Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is the best of two pros and a couple
of Joe with Lamar areas Brady Quinn and Jonas knocks
on radio. So we got Brady, we got issues over
here in southern California. Yeah, what's going on? It's raining. Yeah,
(00:21):
and when it rains, uh, every everything is a little
bit of a mess. The roads are slick. You know.
Thank god for tirac dot Com. You know they're gonna
help you get to places safely and and safe and sound.
But yeah, we're all out of sorts here because of
the rain is throwing everybody off. I mean it is
just it gets like that in South Florida as well.
And we actually have a storm coming our way. So
(00:43):
it's gonna be a little dicey here Tuesday, next next
two days. We'll see. We'll see how the weather holds up.
But yeah, we we we we struggle with the same thing.
Once it starts raining, people aren't used to ever driving
in snow. Once it starts rainting, people just they lose
their minds. They act like they're based on a slipping
slide out on a highway. It's like you could still drive.
(01:04):
These vehicles are designed to be okay driving through the rain.
There there are some people that drive a little too fast,
though I will say that they don't they have they
don't have. No, there's no idea of like, you know
what if I'm going twenty miles over the speed limit
in these conditions, that might end up poorly and it's
just gonna throw everybody else up his right mind. You know,
(01:25):
no risk, No biscuit, that's true. That's a good point, biscuit. Um,
Can I apologize? I would like to apologize to start
the show, because I feel like it's it's better to
do this. Well, I like to apologize to Kirk Cousins,
all right, And I'm just I'm saying it will make
sense once we get to the end of this. But
Kirk Cousins is a no, it's not a bit like
this is this is real. There are numbers behind this.
(01:46):
Kirk Cousins is that his balls broken, all right, And
people listening on the Yellowhorn, the k fan in the
Twin Cities are fine, affiliate, they know this. He's had
his ball. It's a yellowhorn. Yeah, the blow towards I'm
making h yeah, that's fan. Yeah, what was that? The different?
(02:09):
Oh it's a different Oh blown in through through your
mouth and the other one. What the hell was that? Bertough?
He found a different sound effect he's added to his son.
What's just happened? I don't know. It's like the Brown's
new quarterback. But well, you know, we will like just pants.
(02:35):
He would probably be right. It's very point being. Kirk
Cousins is all iced out on a plane and his
teammates are starting to embrace him. And I think that
he's sort of been labeled incorrectly because everybody mocks Kirk
Cousins for his poor performance outside the one pm Eastern
time window. There's a lot of people that want to
(02:56):
blame Brady and I for pointing that out initially the
whole thing to dive on that. But you're you're the
one that keeps hammering it. Okay, Well, I would like
to say this. I want to apologize to Kirk Cousins
because he now can step aside and step right up
Andy Dalton, who is now six and twenty on Monday
Night football and two and seven in night games in
his career. So I'd like to apologize to Kirk Cousins.
(03:19):
Andy Dalton would like to take that from me and
borrowed for the next couple of years. So there's that
to that point. Yeah, um, what the hell happened last
I don't know, I was saying. I was like, all right,
Saints said, hold me, it's a point a half spread,
should be a tight game. But with the way they
played versus the Raiders, I thought the defense has come
out stunt and I thought, you know that, you know,
(03:40):
they'd be able to do more running the football. They
just I mean, I don't know, maybe maybe the Ravens
are just that much better, but that NC South just stinks.
All the teams they all stick, all of them just stink.
You know. In the midst of everything that's going on
in Indianapolis, you start to really look got a team
(04:00):
like the New Orleans Saints, and you cannot undervalue a coach.
You can't undervalue what Sean Payton brought to the table
to this team. This was a team that has been
competitive even with the same type of questions that have
existed for this team this season, they've existed for this team.
I mean, maybe you had Drew Brees, but when when
(04:21):
you've dealt with injuries to Drew Brees and you've had
to to use other quarterbacks, bringing in other quarterbacks. I
mean the whole Teddy Bridgewater deal. You know, Taysom Hill
playing well when he had his opportunity. It was what
five and oh when he was playing. You have this,
You have all of the same situations existing for this team,
(04:44):
and in some cases you could say they were they're
a better team, um personnel wise, when they brought in
guys like you know, the Honey Badger and just just
looking at getting Michael Thomas back, whatever it may have been,
you and undervalue the presence of a dope ass coach.
(05:05):
And and I know it's always going to be players
over xs and os, you know, but at the end
of the day, you still have to have someone that
can not only manage the people who do the xs
and os and and and see what's going on with
that and how that applies to your team and your personnel,
but you also have to be able to manage those
players in the locker room. You have to be able
(05:26):
to manage those coaches who are coaching those guys in
the locker room. And I think that that's what you're
seeing in New Orleans right now. This is a team
that doesn't have a real To me, it doesn't have
a real defined direction on which which where they're going. Yeah,
it's almost like they're waiting on whether or not they're
running backs. Canna assault anybody outside an elevator. Again, you know,
(05:50):
they're just not they're they're not quite sure. I'm just
saying they're not. They're not quite sure. Wait, I'm getting punished,
but I'll become here hasn't yet, Well, it happened back
in you know, the Pro Bowl when there was a
Pro Bowl. Oh my gosh, but hey, are are the
are the Ravens? If you were to go down the
(06:12):
list of players on their team, their roster, their coach,
do they have the most red asses in the NFL
as far as guys that are just willing to get
into it, Like whether it's you know, Ronnie Stanley or
Marcus Peters. Dude used to get in fights at college.
He left earlier and he was, you know, first round talent.
(06:33):
Lamar Jackson spike in the ball because he was frustrated
during that game last night. I'm mad at his offensive
lineman and then there john at each other. They're Baltimore
is fun to watch. I mean the same question seemed
like they still pop up with Lamar Ji Jackson, the
passing must He's fantastic. I love it, really is he.
I mean, I like, I hope he gets paid. I
(06:54):
I don't know where that whole thing is at at
this point, but he deserves it. I mean, they are
literally playing with the Skeleton crew to throw too and somehow,
some way, he's They're making it work. He's making it work.
You know, they're they're winning football games. So it goes
to show you like that was one where they were
going into the game. I'm thinking, all right again, the
way the Saints have played last week, their defense finally
(07:17):
started to come around Camara's back. You know, he looks good.
This thing is setting up where Baltimore without Gus Edwards,
without j K. Dobbins, no Mark Andrews, no Rashon Bateman,
It's gonna be tough for them to do anything. And meanwhile,
the Saints go out there and just laying eggs. I look,
give all credits to the Ravens, um but I'm not
(07:39):
sure what to make of a both situations because because
I think the Ravens have a shot and winning the
a f C North, you know, the even since then,
I think they're both playoff teams. I'm sure who's gonna
end up taking over. But as far as the NFC
South looks, it's awful. I mean, it's just an a
like if you go through the schedule for the Tampa
Bay Bucks and every other team in there. I mean,
(07:59):
I don't know what number they have to get to,
but is it eight nine? Does eight nine win that
division at this point? God? Um? Probably I don't think
you need. Yeah, you probably don't need double digit wins
to win that division. I meanin shoe it for the division. Yeah,
eight and nine I think might get it done. Though
if you look at the schedule it breaks down for
(08:20):
all the teams in particular though Tampa. I don't even
know if I should include the Saints so dy as well,
say Atlanta at this point, Yeah, I think the Saints
are finished. Um, Atlanta has been much better than I
thought they'd be. Like I thought there was a chance.
I thought there was a chance Arthur Smith would be
uh and and but they were projected to be the
worst team in the NFL. I think Atlanta was projected
(08:40):
to have the lowest win total in the league. If
I'm not mistaken, it was like four wins or something.
Like that. So they've already matched that sitting at four
and five. Um. Yeah, but I thought Arthur Smith might
be in jeopardy as far as this season and how
it was going. But if if Atlanta just adds a
quarterback or if they are in a position that's why
they were in the market for Deshaun Watson, if they
had a quarterback with those weapons on offense, like, Atlanta
(09:04):
is kind of an interesting team all of a sudden,
But it does feel like Tampa Bay is just going
to run away with that division because New Orleans, New
Orleans and Carolina are shelves of of what anybody thought
they were going to be coming into the season. It's
a shame. But didn't you didn't, LaVar have Baltimore to
go to the Super Bowl? Yes, yes, I have Baltimore
versus Green Bay. Well, and I have Baltimore winning. Okay, man,
(09:28):
you're still gonna shot what I mean? At least I
didn't say the Las Vegas Raiders shots fire shots Oh
no sound effect for that one. Yeah, yeah, about We're
gonna need assistance off the os California shots fire by LaVar.
Please please set help out to Sherman Oaks, Fox Worth
(09:51):
radio station shot. What was the what was the the
meme you said over the radar the guy got ye,
Terence Howard and hustle and flow. Come on man, hey man,
it's some oxygen Maine. Yeah, that's that's the Uh, that's
the Raiders. Well listen, supporters. Is just like I mean,
(10:15):
at this point, the Raiders is well talk they gotta
have the conference state against Michigan they got come on ago.
This is just too negative for me. That's just one
That's just one game, you know, I mean how many
times do we say that about the Las Vegas Raiders?
Huh yeah, twice? Yeah, you get to say it twice? Hurts.
(10:37):
Let mean, let me let me let me go ahead
and pull up the Raiders. Uh what they've done this season?
That's them against Michigan. That's well, that's them against Ohio State. Okay,
well you know what does that look like for What
does that look like for the Raiders though? Huh? You
know what I think this is? This goes back to
(10:58):
the immaculate reception Raiders, Steelers, can't guess, can't late, can't
get over it. I wish Berto did it through the
white guy voice. She does Bernos white guy boys. And
I also the fact that they just lost to the Jags.
I mean that's not like saying Michigan or Ohio State.
You you lost to the Jaguars, you know, by the way,
(11:22):
that was your last loss, you know, and if we
want to keep going, you know, there was a loss
before that, you know, to the Saints where y'all got
shut out. You know. Then there was the loss to well,
you know, the schedule this yeah, I mean, I mean,
you guys did get a win against the Texans, but
(11:44):
then there was the Chiefs, Brady the rain man, you know,
changes everything, saying the Titans changing, kind of wondering like
these shows, I might get wiped out by the storm,
whatever's coming in. We'll see. Really, Oh yeah, it's it's
like it's gonna be a direct hit game. Well listen
(12:04):
with it. With our technical prowess here, I think everything's
gonna be fine. You know. By the way, West, we
had the conversation, We had the audacity to have the
conversation before the football season got underway, talking about the
a f C West. There's going to be four teams
(12:26):
in the playoffs, right, it's possible. We had Brady trying
to figure out the mathematics of how all four we'll
get it. You know, we don't have to do that
math o. You know what that math That math came
in Andy because you could just applied to the FC
East that is true, that goes above. Maybe it wonts
make it from the a f C East. You know,
(12:47):
it's really far away from the the Chargers six and
three that they're the worst six and three team I've
ever seen in my life. It feels like they wouldn't
what do they want like four or five? If you
would have told me they were three and six, I said,
okaything I swear to like, I can't figure it out.
I think they won four or five games, but it
was so bad against Seattle that you just assumed they
(13:08):
were in the midst of like a five game losing streak.
And they got the Jaguars at home. Yeah, and they're
losing players left and right. They really have it out
for the West, Yeah they do. Yeah? Has can we
get Can we get a white guy? Boys? Please? Just
(13:28):
do A fed majority of our listeners, please come on
Berno fired up Martin Muldonado, Well listen, he's gonna win
a lot of games for us in the Future Guy's fantastic. Yeah, fellas,
I don't care if it's raining, I don't care. If
(13:51):
it's snowing, don't I don't care if it's nice and sunny.
Don't be disrespectful. Don't do it. Look at your watches
right now, It's time to stop treating your groins like
John introducing the Gillette Intimate Pubic Hair Trimmer, a gentle
and easy shade from America's number one trusted men's grooming brand.
(14:11):
Show your pubic regions respect with Gillette Intimate, the best
a man can get, because if you ain't respecting it,
your disrespect. Yeah, you've got problems, man, you got problems.
You're not lying. I'm just leave that alone. Get the right.
(14:32):
You don't have to worry about it. The right and
the first everything. Why is that? Uh? Why is that
the case for some people? For some people? You mean
every everybody. But you be sure to catch live editions
(14:56):
of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady, Quinn,
lavarre Ington and Jonas Knocks week days at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. All Right, So, the Indianapolis Colts have officially
become the clown show of the National Football League yesterday.
(15:18):
It was only a matter of time, you know. First
it was Matt Ryan getting benched. Then the next week
it was Marcus Brady, their offensive coordinator, getting fired even
though he doesn't call plays. And then the walls closed
in even more, this time on Frank Reich. He's now
out his head coach after they got pistol whipped by
the New England Patriots on Sunday. Absolutely brutal, and so
(15:40):
Jim mer say, but let's be clear here, though, man,
there there are no merits to oust him as an
owner just yet though. I mean no, of course not.
You know, everything's hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's
not derail the conversation into some another team, because this
is an absolute clown show. Alright, let's that could be
(16:00):
finible fence. But let's just talk about this group as
it currently stands. Um, this is an absolute dumpster fire.
I don't no marriage, but you know what, everything will
be fine. Uh. He just saw Jeff Saturday to a
segment on ESPN, so now he's gonna make him the
head coach. So so there's that Jeff Saturday. No high
(16:21):
school I think he's coaching in high school, but he's
got no college, no pro experience. But now he's going
to be the interim head coach for the remainder of
the season. So let's listen to Jim R say, who
put down the banjo decided to step away from the
tree he was leaning on and explain band show or
banjo ban joe? Yeah, there you go. There is that's
(16:43):
the guy picks apart every word and every time there's
no right. I didn't think there was a mistake. I
was just making sure I was because they were both
kind of funny to me, the band show or the
band cleaned up post production. I want to hear what
he had to say. Yeah, so that's I think we
should play to play the sound bites of the banjo.
All right, So Jim Ry has got his ban joe,
(17:05):
He's got his ban joe plugged in. He is ready
to fire away and make explanations as to why he
did what he did yesterday. When it came to the
head coach, we're the fourth winning his franchise in the
league since two thousand alright, that means in the upper
quartile of winners, were in the top quartile of that
upper quartile. You want to bet against this guy, put
your money down. People love to see it. I love
(17:29):
to see it. No, the game is not different. We
don't build rockets to go to Mars. We're not nuclear scientists.
That is none of our jobs here. It's a very
simple jobs that we do here. I don't know how
to make sausage. I don't know what goes into sausage,
but I do know how to build a football team
because I've been around for fifty two years. There is
(17:49):
no problem of perception, except some of you guys make
a problem of perception. But you did hits, so you
gotta do it. I understand. I do the same thing.
I was a broadcast journalism major too. I don't know
you guys ever held accountable to your editors, breaking lad
and saying well, you wrote that stuff. It was all wrong.
You're fired. But I'm not sending a fighter in the love.
(18:11):
You know when I think that that it's time and
let him get pummeled. No, you know, certain people just
have it. They have it and you see it when
when you know it. I've never hired a losing head coach.
(18:32):
We're the fourth winning his team in the league. It's
not about belief, it's about fact what we've done. We're
better than most all. It's that simple. Our record proves
it over a period of time, so that you don't
have to believe much when it's there in black and white.
I'm sold. Okay, well hold on, let me first off.
(18:53):
Let me first off ask you guys this, what do
you guys think Frank Reich's record was as head coach? There,
I would say he he had a winning record and
one and and actually every single time he had a
starting quarterback, regardless of the fact that he went through
(19:14):
a year after year after year. For example, Andrew Lux
last year they were ten and six. All right, you
go back to Philip Rivers. There are a playoff team,
they have leaden wins that year tend something like that.
Um even Carson wentz To went nine at eight and
and this year with Matt Ryan there are three three
and one when they pulled the plug on him, so
they were sitting there at at five. That would win
(19:36):
me the NFC South, right, But you know they've got
in trouble and it really just starts back before you know,
Frank Reig, this is more about Andrew Luck. No One
could have prepared for Andrew Luck basically just stepping aside
and saying I'm done. I think that sent this franchise
(19:56):
into a tail spin. After what they did to get
Andrew Luck, essentially tanking to get him and then him
deciding like I'm done, I don't I don't want to
do this anymore. It sent this franchise into a tailspin
that leads us to today. And that was quite the
press conference, But the truth of the matter is that's
(20:19):
how we got here. As crazy as Jim Rassay is
or sounds, he's not wrong. Like they've won a lot
of games. I mean, Frank Reich is one of the
better play calls, one of the better men you'll ever
meet in the NFL. Unfortunately this case, he has to
be the fall guy. And we could dive into the
minutia of how they came about to getting Jeff Saturday.
(20:41):
But this this franchise has been successful and especially when
they've had their starter, but unfortunately they've been searching for
that guy now and they didn't feel like Matt Ryan
was the guy. I never felt like Sam Ellinger was
the guy. I just think that was something Jimmers say
wanted to do. To essentially put him in a position
to tank. Like that's where I feel like they're at now.
I feel like all these moves are efforts to tank
(21:04):
so they can be in a position to take one
of these top quarterbacks in next year's draft, because there's
really no other explanation. When you have John Fox, who's
had been a head coach, been to a Super Bowl
in your staff, multiple super Bowls, and you've got Gus
Bradle who has also been a head coach on your staff,
doesn't make any sense to bring in someone who, outside
of maybe analyzing from the outside, has no idea what's
(21:27):
going on behind those walls. I'm glad you spoke to
the football side of it because I just want to
speak to the person's side of it. And just listening
to Jimmer say do his interview, I f and love them.
Y'all can hate them. People can hate him or think
that he's he's he's off his rocker or this and that,
(21:48):
and he may he may very well be. But I
love him, and I'm gonna tell you why I love
him because he's relatable. I I tend to think it's
it's funny, right, we have so many grapes and so
many concerns and complaints about guys, and people are complain
about him hiring Jeff Saturday. It'll it'll be turned into
(22:09):
a racial thing, It'll be turned into other things. It
will be turned into a whole lot of different things.
But the one thing that I like about Jim Hurry
says he's unapologetically who he is, and he sounds like
somebody that you know growing up. And that's the bottom line.
I can smell the cigarettes, I can see what what
the the surrounding area looks like. It could be a
(22:31):
mechanics uh mechanics office, and him telling you about how
he has to fix the piston and and how you
have to make some alterations to the exhaust system. Cigarette
burns in the newspaper. Come on, bro, he's got it.
He's got the tag on his shirt, you know, Jim
on his shirt, and and you're listening to him. We've
(22:54):
all come across the guy I talked, just like Jim Rcy.
I can't say that about every o or that's that's
an owner in the the National Football League. And for
right or for wrong, the dude lives in and what
he believes is the right thing for him to do.
He may not always present it in a in a
(23:16):
politically correct or acceptable way in which we have created,
um maybe the idea of what an owner is supposed
to look like or what he's supposed to sound like.
But nonetheless he has he has done a fine job
of of being an owner of the Colts. I mean,
(23:39):
you can look at again, you throughout some of the statistics.
You can look at what this team has done versus
some of these other teams out here, and you can
have the debate about what you feel about them as
as a winning organization, as a successful organization. But the
one thing that I take away from this and and
(23:59):
and I'm taking a little bit of a different angle,
in a different approach to this whole Jeff Saturday deal.
Sure it's a dumpster fire. Sure it's a mess, and
and and and maybe it's because Andrew Luck left it
that way. Maybe it's because of other reasons. I don't know,
but he gave Jeff Saturday a an opportunity for a reason.
(24:20):
I believe, and and and this is what we're taught
as players. I believe the brotherhood of playing the game
supersedes anything else racial, social, economic, It exceeds that So
the fact that a former player has gotten an opportunity
to step in and an inner room basis doesn't mean
he's getting it permanently. It means he's given an opportunity
(24:43):
to coach this team and lead this team and in
a moment right now where they feel like Reich wasn't
the guy to do it. Now, how that ends and
how that plays out, who knows, But I will say this,
it's probably because of the relationship between between Jill Rcy
and Jeff Saturday that Jeff Saturday is getting this opportunity.
(25:03):
And and to be honest with you, I hope he succeeds.
I hope, I hope he has a successful rest of
the way. I hope those those guys rally around it
and find a way to have success. Because to me,
to see a player have the opportunity to do it,
you know, all, he doesn't have any any type of experience, well,
neither did Dion. Dion wasn't a hate coach. Dion was
(25:26):
in this an assistant offensive coordinator. And he's having great success. Okay,
but that's at also a level that I feel like
it's a it's a little different, and he was you know,
coaching before that at a level right before he stepped
up to that, Like that's the next level. If you're
going to step up from coaching from high school to
college once you say like this is a pretty big jump,
(25:48):
I mean it's not. It's not a jump at all,
because he's I don't know that he's even has he
ever coached. I don't even know he's coached at high school.
He was currently coaching at high school. The problem with this,
to me is like the timing of all of it too.
It would be one thing if you want to interview
him after the season, if you felt that strongly about him,
(26:08):
you want to say, like Josh mccount with the Houston
Texans last year. If it's after the season you've got
a coaching search, that's fine, right, But in the middle
of the season, when you've got I mean again, John Fox,
he's been to two Super Bowls. You've got Gus Bradley's coached,
Bubba van Trone who's a budding star. You have other
(26:29):
coaches on this staff. Ron Miless has been the league
for thirty two years coaching. Like I could go on
down the line of the more experienced guys, Hell Kevin
Malay had a great career. He's on the staff, and
he's he's been coaching in the NFL for six years.
You have plenty of candidates you could have chosen, and
it would have made sense to at least get them
(26:50):
some rep sing experience, or at least make it not
a more smooth transition, Like I just I think you're
you know, you're saying, no, I'm not gonna put my
my fighter out there to let him just go get pummeled.
It feels a little bit like that. And look, bottom
line is maybe jim Ercay you know, talked about what
do you want to do moving forward and none of
(27:10):
those guys want to sign up for it. There Like
if I'm John Fox and any aspirations of being a
head coach can maybe he's thinking, well, I don't want to,
you know, lose every game the rest of the season.
If that, if that's ultimately what Jimmer says trying to do,
or Gus Bradley for that matter, or even Bubba been
Tron is like, I'm not gonna have any shot of
becoming a head coach if I'm the interim head coach
for a team that loses every game. From here, on out.
(27:32):
I mean, let's be real, they had a fighting chance
with Matt Ryan. Now with Sam Elinger, it just seems
like everything is up against him. And say what you
want about the play calling, but who the hell is
gonna call plays now? I would love to know the
answer to that question as to why Jeff Saturday. I
think that that's the question that will be. I think
(27:54):
I think I've got an answer for you. This is
how I think this could have played out, because I
think Jeff Saturday was there recently for one of the games,
like he was seen there, like actually in Indianapolis for
one of the games. I could have easily seen a
scenario where, you know, Jim Verse says, having himself a
few cocktails, having himself a good time, had a few
(28:14):
before that, end of you It sounded like it, and
and maybe maybe at one point, you know, he happens
to mention something to Jeff. You know, Jeff, if you
here would not you might maybe I need to bring
you in here to come coach the team, get us
through the rest of this thing. And Jeff, They're like, yeah,
that'd be fun, that'd be pretty cool. Yeah, oh yeah,
(28:34):
of course, Jim, And then all of a sudden They
end up decided to fire Frank Reich, and Jeff calls
him up today, Jif remember what you told me the
other day? Uh no, Jeff, I don't. Oh I well
you told me basically I could be the interim head coach.
The oh that's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, why don't
you want to come and be the interim head coach
for our team? Get us through the storm? He gets
(28:55):
through the rest of the season. See, I think he's
way more calculated than that. Oh really do? I think
is way more calculated. The really quick, really quick, let's
just go back through the history or something maybe bumped
into Hold on for a second, show us, if you
could join us, take us through the last time we
saw Jim Mercy when he was caught um for what
(29:17):
do you have in the practice? Call it? Well, there
was a tell me how calculated this sounds. Well, there's
a trash bag and there was a bunch of pharmaceuticals,
and I believe there was a bunch of cash, like
about twenty dollars. And I'm not mistaken, if memory serves
me correct, it was there there was a lot of
money in this trash bag, and so like again that
(29:38):
goes to Lavars. That's yeah, many people get relatable. It's
not calculated. I mean, I mean there's levels of calculation.
He was calculated that You never heard those fall guy,
You never heard of those Louis Batan glad bags. I
mean they're everywhere. I mean he can get him at
Nordstrom's and he just had them old with you know,
(30:01):
some some pills and a bunch of cash. I mean,
sounds joculate your honor. I don't know how that's got here,
but yeah, that's lapses and judgment in our lifetime. By
the way, I'd love to I'd love to calculate it.
Then what you guys are giving them credit? I love
to know who turned the job down? Was it Mike Vanderjack?
Did he call Pat McAfee maybe and say, hey, what
do you think? God? Do you know what? The worst
(30:22):
thing I read was that there was discaches. It might
be Danilovsky. Oh that's right, because Dan invented football, because
ESPN puts them on everything. And I was like, oh
my god, really, what's gonna teach me to run out
of the back of the end zone? Just say yeah, oh,
this is hate going on right now. This is this hate.
It was just like of a sudden, this net. It's
(30:43):
this wide casted debt. We're like everyone's now potential candidate
and you're going, okay, like really, are we really entertaining
some of the stuff right now? My goodness, it is too.
I would love to home to Super Jeff Jef hang
out with them. Well, I can guarantee you Jim Mercy
(31:04):
is awake right now, and Jim I'm the one his
kissing his ass so that maybe he'll give me a job. Hey,
I figured that. No, that's not what Mr Mr say
leaning against the tree. But Jeff just called. Hey, I'll
talk to you guys next year. Be sure to catch
(31:24):

Rob Parker on the I Heart Radio app or wherever
you get your podcast. So, uh, this was a really
really fun weekend in the world of college football. We
(32:09):
had a lot of moving, a lot of shaking out there.
Now Brady Quinn is really really happy about ruining the
season for the Clemson Tigers. I mean they came, yeah,
I mean they just uh, that'll go ahead and do
it for Clemson, not the toughest schedule. Then they go
and play Notre Dame and get smoked. That game wasn't
really all that close, and now Clemson is gonna drop
(32:31):
all the way down? Does feel like? It does feel
like if you look at the a CEC standings right now,
North Carolina, who was ranked seventeenth and the most recent ranking,
they have a clear path of the championship game and
Clemson still has one for the a c C on
their side. But if if you're the playoff committee, and
(32:51):
I'm not lobbying, by the way for Notre Dame to
get in by any means, but how could you put
either one of those teams in, regardless of who wins,
with one loss when they both got absolutely molly waffed
by Notre Dame. Like it just it doesn't seem like
either could make it in and so I do feel
like that was almost an elimination game. Now for the
a c C with the way they they've lost to
(33:13):
Notre Dame, both North Carolina, Miami, I guess Syracuse for
that matter too. They beat the crap out of Syracuse
and Alabama losing Brian Kelly and and L s U.
That's why you come to l Yeah, that's it's a
good point. They go for two. They get it all right,
So Brian Kelly got his ball's broken for his fake
accent and the way he left Notre Dame. Yeah. Next
(33:36):
message for those of you wondering whether or not LaVar
only does Mike McDaniel impressions no no, no no when
we play walkie talkies on the text chain, he does
a phenomenal Brian Kelly and Brushia. Yeah, it's really good.
L s U is probably going to venture into the
one top six or seven in the new college football
playoff rankings have come out. A lot of people think
(33:57):
they'll be sitting at seven potentially, um, you know, who knows,
maybe even higher. It is the sec S. That would
probably piss a lot of people off. But that was
fun that game against two bad losses. That that's the
one thing you're looking at, and that that would be
a jump from what ten I believe is what they were. Yes,
I believe. So yeah, so uh seven seven probably is
the minimum, but I'd say seven or six where they
(34:18):
end up making it. So what do we think the
college football the new College Football Playoff rankings are gonna
look like when they get released later on tonight. George's one, Yeah,
Georgie would have to be won with the win over Tennessee.
Ohio State stays at two, and then you think that
Michigan have five bumps up to three. And look, I'm
an advocate for TCU. I think, regardless of what people
(34:40):
think about the Big twelve, a lot of parody in
that conference. The team's nine and oh and they went
through a stretch or they beat four teams ranked in
the top four straight weeks. No one else is going
to have that to their credit be able to say that. Now.
I know some of those teams aren't ranked now, but
you know that doesn't matter going in the matchup. When
(35:00):
you have two ranked teams taken on one another. It's
a big deal, you know, a big new kickoff goes,
you know, college game day goes. You know what happens
after the fact. Obviously, the team that loses gonna end
up having a harder time recovering from that. But I
tend to give them a lot of credit for the
way they've played this year and the stretch they went through.
So I think that will be the fourth team, and
(35:22):
looked like you could have L s U and USC
right up there in the mix along with Tennessee. Like,
I don't know how far Tennessee will drop, but it'll
be interesting to see where they end up placing them.
I think therefore, I think it's Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan,
then Tennessee, I find it. I don't know that the
playoff committee is gonna drop that second SEC team all
(35:43):
the way out of the top four. Um. I just
think Tennessee is gonna be sitting there and then in
TCU is probably five, and then Oregon six. But I
wonder there's no possible way. I'm just trying to do
the math here. If L s U get to the
SEC championship game and wins That's what's gonna be interesting,
(36:04):
is if you have your first two lost conference champ
that makes it end because how do you take I
mean they were it's basically an automatic, right, whoever wins
the SEC championship and when's that game goes to the
culture the playoff, That's what the thought is. But this
would test that theory for sure, because then now that
goes back to when I did have a team that
was good enough to make it to the playoff and
(36:25):
they didn't make it to the playoff, but two losses, right,
but a team made it into the playoff that loss
didn't even win the Big Ten championship, right, didn't even
win their division? Right, it's what happened to them verse
Clemson that year. Uh, they didn't they get spanked? They did? Yeah? Yeah, Um,
(36:46):
we would have got spanked too, But I would have
liked to rather saw us get spanked as the Big
Ten champs and the representative than Ohio State that didn't
even win the Big Ten. Yeah, what do you so?
You were kind of mentioning that when we were talking
on Saturday after because it was crazy, I mean, all
those games that were going down to the wire and
you're just seeing all these teams in the top five
(37:08):
lose and then you know they're going to drop all
the way down. Is college football better than the NFL?
I love here. Well, I was just gonna say, I
think college football's regular season to me, is more entertaining
than the NFL. And it's impartant because you have less games.
There's a lot more of of I guess, unpredictable things
(37:29):
that happen, and just craziness. So I tend to think
that college football regular season is better than NFL regular season. However,
there's nothing like NFL playoffs, the Super Bowl all that,
like conference you know, the the a f C, NFC
conference championships like that. That's huge in and of itself.
So um And like some people would say, college football
(37:50):
has always been about the regular season. You know, you
go back before the playoff, right like we basically would
we would basically play a regular season. There wasn't even
conference championship games, and then you go play a bowl
game and then they the A p would vote on
who they think the best team is. So it's kind
of always been about the regular season. I do think
it's it's it's more fun in my opinion, I love it.
(38:10):
I love it so much, and not because I had
a better college career than I did a pro career.
I just think in terms of the entertainment value of
a Saturday versus a Sunday, there's way more excitement, even
like even amongst like like I said, I have a
whole bunch of kids that that live with me, um
(38:31):
and and you know, on Saturdays, all the all the
young fellas are eating cereal or you know, food is
being made, you know, pancakes or waffles and stuff like that,
and it's like the best thing since living on the
on on the West Coast is how much earlier the
games start, Like you don't have to wait too long,
(38:55):
Like even now being on the radio, the games are
starting and have started before I'm even off off air,
Like you gotta do an entire show with games in
full go, which is that would be difficult for me.
I'm not gonna lie, Like I love watching college football.
Sunday football, like regular season NFL football is like reading
(39:18):
a Bible for me. I I can make it through
three or four pages and then I fall asleep, and
then I gotta I gotta rewind, I gotta go back.
But it puts me to sleep, and and so then
I gotta go and make sure that I got the context,
make sure that I got whatever it is that But
(39:39):
when you get to the playoffs of the NFL, that
energy level is is is fire. It's fire, and then
Super Bowl is is you know, I put Super Bowl
second to a regular n C A a Saturday. You
know what I think college football has done. And I
give credit to Fox a little bit TESPN, but I
(39:59):
really know assists of the past couple of years, they've
really played up into the atmosphere of the game. So
like when when yeah, so like when Big newon kickoff
is like you spend part of the time, like you know,
the first hour or whatever, and you're outside the stadium
and then you go into the stadium and it's awesome.
Just the whole presentation, whether it was at Penn State,
(40:20):
you're at state College, and that whole setup. Last year,
I thought they did a tremendous job as far as
presenting all the traditions that jump around, all that stuff,
the snow in Ohio State, Michigan, just the whole the
whole scene was done so well that I think that's
what separates college football from the NFL. The NFL is
just like, hey, we'll go live to a stadium shot
(40:40):
and there's some people. There's Justin Tucker kicking eight yards pregame.
You go to a college football pre game, all the pageantry,
all that stuff, dotting the eye at all the capture,
you capture the essence so much, it's so awesome. Yeah,
And there's a few proteins that are like that actually
during the regular ease, and they're they're very supportive that way.
(41:02):
But for what it's worth, in college, it just feels different,
like the pageantry and the history of it or or
the traditions of it, because there's some certain things you
do at that time frame right where you've got college
students who are doing it right, the band, etcetera, and
the tail getting in, the partying, and you're like it's
just accepted. Like you're looking at you and go, yeah,
(41:23):
that makes sense. Then it's like if you have like
a band for a pro team, you're like, all right,
this is a little cheesy, a little bit it's cheesy.
Then you're watching some of that. The cheerleaders have never
been considered to be cheesy though. I take I take NFL,
I take pro chair leaders over college chair leaders. Well
then again, never mind, No, I take that back. I
take that back. You're fast tracking into a little Danny
(41:45):
Snyder Terrior microphone. I wasn't even talking about that. That
started thinking. I started thinking about Oregon and USC chair leaders.
I take that back. So, but the point is, like
in college, it's like it's all kind of accepted. It
feels like, all right, from high school you kind of
had those elements. It goes to college. Then when you
get to the pros, you're going, all right, there pros Now,
(42:06):
like no one really comes around for the Like there's
no band parents in the stands watching their kids right
or like during the halftime. It's just the whole thing
is an incredibly different, Like it's they're paid athletes. You're
there to watch them play. That's that's pretty much the
end of it. Even like the cheerleaders, I played for
teams that didn't have cheerleaders. I went to teams that
had childers. I never really noticed them in the NFL
(42:27):
because it's like not one of those things you see
or like really notice at that point. So I I
just I feel like there's a little difference to like
when they talk about the patch streaming me when I mean,
you just get to that pro level and you go,
uh the AC Yeah that AC nor Like that's I
get it. Because what the Browns the only the only
(42:49):
the Ravens have cheerleaders. No, no, they do, they do that.
They had them, they've had them. Yeah, Bengals have cheerleader dealers,
Baltimore does, but Pittsburgh, Cleveland don't. Yeah. Interesting, so interesting. Yeah,
I don't know. He noticed the cheerleaders. Cities cheerleaders. That
(43:14):
was a good city, good time everything. Yeah, for sure.
I think the Dolphins, the Dolphins of cheerleaders do they
have a lot of serious like that. That team has
more cheerleaders than anyone in the NFL. They were to
tell you something, as they should, but nonetheless, Pross like
(43:44):
certain things level you look at your skill all right, now,
that's kind of weird, like you're too old to be
doing that. You know, you are too old to be
playing instruments. Like Bill's Mafia gets a pass for jumping
through tables before it happens on like every college campus
and everyone's like, yeah, that's kind college whatever that Yeah
I jumped through a table, but it's like only Bill's
Mafia can do the Otherwise, people are like, dude, it's
(44:06):
a Sunday, You've worked tomorrow, like being an adult. And
then there's there's squirting mustard and catch up on each other,
which is just weird. Put it. I'll put it this way.
Roberto is a classic example of an NFL fan. His
team is not playing well, he stopped drinking. You know
what happens in college when your team is not playing drink,
you leave to go drink. It's the exact opposite, exactly.
(44:29):
It's still your team is doing well in their winning
you leave to drink more more like, no matter what
you're drinking, Yeah, no matter what that is. That is correct.
I got faded. I got so faded at that o'hose
State game. We need to catch on that. When you
missed Monday, I was traveling, right, I was traveling. I
(44:53):
requested off ahead of time. I mean, hell, I got
tucked to the call. You got a halt. Just spilled
my I told you guys, I spilled my long. I
was double fisting my long islands I got. I didn't
make it to two ten, but I didn't need to.
You know, I told you I saw champs. I saw
(45:14):
the champs always. Did you see the line outside? That's
why I was like, yeah, we're not. We're not all
the way down the block. You're not waiting in that line,
are you know? Come on? No, I don't want hey,
but I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. Um
shouts out to my people at pay Somatic. They threw
a tailgate party for me. That was fire and I
(45:39):
had We had professional bartenders there. We had my man,
uh DJ Richter there, you know he was he was
on the ones and two. Do you guys are drinking
that Matt mcgleen beer, the the leven beer? Yeah, yeah,
we didn't do that. We didn't have that sticks beer,
sticks beer. If he called the sticks beer, that would
that would be the straw that broke the camel's back
and he called it sticks Are that? I spoke to
(46:02):
Abdul yesterday, by the way, you know, let him know
I was proud of him and he's definitely earned the
right to be spoken about in those terms. Yeah he's been.
He's been good man for a freshman. But anyway, Uh yeah,
I danced my my long island pants drenched pants dry.
(46:25):
I danced him dry and was sore the next day,
like I played a game. I was sore from dancing.
I saw some of the videos. I did not realize
I could still move that way. How about it? Can
I see some of them sting to break. Let's take
a break. We take a break. I'm gonna show you
somebody get moved. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

It is the best of two pros and a couple
of Joe with Lamar areas Brady Quinn and Jonas knocks
on radio. So we got Brady, we got issues over
here in southern California. Yeah, what's going on? It's raining. Yeah,
(00:21):
and when it rains, uh, every everything is a little
bit of a mess. The roads are slick. You know.
Thank god for tirac dot Com. You know they're gonna
help you get to places safely and and safe and sound.
But yeah, we're all out of sorts here because of
the rain is throwing everybody off. I mean it is
just it gets like that in South Florida as well.
And we actually have a storm coming our way. So
(00:43):
it's gonna be a little dicey here Tuesday, next next
two days. We'll see. We'll see how the weather holds up.
But yeah, we we we we struggle with the same thing.
Once it starts raining, people aren't used to ever driving
in snow. Once it starts rainting, people just they lose
their minds. They act like they're based on a slipping
slide out on a highway. It's like you could still drive.
(01:04):
These vehicles are designed to be okay driving through the rain.
There there are some people that drive a little too fast,
though I will say that they don't they have they
don't have. No, there's no idea of like, you know
what if I'm going twenty miles over the speed limit
in these conditions, that might end up poorly and it's
just gonna throw everybody else up his right mind. You know,
(01:25):
no risk, No biscuit, that's true. That's a good point, biscuit. Um,
Can I apologize? I would like to apologize to start
the show, because I feel like it's it's better to
do this. Well, I like to apologize to Kirk Cousins,
all right, And I'm just I'm saying it will make
sense once we get to the end of this. But
Kirk Cousins is a no, it's not a bit like
this is this is real. There are numbers behind this.
(01:46):
Kirk Cousins is that his balls broken, all right, And
people listening on the Yellowhorn, the k fan in the
Twin Cities are fine, affiliate, they know this. He's had
his ball. It's a yellowhorn. Yeah, the blow towards I'm
making h yeah, that's fan. Yeah, what was that? The different?
(02:09):
Oh it's a different Oh blown in through through your
mouth and the other one. What the hell was that? Bertough?
He found a different sound effect he's added to his son.
What's just happened? I don't know. It's like the Brown's
new quarterback. But well, you know, we will like just pants.
(02:35):
He would probably be right. It's very point being. Kirk
Cousins is all iced out on a plane and his
teammates are starting to embrace him. And I think that
he's sort of been labeled incorrectly because everybody mocks Kirk
Cousins for his poor performance outside the one pm Eastern
time window. There's a lot of people that want to
(02:56):
blame Brady and I for pointing that out initially the
whole thing to dive on that. But you're you're the
one that keeps hammering it. Okay, Well, I would like
to say this. I want to apologize to Kirk Cousins
because he now can step aside and step right up
Andy Dalton, who is now six and twenty on Monday
Night football and two and seven in night games in
his career. So I'd like to apologize to Kirk Cousins.
(03:19):
Andy Dalton would like to take that from me and
borrowed for the next couple of years. So there's that
to that point. Yeah, um, what the hell happened last
I don't know, I was saying. I was like, all right,
Saints said, hold me, it's a point a half spread,
should be a tight game. But with the way they
played versus the Raiders, I thought the defense has come
out stunt and I thought, you know that, you know,
(03:40):
they'd be able to do more running the football. They
just I mean, I don't know, maybe maybe the Ravens
are just that much better, but that NC South just stinks.
All the teams they all stick, all of them just stink.
You know. In the midst of everything that's going on
in Indianapolis, you start to really look got a team
(04:00):
like the New Orleans Saints, and you cannot undervalue a coach.
You can't undervalue what Sean Payton brought to the table
to this team. This was a team that has been
competitive even with the same type of questions that have
existed for this team this season, they've existed for this team.
I mean, maybe you had Drew Brees, but when when
(04:21):
you've dealt with injuries to Drew Brees and you've had
to to use other quarterbacks, bringing in other quarterbacks. I
mean the whole Teddy Bridgewater deal. You know, Taysom Hill
playing well when he had his opportunity. It was what
five and oh when he was playing. You have this,
You have all of the same situations existing for this team,
(04:44):
and in some cases you could say they were they're
a better team, um personnel wise, when they brought in
guys like you know, the Honey Badger and just just
looking at getting Michael Thomas back, whatever it may have been,
you and undervalue the presence of a dope ass coach.
(05:05):
And and I know it's always going to be players
over xs and os, you know, but at the end
of the day, you still have to have someone that
can not only manage the people who do the xs
and os and and and see what's going on with
that and how that applies to your team and your personnel,
but you also have to be able to manage those
players in the locker room. You have to be able
(05:26):
to manage those coaches who are coaching those guys in
the locker room. And I think that that's what you're
seeing in New Orleans right now. This is a team
that doesn't have a real To me, it doesn't have
a real defined direction on which which where they're going. Yeah,
it's almost like they're waiting on whether or not they're
running backs. Canna assault anybody outside an elevator. Again, you know,
(05:50):
they're just not they're they're not quite sure. I'm just
saying they're not. They're not quite sure. Wait, I'm getting punished,
but I'll become here hasn't yet, Well, it happened back
in you know, the Pro Bowl when there was a
Pro Bowl. Oh my gosh, but hey, are are the
are the Ravens? If you were to go down the
(06:12):
list of players on their team, their roster, their coach,
do they have the most red asses in the NFL
as far as guys that are just willing to get
into it, Like whether it's you know, Ronnie Stanley or
Marcus Peters. Dude used to get in fights at college.
He left earlier and he was, you know, first round talent.
(06:33):
Lamar Jackson spike in the ball because he was frustrated
during that game last night. I'm mad at his offensive
lineman and then there john at each other. They're Baltimore
is fun to watch. I mean the same question seemed
like they still pop up with Lamar Ji Jackson, the
passing must He's fantastic. I love it, really is he.
I mean, I like, I hope he gets paid. I
(06:54):
I don't know where that whole thing is at at
this point, but he deserves it. I mean, they are
literally playing with the Skeleton crew to throw too and somehow,
some way, he's They're making it work. He's making it work.
You know, they're they're winning football games. So it goes
to show you like that was one where they were
going into the game. I'm thinking, all right again, the
way the Saints have played last week, their defense finally
(07:17):
started to come around Camara's back. You know, he looks good.
This thing is setting up where Baltimore without Gus Edwards,
without j K. Dobbins, no Mark Andrews, no Rashon Bateman,
It's gonna be tough for them to do anything. And meanwhile,
the Saints go out there and just laying eggs. I look,
give all credits to the Ravens, um but I'm not
(07:39):
sure what to make of a both situations because because
I think the Ravens have a shot and winning the
a f C North, you know, the even since then,
I think they're both playoff teams. I'm sure who's gonna
end up taking over. But as far as the NFC
South looks, it's awful. I mean, it's just an a
like if you go through the schedule for the Tampa
Bay Bucks and every other team in there. I mean,
(07:59):
I don't know what number they have to get to,
but is it eight nine? Does eight nine win that
division at this point? God? Um? Probably I don't think
you need. Yeah, you probably don't need double digit wins
to win that division. I meanin shoe it for the division. Yeah,
eight and nine I think might get it done. Though
if you look at the schedule it breaks down for
(08:20):
all the teams in particular though Tampa. I don't even
know if I should include the Saints so dy as well,
say Atlanta at this point, Yeah, I think the Saints
are finished. Um, Atlanta has been much better than I
thought they'd be. Like I thought there was a chance.
I thought there was a chance Arthur Smith would be
uh and and but they were projected to be the
worst team in the NFL. I think Atlanta was projected
(08:40):
to have the lowest win total in the league. If
I'm not mistaken, it was like four wins or something.
Like that. So they've already matched that sitting at four
and five. Um. Yeah, but I thought Arthur Smith might
be in jeopardy as far as this season and how
it was going. But if if Atlanta just adds a
quarterback or if they are in a position that's why
they were in the market for Deshaun Watson, if they
had a quarterback with those weapons on offense, like, Atlanta
(09:04):
is kind of an interesting team all of a sudden,
But it does feel like Tampa Bay is just going
to run away with that division because New Orleans, New
Orleans and Carolina are shelves of of what anybody thought
they were going to be coming into the season. It's
a shame. But didn't you didn't, LaVar have Baltimore to
go to the Super Bowl? Yes, yes, I have Baltimore
versus Green Bay. Well, and I have Baltimore winning. Okay, man,
(09:28):
you're still gonna shot what I mean? At least I
didn't say the Las Vegas Raiders shots fire shots Oh
no sound effect for that one. Yeah, yeah, about We're
gonna need assistance off the os California shots fire by LaVar.
Please please set help out to Sherman Oaks, Fox Worth
(09:51):
radio station shot. What was the what was the the
meme you said over the radar the guy got ye,
Terence Howard and hustle and flow. Come on man, hey man,
it's some oxygen Maine. Yeah, that's that's the Uh, that's
the Raiders. Well listen, supporters. Is just like I mean,
(10:15):
at this point, the Raiders is well talk they gotta
have the conference state against Michigan they got come on ago.
This is just too negative for me. That's just one
That's just one game, you know, I mean how many
times do we say that about the Las Vegas Raiders?
Huh yeah, twice? Yeah, you get to say it twice? Hurts.
(10:37):
Let mean, let me let me let me go ahead
and pull up the Raiders. Uh what they've done this season?
That's them against Michigan. That's well, that's them against Ohio State. Okay,
well you know what does that look like for What
does that look like for the Raiders though? Huh? You
know what I think this is? This goes back to
(10:58):
the immaculate reception Raiders, Steelers, can't guess, can't late, can't
get over it. I wish Berto did it through the
white guy voice. She does Bernos white guy boys. And
I also the fact that they just lost to the Jags.
I mean that's not like saying Michigan or Ohio State.
You you lost to the Jaguars, you know, by the way,
(11:22):
that was your last loss, you know, and if we
want to keep going, you know, there was a loss
before that, you know, to the Saints where y'all got
shut out. You know. Then there was the loss to well,
you know, the schedule this yeah, I mean, I mean,
you guys did get a win against the Texans, but
(11:44):
then there was the Chiefs, Brady the rain man, you know,
changes everything, saying the Titans changing, kind of wondering like
these shows, I might get wiped out by the storm,
whatever's coming in. We'll see. Really, Oh yeah, it's it's
like it's gonna be a direct hit game. Well listen
(12:04):
with it. With our technical prowess here, I think everything's
gonna be fine. You know. By the way, West, we
had the conversation, We had the audacity to have the
conversation before the football season got underway, talking about the
a f C West. There's going to be four teams
(12:26):
in the playoffs, right, it's possible. We had Brady trying
to figure out the mathematics of how all four we'll
get it. You know, we don't have to do that
math o. You know what that math That math came
in Andy because you could just applied to the FC
East that is true, that goes above. Maybe it wonts
make it from the a f C East. You know,
(12:47):
it's really far away from the the Chargers six and
three that they're the worst six and three team I've
ever seen in my life. It feels like they wouldn't
what do they want like four or five? If you
would have told me they were three and six, I said,
okaything I swear to like, I can't figure it out.
I think they won four or five games, but it
was so bad against Seattle that you just assumed they
(13:08):
were in the midst of like a five game losing streak.
And they got the Jaguars at home. Yeah, and they're
losing players left and right. They really have it out
for the West, Yeah they do. Yeah? Has can we
get Can we get a white guy? Boys? Please? Just
(13:28):
do A fed majority of our listeners, please come on
Berno fired up Martin Muldonado, Well listen, he's gonna win
a lot of games for us in the Future Guy's fantastic. Yeah, fellas,
I don't care if it's raining, I don't care. If
(13:51):
it's snowing, don't I don't care if it's nice and sunny.
Don't be disrespectful. Don't do it. Look at your watches
right now, It's time to stop treating your groins like
John introducing the Gillette Intimate Pubic Hair Trimmer, a gentle
and easy shade from America's number one trusted men's grooming brand.
(14:11):
Show your pubic regions respect with Gillette Intimate, the best
a man can get, because if you ain't respecting it,
your disrespect. Yeah, you've got problems, man, you got problems.
You're not lying. I'm just leave that alone. Get the right.
(14:32):
You don't have to worry about it. The right and
the first everything. Why is that? Uh? Why is that
the case for some people? For some people? You mean
every everybody. But you be sure to catch live editions
(14:56):
of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady, Quinn,
lavarre Ington and Jonas Knocks week days at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. All Right, So, the Indianapolis Colts have officially
become the clown show of the National Football League yesterday.
(15:18):
It was only a matter of time, you know. First
it was Matt Ryan getting benched. Then the next week
it was Marcus Brady, their offensive coordinator, getting fired even
though he doesn't call plays. And then the walls closed
in even more, this time on Frank Reich. He's now
out his head coach after they got pistol whipped by
the New England Patriots on Sunday. Absolutely brutal, and so
(15:40):
Jim mer say, but let's be clear here, though, man,
there there are no merits to oust him as an
owner just yet though. I mean no, of course not.
You know, everything's hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's
not derail the conversation into some another team, because this
is an absolute clown show. Alright, let's that could be
(16:00):
finible fence. But let's just talk about this group as
it currently stands. Um, this is an absolute dumpster fire.
I don't no marriage, but you know what, everything will
be fine. Uh. He just saw Jeff Saturday to a
segment on ESPN, so now he's gonna make him the
head coach. So so there's that Jeff Saturday. No high
(16:21):
school I think he's coaching in high school, but he's
got no college, no pro experience. But now he's going
to be the interim head coach for the remainder of
the season. So let's listen to Jim R say, who
put down the banjo decided to step away from the
tree he was leaning on and explain band show or
banjo ban joe? Yeah, there you go. There is that's
(16:43):
the guy picks apart every word and every time there's
no right. I didn't think there was a mistake. I
was just making sure I was because they were both
kind of funny to me, the band show or the
band cleaned up post production. I want to hear what
he had to say. Yeah, so that's I think we
should play to play the sound bites of the banjo.
All right, So Jim Ry has got his ban joe,
(17:05):
He's got his ban joe plugged in. He is ready
to fire away and make explanations as to why he
did what he did yesterday. When it came to the
head coach, we're the fourth winning his franchise in the
league since two thousand alright, that means in the upper
quartile of winners, were in the top quartile of that
upper quartile. You want to bet against this guy, put
your money down. People love to see it. I love
(17:29):
to see it. No, the game is not different. We
don't build rockets to go to Mars. We're not nuclear scientists.
That is none of our jobs here. It's a very
simple jobs that we do here. I don't know how
to make sausage. I don't know what goes into sausage,
but I do know how to build a football team
because I've been around for fifty two years. There is
(17:49):
no problem of perception, except some of you guys make
a problem of perception. But you did hits, so you
gotta do it. I understand. I do the same thing.
I was a broadcast journalism major too. I don't know
you guys ever held accountable to your editors, breaking lad
and saying well, you wrote that stuff. It was all wrong.
You're fired. But I'm not sending a fighter in the love.
(18:11):
You know when I think that that it's time and
let him get pummeled. No, you know, certain people just
have it. They have it and you see it when
when you know it. I've never hired a losing head coach.
(18:32):
We're the fourth winning his team in the league. It's
not about belief, it's about fact what we've done. We're
better than most all. It's that simple. Our record proves
it over a period of time, so that you don't
have to believe much when it's there in black and white.
I'm sold. Okay, well hold on, let me first off.
(18:53):
Let me first off ask you guys this, what do
you guys think Frank Reich's record was as head coach? There,
I would say he he had a winning record and
one and and actually every single time he had a
starting quarterback, regardless of the fact that he went through
(19:14):
a year after year after year. For example, Andrew Lux
last year they were ten and six. All right, you
go back to Philip Rivers. There are a playoff team,
they have leaden wins that year tend something like that.
Um even Carson wentz To went nine at eight and
and this year with Matt Ryan there are three three
and one when they pulled the plug on him, so
they were sitting there at at five. That would win
(19:36):
me the NFC South, right, But you know they've got
in trouble and it really just starts back before you know,
Frank Reig, this is more about Andrew Luck. No One
could have prepared for Andrew Luck basically just stepping aside
and saying I'm done. I think that sent this franchise
(19:56):
into a tail spin. After what they did to get
Andrew Luck, essentially tanking to get him and then him
deciding like I'm done, I don't I don't want to
do this anymore. It sent this franchise into a tailspin
that leads us to today. And that was quite the
press conference, But the truth of the matter is that's
(20:19):
how we got here. As crazy as Jim Rassay is
or sounds, he's not wrong. Like they've won a lot
of games. I mean, Frank Reich is one of the
better play calls, one of the better men you'll ever
meet in the NFL. Unfortunately this case, he has to
be the fall guy. And we could dive into the
minutia of how they came about to getting Jeff Saturday.
(20:41):
But this this franchise has been successful and especially when
they've had their starter, but unfortunately they've been searching for
that guy now and they didn't feel like Matt Ryan
was the guy. I never felt like Sam Ellinger was
the guy. I just think that was something Jimmers say
wanted to do. To essentially put him in a position
to tank. Like that's where I feel like they're at now.
I feel like all these moves are efforts to tank
(21:04):
so they can be in a position to take one
of these top quarterbacks in next year's draft, because there's
really no other explanation. When you have John Fox, who's
had been a head coach, been to a Super Bowl
in your staff, multiple super Bowls, and you've got Gus
Bradle who has also been a head coach on your staff,
doesn't make any sense to bring in someone who, outside
of maybe analyzing from the outside, has no idea what's
(21:27):
going on behind those walls. I'm glad you spoke to
the football side of it because I just want to
speak to the person's side of it. And just listening
to Jimmer say do his interview, I f and love them.
Y'all can hate them. People can hate him or think
that he's he's he's off his rocker or this and that,
(21:48):
and he may he may very well be. But I
love him, and I'm gonna tell you why I love
him because he's relatable. I I tend to think it's
it's funny, right, we have so many grapes and so
many concerns and complaints about guys, and people are complain
about him hiring Jeff Saturday. It'll it'll be turned into
(22:09):
a racial thing, It'll be turned into other things. It
will be turned into a whole lot of different things.
But the one thing that I like about Jim Hurry
says he's unapologetically who he is, and he sounds like
somebody that you know growing up. And that's the bottom line.
I can smell the cigarettes, I can see what what
the the surrounding area looks like. It could be a
(22:31):
mechanics uh mechanics office, and him telling you about how
he has to fix the piston and and how you
have to make some alterations to the exhaust system. Cigarette
burns in the newspaper. Come on, bro, he's got it.
He's got the tag on his shirt, you know, Jim
on his shirt, and and you're listening to him. We've
(22:54):
all come across the guy I talked, just like Jim Rcy.
I can't say that about every o or that's that's
an owner in the the National Football League. And for
right or for wrong, the dude lives in and what
he believes is the right thing for him to do.
He may not always present it in a in a
(23:16):
politically correct or acceptable way in which we have created,
um maybe the idea of what an owner is supposed
to look like or what he's supposed to sound like.
But nonetheless he has he has done a fine job
of of being an owner of the Colts. I mean,
(23:39):
you can look at again, you throughout some of the statistics.
You can look at what this team has done versus
some of these other teams out here, and you can
have the debate about what you feel about them as
as a winning organization, as a successful organization. But the
one thing that I take away from this and and
(23:59):
and I'm taking a little bit of a different angle,
in a different approach to this whole Jeff Saturday deal.
Sure it's a dumpster fire. Sure it's a mess, and
and and and maybe it's because Andrew Luck left it
that way. Maybe it's because of other reasons. I don't know,
but he gave Jeff Saturday a an opportunity for a reason.
(24:20):
I believe, and and and this is what we're taught
as players. I believe the brotherhood of playing the game
supersedes anything else racial, social, economic, It exceeds that So
the fact that a former player has gotten an opportunity
to step in and an inner room basis doesn't mean
he's getting it permanently. It means he's given an opportunity
(24:43):
to coach this team and lead this team and in
a moment right now where they feel like Reich wasn't
the guy to do it. Now, how that ends and
how that plays out, who knows, But I will say this,
it's probably because of the relationship between between Jill Rcy
and Jeff Saturday that Jeff Saturday is getting this opportunity.
(25:03):
And and to be honest with you, I hope he succeeds.
I hope, I hope he has a successful rest of
the way. I hope those those guys rally around it
and find a way to have success. Because to me,
to see a player have the opportunity to do it,
you know, all, he doesn't have any any type of experience, well,
neither did Dion. Dion wasn't a hate coach. Dion was
(25:26):
in this an assistant offensive coordinator. And he's having great success. Okay,
but that's at also a level that I feel like
it's a it's a little different, and he was you know,
coaching before that at a level right before he stepped
up to that, Like that's the next level. If you're
going to step up from coaching from high school to
college once you say like this is a pretty big jump,
(25:48):
I mean it's not. It's not a jump at all,
because he's I don't know that he's even has he
ever coached. I don't even know he's coached at high school.
He was currently coaching at high school. The problem with this,
to me is like the timing of all of it too.
It would be one thing if you want to interview
him after the season, if you felt that strongly about him,
(26:08):
you want to say, like Josh mccount with the Houston
Texans last year. If it's after the season you've got
a coaching search, that's fine, right, But in the middle
of the season, when you've got I mean again, John Fox,
he's been to two Super Bowls. You've got Gus Bradley's coached,
Bubba van Trone who's a budding star. You have other
(26:29):
coaches on this staff. Ron Miless has been the league
for thirty two years coaching. Like I could go on
down the line of the more experienced guys, Hell Kevin
Malay had a great career. He's on the staff, and
he's he's been coaching in the NFL for six years.
You have plenty of candidates you could have chosen, and
it would have made sense to at least get them
(26:50):
some rep sing experience, or at least make it not
a more smooth transition, Like I just I think you're
you know, you're saying, no, I'm not gonna put my
my fighter out there to let him just go get pummeled.
It feels a little bit like that. And look, bottom
line is maybe jim Ercay you know, talked about what
do you want to do moving forward and none of
(27:10):
those guys want to sign up for it. There Like
if I'm John Fox and any aspirations of being a
head coach can maybe he's thinking, well, I don't want to,
you know, lose every game the rest of the season.
If that, if that's ultimately what Jimmer says trying to do,
or Gus Bradley for that matter, or even Bubba been
Tron is like, I'm not gonna have any shot of
becoming a head coach if I'm the interim head coach
for a team that loses every game. From here, on out.
(27:32):
I mean, let's be real, they had a fighting chance
with Matt Ryan. Now with Sam Elinger, it just seems
like everything is up against him. And say what you
want about the play calling, but who the hell is
gonna call plays now? I would love to know the
answer to that question as to why Jeff Saturday. I
think that that's the question that will be. I think
(27:54):
I think I've got an answer for you. This is
how I think this could have played out, because I
think Jeff Saturday was there recently for one of the games,
like he was seen there, like actually in Indianapolis for
one of the games. I could have easily seen a
scenario where, you know, Jim Verse says, having himself a
few cocktails, having himself a good time, had a few
(28:14):
before that, end of you It sounded like it, and
and maybe maybe at one point, you know, he happens
to mention something to Jeff. You know, Jeff, if you
here would not you might maybe I need to bring
you in here to come coach the team, get us
through the rest of this thing. And Jeff, They're like, yeah,
that'd be fun, that'd be pretty cool. Yeah, oh yeah,
(28:34):
of course, Jim, And then all of a sudden They
end up decided to fire Frank Reich, and Jeff calls
him up today, Jif remember what you told me the
other day? Uh no, Jeff, I don't. Oh I well
you told me basically I could be the interim head coach.
The oh that's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, why don't
you want to come and be the interim head coach
for our team? Get us through the storm? He gets
(28:55):
through the rest of the season. See, I think he's
way more calculated than that. Oh really do? I think
is way more calculated. The really quick, really quick, let's
just go back through the history or something maybe bumped
into Hold on for a second, show us, if you
could join us, take us through the last time we
saw Jim Mercy when he was caught um for what
(29:17):
do you have in the practice? Call it? Well, there
was a tell me how calculated this sounds. Well, there's
a trash bag and there was a bunch of pharmaceuticals,
and I believe there was a bunch of cash, like
about twenty dollars. And I'm not mistaken, if memory serves
me correct, it was there there was a lot of
money in this trash bag, and so like again that
(29:38):
goes to Lavars. That's yeah, many people get relatable. It's
not calculated. I mean, I mean there's levels of calculation.
He was calculated that You never heard those fall guy,
You never heard of those Louis Batan glad bags. I
mean they're everywhere. I mean he can get him at
Nordstrom's and he just had them old with you know,
(30:01):
some some pills and a bunch of cash. I mean,
sounds joculate your honor. I don't know how that's got here,
but yeah, that's lapses and judgment in our lifetime. By
the way, I'd love to I'd love to calculate it.
Then what you guys are giving them credit? I love
to know who turned the job down? Was it Mike Vanderjack?
Did he call Pat McAfee maybe and say, hey, what
do you think? God? Do you know what? The worst
(30:22):
thing I read was that there was discaches. It might
be Danilovsky. Oh that's right, because Dan invented football, because
ESPN puts them on everything. And I was like, oh
my god, really, what's gonna teach me to run out
of the back of the end zone? Just say yeah, oh,
this is hate going on right now. This is this hate.
It was just like of a sudden, this net. It's
(30:43):
this wide casted debt. We're like everyone's now potential candidate
and you're going, okay, like really, are we really entertaining
some of the stuff right now? My goodness, it is too.
I would love to home to Super Jeff Jef hang
out with them. Well, I can guarantee you Jim Mercy
(31:04):
is awake right now, and Jim I'm the one his
kissing his ass so that maybe he'll give me a job. Hey,
I figured that. No, that's not what Mr Mr say
leaning against the tree. But Jeff just called. Hey, I'll
talk to you guys next year. Be sure to catch
(31:24):
live editions of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
with Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington and Jonas Knocks week days
at six am easting three am Pacific. Hey, it's me
Rob Parker. Check out my weekly MLB podcast, Inside the
Parker for twenty two minutes of piping hot baseball talk,
featuring the biggest name to newsmakers in the sport. Whether
(31:47):
you believe in analytics or the Eyecast, We've got all
the bases cover. New episodes drop every Thursday, so do
yourself a favor and listen to Inside the Parker with
Rob Parker on the I Heart Radio app or wherever
you get your podcast. So, uh, this was a really
really fun weekend in the world of college football. We
(32:09):
had a lot of moving, a lot of shaking out there.
Now Brady Quinn is really really happy about ruining the
season for the Clemson Tigers. I mean they came, yeah,
I mean they just uh, that'll go ahead and do
it for Clemson, not the toughest schedule. Then they go
and play Notre Dame and get smoked. That game wasn't
really all that close, and now Clemson is gonna drop
(32:31):
all the way down? Does feel like? It does feel
like if you look at the a CEC standings right now,
North Carolina, who was ranked seventeenth and the most recent ranking,
they have a clear path of the championship game and
Clemson still has one for the a c C on
their side. But if if you're the playoff committee, and
(32:51):
I'm not lobbying, by the way for Notre Dame to
get in by any means, but how could you put
either one of those teams in, regardless of who wins,
with one loss when they both got absolutely molly waffed
by Notre Dame. Like it just it doesn't seem like
either could make it in and so I do feel
like that was almost an elimination game. Now for the
a c C with the way they they've lost to
(33:13):
Notre Dame, both North Carolina, Miami, I guess Syracuse for
that matter too. They beat the crap out of Syracuse
and Alabama losing Brian Kelly and and L s U.
That's why you come to l Yeah, that's it's a
good point. They go for two. They get it all right,
So Brian Kelly got his ball's broken for his fake
accent and the way he left Notre Dame. Yeah. Next
(33:36):
message for those of you wondering whether or not LaVar
only does Mike McDaniel impressions no no, no no when
we play walkie talkies on the text chain, he does
a phenomenal Brian Kelly and Brushia. Yeah, it's really good.
L s U is probably going to venture into the
one top six or seven in the new college football
playoff rankings have come out. A lot of people think
(33:57):
they'll be sitting at seven potentially, um, you know, who knows,
maybe even higher. It is the sec S. That would
probably piss a lot of people off. But that was
fun that game against two bad losses. That that's the
one thing you're looking at, and that that would be
a jump from what ten I believe is what they were. Yes,
I believe. So yeah, so uh seven seven probably is
the minimum, but I'd say seven or six where they
(34:18):
end up making it. So what do we think the
college football the new College Football Playoff rankings are gonna
look like when they get released later on tonight. George's one, Yeah,
Georgie would have to be won with the win over Tennessee.
Ohio State stays at two, and then you think that
Michigan have five bumps up to three. And look, I'm
an advocate for TCU. I think, regardless of what people
(34:40):
think about the Big twelve, a lot of parody in
that conference. The team's nine and oh and they went
through a stretch or they beat four teams ranked in
the top four straight weeks. No one else is going
to have that to their credit be able to say that. Now.
I know some of those teams aren't ranked now, but
you know that doesn't matter going in the matchup. When
(35:00):
you have two ranked teams taken on one another. It's
a big deal, you know, a big new kickoff goes,
you know, college game day goes. You know what happens
after the fact. Obviously, the team that loses gonna end
up having a harder time recovering from that. But I
tend to give them a lot of credit for the
way they've played this year and the stretch they went through.
So I think that will be the fourth team, and
(35:22):
looked like you could have L s U and USC
right up there in the mix along with Tennessee. Like,
I don't know how far Tennessee will drop, but it'll
be interesting to see where they end up placing them.
I think therefore, I think it's Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan,
then Tennessee, I find it. I don't know that the
playoff committee is gonna drop that second SEC team all
(35:43):
the way out of the top four. Um. I just
think Tennessee is gonna be sitting there and then in
TCU is probably five, and then Oregon six. But I
wonder there's no possible way. I'm just trying to do
the math here. If L s U get to the
SEC championship game and wins That's what's gonna be interesting,
(36:04):
is if you have your first two lost conference champ
that makes it end because how do you take I
mean they were it's basically an automatic, right, whoever wins
the SEC championship and when's that game goes to the
culture the playoff, That's what the thought is. But this
would test that theory for sure, because then now that
goes back to when I did have a team that
was good enough to make it to the playoff and
(36:25):
they didn't make it to the playoff, but two losses, right,
but a team made it into the playoff that loss
didn't even win the Big Ten championship, right, didn't even
win their division? Right, it's what happened to them verse
Clemson that year. Uh, they didn't they get spanked? They did? Yeah? Yeah, Um,
(36:46):
we would have got spanked too, But I would have
liked to rather saw us get spanked as the Big
Ten champs and the representative than Ohio State that didn't
even win the Big Ten. Yeah, what do you so?
You were kind of mentioning that when we were talking
on Saturday after because it was crazy, I mean, all
those games that were going down to the wire and
you're just seeing all these teams in the top five
(37:08):
lose and then you know they're going to drop all
the way down. Is college football better than the NFL?
I love here. Well, I was just gonna say, I
think college football's regular season to me, is more entertaining
than the NFL. And it's impartant because you have less games.
There's a lot more of of I guess, unpredictable things
(37:29):
that happen, and just craziness. So I tend to think
that college football regular season is better than NFL regular season. However,
there's nothing like NFL playoffs, the Super Bowl all that,
like conference you know, the the a f C, NFC
conference championships like that. That's huge in and of itself.
So um And like some people would say, college football
(37:50):
has always been about the regular season. You know, you
go back before the playoff, right like we basically would
we would basically play a regular season. There wasn't even
conference championship games, and then you go play a bowl
game and then they the A p would vote on
who they think the best team is. So it's kind
of always been about the regular season. I do think
it's it's it's more fun in my opinion, I love it.
(38:10):
I love it so much, and not because I had
a better college career than I did a pro career.
I just think in terms of the entertainment value of
a Saturday versus a Sunday, there's way more excitement, even
like even amongst like like I said, I have a
whole bunch of kids that that live with me, um
(38:31):
and and you know, on Saturdays, all the all the
young fellas are eating cereal or you know, food is
being made, you know, pancakes or waffles and stuff like that,
and it's like the best thing since living on the
on on the West Coast is how much earlier the
games start, Like you don't have to wait too long,
(38:55):
Like even now being on the radio, the games are
starting and have started before I'm even off off air,
Like you gotta do an entire show with games in
full go, which is that would be difficult for me.
I'm not gonna lie, Like I love watching college football.
Sunday football, like regular season NFL football is like reading
(39:18):
a Bible for me. I I can make it through
three or four pages and then I fall asleep, and
then I gotta I gotta rewind, I gotta go back.
But it puts me to sleep, and and so then
I gotta go and make sure that I got the context,
make sure that I got whatever it is that But
(39:39):
when you get to the playoffs of the NFL, that
energy level is is is fire. It's fire, and then
Super Bowl is is you know, I put Super Bowl
second to a regular n C A a Saturday. You
know what I think college football has done. And I
give credit to Fox a little bit TESPN, but I
(39:59):
really know assists of the past couple of years, they've
really played up into the atmosphere of the game. So
like when when yeah, so like when Big newon kickoff
is like you spend part of the time, like you know,
the first hour or whatever, and you're outside the stadium
and then you go into the stadium and it's awesome.
Just the whole presentation, whether it was at Penn State,
(40:20):
you're at state College, and that whole setup. Last year,
I thought they did a tremendous job as far as
presenting all the traditions that jump around, all that stuff,
the snow in Ohio State, Michigan, just the whole the
whole scene was done so well that I think that's
what separates college football from the NFL. The NFL is
just like, hey, we'll go live to a stadium shot
(40:40):
and there's some people. There's Justin Tucker kicking eight yards pregame.
You go to a college football pre game, all the pageantry,
all that stuff, dotting the eye at all the capture,
you capture the essence so much, it's so awesome. Yeah,
And there's a few proteins that are like that actually
during the regular ease, and they're they're very supportive that way.
(41:02):
But for what it's worth, in college, it just feels different,
like the pageantry and the history of it or or
the traditions of it, because there's some certain things you
do at that time frame right where you've got college
students who are doing it right, the band, etcetera, and
the tail getting in, the partying, and you're like it's
just accepted. Like you're looking at you and go, yeah,
(41:23):
that makes sense. Then it's like if you have like
a band for a pro team, you're like, all right,
this is a little cheesy, a little bit it's cheesy.
Then you're watching some of that. The cheerleaders have never
been considered to be cheesy though. I take I take NFL,
I take pro chair leaders over college chair leaders. Well
then again, never mind, No, I take that back. I
take that back. You're fast tracking into a little Danny
(41:45):
Snyder Terrior microphone. I wasn't even talking about that. That
started thinking. I started thinking about Oregon and USC chair leaders.
I take that back. So, but the point is, like
in college, it's like it's all kind of accepted. It
feels like, all right, from high school you kind of
had those elements. It goes to college. Then when you
get to the pros, you're going, all right, there pros Now,
(42:06):
like no one really comes around for the Like there's
no band parents in the stands watching their kids right
or like during the halftime. It's just the whole thing
is an incredibly different, Like it's they're paid athletes. You're
there to watch them play. That's that's pretty much the
end of it. Even like the cheerleaders, I played for
teams that didn't have cheerleaders. I went to teams that
had childers. I never really noticed them in the NFL
(42:27):
because it's like not one of those things you see
or like really notice at that point. So I I
just I feel like there's a little difference to like
when they talk about the patch streaming me when I mean,
you just get to that pro level and you go,
uh the AC Yeah that AC nor Like that's I
get it. Because what the Browns the only the only
(42:49):
the Ravens have cheerleaders. No, no, they do, they do that.
They had them, they've had them. Yeah, Bengals have cheerleader dealers,
Baltimore does, but Pittsburgh, Cleveland don't. Yeah. Interesting, so interesting. Yeah,
I don't know. He noticed the cheerleaders. Cities cheerleaders. That
(43:14):
was a good city, good time everything. Yeah, for sure.
I think the Dolphins, the Dolphins of cheerleaders do they
have a lot of serious like that. That team has
more cheerleaders than anyone in the NFL. They were to
tell you something, as they should, but nonetheless, Pross like
(43:44):
certain things level you look at your skill all right, now,
that's kind of weird, like you're too old to be
doing that. You know, you are too old to be
playing instruments. Like Bill's Mafia gets a pass for jumping
through tables before it happens on like every college campus
and everyone's like, yeah, that's kind college whatever that Yeah
I jumped through a table, but it's like only Bill's
Mafia can do the Otherwise, people are like, dude, it's
(44:06):
a Sunday, You've worked tomorrow, like being an adult. And
then there's there's squirting mustard and catch up on each other,
which is just weird. Put it. I'll put it this way.
Roberto is a classic example of an NFL fan. His
team is not playing well, he stopped drinking. You know
what happens in college when your team is not playing drink,
you leave to go drink. It's the exact opposite, exactly.
(44:29):
It's still your team is doing well in their winning
you leave to drink more more like, no matter what
you're drinking, Yeah, no matter what that is. That is correct.
I got faded. I got so faded at that o'hose
State game. We need to catch on that. When you
missed Monday, I was traveling, right, I was traveling. I
(44:53):
requested off ahead of time. I mean, hell, I got
tucked to the call. You got a halt. Just spilled
my I told you guys, I spilled my long. I
was double fisting my long islands I got. I didn't
make it to two ten, but I didn't need to.
You know, I told you I saw champs. I saw
(45:14):
the champs always. Did you see the line outside? That's
why I was like, yeah, we're not. We're not all
the way down the block. You're not waiting in that line,
are you know? Come on? No, I don't want hey,
but I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. Um
shouts out to my people at pay Somatic. They threw
a tailgate party for me. That was fire and I
(45:39):
had We had professional bartenders there. We had my man,
uh DJ Richter there, you know he was he was
on the ones and two. Do you guys are drinking
that Matt mcgleen beer, the the leven beer? Yeah, yeah,
we didn't do that. We didn't have that sticks beer,
sticks beer. If he called the sticks beer, that would
that would be the straw that broke the camel's back
and he called it sticks Are that? I spoke to
(46:02):
Abdul yesterday, by the way, you know, let him know
I was proud of him and he's definitely earned the
right to be spoken about in those terms. Yeah he's been.
He's been good man for a freshman. But anyway, Uh yeah,
I danced my my long island pants drenched pants dry.
(46:25):
I danced him dry and was sore the next day,
like I played a game. I was sore from dancing.
I saw some of the videos. I did not realize
I could still move that way. How about it? Can
I see some of them sting to break. Let's take
a break. We take a break. I'm gonna show you
somebody get moved. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports
