Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is the best of two pros and a couple
of Joe with Lamar Areas, Rady Quinn and Jonas Knocks
on Fox Sports Radio. Good morning, how's everybody feeling? We
need more than one cup of Joe this morning? It's
a humpday. Is a humpday? Big time? How many cups
(00:23):
of Joe we're looking at today? What do you think?
And a half? It's a good one. It's a good one.
I'm on one right now. I don't know how many
cups of Joe can you take? Let's see one? Three? Three?
Three cups of Joel the touts year old chocolate inside
(00:48):
the actual lollipop. What's wrong with you? Do you spill everywhere? Where?
Does your mind go? Because we were talking about that,
that's what that is. My mind went somewhere my mind.
That was probably a question. I just thought of it
because how long do you think that chocolate had been
(01:10):
sitting wherever it was sitting before somebody finally got to it?
Because it was never and I just looked back on it. Go.
There was probably a lot of candy and stuff we
took in his children that he looked back on and go.
Not a great idea, Hey, that used to be the
jam though, like they had a little bundle, you know,
they had the purple purple red like that used to
be the jail. And remember they had the chocolate one.
(01:32):
There was that lie that was passed around that said
if you if you got the Native American shooting the
star on the rapper, you got a free tutsie roll
pop when you took it in. I remember taking it
into some guy at a story looked at me like
I had five eyes and they had. They had us
so sold on proofs of purchases. I used to cut
(01:52):
out the bottom of the bar codes or whatever on
on my cereal to get to get free like action figures.
Do you remember you get so many proofs of purchases
you could go redeem them for for a free Action figure.
It was hard to do when you were eating the
bag cereal though, you know. But again here we go
(02:13):
hard had lunch pail. Some people are different though, you
guys know how in Pennsylvania, behind your gated communities, you
weren't really familiar with all that bag cereal stuff. Mean
streets out here, it's almost call it a stock ate.
Some of us grew up hard for I did it
I did not grow up. I'm lying. If I said
(02:36):
I did, I'm sorry. Straight out of Compton Nah North Hills,
baby cross township A can we bid farewell to one
of the great mysteries of the NFL offseason or the
NFL is close to off season. He executed, gosh, the
Denver Broncos coaching search that nobody could figure out, nobody
(03:00):
could pinpoint what exactly was going on. And I'm still
not sure I entirely get it. But yeah, no, it's not.
It's Sean Payton. Congratulations to the Denver Broncos. They've got
their guy. Sean Payton is gonna go ahead and take
the job. But this was after a trade was pulled
(03:21):
off between the Broncos and the Saints. So you've got
the Denver Broncos trading their first round pick, which is
never twenty nine overall second round pick, in exchange for
the rights to Sean Payton, who went ahead and signed
a five year deal with the team, and also a
third rounder in So Sean Payton is going to go
(03:42):
ahead and take the job, and he gets the task
of trying to tell Russell Wilson, Yeah, that office is
gonna go all right, we're gonna put some stuff in there,
and and you can go on and move down, as
Brady pointed out, to the mail room or the boiler room,
moving forward and figure it out there next to a
stack of paper and some staplers that have been left
over for twenty years. So that's that. Let's get into
(04:05):
the details of why this took so long, right. The
reports are that it was the trade component that drugged
this out. That the Saints obviously wanted to try to
get as much value for Sean Payton as they could, uh,
and and they did, but I think they were trying
to base it off of was it a bill parcels
trade jonas that I saw? Yeah, there was the parcels
(04:27):
because they and they gave a list of all the
other like comp trades that were out there. And the
last time something like this had been pulled off it
was Herm Edwards between the Jets and the Chiefs, I think,
and it was for like a fourth round pick, but parcels.
I think Belichick might have been a one as well too.
But yeah, they had a list of all the different
(04:47):
trades that are involved racial and Gruden as well her words,
four frown, Automo, other guys first rounds racial man to
be that would be motivated we're trying to make here
is that the trade. The trade portion of this is
what made it take longer than what I think a
(05:07):
lot of us, you know, fought how this process would work.
That alongside of the fact that you know, look, if
the Broncos can't get a trade done, and the only
way to pressure the Saints is to keep acting like
you're talking to other candidates, so well that's Tamiko Ryan's
or Jim Hobbaugh, Jim Harball, that they had to keep
playing that that hand and keep playing that that you know,
(05:29):
you know, poker's face out if you will to force
the Saints to eventually say, okay, like here's what we'll
agree to to get this done. And obviously, with the
what what the Broncos traded forward to get Russell Wilson
and gave away to the Seattle Seahawks, it's not like
they have a ton of a ton of draft capital left.
So they've got their coach, hopefully, they've got their quarterback,
(05:50):
and they've got a roster that they must, you know,
think they can win with right now with not having
many high draft picks, that would be good in the
back end of the draft, as well as obviously utilizing
the South recap. It's gonna be an interesting journey to
watch this. I thought that they were a player away
from being a a Super Bowl contender this past year.
(06:14):
I think they took steps back. Um when you know
it was a Chubb that they lost in in free
agency or to a trade traded into Miami. Yeah, I mean,
I just I think some of the main guys, you know,
I just think that they might have lost the essence
of what they had built. I mean, their defense was
stout all year and and did some really fine things
(06:37):
that they do have a lot of talent still on
offensive side of the ball. I mean, I guess if
you really look at it, there is the opportunity for
them to have success. They're gonna have to find a
running game, I would assume. I mean, you know, Sean
Payton has historically known to have a dynamic running back,
(06:58):
uh in his backfield. Um, you know, there's there's going
to be the whole conversation of what will the relationship
be between him and Russ and and how that will
will play out and pan out. Will Russell be be
open hearted, open minded to what uh, Sean Payton wants
(07:18):
to come in and do, there's gonna always be that
that idea. So I would say this, there probably are
less than a handful of coaches that would be able
to come in and most likely navigate what they're going
to have to do um to have success in Denver
(07:39):
considering you know, maybe it's not as bad as it
may have appeared to be. Maybe it was just a
lack of understanding, a lack of experience, a lack of
knowledge that played out this past season and why it
looks so bad. Um, But I would say on that
that short list of people that would be able to
navigate it, Sean Payton, Sirt, and Lee fits the bill
(08:01):
on a guy that can come in and actually have
a an impact on on this team fairly quickly. It
took a long time to get to this point. But
if you were looking at candidates that were on the market,
and I think there was some stuff out there, um.
I think Mike Cliss, who covers the Broncos is covering
him for a long time, pointed out that they're two
top candidates were Jim Harbon Sean Payton, that those were
(08:25):
the two guys that they had targeted, and you did
end up getting one of them. I mean, you got
you ended up getting Sean Payton. So although the the
you know, the path they took to get here was
a bunch of side roads and a bunch of back
alleys and and weird reports and weird stories out there,
they do end up getting their guy. And I actually,
I mean I think it puts them in a better
position than they would have been, you know, as currently stated,
(08:48):
with all the other rumors and and potential candidates that
were out there. At least now you've got somebody who
commands a respect of Russell Wilson, like we've talked about,
and and now he's the guy who's got to take
over and try and fix whatever the hell went wrong
last year. I just I find it hard to believe
that Russell Wilson in one season turned to that. I
(09:10):
I find it hard to believe that he can't get
back to some sort of you know, Pro Bowl slash
m v P ish type form. And a guy who's
you know, one of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL,
you know, especially in a division where you absolutely needed
so to me, it feels like it's gonna work it
costs him a lot, but and then in the end
they end up getting their guy. So I mean, you
gotta feel like Sean Payton's one of those guys next
(09:33):
to like a Kyle Shanahan and whatever the offensive mind
you were throwing this category, but you have to think that,
you know, he's one of those offensive minds you look
at and say, if he can't get this guy to
play his best football, no one can. That Is that
fair to say that it's an indictment on Russ if
he doesn't have a good year next year? Yes, all
(09:53):
as on me, as Tupac would saying, you know what
else that that I would say, yeah, no doubt I would.
So add to this in terms of with Sean Payton,
you gotta believe he has that as ammunition if if
need be, like, look for us, you you you did it,
You did it your way last year, Like let me
let me do what I need to do so that
(10:16):
you don't ruin a Hall of Fame career. Let me
let me do what I need to do so that
we can go get a championship and redeem everything that
you know you want to be in. Like you Sean
Payton will definitely be able to leverage and hold that
in his hip pocket that you you were less than
(10:36):
bad this year, less than bad, Like that's and that's
saying a whole lot bad. You trie trifling. My homeboy
shot out to my bad Ricardo. Uh, he always calls
when somebody does something that that's less than exemplary. Um trifling. Yeah,
(10:57):
he was trifling. Russell Wilson was trying rifling this year. Yeah.
It's a it's a tough division. Though. You're not in
the NFC South anymore, so you got huh. So, yeah,
the Saints get or the and and the North. And look,
the Saints get back in the first round. They didn't
have a first round pick, so the Saints get back
in the first round. So that's good for them. And
(11:18):
now and now, I mean they look, you know, all
they gotta do is find a quarterback. And then once
they figure that out and decide whether or not they
want to roll back with the Andy Dalton Jamis Winston
platoon like they did last year, then now the Saints
are back up and running and and often in a
positive direction there. So that was one of the mysteries
of this past year for the Saints. Like I remember thinking,
(11:41):
like I'm excited to see what Jamis can do. You know,
he's he's got this opportunity. He gets hurt and then
Dalton goes in and then Don't just stays in like
it was like they never never want to come back
to Jamison and he and something like Dalton played that well. No,
that's what I'm like, I don't understand what's happening here,
Like you should we give Jamis an opportunity? All right? Yeah,
(12:01):
I know don't played well and I had a good
camp and played ball in preseason, I guess, But yeah,
it's unfortunate. What do you think I haven't seen the
contract details for Sean Payton? What do you think we're
looking at? You think it's anywhere close to the five
million that he was got to be? We'll never know,
but it's gotta be t funny. We won't know. Why
can't we get that information? It's kind of interesting. We
(12:23):
can ask Albert Breer tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure that,
I mean, it's gonna be word about. It's very funny.
Think they don't disclose that stuff. Very curious players s
b all out there right there for you. There it is.
How much escalators, bonuses, this, that, another playing video. People
telling you what you made. Sometimes you ain't lying them
(12:45):
coaches though they I mean, we know what broadcasters make,
now do we? Yeah, we put it out there. Well
we know, we know Tony Romo makes seventeen eighteen million
dollars a year. If that's what we know, because his
agent may just sure to make it. Let everyone know.
I will say this too. I think if he wasn't
making that, let's say he was making a tenth of that,
you would I don't think people would be as critical
(13:09):
of him. I don't even pay attention to people's paychex
will not watch him. I just do I Do I
feel good watching it? Or do I not? I love
turn the music on when Tony Romo is on on
the games on the call. But okay, real out too,
by the way, and I'm not disagreeing with that, Like,
I think there's an element of hey, if they got
here is a good job. It does a good job.
(13:30):
But once you find out what that guy's making, and
then you know you're going way the second he makes
how much, you're like, yeah, yeah, he's awful. Like it
Actually it changes the reaction a bit. Yeah, it's been
a ready fallout for him. It's been a little rough
for him. It hasn't been an apology though now. And
I feel that way about Jonas. He's working. What do
you mean, I mean, Berna, we're gonna take this. LaVar
(13:56):
is attacking Tony Romo and me no queues attacking Tony Romo.
I'm attacking you, Okay, I mean We're gonna take this.
I mean this is this is ridiculous. Said that Tony
Romo stink. You know, let's say that he choose gravel
for for breakfast with with hot water, and and Jonas
(14:17):
I said, you stink because you make too much money. Yeah,
that's what we said. Can we go back to LaVar
basically giving the worst dis any sort of color analysts
could get is when you're on TV, I turn music.
I'm just saying that's just disrespectfules. You wanna make a
(14:39):
color analyst cry before they like get ready to go
and broadcast the game. Say that to you, like saying, hey, man,
have a great game, really look forward to watching. I'm
gonna turn music on while the game. Yeah it's h
that's unfortunate, but you know what a listen everybody has
a rough year. Maybe he's the broadcasting equivalent to Russell Wilson.
(15:00):
And now he comes back around next year. Who did
I bringing into coach him? Yeah? Who's gonna coach him up? Yeah?
Who's who's produce their Sam Potash? We want to send
Potash on that Brady, see if he can get that
done or what See if he was an he's got
anything going on, maybe he can fix that problem. He
will go with that, you know, you know, you know,
(15:21):
dropping some knowledge. You're gonna ask yourself to like, is
that a problem you can't fix? You know? Yeah? I
mean the thing is is the product is good enough
where you'll turn the music on and watch the game.
You won't not watch the game. You know. There's some
dudes that are so trash you don't even watch the show,
like all because Phil Sims kind of fart in the booth,
(15:41):
Like that's what this is about. Jim Nances. I mean,
Jim Nance is so frustrated. He's regretting that. Now. I
bet you you take that fart now you know he
put Furthermore, I type of person I feel like fart
around people. I think it's so disrespectful. That's why when
Lee does it. I'm like, it grosses me out. If
(16:03):
you can't hold it, then go go outside, go to bathroom.
What if you couldn't make it, I don't know, Hey, LaVar,
swallow it, then figure it out. It's just so disrespectful,
really is. I had a co worker tell me the
other day. She walked in the office. She's like, the
(16:26):
worst thing ever happened to this morning, that could happen.
She's like, I went down in my gym early. I'm
on the treadmill. I take my headphones off. This guy
has his headphones on. He's running the treadmill next to me.
He doesn't realize and he absolutely blows up the entire place.
It's just those two in there, and she's like, I
wanted to die. She's like it was so bad and
(16:47):
it was like kind of musty in there, and it
was just not go away taste it. The whole thing's
a smell like that. Why do why do? Yeah? I know,
but I just can recall growing up. Why smell like that?
They're not clean? Yeah? You know what else smelt like that?
Kindergarten rooms. Kindergarten rooms. Yeah, I hate to smell of
(17:11):
a kindergarten kindergarten. Basically, it's a giant diaper in there now.
But it also can I can I just defend though
these people that are, you know, cutting it and not
really having any regard for people around them, Well, let
me just defend him. No, it's not me as far
on the fart rankings on this show, in this studio,
dead Last, dead Last can't be dead Last because I've
(17:35):
never done it around you. There you go, okay, well,
here's so tied for last. No you're not tied. No,
what do you mean? You're not totally innocent. But the
point is, let me just defend people out there that
are looking that are feeling guilty listening to this right now,
Like your point, somebody's farting right now as they're listening.
I think people got way too used, got way too
(17:56):
used to wearing masks, and then have lost all sense
of their surroundings and now are starting to realize, oh,
those days are over. I need to get back on track,
and I can't just let it fly, and I actually
have to think about people. I will say it is
a little bit more pleasant on flights anymore, because for
(18:18):
a moment there you pull your mask down and it
was mass destruction of your no showering. People weren't putting
on deodorant. It was just that recycled air was horrible, horrible.
Let me give you a piece of ice. Sorry, I
just just hold it in, all right, Wait till you're
in a private space and go buy a packet coum. Yes,
(18:39):
how many people do you think realized? Oh so I
do have platosis. I'm giving up on trying to get
people to brush their teeth. Go buy a packet coum.
You know what, They still have denial, probably sitting there
like it's the mask. I'll throw this one out and
get a new one. Oh, you know, give it two
minutes and you'll realize that, Well, it's the mask again, right, yeah,
better get disposable. What's system? It's a disposable lips, you
(19:02):
know what it's this, it's this brand of mass. Yeah,
it's a great point. It doesn't work well with my breath.
And that's that is the recap of the hiring of
Sean Payton by the Denver Broncos. 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 e sting three am Pacific on Fox
(19:23):
Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. So we
were talking about this, sir, I just wanted to ask
you as a question. I don't like vanilla and centamon spice.
By the way, is that the coffee flavor? Yeah, I
don't like It's kind of racist. Great point. Again, that's
a great point. Can't say anything around here. I mean,
I'm just talking about my creamer, all right. I don't
(19:45):
like it. Sentiment and vanilla mix, I don't. I just don't.
I don't like it. I mean, I don't like the
mix of it' that's horrible, sounds horrible, definitely does. I'm sorry.
Racists like you should be calling games for CBS. Didn't
even know that cinnamon was a race, you know, didn't
was one either, you know or whatever. But at Canello,
Canello centnamon right, Yeah, I'm talking about Espaniel there. I mean,
(20:10):
but that's his name, you know, that's Canello's name. Yeah, Alvarez, Yeah,
Canello boxer, Yeah, from Jalisco. He's Mexican. Yeah, it definitely is. Yeah.
I've seen him fight, Yeah, I saw him fight. Uh,
Floyd Mayweather Junior it's a good fighter. It Floyd was
smart about that. He fought him before he uh got better.
(20:31):
Don't do that, It's true. Don't do that. I'm not.
I mean, he was probably the best dude to to
fight him. Nobody else was going to have a chance
to beat him. That was the only one. Yeah, I
don't know. And he does pack you for feed Stop
that stop, definitely stop. His fights were born by the way. Oh,
they mean because he's a boxer. I mean, I love
(20:53):
it like boxing. I love Floyd Mayweather, but you know
that he's a boxer. Still haven't got any he's on.
The fight was a boxer's definitely. Mike Tyson was a fighter.
There's a difference. His style was fighting Packy. I was
more exciting than Mayweather, Okay, and then he got his
ass knocked out a few times because of that excitement,
got his chin in the way of a few few
But then you know what, came back. I got knocked out,
(21:18):
now I didn't never even got knocked down again. Yeah,
came back and fought well, yeah whatever did what's his record?
A lot to a little? Why you hating on Packy?
Y'all hating on Floyd? Floyd hating out a Floyd, don't
hate on TV. You know what TV? The best ever?
(21:40):
Thank you? Yeah? I know you knew it. Yeah, that's
what that's I think? Are we really calling him the
best ever? I mean he calls himself the best ever?
I mean I was gonna ask you, like when you
this is like child was lit beat his as? Sugar
made him quit? Oh that was the ray that was
(22:01):
Dan Roberto Duran Savas was a good fighter, but didn't
didn't for know, Whittaker beat him? Did sweet can beat him? Okay?
All right, I'm just saying the whole history of boxing
like that all of a sudden. I mean he I mean,
there's only there's only one other fighter that would undefeated.
What who was that? Uh? Was that Rocky Massiana? Who
(22:21):
wasn't that that? Whatever? I mean, yeah, let's let's relax on.
I mean the man went undefeated as a pro like
that's yeah, lets him He also he was also very
crafty about you know what fighter wasn't crafty. I'll tell
you one guy that that you should be paying attention
to right now. Craft Vante Davis didn't have a great
(22:43):
output in his fights, but who he can crash it? Yeah,
when when he looked as laid down, dropped that hammer.
He drops that hammer on you. Thomas was siming. I
didn't know him one time, so okay, nice, I mean
Julio was. He was a beast. Now that's a lot
of fights, know, yeah, I dig it, and some wasn't
as good as did I ever tell you the story?
(23:07):
So Toom's Abikowski before a senior year, he goes and
fights in Madison Square gardens. So we all road trip
out to New York City and we go on for
the fight, and uh, we we're pretty pretty tuned up,
all legal at that point when we had drank a
little bit. But we got there in New York City,
by the way, What a great city. I love New York.
(23:28):
All right, so we go down in this tunnel, right,
we're like outside locker room, you know, getting Zimbi all
hyped up, the whole whole group of us and wholi
Seesar Chavez his son's fighting, Junior's fighting. So we see
Senior and one of our defensive linemen. I'll never forget this.
Trevor Laws played d tackle for US, played in the NFL.
(23:50):
He uh, he was like, hey punched me in the stomach.
So this is what seventeen years eighteen year years ago,
how old would have chop? Has Senior been that? But
put in all seriousness like he's one of the sixties
at that point, where probably okay. So he's like, hey
(24:14):
punched me in the stomach, and like there is a
little bit of a language barrier, but we kind of
figured out. He's like no, no, no, no, no, no,
I can't do that. So he goes he takes his
hand instead of making a fist, he just puts his
hand flat kind of like he's giving you a high five,
and points to the tip of his fingers and so
he's just gonna quickly kind of give my little jab
to the gut with his finger like that. And so
(24:36):
Trevor braces himself and he kind of turns goes it
kind of gives a little one to like and at
first Trevors like oh, and he like like it wasn't
that bad. Then he dropped to the floor and he
was down there rolling like he had knocked the wing
completely out of him with the tip of his fingers.
I've never seen like Trevors a big dude. He's just
(24:57):
a three h pounds. I've never seen a dude drop
that fast like that, just from the tip of a
man's fingers. It just do they train their entire life
and punch after punch after punch, and that's all they
do for hours upon hours. That's interesting that you guys
would bring that up because you know Tank is gonna
fight gar see it at some point. Yeah, they are.
(25:19):
And you know he's known for the whole punch challenge.
You know, you put the put the punching, punching uh
pad on and then he punches you until you can't
take it anymore. Yeah. Yeah, so they both punch really hard. Well,
I'll believe it when I see it. That's boxing was
supposed to have, you know, great fights all the time.
And Earl Spence is supposed to fight happening. Who was it?
(25:43):
Who was it again? Crawford Crawford, Spence Crawford, And they're
saying that Crawford won't won't make it hiss, That won't
make it happen. Everybody says, I would love to see
that fight man that that. I don't know which one
I would rather see more, but I would love to
see Crawford and Spence. That would be nice. I just
want HBO back. That's all I want. Now, who do
(26:05):
you want those broadcasts? I mean you name it. I mean,
I don't want the old crew back. I want I want,
I want Lampley by Quinn. I want the whole crew. Right.
Put put Roy and you know, because we don't have
a manual anymore, So put Roy up in there and
let him like also a big Larry Merchant fan, Larry merchants? Alright,
(26:30):
is cadence after the fight you have Larry Merchant? Brady,
did you to the restroom? Expect to get that soon up?
Before the fight? You just decided to get blasted early on.
(26:53):
He irritated so many fighters bulls and he loved it.
Who was the guy who was gonna get a fight there, Floyd? Yeah,
maybe that's why I even gonna be honest. That work
no more. That's why I even gonna be on this step.
Work no more. Man at the best. I'm going to
(27:14):
South time so good. Yeah, those are the good old days,
but unfortunately it's all gone now. Um. I also, can
I say this, we're talking about the Pro Bowl and
what has happened to the Pro Bowl and talking boxing
was way more interesting. Okay, but here's the best part
of the Pro Bowl. How about the fact that Josh
(27:35):
Allen is not partaking in the Pro Bowl because he's
got his elbow issue, but he is going to be
partaking in the Pebble Beach Pro Am this week. Canny
can't play in the Pro Bowl because of his elbow,
but he's gonna go to the golf tournament in Pebble Beach.
Why don't we keep trying to do this Pro Bowl game?
Why why can't the NFL? I mean, here's the reality is.
(27:59):
I'm sure once we go to eighteen regular season games
that it's like that, you know, it eats into that
week and maybe we only need one week lead up
the Super Bowl. Maybe not. Maybe logistically you've got to
have two weeks for the teams, for their families, all
that to make plans to be there. But I don't know.
In today's age, I think it's it's probably easy to
get something's done in a week's time golf tournament. For
(28:23):
the Pro bowld to do anything other than what they're doing,
I mean, seriously, do anything like stop. There's no reason
to put players at risk. Let them go out in
golf if they want to figure it out, like do
do a whole match type things like bowling, bowling, teams
of bowling. You know, there you go. It could be
like a whole like Olympics, other sports like pediatric canc Yeah,
(28:47):
they would like a real giveback. Makes the NFL like
we just gave you all games beer Paul Roger. So
Roger Goodell changed the Pro Bowl and put it the
week before the Super Bowl because his his logic back
then was, I don't like the idea of the last
game of the year being an exhibition game. But the
(29:09):
problem is you're now, all of a sudden, more guys
don't want to partake, and and with the move and
all that stuff. So you've got either guys that can't
play because they're in the Super Bowl, and and look
how many Philadelphia Eagles you know, are Pro Bowlers that
are in the Super Bowl they can't participate, And then
Kansas City Chiefs as well. And then it's either that
(29:31):
or guys are looking at it going I just finished
the season. I'm not interested. It seemed like when it
was after the Super Bowl you had more players that
wanted to play. Now, Troy Aikman left during the middle
of the game because he was going on vacation somewhere,
which is just funny. But I feel like more players
would participate if it went back to being after the
Super Bowl as opposed to the week before. Yeah, but
(29:53):
it's Lav's point though. You gotta go back to Hawaii,
I guess. Make it. Make it a vacation. Yeah, you
gotta make it a vacation. Make it an accomplishment, you know.
I just but here's the problem is the money has
gotten so big nowadays. I don't think you can, like
like the I'm not sure you can make it big enough.
(30:16):
It's almost like talking to a college football player who's
not playing in the playoff and in an exhibition game.
I mean seriously, Like you can have a one game
insurance policy to protect you if you get injured. Is
that what you're essentially gonna do for the Pro Bowl?
Like you're gonna eat into the bonus you're getting from
being in the Pro Bowl, and you're gonna eat into
(30:38):
that by have to buy insurance policy just to protect
you in the event you get hurt. I mean, wouldn't
they have that? Wouldn't that be under your insurance policy
to begin with? I mean I always thought that you
have insurance policy yeah. I mean if you have one,
if you in the league and you're making Pro Bowls
and ain't got an insurance policy, you need call me.
Y'all need to call me. But I'll say this, thes
(31:00):
are is the purse is concerned. I mean, I think
it was like eighteen to twenty thousand that you would
get for participating, which a lot of people said that,
you know, alre it pays for the trip. And and
when I say pay for the trip, it's like you
bring your teammates, you bring family members, stuff like that,
and it like gets to like that type of number,
like super quick. But then if you win, you get
(31:20):
you get the same amount. So it's like kind of
like you were incentivized to win because you get another
eighteen or another twenty if you won the game. Why
wouldn't the league just pay for every for people's family
to go like a certain number of people, but they
didn't all the money they got. You got paid to
come to play in the game, and generally that was
used to you know, fly everybody in and put them
(31:42):
up and take care of Now, granted, if you're one
of those type of families where you don't need you're
you know, which I think you should do it anyway.
But I thought the coolest thing about the Pro Bowl
when I was there was bringing your teammates, you know,
like I didn't do it, but a lot of guys
didn't do it. But you know, certain teams did it.
Like the Steelers. They always had a linebacker in the
(32:02):
game always, and if one made it, they were all there.
Didn't you fly Dan Snyder in? No? I didn't. I
didn't know he didn't I flew I. No. No, I
never flew any teammates in either, you know, not for
any other linebackers. I should have. It's a regret I
didn't really know. You know, you you make the Pro
Bowls like you're happy about making it. But I didn't
(32:25):
know that that was. And I think it might have
been my second or my third year, which would have
been my last year going. Um, that was when I
realized that that's what the Steelers were doing, is that
the linebackers would fly the other linebackers and so if
two made it, they split the costs and the whole
linebacking corps would be there. You know, if one made it,
(32:45):
the whole entire linebacking corps would be there. And I
thought that was cool because they'd be on the beach. Like.
The one thing we did was we would go to
why Ki Ki and we sit on the beach. We
just sit like like we were in front of we'd
be in front of a restaurant, we'd be eating food
when we sit on the main strip of where people
like will walk like a strand you know what I mean.
Like it was pretty cool. Man, I ain't gonna lie
I was to look at it. It was it was.
(33:09):
It was a movie. I'll tell you that. That's a Yeah,
that's a sunglass trips for married men out there, dark
sunglasses and nobody sees nothing about Man. I was never
married when I was at the Pro Bowl, So just
keep that in mind. Yeah, all the unmarried people that
were at the Pro Bowl that we're participating, and then
some that even weren't participating in the Pro Bowl. Uh,
(33:30):
let's just say that they had a really good time enjoying. Uh, Hawaii,
it's a hard it's a hard one. It's a hard ticket.
It's a hard ticket to it to Hawaiian that can
help us out with that. Yeah, absolutely, it is two
pros and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports
Radio so we are going to hear from Petros. Papa
acis here coming up, coming up here shortly. But we
(33:52):
do have some breaking news out of the world of
football that we are going to get to right now though,
So for that we turn it over to Eddie Garcia
breaking news from Fox Sports. Well we've heard this dudes before, um,
but perhaps this one is going to stick. According to
(34:15):
Adam Schufter, Tom Brady is announcing his retirement from the NFL. Wow,
I'll believe it when I see I'll believe it when
day one of training camp starts and he's not there. Now.
He did release a video of this, so hopefully we
can get that and uh enrolled him will have it
when we come back from break. But yeah, Tom Brady
calling it a career there. But I think the difference
(34:38):
this time is some people thought like the whole retirement
and it was like a way of finagling himself out
of his contract or like allowing him to go somewhere else.
Potentially in the past, he's a free agent. You know,
there's nothing that stops so if he wants to go
play somewhere else, to go play somewhere else. So look,
he's been through a lot this past year, which we
(34:58):
also have been through a lot personally. Uh, And he's
had the greatest career that I think. I'll just go
on records saying to me, it's maybe the greatest care
of a professional athlete we've ever seen, at least of
the major sports. A brilliant career. Regardless of where people
fall on, that is one of the most brilliant careers ever.
(35:19):
And the thing man was a six round pick. Yeah,
what he was able to do. That was my draft.
Then it turned into his draft. That's his draft, all right,
So we do have, So we do have. This was
Tom Brady via social media, making his decision and his
announcement just a few moments ago. Good morning, guys. I'll
(35:41):
get to the point right away. I'm retiring for good.
I know the process, UH was a pretty big deal
last time. So when I woke up this morning, I
figured I just pressed record and let you guys know first,
so I won't be long winded. You only get one
super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year.
(36:04):
So really, thank you, guys so much, to every single
one of you for supporting me, my family, my friends,
my teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever. There's
too many. Um, thank you guys for allowing me to
live my absolute dream. I wouldn't change the thing. I
(36:29):
love you all. Wow, man, my error is gone. It's done.
And he was the last of the Mohicans for us.
You know, look, you see I made that about two thousand. No,
you kind of made it about hell. Yeah, that's the
only greatness that I ever I ever got to you know.
(36:50):
So yeah, you know who else is weeping right now?
Mark Davis, because now I's got to go back and
apologize to Derek Carr and say, way can we turn
you back? And we thought somebody was going to be available.
So yeah, there it is. Tom Brady, forty five years old. Serious,
he does sound like he's not he's he's done. He's
not joking. He's done. Now he comes to be part
(37:11):
of the Fox family. How about that's just gonna say.
The timing of this is interesting to given that the
super Bowl now is less than two weeks away, and
Sean Payne leaves, Tom Brady enters that that could be up.
You know that that could be subject to change too,
though you know, who knows if he doesn't want to
take a year off before he wants to jump into that,
(37:31):
or maybe really get a sense of if it's something
he wants to do. You know, maybe he wants to
be around his family and kids more and and actually
kind of you know, developed that portion of his life,
which obviously in his personal life has changed. God twenty
three seasons. Man, somebody just celebrated their twenty first birthday
(37:51):
in a bar and they're throwing up in some trash
can right now. They weren't even born when he started
his NFL career. What a wild run. Think about this too.
It though, you're also going to get at some point
in the future someone who will not be able to
comprehend the greatness. And it's crazy, Like it's kind of
sad too for that person to understand that there was
(38:13):
a point in time. We're basically you just banked on
seeing the Patriots at Tom Brady in the n f
C Championship Game and playing in the Super Bowl every
other year, and you like banked on if it was
a two minute drive, tom Brady leading them for a
two minute drive to win it, Like that's what that's
what you banked on, Like you watched it happen so
many times that you're like, I've seen this story again,
(38:35):
and yet through his thirties into his forties, he kept
doing it. Like I don't know that anyone has played
it as high of a level at his age that
he was. He had three Hall of Fame careers. Yeah,
but but but but it's not even just that, like
that's that's that we've we've talked about that. Did he
(38:55):
lead the league in attempts and completions this year at
forty five forty six this year? It's that like that
blows my mind, Like if you look at what Lebron
is doing, it's incredible as far as like the NBA standards,
playing at that high of level. Still at this point,
he's not in his forties. Yeah, he's not even his forties.
I mean you could have made like Tom Brady was
(39:15):
getting m VP votes last year and could have should
have won. Yeah, probably, Yeah, you probably could have made
the case he showed Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, That's what blows
my mind is like he's still going out playing at
a really high level. Yeah run you mentioned to Yeah,
we were in the same draft. Click we heard that,
by the way, So yeah, just the breaking news here.
(39:38):
Tom Brady Tom Brady is announced he is retiring uh
forty five years old, his twenty third season in the NFL,
and just a few moments ago he announced his retirement
Tom Brady. Be sure to catch live editions of Two

everything we're covering. Hearing and Jason Listen to This League

Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
Right now, we turn it over to the man himself, Petros.
Papa gets the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the Blowtorch a M five
seventy l a Sports Fox college football analyst at the
Old p on Twitter. Petros, Sorry, I know we're late.
We don't have a whole lot of time this week.
(40:46):
But the big news. I'm sure you're pretty distraught about
the retirement of Tom Brady. I don't know, uh, not
really distraught, but I guess he's not going to play
for the Raiders, yeah, or anyone else for that matter.
(41:07):
So is he going to show up on the Fox
NFL pregame show for the Super Bowl? We thought you
might have that. Come on, you come on. Brady's higher
up than me. He's a studio guy. Yeah, private jet,
our studio guys considered more important than game guys. Yeah,
that studio show. Yes, the big yeah is untouchable at Fox. Well, look,
(41:34):
you gotta have somebody sit there and call the game.
But look, for broadcasters, radio is one thing. People are lonely.
But when there's a game on TV, I gotta I
gotta break it to people. Most people just watch a
game on mute. I mean Romo screaming into the wind,
you know. I mean most people watch a game at
(41:55):
a bar with the TV on mute and the director
tells you what's going on, which is why the pictures
and the cameras are so important. The cool thing about
a game on TV is the game on TV, not
the guy talking so the people's face that you see
before and after the game and between the game and
(42:18):
all day, between all the games over and over again,
talking about the same stuff. Those people are quite important,
and that is Brady Quinn. You know that Gus Johnson
would totally fight you over what you just said. Oh
I know Gus well, and I've look I I'm a broadcaster.
I just but we have a tendency to take ourselves
(42:41):
way too seriously. And the truth is, the most important
people on a football game and the director and the
producer and the tape guys and the people that operate
the cameras, and in fact, those are the people that
are most involved in all that rules crap that everybody's
been talking about the last couple of days. I mean,
everybody seems to think the NFL has their own cameras
(43:03):
out there. No, everybody who's ever used any replay on
any game in college or the pros is looking at
our cameras, the TV cameras, the people that they're in
a partnership with. So it's an interesting conversation that most
people don't understand. But anyway, yes, I'm very happy for
Tom Brady that he seems to be at piece this time.
(43:25):
I mean Tom Brady was playing college football when I
was playing college football and LaVar. So that's uh, I'm forty.
I'm a little older. I think I'm forty five, and
I thought I was older than you. Actually know, you
just got done playing faster than we're. We're the same
age though, Okay, So uh, i'll be forty five. Yeah,
(43:48):
I'll be forty six in June. So I mean, happy birthday, Petrost.
You're you're still a Gemini. You're a Gemini. I am
a Gemini. I'm I'm I'm a cancer. Alright, yeah, all right,
thanks guys. All right. Tom Brady's best friend in college
(44:12):
was the first baseman from his high school baseball team,
a guy named Bill Peevee who they played together at
Sarah High. And Bill Peevey was our first baseman at
USC and so Brady would come and visit when he
was in college. And I gotta tell you, guys, he
was a huge dork and he still is, you know. Uh,
(44:36):
he's just a legendary dork. Uh, a goofy guy and
with a concave chest. And it's amazing that he became
the most consistent and we're talking about a team sport,
and it takes a whole It takes a whole village
of people, honestly to create a football team and to
(45:00):
put the product on the field. But I mean, everybody's
gonna be using all the all the words for the
next forty eight hours. But consistency and greatness and just
the ability to put it together for that many years,
I don't think we'll see again. Pretty damn remarkable, it
(45:21):
really is. But but what's as great as accomplishment in
your mind? I mean, you just mentioned just being such
a dork a ton cave chest. Is it overcoming the
concave chess as a quarterback in your mind? I don't know.
I guess it would just be having the fire to
compete at that level and to prepare at that level
for year in, year in and year out, firing you. Yeah,
(45:44):
in maybe every day I feel the fire, maybe to
tell radio stories, but not to get hit in the
face by Gilbert Brown whoever the hell was playing when
he started, you know, I mean, it's pretty it's it's
pretty amazing. And the fact that he's done it the
whole time in a sport with the most hardcore, mean,
(46:09):
tough edged people and violent people, some of them in
all of the world of athletics. It's hard to imagine
anybody being the way football players in the NFL are.
And here's this goofy guy from a Catholic school and
in northern California with a nice family structure and all
that and a great smile, and he dominated all of
(46:32):
it for for twenty plus years, which is just stupid.
You know how much he likes football, Petros, he gave
up his marriage for an eight nine season. Now is
his ex is riding horses with a Brazilian JSU guy
in Costa Rica, and he's like, I wouldn't change a thing.
It's like, all right, Tom, okay. My favorite story about
(46:57):
Tom Brady was from a guy that played with him
a New England and it was around the time the
that what was that song by Little John that was
out and stand man no uh turned down for what
remember that? Yeah? Uh? And like he didn't know the
lyrics right like and like uh uh, like the music
(47:21):
cut out in practice and all of a sudden you
hear Brady's like goofy voice yelling turned down the what
what's wrong with this guy? You know? And there's like
that video of him with the with the camera on
his face at the YouTube concert going Hello, Hello, hold
(47:43):
through the place called Bird and Go, and it's just
like God, this guy is a tool. But he really
put it together for a long I mean he really
Peyton Manning was just as good as a quarterback, right,
but he couldn't play for as long as Tom Brady
couldn't get it out as quickly. He couldn't be excellent
for that many years. You know, your body will betray you,
(48:05):
your your mind will betray you, your your will, I
mean that stuff will all go away, And for him
it stayed in there for a long time. Turned down
for what ye turned down for? It is two pros
and a cup of Joe here Fox Port Trade. But
what Petros papadgets. You can get him on Twitter at
(48:25):
the Old PU. He is the co host of the
Petros and Money show, which you can hear on What's
that place called Brady? Where you can find that show?
What's it's called something doing today? Okay, we don't have
to do it every time. You don't like being a puppet?
Do you would Don Martins say about that? What would
you say? You came back? Really listen to commercial for
(48:46):
twelve minute. Uh Petros will do it again next week.
We'll have more time, we promise. I love the energy, guys.
I love it though. I mean breaking news, breaking news
and big events. That's what this business is all. That's
way too good man, Pat Shross, We love you man, alright, well,

It is the best of two pros and a couple
of Joe with Lamar Areas, Rady Quinn and Jonas Knocks
on Fox Sports Radio. Good morning, how's everybody feeling? We
need more than one cup of Joe this morning? It's
a humpday. Is a humpday? Big time? How many cups
(00:23):
of Joe we're looking at today? What do you think?
And a half? It's a good one. It's a good one.
I'm on one right now. I don't know how many
cups of Joe can you take? Let's see one? Three? Three?
Three cups of Joel the touts year old chocolate inside
(00:48):
the actual lollipop. What's wrong with you? Do you spill everywhere? Where?
Does your mind go? Because we were talking about that,
that's what that is. My mind went somewhere my mind.
That was probably a question. I just thought of it
because how long do you think that chocolate had been
(01:10):
sitting wherever it was sitting before somebody finally got to it?
Because it was never and I just looked back on it. Go.
There was probably a lot of candy and stuff we
took in his children that he looked back on and go.
Not a great idea, Hey, that used to be the
jam though, like they had a little bundle, you know,
they had the purple purple red like that used to
be the jail. And remember they had the chocolate one.
(01:32):
There was that lie that was passed around that said
if you if you got the Native American shooting the
star on the rapper, you got a free tutsie roll
pop when you took it in. I remember taking it
into some guy at a story looked at me like
I had five eyes and they had. They had us
so sold on proofs of purchases. I used to cut
(01:52):
out the bottom of the bar codes or whatever on
on my cereal to get to get free like action figures.
Do you remember you get so many proofs of purchases
you could go redeem them for for a free Action figure.
It was hard to do when you were eating the
bag cereal though, you know. But again here we go
(02:13):
hard had lunch pail. Some people are different though, you
guys know how in Pennsylvania, behind your gated communities, you
weren't really familiar with all that bag cereal stuff. Mean
streets out here, it's almost call it a stock ate.
Some of us grew up hard for I did it
I did not grow up. I'm lying. If I said
(02:36):
I did, I'm sorry. Straight out of Compton Nah North Hills,
baby cross township A can we bid farewell to one
of the great mysteries of the NFL offseason or the
NFL is close to off season. He executed, gosh, the
Denver Broncos coaching search that nobody could figure out, nobody
(03:00):
could pinpoint what exactly was going on. And I'm still
not sure I entirely get it. But yeah, no, it's not.
It's Sean Payton. Congratulations to the Denver Broncos. They've got
their guy. Sean Payton is gonna go ahead and take
the job. But this was after a trade was pulled
(03:21):
off between the Broncos and the Saints. So you've got
the Denver Broncos trading their first round pick, which is
never twenty nine overall second round pick, in exchange for
the rights to Sean Payton, who went ahead and signed
a five year deal with the team, and also a
third rounder in So Sean Payton is going to go
(03:42):
ahead and take the job, and he gets the task
of trying to tell Russell Wilson, Yeah, that office is
gonna go all right, we're gonna put some stuff in there,
and and you can go on and move down, as
Brady pointed out, to the mail room or the boiler room,
moving forward and figure it out there next to a
stack of paper and some staplers that have been left
over for twenty years. So that's that. Let's get into
(04:05):
the details of why this took so long, right. The
reports are that it was the trade component that drugged
this out. That the Saints obviously wanted to try to
get as much value for Sean Payton as they could, uh,
and and they did, but I think they were trying
to base it off of was it a bill parcels
trade jonas that I saw? Yeah, there was the parcels
(04:27):
because they and they gave a list of all the
other like comp trades that were out there. And the
last time something like this had been pulled off it
was Herm Edwards between the Jets and the Chiefs, I think,
and it was for like a fourth round pick, but parcels.
I think Belichick might have been a one as well too.
But yeah, they had a list of all the different
(04:47):
trades that are involved racial and Gruden as well her words,
four frown, Automo, other guys first rounds racial man to
be that would be motivated we're trying to make here
is that the trade. The trade portion of this is
what made it take longer than what I think a
(05:07):
lot of us, you know, fought how this process would work.
That alongside of the fact that you know, look, if
the Broncos can't get a trade done, and the only
way to pressure the Saints is to keep acting like
you're talking to other candidates, so well that's Tamiko Ryan's
or Jim Hobbaugh, Jim Harball, that they had to keep
playing that that hand and keep playing that that you know,
(05:29):
you know, poker's face out if you will to force
the Saints to eventually say, okay, like here's what we'll
agree to to get this done. And obviously, with the
what what the Broncos traded forward to get Russell Wilson
and gave away to the Seattle Seahawks, it's not like
they have a ton of a ton of draft capital left.
So they've got their coach, hopefully, they've got their quarterback,
(05:50):
and they've got a roster that they must, you know,
think they can win with right now with not having
many high draft picks, that would be good in the
back end of the draft, as well as obviously utilizing
the South recap. It's gonna be an interesting journey to
watch this. I thought that they were a player away
from being a a Super Bowl contender this past year.
(06:14):
I think they took steps back. Um when you know
it was a Chubb that they lost in in free
agency or to a trade traded into Miami. Yeah, I mean,
I just I think some of the main guys, you know,
I just think that they might have lost the essence
of what they had built. I mean, their defense was
stout all year and and did some really fine things
(06:37):
that they do have a lot of talent still on
offensive side of the ball. I mean, I guess if
you really look at it, there is the opportunity for
them to have success. They're gonna have to find a
running game, I would assume. I mean, you know, Sean
Payton has historically known to have a dynamic running back,
(06:58):
uh in his backfield. Um, you know, there's there's going
to be the whole conversation of what will the relationship
be between him and Russ and and how that will
will play out and pan out. Will Russell be be
open hearted, open minded to what uh, Sean Payton wants
(07:18):
to come in and do, there's gonna always be that
that idea. So I would say this, there probably are
less than a handful of coaches that would be able
to come in and most likely navigate what they're going
to have to do um to have success in Denver
(07:39):
considering you know, maybe it's not as bad as it
may have appeared to be. Maybe it was just a
lack of understanding, a lack of experience, a lack of
knowledge that played out this past season and why it
looks so bad. Um, But I would say on that
that short list of people that would be able to
navigate it, Sean Payton, Sirt, and Lee fits the bill
(08:01):
on a guy that can come in and actually have
a an impact on on this team fairly quickly. It
took a long time to get to this point. But
if you were looking at candidates that were on the market,
and I think there was some stuff out there, um.
I think Mike Cliss, who covers the Broncos is covering
him for a long time, pointed out that they're two
top candidates were Jim Harbon Sean Payton, that those were
(08:25):
the two guys that they had targeted, and you did
end up getting one of them. I mean, you got
you ended up getting Sean Payton. So although the the
you know, the path they took to get here was
a bunch of side roads and a bunch of back
alleys and and weird reports and weird stories out there,
they do end up getting their guy. And I actually,
I mean I think it puts them in a better
position than they would have been, you know, as currently stated,
(08:48):
with all the other rumors and and potential candidates that
were out there. At least now you've got somebody who
commands a respect of Russell Wilson, like we've talked about,
and and now he's the guy who's got to take
over and try and fix whatever the hell went wrong
last year. I just I find it hard to believe
that Russell Wilson in one season turned to that. I
(09:10):
I find it hard to believe that he can't get
back to some sort of you know, Pro Bowl slash
m v P ish type form. And a guy who's
you know, one of the top ten quarterbacks in the NFL,
you know, especially in a division where you absolutely needed
so to me, it feels like it's gonna work it
costs him a lot, but and then in the end
they end up getting their guy. So I mean, you
gotta feel like Sean Payton's one of those guys next
(09:33):
to like a Kyle Shanahan and whatever the offensive mind
you were throwing this category, but you have to think that,
you know, he's one of those offensive minds you look
at and say, if he can't get this guy to
play his best football, no one can. That Is that
fair to say that it's an indictment on Russ if
he doesn't have a good year next year? Yes, all
(09:53):
as on me, as Tupac would saying, you know what
else that that I would say, yeah, no doubt I would.
So add to this in terms of with Sean Payton,
you gotta believe he has that as ammunition if if
need be, like, look for us, you you you did it,
You did it your way last year, Like let me
let me do what I need to do so that
(10:16):
you don't ruin a Hall of Fame career. Let me
let me do what I need to do so that
we can go get a championship and redeem everything that
you know you want to be in. Like you Sean
Payton will definitely be able to leverage and hold that
in his hip pocket that you you were less than
(10:36):
bad this year, less than bad, Like that's and that's
saying a whole lot bad. You trie trifling. My homeboy
shot out to my bad Ricardo. Uh, he always calls
when somebody does something that that's less than exemplary. Um trifling. Yeah,
(10:57):
he was trifling. Russell Wilson was trying rifling this year. Yeah.
It's a it's a tough division. Though. You're not in
the NFC South anymore, so you got huh. So, yeah,
the Saints get or the and and the North. And look,
the Saints get back in the first round. They didn't
have a first round pick, so the Saints get back
in the first round. So that's good for them. And
(11:18):
now and now, I mean they look, you know, all
they gotta do is find a quarterback. And then once
they figure that out and decide whether or not they
want to roll back with the Andy Dalton Jamis Winston
platoon like they did last year, then now the Saints
are back up and running and and often in a
positive direction there. So that was one of the mysteries
of this past year for the Saints. Like I remember thinking,
(11:41):
like I'm excited to see what Jamis can do. You know,
he's he's got this opportunity. He gets hurt and then
Dalton goes in and then Don't just stays in like
it was like they never never want to come back
to Jamison and he and something like Dalton played that well. No,
that's what I'm like, I don't understand what's happening here,
Like you should we give Jamis an opportunity? All right? Yeah,
(12:01):
I know don't played well and I had a good
camp and played ball in preseason, I guess, But yeah,
it's unfortunate. What do you think I haven't seen the
contract details for Sean Payton? What do you think we're
looking at? You think it's anywhere close to the five
million that he was got to be? We'll never know,
but it's gotta be t funny. We won't know. Why
can't we get that information? It's kind of interesting. We
(12:23):
can ask Albert Breer tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure that,
I mean, it's gonna be word about. It's very funny.
Think they don't disclose that stuff. Very curious players s
b all out there right there for you. There it is.
How much escalators, bonuses, this, that, another playing video. People
telling you what you made. Sometimes you ain't lying them
(12:45):
coaches though they I mean, we know what broadcasters make,
now do we? Yeah, we put it out there. Well
we know, we know Tony Romo makes seventeen eighteen million
dollars a year. If that's what we know, because his
agent may just sure to make it. Let everyone know.
I will say this too. I think if he wasn't
making that, let's say he was making a tenth of that,
you would I don't think people would be as critical
(13:09):
of him. I don't even pay attention to people's paychex
will not watch him. I just do I Do I
feel good watching it? Or do I not? I love
turn the music on when Tony Romo is on on
the games on the call. But okay, real out too,
by the way, and I'm not disagreeing with that, Like,
I think there's an element of hey, if they got
here is a good job. It does a good job.
(13:30):
But once you find out what that guy's making, and
then you know you're going way the second he makes
how much, you're like, yeah, yeah, he's awful. Like it
Actually it changes the reaction a bit. Yeah, it's been
a ready fallout for him. It's been a little rough
for him. It hasn't been an apology though now. And
I feel that way about Jonas. He's working. What do
you mean, I mean, Berna, we're gonna take this. LaVar
(13:56):
is attacking Tony Romo and me no queues attacking Tony Romo.
I'm attacking you, Okay, I mean We're gonna take this.
I mean this is this is ridiculous. Said that Tony
Romo stink. You know, let's say that he choose gravel
for for breakfast with with hot water, and and Jonas
(14:17):
I said, you stink because you make too much money. Yeah,
that's what we said. Can we go back to LaVar
basically giving the worst dis any sort of color analysts
could get is when you're on TV, I turn music.
I'm just saying that's just disrespectfules. You wanna make a
(14:39):
color analyst cry before they like get ready to go
and broadcast the game. Say that to you, like saying, hey, man,
have a great game, really look forward to watching. I'm
gonna turn music on while the game. Yeah it's h
that's unfortunate, but you know what a listen everybody has
a rough year. Maybe he's the broadcasting equivalent to Russell Wilson.
(15:00):
And now he comes back around next year. Who did
I bringing into coach him? Yeah? Who's gonna coach him up? Yeah?
Who's who's produce their Sam Potash? We want to send
Potash on that Brady, see if he can get that
done or what See if he was an he's got
anything going on, maybe he can fix that problem. He
will go with that, you know, you know, you know,
(15:21):
dropping some knowledge. You're gonna ask yourself to like, is
that a problem you can't fix? You know? Yeah? I
mean the thing is is the product is good enough
where you'll turn the music on and watch the game.
You won't not watch the game. You know. There's some
dudes that are so trash you don't even watch the show,
like all because Phil Sims kind of fart in the booth,
(15:41):
Like that's what this is about. Jim Nances. I mean,
Jim Nance is so frustrated. He's regretting that. Now. I
bet you you take that fart now you know he
put Furthermore, I type of person I feel like fart
around people. I think it's so disrespectful. That's why when
Lee does it. I'm like, it grosses me out. If
(16:03):
you can't hold it, then go go outside, go to bathroom.
What if you couldn't make it, I don't know, Hey, LaVar,
swallow it, then figure it out. It's just so disrespectful,
really is. I had a co worker tell me the
other day. She walked in the office. She's like, the
(16:26):
worst thing ever happened to this morning, that could happen.
She's like, I went down in my gym early. I'm
on the treadmill. I take my headphones off. This guy
has his headphones on. He's running the treadmill next to me.
He doesn't realize and he absolutely blows up the entire place.
It's just those two in there, and she's like, I
wanted to die. She's like it was so bad and
(16:47):
it was like kind of musty in there, and it
was just not go away taste it. The whole thing's
a smell like that. Why do why do? Yeah? I know,
but I just can recall growing up. Why smell like that?
They're not clean? Yeah? You know what else smelt like that?
Kindergarten rooms. Kindergarten rooms. Yeah, I hate to smell of
(17:11):
a kindergarten kindergarten. Basically, it's a giant diaper in there now.
But it also can I can I just defend though
these people that are, you know, cutting it and not
really having any regard for people around them, Well, let
me just defend him. No, it's not me as far
on the fart rankings on this show, in this studio,
dead Last, dead Last can't be dead Last because I've
(17:35):
never done it around you. There you go, okay, well,
here's so tied for last. No you're not tied. No,
what do you mean? You're not totally innocent. But the
point is, let me just defend people out there that
are looking that are feeling guilty listening to this right now,
Like your point, somebody's farting right now as they're listening.
I think people got way too used, got way too
(17:56):
used to wearing masks, and then have lost all sense
of their surroundings and now are starting to realize, oh,
those days are over. I need to get back on track,
and I can't just let it fly, and I actually
have to think about people. I will say it is
a little bit more pleasant on flights anymore, because for
(18:18):
a moment there you pull your mask down and it
was mass destruction of your no showering. People weren't putting
on deodorant. It was just that recycled air was horrible, horrible.
Let me give you a piece of ice. Sorry, I
just just hold it in, all right, Wait till you're
in a private space and go buy a packet coum. Yes,
(18:39):
how many people do you think realized? Oh so I
do have platosis. I'm giving up on trying to get
people to brush their teeth. Go buy a packet coum.
You know what, They still have denial, probably sitting there
like it's the mask. I'll throw this one out and
get a new one. Oh, you know, give it two
minutes and you'll realize that, Well, it's the mask again, right, yeah,
better get disposable. What's system? It's a disposable lips, you
(19:02):
know what it's this, it's this brand of mass. Yeah,
it's a great point. It doesn't work well with my breath.
And that's that is the recap of the hiring of
Sean Payton by the Denver Broncos. 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 e sting three am Pacific on Fox
(19:23):
Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. So we
were talking about this, sir, I just wanted to ask
you as a question. I don't like vanilla and centamon spice.
By the way, is that the coffee flavor? Yeah, I
don't like It's kind of racist. Great point. Again, that's
a great point. Can't say anything around here. I mean,
I'm just talking about my creamer, all right. I don't
(19:45):
like it. Sentiment and vanilla mix, I don't. I just don't.
I don't like it. I mean, I don't like the
mix of it' that's horrible, sounds horrible, definitely does. I'm sorry.
Racists like you should be calling games for CBS. Didn't
even know that cinnamon was a race, you know, didn't
was one either, you know or whatever. But at Canello,
Canello centnamon right, Yeah, I'm talking about Espaniel there. I mean,
(20:10):
but that's his name, you know, that's Canello's name. Yeah, Alvarez, Yeah,
Canello boxer, Yeah, from Jalisco. He's Mexican. Yeah, it definitely is. Yeah.
I've seen him fight, Yeah, I saw him fight. Uh,
Floyd Mayweather Junior it's a good fighter. It Floyd was
smart about that. He fought him before he uh got better.
(20:31):
Don't do that, It's true. Don't do that. I'm not.
I mean, he was probably the best dude to to
fight him. Nobody else was going to have a chance
to beat him. That was the only one. Yeah, I
don't know. And he does pack you for feed Stop
that stop, definitely stop. His fights were born by the way. Oh,
they mean because he's a boxer. I mean, I love
(20:53):
it like boxing. I love Floyd Mayweather, but you know
that he's a boxer. Still haven't got any he's on.
The fight was a boxer's definitely. Mike Tyson was a fighter.
There's a difference. His style was fighting Packy. I was
more exciting than Mayweather, Okay, and then he got his
ass knocked out a few times because of that excitement,
got his chin in the way of a few few
But then you know what, came back. I got knocked out,
(21:18):
now I didn't never even got knocked down again. Yeah,
came back and fought well, yeah whatever did what's his record?
A lot to a little? Why you hating on Packy?
Y'all hating on Floyd? Floyd hating out a Floyd, don't
hate on TV. You know what TV? The best ever?
(21:40):
Thank you? Yeah? I know you knew it. Yeah, that's
what that's I think? Are we really calling him the
best ever? I mean he calls himself the best ever?
I mean I was gonna ask you, like when you
this is like child was lit beat his as? Sugar
made him quit? Oh that was the ray that was
(22:01):
Dan Roberto Duran Savas was a good fighter, but didn't
didn't for know, Whittaker beat him? Did sweet can beat him? Okay?
All right, I'm just saying the whole history of boxing
like that all of a sudden. I mean he I mean,
there's only there's only one other fighter that would undefeated.
What who was that? Uh? Was that Rocky Massiana? Who
(22:21):
wasn't that that? Whatever? I mean, yeah, let's let's relax on.
I mean the man went undefeated as a pro like
that's yeah, lets him He also he was also very
crafty about you know what fighter wasn't crafty. I'll tell
you one guy that that you should be paying attention
to right now. Craft Vante Davis didn't have a great
(22:43):
output in his fights, but who he can crash it? Yeah,
when when he looked as laid down, dropped that hammer.
He drops that hammer on you. Thomas was siming. I
didn't know him one time, so okay, nice, I mean
Julio was. He was a beast. Now that's a lot
of fights, know, yeah, I dig it, and some wasn't
as good as did I ever tell you the story?
(23:07):
So Toom's Abikowski before a senior year, he goes and
fights in Madison Square gardens. So we all road trip
out to New York City and we go on for
the fight, and uh, we we're pretty pretty tuned up,
all legal at that point when we had drank a
little bit. But we got there in New York City,
by the way, What a great city. I love New York.
(23:28):
All right, so we go down in this tunnel, right,
we're like outside locker room, you know, getting Zimbi all
hyped up, the whole whole group of us and wholi
Seesar Chavez his son's fighting, Junior's fighting. So we see
Senior and one of our defensive linemen. I'll never forget this.
Trevor Laws played d tackle for US, played in the NFL.
(23:50):
He uh, he was like, hey punched me in the stomach.
So this is what seventeen years eighteen year years ago,
how old would have chop? Has Senior been that? But
put in all seriousness like he's one of the sixties
at that point, where probably okay. So he's like, hey
(24:14):
punched me in the stomach, and like there is a
little bit of a language barrier, but we kind of
figured out. He's like no, no, no, no, no, no,
I can't do that. So he goes he takes his
hand instead of making a fist, he just puts his
hand flat kind of like he's giving you a high five,
and points to the tip of his fingers and so
he's just gonna quickly kind of give my little jab
to the gut with his finger like that. And so
(24:36):
Trevor braces himself and he kind of turns goes it
kind of gives a little one to like and at
first Trevors like oh, and he like like it wasn't
that bad. Then he dropped to the floor and he
was down there rolling like he had knocked the wing
completely out of him with the tip of his fingers.
I've never seen like Trevors a big dude. He's just
(24:57):
a three h pounds. I've never seen a dude drop
that fast like that, just from the tip of a
man's fingers. It just do they train their entire life
and punch after punch after punch, and that's all they
do for hours upon hours. That's interesting that you guys
would bring that up because you know Tank is gonna
fight gar see it at some point. Yeah, they are.
(25:19):
And you know he's known for the whole punch challenge.
You know, you put the put the punching, punching uh
pad on and then he punches you until you can't
take it anymore. Yeah. Yeah, so they both punch really hard. Well,
I'll believe it when I see it. That's boxing was
supposed to have, you know, great fights all the time.
And Earl Spence is supposed to fight happening. Who was it?
(25:43):
Who was it again? Crawford Crawford, Spence Crawford, And they're
saying that Crawford won't won't make it hiss, That won't
make it happen. Everybody says, I would love to see
that fight man that that. I don't know which one
I would rather see more, but I would love to
see Crawford and Spence. That would be nice. I just
want HBO back. That's all I want. Now, who do
(26:05):
you want those broadcasts? I mean you name it. I mean,
I don't want the old crew back. I want I want,
I want Lampley by Quinn. I want the whole crew. Right.
Put put Roy and you know, because we don't have
a manual anymore, So put Roy up in there and
let him like also a big Larry Merchant fan, Larry merchants? Alright,
(26:30):
is cadence after the fight you have Larry Merchant? Brady,
did you to the restroom? Expect to get that soon up?
Before the fight? You just decided to get blasted early on.
(26:53):
He irritated so many fighters bulls and he loved it.
Who was the guy who was gonna get a fight there, Floyd? Yeah,
maybe that's why I even gonna be honest. That work
no more. That's why I even gonna be on this step.
Work no more. Man at the best. I'm going to
(27:14):
South time so good. Yeah, those are the good old days,
but unfortunately it's all gone now. Um. I also, can
I say this, we're talking about the Pro Bowl and
what has happened to the Pro Bowl and talking boxing
was way more interesting. Okay, but here's the best part
of the Pro Bowl. How about the fact that Josh
(27:35):
Allen is not partaking in the Pro Bowl because he's
got his elbow issue, but he is going to be
partaking in the Pebble Beach Pro Am this week. Canny
can't play in the Pro Bowl because of his elbow,
but he's gonna go to the golf tournament in Pebble Beach.
Why don't we keep trying to do this Pro Bowl game?
Why why can't the NFL? I mean, here's the reality is.
(27:59):
I'm sure once we go to eighteen regular season games
that it's like that, you know, it eats into that
week and maybe we only need one week lead up
the Super Bowl. Maybe not. Maybe logistically you've got to
have two weeks for the teams, for their families, all
that to make plans to be there. But I don't know.
In today's age, I think it's it's probably easy to
get something's done in a week's time golf tournament. For
(28:23):
the Pro bowld to do anything other than what they're doing,
I mean, seriously, do anything like stop. There's no reason
to put players at risk. Let them go out in
golf if they want to figure it out, like do
do a whole match type things like bowling, bowling, teams
of bowling. You know, there you go. It could be
like a whole like Olympics, other sports like pediatric canc Yeah,
(28:47):
they would like a real giveback. Makes the NFL like
we just gave you all games beer Paul Roger. So
Roger Goodell changed the Pro Bowl and put it the
week before the Super Bowl because his his logic back
then was, I don't like the idea of the last
game of the year being an exhibition game. But the
(29:09):
problem is you're now, all of a sudden, more guys
don't want to partake, and and with the move and
all that stuff. So you've got either guys that can't
play because they're in the Super Bowl, and and look
how many Philadelphia Eagles you know, are Pro Bowlers that
are in the Super Bowl they can't participate, And then
Kansas City Chiefs as well. And then it's either that
(29:31):
or guys are looking at it going I just finished
the season. I'm not interested. It seemed like when it
was after the Super Bowl you had more players that
wanted to play. Now, Troy Aikman left during the middle
of the game because he was going on vacation somewhere,
which is just funny. But I feel like more players
would participate if it went back to being after the
Super Bowl as opposed to the week before. Yeah, but
(29:53):
it's Lav's point though. You gotta go back to Hawaii,
I guess. Make it. Make it a vacation. Yeah, you
gotta make it a vacation. Make it an accomplishment, you know.
I just but here's the problem is the money has
gotten so big nowadays. I don't think you can, like
like the I'm not sure you can make it big enough.
(30:16):
It's almost like talking to a college football player who's
not playing in the playoff and in an exhibition game.
I mean seriously, Like you can have a one game
insurance policy to protect you if you get injured. Is
that what you're essentially gonna do for the Pro Bowl?
Like you're gonna eat into the bonus you're getting from
being in the Pro Bowl, and you're gonna eat into
(30:38):
that by have to buy insurance policy just to protect
you in the event you get hurt. I mean, wouldn't
they have that? Wouldn't that be under your insurance policy
to begin with? I mean I always thought that you
have insurance policy yeah. I mean if you have one,
if you in the league and you're making Pro Bowls
and ain't got an insurance policy, you need call me.
Y'all need to call me. But I'll say this, thes
(31:00):
are is the purse is concerned. I mean, I think
it was like eighteen to twenty thousand that you would
get for participating, which a lot of people said that,
you know, alre it pays for the trip. And and
when I say pay for the trip, it's like you
bring your teammates, you bring family members, stuff like that,
and it like gets to like that type of number,
like super quick. But then if you win, you get
(31:20):
you get the same amount. So it's like kind of
like you were incentivized to win because you get another
eighteen or another twenty if you won the game. Why
wouldn't the league just pay for every for people's family
to go like a certain number of people, but they
didn't all the money they got. You got paid to
come to play in the game, and generally that was
used to you know, fly everybody in and put them
(31:42):
up and take care of Now, granted, if you're one
of those type of families where you don't need you're
you know, which I think you should do it anyway.
But I thought the coolest thing about the Pro Bowl
when I was there was bringing your teammates, you know,
like I didn't do it, but a lot of guys
didn't do it. But you know, certain teams did it.
Like the Steelers. They always had a linebacker in the
(32:02):
game always, and if one made it, they were all there.
Didn't you fly Dan Snyder in? No? I didn't. I
didn't know he didn't I flew I. No. No, I
never flew any teammates in either, you know, not for
any other linebackers. I should have. It's a regret I
didn't really know. You know, you you make the Pro
Bowls like you're happy about making it. But I didn't
(32:25):
know that that was. And I think it might have
been my second or my third year, which would have
been my last year going. Um, that was when I
realized that that's what the Steelers were doing, is that
the linebackers would fly the other linebackers and so if
two made it, they split the costs and the whole
linebacking corps would be there. You know, if one made it,
(32:45):
the whole entire linebacking corps would be there. And I
thought that was cool because they'd be on the beach. Like.
The one thing we did was we would go to
why Ki Ki and we sit on the beach. We
just sit like like we were in front of we'd
be in front of a restaurant, we'd be eating food
when we sit on the main strip of where people
like will walk like a strand you know what I mean.
Like it was pretty cool. Man, I ain't gonna lie
I was to look at it. It was it was.
(33:09):
It was a movie. I'll tell you that. That's a Yeah,
that's a sunglass trips for married men out there, dark
sunglasses and nobody sees nothing about Man. I was never
married when I was at the Pro Bowl, So just
keep that in mind. Yeah, all the unmarried people that
were at the Pro Bowl that we're participating, and then
some that even weren't participating in the Pro Bowl. Uh,
(33:30):
let's just say that they had a really good time enjoying. Uh, Hawaii,
it's a hard it's a hard one. It's a hard ticket.
It's a hard ticket to it to Hawaiian that can
help us out with that. Yeah, absolutely, it is two
pros and a cup of Joe. Here on Fox Sports
Radio so we are going to hear from Petros. Papa
acis here coming up, coming up here shortly. But we
(33:52):
do have some breaking news out of the world of
football that we are going to get to right now though,
So for that we turn it over to Eddie Garcia
breaking news from Fox Sports. Well we've heard this dudes before, um,
but perhaps this one is going to stick. According to
(34:15):
Adam Schufter, Tom Brady is announcing his retirement from the NFL. Wow,
I'll believe it when I see I'll believe it when
day one of training camp starts and he's not there. Now.
He did release a video of this, so hopefully we
can get that and uh enrolled him will have it
when we come back from break. But yeah, Tom Brady
calling it a career there. But I think the difference
(34:38):
this time is some people thought like the whole retirement
and it was like a way of finagling himself out
of his contract or like allowing him to go somewhere else.
Potentially in the past, he's a free agent. You know,
there's nothing that stops so if he wants to go
play somewhere else, to go play somewhere else. So look,
he's been through a lot this past year, which we
(34:58):
also have been through a lot personally. Uh, And he's
had the greatest career that I think. I'll just go
on records saying to me, it's maybe the greatest care
of a professional athlete we've ever seen, at least of
the major sports. A brilliant career. Regardless of where people
fall on, that is one of the most brilliant careers ever.
(35:19):
And the thing man was a six round pick. Yeah,
what he was able to do. That was my draft.
Then it turned into his draft. That's his draft, all right,
So we do have, So we do have. This was
Tom Brady via social media, making his decision and his
announcement just a few moments ago. Good morning, guys. I'll
(35:41):
get to the point right away. I'm retiring for good.
I know the process, UH was a pretty big deal
last time. So when I woke up this morning, I
figured I just pressed record and let you guys know first,
so I won't be long winded. You only get one
super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year.
(36:04):
So really, thank you, guys so much, to every single
one of you for supporting me, my family, my friends,
my teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever. There's
too many. Um, thank you guys for allowing me to
live my absolute dream. I wouldn't change the thing. I
(36:29):
love you all. Wow, man, my error is gone. It's done.
And he was the last of the Mohicans for us.
You know, look, you see I made that about two thousand. No,
you kind of made it about hell. Yeah, that's the
only greatness that I ever I ever got to you know.
(36:50):
So yeah, you know who else is weeping right now?
Mark Davis, because now I's got to go back and
apologize to Derek Carr and say, way can we turn
you back? And we thought somebody was going to be available.
So yeah, there it is. Tom Brady, forty five years old. Serious,
he does sound like he's not he's he's done. He's
not joking. He's done. Now he comes to be part
(37:11):
of the Fox family. How about that's just gonna say.
The timing of this is interesting to given that the
super Bowl now is less than two weeks away, and
Sean Payne leaves, Tom Brady enters that that could be up.
You know that that could be subject to change too,
though you know, who knows if he doesn't want to
take a year off before he wants to jump into that,
(37:31):
or maybe really get a sense of if it's something
he wants to do. You know, maybe he wants to
be around his family and kids more and and actually
kind of you know, developed that portion of his life,
which obviously in his personal life has changed. God twenty
three seasons. Man, somebody just celebrated their twenty first birthday
(37:51):
in a bar and they're throwing up in some trash
can right now. They weren't even born when he started
his NFL career. What a wild run. Think about this too.
It though, you're also going to get at some point
in the future someone who will not be able to
comprehend the greatness. And it's crazy, Like it's kind of
sad too for that person to understand that there was
(38:13):
a point in time. We're basically you just banked on
seeing the Patriots at Tom Brady in the n f
C Championship Game and playing in the Super Bowl every
other year, and you like banked on if it was
a two minute drive, tom Brady leading them for a
two minute drive to win it, Like that's what that's
what you banked on, Like you watched it happen so
many times that you're like, I've seen this story again,
(38:35):
and yet through his thirties into his forties, he kept
doing it. Like I don't know that anyone has played
it as high of a level at his age that
he was. He had three Hall of Fame careers. Yeah,
but but but but it's not even just that, like
that's that's that we've we've talked about that. Did he
(38:55):
lead the league in attempts and completions this year at
forty five forty six this year? It's that like that
blows my mind, Like if you look at what Lebron
is doing, it's incredible as far as like the NBA standards,
playing at that high of level. Still at this point,
he's not in his forties. Yeah, he's not even his forties.
I mean you could have made like Tom Brady was
(39:15):
getting m VP votes last year and could have should
have won. Yeah, probably, Yeah, you probably could have made
the case he showed Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, That's what blows
my mind is like he's still going out playing at
a really high level. Yeah run you mentioned to Yeah,
we were in the same draft. Click we heard that,
by the way, So yeah, just the breaking news here.
(39:38):
Tom Brady Tom Brady is announced he is retiring uh
forty five years old, his twenty third season in the NFL,

Right now, we turn it over to the man himself, Petros.
Papa gets the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the Blowtorch a M five
seventy l a Sports Fox college football analyst at the
Old p on Twitter. Petros, Sorry, I know we're late.
We don't have a whole lot of time this week.
(40:46):
But the big news. I'm sure you're pretty distraught about
the retirement of Tom Brady. I don't know, uh, not
really distraught, but I guess he's not going to play
for the Raiders, yeah, or anyone else for that matter.
(41:07):
So is he going to show up on the Fox
NFL pregame show for the Super Bowl? We thought you
might have that. Come on, you come on. Brady's higher
up than me. He's a studio guy. Yeah, private jet,
our studio guys considered more important than game guys. Yeah,
that studio show. Yes, the big yeah is untouchable at Fox. Well, look,
(41:34):
you gotta have somebody sit there and call the game.
But look, for broadcasters, radio is one thing. People are lonely.
But when there's a game on TV, I gotta I
gotta break it to people. Most people just watch a
game on mute. I mean Romo screaming into the wind,
you know. I mean most people watch a game at
(41:55):
a bar with the TV on mute and the director
tells you what's going on, which is why the pictures
and the cameras are so important. The cool thing about
a game on TV is the game on TV, not
the guy talking so the people's face that you see
before and after the game and between the game and
(42:18):
all day, between all the games over and over again,
talking about the same stuff. Those people are quite important,
and that is Brady Quinn. You know that Gus Johnson
would totally fight you over what you just said. Oh
I know Gus well, and I've look I I'm a broadcaster.
I just but we have a tendency to take ourselves
(42:41):
way too seriously. And the truth is, the most important
people on a football game and the director and the
producer and the tape guys and the people that operate
the cameras, and in fact, those are the people that
are most involved in all that rules crap that everybody's
been talking about the last couple of days. I mean,
everybody seems to think the NFL has their own cameras
(43:03):
out there. No, everybody who's ever used any replay on
any game in college or the pros is looking at
our cameras, the TV cameras, the people that they're in
a partnership with. So it's an interesting conversation that most
people don't understand. But anyway, yes, I'm very happy for
Tom Brady that he seems to be at piece this time.
(43:25):
I mean Tom Brady was playing college football when I
was playing college football and LaVar. So that's uh, I'm forty.
I'm a little older. I think I'm forty five, and
I thought I was older than you. Actually know, you
just got done playing faster than we're. We're the same
age though, Okay, So uh, i'll be forty five. Yeah,
(43:48):
I'll be forty six in June. So I mean, happy birthday, Petrost.
You're you're still a Gemini. You're a Gemini. I am
a Gemini. I'm I'm I'm a cancer. Alright, yeah, all right,
thanks guys. All right. Tom Brady's best friend in college
(44:12):
was the first baseman from his high school baseball team,
a guy named Bill Peevee who they played together at
Sarah High. And Bill Peevey was our first baseman at
USC and so Brady would come and visit when he
was in college. And I gotta tell you, guys, he
was a huge dork and he still is, you know. Uh,
(44:36):
he's just a legendary dork. Uh, a goofy guy and
with a concave chest. And it's amazing that he became
the most consistent and we're talking about a team sport,
and it takes a whole It takes a whole village
of people, honestly to create a football team and to
(45:00):
put the product on the field. But I mean, everybody's
gonna be using all the all the words for the
next forty eight hours. But consistency and greatness and just
the ability to put it together for that many years,
I don't think we'll see again. Pretty damn remarkable, it
(45:21):
really is. But but what's as great as accomplishment in
your mind? I mean, you just mentioned just being such
a dork a ton cave chest. Is it overcoming the
concave chess as a quarterback in your mind? I don't know.
I guess it would just be having the fire to
compete at that level and to prepare at that level
for year in, year in and year out, firing you. Yeah,
(45:44):
in maybe every day I feel the fire, maybe to
tell radio stories, but not to get hit in the
face by Gilbert Brown whoever the hell was playing when
he started, you know, I mean, it's pretty it's it's
pretty amazing. And the fact that he's done it the
whole time in a sport with the most hardcore, mean,
(46:09):
tough edged people and violent people, some of them in
all of the world of athletics. It's hard to imagine
anybody being the way football players in the NFL are.
And here's this goofy guy from a Catholic school and
in northern California with a nice family structure and all
that and a great smile, and he dominated all of
(46:32):
it for for twenty plus years, which is just stupid.
You know how much he likes football, Petros, he gave
up his marriage for an eight nine season. Now is
his ex is riding horses with a Brazilian JSU guy
in Costa Rica, and he's like, I wouldn't change a thing.
It's like, all right, Tom, okay. My favorite story about
(46:57):
Tom Brady was from a guy that played with him
a New England and it was around the time the
that what was that song by Little John that was
out and stand man no uh turned down for what
remember that? Yeah? Uh? And like he didn't know the
lyrics right like and like uh uh, like the music
(47:21):
cut out in practice and all of a sudden you
hear Brady's like goofy voice yelling turned down the what
what's wrong with this guy? You know? And there's like
that video of him with the with the camera on
his face at the YouTube concert going Hello, Hello, hold
(47:43):
through the place called Bird and Go, and it's just
like God, this guy is a tool. But he really
put it together for a long I mean he really
Peyton Manning was just as good as a quarterback, right,
but he couldn't play for as long as Tom Brady
couldn't get it out as quickly. He couldn't be excellent
for that many years. You know, your body will betray you,
(48:05):
your your mind will betray you, your your will, I
mean that stuff will all go away, And for him
it stayed in there for a long time. Turned down
for what ye turned down for? It is two pros
and a cup of Joe here Fox Port Trade. But
what Petros papadgets. You can get him on Twitter at
(48:25):
the Old PU. He is the co host of the
Petros and Money show, which you can hear on What's
that place called Brady? Where you can find that show?
What's it's called something doing today? Okay, we don't have
to do it every time. You don't like being a puppet?
Do you would Don Martins say about that? What would
you say? You came back? Really listen to commercial for
(48:46):
twelve minute. Uh Petros will do it again next week.
We'll have more time, we promise. I love the energy, guys.
I love it though. I mean breaking news, breaking news
and big events. That's what this business is all. That's
way too good man, Pat Shross, We love you man, alright, well,
