
would you do a move like that yourself to save
your job? And that's time and that the question is
kind of rhetorical. I could. I try to put myself
in people's shoes sometimes in pro in pro athletics, it's like, hey, listen,
if I'm a head coach man and I've had a
crap year, and yeah, I'm gonna get killed on Twitter tonight. Yeah,
(12:18):
some debate shows to talk about it tomorrow, but then
this thing will be gone. I'm trying to I'm trying
to have that quote said. You just said, Hey, VJ
fit is strong. Yeah, regardless of what type of uh
you know, moral compass you're trying to live from and
pro sports man when it comes to winning and losing,
I'm not I don't condone cheating, and you know, peds hgs,
(12:40):
I'd like cheating. I'm real hardcore cheating. But I know
we're we're losing team. I'm up big and I got
the ball on the one year. I could take a knee,
now you I could, but that's not what I'm gonna do.
I need. I need as many points and wins as
I can to save my job because I got a
wife and three damn kids. I got a daughter about
to go off the like I mean, I just really
(13:00):
think sometimes what I would do. That type of stuff
plays a part in these decisions. Bro, it's real life.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Well, if I was him, there's no way I would
have walked into the locker room if I'm Dennis Allen
and said that they did this against my will. There's
no chance. Like Slim Charles said, if it's a lie,
we will fight on that line. Yeah, it's too late
down it's an absolute lie. Coming up next, we got
a new Big Three in the NBA. But is it
(13:29):
past the Big three era?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Hmm? I think so?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
What does VJ think?

our producer Patrick taking a little bit of America's hangover
a little too seriously and not wanting to play a
game of who you Got, So we'll have a game
of VJ trivia that's right coming out. What should we
come up with a snappy name for it?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I haven't thought of anything yet, man, because well, actually
I wanted to call his segment who am I? Because
I thought then using a sound bite from Biggie from
Beanie Mine song, who am I? Would have went perfect.
But he wanted it's his segment. He wanted to go
who You Got? But I touched you guys. I was like, Yo,
we should go with who am I? Because that's what
we're trying to guess, like who am I? Who is
(15:04):
the player? And then Mary would have did her thing
with the who am I? The girl dumb sugar with
the Beanie Man. I thought that would have.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
That's a little bit too urban for.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
One.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Hey, yo, suits upstairs, I didn't say that part.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I say that we'll do that coming up and just
a moment here.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Getting it together now, I'm going through my cars and
my questions now, and you know what, get some good ones.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I am that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That's what I'm going through my own. Want to just
give you guys the easy ones. Give you got some
pretty hard ones.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Wait, can we go a little bit easy because you
guys not like am terrible?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Some of them are multiple choice, So I'll give you,
guys the multiple choices that are just leaving you off
the dart trying to just grab names off there.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
It's going to be for all of us throughout the
whole table here.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Yeah, that's for all of you guys. Gonna kind of
go easy on me a little bit o sports trivia.
Martin over there, he's gonna win it all. He's been saying,
he's been proud of me lately though, because I've been
knowing a little bit.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
What were you talking about earlier today, c J Abrams,
I had.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
To take like a couple of days ago, and Aaron surprised. Really,
I do find it. I do.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
We'll we'll take them home. We can get them.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
That's fair. I still hold to get you though that
Trey Youngest.
Speaker 9 (16:17):
Okay, but look but look, hold on, hold on, no,
I'll stand on that.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But if look c J.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Abrams is clearing clearing, it's not it's.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
Not like he's fine, like yeah, fun, Yeah, but she said, Abrams,
that's a whole different ball game, dog literally.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Game literally like Flying squared.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I got a crush on you hour by Mary.
Speaker 9 (16:47):
Oh we should do that. I'll go through Mary's crush.
Don't have a crush on Anthony Edwards anymore? Too?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Is gone yesterday, baby daddy. Yeah, the Saturday.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
That might be a conversation a little too urban for
fused with Ready, you're talking about it. There's a segue
here that's right there, and I'm not gonna do it
because this is a family friendly program. But Paul George
goes to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Yeah, now there's
a new big three, I guess allegedly apparently, and his
(17:21):
big thing Paul was talking about how you wants to
go to the right basketball fit, so Vernon, is Philadelphia
the right basketball fit for Paul George?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
No, No, he should have stayed, he staid in no
definitive should stay with the Clippers. And I don't think
they and I don't think I don't think Philly got better.
I'm I'm over. Remember earlier in the show, I talked
about Clay right, I am. I am really trying to
graduate as a radio guy that when big name guys
at a certain point in their career move guys, there's
(17:53):
a reason, Like there's a reason Paul George is the
best version of him we've seen, the best George embid
can't stay off the floor or stay on the floor.
The one season he did great one MVP. Okay, congratulations
got hurt again.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
This year.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Was hurt two years ago, was heard three, he continues
to get hurt. I like Maxi, but he he he.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
I'm here on Maxie.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
MAXI is a killer, but I I can't put my
finger on it yet. And it's not a bad thing
or a negative thing. It's okay. Can he be great though?
Can he be a really really good player in the NBA? Absolutely?
Can he be great to the level of being a
(18:40):
reason why you can get to a finals, a reason
why you can win a championship.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I'm I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I've seen plenty of players come to the National Basketball
Association that are exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And can score and can put up points.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And you just think, Wow, this kid, this guy, and
then it tops out like it tops out. It just
does the film and the tape and it just don't lie.
I'm not average.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
In round one, nice and.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Young, Nice and young, got young legs, got young by
let's let some more years, let's let some more years
kind of get on that body. And then just even
back to nbiad are you gonna be available all year long?
And then with Paul George, he listen, they had it
right here in LA with the Clippers, that's a good
team they had. They have good pieces there, They've they've
changed little pieces here and there, and at the end
(19:33):
of the day. I heard Monty and Dan Byer was
checking them out the other day and they were talking
about whether it was a disappointment or you know, they
just didn't get it done disappointment. But at the end
of the day, if you don't get it done, then
it is a disappointment. And that's just not It's not
like a career or anything. It just is what it is.
Only one team can win in every sport every damn year.
(19:55):
And just to take the money to just go back East,
I get it, get your last big bag. But they're
not better than Boston. We'll see what the heat looks
like full strength. I like what the nick Obaccas have done.
Boston is the defending champions. We'll see what's gonna be
up with Milwaukee. Nope, put the stop on that. Their
coach is still Doc Rivers. Even though I like the players,
they're like the team, the coach is still Doc Rivers.
(20:15):
So going back East like it does it does what
like you getting Paul George like did what? It just
feels like the Philly does what they've been trying to
do for the last six seven years, Martin. Let's get
another guy. Let's get a third guy, Let's get a
second guy. Let's get it. And it's just it hasn't
worked out.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Paul George is much better shooted as a third guy
the three and D wing as opposed to I think
it was miscast as a member of the Clippers as
like the second guy who potentially can be the first
guy when the first guy is out. Now the problem
is Joelle Embiid is often injured. So that's that's what
lines up to be the issue for me with Paul George,
because now he's just gonna again be a guy who's
(20:51):
elevated from third guy to second guy more frequently than
he should be. But if Paul George is your third
best player, I think you're sitting pretty's. I think you're
in a good spot, especially when you look at what
they get. I mean, if you just close your eyes
and said, if you take Tobias Harris out about that
and replace him with Paul George, I think you're You're
You're on the aggregate better. Are you as good as
(21:12):
the top two teams of these No?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I don't think so. But on the aggregate, you're better.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
But you would have been much better, and you you're
more contract guy than I am. It would have I
would feel way better about this deal if Tobias Harris
didn't move on to to my pistons. I would feel
way better about this deal. Losing that. It's going to
be big. It's going to be huge. And I'll tell
you this, I Paul George being the third guy there.
(21:38):
You gotta show me that first. I don't think Paul
George is going there at all thinking hey, I'm the
third guy coming in here. I think he's going in saying, hey,
it's a one two punch with me and and BT.
And we got this young and we got this young back,
and we got that's gonna be a problem. We got
this young buckeroo, this little young whipper snapper, right, young
(21:59):
little mush mouth in Tyrese who you said is a killer.
But yeah, bro, I'm I'm PG. I'm a big Max guy.
Even though they gave him yet the Mexican he's a
Max guy too.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Now they're both standing on their wiles and growing seven inches.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But if you told me that PG is going to
brother the Sillier brotherly love, openly and willingly as their
third option.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Not not, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I think he's going in there thinking. I don't think
he's going there thinking he's the two. He's going in
there thinking it's a one two punch. Well everybody has
with me and with me and Joe. Well, and then,
like I said, the young whipper snapper, you come and
kind of clean up. You know, I don't got Paul
George going there and taking a back seat to Tyrese Maxie.
(22:48):
You you gotta show me that first for me to
believe that out of just out of the blow.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Well, now it's signed for Mansis to show us what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
What do you think about all of that?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Wait, am I own? Am I own something there with?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
I just don't see how he thinks he is not
the number three when he literally just said on his
podcast that he is so tired after playing defense that
he doesn't want the ball. Did you hear him say that?
So it's like, of course you're going to be the
number three. We heard you, We knew you were already
not number one. We've already known that. I just think
the Clippers genuinely thought he could be a real number
(23:23):
two that could step into number one.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
And it was just like Martin said, we all have dreams.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
It was just a dream.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's gonna be really interesting to see how that whole dynamic.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I think if he accepts that he's the third option
when everyone's healthy, they can make it work.
Speaker 10 (23:40):
I think they can make it work.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Right.
Speaker 10 (23:43):
So, but we don't want him back. Adios.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Have a nice day. Wow, thank you so much. Adios.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Yeah, get no, get adios, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Let's start in the NBA today, in case you missed
the news. At Orlando, Magic Ford, Franz Wagner is making
his paper. He agreed on a five year maximum rookie
contract extension that can be worth up to two hundred
and seventy million.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
Not too shabby.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
In the WNBA, Angel Rees another double double twenty seven points,
ten rebounds, and the Sky beat the Storm eighty eight
to eighty four. Asia Wilson thirty five points, twelve rebound,
six blocks.
Speaker 10 (24:20):
Not good enough. The Aces lose to the Sparks in La.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Ninety eight to ninety three, while the Wings top the
Dream eighty five to eighty two. Let's go on to
soccer at the Copa America quarterfinal. Canada beat Venezuela in
penalty kicks. They will now face leonell Messi and Argentina
in the semi finals on Tuesday on FS one.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
On Fox on Tuesday, you can.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Catch the Euro twenty twenty four semifinals France and Portugal.
They were scoreless in regulation, but Franz wins it in
penalty kicks. They're gonna face Spain on Tuesday, who outlasted
Germany earlier today in the quarterfinals.
Speaker 10 (24:56):
Now in Major League.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Baseball, we're gonna start with the Pirates, who crushed the
Mets fourteen to two. Seven homers were hitting this one
that they even had to tell the fans that.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
They ran out of fireworks.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Bian Reynolds had two homers, including a Grand Slam, Rowdy
Tiles two homers, including a Grand Slam, and Paul Skeens
pitched seven innings, struck out eight, gave up four hits
two earned runs. He set an MLB record with at
least seven strikeouts in nine out of his first ten starts.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
Billy's held on to beat the Braves eight to six.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Trey Turner two homers, and the victory pitcher Aaron Nola
recorded his one hundredth career win.
Speaker 10 (25:29):
The Cardinals top the National seven to six and eleven innings.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
The Red Sox came back to beat the Yankees five
to three in ten innings. New York has lost fourteen
out of their last eighteen games. Victories for the Giants,
for the Tigers, the White Sox, the Rockies, and the Rangers,
who shut out the Rays three zero. The Twins scored
seven runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, not enough.
The Astros still win it thirteen to twelve. The Padres
walked it off against the Diamondbacks ten to eight. It
(25:54):
was Manny Machado who hit that two run shot in
the bottom of the ninth inning. The Oriels beat the
A's three to two, while the Mayer's edge the Blue
Jays two to one and the Dodgers Shoho Tani's thirtieth birthday.
He didn't do much, but Will Smith picked up the
Slack three homers in the victory and they beat the
Brewers eight to five. Rehys Hoskins another Grand slam in
this loss. Four Grand slams were hit today. Four that
(26:17):
seemed like too much, Like what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Too much? Too much?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Hits for you too much, too much?
Speaker 4 (26:24):
What do we you know, call me, call me old fashioned,
but I like a one zero to zero to one game.
Speaker 10 (26:30):
I will Oh no, I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (26:33):
Now, it's like fourteen to two when we do it,
lots of hits.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Back to you, guys, I'm with you, Montsi when it
comes sometimes in baseball, a good two to one game
three two, because you're you're hit, especially in the postseason. Yeah,
cause you're really and you're your sofa man, you're leaning,
You're leaning on every page, especially when the big boys
come to the play, because one swing can turn a
game around, right right.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
I know it's very exciting for the fans in attendance
right when there's a lot of hites going on.
Speaker 10 (26:58):
But then it really makes me wonder because you know.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
There's that conspiracy theory that the league switches the balls out,
like from day to day, game to game, and that's
why some go flying certain day certain days and other
days it's like nobody hit the ball. So there's a
theory out there that baseball switches out the balls.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
No no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
And day like today, I was like, oh, they gave
the light balls today so that they all go flying.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
See Monty, when you and I ever work together and
do life National Global Radio. We are the only two
people in here, you and I and Alex. We we
have our theories and we kind of think outside the box.
But I'm in here on Saturdays with these guys in
the sega sitting in your seat. I'm left out. I'm
by myself. I am I'm left alone. I'm not allowed
to talk about maybe the moon not really being there.
Speaker 8 (27:44):
I literally have my xbiles found ready for you.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Oh, thank you all. I appreciate That's right. You know
what I'm bad.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
I victimize yourself. Man, don't manipulate the show right now.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think this is all a ruse to try to
get VJ out of playing.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
To play Let's go.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Oh no, I'm ready to come to your life from
the tirerack dot Com Studios.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Alrighty, So we have a show on our Saturday show,
a game on our Saturday show called who You Got Patrick?
Our producer, great producer here comes up with some some
trivia and some jokes and stuff for us and clues
and we come up with the answer. So now I
want to do something I want to do a little
trivia now because Martin is such a good trivia guy
and it's gone on Jeopardy and could.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Have went to the shot gone on Jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I'm sorry you got but you got close.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
He's pretty much on the bench and when they need somebody,
his name's on the list. I don't know how long
the list is, but I know my name's not there.
With Martin's game, excuse me. With Patrick's game, Martin beat me.
You know, the first few weeks competitive as I am,
I kind of got pissed and I was like, Okay,
I'm not going to lose it this guy every dayn
week with this stupid trivia game we're doing. So I
went to Target and I brought ESPN Trivia Game to
(28:56):
have all these cards and all these questions. So now
I get to ask some questions. And let's start off
with a really good one here. Mary, you're included. If montegear,
she could jump on this too. So the first one
is who is the shortest player to ever play in
the NBA as of twenty twenty three, standing at five
feet three inches.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
So you want to go round table here?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I want to actually want to throw this to Mary
because I think Mary knows this.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Actually, I think I go ahead.
Speaker 9 (29:24):
And Mary, Well, I'm gonna say his name wrong. Wait, wait,
you get it. It's Muggy, right. I told you she
would know this. Easy one to start off one, all right?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
So another one that I found here that I think
you guys might get this one? But who was the
first player ever to never play in the US, never
play in the US, but be selected number one overall
in the NBA draft?
Speaker 11 (29:56):
Oh, this is a good one. It's not definitely not happened.
It's happened since. But who was the first?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Well, it's definitely not Albert King, because I know Martin
would never say that.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
And those of you that don't know the Martin Vida
inside joked, you know, exactly never to play in the
US ever for one the first time ever, but was
drafted number one overall.
Speaker 8 (30:28):
I kind of want to ask if it's like like
multi choice or something.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Is this one of multiple It's not Charcoal Militay, he
was the second.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's multiple choice. But if I give you guys multiple choice,
Martin will wipe your asses in this game.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I mean that's fair.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's not dark though, is it our v it's not
our vetus a bonus, it's not you got a shot.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Patrick no.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Qualifies he was the first guy ever.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Everyone knows it's whimbe. I don't know, all right, I
was abouna say. I'm gonna give you guys an answer.
We'll move on. This is a really good one, mister
Yao Ming, first ever number one overall pick. But to
never play a game a minute a second on us soil.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Wait, yell Ming.
Speaker 8 (31:20):
He was a Houston Rocket though.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
But at the point is he didn't play a com play, got.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Drafted on overall.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Okay, all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
What was mar Shawn lynch Is twenty and eleven tackle
breaking touchdown called after cheering fans register it as a
minor earthquake. I'll give you guys the multiple.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't need it.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
I don't need it.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
This is one of the words you already know, one
of the worst of my sports life as a fan.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
All right, Patrick, good Martin. I hope you remember the
beast quake, baby, you know. I hope you remember that
at twelve win.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Or thirteen win New Orleans Saints you have to go
up and play seven and freaking eight shot Seahawks with Matt.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Oh my godt get started.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
I wonder what's worse that one, Martin or the Minneapolis
miracle Minnesota fact.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I don't like you at all.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Watch this one right here. You guys are gonna love
this question, right which is the only British Premier League
soccer team to go undefeated through an entire season the
league play Chelsea? Uh No, great, great guesses by both
of you guys, because they're part of a multiple choice.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
Barcelona.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
No Barcelona is they're not in the Premier League, Premier League,
dude league. It is a joke because we were talking
about soccer. It's Arsenal. Oh my god, but La City
Chester United, We're we're both on there. Oh, I love
this one, great one right here for you. All right,
with the Olympics coming up, here's the thing for this question.
How many gold medals did Michael Phelps win in the
(32:58):
two thousand and eight Baijen Summer Olympic Games. I'll give
you the multiple choice four medals, six gold medals, eight
gold medals or did he just kill it with twelve
gold medals?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Michael Phelps swimmer, Oh wait, being.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
Twelve. I was actually gonna say eight as well. Twelve.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Give me the bell for these two gentlemen. It's eight
baby eight gold made eight. I thought that was a
good one, being to the simple fact that he was
also on some of the relay teams too. He won
his individual events and then got gold and some of
the relay teams too. I like this one too. Right here, Martin,
you would probably know this one, but I'm not sure
if these other two people will. What expansion team joined
(33:41):
the NFL in nineteen ninety five along with the kerr
Lina Panthers.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
To Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Literally, I.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Thought I knew the do I know the whole history
of the British franchise, but I thought they moved back
to Cleveland and it was right around then.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Now Jacksonville makes sense.
Speaker 9 (34:13):
You know that's crazy. I wear their sweatshirt all the time.
I was just stop wearing it now.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I love this question right here, and this is gonna
get mark. Everybody watched Martin's face when I read this,
all right watching What European country established the first set
of rules for the sport curling in the sixteenth century.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I know you guys, notice but Martin knows how much
I love Curly.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I told you, guys, look at Martin face. I told
you guys, look.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
It's the hand gestures like he's just just giving up.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
It's Iceland, Scotland. Oh Man, you always got it.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
You always got in mess with mar y'alls got invest
with mar Man.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All right, Okay, this is another going to to.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Wrap up the segment.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
How many Russian yards the Lamar in the mass in
twenty nineteen, setting the single season NFL rushing record for
a quarterback? Was it nine hundred and six yards? Was
it one thy one hundred and six yards? Was it
one thousand and six yards? Or was it twelve hundred
and six yards?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I want to say twelve hundred I think it was.
Speaker 8 (35:18):
I'm going to say, see, I'm going to say, uh,
one zero zero six for Man.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
One zero zero six for you, Mary Mack, one zero
zero six?
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Wait is that?
Speaker 3 (35:26):
C Yes? My Saturday part and mart dan Wisse, what
do you got?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Mark? That the twelvel six d my friend does the
twelvel six? No, that was a good win though, right there?
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
It?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Is this done with the segment?
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (35:47):
That? No?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Well, Man, I don't up against the clock.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
You know, you sad that it was from ninety five
to ninety nine that the Browns didn't exist.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yes, but this was but ninety five, so I had
the wrong, the wrong.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, it was the Addie actually asking the expansion as
far as teams that expansion. So coming up next, we'll
talk about one of the original NFL teams doing something
never been done before.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
It's what is June sixth and.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Most of America back here in Los Angeles, we're still
dealing with America's hangover. Hopefully everybody got the day off
today on a Friday.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
There was no traffic for me flying in here, one
on one on one.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Baby, I had it, I had it at eighty, I
had it at eighty and the left and the left
leg What you mean I was filling in the same
I mean, it'll be the same time to get home
as I got there. What a Los Angeles?
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Why all right? HBO came out with the nd season.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
The offseason version of Hard Knocks had a little talk
at the Senior ball between Joe Shane and the GM
or what's oh gosh, what's his name, Dan Morgan, the
GM of the Carolina Panthers, and then you end up seeing,
you know, the kind of how the sucess was made
between that Brian's Burns trade.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
But VJ, you think this might be a little bit
too much, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 9 (37:29):
Man.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I love the NFL. I do. I love football. I
love the NFL, and you know the product they put
on the field. I know they're the big boys, They're
the kings of the business and sports. And I always
tell people that, man, NFL won't do it. They wigh
whether you like it or not. They're not changing for
anybody like they never have, and I don't think they
ever will. And I don't think people expect them to
or people you know, really want them to. I just
(37:49):
feel like the NFL is always trying to sell us
on something. When you have the purest of the peer
of sports. All you gotta do is line up eleven
guys on inside of the ball, Lina bong guys on
the other side of the ball, open all the sports bars,
make sure you got enough wings and nachosen beer and
fantasy football, and people are going to tune and you
don't have to sell.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Us on everything.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
And I feel like the NFL is forever trying to
pitch themselves to us. I really don't care about this
hard knocks, to be honest with you, and I'm probably
sure that might be shocking to you because I care
about everything football. But I think this can lead to
some bad things because this is the type of year.
This is the part of the year where you're talking
about the hard decisions that's got to be made. It
(38:33):
may come off disrespectful if you don't want to pay
this guy. We hear what's really said in some of
these meeting when these contracts come up and it's time
to either let a guy go I e. Sa Kwon
Barkley right and make a business decision. I just think
that this it feels like pillow talk, Like these athletes
all going on podcasts telling their business or retired players
now talking about who they was with. What girl do player?
Speaker 6 (38:57):
Girl?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
They't messing. I don't like none of that. Man that
to me, that ain't grown man. To me, I'm a
grown man. Dog like that. That's not my flavor. This
feels like that, This feels like it this really this
time of year, though, bro, I love it. I love
because you know why though.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
It gives you a little bit of insight in the
way that some of these NFL front officers think.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
And I said, don't we know already, Martin, No, I
don't really.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I'm shut up here trying to guess all the time,
Like imagine if they're imagine, I do, I like guess.
Like if this was the Atlanta Falcons in this scenario
right now, I bet we'd have a lot more insight
over the while they drafted Michael Penni's with the eighth
overall pick, right, they would at least have to say
something about it because it would be, you know, the
main topic of conversation, as I'm sure people would be like,
(39:39):
now what do we do? Yeah, I'm all in on this.
I really enjoyed the episode. I just don't know why
any NFL team would sign up to do it.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, well, okay, if you say that, that's kind of
where I guess I'm at now with it. It just
feels this part of the year, I think is the
part you want to keep probably the most private, because
once again, it's can't it can't be a good look
down the line. It just it just doesn't. You You
already see players that don't want nothing to do with
receiver and quarterback and what's gonna be next pass rusher,
(40:09):
what's gonna be? You know, they're never gonna do an
old line d line show, you know, but what's gonna
be next?
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Right?
Speaker 3 (40:13):
That receiver show did come out?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, receiver, baby, late receiver. They're coming out with receiver.
And you're having people say, yeah, man, I'm done with it,
like Travis Kelcey, mister coole, mister I wish I was
so cool. Oh I'm so over the reality believe Okay, yeah, brother, yeah, sure,
sure you are. You're a walking reality show. But I
just think, once again, the lead doesn't have to sell me.
The game is just enough. The draft, the free agency OTAs,
(40:36):
training camp.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Preseason, the inner workings.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
I want to see how the sausage is made, which
you don't oh, yes you don't. Yes, no the hell
you don't, and Bernie Fratto will teach you how the
sausages make.
