What up stick?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Hello, Good morning to you, good afternoon to some of you, or.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Should I say app? We are off and running here
on the college football weekend. We've got a lot of
college football that we want to touch on, but we
must go back to the most immediate. We want most
immediate result from the college football opening weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Which fingerprints going. Just say this.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I know everybody wants to look at and say, well,
first full weekend of college football. I demand respect for
week zero and I will continue to pound that drum
every single year. All right, those schools deserve respect. And
do not throw shade at those Rainbow Warriors from Hawaii
who in that game U C l A after winning
their first game.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
It's okay to lose the Rainbow Warriors these days, do
you know what I mean? It's more that's a great point,
you know, it's more of a societal thing. I didn't
even think about that.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You're right, they used to get you.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
They used to get you hard to have it lot
to a rainbow. If you throw shade at him, yo,
you won't be allowed around anymore. So they're in the
driver's seat.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Actually, damn USC USC LSU was a fantastic football game
last night in I think, and I don't know if
you felt the same way, but I was just under
the impression that with if you struggled with Kayla Williams,
what the hell were they going to look like without him,
(02:31):
And it actually looked like a team that was not
afraid to be physical. They were physical, yeah, Like it
was a real dog fight against LSU.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And they ended up winning the game.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
And they played defense, something that they obviously hadn't done
and quite some time. So the move at the defensive
coordinator's position obviously played dividends because it was defense that
allowed them to stay in the game and close enough
to be able to win a tight, tightly played game,
(03:03):
you know, against LSU. I didn't think that they had
I did not think that USC had it in them
to win Week one against the LSU.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I came away from the game that I have more
question marks on how good can LSU be? Should we
just chalk this up to this was a week one
deal where they were susceptible to a loss if they
played against a quality opponent. Because it's so early, we
(03:34):
saw so much sloppy play. I can ultimately say we
saw a lot of sloppy play in the Penn State
game against West Virginia. I mean, this is generally the
week when we talk about you know, scrimmages, you know,
for the pros, and you're able to get out there
and you're able to play, and the game doesn't mean anything,
(03:54):
whereas in college every game matters, and even with the
expanded place layoff, all these games still matter because you're
playing for bye weeks, you're you're playing for so many
different things, home field advantage, there's just so much at
stake this year in college football. But there are teams
that are accepting the challenge of creating a strength to schedule,
(04:18):
and you see matchups like this in Week one, which
I thought was it's amazing for college football. I mean,
I don't know what the ratings were on that game Zonus,
but I can imagine that it was pretty high.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, that would be a little bit difficult considering that,
you know, Disney and DirecTV decided, you know what, why
don't we go ahead and get into a little bit
of a pissing match over the contract, and so many
people weren't able to say we weren't able to see
usc LSU or the US open for that match. Yeah,
(04:56):
because they went on and uh and realized, oh, I
didn't know that our parents were fight, so that's nice.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So he walked in. I can certainly bet.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I can bet that people found ways to watch that game. Yeah,
I mean, I just maybe it hurt the ratings for
certain well, but I would also say this though, and
like not even just the rate, because who the.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Hell knows what the number is going to end up being,
because it was a great game and for those that
got to watch it, I mean, you got to see
a really fun game.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Definitely was a four quarter game. Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But it's just it's funny when these cable providers and
these networks decide they're going to go ahead and drop
this on everybody, because like, nobody was aware that there
was some sort of a dispute, or at least most
people weren't aware there was a dispute until they went
to go turn on that game last night and realized, oh,
I'm screwed. And it's funny how they pick this week
(05:51):
of all weeks to where they're like, okay, well, if
you don't want to work with us and you don't
like the numbers that were offering. You know, there's been
statements back and forth of whose fault it is, but
nonethe last it was a great game that maybe some
people didn't get to see because again, their parents were
fighting and Direct TV and Disney and whatever other issues
(06:11):
were going on. We're playing out before everybody else who
was trying to watch a football game, especially on a
holiday weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I'll say this with.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
USC, I know everybody's celebrating it, and they're looking at
like man Miller Moss and the way he performed was
a big storyline.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I mean listened like.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
He was waited his turn, you know, got it, finally
got his opportunity. You know, we saw glimpses of it
in the in the bowl game last year. He comes
out and I mean he was he was making plays. Yeah,
he was delivering the ball, he was he was making
plays where he needed to make the plays. I mean,
it wasn't an offensive explosion. It wasn't like, you know,
(06:51):
it was like the craziest of accomplishments by him or
this USC offense. But what I will say is they
look to come out and compete and be, you know,
be very competitive against a team that was a thirteenth
ranked team. Now, as we've heard from Q, sometimes you
(07:16):
look at these these these rankings and these ratings and
you create an expectation a standard for that team and
maybe preseason wise, looking at it from the recruiting aspect
of it. Who they've gotten out of the portal, what
they were able to do in offering scholarships to high
school players, how many players they have coming back. You know,
(07:39):
you look at LSU and you were anticipating at thirteen
that they should really be too much for USC team
at this point in the season, and they weren't. And
so for me, I look at it from the standpoint of, man,
does this mean that now where I felt as though
(08:01):
this is this is me coming into this season, the
inaugural year in the Big Ten. How competitive can these
PAC twelve teams be, these former PAC twelve teams be
in the Big Ten? I think I think USC had
to had the biggest game to prove to the onlookers
(08:24):
out there that the PAC twelve can indeed not only
integrate into the Big ten, but actually be competitive in
the Big Ten. I think that this sent shock waves
through the Big ten community because I don't know that
anyone was looking at USC as being one of those
teams that could possibly be a problem in the Big Ten.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And look, because to your point, it is week one
and maybe we look back six weeks from now, after
USC's gotten ripped in half by a couple of big
ten teams and go, okay, well it was just that
one game and.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Maybe maybe unless you is that's why it just left
you feeling like there were question marks coming out of
that game. But you don't want to take away from
the value of what both of these teams are top
twenty five rated teams.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, and can you take that away from it?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And so with USC and if you just look at
their like keeping it locally out here in La, if
you just looked at USC and UCLA's schedule this year,
UCLA's got the harder schedule by far, It's not even close.
And you see USC, who's got some winnable games down
the stretch.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So this is a big win for them. It's one
of the bigger games of the season for them. Get
them off and running.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I think it maybe changes a discussion about some narratives
about USC football and what they look like now as
opposed to years past. So it feels like it's a
feel good moment for USC and Trojan fans following the
departure of Caleb Williams and now this team looks to
be off and running for the year twenty twenty four
and then there's LSU and then Brian Kelly, who's.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Me and my family ying I'm winning.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, well he's well, they're done winning week one, that's
for sure. They're now oh and three winning in week
one oh and three to open up the season at
LSU for Brian Kelly, and this one, you could tell
kind of rubbed him the wrong way.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Here was the LSU coach. Afterwards, we're sitting here again.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
We're sitting here again talking about the same things about
not finishing when you have an opponent in a position
to put them away. But what we're doing on the
sideline is feeling like the game's over, and I'm so
angry about it that I got to do something about it.
(10:36):
I'm not doing a good enough job as a coach,
and I got to coach him better because it's unacceptable
for us not to have found a way to win
this football game.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Now that's a threat Jonas, Oh, yeah, he threatened all
every single player, every single coach, every single member of
that team that was on that sideline. Who it is
that he identified doing, What it is that he just
said they were doing.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm trying to figure out which part he thought that
they all were pretending like they lost, because when they
got the ball back after.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
The no, they were pretending like they lost. They were
pretending like they won. Listen to him again, Play it
one more time. Listen to it again. Unless I heard
it wrong.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
We're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about
the same things about not finishing when you have an
opponent in a position to put them away. But what
we're doing on the sideline is feeling like the game's over.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, oh, I got so angry about it. So there
you go. Stop it right there, Stop it right there.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
He's basically saying, y'all, SOBS did just enough for us
to be in position to win. And I'm telling you
when they showed his face after USC got that last
that lass uh scoring drive to take the lead, his
(12:05):
face was so disgusted and so dejected. He did not
care about the camera seeing his face. He did not
care about any type of any fallout that would come.
His face told the entire story like you knew and
for what is worth, For what's worth, Jonas, maybe you
(12:29):
needed to fix your your face and fix your posture
and and what you look like now, granted there was
only like eight seconds left. There was only like eight
two seconds left. Yeah, it's over, but you still as
the leader. You gotta go down fighting here. Don't have
that trash face like you ate something some dudo out
(12:51):
of the trash. Fix your face, don't come up, don't
come up on on the camera street like. It ain't
like you gonna make a for everybody to see in
the nation. It ain't my fault.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We lost. By the way.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
At one of the great lines in a movie, one
of my favorite lines, Tom cruises and Vanilla's guy, He's
got this deformed face and some drunken a hole walks
behind him. Dude face.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
That's what somebody needed to say.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's the meanest thing you could ever say to somebody
with a real problem. And if I were there and
like watching my hands in the bathroom, I would have
laughed so hard I would have grabbed myself. That is
just an unbelievably terrible thing to say to somebody. But
back on the subject of l s U, this is
what I wonder And look, everybody wants to you know,
week one, you all want to come out and have
(13:47):
a great performance. I remember Frank Reich when he was
in the NFL, he had a horrific Week one record,
Like it was like they lost. If I'm not mistaken,
he lost every single Week one that he coached in
the NFL. And that's Indianapolis. That's his short time in
Carolina before he realized this organization stinks and I'm just
(14:08):
going to go play golf f this. But I look
at it and I go I wonder if part of
Brian Kelly's frustration is like now there's like this narrative
building with him that if you don't have your team
ready for Week one, what does that say about you?
Because Frank Wright got really frustrated towards the end when
the conversation was always about you guys seem to start
(14:30):
off slow.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
You're always losing Week one, and it's.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Almost like it's a reflection of the coach, like, am
I not getting these guys prepared to play? Because this
is three years in a row they've come out Week
one and they've been close games. And to his point,
they were in control there and couldn't get a stop
down the stretch and Moss went up and down the
field on them at will, And I just wonder how
much of that is a reflection, and yeah, a team's
(14:55):
performance is all a coach's reflection. But I wonder if
it's again we're having this discussion about me not having
these guys ready for week one.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I mean, ultimately, that's what it's going to come down
to in the annals, right, is that Brian Kelly is
not able to get them done or get it done
that way, have them ready for week one. Now, again,
it leaves a lot of question marks for both teams.
How good is USC, how good is LSU? If I'm LSU,
(15:24):
it could work in your favor even though you're behind
the eight ball immediately out the gate, it could work
to your advantage just by pure circumstance of this being
a part of an extended and a larger playoff pool.
But make no mistake about it, the amount of pressure
(15:48):
and intensity of possible fallout on losing a week one
game and you're at a major Power five school an
SEC school, that's not a good look for your coach.
I mean, we have conversations about Ryan Day or James Franklin,
who lose one game. One game. We're talking about one game.
(16:14):
They might lose one game, and we're talking about they're
on the hot seat to get fired if they can't
win this one game. So, when you're talking about a
team like LSU that has the type of tradition connected
to them, they have national titles, they've had Nick Saban,
they've had great coaches. Les Miles came in there and
(16:34):
drop one on them. You're looking at a guy who
is the winningest coach in Notre Dame history. And you
take on this job where the resources are supposed to
be so vast for you to be able to build
the team that you want to have.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You've been there long enough to do this.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Why are you not coming out and dominating in LSU
fashion and form? And don't give me the doodoo face
like it's somebody else's fault. Don't try to don't try
to deflect it by what you're saying in the postgame
meeting for self preservation.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He really he does have a good Dodo face, though
it's really good. Married at it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Oh man, it was such a disgusted look. It's like, man,
who did it? Like who messed this up? And what
happened to the Cajun accent? Just go way after you
and when you got one foot out the door because
they forcing you out. That Cajun accent has to go
because you might not be able to get another good job,
a job interview if you go to one of the
(17:34):
schools that's going to hire you. When when they kick
your ass up out of LSU.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I mean, hey, that's why I'll give True Detective.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
The first season, those guys carried that accent all those
other characters all the way through the year.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Brian Kelly lost it after like an hour and a half.
Hey man, they send him on his way from LSU.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
How's sound with his family that things want to turn
into Yes, me and my family would like to vacate
the premises of Baton Rouge. We are now not enjoying
our stay here as guest of you pleasant people that
have not been very pleasant to us.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Like get us to a golf course, johnson Ley said.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Thought I was a football coach, but me and my
family thought otherwise. It's time for us to go somewhere else.
Forget y'all. Y'all Caju in accents. Maybe I can't communicate
with y'all clearly enough to get the game planned, and
I've been trying to give y'all.

it the way I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Who break Breakfast Club song? Which one of that which
eighties man, is that Don't You Forget About Me? Damn
it's a good song too. This is also this is
audio slave. Okay, Now, Rage against the Machine nice.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Okay, for those of you listening on the podcast, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
All right, it is the Herd here on Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox in for Colin coming up in,
we'll call it. About twenty minutes from now, you're going
to hear some unfortunate news for one player in the NFL.
Unfortunate but fortunate. We've got the details on that for
you again, about twenty minutes from now, so when the
NFL announced that they were because I don't know if
(20:24):
anybody's aware this, the season kicks off later on this week.
So we've got Thursday night you've got the Chiefs and
you've got the Ravens that'll kick off the year, and
then Friday you've got the game in Brazil, which, look
we talked about on our show, Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe, which you can hear weekday morning, six
am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific, just a little earlier
than this show, a little bit earlier myself, LeVar, and
(20:48):
he was that guy's name, Brady Quinn though, oh yeah,
swinging d Yeah, the big noon kickoff show.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Damn batter up.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
But you can hear us and we talked out when
this game was announced, Like, man, who wouldn't want to
go to Brazil? Like I mean for an NFL game, Like,
let's like sign us up, we'll go there, we'll work remote,
we'll do it from you know, we'd like to pick
the establishment to do it from the But the point
is get over to Brazil. That'd be a good time.
Who wouldn't want to be a part of it? Well,
apparently the Philadelphia Eagles don't want to be a part
(21:19):
of it. Like that's a problem. Players are not happy
about it. They are not excited at all. Now, maybe
this is all just a front so that they're better
has you know, aren't worried about them going over to
Brazil and not make it a back.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
I don't think it's a front, and I think it's
a very serious approach because their uniforms kind of tell
you and confirm that that they're not taking this this
whole thing lightly in terms of what the possibilities of
what could play out in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Tell you what, though, I'd love to go play in Brazil.
You don't know why, Well, because my eyes work, that's why. Okay,
And that dog hunts, if you know what I mean.
You know, the point is they're going to be under
such such watch bro. I mean, listen, there's there's always
going to be duce that's going to do what they're
going to do and be who they're going to be.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I mean, there's under service. I wonder what I wonder
what the over under is going to be on.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Dudes that get caught up like where they got robbed
or did something that got them sent home from the trip.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
I wonder what the over under we're fell in love again?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
You know, like, hey, tell the wife and kids, I
ain't never coming back and never coming home.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Where's mom at?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Put mom on the phone the baby, Yeah, I ain't
never coming back.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Like postcard from South Paulo And next thing, you know,
you know, Christmas got cheaper.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
But the point is, whatever happened to that one player
that played for the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You've never seen for or heard from them again, because
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
He's like big into jiu jitsu now for some reason,
do you know what happened love soccer? He's really been
to it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
He may revisit the NFL, just in a different capacity.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So so the Eagles are not happy about it. Nick
Sirianni the coach of the Eagles, spoke with reporters about
you know how he's trying to get his team focused
and prepared and ready and with a different mindset as
they approach Friday's game.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
We're going there to play and win a win a
football game. That's our that's our goal. That's our you know,
our only goal as we go down there. And so
you know, it's just putting, it's just getting everybody in
the right mindset of what you want, what you need
to be when you go down there. It's like, uh,
you can control the things that you can control. Like,
(23:48):
we're going to Brazil to play. That's that's what it is.
And we're excited about that. We're excited about the opportunity
to to play in a neutral site, knowing that you know,
and they have a different, slightly different schedule of things
that happen.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I mean, they can try and pretty this up all
they want, and well, listen, logistically, you know, to start
off the year, it makes more sense, You've got more
travel time, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
It never makes any sense. That's that's kind of a
crap way to start off the year. It never makes
any sense to have to travel abroad, travel far to play,
especially if you're playing a game that counts, and it
just it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Like.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Is that a great play by the NFL to try
to expand span the game, expand the borders. Sure it
is introduce it to a different market. Sure, but is
it a hassle for the the franchise on why not
do a preseason game? That's it makes more sense. I
(24:46):
remember when we went to Osaka, Japan. It was a
preseason game. It was a preseason game. The game didn't count,
make it more of an exhibition. But to play games,
meaningful games that that count torture record. I don't know,
And I feel like lately I've been more of a
critic of the decisions that I see coming from the
(25:08):
league offices. I don't want to come across as I'm
a critic because I'm a tremendous supporter of the Shield
and what they represent, what they do in a lot
of ways. But I wouldn't be doing my job correctly
if I didn't say the things that I felt when
I felt them when I'm saying them, And in this moment,
I just feel like there's certain things that you're talking
(25:29):
about two really really good franchises with really really strong
fan bases. And I know you're looking at from the
standpoint like they'll travel and stuff like that, but you
really just cheat at one of these teams out of
having a home game and the fans the onlookers a
lot of times, and I think we learned this during COVID.
(25:50):
The venues matter for the for the creation of the
show itself, because when you don't have that COVID showed us,
if you don't have fans in thiss and you don't
have that noise, and you don't have the pageantry connected
to these games, it just doesn't It's like watching a
movie with no music. It's like the storyline of it,
(26:13):
the flow of it is just all messed up. The
energy of it is kind of messed up. So to me,
what's the energy going to look like in sal Polo?
What's that what's that stadium really going to feel like
to to the onlookers and to the players specifically the players, Like,
I know, you're going to draw attention from your fans
(26:35):
that have traveled there, but again, there's still nothing like
one of those teams getting to say we're in Lambeau
or we're at the Link and this is our season opener,
Like there's something to be said about that being in
a neutral place in a foreign country. I just don't
think that that's gonna hit. It's not going to hit
that way.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Like if you did a preseason game, like and this
is no disrespect to you know, the people listen in
Brazil on the iHeartRadio app, But if you did a
preseason game, like they don't get the NFL, like it
doesn't go there to play games, So you could present
them a preseason game and it'd be real fine, Like
nobody's going to be like I'm not going to go
(27:15):
see the Eagles and Packers. It's like it's a preseason game. Like, no,
they're going to go because there's an NFL game there.
Like you're gonna draw a crowd.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
You probably have to say there's going to be a
relevant soccer exhibition match at halftime of the game to
damn to get the local population to want to go. Yeah,
I mean they be like there's a game. What type
of game? Football? A soccer game?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
No? No, like football, like soccer game?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
No, like football, you know, like football, Like, oh, it's
a soccer game like, no, no, it's.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Like that game they play in America. Yeah, like when
people get tackled, they really get tackled.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Like you've never seen this before. Like let me go
on YouTube and show you, like, look, this is what
it is. This is what's coming here.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But they would show up, like if you did a
preseason game, they would like they would and also as
it's a spectacle, yes right, like and plus I would
venture to guess in the middle of training camp for
a preseason game, these players would be way.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
More open to go into Brazil.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I'm sure because it doesn't matter. Yes, but this game matters.
You have to be doaled in. That means that the
way that they're going to monitor you is going to
be dowed in. This is a game. This is a
game situation. This is a work trip. You're not there
as preseason. You know, we can choose some flower seats
(28:40):
and send ball boys over to talk to people in
the stands for for you, Like, this isn't that type
of Some of them still might do it anyway, but
this isn't not supposed to be that type of trip.
This is a real trip. If you did so, I'm
not putting my phone number And I'm not saying that
this is what players do or anything, but I'm not
putting my phone number are on like a game pair
(29:01):
of worn gloves and like sending them over to you know,
a fan in the in the stands that are are
a worthy recipient of your your game worn gloves that
have your phone number, your you know, your what's that called?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
What's that your WhatsApp? You know you don't.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You don't put your WhatsApp information on that hand that
you used for the game.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
That glove you would do that.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
No, you don't do that, especially when it's a real
game that matters and that accounts like you don't put
you know, your your WhatsApp on like you know a
game warn say, I don't know a towel that you wore,
like streaming towel, make sure your hands are dry and
stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
You know, just don't do that. And you don't give.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
It to the ball boy or to one of the
guys that handle the equipment or the video the visual
things that you use. You just do not incorporate them
into being able to disseminate those those gifts to the fans.
You know, your give back to the community, to expand
(30:06):
you know the fandom in Brazil. Yeah, you just you
know that in regular season game. I wouldn't do it,
that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Now I wonder if I would.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I definitely would not partake in that again again again,
So what uh?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
No, only one time.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Here's here's what I'm fascinated to see though, because like
Major League Baseball did this to where they sent the
Dodgers and the Padres over to Japan to open up
the air. But what they did was they sent him
over for like a two game series and they came
back and they concluded spring training. They didn't send him
over and then all right, games three and four next up,
and you guys just got to go play. I'm fascinated
(30:51):
to see how green Bay and Philly doing Week two,
Like I'd love to see what the hangover effect is
because green Bay's at home against Indianapolis and Philly at least,
and that's on a Sunday. In Week two, Philly at
least gets an extra day they've gotten Monday and night
against the Falcons at home. I'm really curious to see
how they look coming off this trip to Brazil, because
(31:13):
I know the NFL wants money and they want all
this stuff. I can't imagine if this goes poorly and
these teams really struggle after the fact and they've got
to start off the year like this, that the NFL
goes down this road again, like maybe some adjustments, but
I just think a preseason game week makes way much
more sense.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And there for a reason. And now granted they haven't
been back to Osaka, Japan. I think you tried to
integrate and penetrate a market and if it works, then
you build on that. If it doesn't work, then you tried,
what's the next market up, which is the next one
that we could try to integrate in that may be receptive,
(31:54):
more receptive, more of a growth opportunity, because again I
think all of the all of the plans that we're
saying take place, with the equity groups and different things
like that, being able to buy into franchises and stuff
like that, they're clearly trying to create new money and
(32:14):
more revenue opportunities, more more business that increases the bottom
line for the National Football League.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
There's also this as well too. The president of Brazil
has banned the use of X out there, so like
anybody you know, like for us watching on some can
affect us for us watching on television. I mean, unless
you know Direct TV and you know, somebody else gets
into a pissing match again and they just shut off
all the TVs for us to watch, like they did
last night. But apparently they've banned X because they want
(32:46):
Elon Musk to adjust free speech rules, and he's saying, no,
that's the foundation of what we do here.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
It's free speech.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
And so anybody going to cover the game cannot use
X to provide updates. So we'll get to watch all
the same. But then anybody cover and I guess if
you use a VPN to try and access it, you're
gonna get fined almost nine thousand dollars if you try
and go on X.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
So if you know what, they're going to arrest you
if you use it if you don't pay the fine.
I no, no, I'm not ever coming back to this place.
So your fine.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I'll tell you this much. They might not let you
fly up out of there, though.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Anybody anybody going over there was looking for, you know,
an out as to why maybe it came back late.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
There's you're out. I tried, listen, honey, I don't have
to tell you I ended up extra time.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I mean, I was trying to take a picture of this,
I say, e bowl and post it to X. Next thing,
you know, I'm in cuffs nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
And there's like three months I had to stay here
for like and you know what, they gave me six
months community service and they said I couldn't leave until
I service at least six months of community.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
And listen, I don't know how this lipsticks staying got
on my jeans, Okay, I can't explain that. You got
to take it up with the proper author parties here.
So there you go. There's you're out for anything cleaning
up the good streets of South Plow.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
What we do?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
No, it is uh somebody stumbled and was thanking me
and it ended up being some lipstick on the side
of my leg.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Oh man.

This is the Herd Line.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
News. All right, boll, what do we got?
Speaker 10 (35:48):
That's right, guys. San Francisco forty nine Ers rookie wide
receiver Ricky Piersoll was released from the hospital on Sunday,
one day after being shot in the chest during an
attempted robbery while walking to the union station after an
autograph signing event.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Glad to hear he's doing okay, man, Like these some
of these people got You got to do better, man,
you gotta do better. Well, you're trying jackum for what
they said for his watch or something, Rolex so stid relax.
So a life, A life was less than a watch
to you. Huh yeah, I hope they put them dudes,
(36:24):
like under the jail.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
There's one guy, a seventeen year old just walked up
to him with a gun and uh, he got shot
through the chest, went out his back.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I guess he's out of the hospital and recovering.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
But that on top of the fact he's been dealing
with his shoulder issue that he had that dates back
to college. Like, it's just not it's just not gotten
off to a great start for Ricky Pierce.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
You're doing a signing.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
It's not even like you were doing something where you'd
be like, dude, like make sure your surroundings are okay,
make sure you have the proper protection, this, that, and
the other.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Like the dude was doing a signing and.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I guess he walked, So he went to Union Square
to go do some shopping afterwards, and just three thirty
in the after like we're talking like three point thirty
in the morning, after he left a club and broad daylight,
some guy walks up to him with a handcanon trying
to get his watch off him, like I just don't
and used it, yes, and used it like I don't
(37:21):
what are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
You know, I don't know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (37:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Shot, I'm glad he's okay, though.
Speaker 10 (37:28):
Shot in the chest is just so scary to here.
So glad he's doing well. And he was trying to
take him up out of here. I mean, you've shot
him in his chest, you're trying, like you try and
take him up at him.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
And I also wonder this as well too, like and
he recovered and don't recover physically and all of that,
but emotionally.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Yeah, Oh that's that PTSD from net you know, come on,
he's going to have to deal with that.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
For the rest of his life.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, so I do wonder. And it's also a bad
reflection of, you know, the city. It's a bad reflection
of you know a lot of the narratives about the city.
And there's a guy three thirty in the afternoon, walk
into his car, gets shot in the chest.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Before his watch. Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
This wasn't like no personal beef or anything like that.
Just I need that watch. Come up off that watch
at three thirty.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Yeah, not ideal. Uh. The Los Angeles Rams are hiring
former Nebraska head coach Scott Frost to a senior football
analyst role with the team.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Frost was sixteen and thirty one at Nebraska as a
head coach, but he was successful at UCF and as
an assistant at Oregon. So he'll be in the NFL now.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
By the way he like, it became almost a joke that.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Matt rule your guy, Matt rule of oar, the guy
used to bully at Penn State. Yeah, I didn't bully
so the UH used to wear them out.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
That we didn't bang him up in practice, so we
didn't bully him with good people.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
And uh no, he's been on Fox Sports Radio. He's
friends with Anthony Gargano, Fox Sports radio host, and he
used to come on the weekends and doing interviews with
Gargano and he's Matt Rules awesome, and so he kind
of got labeled this as well too because Scott Frost
lost so many close games and Nebraska to where like
bo his record sixteen and thirty yes, thirty one, Like
(39:16):
we're talking like single possession games that could have gone
either way, and that's a completely different looking record. But
he's like the case case example of guy who was
that's his place, that's Nebraska. He went back there, he
was being celebrated and it just went terribly and it
almost I wonder how many people look at they.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Were looking at the way he was like clock managing
and stuff like. There were there were a lot of
criticisms if I recall correctly. Yeah, that was coming his
way in terms of how his reputation began to e
wrote there.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
But you know that's one.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Thing that for me, I I don't know, man, like, Okay,
it ended up working out for uh, you know, Michigan
coach now ended up working out for him. But I
would never want to risk my reputation and what it
represents as a player and what I've represented to that
(40:11):
community about going in there being a coach.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yeah, I wonder if if people saw that and were like,
I don't know, I'd rather.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
There's going to be more people that remember Scott Frost
as the coach that messed up than the player that didn't.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
He win the Heisman. Great player. I can't close something
like that.
Speaker 10 (40:28):
I wonder, I wonder what happened if you gave Scott
Frost a quarterback like doing Royola who's doing his best
Patrick Maholmes in person that.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
He looks just like my particular Yeah, he's like he's
leaning into it.
Speaker 10 (40:43):
Yeah he has to be. There's no way he's not.
He's wearing the headband, he's got the coach.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
I just like him.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
I remember when Eminem got popular. I had a buddy
of mine who tried that out, and I was like, yeah,
did it work?
Speaker 3 (40:53):
No no, no, no, didn't work, no no no, but
everyone tried.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
I mean, you know that if you were able to
dopplegang somebody, that you'd be able to

What up stick?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Hello, Good morning to you, good afternoon to some of you, or.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Should I say app? We are off and running here
on the college football weekend. We've got a lot of
college football that we want to touch on, but we
must go back to the most immediate. We want most
immediate result from the college football opening weekend.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Which fingerprints going. Just say this.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I know everybody wants to look at and say, well,
first full weekend of college football. I demand respect for
week zero and I will continue to pound that drum
every single year. All right, those schools deserve respect. And
do not throw shade at those Rainbow Warriors from Hawaii
who in that game U C l A after winning
their first game.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
It's okay to lose the Rainbow Warriors these days, do
you know what I mean? It's more that's a great point,
you know, it's more of a societal thing. I didn't
even think about that.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You're right, they used to get you.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
They used to get you hard to have it lot
to a rainbow. If you throw shade at him, yo,
you won't be allowed around anymore. So they're in the
driver's seat.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Actually, damn USC USC LSU was a fantastic football game
last night in I think, and I don't know if
you felt the same way, but I was just under
the impression that with if you struggled with Kayla Williams,
what the hell were they going to look like without him,
(02:31):
And it actually looked like a team that was not
afraid to be physical. They were physical, yeah, Like it
was a real dog fight against LSU.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
And they ended up winning the game.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
And they played defense, something that they obviously hadn't done
and quite some time. So the move at the defensive
coordinator's position obviously played dividends because it was defense that
allowed them to stay in the game and close enough
to be able to win a tight, tightly played game,
(03:03):
you know, against LSU. I didn't think that they had
I did not think that USC had it in them
to win Week one against the LSU.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I came away from the game that I have more
question marks on how good can LSU be? Should we
just chalk this up to this was a week one
deal where they were susceptible to a loss if they
played against a quality opponent. Because it's so early, we
(03:34):
saw so much sloppy play. I can ultimately say we
saw a lot of sloppy play in the Penn State
game against West Virginia. I mean, this is generally the
week when we talk about you know, scrimmages, you know,
for the pros, and you're able to get out there
and you're able to play, and the game doesn't mean anything,
(03:54):
whereas in college every game matters, and even with the
expanded place layoff, all these games still matter because you're
playing for bye weeks, you're you're playing for so many
different things, home field advantage, there's just so much at
stake this year in college football. But there are teams
that are accepting the challenge of creating a strength to schedule,
(04:18):
and you see matchups like this in Week one, which
I thought was it's amazing for college football. I mean,
I don't know what the ratings were on that game Zonus,
but I can imagine that it was pretty high.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, that would be a little bit difficult considering that,
you know, Disney and DirecTV decided, you know what, why
don't we go ahead and get into a little bit
of a pissing match over the contract, and so many
people weren't able to say we weren't able to see
usc LSU or the US open for that match. Yeah,
(04:56):
because they went on and uh and realized, oh, I
didn't know that our parents were fight, so that's nice.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So he walked in. I can certainly bet.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I can bet that people found ways to watch that game. Yeah,
I mean, I just maybe it hurt the ratings for
certain well, but I would also say this though, and
like not even just the rate, because who the.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Hell knows what the number is going to end up being,
because it was a great game and for those that
got to watch it, I mean, you got to see
a really fun game.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Definitely was a four quarter game. Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But it's just it's funny when these cable providers and
these networks decide they're going to go ahead and drop
this on everybody, because like, nobody was aware that there
was some sort of a dispute, or at least most
people weren't aware there was a dispute until they went
to go turn on that game last night and realized, oh,
I'm screwed. And it's funny how they pick this week
(05:51):
of all weeks to where they're like, okay, well, if
you don't want to work with us and you don't
like the numbers that were offering. You know, there's been
statements back and forth of whose fault it is, but
nonethe last it was a great game that maybe some
people didn't get to see because again, their parents were
fighting and Direct TV and Disney and whatever other issues
(06:11):
were going on. We're playing out before everybody else who
was trying to watch a football game, especially on a
holiday weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I'll say this with.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
USC, I know everybody's celebrating it, and they're looking at
like man Miller Moss and the way he performed was
a big storyline.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I mean listened like.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
He was waited his turn, you know, got it, finally
got his opportunity. You know, we saw glimpses of it
in the in the bowl game last year. He comes
out and I mean he was he was making plays. Yeah,
he was delivering the ball, he was he was making
plays where he needed to make the plays. I mean,
it wasn't an offensive explosion. It wasn't like, you know,
(06:51):
it was like the craziest of accomplishments by him or
this USC offense. But what I will say is they
look to come out and compete and be, you know,
be very competitive against a team that was a thirteenth
ranked team. Now, as we've heard from Q, sometimes you
(07:16):
look at these these these rankings and these ratings and
you create an expectation a standard for that team and
maybe preseason wise, looking at it from the recruiting aspect
of it. Who they've gotten out of the portal, what
they were able to do in offering scholarships to high
school players, how many players they have coming back. You know,
(07:39):
you look at LSU and you were anticipating at thirteen
that they should really be too much for USC team
at this point in the season, and they weren't. And
so for me, I look at it from the standpoint of, man,
does this mean that now where I felt as though
(08:01):
this is this is me coming into this season, the
inaugural year in the Big Ten. How competitive can these
PAC twelve teams be, these former PAC twelve teams be
in the Big Ten? I think I think USC had
to had the biggest game to prove to the onlookers
(08:24):
out there that the PAC twelve can indeed not only
integrate into the Big ten, but actually be competitive in
the Big Ten. I think that this sent shock waves
through the Big ten community because I don't know that
anyone was looking at USC as being one of those
teams that could possibly be a problem in the Big Ten.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And look, because to your point, it is week one
and maybe we look back six weeks from now, after
USC's gotten ripped in half by a couple of big
ten teams and go, okay, well it was just that
one game and.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Maybe maybe unless you is that's why it just left
you feeling like there were question marks coming out of
that game. But you don't want to take away from
the value of what both of these teams are top
twenty five rated teams.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, and can you take that away from it?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And so with USC and if you just look at
their like keeping it locally out here in La, if
you just looked at USC and UCLA's schedule this year,
UCLA's got the harder schedule by far, It's not even close.
And you see USC, who's got some winnable games down
the stretch.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So this is a big win for them. It's one
of the bigger games of the season for them. Get
them off and running.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I think it maybe changes a discussion about some narratives
about USC football and what they look like now as
opposed to years past. So it feels like it's a
feel good moment for USC and Trojan fans following the
departure of Caleb Williams and now this team looks to
be off and running for the year twenty twenty four
and then there's LSU and then Brian Kelly, who's.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Me and my family ying I'm winning.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, well he's well, they're done winning week one, that's
for sure. They're now oh and three winning in week
one oh and three to open up the season at
LSU for Brian Kelly, and this one, you could tell
kind of rubbed him the wrong way.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Here was the LSU coach. Afterwards, we're sitting here again.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
We're sitting here again talking about the same things about
not finishing when you have an opponent in a position
to put them away. But what we're doing on the
sideline is feeling like the game's over, and I'm so
angry about it that I got to do something about it.
(10:36):
I'm not doing a good enough job as a coach,
and I got to coach him better because it's unacceptable
for us not to have found a way to win
this football game.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Now that's a threat Jonas, Oh, yeah, he threatened all
every single player, every single coach, every single member of
that team that was on that sideline. Who it is
that he identified doing, What it is that he just
said they were doing.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I'm trying to figure out which part he thought that
they all were pretending like they lost, because when they
got the ball back after.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
The no, they were pretending like they lost. They were
pretending like they won. Listen to him again, Play it
one more time. Listen to it again. Unless I heard
it wrong.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
We're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about
the same things about not finishing when you have an
opponent in a position to put them away. But what
we're doing on the sideline is feeling like the game's over.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, oh, I got so angry about it. So there
you go. Stop it right there, Stop it right there.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
He's basically saying, y'all, SOBS did just enough for us
to be in position to win. And I'm telling you
when they showed his face after USC got that last
that lass uh scoring drive to take the lead, his
(12:05):
face was so disgusted and so dejected. He did not
care about the camera seeing his face. He did not
care about any type of any fallout that would come.
His face told the entire story like you knew and
for what is worth, For what's worth, Jonas, maybe you
(12:29):
needed to fix your your face and fix your posture
and and what you look like now, granted there was
only like eight seconds left. There was only like eight
two seconds left. Yeah, it's over, but you still as
the leader. You gotta go down fighting here. Don't have
that trash face like you ate something some dudo out
(12:51):
of the trash. Fix your face, don't come up, don't
come up on on the camera street like. It ain't
like you gonna make a for everybody to see in
the nation. It ain't my fault.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We lost. By the way.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
At one of the great lines in a movie, one
of my favorite lines, Tom cruises and Vanilla's guy, He's
got this deformed face and some drunken a hole walks
behind him. Dude face.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
That's what somebody needed to say.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's the meanest thing you could ever say to somebody
with a real problem. And if I were there and
like watching my hands in the bathroom, I would have
laughed so hard I would have grabbed myself. That is
just an unbelievably terrible thing to say to somebody. But
back on the subject of l s U, this is
what I wonder And look, everybody wants to you know,
week one, you all want to come out and have
(13:47):
a great performance. I remember Frank Reich when he was
in the NFL, he had a horrific Week one record,
Like it was like they lost. If I'm not mistaken,
he lost every single Week one that he coached in
the NFL. And that's Indianapolis. That's his short time in
Carolina before he realized this organization stinks and I'm just
(14:08):
going to go play golf f this. But I look
at it and I go I wonder if part of
Brian Kelly's frustration is like now there's like this narrative
building with him that if you don't have your team
ready for Week one, what does that say about you?
Because Frank Wright got really frustrated towards the end when
the conversation was always about you guys seem to start
(14:30):
off slow.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
You're always losing Week one, and it's.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Almost like it's a reflection of the coach, like, am
I not getting these guys prepared to play? Because this
is three years in a row they've come out Week
one and they've been close games. And to his point,
they were in control there and couldn't get a stop
down the stretch and Moss went up and down the
field on them at will, And I just wonder how
much of that is a reflection, and yeah, a team's
(14:55):
performance is all a coach's reflection. But I wonder if
it's again we're having this discussion about me not having
these guys ready for week one.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I mean, ultimately, that's what it's going to come down
to in the annals, right, is that Brian Kelly is
not able to get them done or get it done
that way, have them ready for week one. Now, again,
it leaves a lot of question marks for both teams.
How good is USC, how good is LSU? If I'm LSU,
(15:24):
it could work in your favor even though you're behind
the eight ball immediately out the gate, it could work
to your advantage just by pure circumstance of this being
a part of an extended and a larger playoff pool.
But make no mistake about it, the amount of pressure
(15:48):
and intensity of possible fallout on losing a week one
game and you're at a major Power five school an
SEC school, that's not a good look for your coach.
I mean, we have conversations about Ryan Day or James Franklin,
who lose one game. One game. We're talking about one game.
(16:14):
They might lose one game, and we're talking about they're
on the hot seat to get fired if they can't
win this one game. So, when you're talking about a
team like LSU that has the type of tradition connected
to them, they have national titles, they've had Nick Saban,
they've had great coaches. Les Miles came in there and
(16:34):
drop one on them. You're looking at a guy who
is the winningest coach in Notre Dame history. And you
take on this job where the resources are supposed to
be so vast for you to be able to build
the team that you want to have.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
You've been there long enough to do this.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Why are you not coming out and dominating in LSU
fashion and form? And don't give me the doodoo face
like it's somebody else's fault. Don't try to don't try
to deflect it by what you're saying in the postgame
meeting for self preservation.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
He really he does have a good Dodo face, though
it's really good. Married at it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Oh man, it was such a disgusted look. It's like, man,
who did it? Like who messed this up? And what
happened to the Cajun accent? Just go way after you
and when you got one foot out the door because
they forcing you out. That Cajun accent has to go
because you might not be able to get another good job,
a job interview if you go to one of the
(17:34):
schools that's going to hire you. When when they kick
your ass up out of LSU.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I mean, hey, that's why I'll give True Detective.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
The first season, those guys carried that accent all those
other characters all the way through the year.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Brian Kelly lost it after like an hour and a half.
Hey man, they send him on his way from LSU.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
How's sound with his family that things want to turn
into Yes, me and my family would like to vacate
the premises of Baton Rouge. We are now not enjoying
our stay here as guest of you pleasant people that
have not been very pleasant to us.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Like get us to a golf course, johnson Ley said.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Thought I was a football coach, but me and my
family thought otherwise. It's time for us to go somewhere else.
Forget y'all. Y'all Caju in accents. Maybe I can't communicate
with y'all clearly enough to get the game planned, and
I've been trying to give y'all.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Who break Breakfast Club song? Which one of that which
eighties man, is that Don't You Forget About Me? Damn
it's a good song too. This is also this is
audio slave. Okay, Now, Rage against the Machine nice.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Okay, for those of you listening on the podcast, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
All right, it is the Herd here on Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox in for Colin coming up in,
we'll call it. About twenty minutes from now, you're going
to hear some unfortunate news for one player in the NFL.
Unfortunate but fortunate. We've got the details on that for
you again, about twenty minutes from now, so when the
NFL announced that they were because I don't know if
(20:24):
anybody's aware this, the season kicks off later on this week.
So we've got Thursday night you've got the Chiefs and
you've got the Ravens that'll kick off the year, and
then Friday you've got the game in Brazil, which, look
we talked about on our show, Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe, which you can hear weekday morning, six
am Eastern time, three o'clock Pacific, just a little earlier
than this show, a little bit earlier myself, LeVar, and
(20:48):
he was that guy's name, Brady Quinn though, oh yeah,
swinging d Yeah, the big noon kickoff show.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Damn batter up.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
But you can hear us and we talked out when
this game was announced, Like, man, who wouldn't want to
go to Brazil? Like I mean for an NFL game, Like,
let's like sign us up, we'll go there, we'll work remote,
we'll do it from you know, we'd like to pick
the establishment to do it from the But the point
is get over to Brazil. That'd be a good time.
Who wouldn't want to be a part of it? Well,
apparently the Philadelphia Eagles don't want to be a part
(21:19):
of it. Like that's a problem. Players are not happy
about it. They are not excited at all. Now, maybe
this is all just a front so that they're better
has you know, aren't worried about them going over to
Brazil and not make it a back.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
I don't think it's a front, and I think it's
a very serious approach because their uniforms kind of tell
you and confirm that that they're not taking this this
whole thing lightly in terms of what the possibilities of
what could play out in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Tell you what, though, I'd love to go play in Brazil.
You don't know why, Well, because my eyes work, that's why. Okay,
And that dog hunts, if you know what I mean.
You know, the point is they're going to be under
such such watch bro. I mean, listen, there's there's always
going to be duce that's going to do what they're
going to do and be who they're going to be.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I mean, there's under service. I wonder what I wonder
what the over under is going to be on.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Dudes that get caught up like where they got robbed
or did something that got them sent home from the trip.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
I wonder what the over under we're fell in love again?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
You know, like, hey, tell the wife and kids, I
ain't never coming back and never coming home.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Where's mom at?
Speaker 5 (22:41):
Put mom on the phone the baby, Yeah, I ain't
never coming back.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Like postcard from South Paulo And next thing, you know,
you know, Christmas got cheaper.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
But the point is, whatever happened to that one player
that played for the Eagles.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You've never seen for or heard from them again, because
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
He's like big into jiu jitsu now for some reason,
do you know what happened love soccer? He's really been
to it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
He may revisit the NFL, just in a different capacity.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So so the Eagles are not happy about it. Nick
Sirianni the coach of the Eagles, spoke with reporters about
you know how he's trying to get his team focused
and prepared and ready and with a different mindset as
they approach Friday's game.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
We're going there to play and win a win a
football game. That's our that's our goal. That's our you know,
our only goal as we go down there. And so
you know, it's just putting, it's just getting everybody in
the right mindset of what you want, what you need
to be when you go down there. It's like, uh,
you can control the things that you can control. Like,
(23:48):
we're going to Brazil to play. That's that's what it is.
And we're excited about that. We're excited about the opportunity
to to play in a neutral site, knowing that you know,
and they have a different, slightly different schedule of things
that happen.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I mean, they can try and pretty this up all
they want, and well, listen, logistically, you know, to start
off the year, it makes more sense, You've got more
travel time, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
It never makes any sense. That's that's kind of a
crap way to start off the year. It never makes
any sense to have to travel abroad, travel far to play,
especially if you're playing a game that counts, and it
just it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Like.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Is that a great play by the NFL to try
to expand span the game, expand the borders. Sure it
is introduce it to a different market. Sure, but is
it a hassle for the the franchise on why not
do a preseason game? That's it makes more sense. I
(24:46):
remember when we went to Osaka, Japan. It was a
preseason game. It was a preseason game. The game didn't count,
make it more of an exhibition. But to play games,
meaningful games that that count torture record. I don't know,
And I feel like lately I've been more of a
critic of the decisions that I see coming from the
(25:08):
league offices. I don't want to come across as I'm
a critic because I'm a tremendous supporter of the Shield
and what they represent, what they do in a lot
of ways. But I wouldn't be doing my job correctly
if I didn't say the things that I felt when
I felt them when I'm saying them, And in this moment,
I just feel like there's certain things that you're talking
(25:29):
about two really really good franchises with really really strong
fan bases. And I know you're looking at from the
standpoint like they'll travel and stuff like that, but you
really just cheat at one of these teams out of
having a home game and the fans the onlookers a
lot of times, and I think we learned this during COVID.
(25:50):
The venues matter for the for the creation of the
show itself, because when you don't have that COVID showed us,
if you don't have fans in thiss and you don't
have that noise, and you don't have the pageantry connected
to these games, it just doesn't It's like watching a
movie with no music. It's like the storyline of it,
(26:13):
the flow of it is just all messed up. The
energy of it is kind of messed up. So to me,
what's the energy going to look like in sal Polo?
What's that what's that stadium really going to feel like
to to the onlookers and to the players specifically the players, Like,
I know, you're going to draw attention from your fans
(26:35):
that have traveled there, but again, there's still nothing like
one of those teams getting to say we're in Lambeau
or we're at the Link and this is our season opener,
Like there's something to be said about that being in
a neutral place in a foreign country. I just don't
think that that's gonna hit. It's not going to hit
that way.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Like if you did a preseason game, like and this
is no disrespect to you know, the people listen in
Brazil on the iHeartRadio app, But if you did a
preseason game, like they don't get the NFL, like it
doesn't go there to play games, So you could present
them a preseason game and it'd be real fine, Like
nobody's going to be like I'm not going to go
(27:15):
see the Eagles and Packers. It's like it's a preseason game. Like, no,
they're going to go because there's an NFL game there.
Like you're gonna draw a crowd.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
You probably have to say there's going to be a
relevant soccer exhibition match at halftime of the game to
damn to get the local population to want to go. Yeah,
I mean they be like there's a game. What type
of game? Football? A soccer game?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
No? No, like football, like soccer game?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
No, like football, you know, like football, Like, oh, it's
a soccer game like, no, no, it's.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Like that game they play in America. Yeah, like when
people get tackled, they really get tackled.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Like you've never seen this before. Like let me go
on YouTube and show you, like, look, this is what
it is. This is what's coming here.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But they would show up, like if you did a
preseason game, they would like they would and also as
it's a spectacle, yes right, like and plus I would
venture to guess in the middle of training camp for
a preseason game, these players would be way.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
More open to go into Brazil.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
I'm sure because it doesn't matter. Yes, but this game matters.
You have to be doaled in. That means that the
way that they're going to monitor you is going to
be dowed in. This is a game. This is a
game situation. This is a work trip. You're not there
as preseason. You know, we can choose some flower seats
(28:40):
and send ball boys over to talk to people in
the stands for for you, Like, this isn't that type
of Some of them still might do it anyway, but
this isn't not supposed to be that type of trip.
This is a real trip. If you did so, I'm
not putting my phone number And I'm not saying that
this is what players do or anything, but I'm not
putting my phone number are on like a game pair
(29:01):
of worn gloves and like sending them over to you know,
a fan in the in the stands that are are
a worthy recipient of your your game worn gloves that
have your phone number, your you know, your what's that called?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
What's that your WhatsApp? You know you don't.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You don't put your WhatsApp information on that hand that
you used for the game.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
That glove you would do that.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
No, you don't do that, especially when it's a real
game that matters and that accounts like you don't put
you know, your your WhatsApp on like you know a
game warn say, I don't know a towel that you wore,
like streaming towel, make sure your hands are dry and
stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
You know, just don't do that. And you don't give.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
It to the ball boy or to one of the
guys that handle the equipment or the video the visual
things that you use. You just do not incorporate them
into being able to disseminate those those gifts to the fans.
You know, your give back to the community, to expand
(30:06):
you know the fandom in Brazil. Yeah, you just you
know that in regular season game. I wouldn't do it,
that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Now I wonder if I would.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I definitely would not partake in that again again again,
So what uh?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
No, only one time.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Here's here's what I'm fascinated to see though, because like
Major League Baseball did this to where they sent the
Dodgers and the Padres over to Japan to open up
the air. But what they did was they sent him
over for like a two game series and they came
back and they concluded spring training. They didn't send him
over and then all right, games three and four next up,
and you guys just got to go play. I'm fascinated
(30:51):
to see how green Bay and Philly doing Week two,
Like I'd love to see what the hangover effect is
because green Bay's at home against Indianapolis and Philly at least,
and that's on a Sunday. In Week two, Philly at
least gets an extra day they've gotten Monday and night
against the Falcons at home. I'm really curious to see
how they look coming off this trip to Brazil, because
(31:13):
I know the NFL wants money and they want all
this stuff. I can't imagine if this goes poorly and
these teams really struggle after the fact and they've got
to start off the year like this, that the NFL
goes down this road again, like maybe some adjustments, but
I just think a preseason game week makes way much
more sense.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And there for a reason. And now granted they haven't
been back to Osaka, Japan. I think you tried to
integrate and penetrate a market and if it works, then
you build on that. If it doesn't work, then you tried,
what's the next market up, which is the next one
that we could try to integrate in that may be receptive,
(31:54):
more receptive, more of a growth opportunity, because again I
think all of the all of the plans that we're
saying take place, with the equity groups and different things
like that, being able to buy into franchises and stuff
like that, they're clearly trying to create new money and
(32:14):
more revenue opportunities, more more business that increases the bottom
line for the National Football League.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
There's also this as well too. The president of Brazil
has banned the use of X out there, so like
anybody you know, like for us watching on some can
affect us for us watching on television. I mean, unless
you know Direct TV and you know, somebody else gets
into a pissing match again and they just shut off
all the TVs for us to watch, like they did
last night. But apparently they've banned X because they want
(32:46):
Elon Musk to adjust free speech rules, and he's saying, no,
that's the foundation of what we do here.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
It's free speech.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
And so anybody going to cover the game cannot use
X to provide updates. So we'll get to watch all
the same. But then anybody cover and I guess if
you use a VPN to try and access it, you're
gonna get fined almost nine thousand dollars if you try
and go on X.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
So if you know what, they're going to arrest you
if you use it if you don't pay the fine.
I no, no, I'm not ever coming back to this place.
So your fine.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
I'll tell you this much. They might not let you
fly up out of there, though.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Anybody anybody going over there was looking for, you know,
an out as to why maybe it came back late.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
There's you're out. I tried, listen, honey, I don't have
to tell you I ended up extra time.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I mean, I was trying to take a picture of this,
I say, e bowl and post it to X. Next thing,
you know, I'm in cuffs nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
And there's like three months I had to stay here
for like and you know what, they gave me six
months community service and they said I couldn't leave until
I service at least six months of community.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
And listen, I don't know how this lipsticks staying got
on my jeans, Okay, I can't explain that. You got
to take it up with the proper author parties here.
So there you go. There's you're out for anything cleaning
up the good streets of South Plow.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
What we do?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
No, it is uh somebody stumbled and was thanking me
and it ended up being some lipstick on the side
of my leg.
Speaker 3 (34:15):

here on the Herd. Right now though, it's Bo Benson
(35:39):

Speaker 10 (35:48):
That's right, guys. San Francisco forty nine Ers rookie wide
receiver Ricky Piersoll was released from the hospital on Sunday,
one day after being shot in the chest during an
attempted robbery while walking to the union station after an
autograph signing event.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Glad to hear he's doing okay, man, Like these some
of these people got You got to do better, man,
you gotta do better. Well, you're trying jackum for what
they said for his watch or something, Rolex so stid relax.
So a life, A life was less than a watch
to you. Huh yeah, I hope they put them dudes,
(36:24):
like under the jail.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
There's one guy, a seventeen year old just walked up
to him with a gun and uh, he got shot
through the chest, went out his back.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I guess he's out of the hospital and recovering.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
But that on top of the fact he's been dealing
with his shoulder issue that he had that dates back
to college. Like, it's just not it's just not gotten
off to a great start for Ricky Pierce.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
You're doing a signing.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
It's not even like you were doing something where you'd
be like, dude, like make sure your surroundings are okay,
make sure you have the proper protection, this, that, and
the other.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Like the dude was doing a signing and.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I guess he walked, So he went to Union Square
to go do some shopping afterwards, and just three thirty
in the after like we're talking like three point thirty
in the morning, after he left a club and broad daylight,
some guy walks up to him with a handcanon trying
to get his watch off him, like I just don't
and used it, yes, and used it like I don't
(37:21):
what are we doing here?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
You know, I don't know, man, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (37:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Shot, I'm glad he's okay, though.
Speaker 10 (37:28):
Shot in the chest is just so scary to here.
So glad he's doing well. And he was trying to
take him up out of here. I mean, you've shot
him in his chest, you're trying, like you try and
take him up at him.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
And I also wonder this as well too, like and
he recovered and don't recover physically and all of that,
but emotionally.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
Yeah, Oh that's that PTSD from net you know, come on,
he's going to have to deal with that.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
For the rest of his life.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, so I do wonder. And it's also a bad
reflection of, you know, the city. It's a bad reflection
of you know a lot of the narratives about the city.
And there's a guy three thirty in the afternoon, walk
into his car, gets shot in the chest.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Before his watch. Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
This wasn't like no personal beef or anything like that.
Just I need that watch. Come up off that watch
at three thirty.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Yeah, not ideal. Uh. The Los Angeles Rams are hiring
former Nebraska head coach Scott Frost to a senior football
analyst role with the team.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (38:25):
Frost was sixteen and thirty one at Nebraska as a
head coach, but he was successful at UCF and as
an assistant at Oregon. So he'll be in the NFL now.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
By the way he like, it became almost a joke that.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Matt rule your guy, Matt rule of oar, the guy
used to bully at Penn State. Yeah, I didn't bully
so the UH used to wear them out.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
That we didn't bang him up in practice, so we
didn't bully him with good people.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
And uh no, he's been on Fox Sports Radio. He's
friends with Anthony Gargano, Fox Sports radio host, and he
used to come on the weekends and doing interviews with
Gargano and he's Matt Rules awesome, and so he kind
of got labeled this as well too because Scott Frost
lost so many close games and Nebraska to where like
bo his record sixteen and thirty yes, thirty one, Like
(39:16):
we're talking like single possession games that could have gone
either way, and that's a completely different looking record. But
he's like the case case example of guy who was
that's his place, that's Nebraska. He went back there, he
was being celebrated and it just went terribly and it
almost I wonder how many people look at they.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Were looking at the way he was like clock managing
and stuff like. There were there were a lot of
criticisms if I recall correctly. Yeah, that was coming his
way in terms of how his reputation began to e
wrote there.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
But you know that's one.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Thing that for me, I I don't know, man, like, Okay,
it ended up working out for uh, you know, Michigan
coach now ended up working out for him. But I
would never want to risk my reputation and what it
represents as a player and what I've represented to that
(40:11):
community about going in there being a coach.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yeah, I wonder if if people saw that and were like,
I don't know, I'd rather.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
There's going to be more people that remember Scott Frost
as the coach that messed up than the player that didn't.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
He win the Heisman. Great player. I can't close something
like that.
Speaker 10 (40:28):
I wonder, I wonder what happened if you gave Scott
Frost a quarterback like doing Royola who's doing his best
Patrick Maholmes in person that.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
He looks just like my particular Yeah, he's like he's
leaning into it.
Speaker 10 (40:43):
Yeah he has to be. There's no way he's not.
He's wearing the headband, he's got the coach.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
I just like him.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
I remember when Eminem got popular. I had a buddy
of mine who tried that out, and I was like, yeah,
did it work?
Speaker 3 (40:53):
No no, no, no, didn't work, no no no, but
everyone tried.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
I mean, you know that if you were able to
dopplegang somebody, that you'd be able to
