Gay Week got college football? Got you know? They? Is
(01:03):
this consider week one? Or was last week? Week one?
Are we still doing the week zero thing? How does
that work? Brady? We're still doing the week zero thing,
which I feel like you're bashing it a little bit.
I don't like that. So what do you listen? I
was watching, I was paying attention. Okay, then you should
have realized it was week zero. I I did. But
I just mean you're making fun of Scott Frost on sidekick.
We haven't talked about how you know it's easy to
(01:25):
do that, Like that's the lazy, easy take when something
doesn't work out, Like, oh, why they call that play?
Oh that was their intent? Like they were hoping to
do a surprise on side that didn't work? Did did
Did you know that? Did you know? That's what they
were Like? It's always like even the Seattle, you know,
super Bowl play with Malcolm Butler who picks it off
and the rest is history. It's like they weren't like,
(01:47):
you know, seldom you see an interception at the goal
line at that point in time that that part of
the field. It almost never happens, literally almost never happens.
Besides that singular moment, it wasn't like they were going
in with thinking we're gonna throw a pick here and
lose the game. That wasn't really the thought process. By
the way, is Scott Frost jacked or am I just not?
(02:07):
It was more my eyes can Trigg playing tricks on me?
Looks can kick yours? If that's what you're as somebody
who can't. I mean, come on, man, that's not not
really saying much, but we're hoping it's saying more. Okay, Well,
I don't know why I'm being attacked. That's the problem there.
(02:31):
Look at the excite LaVar was to drop a ten
dollar fine on me. Uh so yeah, listen, I I
hope things work out for for Scott Frost at Nebraska.
But that was that was. But we tried to tell everybody, right,
I mean, Northwestern getting thirteen points, uh, you know, on DraftKings,
(02:56):
we tried to tell everybody, look, this is uh there's
an opportunity there for some cash to be made and
uh and it happened, so so good for them. But
we will have Speaking of college football, Petro's going to
be joining us here coming up in about fifteen minutes
from now and had a lot to say last week
about Giselle and um, you know, we will we will
(03:16):
see what else he believe focused on definitely was. I
had multiple people text feet after the interview going, oh
my god, just went off in a direction that we
did not expect. So we will we will hear from
the old peak coming up in about fifteen minutes from now. Uh.
(03:38):
Speaking of Tom Brady, are there just a lot of
haters out there? Uh? And speaking of gambling that there
was this Uh Brady, you had spotted this, this thing
came out according to Caesar's that a lot of a
lot of people out there are looking at the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers as having a down year. And Uh. According
to UH an article that was put out on CBS
(04:00):
sports dot com, the Buccaneers have had the fifth most
money been on them to have the league's worst record,
only behind the Bears, Brown, Seahawks, and Steelers. So apparently
there are a lot of people that are looking at
the quote unquote dysfunction that is going on in Tampa Bay,
whether it be the injuries or Tom Brady and whether
(04:21):
or not you know, he's got plastic surgery or divorce
or whatever the hell else is going on there in
Tampa Bay. A lot of people think this could impact
this team. Moving forward to me, then, make a whole
lot of sense. I still think they're clearly the best
team in that division. They're gonna win their division, They're
going to the postseason. This feels like a lot of
people that are wasting money in my mind. The other
(04:42):
thing that doesn't make sense is aren't they also the
biggest favorite to win the division? Yes? Like, why are
they such a polarizing team? Is that because it's Tom Brady?
Like people just want to, like, in his final what
looks to be maybe his final year, just go okay,
Apparently this dude's just I don't know, I'm not gonna
to you to play at a high level. I don't know.
(05:02):
I don't really get. I honestly feel like if that,
if that's what you're going for, you really are just
wasting money, Like you truly are a gambling That is
a terrible bet, terrible play. I mean, what, why why
do people not like him? What's the successful? He's good looking,
he's it's jealous, I mean that that would that would
be the human nature he they're jealous, he's married to
(05:24):
a supermodel, he's extremely wealthy. Um, I mean I would
mean Reberto doesn'tlike him because he ruined Roberto streams with
the Raiders. I mean, you should have a bigger issue
with Adam Bitterry if that's the case. You know, but
that nuts on the table, kick that Blandino and the
entire rules committee there in the NFL. Probably you're taking
(05:45):
out Blandino. Come on, I'm throwing him in the mix.
I think you should be in the mix for Roberto.
If if he's got a hit list, that would be
the hit list. It's just the whole thing is weird.
Like if this is his final year and we all
acknowledge he's the greatest player of all time, wouldn't he
want to just appreciate the like one last ride, Like, hey,
why not like one last ride? If he if he
(06:05):
came out tomorrow and said, this is absolutely my final
year in the NFL, I feel like people would really go,
you know, all right, let's let's celebrate him a little more.
But it's like the back and forth. Now everybody's bearing
him like he's been in the league for three hundred years.
At some point, don't you cease to be jealous? Like
it's over, Like he's he's got Giselle, he's got all
(06:27):
the money, he's got all the fame, he's got the championships,
has got everything. You're just wasting your time, and especially now,
you're wasting your money. If you're betting on Tampa Bay
to have the worst record in the NFL. That is
a terrible bet from somebody who has made plenty of
terrible bets in his life. I don't think they're going
to be that bad. I don't, I don't. I'm not.
(06:49):
I'm not bullish on them winning winning their division, though
I'm really not. I think the same. I'm not. I
don't even well, I'm not going to go with Atlanta.
I say that because I thought you said it Landa
last week. I did. I did not know. I did not. UM,
But I will say that there's the possibility that Carolina
(07:11):
could be a team that challenges for it. UM just
listening to how maybe possibly Baker Mayfield may fit into
the fold there. But I do think that the Saints
will be pretty good. Now again, I think the biggest
question mark if if if Sean Payton is still there.
I think it's a foregone conclusion that it's the Saints
(07:32):
that win it. I just think that this year in
Tampa is not going to be the story that everybody
thinks is it's going to be. I don't. I don't.
I just don't. I don't know why. I get that
feeling that it just doesn't it's not going to be
as successful as as it might seem like it may be.
(07:55):
I mean, you get get God went back, you got
Mike Evans, you got you got player is all on
the field, you know, you get you get your back
field back, like largely in part, it's still the same team.
I just don't get this, this overwhelming feeling when listening
to the stories that have resonated from there or have
(08:16):
have come from there. I just don't. I just don't
get the feeling that they're going to be that type
of team where they're going to be a dominant team
this year. But I've been I mean, I've been wrong
a lot. You know, I have no problem if I'm wrong,
But I just don't. I don't see it. But but
not worse record, I'm not. I'm not going to go
as far as you say worst record. They're a playoff
(08:37):
team though, right you just don't buy them, don't. I
mean literally, So let's just do this right now, how
many teams in the NFC are You're gonna pick over
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, maybe Green Bays. Like, let's just
go through the list of teams. The Rams. I'm more
down on the Rams than than Tampa. But yeah, the Cowboys,
(08:59):
I mean that, the the Eagles. Yeah, Okay, so we're
name with four teams and only because and only because
of their division, you know what I mean. Like, I'm
only saying that, not because they're the better team. I'm
saying based upon the division that they're in. I think
that I would put them ahead of Tampa Bay. So
(09:20):
that's that's you know, the Eagles. It could go either way,
Eagles or and it really could be Washington too. My
general point though, is is why this is such a
waste of a bet is you you can literally try
to throw even teams that you are contemplating could be
better than Tampa, right, and and you still aren't getting
past seven teams where they wouldn't be a playoff team
(09:42):
and either in a wild card scenario or winning their division.
It's just it's such a waste of money. It's not
it's not a tough division. It's not They're not in
a tough division. Like I can see if they were
sitting in a bat like a really really heavy loaded
division and it's like, Oh, they're in the a f
C wet store there in the NFC West, Like, yeah,
they're going to have their work cut out for him.
(10:04):
I don't again, I think that's it's all hypotheticals with
talking about if anybody is going to be good in
the NFC South, you really have to talk yourself in
and convince yourself that Tampa Bay isn't one of the
top two or three best teams in the NFC, Like
(10:24):
you you really you really need to do you really
need to do hardcore drugs if you honestly that they're
not one of the top five teams in then But
that like right there, tells you there's just a lot
of haters, Like there's people that want to see them fail.
And I don't get it. I don't I don't know
what is it because he decided he wanted to come back.
I mean, did this exist? I don't know the fact
(10:48):
that he looks younger at die up good? What do
you get it, Bertie? Is that what it is? We're
gonna go plastic surgery, botox, look box, Come on, that's
an in and out procedure. He could easily just go
in and out for that. Yeah, you don't need ten
days away for that. My wife, like you still trying
(11:08):
to tell me she's gonna go run some air and
she'll go get botox. I'm like, the hell, you don't
get your face that chiseled off a boat. Tops. All
botox is filler. It's not chiseler. You know, it's all
the avocado ice. So what do you say that, Like
you think he's legitimately getting like facial reconstruction. I mean, look,
(11:29):
it does look a lot different. I ain't gonna Lisa.
He doesn't look as puffy. It looks like he's got
less inflammation than his body. Yeah, there's that. It could
be his diet, honestly, I mean he doesn't he doesn't drink.
He doesn't drink during the season. He doesn't drink. Man,
if you don't drink, like I feel like you can,
you could tell the people who are like when they're
shredding now, they're not gonna be a fun time, but
(11:51):
they're gonna have a six pack their entire life. I mean,
but again, I mean, if you don't drink, I mean,
do you even count you know what I mean? Like,
does it. I mean, I can't trust you. Yeah, there's
I means, so again, he's not drinking during the season.
You know he doesn't. But there's the speculation that's out
there that well, what was that ten days away for?
(12:11):
I mean, you know, so again, this is this is
part of the off season that's been the Tom Brady
off season. And apparently people think that if it is
plastic surgery, that all of it. I mean, there's a
lot of that going on. But I can tell you this,
I'm excited that he's gonna be with us at Fox.
I think he's going to do a fine job to Fox.
(12:33):
With Fox. He's gonna be at Fox. Yeah. It's it's
place to be, man, It's the place to be, you know,
for everybody. All Right, it is two Pros and a

fireworks continue. Petros Papadakis is next here on fs are.
(13:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington and

Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Here on Fox
Sports Radio again. A little over twenty minutes from now,
it's the b Q News, Big Times Today Florida Day.
(13:36):
By the way it is today is Florida. That's up day, Yeah, Floridaday. Alright, well,
we've got to really interesting, so we we get ready
for that at about twenty minutes from now. But right
now it's time the old p Petros Papadecas. He is
the co host of the Petros and Money Show on
the Blowtorch Am five seventy l a Sports Fox college
(13:59):
football analyst. Petro's the hell is happening? Good morning, Good morning,
Good morning everybody. Hello, do you guys Petro vacation or something? Okay, yeah,
because people were texting me like what happened? To the show,
and I was like, I have no idea they exist
on a different plane than I do. I just show
(14:20):
up on Wednesdays. Well, I mean, I was in Hawaii
and I was listening to you call the Utah State
game from altitude. I got some watch Fandy put it
down on on Hawaii. No. I saw Hawaii looked looked
okay early and then I turned my head and turned
back and they were down like fifty or something. They
(14:41):
scored a touchdown and then they went down by poor
timmy change. I know, it's terrible. They looked bad. Man.
You know who didn't look good either? The first half
was was Utah State. I was, I was really upset
by that outcome there because some of may have may
have I saw that point spread and be like, oh,
(15:02):
Uta looks like a team should You'll take care of
you con Petros, but that's your boy. Well, who does
Utah State play this week? Obama? Yeah, they might have
slipped walked through that one a little bit. They were
looking I think they were looking a little bit forward
to Alabama. But that being said, if we are going
to break down the Utah State Yukon game, I thought
(15:25):
Yukon played hard they played their ass off. They lost
their starting quarterback, their best receiver, and pretty much their
whole game plan in the first couple series of the game,
and they kind of hung in there and played defense
and had a great looking little linebacker, not little in
(15:45):
the crap out of the football. Yeah, they ran the
ball well, but Utah States not too interested in stopping
the run either, So anyway that yeah, they they did
look a little lackadaisical in the game, but I understand
with Alabama looming and a team that didn't look like
it could compete with you offensively as far as just
volume goes uh in front of you. So we'll see
(16:08):
this week. I have can't state the golden flash. Yeah
at Washington. All right, So, yeah, the debut of Klin Dubor.
So you you traveled. You were in Logan, Utah last week,
and now you're going to be up in Seattle and
you know I don't travel. What do you mean no longer?
(16:29):
Are you trying to embarrass or something? Not? Because I
heard you and Alex spouse to make a joke about
how you guys were in altitude and I thought it
was funny. I don't know if anybody caught it during
the broadcast. It was good, Alex did. It was fine.
I'm sure it was hilarious. It was Hey, look, I
go to work. I'm so tired of everybody bugging me
about where the game. I called the game where they
(16:50):
tell me to call the game. Hey, what's your hottest
topic for the show today? For your show? I have nothing.
That's five in the morning. I have Uh, well, let's
see LaVar the Dodgers you're interested about, Let's let's do it. Uh.
The Dodgers and the Mets played last night four to three,
(17:16):
I believe or something was the game or three to two.
The Dodgers dominated in every phase of the game. It
was supposed to be a big series because they're supposed
to run into each other in the playoffs. So everybody
was paying attention. Because of the lack of interest in
August baseball, this one kind of had people's interests. So
(17:36):
I guess we'll talk about that. Uh. I watched a
cool movie from the seventies by when Wim Wenders called
An American Friend, which was a different adaptation of a
Thomas h. Ripley book. The books by Patricia Highsmith, like
the Talent of Mr Ripley. No, no, the other Okay,
(18:00):
I'm sorry, No anything else. I don't know. You tell
I mean, go ahead, Jonas, why don't you come by
the studio and see how we call a game from
from the fox? Come get your boy Brady? I mean,
I I don't know what his tactic is. He just
he just got back from a nice speaking What do
you mean. I thought it was funny they were they
were making mention of it. And I don't know if
(18:22):
anybody caught that during the altitude during the broadcast, because
it's hard to briefe for the players. Broadcasters have no
trouble talking and filling the room with hot air. Well,
but that's why we would mention the altitude at least.
Can I ask you this. I assume you watched Nebraska
(18:45):
Northwestern and well I was preparing for the real slobber
knocker between Yukon and Utah State. Understand, But but I
I assume you've you've watched and seen kind of what transpart,
what happened your in your opinion? Where does this go
for Scott Frost? I don't know, man, I don't know.
I mean, this is this like a few weeks that
we're talking about changers. I remember, No, I don't know.
(19:07):
Nebraska is an interesting place football wise, and he really
is one of their favorite sons. Of course, he is
testing them pretty deeply. And we could be having this
conversation about Timmy Chang in a few weeks with Jonas,
you know and love and Rainbow WOI after the first season.
Really I'm joking, but I don't know. I think, yeah,
(19:30):
I think when it comes to uh, Scott, I remember,
I don't know what was it like eighteen or something
like that. I was in Illinois doing a Nebraska Illinois
game on like a Thursday night. Traveled for that one.
Jonas and uh Mike Riley who was an old, really
(19:52):
close old friend of mine and our old coach when
I was at USC in the late nineties offensive coordinated
before he took the in state and then the Chargers job.
Mike Riley was walking around and everybody knew he was
a dead man walking, and everybody talked about Scott Frost
is gonna come and say the program, and Scott Frost
(20:12):
is gonna come from UCF and it's only a matter
of time before Scott Frost changes everything. And we all
felt that way, and everybody thought that it was a
perfect fit, and it worked beautifully. And now I saw
some stat the other day that Frost would have to
win like his next fifty games to even match bo
Polini's record. And Bo Polini wasn't good enough for Nebraska, right,
(20:35):
he wasn't the right guy for Nebraska. They got rid
of him. Sure, he was a little wild, and they
sent him to Youngstown State. So I don't know where
they go from here. I don't know what they do.
I no longer know what reality is for Nebraska football.
And I am one of those and we've had this
conversation for years and years who is just devastated about
(20:58):
what they did to Frank's Leich. I blame Notre Dame
and Brady Quan Tommy Zimbikowski for the cutting off the
head of the beautiful veer option and when they did that,
when they when they cut you can't put the head
back on and make a zombie vier. Why can't they
bring it back? Because Brady, you of all people, know
that the veer is like a giant tree. That's like
(21:21):
Jonas going and cutting down the Banyan tree. And don't
do it, dude, Well you can't. You can't do it
because no one wants to come play in that system anymore.
That's not well, know what, Well, no one really did
anymore at all in the No one does now assuredly.
Maybe back then you get some running backs for people
who might might have done it. But now the beauty,
(21:44):
the beauty of what Nebraska did longer than anybody else did.
And Brady is right, there was a recruiting issue. But
at the same time, I don't know, they did it
with the Macavica brothers like freaked out walk off in Iowa,
you know. But the other thing they were doing was
getting elite linemen and things like that and running army offense,
(22:06):
an offense you would run with the team that's not
competing for the championship. Every year. They ran that with
elite athletes, you know, Lawrence Phillips and guys like that
out there running around and that's what made it so
different and so beautiful all the way up to the end.
To be honest with you, Frank Soulis won nine games
and then he got fired. So I think everybody in
(22:29):
Nebraska would go back to the vier if they had
a choice. They'd never let go of Callahan, They'd never
would have gotten away from coach Osborne's coaching tree. And
that's what you do when you try to be like
somebody else and you lose your identity. Petro's I feel
like Scott up next the BQ new by the way,
(22:49):
I remember when we I think we were talking to you,
Um you were you had a Nebraska game a couple
of years ago. I think it was early on in
Scott Frost's tenure, and the the point was, man, why
are they a preseason top twenty five team? If? Like,
what what gave anybody hope that this team would be
anywhere in the top twenty five coming into this season?
(23:11):
And I think you even mentioned that Scott Frost told
you he tried to keep everybody's expectations low. Yeah, listen,
we're trying to focus on this and we're trying. I
feel like he had the right expectations going into the job,
more so than anybody else with the program and the
fan base, and now you're seeing him try and tell everybody,
don't give up on us, don't give up on us.
(23:32):
But it feels like everybody has sort of now started
to distance themselves. Trev Alberts came in, there was some
back and forth as to whether or not he was
even gonna be back this year. It feels like Scott
Frost has had the right mindset this entire time, but
it's the fan base that maybe as an unrealistic expectation
for where the program should be. You know, he is
an interesting guy to talk to, and he is kind
(23:53):
of a quiet guy in a way, but he was
really I mean I remember sitting with him and he
was like, look, dude, the real black shirts that show
up to watch practice that are in their fifties. I
want to put a uniform on those guys because we
don't have those guys. You know that our guys do
not walk out of the tunnel and freak everybody out
(24:14):
like they used to. And if that's not happening, then
it's not really Nebraska football. Like I I don't know
what this is. I mean, I know it's Nebraska football,
but it's it's it's tough to see because every year
the expectations are so high. If you've ever been to Lincoln, Nebraska,
it's a really cool place for football. They deserve a
better football team and program, and it's interesting to me
(24:38):
people will go to Oklahoma and play and I don't
know what's so different between uh Norman and Lincoln. Maybe
that's an idiot West coast elitist, coastal elite attitude that
I have because everywhere in the Midwest sort of seems
the same to me. But I don't understand why Oklahoma
can recruit and Nebraska can. Does that make sense? I mean, like,
(25:01):
how can Iowa have a ten ten game kind of
win season every year without any problems or real well,
I guess they've had some problems, but you know what
I mean, without a lot of turnover anything like that.
How how come Nebraska can't do it? What's wrong with Nebraska?
I don't know. They just don't have a foundation in
(25:21):
a culture right now, right like they kind of after
obviously they made the transition because offense you talk, um Petros,
I do want to ask you this question because if
you actually look through like the Scott Frost tenure which
he first got there, and whaten was that when he
took over, it would have been like when I was
(25:42):
out there with coach Riley. Okay, So what's interesting now
is I always feel like coaches before the transfer portal
had to go through this period of like waning guys out,
and I kind of vaguely remember that being sort of
the deal, like early on, like meeting with them calling
some games. He was like, yeah, we gotta get the
roster kind of where we needed to be to do
(26:03):
what I'd like to do. And like, it's funny you
mentioned the black Shirts because he said something along those
lines that were similar. I look at now with the
transfer portal, and I wonder if he had started in
two and this was his you know, last year, maybe
where you have the ability to flip a roster with
the transfer portal, because I mean in that game, you
(26:24):
immediately saw Trade Palmer, a wide receiver who had an
impact the other wide receiver who had an impact in
that game, Like you saw that. Okay, like this is
working out Casey Thompson played great in the first half.
I would have a good year. I mean, I remember
Kelly's first game ever. Remember it was a disaster. Mike
Ballati ended up on the sideline and uh but the
(26:46):
struggling the guy got punched, you know, turn it turned
it around faster. If he had taken over last year
this year, given the rules of the transfer portal, well,
it depends. I mean, can he worked the transfer portal.
I don't know, I mean it and it always the best.
I mean, the transfer player and transfer portal. Just that
word has become the cap space of college football. It's like, well,
(27:08):
who plays for the Lakers. I don't know, but they
got cap space. I mean, if you you know, it's
like put put that name on the back of a
jersey that becomes somebody at a certain point, like the
transfer portal becomes flesh and blood, and it becomes a
guy that's out there. And I know I'm not telling
you something that you don't already know, but we just
called a game and the coaches were saying, well, yeah,
(27:29):
this guy's safety. We got him. He came in from
Florida and he's special and he's pushing the defense. And
I remember watching the first series and watching a guy
from Yukon who probably got recruited by Colgate and it's
just like step on the guy's throat and kick him
out of bounds. And I was like, damn, what happened
to that guy? What happened to transfer portal guy? Oh,
he became flesh and blood. He got dog bount in
(27:50):
a real game, you know, saying we got a guy
that transferred in does not automatically mean you're you're saved.
You know, they they you know, well we filled a
gap there with a transfer portal. It's like, okay, well,
let's let's play and see what happens. And I think
it's gonna be really interesting, like you mentioned, Brady, to
see which of these transfer guys come come, uh, come
(28:14):
up and do well and play a role on their team,
and which ones don't, and which ones uh caused trouble
on their teams, and which teams did it right and
which didn't, and some places it will become divisive, you
know it will. Uh. So I'm interested to see how
it plays out in the next few weeks with all
(28:34):
these kind of newly formed flipped rosters that you've alluded to.
I think it makes this year extremely interesting because we're
gonna see the fruits of our labors, and some of
them maybe sour. That doesn't necessarily mean bad though sour
sour fruit is good too. Yeah, come on it, yeah,
(28:56):
some of us. I mean it's going bad. Uh. First.
By the way, by the way, petros Uh, speaking of Nebraska,
where does before we let you go, where does the
neck roll on? Corey Slesh in your rank amongst your
all time favorite? Great question. You know, I always think
a Cox like Brian Cox, the very good. So Brian
(29:23):
Cox is number one. Uh, Corey Flesh and Carolina has
got Georgia Southern this week? Want to talk about we
want to make that joke. What I like is uh,
I like the doughnut of yesteryear that made it look
like you had like some kind of tumor on your back.
So you you had the the just a normal neck
(29:43):
roll that would like a tube that like you could
use to beat beat somebody with, right, Uh, And then
you get the string in it and you tie it
in your shoulder pads, right. But then you get the
doughnut you like on the back of it. Yeah, like
one of those things that looks like what they would
put on like a bat when you're doing your warm up.
If you put the if you put the doughnut on
(30:04):
the back, and then you look like a real hunched
freak in the nineties with the hangy sleeves. And then
you get your skinny ass arms coming out with a
hangy sleeves and the bands back and that's how you roll.
Brady wouldn't know that because he's a pretty quarterback type.
You think I didnt play week side linebacker back in
the day, you are a dead rawut cowboy call. I
(30:29):
used to take that thing off on the sidelines, would
have to go and play quarterback. Imagine switching that back
to see now the cowboy collar. We went. Cowboy collar
was like, that's like that's some Ohio football for you.
A guy who's playing like weak side linebacker. The then
you has to go take it off and go play quarterback.
That never ever has happened in the state of California
(30:51):
high school football ever, never happened. Whatever position does he
played quarterback, everyone else will will lineback. This guy's cleaning
up in the backs, Yes he is. Did you really
take your neck roll off when he would go play quarterback? Yeah?
I think we can run, Bob and at Brady, you
(31:14):
can try. I have filled that whole quick or with
our quarterback my freshman year all everything, So I'm not well,
that does happen a lot of the time. You know,
the quarterback is the best player on the team. You
just see that at almost every level. It's kind of
like playing shortstop. So I can see that, Brady, I
(31:34):
can see you run into the sideline and like, what
was the movie with a dam Sandler and he goes
like goes and tackles a water boy. If I if
I threw a pick, dude, I swear to you, I
would be belonging to that guy trying to end his life.
I was so angry about throwing a pick, and I
swear to God used to make that sounds the worst
(31:59):
thing ever? Is we all the water boy? Uh? The
night before we played Stanford. They used to take us
to see movies all the time, and we did win.
I scored two touchdown. It was hard for me to
shake that nickname for quite some time, the water because
of the shame and fury that I played with this
(32:20):
well pets, I bet you talked a lot of trash,
didn't you know? I couldn't breathe. I talked trash with
my giant bulged out eyes. Oh man, I get him.
Every once in a while, I told somebody like I
was going to kill their mother or something. I did
(32:40):
tell one guy that his girlfriend was having sex with
another guy on our team. It was a U C
L A guy and yeah, and he went and then
they took me out. My package came out of the game.
Uh and uh and then he had like your package package,
you know, like like the tight end packet and uh
(33:03):
and he he went on to have like three sacks
in a row, just tossing Carson Palmer into the dirt
like all furious and like I was like screaming into
the skies, and I was like, maybe I shouldn't have
you know, bad timing there. Oh man, Well maybe that's
why they retired as Jersey dude. I hope they Well,
I'm gonna haven't. I'm gonna have him put a chiron
on Brady if he works this weekend. That's hiss. Brady
(33:25):
Quinn quarterback slash will line back. So I just push,
I just put the neck roll on and on under
that beautiful I'm gonna do shrugs until I put just
give me something heavy. What's all the veins in his neck?
Don't worry about him. I've been shrug was a cowboy
(33:48):
collar guy. I believe you made the cowboy collar famous
and frightening in the college levels. Thank you. It's true
it was. And you know, the cowboy caller you had
to put on under your paths, so it wasn't easy
to take on and put off like Brady's neck roll,
which was Velcrove. Uh good. Get him on Twitter at
the old p Petros We love you, will do it

get this thing kicks off with well a headline that
goes like this, and again, today's news is brought to
you by the Great State of Florida. The headline reads
Florida sex offender accused of trying to buy a child
again at a grocery store for one thousand dollars. Yes,
(36:05):
according to the affid David Um parents had some clear
concern when someone was insistent on attempting to purchase their
daughter in a grocery store. Um. The girl's parents told
the police that the gentleman came up to them, made
comments about the child's appearance and asked about her age,
and the parents believed they were it was harmless, but
yet a creepy conversation. Well after they left the store
(36:26):
with the child, the gentleman actually ran out and shouted
to get their attention. Hey, Hey, I want to make
a deal with you. Bystanders tried to intervene and asked
him why he would offer money before he went back
to the store. He was later arrested at his home
for making this attempt again again again. Like this guy
should already be locked up. What the hell is he
(36:48):
doing roaming wind Dixie's looking to purchase children again? What
what is happening here? How is this allowed? I have
no idea. I just think it's a bad look for
when Dixie, Yeah, yeah, you don't see this happening in
Publix or god no, yeah sprouts or fresh market foods.
(37:10):
That's not happening there. When Dixie, oh, man, I'll move on,
I'll move on. I mean it was arrested Thursday after
a fight over a cigarette ended. Yeah, apparently you got
in the fight with family members after he tries to
use a toaster up and to light a cigarette, someone
end up getting stabbed. That you can't make this stuff up. Man,
(37:35):
Some people don't really like the smell of cigarettes. I
mean it's offensive. So he also beat on his neck.
It was a lot. Listen. Don't stand in front of
a man trying to get a long dart, you know,
and if he's got to use a toaster having a lighted,
what's the problem. What the issue is priorities. Fox Sports

Gay Week got college football? Got you know? They? Is
(01:03):
this consider week one? Or was last week? Week one?
Are we still doing the week zero thing? How does
that work? Brady? We're still doing the week zero thing,
which I feel like you're bashing it a little bit.
I don't like that. So what do you listen? I
was watching, I was paying attention. Okay, then you should
have realized it was week zero. I I did. But
I just mean you're making fun of Scott Frost on sidekick.
We haven't talked about how you know it's easy to
(01:25):
do that, Like that's the lazy, easy take when something
doesn't work out, Like, oh, why they call that play?
Oh that was their intent? Like they were hoping to
do a surprise on side that didn't work? Did did
Did you know that? Did you know? That's what they
were Like? It's always like even the Seattle, you know,
super Bowl play with Malcolm Butler who picks it off
and the rest is history. It's like they weren't like,
(01:47):
you know, seldom you see an interception at the goal
line at that point in time that that part of
the field. It almost never happens, literally almost never happens.
Besides that singular moment, it wasn't like they were going
in with thinking we're gonna throw a pick here and
lose the game. That wasn't really the thought process. By
the way, is Scott Frost jacked or am I just not?
(02:07):
It was more my eyes can Trigg playing tricks on me?
Looks can kick yours? If that's what you're as somebody
who can't. I mean, come on, man, that's not not
really saying much, but we're hoping it's saying more. Okay, Well,
I don't know why I'm being attacked. That's the problem there.
(02:31):
Look at the excite LaVar was to drop a ten
dollar fine on me. Uh so yeah, listen, I I
hope things work out for for Scott Frost at Nebraska.
But that was that was. But we tried to tell everybody, right,
I mean, Northwestern getting thirteen points, uh, you know, on DraftKings,
(02:56):
we tried to tell everybody, look, this is uh there's
an opportunity there for some cash to be made and
uh and it happened, so so good for them. But
we will have Speaking of college football, Petro's going to
be joining us here coming up in about fifteen minutes
from now and had a lot to say last week
about Giselle and um, you know, we will we will
(03:16):
see what else he believe focused on definitely was. I
had multiple people text feet after the interview going, oh
my god, just went off in a direction that we
did not expect. So we will we will hear from
the old peak coming up in about fifteen minutes from now. Uh.
(03:38):
Speaking of Tom Brady, are there just a lot of
haters out there? Uh? And speaking of gambling that there
was this Uh Brady, you had spotted this, this thing
came out according to Caesar's that a lot of a
lot of people out there are looking at the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers as having a down year. And Uh. According
to UH an article that was put out on CBS
(04:00):
sports dot com, the Buccaneers have had the fifth most
money been on them to have the league's worst record,
only behind the Bears, Brown, Seahawks, and Steelers. So apparently
there are a lot of people that are looking at
the quote unquote dysfunction that is going on in Tampa Bay,
whether it be the injuries or Tom Brady and whether
(04:21):
or not you know, he's got plastic surgery or divorce
or whatever the hell else is going on there in
Tampa Bay. A lot of people think this could impact
this team. Moving forward to me, then, make a whole
lot of sense. I still think they're clearly the best
team in that division. They're gonna win their division, They're
going to the postseason. This feels like a lot of
people that are wasting money in my mind. The other
(04:42):
thing that doesn't make sense is aren't they also the
biggest favorite to win the division? Yes? Like, why are
they such a polarizing team? Is that because it's Tom Brady?
Like people just want to, like, in his final what
looks to be maybe his final year, just go okay,
Apparently this dude's just I don't know, I'm not gonna
to you to play at a high level. I don't know.
(05:02):
I don't really get. I honestly feel like if that,
if that's what you're going for, you really are just
wasting money, Like you truly are a gambling That is
a terrible bet, terrible play. I mean, what, why why
do people not like him? What's the successful? He's good looking,
he's it's jealous, I mean that that would that would
be the human nature he they're jealous, he's married to
(05:24):
a supermodel, he's extremely wealthy. Um, I mean I would
mean Reberto doesn'tlike him because he ruined Roberto streams with
the Raiders. I mean, you should have a bigger issue
with Adam Bitterry if that's the case. You know, but
that nuts on the table, kick that Blandino and the
entire rules committee there in the NFL. Probably you're taking
(05:45):
out Blandino. Come on, I'm throwing him in the mix.
I think you should be in the mix for Roberto.
If if he's got a hit list, that would be
the hit list. It's just the whole thing is weird.
Like if this is his final year and we all
acknowledge he's the greatest player of all time, wouldn't he
want to just appreciate the like one last ride, Like, hey,
why not like one last ride? If he if he
(06:05):
came out tomorrow and said, this is absolutely my final
year in the NFL, I feel like people would really go,
you know, all right, let's let's celebrate him a little more.
But it's like the back and forth. Now everybody's bearing
him like he's been in the league for three hundred years.
At some point, don't you cease to be jealous? Like
it's over, Like he's he's got Giselle, he's got all
(06:27):
the money, he's got all the fame, he's got the championships,
has got everything. You're just wasting your time, and especially now,
you're wasting your money. If you're betting on Tampa Bay
to have the worst record in the NFL. That is
a terrible bet from somebody who has made plenty of
terrible bets in his life. I don't think they're going
to be that bad. I don't, I don't. I'm not.
(06:49):
I'm not bullish on them winning winning their division, though
I'm really not. I think the same. I'm not. I
don't even well, I'm not going to go with Atlanta.
I say that because I thought you said it Landa
last week. I did. I did not know. I did not. UM,
But I will say that there's the possibility that Carolina
(07:11):
could be a team that challenges for it. UM just
listening to how maybe possibly Baker Mayfield may fit into
the fold there. But I do think that the Saints
will be pretty good. Now again, I think the biggest
question mark if if if Sean Payton is still there.
I think it's a foregone conclusion that it's the Saints
(07:32):
that win it. I just think that this year in
Tampa is not going to be the story that everybody
thinks is it's going to be. I don't. I don't.
I just don't. I don't know why. I get that
feeling that it just doesn't it's not going to be
as successful as as it might seem like it may be.
(07:55):
I mean, you get get God went back, you got
Mike Evans, you got you got player is all on
the field, you know, you get you get your back
field back, like largely in part, it's still the same team.
I just don't get this, this overwhelming feeling when listening
to the stories that have resonated from there or have
(08:16):
have come from there. I just don't. I just don't
get the feeling that they're going to be that type
of team where they're going to be a dominant team
this year. But I've been I mean, I've been wrong
a lot. You know, I have no problem if I'm wrong,
But I just don't. I don't see it. But but
not worse record, I'm not. I'm not going to go
as far as you say worst record. They're a playoff
(08:37):
team though, right you just don't buy them, don't. I
mean literally, So let's just do this right now, how
many teams in the NFC are You're gonna pick over
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, maybe Green Bays. Like, let's just
go through the list of teams. The Rams. I'm more
down on the Rams than than Tampa. But yeah, the Cowboys,
(08:59):
I mean that, the the Eagles. Yeah, Okay, so we're
name with four teams and only because and only because
of their division, you know what I mean. Like, I'm
only saying that, not because they're the better team. I'm
saying based upon the division that they're in. I think
that I would put them ahead of Tampa Bay. So
(09:20):
that's that's you know, the Eagles. It could go either way,
Eagles or and it really could be Washington too. My
general point though, is is why this is such a
waste of a bet is you you can literally try
to throw even teams that you are contemplating could be
better than Tampa, right, and and you still aren't getting
past seven teams where they wouldn't be a playoff team
(09:42):
and either in a wild card scenario or winning their division.
It's just it's such a waste of money. It's not
it's not a tough division. It's not They're not in
a tough division. Like I can see if they were
sitting in a bat like a really really heavy loaded
division and it's like, Oh, they're in the a f
C wet store there in the NFC West, Like, yeah,
they're going to have their work cut out for him.
(10:04):
I don't again, I think that's it's all hypotheticals with
talking about if anybody is going to be good in
the NFC South, you really have to talk yourself in
and convince yourself that Tampa Bay isn't one of the
top two or three best teams in the NFC, Like
(10:24):
you you really you really need to do you really
need to do hardcore drugs if you honestly that they're
not one of the top five teams in then But
that like right there, tells you there's just a lot
of haters, Like there's people that want to see them fail.
And I don't get it. I don't I don't know
what is it because he decided he wanted to come back.
I mean, did this exist? I don't know the fact
(10:48):
that he looks younger at die up good? What do
you get it, Bertie? Is that what it is? We're
gonna go plastic surgery, botox, look box, Come on, that's
an in and out procedure. He could easily just go
in and out for that. Yeah, you don't need ten
days away for that. My wife, like you still trying
(11:08):
to tell me she's gonna go run some air and
she'll go get botox. I'm like, the hell, you don't
get your face that chiseled off a boat. Tops. All
botox is filler. It's not chiseler. You know, it's all
the avocado ice. So what do you say that, Like
you think he's legitimately getting like facial reconstruction. I mean, look,
(11:29):
it does look a lot different. I ain't gonna Lisa.
He doesn't look as puffy. It looks like he's got
less inflammation than his body. Yeah, there's that. It could
be his diet, honestly, I mean he doesn't he doesn't drink.
He doesn't drink during the season. He doesn't drink. Man,
if you don't drink, like I feel like you can,
you could tell the people who are like when they're
shredding now, they're not gonna be a fun time, but
(11:51):
they're gonna have a six pack their entire life. I mean,
but again, I mean, if you don't drink, I mean,
do you even count you know what I mean? Like,
does it. I mean, I can't trust you. Yeah, there's
I means, so again, he's not drinking during the season.
You know he doesn't. But there's the speculation that's out
there that well, what was that ten days away for?
(12:11):
I mean, you know, so again, this is this is
part of the off season that's been the Tom Brady
off season. And apparently people think that if it is
plastic surgery, that all of it. I mean, there's a
lot of that going on. But I can tell you this,
I'm excited that he's gonna be with us at Fox.
I think he's going to do a fine job to Fox.
(12:33):
With Fox. He's gonna be at Fox. Yeah. It's it's
place to be, man, It's the place to be, you know,
for everybody. All Right, it is two Pros and a

(13:15):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and

Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Here on Fox
Sports Radio again. A little over twenty minutes from now,
it's the b Q News, Big Times Today Florida Day.
(13:36):
By the way it is today is Florida. That's up day, Yeah, Floridaday. Alright, well,
we've got to really interesting, so we we get ready
for that at about twenty minutes from now. But right
now it's time the old p Petros Papadecas. He is
the co host of the Petros and Money Show on
the Blowtorch Am five seventy l a Sports Fox college
(13:59):
football analyst. Petro's the hell is happening? Good morning, Good morning,
Good morning everybody. Hello, do you guys Petro vacation or something? Okay, yeah,
because people were texting me like what happened? To the show,
and I was like, I have no idea they exist
on a different plane than I do. I just show
(14:20):
up on Wednesdays. Well, I mean, I was in Hawaii
and I was listening to you call the Utah State
game from altitude. I got some watch Fandy put it
down on on Hawaii. No. I saw Hawaii looked looked
okay early and then I turned my head and turned
back and they were down like fifty or something. They
(14:41):
scored a touchdown and then they went down by poor
timmy change. I know, it's terrible. They looked bad. Man.
You know who didn't look good either? The first half
was was Utah State. I was, I was really upset
by that outcome there because some of may have may
have I saw that point spread and be like, oh,
(15:02):
Uta looks like a team should You'll take care of
you con Petros, but that's your boy. Well, who does
Utah State play this week? Obama? Yeah, they might have
slipped walked through that one a little bit. They were
looking I think they were looking a little bit forward
to Alabama. But that being said, if we are going
to break down the Utah State Yukon game, I thought
(15:25):
Yukon played hard they played their ass off. They lost
their starting quarterback, their best receiver, and pretty much their
whole game plan in the first couple series of the game,
and they kind of hung in there and played defense
and had a great looking little linebacker, not little in
(15:45):
the crap out of the football. Yeah, they ran the
ball well, but Utah States not too interested in stopping
the run either, So anyway that yeah, they they did
look a little lackadaisical in the game, but I understand
with Alabama looming and a team that didn't look like
it could compete with you offensively as far as just
volume goes uh in front of you. So we'll see
(16:08):
this week. I have can't state the golden flash. Yeah
at Washington. All right, So, yeah, the debut of Klin Dubor.
So you you traveled. You were in Logan, Utah last week,
and now you're going to be up in Seattle and
you know I don't travel. What do you mean no longer?
(16:29):
Are you trying to embarrass or something? Not? Because I
heard you and Alex spouse to make a joke about
how you guys were in altitude and I thought it
was funny. I don't know if anybody caught it during
the broadcast. It was good, Alex did. It was fine.
I'm sure it was hilarious. It was Hey, look, I
go to work. I'm so tired of everybody bugging me
about where the game. I called the game where they
(16:50):
tell me to call the game. Hey, what's your hottest
topic for the show today? For your show? I have nothing.
That's five in the morning. I have Uh, well, let's
see LaVar the Dodgers you're interested about, Let's let's do it. Uh.
The Dodgers and the Mets played last night four to three,
(17:16):
I believe or something was the game or three to two.
The Dodgers dominated in every phase of the game. It
was supposed to be a big series because they're supposed
to run into each other in the playoffs. So everybody
was paying attention. Because of the lack of interest in
August baseball, this one kind of had people's interests. So
(17:36):
I guess we'll talk about that. Uh. I watched a
cool movie from the seventies by when Wim Wenders called
An American Friend, which was a different adaptation of a
Thomas h. Ripley book. The books by Patricia Highsmith, like
the Talent of Mr Ripley. No, no, the other Okay,
(18:00):
I'm sorry, No anything else. I don't know. You tell
I mean, go ahead, Jonas, why don't you come by
the studio and see how we call a game from
from the fox? Come get your boy Brady? I mean,
I I don't know what his tactic is. He just
he just got back from a nice speaking What do
you mean. I thought it was funny they were they
were making mention of it. And I don't know if
(18:22):
anybody caught that during the altitude during the broadcast, because
it's hard to briefe for the players. Broadcasters have no
trouble talking and filling the room with hot air. Well,
but that's why we would mention the altitude at least.
Can I ask you this. I assume you watched Nebraska
(18:45):
Northwestern and well I was preparing for the real slobber
knocker between Yukon and Utah State. Understand, But but I
I assume you've you've watched and seen kind of what transpart,
what happened your in your opinion? Where does this go
for Scott Frost? I don't know, man, I don't know.
I mean, this is this like a few weeks that
we're talking about changers. I remember, No, I don't know.
(19:07):
Nebraska is an interesting place football wise, and he really
is one of their favorite sons. Of course, he is
testing them pretty deeply. And we could be having this
conversation about Timmy Chang in a few weeks with Jonas,
you know and love and Rainbow WOI after the first season.
Really I'm joking, but I don't know. I think, yeah,
(19:30):
I think when it comes to uh, Scott, I remember,
I don't know what was it like eighteen or something
like that. I was in Illinois doing a Nebraska Illinois
game on like a Thursday night. Traveled for that one.
Jonas and uh Mike Riley who was an old, really
(19:52):
close old friend of mine and our old coach when
I was at USC in the late nineties offensive coordinated
before he took the in state and then the Chargers job.
Mike Riley was walking around and everybody knew he was
a dead man walking, and everybody talked about Scott Frost
is gonna come and say the program, and Scott Frost
(20:12):
is gonna come from UCF and it's only a matter
of time before Scott Frost changes everything. And we all
felt that way, and everybody thought that it was a
perfect fit, and it worked beautifully. And now I saw
some stat the other day that Frost would have to
win like his next fifty games to even match bo
Polini's record. And Bo Polini wasn't good enough for Nebraska, right,
(20:35):
he wasn't the right guy for Nebraska. They got rid
of him. Sure, he was a little wild, and they
sent him to Youngstown State. So I don't know where
they go from here. I don't know what they do.
I no longer know what reality is for Nebraska football.
And I am one of those and we've had this
conversation for years and years who is just devastated about
(20:58):
what they did to Frank's Leich. I blame Notre Dame
and Brady Quan Tommy Zimbikowski for the cutting off the
head of the beautiful veer option and when they did that,
when they when they cut you can't put the head
back on and make a zombie vier. Why can't they
bring it back? Because Brady, you of all people, know
that the veer is like a giant tree. That's like
(21:21):
Jonas going and cutting down the Banyan tree. And don't
do it, dude, Well you can't. You can't do it
because no one wants to come play in that system anymore.
That's not well, know what, Well, no one really did
anymore at all in the No one does now assuredly.
Maybe back then you get some running backs for people
who might might have done it. But now the beauty,
(21:44):
the beauty of what Nebraska did longer than anybody else did.
And Brady is right, there was a recruiting issue. But
at the same time, I don't know, they did it
with the Macavica brothers like freaked out walk off in Iowa,
you know. But the other thing they were doing was
getting elite linemen and things like that and running army offense,
(22:06):
an offense you would run with the team that's not
competing for the championship. Every year. They ran that with
elite athletes, you know, Lawrence Phillips and guys like that
out there running around and that's what made it so
different and so beautiful all the way up to the end.
To be honest with you, Frank Soulis won nine games
and then he got fired. So I think everybody in
(22:29):
Nebraska would go back to the vier if they had
a choice. They'd never let go of Callahan, They'd never
would have gotten away from coach Osborne's coaching tree. And
that's what you do when you try to be like
somebody else and you lose your identity. Petro's I feel
like Scott up next the BQ new by the way,
(22:49):
I remember when we I think we were talking to you,
Um you were you had a Nebraska game a couple
of years ago. I think it was early on in
Scott Frost's tenure, and the the point was, man, why
are they a preseason top twenty five team? If? Like,
what what gave anybody hope that this team would be
anywhere in the top twenty five coming into this season?
(23:11):
And I think you even mentioned that Scott Frost told
you he tried to keep everybody's expectations low. Yeah, listen,
we're trying to focus on this and we're trying. I
feel like he had the right expectations going into the job,
more so than anybody else with the program and the
fan base, and now you're seeing him try and tell everybody,
don't give up on us, don't give up on us.
(23:32):
But it feels like everybody has sort of now started
to distance themselves. Trev Alberts came in, there was some
back and forth as to whether or not he was
even gonna be back this year. It feels like Scott
Frost has had the right mindset this entire time, but
it's the fan base that maybe as an unrealistic expectation
for where the program should be. You know, he is
an interesting guy to talk to, and he is kind
(23:53):
of a quiet guy in a way, but he was
really I mean I remember sitting with him and he
was like, look, dude, the real black shirts that show
up to watch practice that are in their fifties. I
want to put a uniform on those guys because we
don't have those guys. You know that our guys do
not walk out of the tunnel and freak everybody out
(24:14):
like they used to. And if that's not happening, then
it's not really Nebraska football. Like I I don't know
what this is. I mean, I know it's Nebraska football,
but it's it's it's tough to see because every year
the expectations are so high. If you've ever been to Lincoln, Nebraska,
it's a really cool place for football. They deserve a
better football team and program, and it's interesting to me
(24:38):
people will go to Oklahoma and play and I don't
know what's so different between uh Norman and Lincoln. Maybe
that's an idiot West coast elitist, coastal elite attitude that
I have because everywhere in the Midwest sort of seems
the same to me. But I don't understand why Oklahoma
can recruit and Nebraska can. Does that make sense? I mean, like,
(25:01):
how can Iowa have a ten ten game kind of
win season every year without any problems or real well,
I guess they've had some problems, but you know what
I mean, without a lot of turnover anything like that.
How how come Nebraska can't do it? What's wrong with Nebraska?
I don't know. They just don't have a foundation in
(25:21):
a culture right now, right like they kind of after
obviously they made the transition because offense you talk, um Petros,
I do want to ask you this question because if
you actually look through like the Scott Frost tenure which
he first got there, and whaten was that when he
took over, it would have been like when I was
(25:42):
out there with coach Riley. Okay, So what's interesting now
is I always feel like coaches before the transfer portal
had to go through this period of like waning guys out,
and I kind of vaguely remember that being sort of
the deal, like early on, like meeting with them calling
some games. He was like, yeah, we gotta get the
roster kind of where we needed to be to do
(26:03):
what I'd like to do. And like, it's funny you
mentioned the black Shirts because he said something along those
lines that were similar. I look at now with the
transfer portal, and I wonder if he had started in
two and this was his you know, last year, maybe
where you have the ability to flip a roster with
the transfer portal, because I mean in that game, you
(26:24):
immediately saw Trade Palmer, a wide receiver who had an
impact the other wide receiver who had an impact in
that game, Like you saw that. Okay, like this is
working out Casey Thompson played great in the first half.
I would have a good year. I mean, I remember
Kelly's first game ever. Remember it was a disaster. Mike
Ballati ended up on the sideline and uh but the
(26:46):
struggling the guy got punched, you know, turn it turned
it around faster. If he had taken over last year
this year, given the rules of the transfer portal, well,
it depends. I mean, can he worked the transfer portal.
I don't know, I mean it and it always the best.
I mean, the transfer player and transfer portal. Just that
word has become the cap space of college football. It's like, well,
(27:08):
who plays for the Lakers. I don't know, but they
got cap space. I mean, if you you know, it's
like put put that name on the back of a
jersey that becomes somebody at a certain point, like the
transfer portal becomes flesh and blood, and it becomes a
guy that's out there. And I know I'm not telling
you something that you don't already know, but we just
called a game and the coaches were saying, well, yeah,
(27:29):
this guy's safety. We got him. He came in from
Florida and he's special and he's pushing the defense. And
I remember watching the first series and watching a guy
from Yukon who probably got recruited by Colgate and it's
just like step on the guy's throat and kick him
out of bounds. And I was like, damn, what happened
to that guy? What happened to transfer portal guy? Oh,
he became flesh and blood. He got dog bount in
(27:50):
a real game, you know, saying we got a guy
that transferred in does not automatically mean you're you're saved.
You know, they they you know, well we filled a
gap there with a transfer portal. It's like, okay, well,
let's let's play and see what happens. And I think
it's gonna be really interesting, like you mentioned, Brady, to
see which of these transfer guys come come, uh, come
(28:14):
up and do well and play a role on their team,
and which ones don't, and which ones uh caused trouble
on their teams, and which teams did it right and
which didn't, and some places it will become divisive, you
know it will. Uh. So I'm interested to see how
it plays out in the next few weeks with all
(28:34):
these kind of newly formed flipped rosters that you've alluded to.
I think it makes this year extremely interesting because we're
gonna see the fruits of our labors, and some of
them maybe sour. That doesn't necessarily mean bad though sour
sour fruit is good too. Yeah, come on it, yeah,
(28:56):
some of us. I mean it's going bad. Uh. First.
By the way, by the way, petros Uh, speaking of Nebraska,
where does before we let you go, where does the
neck roll on? Corey Slesh in your rank amongst your
all time favorite? Great question. You know, I always think
a Cox like Brian Cox, the very good. So Brian
(29:23):
Cox is number one. Uh, Corey Flesh and Carolina has
got Georgia Southern this week? Want to talk about we
want to make that joke. What I like is uh,
I like the doughnut of yesteryear that made it look
like you had like some kind of tumor on your back.
So you you had the the just a normal neck
(29:43):
roll that would like a tube that like you could
use to beat beat somebody with, right, Uh, And then
you get the string in it and you tie it
in your shoulder pads, right. But then you get the
doughnut you like on the back of it. Yeah, like
one of those things that looks like what they would
put on like a bat when you're doing your warm up.
If you put the if you put the doughnut on
(30:04):
the back, and then you look like a real hunched
freak in the nineties with the hangy sleeves. And then
you get your skinny ass arms coming out with a
hangy sleeves and the bands back and that's how you roll.
Brady wouldn't know that because he's a pretty quarterback type.
You think I didnt play week side linebacker back in
the day, you are a dead rawut cowboy call. I
(30:29):
used to take that thing off on the sidelines, would
have to go and play quarterback. Imagine switching that back
to see now the cowboy collar. We went. Cowboy collar
was like, that's like that's some Ohio football for you.
A guy who's playing like weak side linebacker. The then
you has to go take it off and go play quarterback.
That never ever has happened in the state of California
(30:51):
high school football ever, never happened. Whatever position does he
played quarterback, everyone else will will lineback. This guy's cleaning
up in the backs, Yes he is. Did you really
take your neck roll off when he would go play quarterback? Yeah?
I think we can run, Bob and at Brady, you
(31:14):
can try. I have filled that whole quick or with
our quarterback my freshman year all everything, So I'm not well,
that does happen a lot of the time. You know,
the quarterback is the best player on the team. You
just see that at almost every level. It's kind of
like playing shortstop. So I can see that, Brady, I
(31:34):
can see you run into the sideline and like, what
was the movie with a dam Sandler and he goes
like goes and tackles a water boy. If I if
I threw a pick, dude, I swear to you, I
would be belonging to that guy trying to end his life.
I was so angry about throwing a pick, and I
swear to God used to make that sounds the worst
(31:59):
thing ever? Is we all the water boy? Uh? The
night before we played Stanford. They used to take us
to see movies all the time, and we did win.
I scored two touchdown. It was hard for me to
shake that nickname for quite some time, the water because
of the shame and fury that I played with this
(32:20):
well pets, I bet you talked a lot of trash,
didn't you know? I couldn't breathe. I talked trash with
my giant bulged out eyes. Oh man, I get him.
Every once in a while, I told somebody like I
was going to kill their mother or something. I did
(32:40):
tell one guy that his girlfriend was having sex with
another guy on our team. It was a U C
L A guy and yeah, and he went and then
they took me out. My package came out of the game.
Uh and uh and then he had like your package package,
you know, like like the tight end packet and uh
(33:03):
and he he went on to have like three sacks
in a row, just tossing Carson Palmer into the dirt
like all furious and like I was like screaming into
the skies, and I was like, maybe I shouldn't have
you know, bad timing there. Oh man, Well maybe that's
why they retired as Jersey dude. I hope they Well,
I'm gonna haven't. I'm gonna have him put a chiron
on Brady if he works this weekend. That's hiss. Brady
(33:25):
Quinn quarterback slash will line back. So I just push,
I just put the neck roll on and on under
that beautiful I'm gonna do shrugs until I put just
give me something heavy. What's all the veins in his neck?
Don't worry about him. I've been shrug was a cowboy
(33:48):
collar guy. I believe you made the cowboy collar famous
and frightening in the college levels. Thank you. It's true
it was. And you know, the cowboy caller you had
to put on under your paths, so it wasn't easy
to take on and put off like Brady's neck roll,
which was Velcrove. Uh good. Get him on Twitter at
the old p Petros We love you, will do it

you by the Great State of Florida. The headline reads
Florida sex offender accused of trying to buy a child
again at a grocery store for one thousand dollars. Yes,
(36:05):
according to the affid David Um parents had some clear
concern when someone was insistent on attempting to purchase their
daughter in a grocery store. Um. The girl's parents told
the police that the gentleman came up to them, made
comments about the child's appearance and asked about her age,
and the parents believed they were it was harmless, but
yet a creepy conversation. Well after they left the store
(36:26):
with the child, the gentleman actually ran out and shouted
to get their attention. Hey, Hey, I want to make
a deal with you. Bystanders tried to intervene and asked
him why he would offer money before he went back
to the store. He was later arrested at his home
for making this attempt again again again. Like this guy
should already be locked up. What the hell is he
(36:48):
doing roaming wind Dixie's looking to purchase children again? What
what is happening here? How is this allowed? I have
no idea. I just think it's a bad look for
when Dixie, Yeah, yeah, you don't see this happening in
Publix or god no, yeah sprouts or fresh market foods.
(37:10):
That's not happening there. When Dixie, oh, man, I'll move on,
I'll move on. I mean it was arrested Thursday after
a fight over a cigarette ended. Yeah, apparently you got
in the fight with family members after he tries to
use a toaster up and to light a cigarette, someone
end up getting stabbed. That you can't make this stuff up. Man,
(37:35):
Some people don't really like the smell of cigarettes. I
mean it's offensive. So he also beat on his neck.
It was a lot. Listen. Don't stand in front of
a man trying to get a long dart, you know,
and if he's got to use a toaster having a lighted,
what's the problem. What the issue is priorities. Fox Sports
