bit of an earthquake here earlier this morning, by the way,

(01:27):
really about that? Yeah, you're not there right now, you know,
I'm in Richmond. Yeah, that's right. That's speaking of earthquake.
And and Kylie, can I ask you guys a question? No?
But you know we always say that to each other.
We do Why do we do that? Still? Sort of?

(01:49):
I say no? Then what happens? Right? Then? We just
keep going. I don't I don't want to ask you
guys the question. If you don't want to answer, can
I ask you question? I want to you're the question.
I don't know that I want to answer it. Okay,
that's fair, that's fair. You know, Shannon Sharp issued uh
an apology, and we were wondering if he was going
to issue an apology, issued apology, very heartfelt apology. Have

(02:13):
you guys listened to it? I listened to it multiple times.
You do realize there was something that was visibly or
audibly missing from the apology. Did you guys catch it?
I'm sorry, no, did you catch a jonas? What do
you think it was? Uh? Skip Bayless not talking for
that long? Well, that's a good one. You said the

(02:34):
right name. Do you realize that he didn't apologize directly
to Skip Bayless? Why would apology as a Skip? Well,
he's he was apologizing to everyone, apologize to so many
people by name, I felt like, I mean, it's Skips
show and and and Skip basically chose him to be

(02:55):
his co host. So when he was apologizing to everyone
that maybe he might have put a bad space, he
made it a point to apologize everyone at FS one
and Fox. I was just curious. It's like, maybe it's nothing,
but maybe it's something. You know, he apologized to everyone
by name, but he didn't apologize to his like, you know,

(03:18):
to Skip it. Probably that was interesting. It's probably because
Skip Bayliss never really apologized to him over the tweet
he sent, which everybody blew way out of proportion and
all that. There was that, but I mean, it was
kind of odd when Skip then with or when Shannon
came back and tried speaking, and then Skip basically cut
him off like he was on Highway one on one

(03:41):
of the four like that. There was the Tom Brady
discussion too, told him put his mother glasses back on
his face. But I just thought it was interesting, man, Like,
so I don't know, you know, there's this whole thing this.
I was talking to some of my boys and we

(04:02):
were kind of discussing the whole idea of it. Do
you think first of all, everybody's calling it like a
publicity stunt, Like I kind of felt like it was real.
Like I think that all things given, Shannon Sharp would
have really like threw down. If somebody to put their
hands out there, Shannon Sharp would have met them hands.
That's That's what I feel like, what's going to happen.

(04:23):
But it just made me start thinking like, yeah, Shannon
Sharp is like a smart dude, super smart dude. Do
you like you think he ends up working with Lebron
James on like a different you know platform? Sure one.
I mean that you have the abilities to right, just
like the fracture has taken place and now it's kind

(04:45):
of like I'm doubling down, Like he apologized to Lebron, Like, well,
you're apologizing a little bit. I mean, I would think
that an apology would be more relevant to skip because
you guys do a show together, versus apologizing to Lebron.
I mean, I know you were talking crap about you know,
Lebron is too big for you, But I mean Lebron

(05:05):
didn't directly need an apology. You could have just apologized
to the Lakers. You apologize to the bus family. You
know you think so. No, I was just thinking out loud.
I don't want to turn into a big thing. I
just I was just curious, like, it just seems like,
you know, Lebron, doesn't he have like a production company
and stuff like that. Doesn't he have a house? Are
you trying to break something right now? Are we just
talking about this outline? It feels like you know something

(05:27):
you no, No, no, I'm just talking about what are
you doing here? Man? Tell us? I'm just talking out loud.
Why have I the only one who's that like not
in the note right now? And you're like, you know something?
That's why you are you saying Shannon Sharp is going
to be up on Game Network? Is No, he's not.
I wouldn't be shocked if if we signed a name

(05:49):
as big as Shannon Sharp at some point. But no,
That's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying.
I was just curious because Lebron is I mean, he
has a really successful production media company. Right, what's it calls?
What's it's so successful? We don't know the day's Yeah,

(06:09):
you're stupid. We're so stupid for that. For that, I
love you, dude. You're the best, the best. You could
discover a lot of things in twenty three And me, boy,
what what's his what's his his Rachel background? Uh? That

(06:31):
Shannon Sharp? What which? What? What is that? Burto black? No? Oh?
That well, there you go. That would be the reason
why they would work to go. So you figured that out.
By the way, how about in that whole skirmish that
took place with Shannon Sharp in the Memphis Grizzlies and
all that chaos and ridiculousness that happened the other night.

(06:52):
How about the fact that Shannon Sharp gave me hope
because I thought I was the only one that still
wore Cardigans. Nope, Shannon Sharp Rockingahey, definitely they have a
card again. Good for him. I gotta keep that, you
gotta keep that alive. Here. I felt like I was
on an Island with all that, and he had card
agean pants on two. Yeah, I think that's where it

(07:14):
ends for me. It was a full outfit top the bottom. Yeah,
I think that's uh, that's super stylished though though hey,
I said in his super stylished his shoes was probably
super fired too, probably had some limited shoes. He's like
the shoe guy, you know, he's a he's a sneaker head. Yeah.
Still anyway, all right, yeah, he said he woke up listen.

(07:36):
So for anybody out there that felt the earthquake at
four point two, the Coast of Mouth earthquake, hopefully no
homes sell off the mountain because you know, Malibu's got
a lot of it was in the water something. Yeah,
it did y'all feel it out there? Yeah, Barny though,
I didn't feel like a four point earthquake smaller than that,

(07:59):
but it's because the epicenter was the water. I didn't
feel anything has already risk of tsunamis or anything like
that out here. There's some fishing in that water that
felt that though, you know, yeah, they're traumatized by they
thought they thought a whale farted, but then they realized
that damned to lap with the margarity again, that's gotta

(08:19):
be That's gotta be one thing to imagine. Nobody's ever
talked about a whale farting, like, that's the first time
I've ever heard that. That would be pretty interesting. Way
if it would be interesting if if that's what it
actually was and it wasn't like an actual earthquake. But
I'm pretty sure scientifically we could prove otherwise. I will
say this based on the location of the earthquake, Malibu,

(08:39):
um not far from Venice, So there are probably a
lot of you know, cardboard boxes intense that were shaken afterwards,
just saying, man, try try, try getting the nap. You know,
is that an earthquake? I don't think I will live here?
And I mean, now, do they have insurance for those?
I mean, like, if an earthquake knocks down that thing,
do they have insurance for Excuse me? What are you

(09:00):
doing in my spot? What do you mean? Mine? Says
Amazon on the top? No, mine, says Amazon on the top.
Look at look at the address on my Amazon box.
I got you trumped, it, stamps my stamp on his
Amazon boxes that this is my place of residence. A
lot of a lot of sleeping bags shaking in the

(09:22):
middle of the night like that, that's cold blooded. That
something else, but that is that is true friction and
anything you could do. By the way, speaking of friction,
I don't want to cause a problem between you guys
here alright, Like this is the last thing I want
to do. I'm not into this. But I did find it,

(09:43):
you know, like we you know, clearly have a divide
because you know, Brady offensive guy, LaVar defensive guy, clearly divide.
I just you know, I thought it was a little
interesting that, you know, Brady was pointing this out that
all the coaches that still remain a lie whose teams
were still good enough to get to this point in
like yeah, yeah, like they've they've got you know, something

(10:08):
in common. You know what's that? What's what are they
got in common there? Brady, all those they all offensive
minded guys. I feel like that's a that's a win
for Dublin, Ohio and Brady Quinn on this show. And
I thought you would want to talk about how Michael
Parsons and other people were talking about what was going
on with that list that day. But okay, I could
go with this at this angle to just say it

(10:29):
like Uh, it does feel like there's that's that's a
big win for for the for offensive football in the NFL.
Defensive coaches around. You know what's interesting about that though,
Like Philadelphia okay? Uh? San Francisco? What was the score
at San Francisco? Gay? Okay? So that that clearly was

(10:54):
because the offense did exactly what they needed to do, right,
I mean, listen, just saying nineteen points offensive minded? I
love it. Go ahead now, I ain't gonna hate on
couch Shanahan, honest. I mean, you do realize they average
like usually thirty some points a game, Like you're you're
taking one game out of it when I think they're
one of the top scoring teams in the late Well,

(11:15):
I'm just saying they didn't break twenty and in the
last game. I mean, the one thing that they have
in common is that they're still a lab in the playoffs.
So I'm just going off for the last playoff game.
That's all, you know. Well, right, but it's an offensive
line of coach, So I think you'd admit like they
was defensive minded that day. Uh maybe, I mean they
kicked a lot of field goals. Obviously, the offensive is
moving the football you know, they're not always gonna you know, score,

(11:36):
but I got it. Yeah, I'm just saying. I mean
I think the generals, the general point is, well, yeah,
we can look at the other games. I mean, I
don't even really beat the life out of the Giants.
I don't even remember the scores of the other games. Honestly. Well,
what any Kansas City do? How many the points they score? Yeah?
I think they scored obviously enough, right, I mean, just

(11:59):
of course not I'm looking at so Kansas City's an
offensive coach. Cincinnati how many points? How many points Cincinnati score?
I mean, are you really trying to base this off
of one game and not that all of those teams
that are still in there are the top scoring teams
in the NFL? Well, I mean the playoffs are one

(12:21):
game season. That's all I'm doing. I'm just looking at
it from the standpoint of one game season. I don't
want to do this. I knew this is going to
cause a problem you right now, here's the gist of it.
Right now, if you're defensive fined head coach, you're not
getting head coaching jobs unless you're Dan Quinn, which he's
getting interviews. But that's just the reality of the Limko yeah,

(12:42):
and Demiko hogut some overo and Denver is getting some
But if you're a and then by the way, this
isn't like just my opinion. It was actually some caln
coounter was talking about yesterday, and I think I brought
this something the notes before, but Jonas was hesitant to
bring up this topic because he knew he knew upset
about this. The league, different offensive coordinator, my assistant, Hey, coach,

(13:07):
but you know, since y'all want to do this, I'm
changing my mind who you can hire liner. Yeah, maybe
the league. The league's at a different point though, if
you think about it, when the league was highlighting more
running and running backs became more of an integral part
of of of offenses as opposed to now where teams
are throwing on average sixt of the time, It's changed

(13:28):
like the importance of being able to, you know, understand
the quarterback position, coach developed the quarterback position, score points,
make adjustments, all those things. Like all that has played
such an impact even on the hiring process of coaches
in the NFL, to where now you look at the
four final you know, right now you've got four offensive

(13:51):
minded head coaches. You can go throughout the playoffs and
see there was more offensive minded head coaches than defensive
minded head coaches. And if you look at even the
coaching sir, which is like the vast majority of hires,
like a guy like Brian Dable who takes his team
to playoff in the first year, or Kevin O'Connell it
takes his teams to the playoff in the first year.
Their offensive mine head coaches. Now there's there's other guys

(14:13):
who obviously struggled, right, I mean, you could point out
Nathaniel Hackett, but you're getting looking at an offensive mine
head coach and replacing them with Sean Payton. Because their
biggest issue with Denver this year wasn't off air, it
wasn't defense, was offense. So they need to figure out
how to fix that. It's just that's the evolution of
the game. As we've implemented rules, whether it's a legal contact,

(14:34):
pass interference, defense, holding and made those emphasis and the
protection of the quarterback position in the pocket, out of
the pocket, defenseless players, everything else, it's become such a
passing game that it really has tilted the field in
way of the offensive minds and being it gets the
point where, like you can talk about, however many points

(14:54):
of score, the reality is if you don't score enough points,
it's not gonna you're not gonna keep your job. And
and you've got to figure out ways of scoring points
and of getting the most out of your quarterback. Otherwise
it's viewed as you're not doing a good job. Look
at Robert Sala, Robert Sala case in point. You know,
they went seven games this year. I believe that was
an improvement upon last year, and they look improved, especially defensively.

(15:18):
But what's the narrative around that team? They fell apart
because the quarterback position. So whether it's right, wrong, or indifferent,
And I don't even think it has anything to do
with like the coach is doing a good job one
way or another. I think it has more to do
with the importance of passing and quarterback play and the
league in the way they've pushed all of this, whether

(15:40):
that's to highlight you know, higher scoring games and gambling
or fantasy and all this other stuff that impacts the league.
It's it's gotten to this point for that reason, and
I think now it's tilted the field to the advantage
of offensive minda head coaches in interviews and taking over teams,
because if you're an owner and you're looking around, you're going, well,

(16:00):
I'm looking at all these other you know, younger offensive
mina head coach or even some of the older guys
like and Andy Reid who are having sustained success. But
you know, look at Zach Taylor, looking Nick Sirianni, look
at Um. You know, Kyle Shanny had young offensive mina
head coach, is having this success. I gotta find that
next guy. I gotta find the next Sean McVeigh. And
that's what they thought when they hired Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota,

(16:23):
and look how their offense performs justin Jefferson, you know,
sets the league on fire and they get to the playoffs.
So it's just that that's where we're at, you know,
and people can disagree with it, may not may not
like it, but it's really interesting to see how the
league is kind of transformed and changed in that regard. No,
I don't I'm not going to fight you on this.

(16:43):
I'm still not going to make you my assistant. Hey, coach, now,
come on, I'm going to get a defense. We're gonna
we're gonna take this like like now, all of a sudden,
you're not qualified for the job. But he's not qualified.
I said, he's an offensive he's offensive heavy. You know
I'm going defense. Yeah, it's just defense. Just break. I'm

(17:04):
so hurt. I am so upset with with with Brady
Quinn right now that I just need a break. I
need to get up, I need to walk away from
I need to say my full name. Could you just
said my first name? Because you know you're you're you're
you're the baby bro, you know what I mean? So
I have to say your full name because I'm big bro.
And so I noticed this though, I was I was

(17:26):
walking with one of our when I was in the
National Championship game. I was walking with one of our
executives from Fox, and he was like, no. It got
kind of like a running joke when people would say
my name, they say Brady Quinn, and I'm like, yep,
hi you doing or you know, hey, nice to meet you.
All right, Hey, two pros and a couple. Joe loved
that show Tell Leavar and Joes. I said hi, but
they'd always say Brady Quinn. They would just say my

(17:48):
first name and I was always like, and he looks
at me because everyone always say your full name. I said, yeah,
I don't know why though, No, no, no, no, no,
it's not that usually like people like if people call LaVar,
they probably say hey, LaVar Jonas Errington. But but yeah,
you gotta say but. But it's because my name is
so short. It's like two syllables. That's correct. I was

(18:11):
just about to break it down. That is one. But
it's like a superhero name like Superman, Superman, spider Man,
Brady Quinn, you know what I mean. It's not like
love bar and Rington. You know what I mean, Like
it's it's too long. But you know, bird toe, they
usually douche bag. They call you Joe Nads. That's say

(18:36):
your whole name like that. I thought they usually hit
you in the ball bag. Oh my gosh, what they
just come up with, Jonas. That's that's really funny. I'll
take what I can get at this point. It's too
pros and right now, Happy Valentine today, everybody. Alright, that's

(19:01):
the sort. That's what we got here. You are all right?
So coming up next, we are going to get into
a discussion here on the show about why one thing
in the world of sports that you happen to love

(19:22):
is off and running and there's no stopping it yet.
We'll get into that for you. It's next here, Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio. Be
sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Arrington and Jonas
Knocks week days at six am Easter three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio. Two

(19:44):
Pros and a Cup of Joe Here on Fox Sports
Radio fifteen minutes from now. It is our Midweek Awards.
The good, the Bad, and the Ugly. They're yours here
on fs R. So guess what I got right here? Huh?
What's you got? If you're out there listening to this
show and you were watching the conference the divisional round

(20:04):
matchups this past weekend as we get set for conference
championship weekends, and you were watching the Niners and the Cowboys,
you were not alone. Almost forty six million average viewers
on Fox this past weekend. The numbers are in. It
peaked at over fifty one million, the most watched of
the season and the second and most watched divisional game

(20:28):
in NFL history. So for anybody that was worried about
whether or not the NFL could recover following post COVID
and all the other controversies that has gone on, don't
worry about it. Everything's fine in the NFL. They are
often running yet again, massive, massive weekend for the NFL.
And by the way, that game wasn't even that good,
and that's the number that they drew. As we get
set for the conference championships. It's it's crazy to think

(20:52):
too when you look at the fact, and I think
we used to say, oh, you know, we only expect
numbers like that when you've got big market teams, and
and we have we had some in the divisional round,
but also moving forward, I expect huge ratings for the
a f C Championship game. And I don't think you'd
consider Kansas City or Cincinnati either being that larger markets,

(21:13):
at least in comparison to San Francisco in Philly. Right
as far as media markets and the and the NFL
used to be kind of concerned about that. I think
other professional sports you hear about that, like, oh man,
we wish it could be New York, we wish could
be l A. We know our ratings will be bigger,
right and the NFL it I guess the point where
it doesn't really matter. And I love that one for

(21:34):
the game. I love that for the players. I love
that for the smaller markets, especially Midwest cities that you know,
the Kansas City, which a team I played for, like,
I love that. I love that for them, I really do. Um.
I also think it just shows the dominance of football.
And it's not just the NFL. It's also college football
that's been growing too. You know, you go back look

(21:55):
at the semifinal viewership numbers and compare that to other
whether it's NBA playoffs or n h L or Major
League Baseball, it doesn't matter, like it's it's not really
even that close. So football is at a very very
healthy point. I do wonder what I hear these numbers, like,
is it possible for them to keep going up? I

(22:16):
mean this new TV media rights deal that's been struck
with the NFL, everything I've heard considering the length of it,
because it was actually ended up being over ten years
because they did it early, is I guess it was
ten or whatever it end up being, is that this
may be the last big one because of cord cutting
and how the cable industry has impacted by it, and

(22:37):
how everyone's going to adapt and adjust. And so it
sounds good now, and I think if if you're the NFL,
you've got to feel good about it. If you're the
TV networks, you feel even better about it because all
the money you're able to make off the advertising dollars
and spend. But if you get satisfied, that can be
a scary future for you, if you can't find days

(23:00):
of adapting and adjusting in the future, because at some
point this is gonna it's gonna be capped out and
you're gonna have to find other ways of driving revenue.
You're gonna have to have other ways of adapting to streaming,
which is becoming, you know, even more the fat as
more and more people cord cut. So it's look at
the NFL is in a great spot. It's king and
it's not even close. But you can't be satisfied if

(23:23):
you're the NFL or if you're these TV networks and
thinking that this is gonna last forever. Mm hmm ah.
That's an interesting commentary yet, and and and it's probably
the reason why they're working so hard to expand their borders.
This is why you see games taking place in Wimberley Stadium.

(23:45):
You you you see them marketing flag football. You know
people you know, it's it's like, why is it flag football? Why? Flag? Flag?
Flag flag? What's it all about? Well, you're trying to
hit affer different demo. You know, not only are you
trying to expand your borders, but you're trying to expand
the reach of the interest. And if you can get

(24:10):
women and girls to want to play the sport, even
though it's not tackle, it's still relatable to the game itself,
and especially if it's resonating from NFL NFL programming. So,
you know, I thought it's interesting here, and you say
that because then you start to think about, Okay, the

(24:30):
Pro Bowl has fizzled out, but what are you replacing
the Pro Bowl with. I think the main attraction, outside
of the skills challenges, is it's a it's a girl's
it's a girl's um flag football game that's gonna be played.
Something to that effect. So I do think that there
is a obviously there is a bubble for for the

(24:51):
amount of success and the amount of viewership that they have,
But I think that they are proactively looking at that
bubble and trying to figure out how do you prolong
that that bursting, so to speak, for as long as
you possibly can. And I think that that's what you
have to probably do. You have to really really work
to make the game more appealing outside of the regular

(25:15):
either sports fan or the die hard football fan, is
what I would say. I also think that there's going
to be not as much competition out there, and we're
already seeing that now because everybody wants to get involved
with live sports because it's the only real live thing
that you've got. Like the w w E is rumored
to be up for sale and there's some thought out

(25:35):
there that it's going to go for like five or
six billion dollars. And part of that is because they
do live events and they're hesitant to go to a
streaming site like a Netflix or someplace like that, because
they don't want to do episodic television where you can
just binge watch it all. They want to make an
appointment television. Well, the NFL has no choice, like like
that's what they do. And they've sort of found themselves

(25:57):
in this spot to where they're kind of they're kind
of the only the show in town when it comes
to that season in that regard. And so when I
look at them and I say, they figured out how
to how to make gambling part of the deal and
and way to make that work revenue wise and money wise,
I have no questions about whether or not they're going
to continue on with this. I just wonder how they're

(26:18):
going to decipher what the ratings are. How that gets done,
you know, because there are some people that watch on
their phone, there's some people that watch in other ways.
They need to figure out a way that they can
try and find out what those numbers are. So those
numbers are in the ratings. So so you have to
understand Nielsen does ratings that of which have I have

(26:40):
changed a little bit over time. You know, you used
to not be able to get the numbers and ratings
for bars, right, so you know, Jonas, your brother's got
a bar, right, like they put the game on. Those
ratings weren't cow You're talking about households, And so that's changed,
and that's been able to I think, add to some
of the viewership and creating a more accurate portrait ail
of how many people are actually watching. But in regards

(27:03):
to streaming that the differences the metrics used are different,
you know, because the people who are viewing on their phone,
a tablet, a computer, you know, typically don't sit and
watch as long. And so you're kind of looking at
like how many people you know tapped in to actually
watch that, how long did they stay to watch it?
You know, the things that you're using to sell to advertisers,

(27:24):
if you're talking about like an advertising based streaming service,
is going to be different. Um, it's it's more of
like time spent on that page, right, because then you're
gonna see more advertising viewership usually in games, you're gonna
measure that too. On broadcast and cable television, but the
difference is gonna be you know, people typically stay longer
because if that's what's on, that's what they're watching. You know,

(27:46):
they're sitting down in front of their TV. It's a
it's appointment television is as Jonas pointed out. The one
thing I'd argue that Jonas is where you're kind of
not looking at this the right way is Netflix and
some of these other streaming services have to get into
live events. If you look at your Netflix now, you
currently have the ability to pay a cheaper subscription to
add advertisements, which is no different than cable television. Right

(28:09):
you subscribe to Netflix, you can pay a premium to
be able to not have those advertisements, or you can
pay less and have to watch advertisements and commercials, which
I'm sure older folks. Yeah, so that's part of the
business model because they can then derive your greater income
from people who maybe I don't want to pay that

(28:29):
premium to go without the ads, Like I'm a I'm
the type of guy where I'll listen to the pandor
for free. I don't give a crap. I grew up
listen to commercials. I grew up listening to, you know,
radio and being on that, so it doesn't bother me.
But you better believe someone ten years younger is like,
oh I can't stand this, Oh my gosh, I have
to listen to I have to watch commercials. I can't

(28:49):
binge watch. So you got like the way they're vaping
too much? That was too much vaping apparently, well not
to it off at a complete tangent, because I know
we're against the break, but there's there's you know, there's
just it's just a different generation of how they consume content.
And so the whole point is like someone like Netflix

(29:10):
has to seriously consider looking at live events. I don't
know that w w E is the right fit, but
if you look at their business model, they have exclusive
original content, that's great. They have an you know, a
subscription model, and an advertising model they add to that.
But if you don't have live sports, you're getting left out,
not only on the revenue you can generate from having that,

(29:30):
but as Jone is touched on the gambling that goes
along with it, and that also has you know, those
books have the pockets and the ability to spend. So
if you're not a part of that, you know it's
gonna be hard to be able to keep up with
the Jones as if you will well, And to your point,
it's like YouTube. When YouTube first came out, it was
just hey, go watch an old highlight, go watch an
old video. Now you can watch stuff in real time

(29:51):
like that, you can watch and so that's why they've
gotten a lot of people do and they've figured out
a way to to to get involved with that as
well too. So you know, when you're sports parent, you're
not able to it's where you're never home. When you
become a sports parent, it's always something, especially if you
messed around and had multiples of kids, right, so it's

(30:15):
like you're always out. And that's when I discovered, because
I'm not a technology person per se, like I'll use it,
but somebody has to set everything up for me and
be like this is exactly how you use it. Make
it as simple as possible. Otherwise I'm not doing it.
But I discovered, and this was through me wanting to
see Penn State play. I discovered how to stream and

(30:39):
how to be a part of the game experience through
my phone while sitting at sporting events, you know, which
is you know, I don't know. For me, that was
a major breakthrough for for what I have going on.
And and so it's interesting you just see a new
and it makes you wonder in terms of ratings and

(31:01):
how it's all done and the whole idea of streaming
and and then seeing how things went with you know,
whole the whole Amazon Prime on Thursday Night football. Um,
I just feel like almost it has to be at
some point a definitive move to digital. I really think

(31:21):
that that's where it's all going, and that's where it's
gonna end up. Yeah, we're probably like at least a
decade or more away from that, though, you know, yeah,
well I I don't know. I don't know the numbers
on on that or the projection on it, but I
do know that you gotta be looking at it from
the standpoint of when you see kids sitting on the
couch right in front of a big screen TV and

(31:44):
they're consuming the same content that's on that big screen
TV on their phones, you know, those are becoming our
next adults. Those are your your Let's think about the
things you did as kids that you don't do as adults, right, Like, well,
do you still play Atari like as often as you
used to write? I mean, that's the only thing I
always say as far as trends go, is once you

(32:06):
start having a family, which you start having kids, once
you start having a job, it kind of puts you
in a different box where you're like, you know what,
I'm not gonna watch this on my phone. I have money,
I have a living room, I have a nice TV.
I'm gonna go watch it there, and you're gonna watch
with other people. You're not all grouped around your phone.
So look, maybe I'm wrong, Maybe We're just gonna be
this disconnected society where everyone just sits around in the

(32:28):
same room and watches on their phone. But I don't
foresee that happening. It is Two Pros and a Cup

there's some downright ugly things. It's time for good, bad

(35:02):
and lovely. All right, lead to lap. Who the hell's
got what this week? Well, as we do each and
every Wednesday, we start with the good and Jonas you
have the privilege of letting us know what was good
this week. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Cincinnati Bengals
and Joe burrow Man. Oh Man, they walked right into
Buffalo and whooped that ass. I don't want to hear
about conspiracy theories. I don't want to hear about snow.

(35:25):
I don't want to hear about home field, neutral site,
whatever you want to call it. The Bills were the
preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl. Josh Allen was
the preseason favorite to win m v P and they
got absolutely exposed on Sunday. Cincinnati is better, Joe Burrow
is better than Josh Allen, and the Bengals are often
run into the a f C title game. Wow, what

(35:48):
a statement. And guess what you get that sort of
anger when you got the Bills minus five and a
half and they put that together on Sunday. So that's
what they get. Messed with the bull to get the horns. Well, fellas,
you can't have good without the bad. Levard what was
bad this week? Uh, well, let's keep it football then, Uh,

(36:08):
let's go Dallas. Let's go more specifically Dak Prescott. Uh.
In a moment in time where he could have built
his resume, built his reputation, and seemingly solidified being what
what he needed to be for the team, he went
um easily for thirty seven for two oh six and

(36:30):
two interceptions, while a Mr. Irrelevant on the other side
of the ball went nineteen of twenty nine for two
and fourteen yards, leaving him with more yards thrown than
Dak Prescott and no interceptions, no turnovers, building his reputation.
One brock Party, I thought it was really bad for

(36:51):
Dak Prescott and it was really bad for Dallas. Jeez,
there you go from bad to worse. Brady, let us
know what was ugly this week? Well, I mean the
final play for Dallas that was luckily bad bad ending.
But you know what I think is ugly right now,
and we're probably not gonna touch on it, so I'll
take a chance to touch on it here. The Hall

(37:13):
of Fame voting for baseball, it's just it's when all
the writers and the voters get the whole there. You know,
Esteemed votes over a lot of players who are Hall
of Famers should be Hall of famers, but for whatever reason,
and it could be, you know, due to the steroid
area all that. That's that whole thing, which look, it

(37:33):
was rampant, everyone was doing it. I don't know why
they hold it over some of those guys heads. I know,
you know it was against the rules, but they were
They've been testing for it back then. I mean, that's
the other thing. It's like, it's the whole process. To me,
I hate it's the worst way of getting into the
Hall of Fame I think of any professional sports. So
it tends to get ugly and I hate what comes
from it? Good way to air him out. Did we

(37:57):
get here baseball thinking maybe just skate during the offseason.
