great storyline in the NFL next year, because, according to
ESPN's Adam Schefter Ezekiel, Elliott hopes to make a decision
(01:26):
on where he signs by late next week, and he's
narrowed down to three teams, the Bengals, the Jets, and
the Philadelphia Eagles. Please be the Philadelphia Eagles, just for
the storyline of him having to play the Cowboys twice
a year. Please let it be the Philadelphia Eagles. You
(01:48):
all in on Philly or what? Let's do this? I mean,
I think, like you said, it creates for an interesting storyline,
But I mean, how much of an impact is he
going to have on the game. I mean, let's he
hasn't had a real impact on a game and well
since he's got his new contract, so I don't I don't.
(02:09):
You know, It's like if if you're bringing him in
to be a a situational back, short yardage type of deal. Um,
maybe pass pro sets where he's blocking and protecting the quarterback.
But I just gotta be honest with you, I don't
even know that he's man. I sound like a hater,
(02:31):
and I don't want to sound like a hater. But
I don't even know if he's good enough to be
a relevant story in terms of if he went to
a team like Philadelphia and they have other other than
this Jonas, I will say this information now that might
make it interesting in terms of the exchange of conversations,
(02:54):
you know what. But but Kellen Moore is gone, So
I don't know how much of the play book is
even going to be a playbook that Mike McCarthy is
going to use for this season. You know, I don't know,
but I would almost feel like that would be the
only storyline of note is the familiarity of the offense,
(03:20):
of the scheme, the cadences, all those different things that
Ezekiel Elliott would have, which some of that stuff still
might be the same moving forward. But I mean in
terms of him as a player, you know, he had
a brilliant early start of his career, but for one
reason or another, ever since the contract, he's been you know,
(03:45):
not so much not a franchise running back, that's for certain.
It's um well, I mean listen, you go to Mango Deck,
and as you've clued me in on you and Brady
told me about Mango Dead, I don't know anything about
Mango Dead. Well, I mean, I did a little bit
of research on Mango Deck, and if I was gonna
hold out for a contract, it's right near the top
of the list. I mean, that's that's the place to
go if you're gonna hold out for a contract. So
(04:05):
maybe you know, he's still feeling some of the repercussions
of some of those you know, parties at Mango Deck,
and that's what's led to his decline since getting the contract.
But at least he got the contract. I just the
part that And I know everybody understands it. It's a business,
and I know everybody understands that it's a lot going
(04:26):
on here, lock going on, but I know that everybody
understands it is a business and these guys are going
to do what's best for business. But it still is
funny to me when players leave and go to a
division rival the very next year. I did like and
I think and it was exactly for the same reasons,
(04:49):
is that I wanted to stick it to them. Yeah,
I mean, I think and I think that just the
idea that because we've seen this before DeMarco Murray. Remember
DeMarco Murray, that monster or year with Dallas and one
of the new contract and Dallas just was not going
to give him the contract, not going to give him
the contract, and who did. He signed with Philly and
it didn't work out, and they put him in that
(05:11):
scheme and it probably wasn't the best the best scheme
for him, and it just didn't pan out the way
everybody thought it was going to be. But that had
to partly be from Philadelphia standpoint, we can stick it
to Dallas and from DeMarco Murray standpoint, I can stick
it to Dallas. And I think fans still get caught
up in the fact of loyalty and it's all about,
you know, the team you're currently on, and it doesn't
(05:33):
mean that Zeke's not going to go back to Dallas
one day and they're gonna, you know, maybe you know,
who knows put his his number up in the Ring
of Honor, which I don't see likely, but who knows.
They're going to celebrate him and he's always going to
be a Dallas cowboy. But in the moment He's probably
thinking to himself, f them, like, you don't think I
can play like I wonder what his preference would be
(05:55):
if it's down to those three teams. I wonder if
he would prefer to go to Philadelphia just to stay,
get to Dallas and all his friends over there, including
Dak Prescott, which is one of his best friends. Like,
I wonder if he has enough left in the tank
where he could actually get in the type of shape
where he could be as good as he was before.
(06:20):
I would that would be cure if he came out
and straight was was just a different, different back than
what he has been in years past and in the
last few years, you know, And and then how do
how do we interpret that? So if he was never
going to get motivated before, this is the off season
he gets motivated, right one seems like this is the
(06:45):
this is the off season that he would want to
show everybody. Oh you don't think I complain anymore? Watch this,
But look, man, he's you know, he's been in a
league since twenty sixteen. I mean, you know, he's not.
You know, everyone you know looks at the age. But
the mileage and Ohio State used him a lot when
he was in college. He was the featured back the
first portion of his career in Dallas. He had the
(07:08):
six game suspension for you know, the incident that took
place where you know, he had a domestic dispute or
something like that, so he got pop for six games
his second year of the season. But other than that,
I mean, he hasn't missed a lot of times a
lot of games. I mean, he's only missed one game
in his career and he started majority of those games,
(07:30):
and the one game he missed was last year. It's
just been a steady decline of his product productivity, and
I don't know if it was the offense or just
he doesn't look like he had the same burst because
when Tony Pollard got in the games, it was a
different looking running game than it was with Zee Elliott.
And I don't know what to chalk that up to,
because it's not like offensive line was the issue. They
(07:51):
weren't what they were when he got into the league,
but Dallas still had a functional offensive line that could
move people around. I just don't know what happened. Is
it just this is part of the deal. He's a
running back, and this is the way this goes. And
this is the way this goes when you're running back
at twenty seven years old, because that where we're at.
I you know, I don't know, I don't I'm not sure,
(08:15):
but I do know this when when a back self
life or when his expiration date seems to hit, that
seems to be it. And and and usually you don't
really see mid mid level you know type of guys.
And when I say mid level, you go from being
(08:36):
elite to now you're you're kind of you're okay for
a long time and you just exist for a long
time being okay. It's like either you're elite and you
stay at a level of eliteness for for a pretty
period of time a long time, or it just it
(08:58):
it goes downhill, you fall off a cliff and you'd
like you disappear. You know, guys like Emmett Smith or
Thurman Thomas, you know, uh, Jerome Bettis, you know Fred Taylor. Uh.
You you look at backs that have been elite backs, uh,
Eddie George. They they were pretty elite for for a
(09:20):
long time. And and and then you get guys that
you know, they came in and they got off to
a really really fast start and then it just it
fell off. And there's probably way more than those, and
and you could look him up and and and come
up with a lot of names. I don't even know
(09:41):
any that just pop off the top of my head.
Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson got that monster contract from Tennessee.
Never the same and he had a two thousand yard year.
I mean he I don't I don't recall the last
part of his career, but I mean, like, at what
point did he retire? Like how many years did he
make it through not being elite? You think? Let me
(10:03):
just off the top, I don't think he got the
thirty Like I'm almost positive he didn't get to thirty.
Like just just off the top of my head looking back,
I mean I remember he got the big contract or
did he finished at his career at thirty two? But
he was just doing spot duty Like that wasn't he got?
He rushed for over twelve hundred, over two grand, over
(10:26):
thirteen hundred, over one thousand, over twelve like he was
a thousand yard rusher every single year, including a two
thousand yard year up to age twenty eight, and then
never sniffed it again. Yeah, that's not bad though, Oh
he'd he finished yards. Yeah, that's not bad I can
think of. I mean, they're they're probably worse that that
(10:49):
week Kit. There's one hundred percent there's a different level
of a guy coming in Bed Gurley there, that's a
good one. Todd Gurley is the camp when it comes
to what Zeke is looking at, because man, Todd Gurley
was the offensive envy. He was hitting towards, he was
(11:09):
hitting towards being I mean, he had a Hall of
Fame trajectory and then just fell apart, like it never
just vanished. It was over, like twenty six, twenty seven
years old. It was over and no, like he went
to what Atlanta for a cup of coffee and that
was it and never just it's just crazy to think,
and you kind of never heard from him again. No, never,
(11:30):
just kind of vanished. And we never also figured out
what the injury was that he was dealing with, because
a lot of people speculated was it is knee injury,
But we never really got the total explanation as to
what was going on because I remember I saw Todd
Gurley play a game in college before his original knee injury.
(11:50):
Because he suffered a knee injury at Georgia. And I
remember being at a South Carolina Georgia game and Todd
Gurley was better than everybody else on the field. He
broke off a run. I was like he was playing
with kids. He would. I think people forget how good
he was. And that was even after he suffered the
knee injury, which to me just highlights what an incredible
(12:11):
career Frank Gore had because how many what do you
have three d injuries? Yeah, he dealt with a lot,
and he's the third all time leading rusher. Like that's
that's insane. Like Wark done broke through the thirty year mark.
He broke through the thirty he made it thirty thirty one,
(12:32):
three time pro bowler. You're talking about guys like Ricky Williams,
Frank o'harris, Fred Taylor, Curtis Martin, Thomas Jones, Tikey Barber,
John Riggins, Tony Dorset, Emmett Smith, Barry Sanders, and Walter Payton.
(12:53):
Those are thirty year wall breakers. So that's a short list, man. Yeah,
And and you gotta go way back, you gotta go
way back on that list. So I just it's it's
not a position that is forgiving and people know that
it's a warrior's position. Um, and now that it's being
(13:14):
devalued at the way that it is, and it's it's
kind of, you know, in a way tragically just going
in a different direction. Jonas, I just you know, I
look at it now, you know. I don't ask you
a question. Your kid comes to you, he's starting to
play football. He says, Dad, I want to be a
running back. What do you tell him? Be a running back? Okay,
(13:37):
but he says, dad, I want to go to the NFL.
I want to have longevity and I want to make
a good living. I want to be a running back.
Tell me you're not saying, you know, have you thought
about receiver? You know? Have you thought about but you
got you gotta understand longevity and success to me comes
as a person, you know, because that if you if
(13:59):
you're good enough to do what Ezekiel Elliott has done,
if you're good enough to do what Derrick Henry has done,
which my son would probably be a comp to Derrick
Henry based off of his size in real life. Right,
So I would say, don't you think that they did well?
(14:20):
You got that contract, you got in, you got that
contract like you're good. Yeah, Like life is not over
if you don't have a Hall of Fame NFL career,
life is not over. If you're not considered to be
one of the greats that played the position when you
played it, life is not It doesn't begin and end
with that. So the success of it Ezekiel Elliott has
(14:42):
already won. Be clear, he's played with house money at
this point. Yeah, it's And then if you go back
to just the Todd Gurley conversation, so he was he's
played with house money. Out of the league at twenty
six years old, out of the league. Career earnings just
under fIF million dollars. Now obviously after taxes and all that.
(15:02):
But after taxes, my ass, the guy made just under
fifty million dollars and he was retired at twenty six
years old. And if he's got a couple million to
ten million in the bank after a career, I mean,
can't be mad at that. Edrin James, like, Edrin James
is a really interesting guy. You've ever heard him in
(15:23):
interviews because he was so smart about the business. He
wasn't done with his money, so he saved all his
money and then just started investing and he talked to
people around him about investing and all that and that
was really his and that was a guy never had
any issues, never there was no drama, never heard anything,
never heard. He was just good, just just was fantastic.
(15:46):
Made his money and then was really smart about it
and invested it and bought properties and all that. And
he invested in properties that a lot of people didn't want.
He bought a strip club and he and I remember
I heard him in an interview I think it might
have been with Dan Lebotard, and he said, look a
lot of people looked at that and said, well, that's
that's kind of bad optics that you would want to
(16:08):
own a strip club. He's all the way I looked
at it was it's a commercial property, but you can
call it whatever you want. It's a commercial property. You
can drop whatever you want to drop into there. Yes, absolutely,
And and that was how he That's a true story.
Like that's ed. James has done very well. He's doing
very well in life, you know, and that's good for him. Yeah.

So Devin mccordy, recently retired New England Patriot, won a
couple of Super Bowls there, played with his brother there,
his twin brother, which, by the way, those two guys,
(18:16):
I can't tell the difference at all. It's close. If
you've been around them, you can tell the subtleties of
the differences, but it's definitely very close. There are some
twins where you go Ti, Tiki and Ronde, you can
tell them apart pretty easy. Yeah, like that's not difficult.
But yeah, the mccorty's is that's it's a harder one.
That's really hard. But they do look different, like if
(18:38):
you're around them, they definitely have differences. I mean, yeah,
I felt like that was that was a bit much there,
a bit strong. What do you mean, yeah, Jed identical twins.
I don't I don't know what that meant. I mean, Berto,
we're going to sit here and accept this on a Friday,
and thank you. You sure do react to Jonas's request
(18:59):
very quickly. Roberto Flores, what do you mean? I'll be
asking for the cock darn uh button and that joint
be like ten minutes away, like like, am I going
to get it? Am I going to get it? Jesse
hit it? Yeah? Dat Jonas stuff man. Jonas pulls out
that that races, but that joint goes in quick. Them
(19:21):
joints be hanging. I mean you need to hit the races,
but how quickly? Thank you? Thank you? Now? That was quick. Now,
Now that's what I need from here on out. Yes,
don't even let me finish the sentence quick like that
quick hanging. I don't know what you're talking about. I
(19:44):
don't know what you're talking about. Y'all are running a
muck by the way, that's what's going on. Just for
the listeners, Roberto Scott, A movie on that is it's
a been intense for fantastic, Yeah, fantastic. Oh man, palm
(20:10):
It's called Palm Swings. Really, that's a name. Let me
read the description of Palm Swings and not get try
and get fired here on the air. So let's go
ahead and just read the description of what Palm Swings
is according to I AMDB, whatever that's worth. Um. After
(20:36):
moving to Palm Springs, a young married couple puts their
love to the test when they discover their neighbors or swingers.
Let me just confirmed they definitely put it to the
text multiple times so they can make it through this.
That is a strong relationship, you know. It's not like
those guys the teammates on the Yankees years and years
(20:56):
ago who swapped wives and just lived happily ever after.
Here hear that story. A couple of players on the
Yankees back in like the seventies or eighties legitimately traded
wives and everybody just lived happily ever after, just said,
you know what, Yes, where to God? Look that up?
Lee looked that up. There's a story from the seventies
or eighties where two Yankee teammates just said, you know what,
(21:19):
I kind of like that over there. He said me too,
and that was it. Everybody hadn't moved on. I don't
know if they were kids involved, but yeah, everybody just decided, Yeah,
I'd like to try that out for for a lifetime together.
We got any confirmation on that, league, Yeah, seventy three
Fritz Peterson and forgive me if I get this guy's
(21:40):
name wrong, Mike kek kek careful and uh and they
just again, what's their name again? Lee? Can he try
it again? I'll say, Fritz Peterson and Mike Keikitch. Yeah. So, yeah,
they swapped wives and just that was it awesome? So
(22:01):
apparently that is the uh that might be what, you know,
started the trend of swinger movies like Palm Swings, which
is currently on TV two. Unbelievable. All right, so let's
see what we got here. Uh, Devin mccordy, while they
all look alike, says, yeah, thank you, Burno. That's a
(22:25):
great point. Yeah. The Yankee the Yankees not so much.
But but the swap, they kind of the bizarre trade
took place in the summer of nineteen seventy two before
it was made public ahead of the nineteen seventy three season. Yeah,
and they were both pictures. Yeah, they had kids and everything.
(22:46):
I mean it says. The description says, they were close,
you think, like what gave it away? The fact that
they traded families? You know, is that? Is that? How
close they were? Like? How does that happen? I don't know.
You talked through this a little bit. How do you
how do you test drive that? Right? How does that happen?
Like Jonas Jonas, I know we spend a lot of
(23:08):
time together during the radio, and you know, I've just
grown fond of of your missus, and I know you've
grown fond of mine. And you know, what do you think?
How does that happens? Listen to the description on this
So this summer, after a party at the home of
sportswriter More Allen, Marilyn Peterson and Susan Kekich agreed to
(23:34):
go home with the other woman's husband. By October, it
was definitely official the two men had traded houses, but
the news hadn't reached the media. This is goold even
more bizarre. It's drugs that had to be drugs that
would have to until the next year. On March fifth,
nineteen seventy three, Peterson and Kekic made the announcement to
(23:56):
the press, quote, we didn't trade wives we traded live wives.
They swapped not just wives, but children, houses, cars, even pets.
Leave Mac Failed, the general manager of the Yankees, joked,
we may have to call off family day. You imagine
that about it. I mean, how do you trade? Man?
(24:21):
That is what what if that end? And what if
it's turned out on one side to be way better
than the others, and you like, I want my kids back.
And by the way, that is treacherous. That is a
treacherous minefield there, because if you were to say and
dispute any of this, to say, well, I'm definitely not
trade my kids, the wife would say, oh, you'll trade me.
So you kind of have to go all in. You
(24:43):
can't just you gotta you gotta tie everything together. No, No,
that's uh, that's pretty that's wow. Yeah, it had to
be drugs like that party that night, because it had
to be an opening for them to figure out that
(25:04):
this is something that they wanted. Yeah, and and how
can you be I don't know. Maybe they were partying
in Palm Springs. Maybe although they were Yankee The Yankees
have always done spring training though in Florida, so that
that's a bit of a drive to Palm Springs. Uh, man,
maybe it was palm beach. Yeah, there, it was a
(25:26):
palm involved. Yeah, it could multiples um multiples of palms,
that is, that is for sure. Like, I mean you're
taking a family photo and you're holding this child and
it became your child, but it's somebody else's child. Yeah,
and he's holding your child that isn't his child anymore.
(25:47):
It's now his child. Yes, that is whack cheese man.
Those kids is probably I would love to know have
the stories of where are they now at these kids,
they're probably screwed up, by the way. Kind of an
expensive Father's day for those kids too. I think it's
pretty unfair to them, you know, because now you're not
really sure what to do. Two ties, Yeah, two ties,
(26:10):
two bars of soul. It can't be. It can't be
that because they switched kids, so they're not even looking
at the real dad, the biological daddy as their dad anymore. Yeah.
I mean, so these kids must have been small enough
where they was like, look, just take my life, you
take mine, I'll take yours. We're good now, there's there's
(26:31):
no way. By the way, the h that story we
read is Curtesy courtesy of Dangerous minds done that. I
want to give proper credit here. There's no way those
kids came out of it clean. There's no way. Like
if one of those kids isn't running like a multi
room facility brothel somewhere in the country, like, then then
(26:56):
they are a stronger person than me, because I don't
know what I would trust anybody from that point moving forward, Wait,
hold on a second, that's my dad. You're I mean,
you're definitely taking things way too far, like you thought
about trades and this, that and the other, like you've
taken things way too far. Me. No, I'm okay. I
(27:21):
was gonna say no them. Yeah yeah, this is like
like I get making trades in sport. But man, yeah,
you know trade and I could get I could even
I wouldn't do it, but I could. I could even
understand you trading. No, I can't. I can't. I'm not
even gonna let that come out of my mouth. No,
(27:43):
I can't. Like would you trade your dog? No, I
wouldn't trade dog. I wouldn't even trade my dog. I wouldn't.
I wouldn't. I don't. I don't think I would trade
my car. I wouldn't trade Like I'm much I trade
my car. I trade a car if it has a pulse,
if it has like fin it and it's mine, like
it's a part of me. I'm not trading it. I
(28:05):
trade a cat. Cats aren't loyal there, they'll rub up
against anybody's leg. They couldn't care less. Well, I've never
bought a cat, so if I decided to get a cat, though,
that would be my cat. So I would get that
cat knowing that that's what cats are. They're not loyal
that way, but that's still my not loyal cat that
I'm going to be loyal to. God. The La Times
(28:26):
went all in on this. This is just bizarre. That's
a creepy story. So but it did. It did inspire
a movie that ended up being made in twenty twenty.
Oh you guys are watching it right now called Palm Swings. Yeah,
there you go, So so there it is. Do you
guys know that pineapple is the universal sign of like swingers? No.
(28:49):
I accidentally put like a welcome accidentally with a pineapple
on it, like, and I realized after the facts I
got rid of it. I just don't know that everybody
would be walking around with that is common knowledge. Yeah,
I'm gonna try it though. I'm gonna go get a
pineapple door back, and I'm gonna put it right, and
I'm gonna just see if people come knocking out my
door to see what happened. I lets just see, yeah,
(29:10):
and if they look pretty good, I mean I might
even entertain it, you know. Some guys. Some guy walks
in with guy he's got he's got a bathrob on
and some some slides and he knocks go on. He says, hey,
everybody inside, you got a pineapple out front? Right, specifically
upside down pineapple okay, wow, oh my gosh. Now and
(29:31):
and upside down pineapple cake is literally my favorite dessert
outside of it now makes sense? Now I don't want it. Yeah,
Now I may have to look at it way differently
from here on out. I'm not going to I'm not
going to all right, So before because we do want
to pay out the teas here, uh, can we play
this clip from the green Light podcast. This was Devin mccordy,
(29:54):
h former New England Patriot, talking about this his experience,
his experience with Bill Belichick's son on the staff. Take
a listen. The one thing that I've loved about Steve
is honesty, Like I remember, Steve takes over. I think
Pat Graham left flows and moving the linebacker coach, and
Steve said Bill tells him two weeks before the offseason
(30:16):
program starts that he's going to be the safety coach.
Now he's walking in the room. It's me Pat Chung,
Daurn Harmon, Nate Ebner. So he's walking in and we
got all these veterans. I'm older than Steve. Pat's older
than Steve. He played with Duran and he's probably like
the same age as mate. And he walks in there
he goes, Yo, I'll be honest with y'all. I don't
(30:37):
know what the f I'm doing right now. My dad
told me two weeks ago that I wasn't even gonna
have this job, and now I'm just sitting here like
I don't know what, like what's next? Yea. And that
first year we all just worked together. So now when
I look at him, I think his growth has come
because of the honesty not coming in saying like, you know,
(30:57):
my dad's Bill Belichick. I was born to coach, like
I'm gonna do this. Nah. He came in there and
it was like I'm gonna learn from some veterans that
I got in this room, take advantage of the opportunity
that I get, and I'm gonna grow as a coach.
How about that? Just looking nepotism square in the eyes
and saying, screw you. I want to be humble about it.
Everybody wants to bury Steve Belichick and the Belichicks because
(31:20):
you know, they've got a mullet and he makes weird
faces on the sideline. He does make some really weird fas.
But you know what, don't wouldn't you appreciate that? Though?
If you were a player on the Patriots and this
guy came in, really I wouldn't Why because in the mullet, No,
because you shouldn't be there. Why not? I wouldn't appreciate
(31:42):
it because you shouldn't be there. I mean that's I mean,
that's just just you're you're not qualified to be here,
you know, But you don't appreciate that approach that he
walked in. And today I don't know what I'm doing,
but you know, I let's do this together. Let's work together.
I mean, what exactly is Cordy's supposed to say? You know,
what is chunk? What are those guys exactly what are
(32:05):
they supposed to say and what is he supposed to
say about it today? Like, there's no reason to burn
any bridges over it. You're not going to change it.
I mean, it was the same thing. What I mean, Look,
you see that a lot. You see that a lot,
and they eventually, some of them eventually turn into fine coaches,
(32:25):
you know. But you see that a lot. People will
bring their kids around, oh, their quality control, and they'll
be quality control until they get it or until they
feel like it's time to put that kid at at
a different position and coach it, and then they climb
the ranks, you know. I mean, but some of them
turn out to be Kyle Shanahans, you know what I mean,
(32:48):
Like some of them turn out to be uh, you know,
Brian Schottenheimer's. Yeah, you know, so it works out sometimes.
I mean, I don't know how good Belichick sun is.
I mean, maybe maybe his son is a good coach.
I don't know. It could be worse. It could have
swapped families, you know what I mean? Yeah, that mean
that that is the caveat. I guess that's the silver lining.
(33:10):
Sure is it is two pros and a cup of
Joe here Fox Sports Radio LaVar Arrington Jonas knocks in
the year, we're gonna have some over unders coming up.
But for all the latest from around the world of sports,
I'm not swapping him with anybody. Eddie Garcia, Yeah, yeah, goodness.
How about that story, Eddie, Yeah, I've heard that one.
I think I think they I've heard many times. They've
tried to make that into a movie, but it's never
(33:32):
it's never turned out. It would never live up to it.
Like it's it's nobody would believe it's It's no palm swings.
I know, definitely is it. We had some college basketball
last night Sweet sixteen action in the Incidable Tournament, and
third Teedy get Zager got a late three pointer to
knock off the two ced U c l A seventy
nine seventy six, drew Timmy thirty six points, thirteen rebounds
and the win for the Bulldogs. Third Tedy Kansas State
(33:53):
beat the seven seed Michigan State ninety eight ninety three
and overtime. Wildcat's guard Marquise Noel Ncuba tournament record nineteen
is in the win. He also had twenty points. Ninth
seeded Florida Atlantic still alive, beating the fourth seed Tennessee
sixty two fifty five. The Als never had an NCLWA
tournament winning before this year. They now have three so far,
and four seed Yukon handled the eight seed Arkansas eighty
eight sixty five. Huskies have won their three tournament games
(34:16):
so far in this tournament by an average of twenty points.
Four games. In the NBA, Cavaliers a late three point
at knock off the Nets one sixteen to one fourteen.
Clippers win their first game since the Paul George injury
one twenty seven one oh five over the thunder Kawhi
Leonard had thirty two points magic knock off the Knicks
one eleven to one oh six, and the Pelicans bind
Brandon Ingram's first career triple double thirty points eleven boards.
Tennis Sis beat the Hornets one to fifteen to ninety six.
(34:39):
In the NHL, the Predators down the Cracking two one
in a shootout, was the Jets over the Ducks three two,
and the Golden Nights get by the Flames three to two.
Winnipeg still has a five point lead on Nashville and
a six point lead on Calgary for the final wild
card spot in the West NFL News freed running back
Ezekiel Elliott and narrowed down his choices to three teams,
the Bengals, Jets, and Eagles, and then running back Tony
Pollard has signed his franchise Tag Dude just over ten
(35:01):
million dollars pollered than the Cowboys haven't told July seventeenth
to work out a long term deal. Good back from

(36:29):
your mouth is. I know you are lying low life,
can lady Jen it's over under all? Right to lead
the lap? What do we want to do? We want
to even check last week, like, how do we do
last well? It was really it was a really close.
We could all really just came down to one differential,
which was Penn State versus Texas over Under on sixty
(36:53):
seven and a half points for Penn State. Uh they
it was at sixty seven and a half. They scored
sixty six. Of course fell to Texas who plays uh
later today versus Avior so days and so the line
was set at sixty seven and a half and they
scored sixty six, and you were correct picking the under
So you you edged out LaVar last week by one point. Well,
I see, I didn't even care about that. How about
(37:14):
how good are these gamblers and the people that sell,
because they was missing like crazy, if they would have
made half of the ones that they miss, they're they're writer.
I mean, man, you gotta believe that they're ten twenty
points ahead. That I asked it. I had a buddy
who was a bookie. One Thomas said, how how do
(37:35):
you guys get it right? He just said, they it's numbers,
Like you just you look at numbers and trends and
that's what you come up with. But even that they
were that close, like that's crazy. Two free throws, two
free throws, and and their money switches the entire other direction.
That's that's pretty insane. All right? What else we got
leave guys? We had a pair of lower seeds. Of course,
(37:56):
when yesterday day one of Sweet sixteen lower seeds that
win today, that being Friday at one and a half geez,
four games, pair of lower seeds that win today, I'm
gonna go under. I'm gonna go over all rley, all right.
(38:20):
With that said, number of one seeds that advanced to
the final four, we still have Alabama and Houston. Those
are the only one seeds left one and a half
one seeds that advanced to the final four next weekend. Okay,
so I think I'm gonna go under because I think no,
Alabama's got a great matchup they get there, I'm gonna take.
(38:43):
I'm gonna take the over. I'll go with the over
as well too, take the under. Oh it's wait, hey, Berto,
I said something, and then he goes to complete opposite
of what he just said. That's that's I'll allow it.
You're gonna take my pick. I don't want, I don't want.
I don't want it. I don't want I don't want
(39:04):
your pick. I mean I'm gonna take the underway. Thank you.
That is racist. Oh my gosh, all right, Lee, what
oh god, fellas, We're gonna keep this right in Aaron
Rodgers trades by this time next week and a half under.
It's not happening. It's not happening, So I'll take the
under on that too. I wish that it's not happening,
all right. I think it's gonna fall apart. That'd be
(39:28):
so great just for entertainment standpoint, that'd be so great
if it fell apart, and out of spite he retires. Yeah,
let me just tremendous. He'll come back any year. Um
fellas Lamar Jackson tweets that dispute a report by this
time next week one and a half. I'm gonna take
the under. It's gonna be at one. Oh, I gotta agree,
(39:52):
but I don't want to agree. I'll take the over. Yeah,
I'm gonna take the over. Do it different, all right,
Lee last, all right, I gotta I gotta off the wall.
One here for you. John Wick four comes out this weekend.
Ope not saying one, two, three, Well, that's gonna hurt.
That's gonna hurt the that's gonna trend towards the under
on this one. Opening weekend box office numbers projection is
(40:16):
eighty excuse me, U seventy million the over. Is there
anything going on this weekend. That would chase people away
from the theater because the people love John wick Man. Well,

great storyline in the NFL next year, because, according to
ESPN's Adam Schefter Ezekiel, Elliott hopes to make a decision
(01:26):
on where he signs by late next week, and he's
narrowed down to three teams, the Bengals, the Jets, and
the Philadelphia Eagles. Please be the Philadelphia Eagles, just for
the storyline of him having to play the Cowboys twice
a year. Please let it be the Philadelphia Eagles. You
(01:48):
all in on Philly or what? Let's do this? I mean,
I think, like you said, it creates for an interesting storyline,
But I mean, how much of an impact is he
going to have on the game. I mean, let's he
hasn't had a real impact on a game and well
since he's got his new contract, so I don't I don't.
(02:09):
You know, It's like if if you're bringing him in
to be a a situational back, short yardage type of deal. Um,
maybe pass pro sets where he's blocking and protecting the quarterback.
But I just gotta be honest with you, I don't
even know that he's man. I sound like a hater,
(02:31):
and I don't want to sound like a hater. But
I don't even know if he's good enough to be
a relevant story in terms of if he went to
a team like Philadelphia and they have other other than
this Jonas, I will say this information now that might
make it interesting in terms of the exchange of conversations,
(02:54):
you know what. But but Kellen Moore is gone, So
I don't know how much of the play book is
even going to be a playbook that Mike McCarthy is
going to use for this season. You know, I don't know,
but I would almost feel like that would be the
only storyline of note is the familiarity of the offense,
(03:20):
of the scheme, the cadences, all those different things that
Ezekiel Elliott would have, which some of that stuff still
might be the same moving forward. But I mean in
terms of him as a player, you know, he had
a brilliant early start of his career, but for one
reason or another, ever since the contract, he's been you know,
(03:45):
not so much not a franchise running back, that's for certain.
It's um well, I mean listen, you go to Mango Deck,
and as you've clued me in on you and Brady
told me about Mango Dead, I don't know anything about
Mango Dead. Well, I mean, I did a little bit
of research on Mango Deck, and if I was gonna
hold out for a contract, it's right near the top
of the list. I mean, that's that's the place to
go if you're gonna hold out for a contract. So
(04:05):
maybe you know, he's still feeling some of the repercussions
of some of those you know, parties at Mango Deck,
and that's what's led to his decline since getting the contract.
But at least he got the contract. I just the
part that And I know everybody understands it. It's a business,
and I know everybody understands that it's a lot going
(04:26):
on here, lock going on, but I know that everybody
understands it is a business and these guys are going
to do what's best for business. But it still is
funny to me when players leave and go to a
division rival the very next year. I did like and
I think and it was exactly for the same reasons,
(04:49):
is that I wanted to stick it to them. Yeah,
I mean, I think and I think that just the
idea that because we've seen this before DeMarco Murray. Remember
DeMarco Murray, that monster or year with Dallas and one
of the new contract and Dallas just was not going
to give him the contract, not going to give him
the contract, and who did. He signed with Philly and
it didn't work out, and they put him in that
(05:11):
scheme and it probably wasn't the best the best scheme
for him, and it just didn't pan out the way
everybody thought it was going to be. But that had
to partly be from Philadelphia standpoint, we can stick it
to Dallas and from DeMarco Murray standpoint, I can stick
it to Dallas. And I think fans still get caught
up in the fact of loyalty and it's all about,
you know, the team you're currently on, and it doesn't
(05:33):
mean that Zeke's not going to go back to Dallas
one day and they're gonna, you know, maybe you know,
who knows put his his number up in the Ring
of Honor, which I don't see likely, but who knows.
They're going to celebrate him and he's always going to
be a Dallas cowboy. But in the moment He's probably
thinking to himself, f them, like, you don't think I
can play like I wonder what his preference would be
(05:55):
if it's down to those three teams. I wonder if
he would prefer to go to Philadelphia just to stay,
get to Dallas and all his friends over there, including
Dak Prescott, which is one of his best friends. Like,
I wonder if he has enough left in the tank
where he could actually get in the type of shape
where he could be as good as he was before.
(06:20):
I would that would be cure if he came out
and straight was was just a different, different back than
what he has been in years past and in the
last few years, you know, And and then how do
how do we interpret that? So if he was never
going to get motivated before, this is the off season
he gets motivated, right one seems like this is the
(06:45):
this is the off season that he would want to
show everybody. Oh you don't think I complain anymore? Watch this,
But look, man, he's you know, he's been in a
league since twenty sixteen. I mean, you know, he's not.
You know, everyone you know looks at the age. But
the mileage and Ohio State used him a lot when
he was in college. He was the featured back the
first portion of his career in Dallas. He had the
(07:08):
six game suspension for you know, the incident that took
place where you know, he had a domestic dispute or
something like that, so he got pop for six games
his second year of the season. But other than that,
I mean, he hasn't missed a lot of times a
lot of games. I mean, he's only missed one game
in his career and he started majority of those games,
(07:30):
and the one game he missed was last year. It's
just been a steady decline of his product productivity, and
I don't know if it was the offense or just
he doesn't look like he had the same burst because
when Tony Pollard got in the games, it was a
different looking running game than it was with Zee Elliott.
And I don't know what to chalk that up to,
because it's not like offensive line was the issue. They
(07:51):
weren't what they were when he got into the league,
but Dallas still had a functional offensive line that could
move people around. I just don't know what happened. Is
it just this is part of the deal. He's a
running back, and this is the way this goes. And
this is the way this goes when you're running back
at twenty seven years old, because that where we're at.
I you know, I don't know, I don't I'm not sure,
(08:15):
but I do know this when when a back self
life or when his expiration date seems to hit, that
seems to be it. And and and usually you don't
really see mid mid level you know type of guys.
And when I say mid level, you go from being
(08:36):
elite to now you're you're kind of you're okay for
a long time and you just exist for a long
time being okay. It's like either you're elite and you
stay at a level of eliteness for for a pretty
period of time a long time, or it just it
(08:58):
it goes downhill, you fall off a cliff and you'd
like you disappear. You know, guys like Emmett Smith or
Thurman Thomas, you know, uh, Jerome Bettis, you know Fred Taylor. Uh.
You you look at backs that have been elite backs, uh,
Eddie George. They they were pretty elite for for a
(09:20):
long time. And and and then you get guys that
you know, they came in and they got off to
a really really fast start and then it just it
fell off. And there's probably way more than those, and
and you could look him up and and and come
up with a lot of names. I don't even know
(09:41):
any that just pop off the top of my head.
Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson got that monster contract from Tennessee.
Never the same and he had a two thousand yard year.
I mean he I don't I don't recall the last
part of his career, but I mean, like, at what
point did he retire? Like how many years did he
make it through not being elite? You think? Let me
(10:03):
just off the top, I don't think he got the
thirty Like I'm almost positive he didn't get to thirty.
Like just just off the top of my head looking back,
I mean I remember he got the big contract or
did he finished at his career at thirty two? But
he was just doing spot duty Like that wasn't he got?
He rushed for over twelve hundred, over two grand, over
(10:26):
thirteen hundred, over one thousand, over twelve like he was
a thousand yard rusher every single year, including a two
thousand yard year up to age twenty eight, and then
never sniffed it again. Yeah, that's not bad though, Oh
he'd he finished yards. Yeah, that's not bad I can
think of. I mean, they're they're probably worse that that
(10:49):
week Kit. There's one hundred percent there's a different level
of a guy coming in Bed Gurley there, that's a
good one. Todd Gurley is the camp when it comes
to what Zeke is looking at, because man, Todd Gurley
was the offensive envy. He was hitting towards, he was
(11:09):
hitting towards being I mean, he had a Hall of
Fame trajectory and then just fell apart, like it never
just vanished. It was over, like twenty six, twenty seven
years old. It was over and no, like he went
to what Atlanta for a cup of coffee and that
was it and never just it's just crazy to think,
and you kind of never heard from him again. No, never,
(11:30):
just kind of vanished. And we never also figured out
what the injury was that he was dealing with, because
a lot of people speculated was it is knee injury,
But we never really got the total explanation as to
what was going on because I remember I saw Todd
Gurley play a game in college before his original knee injury.
(11:50):
Because he suffered a knee injury at Georgia. And I
remember being at a South Carolina Georgia game and Todd
Gurley was better than everybody else on the field. He
broke off a run. I was like he was playing
with kids. He would. I think people forget how good
he was. And that was even after he suffered the
knee injury, which to me just highlights what an incredible
(12:11):
career Frank Gore had because how many what do you
have three d injuries? Yeah, he dealt with a lot,
and he's the third all time leading rusher. Like that's
that's insane. Like Wark done broke through the thirty year mark.
He broke through the thirty he made it thirty thirty one,
(12:32):
three time pro bowler. You're talking about guys like Ricky Williams,
Frank o'harris, Fred Taylor, Curtis Martin, Thomas Jones, Tikey Barber,
John Riggins, Tony Dorset, Emmett Smith, Barry Sanders, and Walter Payton.
(12:53):
Those are thirty year wall breakers. So that's a short list, man. Yeah,
And and you gotta go way back, you gotta go
way back on that list. So I just it's it's
not a position that is forgiving and people know that
it's a warrior's position. Um, and now that it's being
(13:14):
devalued at the way that it is, and it's it's
kind of, you know, in a way tragically just going
in a different direction. Jonas, I just you know, I
look at it now, you know. I don't ask you
a question. Your kid comes to you, he's starting to
play football. He says, Dad, I want to be a
running back. What do you tell him? Be a running back? Okay,
(13:37):
but he says, dad, I want to go to the NFL.
I want to have longevity and I want to make
a good living. I want to be a running back.
Tell me you're not saying, you know, have you thought
about receiver? You know? Have you thought about but you
got you gotta understand longevity and success to me comes
as a person, you know, because that if you if
(13:59):
you're good enough to do what Ezekiel Elliott has done,
if you're good enough to do what Derrick Henry has done,
which my son would probably be a comp to Derrick
Henry based off of his size in real life. Right,
So I would say, don't you think that they did well?
(14:20):
You got that contract, you got in, you got that
contract like you're good. Yeah, Like life is not over
if you don't have a Hall of Fame NFL career,
life is not over. If you're not considered to be
one of the greats that played the position when you
played it, life is not It doesn't begin and end
with that. So the success of it Ezekiel Elliott has
(14:42):
already won. Be clear, he's played with house money at
this point. Yeah, it's And then if you go back
to just the Todd Gurley conversation, so he was he's
played with house money. Out of the league at twenty
six years old, out of the league. Career earnings just
under fIF million dollars. Now obviously after taxes and all that.
(15:02):
But after taxes, my ass, the guy made just under
fifty million dollars and he was retired at twenty six
years old. And if he's got a couple million to
ten million in the bank after a career, I mean,
can't be mad at that. Edrin James, like, Edrin James
is a really interesting guy. You've ever heard him in
(15:23):
interviews because he was so smart about the business. He
wasn't done with his money, so he saved all his
money and then just started investing and he talked to
people around him about investing and all that and that
was really his and that was a guy never had
any issues, never there was no drama, never heard anything,
never heard. He was just good, just just was fantastic.
(15:46):
Made his money and then was really smart about it
and invested it and bought properties and all that. And
he invested in properties that a lot of people didn't want.
He bought a strip club and he and I remember
I heard him in an interview I think it might
have been with Dan Lebotard, and he said, look a
lot of people looked at that and said, well, that's
that's kind of bad optics that you would want to
(16:08):
own a strip club. He's all the way I looked
at it was it's a commercial property, but you can
call it whatever you want. It's a commercial property. You
can drop whatever you want to drop into there. Yes, absolutely,
And and that was how he That's a true story.
Like that's ed. James has done very well. He's doing
very well in life, you know, and that's good for him. Yeah.

So Devin mccordy, recently retired New England Patriot, won a
couple of Super Bowls there, played with his brother there,
his twin brother, which, by the way, those two guys,
(18:16):
I can't tell the difference at all. It's close. If
you've been around them, you can tell the subtleties of
the differences, but it's definitely very close. There are some
twins where you go Ti, Tiki and Ronde, you can
tell them apart pretty easy. Yeah, like that's not difficult.
But yeah, the mccorty's is that's it's a harder one.
That's really hard. But they do look different, like if
(18:38):
you're around them, they definitely have differences. I mean, yeah,
I felt like that was that was a bit much there,
a bit strong. What do you mean, yeah, Jed identical twins.
I don't I don't know what that meant. I mean, Berto,
we're going to sit here and accept this on a Friday,
and thank you. You sure do react to Jonas's request
(18:59):
very quickly. Roberto Flores, what do you mean? I'll be
asking for the cock darn uh button and that joint
be like ten minutes away, like like, am I going
to get it? Am I going to get it? Jesse
hit it? Yeah? Dat Jonas stuff man. Jonas pulls out
that that races, but that joint goes in quick. Them
(19:21):
joints be hanging. I mean you need to hit the races,
but how quickly? Thank you? Thank you? Now? That was quick. Now,
Now that's what I need from here on out. Yes,
don't even let me finish the sentence quick like that
quick hanging. I don't know what you're talking about. I
(19:44):
don't know what you're talking about. Y'all are running a
muck by the way, that's what's going on. Just for
the listeners, Roberto Scott, A movie on that is it's
a been intense for fantastic, Yeah, fantastic. Oh man, palm
(20:10):
It's called Palm Swings. Really, that's a name. Let me
read the description of Palm Swings and not get try
and get fired here on the air. So let's go
ahead and just read the description of what Palm Swings
is according to I AMDB, whatever that's worth. Um. After
(20:36):
moving to Palm Springs, a young married couple puts their
love to the test when they discover their neighbors or swingers.
Let me just confirmed they definitely put it to the
text multiple times so they can make it through this.
That is a strong relationship, you know. It's not like
those guys the teammates on the Yankees years and years
(20:56):
ago who swapped wives and just lived happily ever after.
Here hear that story. A couple of players on the
Yankees back in like the seventies or eighties legitimately traded
wives and everybody just lived happily ever after, just said,
you know what, Yes, where to God? Look that up?
Lee looked that up. There's a story from the seventies
or eighties where two Yankee teammates just said, you know what,
(21:19):
I kind of like that over there. He said me too,
and that was it. Everybody hadn't moved on. I don't
know if they were kids involved, but yeah, everybody just decided, Yeah,
I'd like to try that out for for a lifetime together.
We got any confirmation on that, league, Yeah, seventy three
Fritz Peterson and forgive me if I get this guy's
(21:40):
name wrong, Mike kek kek careful and uh and they
just again, what's their name again? Lee? Can he try
it again? I'll say, Fritz Peterson and Mike Keikitch. Yeah. So, yeah,
they swapped wives and just that was it awesome? So
(22:01):
apparently that is the uh that might be what, you know,
started the trend of swinger movies like Palm Swings, which
is currently on TV two. Unbelievable. All right, so let's
see what we got here. Uh, Devin mccordy, while they
all look alike, says, yeah, thank you, Burno. That's a
(22:25):
great point. Yeah. The Yankee the Yankees not so much.
But but the swap, they kind of the bizarre trade
took place in the summer of nineteen seventy two before
it was made public ahead of the nineteen seventy three season. Yeah,
and they were both pictures. Yeah, they had kids and everything.
(22:46):
I mean it says. The description says, they were close,
you think, like what gave it away? The fact that
they traded families? You know, is that? Is that? How
close they were? Like? How does that happen? I don't know.
You talked through this a little bit. How do you
how do you test drive that? Right? How does that happen?
Like Jonas Jonas, I know we spend a lot of
(23:08):
time together during the radio, and you know, I've just
grown fond of of your missus, and I know you've
grown fond of mine. And you know, what do you think?
How does that happens? Listen to the description on this
So this summer, after a party at the home of
sportswriter More Allen, Marilyn Peterson and Susan Kekich agreed to
(23:34):
go home with the other woman's husband. By October, it
was definitely official the two men had traded houses, but
the news hadn't reached the media. This is goold even
more bizarre. It's drugs that had to be drugs that
would have to until the next year. On March fifth,
nineteen seventy three, Peterson and Kekic made the announcement to
(23:56):
the press, quote, we didn't trade wives we traded live wives.
They swapped not just wives, but children, houses, cars, even pets.
Leave Mac Failed, the general manager of the Yankees, joked,
we may have to call off family day. You imagine
that about it. I mean, how do you trade? Man?
(24:21):
That is what what if that end? And what if
it's turned out on one side to be way better
than the others, and you like, I want my kids back.
And by the way, that is treacherous. That is a
treacherous minefield there, because if you were to say and
dispute any of this, to say, well, I'm definitely not
trade my kids, the wife would say, oh, you'll trade me.
So you kind of have to go all in. You
(24:43):
can't just you gotta you gotta tie everything together. No, No,
that's uh, that's pretty that's wow. Yeah, it had to
be drugs like that party that night, because it had
to be an opening for them to figure out that
(25:04):
this is something that they wanted. Yeah, and and how
can you be I don't know. Maybe they were partying
in Palm Springs. Maybe although they were Yankee The Yankees
have always done spring training though in Florida, so that
that's a bit of a drive to Palm Springs. Uh, man,
maybe it was palm beach. Yeah, there, it was a
(25:26):
palm involved. Yeah, it could multiples um multiples of palms,
that is, that is for sure. Like, I mean you're
taking a family photo and you're holding this child and
it became your child, but it's somebody else's child. Yeah,
and he's holding your child that isn't his child anymore.
(25:47):
It's now his child. Yes, that is whack cheese man.
Those kids is probably I would love to know have
the stories of where are they now at these kids,
they're probably screwed up, by the way. Kind of an
expensive Father's day for those kids too. I think it's
pretty unfair to them, you know, because now you're not
really sure what to do. Two ties, Yeah, two ties,
(26:10):
two bars of soul. It can't be. It can't be
that because they switched kids, so they're not even looking
at the real dad, the biological daddy as their dad anymore. Yeah.
I mean, so these kids must have been small enough
where they was like, look, just take my life, you
take mine, I'll take yours. We're good now, there's there's
(26:31):
no way. By the way, the h that story we
read is Curtesy courtesy of Dangerous minds done that. I
want to give proper credit here. There's no way those
kids came out of it clean. There's no way. Like
if one of those kids isn't running like a multi
room facility brothel somewhere in the country, like, then then
(26:56):
they are a stronger person than me, because I don't
know what I would trust anybody from that point moving forward, Wait,
hold on a second, that's my dad. You're I mean,
you're definitely taking things way too far, like you thought
about trades and this, that and the other, like you've
taken things way too far. Me. No, I'm okay. I
(27:21):
was gonna say no them. Yeah yeah, this is like
like I get making trades in sport. But man, yeah,
you know trade and I could get I could even
I wouldn't do it, but I could. I could even
understand you trading. No, I can't. I can't. I'm not
even gonna let that come out of my mouth. No,
(27:43):
I can't. Like would you trade your dog? No, I
wouldn't trade dog. I wouldn't even trade my dog. I wouldn't.
I wouldn't. I don't. I don't think I would trade
my car. I wouldn't trade Like I'm much I trade
my car. I trade a car if it has a pulse,
if it has like fin it and it's mine, like
it's a part of me. I'm not trading it. I
(28:05):
trade a cat. Cats aren't loyal there, they'll rub up
against anybody's leg. They couldn't care less. Well, I've never
bought a cat, so if I decided to get a cat, though,
that would be my cat. So I would get that
cat knowing that that's what cats are. They're not loyal
that way, but that's still my not loyal cat that
I'm going to be loyal to. God. The La Times
(28:26):
went all in on this. This is just bizarre. That's
a creepy story. So but it did. It did inspire
a movie that ended up being made in twenty twenty.
Oh you guys are watching it right now called Palm Swings. Yeah,
there you go, So so there it is. Do you
guys know that pineapple is the universal sign of like swingers? No.
(28:49):
I accidentally put like a welcome accidentally with a pineapple
on it, like, and I realized after the facts I
got rid of it. I just don't know that everybody
would be walking around with that is common knowledge. Yeah,
I'm gonna try it though. I'm gonna go get a
pineapple door back, and I'm gonna put it right, and
I'm gonna just see if people come knocking out my
door to see what happened. I lets just see, yeah,
(29:10):
and if they look pretty good, I mean I might
even entertain it, you know. Some guys. Some guy walks
in with guy he's got he's got a bathrob on
and some some slides and he knocks go on. He says, hey,
everybody inside, you got a pineapple out front? Right, specifically
upside down pineapple okay, wow, oh my gosh. Now and
(29:31):
and upside down pineapple cake is literally my favorite dessert
outside of it now makes sense? Now I don't want it. Yeah,
Now I may have to look at it way differently
from here on out. I'm not going to I'm not
going to all right, So before because we do want
to pay out the teas here, uh, can we play
this clip from the green Light podcast. This was Devin mccordy,
(29:54):
h former New England Patriot, talking about this his experience,
his experience with Bill Belichick's son on the staff. Take
a listen. The one thing that I've loved about Steve
is honesty, Like I remember, Steve takes over. I think
Pat Graham left flows and moving the linebacker coach, and
Steve said Bill tells him two weeks before the offseason
(30:16):
program starts that he's going to be the safety coach.
Now he's walking in the room. It's me Pat Chung,
Daurn Harmon, Nate Ebner. So he's walking in and we
got all these veterans. I'm older than Steve. Pat's older
than Steve. He played with Duran and he's probably like
the same age as mate. And he walks in there
he goes, Yo, I'll be honest with y'all. I don't
(30:37):
know what the f I'm doing right now. My dad
told me two weeks ago that I wasn't even gonna
have this job, and now I'm just sitting here like
I don't know what, like what's next? Yea. And that
first year we all just worked together. So now when
I look at him, I think his growth has come
because of the honesty not coming in saying like, you know,
(30:57):
my dad's Bill Belichick. I was born to coach, like
I'm gonna do this. Nah. He came in there and
it was like I'm gonna learn from some veterans that
I got in this room, take advantage of the opportunity
that I get, and I'm gonna grow as a coach.
How about that? Just looking nepotism square in the eyes
and saying, screw you. I want to be humble about it.
Everybody wants to bury Steve Belichick and the Belichicks because
(31:20):
you know, they've got a mullet and he makes weird
faces on the sideline. He does make some really weird fas.
But you know what, don't wouldn't you appreciate that? Though?
If you were a player on the Patriots and this
guy came in, really I wouldn't Why because in the mullet, No,
because you shouldn't be there. Why not? I wouldn't appreciate
(31:42):
it because you shouldn't be there. I mean that's I mean,
that's just just you're you're not qualified to be here,
you know, But you don't appreciate that approach that he
walked in. And today I don't know what I'm doing,
but you know, I let's do this together. Let's work together.
I mean, what exactly is Cordy's supposed to say? You know,
what is chunk? What are those guys exactly what are
(32:05):
they supposed to say and what is he supposed to
say about it today? Like, there's no reason to burn
any bridges over it. You're not going to change it.
I mean, it was the same thing. What I mean, Look,
you see that a lot. You see that a lot,
and they eventually, some of them eventually turn into fine coaches,
(32:25):
you know. But you see that a lot. People will
bring their kids around, oh, their quality control, and they'll
be quality control until they get it or until they
feel like it's time to put that kid at at
a different position and coach it, and then they climb
the ranks, you know. I mean, but some of them
turn out to be Kyle Shanahans, you know what I mean,
(32:48):
Like some of them turn out to be uh, you know,
Brian Schottenheimer's. Yeah, you know, so it works out sometimes.
I mean, I don't know how good Belichick sun is.
I mean, maybe maybe his son is a good coach.
I don't know. It could be worse. It could have
swapped families, you know what I mean? Yeah, that mean
that that is the caveat. I guess that's the silver lining.
(33:10):
Sure is it is two pros and a cup of
Joe here Fox Sports Radio LaVar Arrington Jonas knocks in
the year, we're gonna have some over unders coming up.
But for all the latest from around the world of sports,
I'm not swapping him with anybody. Eddie Garcia, Yeah, yeah, goodness.
How about that story, Eddie, Yeah, I've heard that one.
I think I think they I've heard many times. They've
tried to make that into a movie, but it's never
(33:32):
it's never turned out. It would never live up to it.
Like it's it's nobody would believe it's It's no palm swings.
I know, definitely is it. We had some college basketball
last night Sweet sixteen action in the Incidable Tournament, and
third Teedy get Zager got a late three pointer to
knock off the two ced U c l A seventy
nine seventy six, drew Timmy thirty six points, thirteen rebounds
and the win for the Bulldogs. Third Tedy Kansas State
(33:53):
beat the seven seed Michigan State ninety eight ninety three
and overtime. Wildcat's guard Marquise Noel Ncuba tournament record nineteen
is in the win. He also had twenty points. Ninth
seeded Florida Atlantic still alive, beating the fourth seed Tennessee
sixty two fifty five. The Als never had an NCLWA
tournament winning before this year. They now have three so far,
and four seed Yukon handled the eight seed Arkansas eighty
eight sixty five. Huskies have won their three tournament games
(34:16):
so far in this tournament by an average of twenty points.
Four games. In the NBA, Cavaliers a late three point
at knock off the Nets one sixteen to one fourteen.
Clippers win their first game since the Paul George injury
one twenty seven one oh five over the thunder Kawhi
Leonard had thirty two points magic knock off the Knicks
one eleven to one oh six, and the Pelicans bind
Brandon Ingram's first career triple double thirty points eleven boards.
Tennis Sis beat the Hornets one to fifteen to ninety six.
(34:39):
In the NHL, the Predators down the Cracking two one
in a shootout, was the Jets over the Ducks three two,
and the Golden Nights get by the Flames three to two.
Winnipeg still has a five point lead on Nashville and
a six point lead on Calgary for the final wild
card spot in the West NFL News freed running back
Ezekiel Elliott and narrowed down his choices to three teams,
the Bengals, Jets, and Eagles, and then running back Tony
Pollard has signed his franchise Tag Dude just over ten

can lady Jen it's over under all? Right to lead
the lap? What do we want to do? We want
to even check last week, like, how do we do
last well? It was really it was a really close.
We could all really just came down to one differential,
which was Penn State versus Texas over Under on sixty
(36:53):
seven and a half points for Penn State. Uh they
it was at sixty seven and a half. They scored
sixty six. Of course fell to Texas who plays uh
later today versus Avior so days and so the line
was set at sixty seven and a half and they
scored sixty six, and you were correct picking the under
So you you edged out LaVar last week by one point. Well,
I see, I didn't even care about that. How about
(37:14):
how good are these gamblers and the people that sell,
because they was missing like crazy, if they would have
made half of the ones that they miss, they're they're writer.
I mean, man, you gotta believe that they're ten twenty
points ahead. That I asked it. I had a buddy
who was a bookie. One Thomas said, how how do
(37:35):
you guys get it right? He just said, they it's numbers,
Like you just you look at numbers and trends and
that's what you come up with. But even that they
were that close, like that's crazy. Two free throws, two
free throws, and and their money switches the entire other direction.
That's that's pretty insane. All right? What else we got
leave guys? We had a pair of lower seeds. Of course,
(37:56):
when yesterday day one of Sweet sixteen lower seeds that
win today, that being Friday at one and a half geez,
four games, pair of lower seeds that win today, I'm
gonna go under. I'm gonna go over all rley, all right.
(38:20):
With that said, number of one seeds that advanced to
the final four, we still have Alabama and Houston. Those
are the only one seeds left one and a half
one seeds that advanced to the final four next weekend. Okay,
so I think I'm gonna go under because I think no,
Alabama's got a great matchup they get there, I'm gonna take.
(38:43):
I'm gonna take the over. I'll go with the over
as well too, take the under. Oh it's wait, hey, Berto,
I said something, and then he goes to complete opposite
of what he just said. That's that's I'll allow it.
You're gonna take my pick. I don't want, I don't want.
I don't want it. I don't want I don't want
(39:04):
your pick. I mean I'm gonna take the underway. Thank you.
That is racist. Oh my gosh, all right, Lee, what
oh god, fellas, We're gonna keep this right in Aaron
Rodgers trades by this time next week and a half under.
It's not happening. It's not happening, So I'll take the
under on that too. I wish that it's not happening,
all right. I think it's gonna fall apart. That'd be
(39:28):
so great just for entertainment standpoint, that'd be so great
if it fell apart, and out of spite he retires. Yeah,
let me just tremendous. He'll come back any year. Um
fellas Lamar Jackson tweets that dispute a report by this
time next week one and a half. I'm gonna take
the under. It's gonna be at one. Oh, I gotta agree,
(39:52):
but I don't want to agree. I'll take the over. Yeah,
I'm gonna take the over. Do it different, all right,
Lee last, all right, I gotta I gotta off the wall.
One here for you. John Wick four comes out this weekend.
Ope not saying one, two, three, Well, that's gonna hurt.
That's gonna hurt the that's gonna trend towards the under
on this one. Opening weekend box office numbers projection is
(40:16):
eighty excuse me, U seventy million the over. Is there
anything going on this weekend. That would chase people away
from the theater because the people love John wick Man. Well,
the mandess. I'll take the under. I think it's just
