Speaker 1 (00:00):

(00:45):
But new go Brady, It doesn't come in like que
song though, I want to change my song again. What
do you mean? I'm gonna keep looking for You want
me just to give you a list of songs. I
just keep looking for. Well. I mean, that's big pun,
I mean that's a dope song, but it just doesn't
hit like that doesn't have to beat? Yeah, I don't.
I haven't. I haven't found the one that comes in
(01:05):
the way that I like it to come in. I
know you need it to have like a good riff
off the top, I get it. Yeah, man, Jonas isn't
even close Jonas State. Yeah, yours isn't even he does
it to be different. Now, that's what it does, you know.
Miyan brings it brings that thunder, brings that heat. Yeah,
until we need get you jacked up. We don't need
(01:26):
any more thunder, we need all heat. Yeah. Yeah, that's
a great point. I'm so tired of being cold. You
hear me. It's not that cold out hey weather. I
need more heat. Where's the space here? Less thunder? I
need like natural heat. Oh, I got you know, I
need our I need our temperatures to change the climate. Yeah, yeah,
(01:47):
I feel I'm tired of seeing all of this trash weather, yeah, rain, snow,
So I got here on the main streets, Brady. Until
we deal with here in California, yeah you know. Yeah,
I'm sure all those listenings feel really bad for you
guys living in southern California. Yeah, man, I mean it
should be relatable because we're having bad weather and and
(02:10):
for what it's worth, we pay the taxes to be
able to live in the type of temperature and climate
that brought us here. Oh yeah, you can't realize there's
other people who pay taxes high taxes and live in
other places they chose that. I chose to live here
and pay my taxes for the sun. They said, you
(02:30):
pay taxes for the sunlight out here. I'm not getting
that sun. I want my I want a refund or
I want the sun. Either one. Either way, I like
a variety. Give me a little bit of crappy way there.
We're gonna get plenty of sun later on, and then
everybody's going to complain when it's one hundred eight degrees
out and we're sweating our balls. New Yeah, look, it
(02:51):
makes you appreciate the nice days, right, Yeah, Now that's
a great point. No, I don't want to do it.
It's a great point. My knees. I've been upright, I've
been feeling good. The minute the weather change, my body
just fell apart. That's what I was running from. I
ran from the weather that made me feel really really bad,
and now I feel really really bad. I could go
(03:12):
back to Maryland and Pittsburgh, you know whatever. It's a
little odd that when the temperature drops that one knee
flares up, just the one. We've been doing this show
long enough, right, the other one that's the most banged
up one, that's the one that got the most needles
and cuts and incisions and cleanups and all that, and
(03:33):
blew my achilles tendant. That's the leg. So the left
leg is the one man. So is there a threshold?
Like what temperature does it get down to before? Buddy?
Remember me? I never paid attention to it, but it
definitely is. My left side goes bad as soon as
the weather change. I could tell you the weather as
soon as the suit's about to change, like you're telling me.
(03:55):
You're telling me for all the time we've spent watching
the Weather Channel, you really should be the one that's
I'm just saying, you could do a better job than
Stephanie Abrams talking about all the snow on those mountains.
I could not do a better job than moving Stephanie Abrams.
Is that the person that we're always watching that that
(04:16):
he's on there? Yeah? Yeah, Is that the one that? Yeah? Yeah, No,
I wouldn't do a better job, Yeah that one. Yeah, No,
I don't know, no way I wouldn't do a better job.
I could predict what I think the weather is going
to be something about it. But uh yeah, it's like
(04:37):
they say dogs can predict earthquakes. They start barking a
lot and freaking out. Usually there's an earthquake right after.
It's almost like your knee starts barking and you know
the cold weather's coming. Well, how would you know that
you don't have a dog? That's true, that's a good point.
Thanks for bringing that up. But if he was, if
he wasn't dead, he would be barking before an earthquake.
I think it was only a decade or more go.
(04:58):
I mean you can, you can go ahead and move
on if I don't think it's quite a decade. And
I'm trying to get over it, but Brady keeps reminding
me of the corpse I have for an animal and
a pet. Well, last week, you suppose we try to
dig him back up. I did, but I was you know,
I figured a if you're gonna here's the problem. Brady
knows I can't resist myself. So if he goes in
(05:21):
a dark place, I'm right there with him. I let
me go along with you, gladly, and let me take
it up a notch. And he knows all he does
is teaming up with that crap, and then I run
with it. Next thing, you know, you claimed your your
bull masts like sixty pounds more than the average size
(05:41):
of already a large that much bigger than I swear
to God, I showed LeVar the picture of he was.
He was bad. He was really overweight. It was not healthy.
So we had to put him one off muscle ways
more than fat. So if he was really overweight, it
still doesn't make he's gonna be sixty more. He was huge.
I'm I'm not this is I'm not making this up.
(06:02):
If I would have said you should put the fat
boss hold picture on Twitter male or female male, Yeah,
but Rety's right, that's like thirty it's like forty pounds.
Even if it was one hundred and sixty five pounds,
it's a big bust, like another thirty pounds on top
of that twenty pounds. Waited. He had medical issues. I
took him in, we put him on a scale. He
(06:23):
was one hundred and eighty pounds. This is what's one
hundred and eighties initially is one hundred and ninety. This
is what I would say. The first time I looked
at the dog, it looked like an English mastiff. That's
what it looked like to me. I think you might
be mixed up on thinking that it was a bull. Mastiff.
That's I think that that's where the disc of this is.
(06:45):
There's a great chance that Jonas did not know you
might it might have not have been a bull mastiff.
That actually might be the most might have been in
my logical scenario here is Jonas was actually aware of
the actual breed of his dog. I have his birth certificate.
That's how I know he's from Chili Coothee, Ohio. But
they might have told you that it was a bull mastiff.
It might have had more English in it than bull.
(07:08):
It looked to me when I saw Boss Hall, he
looked like an English mastiff. To me, that's what he
looked like. And you hurt me say it. First time
I looked at I was like, oh, it is the
English mash. He's a bull mastiff. I mean, listen, there's
an easy solution all this. You guys have done twenty three.
In me, it's how Brady found out. Hey, you black,
why are you coming at me? Hit the button? Man,
(07:31):
hit the But I say, I said, there's an easy
way to do this, We'll do it twenty three. In me,
if somebody could go to the hardware store, give me
like a post hole digger and some tools, I can
go dig him up. We'll lay him right here on
the table, and then we'll take his DNA tim and
that way. That way everybody will know that he's from
Chili cothe try and he's a bull mask. I'm just
(07:52):
trying to give everybody a win here. Okay, why can't
you embellish your weight problem, but I can't embellish hogsway problem.
I'm actually supported you, but you supporting you. But I
didn't say, did I sit here and say now the dog? Now? Now,
now you're telling me I don't know. I don't know
the heritage of the dog. I'm just saying they might
have They might like you. There's a possibility that there
(08:13):
could have been a mix there, or like a genetic
a DNA type of deal where it was crossed with
an English mastiff for something, thevars onto something. Look, English
mastiffs are way bigger. I mean they punds. Yeah, so
it makes way more sad. Look exactly the same. Similar.
(08:36):
This is how it went. He had medical issues. He
had his back hips were going out, he had a
blood disorder. They couldn't figure out anything to get him right,
so they put him on steroids to try and build strength,
and he ballooned literally ballooned up. He got him, he
got he got up to one hundred and eighty pounds,
and then when we were able to dial him back
(08:57):
down and get him on the right medicine and the
right the right food and all that stuff, then he
got down to a round one fifth And that was
just walking around. Wait afterwards about I'm on LaVar's theory.
All right, that's fine, you can be honest theory. He
looks like a bull mastiff, bro, I mean he looks
like an English mastiff. Okay. When I first saw him,
when you showed me to picture of him, I was like, oh,
he's an English mastiff. That's he looked like any Well, god,
(09:20):
well he just said you know what he is now?
He's a did master. Yeah, he's whichever one it is,
whether Bull or English. Just a further this, I'm looking
up English mastiffs for sailing Chila Coffee, Ohio, and I've
got some hits. There's a great chance you just got
sold the wrong breed. Unaway. I didn't get sold anything.
Do you want to know the backstory and how he
(09:40):
even got the dog? Okay, my sister's X was it
was a mover, and he drove trucks across the country
and he moved people, and he went to this place,
somebody's house and chilcoffee. That does not sound good. I
mean it's certainly it definitely it certainly. Yeah. I wasna say, yeah,
(10:03):
there's not some good, not on the awful direction, but
it certainly goes towards he was. So here's how this happened.
He was moving a family and he noticed the dog
and he said, oh, that's a really cool dog. And
they they it was a pure bread. They had a
bunch of these mastiffs and he said, that's a really
(10:25):
cool dog. And they said, oh yeah, he's so big though,
and he's hard to control, and et cetera. Et cetera.
Was really young, he was under a year old. And
then when he came back to get everything together, she
said to him, I know you liked this dog the
last time we were here. He's too big for us.
We're moving, just taking he brought He brought the dog
(10:46):
in his truck cross country. I walked into the room
in my parents house and he was there looking at me,
and they gave him to me because I had another
mastiff and a smaller mastiff who passed away. It was
not a bull mastive who passed away, who passed away,
and then this dog showed up and that was dog
(11:08):
and that's how he got here. And again now he's
dead and you guys want to tell me after the
fact what my dog was when it was my dog.
I mean, I'm gonna let you have it, Jonas, I'm
gonna let you have that because it was your dog. Yes, yeah,
I mean, you know, I'm with LaVar on this, but
there's nothing you said your story because you're telling me
(11:33):
like what the backstory the dog is when I'm when
I know the backstory story you got from a guy
who got it from a family. I mean he might
have some paperwork or something on it. I got the paperwork,
I have the birst or two gud I got everything,
you know. I mean you got the dog kind of
the way you got the dog. I mean, how you
know that the paperwork isn't a little off? What do
(11:54):
you think? What do you think it is a human
being dressed as a dog to bulls. That's the thing now,
I mean, if we're being honest and he came to
the right place, I got used for you, so that
is that is accepted in certain places. I'm just saying
the right one. I'm not an expert, but I do
know a little bit about dogs, and I know what
(12:15):
certain breeds look like because I'm I'm really into certain
breeds of dogs, and it's larger breeds. One of the
one of the families breeds that I'm into really deep
is mastiffs. I like Neapolitans, I like bulls, I like English,
I like I mean, I like Italian, I like Spanish,
(12:37):
I love There's all kinds of different mastiffs and family.
That very true. Yeah, that's very true. That's a very
true pool in my prior life. But I'm just telling you,
at first glance, when you showed me the photo, I
immediately thought English English mastiff. That's that's all. I'm just like,
(13:00):
if you would have showed me, I said, bulldog, because
in my mind, I'm like, if you would have showed
me an English bulldog and you would have showed me
an American bulldog, I would have been like, you know,
that looked like an English bulldog to me, not an
American bulldog, because there are distinct differences in how they look.
Your dog looked like an English English mastiff, well, he
(13:21):
doesn't look like anything now, but he did. He did. Yeah,
in both ways. That was like an Antendra Yeah, he
did definitely. All right, So that'll that'll wrap up our
coverage at the NFL this segment here as we talk
about a dom he just found out that he's not Irish,
that he's Italian. I mean, no, I am Irish, apparently
(13:45):
more Italian. Yeah, so there you go. I mean, my
grandma's got a lot of a lot of questions to answer,
but those days are I'm not even gonna touch that one.
Just go to be all right. I'm six, I'm almost
six four, a real six four, and my mom is
five three five four, and my dad is five nine.
(14:10):
I never and I'm the only one that's this complexion.
The rest of my brothers are way they're way lighter. Well,
you know, what does the milkman look like? You don't remember?
This is what I will say. I love the milkman
growing up. You want to know why and leave that
joke alone. But the first thing in the morning. Yeah,
(14:33):
and I always appreciated the fact why it didn't matter.
It didn't matter what was going on first thing in
the morning, before it got light out. The milkman was
dropping stuff off and driving that truck around, And for
some reason, I love that that work ethic. All I
know is if for some way my daddy what my daddy,
thank you to the donor out there that that gave
(14:54):
me the genetics that that you gave me, because it
paid off, it paid off in life. All I'll say,
I'm believing. I have no idea how I got this tall.
And my parents are so short though, and then my
brother my older brothers five ten, my younger brothers six foot.
You really are an outlier, like way off, like like
(15:14):
boss Hall does. Does your mom or dad have like
some tall like brothers? So my grandfather was six to five?
Oh there you go. I mean, but I guess why
was I the only one that got it? Though we
could do our pundit squares and figure this all out. Yeah,
I don't know, man. I mean, if my mom fell
(15:39):
off and went out, you know she did it the
right way because I did, all right, So buddy out there,
if you're still around, what are you doing? Bruno's got
Levar's dad being secretariat? Come on, that's it just says
(16:01):
what it is. I've always wondered, like man and we
don't look anything alike. Me and my brothers don't look
anything alike. Now granted, we I mean I want hundred percent. No,
we got to say, mom, I think I don't know.
My brother used to make fun of me when when
we got older, like because I told you, I went
to like sixty three into sixth grade. So my brother
(16:22):
used to like really go at me and be like,
you know, um, you do know you look different from
me and me? And he no, you do know that
they adopted you. And he wouldn't joke like he like,
he would shoot it at me and meant it like
(16:42):
you do know. Um. I mean I hate to tell you,
but you do know, Um, they adopted you. Man, I'm like,
all right. He eventually told me he was joking, but
it was always in the back of my mind. No, hey, awkward.
(17:04):
A lot of people got some explained awkward moment. No,
just we should have a full family session of therapy
on on air. You know. I mean, Brady's dad's name
is Tyrone and my brother's name is Tyrone. I mean,
that's kind of weird a lot of things. I'm just saying.
My dad's middle name is Willists and your nephew's names
as what don't just stop? Two Pros and a Cup

(17:54):
the board in the NFL. We'll tell you who that
is right here on Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to

a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn,
Jonas Knox. Are they here? Coming up a little over
twenty minutes from now from the tire rack dot Com Studios,
we are going to have another edition of would you rather?
Hard hitting questions in the world of sports and beyond
they will be yours. Before we get into this move
in the NFL and which somebody is off the board now,
want to let you know we are brought to you
(18:36):
by Discover. We could talk about how complicated at the
banks make it to redeem credit card rewards, or we
could talk about how would discover you can redeem your
rewards for cash in any amount at anytime. I mean
talk about amazing learn more discover dot com slash redeem
rewards terms apply. Derek Carr off the board. He is
now a New Orleans Saint. He gets the contract done yesterday.
(18:58):
It's a four year deal worth up to one hundred
and fifty million dollars, one hundred million of it guaranteed
sixty million of that at signing. What that all the
details and that Brady can sort that stuff out. I'm
terrible at it, but point being, Derek Carr is going
to be New Orleans Saint. It was the first team
he visited. He also went back for a second conversation
or a second meeting. At the combine in Indianapolis. It
(19:19):
felt like it was down to three. It was the Saints,
it was the Jets, it was the Panthers. There were
some reports that he was leaning slightly towards the Jets,
and then yesterday the decision gets done. He'll be reunited
with Dennis Allen, who was the coach when he came
into the league with the Raiders back in Oakland. But
Derek Carr now becomes the best quarterback in the NFC
South and the New Orleans Saints as of right now,
(19:42):
the odds would say, are the betting favorite to win
that division, that hard hitting NFC South to NFC souths. Yeah, well,
let's go through all the other quarterbacks he's up against,
at least as it currently stands. Tampa's what kle Trask,
Isn't that right? Yep? So he's just assumed to be
presuming to be the starter. Carolina will looking at Matt
Corrall or who else is on the roster that we're
(20:03):
looking Jacobison and is a P J Walker still there?
I don't. I believe he's a free agent? Okay? Yeah?
And then we've got Atlanta, so they've got Desmond Ritter
and I'm not sure who else is behind him, but
I think it's Ritter as of right now. So it's
kind of easy to look at an handicap and say, okay,
like the Saints should be able to win the division.
(20:24):
I think Saints fans were hoping they were able to
last year, considering how lackluster the division was. But look,
this is a roster that they've got a great defense.
They've got playmakers Alvin Kamara obviously in the backfield, Chris Olava,
who showed out well his rookie year. Michael Thomas is
the interesting one though, because he restructured his deal, a
lot of people thought that he was gonna be a
(20:45):
cap casualty. Now given his response, it appears like maybe
he's happy that Derek Carr's there. And if Michael Thomas
can be happy and live up to what he was
before he started being played with injuries, that is quite
the group to throw to, especially with that offensive line
when healthy. So I don't only think as of right
(21:06):
now they're the clear favorites to win the division, but
to me, they're a team that I said this, I
don't know if it was yesterday or last week. Look
at the NFC. If Rogers gets moved to the Jets
or Raiders wherever he goes, and we were talking about
Tom Brady coming back if he comes back, he goes
to Miami. For example, who's in the NFC. I mean, seriously,
(21:29):
you're looking at Kirk Cousins in Minnesota, right, I think
you give them the edge there, Jared Goff Detroit. We'll
go out to la I mean, we'll see what the
Rams can do with Matt Stafford and Kyler Murray and
Arizona with the new head coach Gino signing an extension.
We'll get to that in Seattle. But you start going
through the NFC looking at who your competition is. I mean,
(21:49):
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles have to feel good about
being able to get back to another Super Bowl. It's
hard to do it, but I think they've got a
clear path when you look at the competition the NFC.
As far as the quarterbacks, we never even said that.
That's a part of that, you know, I just assume
the Cowboys aren't gonna be Yeah, why do we do that? Oh?
(22:14):
I don't know what's like? What's the latest with Kimara?
Likes his situation going to be resolved by time we
get to the season. I'm glad y As I got
you covered. He beat the hell out of some guy
outside an elevator in Vegas. Yeah, aren't they you mean
the punishment? Yeah, I'm not quite sure. Isn't that being
looked at and investigate it now? But he's gonna get
suspended what it's going to be but we don't know,
(22:36):
but yeah, I'll get suspended. I don't know what Michael
Thomas is going to be at this point. It's been
quite a while since we've said his name. Um, I
think there's a lot of question marks with with the
offense in New Orleans. And while I think that it
actually is a great move for New Orleans because that
(22:57):
could definitely I mean, I think that obviously improves their
their chances of being a better team. Can guys like
alive can Can they step into it and be what
they need to be? Can? You know? I don't know
that Jarvis Landry is. Is he coming back? For sure,
he's coming back. I don't know if he's coming back,
(23:18):
but I mean he's probably in the twilight of his career. Anyway,
we haven't really said his name. Their old line, if
they can stay healthy, is actually pretty good, not bad.
But again, if you don't have what you're going with,
mark Ingram like our anger is a free agent. Okay,
so then they got to bring him back. Who's who's
(23:39):
as as as well? Again, if if Camara is available
and he's there, and Michael Thomas comes back and can
regain his form. Sure this is especially with a lave
coming into a little bit of what he's got going on.
What about Trey Kwon Smith? Is he is he coming
(24:01):
back on the roster? Yeah, it's bad, He's coming back.
They have the guy who the guy who really showed
out last year was Rashid Shaheed. He was phenomenal. He
had some big time plays. He's a guy who's gonna
be back. Keep an eye on Marqueesz. Callaways stepped up
at times too. They've got a good supporting cast. It's
just about their offensive line stand healthy. And then at
(24:22):
the running back position, I'm sure they're going to add
something in the draft. And then the tight ends were serviceable.
You know, you got a Hill who's a you know,
Swiss Army knife. Troutman was there. He's a draft pick
a few years ago who's serviceable too, along with Juan Johnson.
So they've they've got some guys. Um. I think the
biggest issue might be filling out the interior. Of their defense,
they're gonna you know, I'm not sold on them off
(24:45):
I think so. I think they've got one d tackle
under contract coming back. I think I read like they're
really thin at that spot, like they Malcolm Malcolm Roach
is still in her contract, and Albert Huggins as well. Um,
so let me just present go ahead. Well, so if
you're looking around the NFC, and here are the odds
according to draft Kings as far as who's going to
win the NFC next year, You've got the Niners, Eagles, Cowboys, Lions, Giants, Packers,
(25:10):
and Vikings all of it. That's the order ahead of
the Saints. Yeah, would you not give the Saints at
least somewhat of a chance against every one of those
teams because they've all got questions. The Niners, we don't
know who the hell their quarterbask is going to be.
Brock pretty still hasn't had a surgery yet and he's
scheduling it for Friday. Who knows that gets postponed again,
I don't know. Philadelphia is losing a lot of players.
(25:33):
Dallas obviously asked questions. Detroit had one year, but it's
not like they made the playoffs and then you've got
the Giants, the Packers are in flux, and then the Vikings.
I mean, their defense was atrocious last year. At the
very minimum, New Orleans is in contention, and I think
is a sleeper and a dark horse team to win
the conference. Probably an easier question to answer after free
(25:55):
agency plays out. Now, let's do it now, it's so
much more fun. I think it's more I think it's
a more feasible answer that would come in an explanation
after free because I don't know who's going to be
back for who. Some of these guys may resign back
to where they're at, some of these guys may go
somewhere and make somebody's team better today today, if I'm
(26:16):
taking today, who I think is is the favorite? It's
Philadelphia easily, It's it's far and away Philadelphia. No one's
gonna no one's gonna dispute that, right. I think the
question that becomes who else is the competition? Yeah, I
honestly I believe you gotta go. You gotta stay in
(26:37):
the division, and you probably gotta go with either Dallas
or with the Giants. And yeah, I mean that's and
and Washington isn't far behind. I just don't know what
they're gonna do at quarterback. And if they stay with
Sam Howe, I don't know that that's the answer, But
(26:58):
if they if they make the right move at quarterback,
and now Ron River is able to focus in and
concentrate on one side of the building, which is the
defensive side, which is what he specializes in. And if
Eric by Enemy is who everybody thinks he is and
should be getting a head coaching gig, then he's going
to take over the offensive side of that building and
(27:18):
he's going to make sure they're where they're supposed to be.
I think that those are the three teams that you
got to look at and say, because I don't trust
Trey Lance. I like everything about the forty nine years
except their quarterback position. If Brock Purdy is in there,
I actually feel better about them having a better season
with Purdy. I really do. Even though Trey Lance is
(27:40):
the high draft pick. I just haven't seen anything from
Lance that makes me feel like he's a difference maker.
So everybody else will have to be a difference maker
in order for them to maintain that level of play
that they've been having since having Garoppolo or Purdy being
in there with Trey Lance being out, it's wide open.
It is wide open. I mean, well, and that's the points. Yeah,
(28:02):
if you want to say Philly is the favorite, everyone's
in agreement there. It's just who are you really saying
as the competition? After that? I think every one of
the teams you point to there's some question marks, and
more so in the NFC than AFC. I mean, the
AFC is about ready to become a gauntlet for you know,
all these quarterbacks scoring offers one another. I think it's
(28:23):
a savvy move with Derek Carr. I mean, imagine the
scenario that Jonas mentioned if they were a sleeper to
actually win the conference and go to a super Bowl.
How much that changes the perception of him as a quarterback,
his career, all of it. And by him going to
the Saints where he's got familiarity with Dennis Allen, where
he's got some weapons and playmakers, where they've got a
(28:44):
good defense, and what looks to be a winnable division.
When you can be an eight and nine team and
still winning go in the playoffs, there's a lot to
like about, you know, right now, like laying some money
on some futures bets for the Saints to win that division,
and because I don't know that the value is gonna
get any better. You know, I don't know that you're
gonna get a bunch of guys that join the NFC
(29:05):
South at quarterback. That that truly changed the dynamics of
what that division looks like. And by the way, if
they do get to a super Bowl, that's super Bowls
in Vegas next year. But Derek Carr Union in Vegas, Huh,
that would be interesting. That's how you do it. Does
Mark Davis go to the game? Oh? No shot, no shot?
(29:25):
You think he leavar? Does he get a fresh cut
Mark Davis? Well, he's gonna keep it ball, He's gonna
keep it bold. Yeah, I think he's gonna keep it bold.
He's gonna show up and he is going to be
praying to the football. He buzz his head, ord'd he bickett.
It looks like he went clean. Yeah, I think he
picked it clean. I'm sure he didn't do it. I'm
(29:48):
sure he was talked into it. I don't know his
last circuit. He talked into it. Two Pros and a

would you rather your random topics, sports or otherwise? All right,
lead the lab. How we feel an hour? Two feel
(31:59):
a good yeah, getting back in the groove. Oh yeah,
Lee love it. Way to go, man, what do we
got Lee? Well, of course we all know it's franchise.
It's a tag deadline day, franchise tag deadline day. Everybody's
uh thinking about Lamar Jackson. We've been talking about him
a lot. Would you rather cave in and give him
that to Shaun Watson fully guaranteed, you know, North the
(32:20):
two hundred million dollar contract, or go ahead and move
on from him, get some get some draft picks, move on.
I mean it's kind of vaguely like are we trading him?
Like what are we getting back in exchange? Is this
the non exclusive franchise tag? Like? What are we doing here?
I'd rather move on? Oh wow? Not setting the precedent
that you can just get a guaranteed contract and do
(32:41):
what you want to do and we just go ahead
and cave in, do you, because then we got a
cave in. Everybody else got to set a standard and
a tone in Baltimore, And I would say the north
of two, you know, two thirty million guaranteed and the
exclusive get back two first rounders. What wouldn't you get
back two first rounders? The excuse? Yeah, yeah, non exclusive. Yeah,
(33:02):
and in that case I probably would I'd probably just
take the two first round picks and move on. It's
a lot of money, man, That is a lot that
mean a lot of them. If they wanted to pay it,
I'd assume they would have possibly paid about now. Yeah. Yeah,
so I would probably say take the two first rounders.
Does Bhatti have that kind of money? I mean, I
(33:25):
don't know, Like because I know we were talking yesterday
Arthur Blank, you think has it and then you like
look at some of the other owners that have got
a lot of you know, our flush with cash. They've
got the money. Does Bishatti have the type of money
that he can I'm gonna go on a limb and
say he probably does. He might have to like liquidate
some stuff, but I believe he's worth over six billion. Okay,
(33:46):
it's a little bit. Yeah, bad guys. There's a report
that if the Raiders can't find a way to land
Aaron Rodgers that they might be looking to reunite with
Jimmy Garoppolo or Mac Jones. Would you rather have Jimmy
Garoppolo or Mac Jones? Well, first off, they have a
trade for max Is New England, even willing to do that.
(34:07):
Probably not, But that's the report out there that I'd
rather have Jimmy Garoppolo. I'd rather have Garoppolo too. Jimmy
G makes sense for them. They can't get Rogers. What
about you Berto, Jimmy G. But I want to Bryce
Young But we're not talking about the Raiders though, we're
talking about the Jets. Hold on Burto What what about
(34:27):
Anthony Richardson? Would you take him? Hell? Yeah, okay, so
until he played one game. By the way, last time
we saw Mac Jones, he couldn't even tackle Chandler Jones
in Vegas, So I don't know. They don't want to
bring him back after seeing that performance. I'll take Jimmy G.
Jimmy G in Vegas. I just say that's what that's
(34:49):
my things, Jimmy G in Vegas with the industry there, God,
I can only imagine, oh my good type of touchdowns
he will do just fine. Yeah, we'll be slinging that
ball around, slinging ha ha ha with the try tip.
(35:14):
Oh God, be slinging try tips all all over the place. Guys.
Would somebody asked, yo, ask would you rather have the
good news first or the bad news? First, what do
you go with bad? Bet? Easily bet? Yeah, I'll go
with good. I kind of want to hear like whatever's good.
And the problem is sometimes people tell you good news.
(35:36):
You're like, that's actually not good news. You're look, it's
all going down from here. Screwed then yeah, you're good
news isn't good? Then you're screwed. Yeah, that's I'd rather
rather hear the good news first, we'll figure out the
bad stuff I see. To me, now I want the bet,
and then if I'm screwed with the good news, at
least it was better than the bad news. That's how
I look at it. I guess. Also, you could hear
(35:57):
bad news, but oh it's not that bad, you know. Yeah.
I mean, listen, you gotta be adaptable and adjustable. But
if I, if I had to, if I rather know
one before the other, it's like it's like, oh, someone
you really care about die. It's like, dang, they die.
Oh but you inherited ten million dollars, you know, like
(36:22):
it was worth it, you know what I mean? Like scenario,
if like soul you just inherited ten million dollars, you'd
be like, oh awesome. But I think you'd like, wait
a second, who died? Then? Like you'd kind of tell
you that, right, Yeah, but I don't. I don't want
to end on the on the low note of it,
like it's like it took me up on a high.
It's like, yes, dang LeVar, you'd be the time you'd
(36:46):
be like you should hit ten million dollars I did
about like you even listen to By the way, what
what if you found out that the person that died
that you inherited all that money from was the milkman. Um,
wouldn't that bring up some other questions like you were
bringing up. I wouldn't ask no questions at that point. Yeah,
(37:06):
I'm not asking no questions. I inherited ten million dollars.
But but see, but the thing wouldn't be bad news,
then it wouldn't be bad news. You know if if
you know, I don't know, you know Connie Hopkins, Connie
Hopkins was my my, my people, or I don't you
know he's already gone. But but here's the thing, right,
(37:29):
Like I got my ten million dollars. I'm saying it
can't be bad news if I don't know the person.
So if it was like somebody I was really really
close to and I inherited that money. I would want
to know that they passed away first, and then I'd
like the high of Wow, they left me that amount
of money, Like that'd be awesome. But I'm with Brady though,
if I got it first, I'm still going to find
the positive in inheriting that ten million dollars. Leave got
(37:52):
one last one quick? Yeah? Sure? Well? I would you
rather be a pirate or a wizard? Pirate easily? Well,
wizard sounds so soft if you still you can do
magic and stuff. And for my racial background, I just
kind of stay away from those types of words. You know, yeah,
you know it gets he can get a little stile
(38:13):
topy about that. I wanted to be a wizard. Fox

I haven't. I haven't found the one that comes in
(01:05):
the way that I like it to come in. I
know you need it to have like a good riff
off the top, I get it. Yeah, man, Jonas isn't
even close Jonas State. Yeah, yours isn't even he does
it to be different. Now, that's what it does, you know.
Miyan brings it brings that thunder, brings that heat. Yeah,
until we need get you jacked up. We don't need
(01:26):
any more thunder, we need all heat. Yeah. Yeah, that's
a great point. I'm so tired of being cold. You
hear me. It's not that cold out hey weather. I
need more heat. Where's the space here? Less thunder? I
need like natural heat. Oh, I got you know, I
need our I need our temperatures to change the climate. Yeah, yeah,
(01:47):
I feel I'm tired of seeing all of this trash weather, yeah, rain, snow,
So I got here on the main streets, Brady. Until
we deal with here in California, yeah you know. Yeah,
I'm sure all those listenings feel really bad for you
guys living in southern California. Yeah, man, I mean it
should be relatable because we're having bad weather and and
(02:10):
for what it's worth, we pay the taxes to be
able to live in the type of temperature and climate
that brought us here. Oh yeah, you can't realize there's
other people who pay taxes high taxes and live in
other places they chose that. I chose to live here
and pay my taxes for the sun. They said, you
(02:30):
pay taxes for the sunlight out here. I'm not getting
that sun. I want my I want a refund or
I want the sun. Either one. Either way, I like
a variety. Give me a little bit of crappy way there.
We're gonna get plenty of sun later on, and then
everybody's going to complain when it's one hundred eight degrees
out and we're sweating our balls. New Yeah, look, it
(02:51):
makes you appreciate the nice days, right, Yeah, Now that's
a great point. No, I don't want to do it.
It's a great point. My knees. I've been upright, I've
been feeling good. The minute the weather change, my body
just fell apart. That's what I was running from. I
ran from the weather that made me feel really really bad,
and now I feel really really bad. I could go
(03:12):
back to Maryland and Pittsburgh, you know whatever. It's a
little odd that when the temperature drops that one knee
flares up, just the one. We've been doing this show
long enough, right, the other one that's the most banged
up one, that's the one that got the most needles
and cuts and incisions and cleanups and all that, and
(03:33):
blew my achilles tendant. That's the leg. So the left
leg is the one man. So is there a threshold?
Like what temperature does it get down to before? Buddy?
Remember me? I never paid attention to it, but it
definitely is. My left side goes bad as soon as
the weather change. I could tell you the weather as
soon as the suit's about to change, like you're telling me.
(03:55):
You're telling me for all the time we've spent watching
the Weather Channel, you really should be the one that's
I'm just saying, you could do a better job than
Stephanie Abrams talking about all the snow on those mountains.
I could not do a better job than moving Stephanie Abrams.
Is that the person that we're always watching that that
(04:16):
he's on there? Yeah? Yeah, Is that the one that? Yeah? Yeah, No,
I wouldn't do a better job, Yeah that one. Yeah, No,
I don't know, no way I wouldn't do a better job.
I could predict what I think the weather is going
to be something about it. But uh yeah, it's like
(04:37):
they say dogs can predict earthquakes. They start barking a
lot and freaking out. Usually there's an earthquake right after.
It's almost like your knee starts barking and you know
the cold weather's coming. Well, how would you know that
you don't have a dog? That's true, that's a good point.
Thanks for bringing that up. But if he was, if
he wasn't dead, he would be barking before an earthquake.
I think it was only a decade or more go.
(04:58):
I mean you can, you can go ahead and move
on if I don't think it's quite a decade. And
I'm trying to get over it, but Brady keeps reminding
me of the corpse I have for an animal and
a pet. Well, last week, you suppose we try to
dig him back up. I did, but I was you know,
I figured a if you're gonna here's the problem. Brady
knows I can't resist myself. So if he goes in
(05:21):
a dark place, I'm right there with him. I let
me go along with you, gladly, and let me take
it up a notch. And he knows all he does
is teaming up with that crap, and then I run
with it. Next thing, you know, you claimed your your
bull masts like sixty pounds more than the average size
(05:41):
of already a large that much bigger than I swear
to God, I showed LeVar the picture of he was.
He was bad. He was really overweight. It was not healthy.
So we had to put him one off muscle ways
more than fat. So if he was really overweight, it
still doesn't make he's gonna be sixty more. He was huge.
I'm I'm not this is I'm not making this up.
(06:02):
If I would have said you should put the fat
boss hold picture on Twitter male or female male, Yeah,
but Rety's right, that's like thirty it's like forty pounds.
Even if it was one hundred and sixty five pounds,
it's a big bust, like another thirty pounds on top
of that twenty pounds. Waited. He had medical issues. I
took him in, we put him on a scale. He
(06:23):
was one hundred and eighty pounds. This is what's one
hundred and eighties initially is one hundred and ninety. This
is what I would say. The first time I looked
at the dog, it looked like an English mastiff. That's
what it looked like to me. I think you might
be mixed up on thinking that it was a bull. Mastiff.
That's I think that that's where the disc of this is.
(06:45):
There's a great chance that Jonas did not know you
might it might have not have been a bull mastiff.
That actually might be the most might have been in
my logical scenario here is Jonas was actually aware of
the actual breed of his dog. I have his birth certificate.
That's how I know he's from Chili Coothee, Ohio. But
they might have told you that it was a bull mastiff.
It might have had more English in it than bull.
(07:08):
It looked to me when I saw Boss Hall, he
looked like an English mastiff. To me, that's what he
looked like. And you hurt me say it. First time
I looked at I was like, oh, it is the
English mash. He's a bull mastiff. I mean, listen, there's
an easy solution all this. You guys have done twenty three.
In me, it's how Brady found out. Hey, you black,
why are you coming at me? Hit the button? Man,
(07:31):
hit the But I say, I said, there's an easy
way to do this, We'll do it twenty three. In me,
if somebody could go to the hardware store, give me
like a post hole digger and some tools, I can
go dig him up. We'll lay him right here on
the table, and then we'll take his DNA tim and
that way. That way everybody will know that he's from
Chili cothe try and he's a bull mask. I'm just
(07:52):
trying to give everybody a win here. Okay, why can't
you embellish your weight problem, but I can't embellish hogsway problem.
I'm actually supported you, but you supporting you. But I
didn't say, did I sit here and say now the dog? Now? Now,
now you're telling me I don't know. I don't know
the heritage of the dog. I'm just saying they might
have They might like you. There's a possibility that there
(08:13):
could have been a mix there, or like a genetic
a DNA type of deal where it was crossed with
an English mastiff for something, thevars onto something. Look, English
mastiffs are way bigger. I mean they punds. Yeah, so
it makes way more sad. Look exactly the same. Similar.
(08:36):
This is how it went. He had medical issues. He
had his back hips were going out, he had a
blood disorder. They couldn't figure out anything to get him right,
so they put him on steroids to try and build strength,
and he ballooned literally ballooned up. He got him, he
got he got up to one hundred and eighty pounds,
and then when we were able to dial him back
(08:57):
down and get him on the right medicine and the
right the right food and all that stuff, then he
got down to a round one fifth And that was
just walking around. Wait afterwards about I'm on LaVar's theory.
All right, that's fine, you can be honest theory. He
looks like a bull mastiff, bro, I mean he looks
like an English mastiff. Okay. When I first saw him,
when you showed me to picture of him, I was like, oh,
he's an English mastiff. That's he looked like any Well, god,
(09:20):
well he just said you know what he is now?
He's a did master. Yeah, he's whichever one it is,
whether Bull or English. Just a further this, I'm looking
up English mastiffs for sailing Chila Coffee, Ohio, and I've
got some hits. There's a great chance you just got
sold the wrong breed. Unaway. I didn't get sold anything.
Do you want to know the backstory and how he
(09:40):
even got the dog? Okay, my sister's X was it
was a mover, and he drove trucks across the country
and he moved people, and he went to this place,
somebody's house and chilcoffee. That does not sound good. I
mean it's certainly it definitely it certainly. Yeah. I wasna say, yeah,
(10:03):
there's not some good, not on the awful direction, but
it certainly goes towards he was. So here's how this happened.
He was moving a family and he noticed the dog
and he said, oh, that's a really cool dog. And
they they it was a pure bread. They had a
bunch of these mastiffs and he said, that's a really
(10:25):
cool dog. And they said, oh yeah, he's so big though,
and he's hard to control, and et cetera. Et cetera.
Was really young, he was under a year old. And
then when he came back to get everything together, she
said to him, I know you liked this dog the
last time we were here. He's too big for us.
We're moving, just taking he brought He brought the dog
(10:46):
in his truck cross country. I walked into the room
in my parents house and he was there looking at me,
and they gave him to me because I had another
mastiff and a smaller mastiff who passed away. It was
not a bull mastive who passed away, who passed away,
and then this dog showed up and that was dog
(11:08):
and that's how he got here. And again now he's
dead and you guys want to tell me after the
fact what my dog was when it was my dog.
I mean, I'm gonna let you have it, Jonas, I'm
gonna let you have that because it was your dog. Yes, yeah,
I mean, you know, I'm with LaVar on this, but
there's nothing you said your story because you're telling me
(11:33):
like what the backstory the dog is when I'm when
I know the backstory story you got from a guy
who got it from a family. I mean he might
have some paperwork or something on it. I got the paperwork,
I have the birst or two gud I got everything,
you know. I mean you got the dog kind of
the way you got the dog. I mean, how you
know that the paperwork isn't a little off? What do
(11:54):
you think? What do you think it is a human
being dressed as a dog to bulls. That's the thing now,
I mean, if we're being honest and he came to
the right place, I got used for you, so that
is that is accepted in certain places. I'm just saying
the right one. I'm not an expert, but I do
know a little bit about dogs, and I know what
(12:15):
certain breeds look like because I'm I'm really into certain
breeds of dogs, and it's larger breeds. One of the
one of the families breeds that I'm into really deep
is mastiffs. I like Neapolitans, I like bulls, I like English,
I like I mean, I like Italian, I like Spanish,
(12:37):
I love There's all kinds of different mastiffs and family.
That very true. Yeah, that's very true. That's a very
true pool in my prior life. But I'm just telling you,
at first glance, when you showed me the photo, I
immediately thought English English mastiff. That's that's all. I'm just like,
(13:00):
if you would have showed me, I said, bulldog, because
in my mind, I'm like, if you would have showed
me an English bulldog and you would have showed me
an American bulldog, I would have been like, you know,
that looked like an English bulldog to me, not an
American bulldog, because there are distinct differences in how they look.
Your dog looked like an English English mastiff, well, he
(13:21):
doesn't look like anything now, but he did. He did. Yeah,
in both ways. That was like an Antendra Yeah, he
did definitely. All right, So that'll that'll wrap up our
coverage at the NFL this segment here as we talk
about a dom he just found out that he's not Irish,
that he's Italian. I mean, no, I am Irish, apparently
(13:45):
more Italian. Yeah, so there you go. I mean, my
grandma's got a lot of a lot of questions to answer,
but those days are I'm not even gonna touch that one.
Just go to be all right. I'm six, I'm almost
six four, a real six four, and my mom is
five three five four, and my dad is five nine.
(14:10):
I never and I'm the only one that's this complexion.
The rest of my brothers are way they're way lighter. Well,
you know, what does the milkman look like? You don't remember?
This is what I will say. I love the milkman
growing up. You want to know why and leave that
joke alone. But the first thing in the morning. Yeah,
(14:33):
and I always appreciated the fact why it didn't matter.
It didn't matter what was going on first thing in
the morning, before it got light out. The milkman was
dropping stuff off and driving that truck around, And for
some reason, I love that that work ethic. All I
know is if for some way my daddy what my daddy,
thank you to the donor out there that that gave
(14:54):
me the genetics that that you gave me, because it
paid off, it paid off in life. All I'll say,
I'm believing. I have no idea how I got this tall.
And my parents are so short though, and then my
brother my older brothers five ten, my younger brothers six foot.
You really are an outlier, like way off, like like
(15:14):
boss Hall does. Does your mom or dad have like
some tall like brothers? So my grandfather was six to five?
Oh there you go. I mean, but I guess why
was I the only one that got it? Though we
could do our pundit squares and figure this all out. Yeah,
I don't know, man. I mean, if my mom fell
(15:39):
off and went out, you know she did it the
right way because I did, all right, So buddy out there,
if you're still around, what are you doing? Bruno's got
Levar's dad being secretariat? Come on, that's it just says
(16:01):
what it is. I've always wondered, like man and we
don't look anything alike. Me and my brothers don't look
anything alike. Now granted, we I mean I want hundred percent. No,
we got to say, mom, I think I don't know.
My brother used to make fun of me when when
we got older, like because I told you, I went
to like sixty three into sixth grade. So my brother
(16:22):
used to like really go at me and be like,
you know, um, you do know you look different from
me and me? And he no, you do know that
they adopted you. And he wouldn't joke like he like,
he would shoot it at me and meant it like
(16:42):
you do know. Um. I mean I hate to tell you,
but you do know, Um, they adopted you. Man, I'm like,
all right. He eventually told me he was joking, but
it was always in the back of my mind. No, hey, awkward.
(17:04):
A lot of people got some explained awkward moment. No,
just we should have a full family session of therapy
on on air. You know. I mean, Brady's dad's name
is Tyrone and my brother's name is Tyrone. I mean,
that's kind of weird a lot of things. I'm just saying.
My dad's middle name is Willists and your nephew's names
as what don't just stop? Two Pros and a Cup

the board in the NFL. We'll tell you who that
is right here on Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to

(18:15):
a Cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn,
Jonas Knox. Are they here? Coming up a little over
twenty minutes from now from the tire rack dot Com Studios,
we are going to have another edition of would you rather?
Hard hitting questions in the world of sports and beyond

in the NFL and which somebody is off the board now,
want to let you know we are brought to you
(18:36):
by Discover. We could talk about how complicated at the
banks make it to redeem credit card rewards, or we
could talk about how would discover you can redeem your
rewards for cash in any amount at anytime. I mean
talk about amazing learn more discover dot com slash redeem
rewards terms apply. Derek Carr off the board. He is
now a New Orleans Saint. He gets the contract done yesterday.
(18:58):
It's a four year deal worth up to one hundred
and fifty million dollars, one hundred million of it guaranteed
sixty million of that at signing. What that all the
details and that Brady can sort that stuff out. I'm
terrible at it, but point being, Derek Carr is going
to be New Orleans Saint. It was the first team
he visited. He also went back for a second conversation
or a second meeting. At the combine in Indianapolis. It
(19:19):
felt like it was down to three. It was the Saints,
it was the Jets, it was the Panthers. There were
some reports that he was leaning slightly towards the Jets,
and then yesterday the decision gets done. He'll be reunited
with Dennis Allen, who was the coach when he came
into the league with the Raiders back in Oakland. But
Derek Carr now becomes the best quarterback in the NFC
South and the New Orleans Saints as of right now,
(19:42):
the odds would say, are the betting favorite to win
that division, that hard hitting NFC South to NFC souths. Yeah, well,
let's go through all the other quarterbacks he's up against,
at least as it currently stands. Tampa's what kle Trask,
Isn't that right? Yep? So he's just assumed to be
presuming to be the starter. Carolina will looking at Matt
Corrall or who else is on the roster that we're
(20:03):
looking Jacobison and is a P J Walker still there?
I don't. I believe he's a free agent? Okay? Yeah?
And then we've got Atlanta, so they've got Desmond Ritter
and I'm not sure who else is behind him, but
I think it's Ritter as of right now. So it's
kind of easy to look at an handicap and say, okay,
like the Saints should be able to win the division.
(20:24):
I think Saints fans were hoping they were able to
last year, considering how lackluster the division was. But look,
this is a roster that they've got a great defense.
They've got playmakers Alvin Kamara obviously in the backfield, Chris Olava,
who showed out well his rookie year. Michael Thomas is
the interesting one though, because he restructured his deal, a
lot of people thought that he was gonna be a
(20:45):
cap casualty. Now given his response, it appears like maybe
he's happy that Derek Carr's there. And if Michael Thomas
can be happy and live up to what he was
before he started being played with injuries, that is quite
the group to throw to, especially with that offensive line
when healthy. So I don't only think as of right
(21:06):
now they're the clear favorites to win the division, but
to me, they're a team that I said this, I
don't know if it was yesterday or last week. Look
at the NFC. If Rogers gets moved to the Jets
or Raiders wherever he goes, and we were talking about
Tom Brady coming back if he comes back, he goes
to Miami. For example, who's in the NFC. I mean, seriously,
(21:29):
you're looking at Kirk Cousins in Minnesota, right, I think
you give them the edge there, Jared Goff Detroit. We'll
go out to la I mean, we'll see what the
Rams can do with Matt Stafford and Kyler Murray and
Arizona with the new head coach Gino signing an extension.
We'll get to that in Seattle. But you start going
through the NFC looking at who your competition is. I mean,
(21:49):
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles have to feel good about
being able to get back to another Super Bowl. It's
hard to do it, but I think they've got a
clear path when you look at the competition the NFC.
As far as the quarterbacks, we never even said that.
That's a part of that, you know, I just assume
the Cowboys aren't gonna be Yeah, why do we do that? Oh?
(22:14):
I don't know what's like? What's the latest with Kimara?
Likes his situation going to be resolved by time we
get to the season. I'm glad y As I got
you covered. He beat the hell out of some guy
outside an elevator in Vegas. Yeah, aren't they you mean
the punishment? Yeah, I'm not quite sure. Isn't that being
looked at and investigate it now? But he's gonna get
suspended what it's going to be but we don't know,
(22:36):
but yeah, I'll get suspended. I don't know what Michael
Thomas is going to be at this point. It's been
quite a while since we've said his name. Um, I
think there's a lot of question marks with with the
offense in New Orleans. And while I think that it
actually is a great move for New Orleans because that
(22:57):
could definitely I mean, I think that obviously improves their
their chances of being a better team. Can guys like
alive can Can they step into it and be what
they need to be? Can? You know? I don't know
that Jarvis Landry is. Is he coming back? For sure,
he's coming back. I don't know if he's coming back,
(23:18):
but I mean he's probably in the twilight of his career. Anyway,
we haven't really said his name. Their old line, if
they can stay healthy, is actually pretty good, not bad.
But again, if you don't have what you're going with,
mark Ingram like our anger is a free agent. Okay,
so then they got to bring him back. Who's who's
(23:39):
as as as well? Again, if if Camara is available
and he's there, and Michael Thomas comes back and can
regain his form. Sure this is especially with a lave
coming into a little bit of what he's got going on.
What about Trey Kwon Smith? Is he is he coming
(24:01):
back on the roster? Yeah, it's bad, He's coming back.
They have the guy who the guy who really showed
out last year was Rashid Shaheed. He was phenomenal. He
had some big time plays. He's a guy who's gonna
be back. Keep an eye on Marqueesz. Callaways stepped up
at times too. They've got a good supporting cast. It's
just about their offensive line stand healthy. And then at
(24:22):
the running back position, I'm sure they're going to add
something in the draft. And then the tight ends were serviceable.
You know, you got a Hill who's a you know,
Swiss Army knife. Troutman was there. He's a draft pick
a few years ago who's serviceable too, along with Juan Johnson.
So they've they've got some guys. Um. I think the
biggest issue might be filling out the interior. Of their defense,
they're gonna you know, I'm not sold on them off
(24:45):
I think so. I think they've got one d tackle
under contract coming back. I think I read like they're
really thin at that spot, like they Malcolm Malcolm Roach
is still in her contract, and Albert Huggins as well. Um,
so let me just present go ahead. Well, so if
you're looking around the NFC, and here are the odds
according to draft Kings as far as who's going to
win the NFC next year, You've got the Niners, Eagles, Cowboys, Lions, Giants, Packers,
(25:10):
and Vikings all of it. That's the order ahead of
the Saints. Yeah, would you not give the Saints at
least somewhat of a chance against every one of those
teams because they've all got questions. The Niners, we don't
know who the hell their quarterbask is going to be.
Brock pretty still hasn't had a surgery yet and he's
scheduling it for Friday. Who knows that gets postponed again,
I don't know. Philadelphia is losing a lot of players.
(25:33):
Dallas obviously asked questions. Detroit had one year, but it's
not like they made the playoffs and then you've got
the Giants, the Packers are in flux, and then the Vikings.
I mean, their defense was atrocious last year. At the
very minimum, New Orleans is in contention, and I think
is a sleeper and a dark horse team to win
the conference. Probably an easier question to answer after free
(25:55):
agency plays out. Now, let's do it now, it's so
much more fun. I think it's more I think it's
a more feasible answer that would come in an explanation
after free because I don't know who's going to be
back for who. Some of these guys may resign back
to where they're at, some of these guys may go
somewhere and make somebody's team better today today, if I'm
(26:16):
taking today, who I think is is the favorite? It's
Philadelphia easily, It's it's far and away Philadelphia. No one's
gonna no one's gonna dispute that, right. I think the
question that becomes who else is the competition? Yeah, I
honestly I believe you gotta go. You gotta stay in
(26:37):
the division, and you probably gotta go with either Dallas
or with the Giants. And yeah, I mean that's and
and Washington isn't far behind. I just don't know what
they're gonna do at quarterback. And if they stay with
Sam Howe, I don't know that that's the answer, But
(26:58):
if they if they make the right move at quarterback,
and now Ron River is able to focus in and
concentrate on one side of the building, which is the
defensive side, which is what he specializes in. And if
Eric by Enemy is who everybody thinks he is and
should be getting a head coaching gig, then he's going
to take over the offensive side of that building and
(27:18):
he's going to make sure they're where they're supposed to be.
I think that those are the three teams that you
got to look at and say, because I don't trust
Trey Lance. I like everything about the forty nine years
except their quarterback position. If Brock Purdy is in there,
I actually feel better about them having a better season
with Purdy. I really do. Even though Trey Lance is
(27:40):
the high draft pick. I just haven't seen anything from
Lance that makes me feel like he's a difference maker.
So everybody else will have to be a difference maker
in order for them to maintain that level of play
that they've been having since having Garoppolo or Purdy being
in there with Trey Lance being out, it's wide open.
It is wide open. I mean, well, and that's the points. Yeah,
(28:02):
if you want to say Philly is the favorite, everyone's
in agreement there. It's just who are you really saying
as the competition? After that? I think every one of
the teams you point to there's some question marks, and
more so in the NFC than AFC. I mean, the
AFC is about ready to become a gauntlet for you know,
all these quarterbacks scoring offers one another. I think it's
(28:23):
a savvy move with Derek Carr. I mean, imagine the
scenario that Jonas mentioned if they were a sleeper to
actually win the conference and go to a super Bowl.
How much that changes the perception of him as a quarterback,
his career, all of it. And by him going to
the Saints where he's got familiarity with Dennis Allen, where
he's got some weapons and playmakers, where they've got a
(28:44):
good defense, and what looks to be a winnable division.
When you can be an eight and nine team and
still winning go in the playoffs, there's a lot to
like about, you know, right now, like laying some money
on some futures bets for the Saints to win that division,
and because I don't know that the value is gonna
get any better. You know, I don't know that you're
gonna get a bunch of guys that join the NFC
(29:05):
South at quarterback. That that truly changed the dynamics of
what that division looks like. And by the way, if
they do get to a super Bowl, that's super Bowls
in Vegas next year. But Derek Carr Union in Vegas, Huh,
that would be interesting. That's how you do it. Does
Mark Davis go to the game? Oh? No shot, no shot?
(29:25):
You think he leavar? Does he get a fresh cut
Mark Davis? Well, he's gonna keep it ball, He's gonna
keep it bold. Yeah, I think he's gonna keep it bold.
He's gonna show up and he is going to be
praying to the football. He buzz his head, ord'd he bickett.
It looks like he went clean. Yeah, I think he
picked it clean. I'm sure he didn't do it. I'm
(29:48):
sure he was talked into it. I don't know his
last circuit. He talked into it. Two Pros and a

would you rather your random topics, sports or otherwise? All right,
lead the lab. How we feel an hour? Two feel
(31:59):
a good yeah, getting back in the groove. Oh yeah,
Lee love it. Way to go, man, what do we
got Lee? Well, of course we all know it's franchise.
It's a tag deadline day, franchise tag deadline day. Everybody's
uh thinking about Lamar Jackson. We've been talking about him
a lot. Would you rather cave in and give him
that to Shaun Watson fully guaranteed, you know, North the
(32:20):
two hundred million dollar contract, or go ahead and move
on from him, get some get some draft picks, move on.
I mean it's kind of vaguely like are we trading him?
Like what are we getting back in exchange? Is this
the non exclusive franchise tag? Like? What are we doing here?
I'd rather move on? Oh wow? Not setting the precedent
that you can just get a guaranteed contract and do
(32:41):
what you want to do and we just go ahead
and cave in, do you, because then we got a
cave in. Everybody else got to set a standard and
a tone in Baltimore, And I would say the north
of two, you know, two thirty million guaranteed and the
exclusive get back two first rounders. What wouldn't you get
back two first rounders? The excuse? Yeah, yeah, non exclusive. Yeah,
(33:02):
and in that case I probably would I'd probably just
take the two first round picks and move on. It's
a lot of money, man, That is a lot that
mean a lot of them. If they wanted to pay it,
I'd assume they would have possibly paid about now. Yeah. Yeah,
so I would probably say take the two first rounders.
Does Bhatti have that kind of money? I mean, I
(33:25):
don't know, Like because I know we were talking yesterday
Arthur Blank, you think has it and then you like
look at some of the other owners that have got
a lot of you know, our flush with cash. They've
got the money. Does Bishatti have the type of money
that he can I'm gonna go on a limb and
say he probably does. He might have to like liquidate
some stuff, but I believe he's worth over six billion. Okay,
(33:46):
it's a little bit. Yeah, bad guys. There's a report
that if the Raiders can't find a way to land
Aaron Rodgers that they might be looking to reunite with
Jimmy Garoppolo or Mac Jones. Would you rather have Jimmy
Garoppolo or Mac Jones? Well, first off, they have a
trade for max Is New England, even willing to do that.
(34:07):
Probably not, But that's the report out there that I'd
rather have Jimmy Garoppolo. I'd rather have Garoppolo too. Jimmy
G makes sense for them. They can't get Rogers. What
about you Berto, Jimmy G. But I want to Bryce
Young But we're not talking about the Raiders though, we're
talking about the Jets. Hold on Burto What what about
(34:27):
Anthony Richardson? Would you take him? Hell? Yeah, okay, so
until he played one game. By the way, last time
we saw Mac Jones, he couldn't even tackle Chandler Jones
in Vegas, So I don't know. They don't want to
bring him back after seeing that performance. I'll take Jimmy G.
Jimmy G in Vegas. I just say that's what that's
(34:49):
my things, Jimmy G in Vegas with the industry there, God,
I can only imagine, oh my good type of touchdowns
he will do just fine. Yeah, we'll be slinging that
ball around, slinging ha ha ha with the try tip.
(35:14):
Oh God, be slinging try tips all all over the place. Guys.
Would somebody asked, yo, ask would you rather have the
good news first or the bad news? First, what do
you go with bad? Bet? Easily bet? Yeah, I'll go
with good. I kind of want to hear like whatever's good.
And the problem is sometimes people tell you good news.
(35:36):
You're like, that's actually not good news. You're look, it's
all going down from here. Screwed then yeah, you're good
news isn't good? Then you're screwed. Yeah, that's I'd rather
rather hear the good news first, we'll figure out the
bad stuff I see. To me, now I want the bet,
and then if I'm screwed with the good news, at
least it was better than the bad news. That's how
I look at it. I guess. Also, you could hear
(35:57):
bad news, but oh it's not that bad, you know. Yeah.
I mean, listen, you gotta be adaptable and adjustable. But
if I, if I had to, if I rather know
one before the other, it's like it's like, oh, someone
you really care about die. It's like, dang, they die.
Oh but you inherited ten million dollars, you know, like
(36:22):
it was worth it, you know what I mean? Like scenario,
if like soul you just inherited ten million dollars, you'd
be like, oh awesome. But I think you'd like, wait
a second, who died? Then? Like you'd kind of tell
you that, right, Yeah, but I don't. I don't want
to end on the on the low note of it,
like it's like it took me up on a high.
It's like, yes, dang LeVar, you'd be the time you'd
(36:46):
be like you should hit ten million dollars I did
about like you even listen to By the way, what
what if you found out that the person that died
that you inherited all that money from was the milkman. Um,
wouldn't that bring up some other questions like you were
bringing up. I wouldn't ask no questions at that point. Yeah,
(37:06):
I'm not asking no questions. I inherited ten million dollars.
But but see, but the thing wouldn't be bad news,
then it wouldn't be bad news. You know if if
you know, I don't know, you know Connie Hopkins, Connie
Hopkins was my my, my people, or I don't you
know he's already gone. But but here's the thing, right,
(37:29):
Like I got my ten million dollars. I'm saying it
can't be bad news if I don't know the person.
So if it was like somebody I was really really
close to and I inherited that money. I would want
to know that they passed away first, and then I'd
like the high of Wow, they left me that amount
of money, Like that'd be awesome. But I'm with Brady though,
if I got it first, I'm still going to find
the positive in inheriting that ten million dollars. Leave got
(37:52):
one last one quick? Yeah? Sure? Well? I would you
rather be a pirate or a wizard? Pirate easily? Well,
wizard sounds so soft if you still you can do
magic and stuff. And for my racial background, I just
kind of stay away from those types of words. You know, yeah,
you know it gets he can get a little stile
(38:13):
topy about that. I wanted to be a wizard. Fox
