How bad at the Dublin Destroyers back they said that
he was Lamar Braden. Uh Jackson Quinn. Yeah, just disappeared,
(01:28):
they said, they said you didn't have an agent, that
you were having negotiation issues with corporate. No, No, that's
rom was out there. No. We we welcome the new
addition to the family. We got our first boy. Yeah. Yeah,
so um how that We're just we were just kind
(01:49):
of getting getting adjusted to a new normal with with
what is now four kids instead of three. But uh no,
we we just needed a little time, a little time
to take it all in. How's it feel to have
a boy? Man, It's cool, It's awesome. I actually think
it's it's probably like everyone's asking me that, and I
M I always go back and I'm like, well, you know,
(02:09):
Alicia's really been like yearning for that mother's son connection,
and you know, she spends a lot of time with
him right now. So I think she feels it more
than I do. But they'll definitely come a time where
I'm sure it'll all have that moment. I mean, obviously
when he was born I did, but as of right now,
like she spends so much time with him one on one,
(02:30):
I don't really get quite as much of that connection
for that feeling. But she for sure has said that
she does. Yeah, you will, you will Yeah that the
bigger he gets and the more he turns into a person,
it all it's pretty cool. And I will say the
real story is much better than some of the stuff
LaVar was trying to claim. You were gone for life.
(02:52):
It was horrible, man, the things that was coming out
last week. Little LaVar at one point said, you uh,
you know it was a p d V. I wish
you knows. My voice is still not Our family has
been sick for like a month month. Here's what I'll
say right now. Okay, I'm not one for conspiracy theories. Okay,
(03:15):
whatever the hell is going around right now, it has
to be man made. Like, I've never been sick this
long in my life. In my life, I've never dealt
with anything like this. I've had three kids for the
past three years. We've had three kids. We've never gotten
sick like this. Anyone out there who's doctors telling you like,
(03:35):
oh yeah, this is just this year's flu, this is
just this year's cold, bs, this is something different, Like
our bodies are under attack. I've talked to other people
about this too. They're like, we haven't been healthy, like
since the start of twenty twenty three. Like someone's been
sick in our family like every other week. It is unbelievable.
(03:56):
Like I don't know what's going on, but it's the aliens.
They're they're pipe. It's something man. Yeah, watching a bunch
of UFO stuff. So yeah, and you know, all of
a sudden, those are real. By the way, I don't
know if you guys know that or that now that now,
all of those those things always made I wake up
every morning and see a UFO, so you know, yeah, yeah,
(04:26):
well listen, we're happy to have you back, and congratulations.
And it was Jonas's fantasies of what you talking about.
I'm sure you know I know how this goes. Yeah,
down Jonas Lane and you know, and he tells everybody
what what's going on, and yeah, there's so much amatry
and so many details to it. Listen. It's a way
(04:47):
to see who's listening and how often they listen, because
if you make up a different lie every single day,
uh you know that, like who's been around on what day?
Who heard the second lie? Who heard the third lie?
And so we started p D suspension and then we
went to you were boycotting it. There was a contract
dispute thrown in there, hence the Lamar Jackson stuff. So look, no,
(05:10):
I do have an update on that though. Oh yeah,
what's up. Well, well, what's his last name. It's it's
Ken something, right, That's that's the guy lives that's helping out. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he doesn't live too far from us. And apparently he's
been he's been selling a bunch of home gym equipment, right,
I was unaware of this, but uh yeah, I looked
into a little bit deeper. He's been selling a lot
(05:30):
of this, this home gym equipment. But the odd thing
about it being a home gym equipment is he's advertised
that you take it with you, so you can take
it into like a field or to a park or something,
which doesn't really make it a home gym anymore. It
kind of makes it more of like a mobile gym.
But I digress um that situation. Wow, yeah, I mean,
(05:51):
why don't we just talk about it? What the hell's
going on? Man? Because now, like the latest thing with
Jeremy Fowler, a ESPN was saying that the Ravens are
telling free agents like, yeah, you know, we'd like to
have Lamar back, but we can't fully commit to it,
and you know, we're just not quite what you think.
Like the guy's got, you know, some guy with a
(06:12):
mobile gym equipment doing his negotiations and then reaching out
and every time Lamar wants to deny any of this stuff,
he just goes to Twitter with some face emoji. Like
the whole thing is bizarre. The whole thing's weird. I
just I don't see how this gets resolved and everybody's
on the same page and it's kumbaya when they get
into the season. I don't see it. There's there's only
(06:35):
one reason why Lamar Jackson would would be able to
come back and make it through this season, and that's
the fact that he plays them the one year not
exclusive franchise tag and it's as much money as he's
ever made his career to play for one year. You know,
I think when you're at his point, you've played now
five years. He was the thirty second draft pick of
(06:56):
that class, so they picked up the fifth year option.
They get all that. But now you find yourself, and
it's not non exclusive franchise tag that he'll be able
to double the money that he's made. That's got to
be still enticing enough for him to come back and play,
regardless of the circumstances with the Ravens, because we've seen
all this works out. If he doesn't come back, the
(07:18):
contract just tolls for another year. And so what a
year from now we get a bunch of teams who
are like, you know what, we're gonna need of a quarterback,
and yeah, let's kick the tires and old Lamar Jackson.
Let's just let's just see where things go. I don't
know if it's collusion or not. I don't really care
if it is, because the NFLPA is not going to
stop it, and you know, there's no way of really
(07:39):
proving it. But at this point, the NFL is spoken.
No one's submitted an offer sheet. The Baltimore Ravens, who've
drafted him and tried to develop and to help him,
brought in a new OC this offseason, drafted a first
round wide receiver and Rashad Bateman previously. I mean they're
looking at it like, dude, what more can we do? Well?
(08:00):
More can we do to support you? At this point?
You turned out one hundred and thirty three million dollars,
the second most guaranteed at signing of any contract ever
in the NFL, and you're not willing to commit to us.
So at this point, like, yeah, Like I could see
how there'd be a fractured relationship on both sides, but
we know this doesn't really go anywhere because I don't
think a year from now, if he sits out, there's
(08:20):
gonna be a willing team to go bid for his services.
Like everyone wants to talk about the MVP season, it
was years ago. I mean, the Packers are moving on
from here and Rodgers after two MVP seasons, they were
just waiting for the year he didn't hit the MVP
and they're moving on. So I just I don't I
don't think this is really going to work out the
way he had hoped. He should have taken the offer
(08:40):
they'd given him. It's fractured. My relationship to the scenario,
the situation, all of it, Like, I'm are you tired
of I'm tired. I'm so tired, Like I'm so I
am so this situation fatigued, and and there's so like
there's no more angles, Like I just gotta be honest,
(09:01):
there's just no more angle. Let's try and come up
with a different one every day. You know I can
do it. I mean, I just I just don't have
the mental capacity or the emotional stability to this this
situation to continue to try to figure it out. You
did you think it was gonna end up like this?
Because I thought for sure that, oh, they're going to
(09:22):
figure out a way to make this work. Both sides
want to be there. They love Lamar Jackson, he loves
the Ravens. He loves football too much. They're going to
figure out a way for this to work. We're now
at the point to where he's got some guy slinging
Jim equipment in Brady's neighborhood parks that's now calling teams
to try and see if he can get an offer
sheet for him. It's just little things bizarre. The first
(09:45):
of all, I thought there would be a team that
would actually take a shot at it, take a stab
at it, like nobody, nothing at all at all. Yeah,
there you go, you Oh no, nobody. So I mean
the market has spoken and like you said, for good
(10:07):
or for worse, for colluding or not colluding. I'll put
it to you like this, I can't believe that there's
not a franchise that if they really really want it,
Lamar Jackson, It's like, yeah, I'm not doing it because
the other guys aren't doing it. They don't want to
do it, like Cleveland didn't take that advice. Cleveland didn't
seem to play by the colluding rules. So I just
(10:29):
don't you know, for me, I'm so sick of it.
I'm sick of it and honestly I want to get to,
you know, the draft, Like there were some really cool
pro days, nice nice pro days, performances and stuff like that.
Like this to me right now, like fighting over this,
it's like it's not going anywhere. You know, you know
(10:52):
that the relationship is damaged, regardless of if they can
salvage it or not. Maybe that becomes the biggest storyline
moving forward, but it is like you are where you
are right now, so you better look at where your
feet are, and you better start making some realistic decisions
where your feet are not where you want them to be.
(11:14):
I wonder who's helping them at this point, because if
I'm the nfl PA, I'm ticked off like they were
giving him some consulting or helping him towards the end
as we got closer to the deadline, and now you've
got to be thinking, Okay, hold on a second, we're
helping you. And yet you go to this guy slinging,
(11:35):
I don't know, shake weights out there at fields all
across Jonas's home parks. Yeah, just shake weights to everyone.
Everyone gets a shake weight. But you want to bring
this guy in to do your negotiating, like yeah, kick tires,
like like we're we're not gonna help you anymore. I mean,
that's how I'd feel like you went to such an
(11:57):
unprofessional route, Like I know people in the media who
got a call from this guy who are trying to
get through in touch with teams. Really yoh, yeah, you
can connect the dots on that one. But that's how
sleazy the thing's gotten. Like it's it's so bad and
you're going get an agent, Just get an agent, for
(12:18):
the love of God, Get an agent, like, let them
take their small fee. Dude, it's at most three percent.
You can probably negotiate them down to one percent, get
an agent, and go get nine figures. It's unbelievable. By
the way, in the same Laramie Tounsil just got another deal.
I don't think he has an agent. Roquan Smith, his
teammate doesn't have an agent. He got a deal done.
(12:41):
They're not. But here's the problem. When you say that
you're misrepresenting them. It's not true that they don't have
an agent. They're quote unquote representing themselves. They have someone
who's negotiating with them and for them. They have an attorney.
They have someone else who's there. They don't have a
Ken whatever the hell his name is, Slinging Jim Equipment.
(13:02):
They have someone who's certified by the nfl PA who's
looking at this stuff and a part of it. Every
player that wants to say, no, I negotiated my own deal, No,
you didn't. I know plenty of guys who are agents
who have been giving advice on the side for a
lot of these players. They do it for like cloud
or to look smart, and the reality is there's still
(13:24):
people helping them and there's no shading nothing, there's nothing
wrong with that. It's nothing wrong with it, but the
media perpetuates it like Jonas just did right there. It's
not true. There's no truth to that. Okay, Well do
you think that it is true that Kenny Bowflex at
least got them to purchase, you know, a two month
supply of his gym equipment. Yeah, just like a trial run,
(13:46):
getting faces of those with the fitness guy who's like
from austraa with the long hair. You know I'm talking about. No,
what are you talking about? It was a gazelle. Look
it up. Where was Lee on this? Yeah? Gazelle? Let
me let tell me the thing that you pull, you
sit on and it looks like you you like you
(14:07):
have something somebody with you? Is then a rowing machine? Yea,
well no, it's different than that. It's a cardio. It
moves with you. It's it's like an elliptical. Yeah, okay,
I think I think I know what you're talking. Yeah,
I don't know. I mean personally, I'm cinder blocks to
little never come back. Look up the gazelle with the
gazelle glider with Tony Little. All right, Tony Little Gazette.
(14:31):
That's what That's the Southern California version of Ken, not
the South Florida version of it. Tony little Gazelle. So
let me just taking a look at Tony Little and
let's see. Let's see whether or not it's not popping up.
And we're so late you would let him negotiate up well,
because the wife and the Wi fi here is perfect.
Come on, let's take right now. It's not coming up, Tony,
(14:56):
It's not coming up. Nothing showing up. All right, let
me see anything. See. Oh, you guys are looking at
something else, aren't you? The gazelle glider? Let me see it? Okay, yeah,
I see that. I just had a sentence to you. Yeah,
it's like it's like your skiing. But did you see
Tony little though? Did you see Tony doing it? Yeah?
Tony looks like he's a prob. Yeah. Yeah. The Gazelles
(15:19):
like the Billy blanks of Gazelle. Ye exactly, the exactly
forward hat, long hair underneath. He's a Southern California verse.
I got news for you. If that guy knocked at
my door and said, hey, you think about signing my
guy to an opera sheet without even finishing the sentence,
I say, yes, if I can get a couple of
these little slalom machines that he's slinging in a field
somewhere in Fort Lauderdale, Fantastic starts slinging home workout units. Yeah. Today,
(15:43):
that's how it is. You guys seen it though. It's
like this little I don't know, suitcase, Kareney case. They
got some shirts off. The ladies got their shirts off. Yeah.
People are just slatting and glattening on these gazelles, the
little gazelle glider. All right, it is two pro, two
(16:03):
pros and a cup of Joe Fox Sports Radio LaVar Errington,
Brady Quinn Jonas knocks with that. You can hang out
with us as always on the iHeart Radio app. So

We've also got you in and you out. It's all
yours as we go all the way up again until
nine am Eastern times, six am Pacific right here on FSR.
(16:25):
But coming up next though, who would have thought? Who

We'll tell you why that is. It's yours here on FSR.
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio A. It
(16:49):
is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you coming up
in about twenty minutes from now, another edition of incase
you missed it. This isn't my normal microphone. I just
I'm trying to figure out why I can't pull it
back any further. This is not the normal one. Cool,
because I think the other one broke over there. I
usually use this one, right, I think, so, yeah, the
(17:11):
other one broke. No, this is this the one I
usually use. I don't know, this is the one I
usually use. I don't know why. Something feels wrong? Well,
no like that. But if you look over there to
your right, that one snapped. So I think that's the
one you use? Yeah, the same one? Is it the
same one? Yeah? Something don't feel right? Don't just just
(17:36):
don't feel right. We gotta like point it towards your face, like,
oh jeez, no, that's me. What do you mean? It's
definitely not bad. It's this knee. This knee right here,
it's like my knee. It's the Doppler Levar's knee. By
(18:00):
the way, Is it gonna rain this week? Can you tell? Yeah?
You see, I'm been in studio. Yeah, I was over
the rain on Wednesday, is it? Yeah? Well not tomorrow.
I won't be here, Yeah, seriously, I won't. I won't.
I won't be in the city state traveling. Yeah, travel well.
(18:24):
Coming up in twenty minutes from now from the Tirak
dot com studios, we are going to have maybe the
most appropriate moment in all of sports. It took place
over the weekend, so you'll hear from a person involved
in this situation. That'll be happening again twenty minutes from
now here Fox Sports Radio. But uh, you know a
lot of people were concerned before the NCAA tournament started.
You know, no North Carolina um duke without Mike Chevsky,
(18:47):
what it's gonna look like. Have no fear. The powerhouses
and name brands are here. Make some noise for Florida Atlantic,
San Diego State, Miami, and Yukon. Oh there's one who
are who are in more. By the way, if you
ever wanted to get a ticket to go to a
Final four in the history, this is the one you
(19:08):
should get. For about twenty bucks. You could probably play
like two minutes to the second half on one of
these games. Ay man, I'm happy for this team. Three
of the four have never been here ever. Ever. And
by the way, Florida Atlantic, who you know, it's close
to where I live. It's a decent sized school for enrollment.
But I mean, honestly, the most buzz that ever got
(19:31):
was when Lane Kiffin came here. I mean I sort
of caught that completely changed the trajectory of that school.
Um you know it. It became a place now where
recruits in South Florida look to go there for football, basketball.
You know, not not a ton of the kids are
from this area, but it's it's become a destination. But
(19:51):
it's so cool to me to see like a program
in a school make it where I'm like, man, that's
a thirty minute drive like that. That's it's just it's
it's a small school story. It truly is a Cinderella.
I don't know if they'll ever make it back again,
but I mean my daughters were chaired for him because
we've been there before, we go to the Boca Bowl,
(20:13):
we've seen some of their football games. I was excited
for them, and then just to have Miami make it too.
It's like the South Florida's the mecca of college basketball
right now. I mean, it's it's unbelievable. It really is
when you take into account two of those schools that
have never been there before. Who knows if they'll ever
make it back, but or now have a chance of
potentially scoring off to win a national championships. Pretty cool.
(20:36):
What's the Burger place you guys go? Do near? They check? Yeah,
that's not even the end of it. Like the Division
two national championship was Nova Southeastern, which is down here.
Like they're doing it like multiple levels they've got. It's
like the basketball just imps Miami team doing well too. Yeah.
The girl they were in the Elite. I didn't check
(20:57):
to see if they made the final four. I think
they did. Yeah, I mean I'm pretty sure that oh
did they lose. It's unfortunate. I mean, lady Berto was happy,
yeah to say that. Yeah, what was that about? Berto? Well,
Jonas has been looking at the Cavendar twins, so yeah,
oh I have Oh yeah, yeah buddy, Oh yeah that's where.
That's who those text messages are from. Let me just
(21:18):
check the receipt. Okay, yes, all right, that's fine. Got
God forbid my eyes work, God forbid. I mean they
did they play? Yeah, one of them? One of them starts.
I just randomly saw that pop up on my my
my feet, and I was like, what you guys think
(21:39):
about this? Like this is ridiculous. Yeah, someone should be
advising them. They need to hire an agent. You know,
they're being misrepresented too. Great point, they've got an agent,
they're in deserving of of of a contract. So in
a way, Lame Kiffin is the reason why one of
(22:02):
these schools is in the final four. Absolutely, how about
I mean, I'll just put it this way. When I
used to go to FAU games before he got there,
not really a buzz. Okay. When I went there the
next time, I was like, oh, okay, like this is
this is a crowd, like this feels like a football environment.
It just it felt completely different. It looked completely different,
(22:28):
like there were dudes knocking dudes out on the field,
getting thrown out of games for targeting, but the entire
place that had like juice. And I mean, I'm not
like sitting here telling you that, like that's the way
football should be played, but it just had an entirely
different feel to it. It felt like they found their identity.
(22:48):
Like that's what it felt like, and it was. It
was pretty cool to watch that whole, you know process
and if you see the way to players respond to
the coach, Dusty May seems like a good dude and
he's been there kind of building that whole thing for
a while. I remember when Jim Laranega got hired by Miami.
We had him on as a guest and I remember
(23:09):
him saying that because they started to win a little
bit and started to build the program. But he obviously
took George Mason to the Final four and that's what
led to him, you know, getting the job. He did
a great job there and then got hired at Miami.
And he said that when he first got there that
sometimes he knew if they were bringing in a recruit
for a visit, the only reason the recruit was coming
(23:30):
to visit is because the parents wanted a little bit
of a VC, Like he knew some players they had
no shot at getting, but the parents wanted to come
to Miami. Well that's that's how far that program's come
to see you. Yeah, I got to know him when
he was at Nova. Mason a super cool dude. Y'all
saw him breaking it down. Yeah, yea, he knows out
(23:53):
a coach. I'll tell you that there's a decent, cool
little area because you know, Soaka Smart was in the
area as well, Like there was a nice little low
will run I'm going on. But anyway, good luck to him. Man.
I thought that's pretty cool that they did well. But
I gotta be honest if I'm being no. We had
it in the notes as to you know, is this
(24:14):
a good thing or a bad thing for college college basketball?
You know, I don't think it's good. Oh no, sorry,
I mean, I'm happy for those teams, but I just don't.
So what does that lead you to think? Then? Do
you think there should be expansion? Because because it took
me to this thought, if FAU was a thirty plus
win team, I think they were like thirty one in
(24:34):
three or something like that. What's to say that another
another team in that stratosphere couldn't do the same thing
because without winning their conference, I don't know that FAU
would have gotten in. Yeah, And so I kind of
look at it and go, yeah, maybe that makes a
case for expansion, or maybe we should do away with
looking at some of these other like middle of the road,
(24:57):
you know, bubble teams from bigger conference and just say, yeah,
they don't deserve they didn't play well enough. Like basketball,
it's the talent and everything else is a little more
equated amongst the three hundred teams. Then I think you
get when you're talking about football, that is a big
there's a big difference between There is a big difference,
and I mean there's a big difference in terms of
(25:19):
if you don't have the horses, right like if you
don't have a line of scrimmage that and that's generally
what separates the big, the bigs, the power fives from
the rest is that you're just not going to get
the horses up front that you would get, you know,
being at of Alabama or at a Georgia or out
(25:39):
of Michigan or Notre Dame. And and you get you
get to look at it and you say, you're not
like TCU is a surprise, Like if you really think,
if you're looking at it from a purity standpoint, looking
at football, it's like, Man, TCU found their way to
the championship game. How many people thought that TCU was
(26:02):
gonna win that game? You know what I mean? Like
it's kind of like it kind of for me, I
would have been more interested seeing Ohio State square up
against Georgia. Now I like the fact that TCU made
it because that that gives hope, like go to TCU,
don't don't go to the same schools, you know what
I mean. So you would have Ohio State or Michigan
(26:25):
Georgia in the NATI. It's something to that effect. I mean,
I know how State played Georgia, but I'm just saying
that's that type of matchup. I want to see best
on best and and and With college basketball, I don't
even know it's about the expansion because the bottom line
is whether we expanded it or not. Those teams are
winning games like they're winning the games, like they're knocking
(26:47):
out one seeds and two seeds and three seeds. So
it's I just don't find myself interested in watching teams.
I don't know. Gotta start gambling, man, But well, okay,
can I ask you this though, do you really know
any of the teams anymore? I know the brand, and
then once I know the brand, then the player becomes
(27:08):
relevant to me. Like it's like, oh, I'm watching Duke.
It's like I watch them on and off during the year, right,
and it's like, Okay, this guy is pretty good. Then
we get into the tournament and then you start really
knowing their names. You know. It's like kind of how
historically has been. I've been happy to hear about the
Cinderella stories. We always talk about. Here's the Cinderella teams
that made it to the Sweet sixteen. Here's a Cinderella
(27:30):
team that made it in through to the Elite eight.
Oh my gosh, there's a Cinderella team that made it
into the Final four. I'm good with a Cinderella team.
What about four of them? Nah? With it? Kind of
I'm out. I hate to say it. There are two
different discussions, right, like, you know, is this the best
(27:50):
way to determine your national champion? And that's one discussion,
and you probably say no because nothing you do in
the regular season and even in conference tournament play allows
you to have home court advantage, Like you go into
it as a number one seed, and you don't get
to play at home court at any point in the tournament.
(28:13):
And I think that's one of the things that probably
bothers me or makes me, you know, think it's it's
a much more difficult path to go. But let's be
real too, Like when you have a sudden death one
and done scenario, you allow a team like FAU to
get hot, stay hot and be able to make a
run and get to this point. So I kind of
(28:36):
look at it and just go I think the format
of what the tournament is and if you expand it,
by the way, it's only going to make that more
likely we don't see a number one seed make it.
But I also think like this there was an outlier year.
We saw a bunch of movement at number one. This
year there wasn't like a consistent number one team, And
so good for these teams. Coaches, good these teams. Yeah,
(28:59):
always good for him. I don't know. I don't want
to be a detractor to the success of these programs
because I think that's the parody of the tournament. I mean,
you want I want to see competition, and we have
seen some very competitive games, make no mistake about it.
That's not my my point. But my point is is
that I just I enjoyed seeing North Carolina ending up
(29:23):
matching up against you know, Michigan. I enjoy seeing Ohio
State or Villanova or Georgetown matching up against another team,
you know, against a Purdue, or you like Coca Cola
not Shasta Cola. What you're saying, yeah, yeah, you gonna
win on this. I mean to me, I'll watch it.
(29:46):
I'm the common But this is why I try and
tell people, if you don't like these matchups or these teams,
start gambling. It's the ultimate condiment sitting on the table,
the food's a little dry there it is, Sprinkle a
little money on it, and next thing you know, the
game goes to another level and just start gambling all
this stuff. This is why sports betting is going to
(30:07):
become so important, because you all of a sudden turn
a bunch of games. It probably you don't care about
whether San Diego State or Florida Atlantic or any of
these other teams, and all of a sudden, you got
a little bit of cash on it. You're throwing a
little bit on it courtesy Draft Kings, the Grant Hall,
who's the Christian Latoner or to Bobby Hurley, I mean,
Bobby Cares. It all pays the same. I mean it does,
(30:28):
and I just feel like you're creating a different connection
to the game because of the money aspect of it.
I'd like to watch it and like I want to, like,
you know, Glenn Robinson, like the big dog, like Larry Johns. Yeah,
but but that's a byproduct too of where college basketball's at. Yeah,
Like it's hard. It's hard to have those players when
(30:50):
they're one and duns. On top of that, they can transfer. Um,
I'm trying to think which one of the teams that
was playing there, Like, yeah, none of these guys were
here at the beginning of the season, Like it was
an entire it's Kansas State. I think their entire team
knowing that, knowing that began their career at Kansas State.
They all eventually transferred. The Marquis Nola is awesome. What
(31:10):
a study. Geez, absolute stud I mean, and guys are
coming like where did John Murant come from? What school
did he come from? Marquette? Yeah, it wasn't wasn't it
wasn't Marquette, Mury, Murray State, Murray State. Then you got
like a Davidson with with Steph Curry, And I mean,
there's guys that aren't going to the traditional blue blood
(31:31):
powerhouse basketball programs and are super megastar players in the league.
But I don't know, I just feel like there's I
feel like these these young boys these days are missing
out on the experiences that we were able to have
when we were growing up because you knew the matchups,
you knew what was coming, you knew it was Duke
(31:51):
versus U and LV. You knew who was playing in
those games, Like you knew when Arkansas had their run
and they were playing against you know, Duke, whoever they
were playing against. You knew the lineups and we knew them.
Do you remember Bobby Hurley? Yes, I has brothers coaching. Yeah. Yeah.
By the way, Yukon looks by far and away the best,
(32:14):
like they look so good, I don't think ter blue
blood team, Like that's a blue blood I don't have.
I didn't pick one of these teams to win more
than I think one or two games. Max. I think
I had Yukon and Miami going to the sweet sixteen.
None of these teams I had anywhere clothes before. To
your point, Yukon is a blue blood team. They had
(32:37):
three players who they knew coming the season. We're gonna
be on that team on the roster, the rest for
freshmen and transfers. Like that's just how college basketball is.
What we experienced with those duke teams, North Carolina teams,
that Kentucky teams. You're never going to see that again. Guys,
just guys hanging around at Kentucky that they didn't make
(32:59):
it like they were supposed to be a one. It done.
Next year's class is the most talented class because you're
kids there are pretty much you're pretty much real Wait wait,
hold on wait, you're twenty years old, Crows, you're going
to class today. Oh my gosh, what happened to you?
Pretty that is pretty wild to think of. For better
(33:20):
tighten up and worked out. Yeah, you're about to get
replaced by that's seventeen year old. Yeah, that's what's real life.
It's two pros and a cup of Joe. Here. Fox
Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knoxie. We're gonna
have another edition of incase you missed it coming up
here shortly, but for all the latest from around the
world of sports. I mean talk about a one seed
(33:41):
Eddie Garcia, Yeah, talk about it. Yeah, thank you, That's
what I was hanging out. Well, the final four said,
as you guys were talking about in college basketball, and
three of the final four are there for the very
first time. It includes fifth seed in San Diego State,
who got by the sixth seed Creighton fifty seven fifty six.
There was a controversial foul call with us and two
seconds to go on this one, and that provided San
(34:02):
Diego State with the winning margin at the free throw line.
Aztecs going to the Final four to face another first
time team in the Final four. That's the ninth seed
Florida Atlantic. Meanwhile, fifth seed in Miami, Florida beat the
two seed Texas eighty eight to eighty one. Hurricanes did
it by rolling down thirteen points in the second half
to get the win. And they're also another one of
those teams going to their first ever Final four. They'll
take on the four seed Yukon in the other national
(34:24):
semi final. Now, let's go back to Brady Quinn, the
mart Ryton and Jonas Knox Attirac dot Com, Fox Sports

Happy Monday to everybody. In case you missed this, he Lee,
(37:19):
Hey guys, Hey Brady, Hey LaVar, Hey Jonas, guys. In
case you missed this, The Mavericks are spiraling. They just
lost to the Hornets for the second time in three days.
Luca got his sixteenth tech and earned himself a suspension.
Kyrie Irving got a fan ejected. In fact, here's some
sound from Kyrie Kyrie talking about the incident. Just called
(37:39):
me on my name, so I just had to make
sure I looked him out of eye, said he would
say it to my face. You know a lot of
fans say things, can you turn your head or say
it in the crowd because they can get away with it.
But majority of the time I talk a look a
fan in the face and see if they really want
to say that to me. You know. So he yelled
in I handled it. Yeah, you have security throwing him out.
And in case you missed this, what happen was he
(38:00):
what hat was you wearing? LeVar? He had to watch
it to rid Um? Yeah, the old logo. I'm not
going to use it in that that term when I
played for when I played for the team, they were
the watching to Ridskins. That was the hat he had
on the team I played. I think that's why he
got ejected. It's possible. It's possible they related what him
(38:24):
calling Kyrie out of his name was to him wearing that.
Can I ask this, He's as talented as they come,
as far as like point guard, shooting or what are
you gonna call him? He's as talented as they come.
Outside of the Cavs team, Like what team has he
joined where he has helped them? Well, he's like elevated them. None.
(38:45):
I don't know that he even helped elevate the Cavs.
I mean, he played well, but did he elevate it.
It's the same story. He gets to a place and says,
you know, I finally feel like I've I've found my
spot here and I finally feel and it's all optimism
and everybody's happy. And he plays nice for a couple
of games, and then there's an incident or a moment
and that team usually falls apart. I just I don't
(39:05):
know how how many more times can it happen before
people just acknowledge Yeah, he's a really talented guy, but
he's a pain in the ass, Like I just, I mean,
there's no real other way to look at it, because
Dallas seemed like they were that was a team. Ah man,
if you just get Lucas some help. Okay, here it
is and here it is, and they're just falling apart.
(39:27):
So this is help, that's it. Help hello, But it
is to stop getting them texts. It is unfortunate though,
that Dan Snyder's team was in the news again. They
did make an appearance, Yeah, yeah, they did. Fox Sports

How bad at the Dublin Destroyers back they said that
he was Lamar Braden. Uh Jackson Quinn. Yeah, just disappeared,
(01:28):
they said, they said you didn't have an agent, that
you were having negotiation issues with corporate. No, No, that's
rom was out there. No. We we welcome the new
addition to the family. We got our first boy. Yeah. Yeah,
so um how that We're just we were just kind
(01:49):
of getting getting adjusted to a new normal with with
what is now four kids instead of three. But uh no,
we we just needed a little time, a little time
to take it all in. How's it feel to have
a boy? Man, It's cool, It's awesome. I actually think
it's it's probably like everyone's asking me that, and I
M I always go back and I'm like, well, you know,
(02:09):
Alicia's really been like yearning for that mother's son connection,
and you know, she spends a lot of time with
him right now. So I think she feels it more
than I do. But they'll definitely come a time where
I'm sure it'll all have that moment. I mean, obviously
when he was born I did, but as of right now,
like she spends so much time with him one on one,
(02:30):
I don't really get quite as much of that connection
for that feeling. But she for sure has said that
she does. Yeah, you will, you will Yeah that the
bigger he gets and the more he turns into a person,
it all it's pretty cool. And I will say the
real story is much better than some of the stuff
LaVar was trying to claim. You were gone for life.
(02:52):
It was horrible, man, the things that was coming out
last week. Little LaVar at one point said, you uh,
you know it was a p d V. I wish
you knows. My voice is still not Our family has
been sick for like a month month. Here's what I'll
say right now. Okay, I'm not one for conspiracy theories. Okay,
(03:15):
whatever the hell is going around right now, it has
to be man made. Like, I've never been sick this
long in my life. In my life, I've never dealt
with anything like this. I've had three kids for the
past three years. We've had three kids. We've never gotten
sick like this. Anyone out there who's doctors telling you like,
(03:35):
oh yeah, this is just this year's flu, this is
just this year's cold, bs, this is something different, Like
our bodies are under attack. I've talked to other people
about this too. They're like, we haven't been healthy, like
since the start of twenty twenty three. Like someone's been
sick in our family like every other week. It is unbelievable.
(03:56):
Like I don't know what's going on, but it's the aliens.
They're they're pipe. It's something man. Yeah, watching a bunch
of UFO stuff. So yeah, and you know, all of
a sudden, those are real. By the way, I don't
know if you guys know that or that now that now,
all of those those things always made I wake up
every morning and see a UFO, so you know, yeah, yeah,
(04:26):
well listen, we're happy to have you back, and congratulations.
And it was Jonas's fantasies of what you talking about.
I'm sure you know I know how this goes. Yeah,
down Jonas Lane and you know, and he tells everybody
what what's going on, and yeah, there's so much amatry
and so many details to it. Listen. It's a way
(04:47):
to see who's listening and how often they listen, because
if you make up a different lie every single day,
uh you know that, like who's been around on what day?
Who heard the second lie? Who heard the third lie?
And so we started p D suspension and then we
went to you were boycotting it. There was a contract
dispute thrown in there, hence the Lamar Jackson stuff. So look, no,
(05:10):
I do have an update on that though. Oh yeah,
what's up. Well, well, what's his last name. It's it's
Ken something, right, That's that's the guy lives that's helping out. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he doesn't live too far from us. And apparently he's
been he's been selling a bunch of home gym equipment, right,
I was unaware of this, but uh yeah, I looked
into a little bit deeper. He's been selling a lot
(05:30):
of this, this home gym equipment. But the odd thing
about it being a home gym equipment is he's advertised
that you take it with you, so you can take
it into like a field or to a park or something,
which doesn't really make it a home gym anymore. It
kind of makes it more of like a mobile gym.
But I digress um that situation. Wow, yeah, I mean,
(05:51):
why don't we just talk about it? What the hell's
going on? Man? Because now, like the latest thing with
Jeremy Fowler, a ESPN was saying that the Ravens are
telling free agents like, yeah, you know, we'd like to
have Lamar back, but we can't fully commit to it,
and you know, we're just not quite what you think.
Like the guy's got, you know, some guy with a
(06:12):
mobile gym equipment doing his negotiations and then reaching out
and every time Lamar wants to deny any of this stuff,
he just goes to Twitter with some face emoji. Like
the whole thing is bizarre. The whole thing's weird. I
just I don't see how this gets resolved and everybody's
on the same page and it's kumbaya when they get
into the season. I don't see it. There's there's only
(06:35):
one reason why Lamar Jackson would would be able to
come back and make it through this season, and that's
the fact that he plays them the one year not
exclusive franchise tag and it's as much money as he's
ever made his career to play for one year. You know,
I think when you're at his point, you've played now
five years. He was the thirty second draft pick of
(06:56):
that class, so they picked up the fifth year option.
They get all that. But now you find yourself, and
it's not non exclusive franchise tag that he'll be able
to double the money that he's made. That's got to
be still enticing enough for him to come back and play,
regardless of the circumstances with the Ravens, because we've seen
all this works out. If he doesn't come back, the
(07:18):
contract just tolls for another year. And so what a
year from now we get a bunch of teams who
are like, you know what, we're gonna need of a quarterback,
and yeah, let's kick the tires and old Lamar Jackson.
Let's just let's just see where things go. I don't
know if it's collusion or not. I don't really care
if it is, because the NFLPA is not going to
stop it, and you know, there's no way of really
(07:39):
proving it. But at this point, the NFL is spoken.
No one's submitted an offer sheet. The Baltimore Ravens, who've
drafted him and tried to develop and to help him,
brought in a new OC this offseason, drafted a first
round wide receiver and Rashad Bateman previously. I mean they're
looking at it like, dude, what more can we do? Well?
(08:00):
More can we do to support you? At this point?
You turned out one hundred and thirty three million dollars,
the second most guaranteed at signing of any contract ever
in the NFL, and you're not willing to commit to us.
So at this point, like, yeah, Like I could see
how there'd be a fractured relationship on both sides, but
we know this doesn't really go anywhere because I don't
think a year from now, if he sits out, there's
(08:20):
gonna be a willing team to go bid for his services.
Like everyone wants to talk about the MVP season, it
was years ago. I mean, the Packers are moving on
from here and Rodgers after two MVP seasons, they were
just waiting for the year he didn't hit the MVP
and they're moving on. So I just I don't I
don't think this is really going to work out the
way he had hoped. He should have taken the offer
(08:40):
they'd given him. It's fractured. My relationship to the scenario,
the situation, all of it, Like, I'm are you tired
of I'm tired. I'm so tired, Like I'm so I
am so this situation fatigued, and and there's so like
there's no more angles, Like I just gotta be honest,
(09:01):
there's just no more angle. Let's try and come up
with a different one every day. You know I can
do it. I mean, I just I just don't have
the mental capacity or the emotional stability to this this
situation to continue to try to figure it out. You
did you think it was gonna end up like this?
Because I thought for sure that, oh, they're going to
(09:22):
figure out a way to make this work. Both sides
want to be there. They love Lamar Jackson, he loves
the Ravens. He loves football too much. They're going to
figure out a way for this to work. We're now
at the point to where he's got some guy slinging
Jim equipment in Brady's neighborhood parks that's now calling teams
to try and see if he can get an offer
sheet for him. It's just little things bizarre. The first
(09:45):
of all, I thought there would be a team that
would actually take a shot at it, take a stab
at it, like nobody, nothing at all at all. Yeah,
there you go, you Oh no, nobody. So I mean
the market has spoken and like you said, for good
(10:07):
or for worse, for colluding or not colluding. I'll put
it to you like this, I can't believe that there's
not a franchise that if they really really want it,
Lamar Jackson, It's like, yeah, I'm not doing it because
the other guys aren't doing it. They don't want to
do it, like Cleveland didn't take that advice. Cleveland didn't
seem to play by the colluding rules. So I just
(10:29):
don't you know, for me, I'm so sick of it.
I'm sick of it and honestly I want to get to,
you know, the draft, Like there were some really cool
pro days, nice nice pro days, performances and stuff like that.
Like this to me right now, like fighting over this,
it's like it's not going anywhere. You know, you know
(10:52):
that the relationship is damaged, regardless of if they can
salvage it or not. Maybe that becomes the biggest storyline
moving forward, but it is like you are where you
are right now, so you better look at where your
feet are, and you better start making some realistic decisions
where your feet are not where you want them to be.
(11:14):
I wonder who's helping them at this point, because if
I'm the nfl PA, I'm ticked off like they were
giving him some consulting or helping him towards the end
as we got closer to the deadline, and now you've
got to be thinking, Okay, hold on a second, we're
helping you. And yet you go to this guy slinging,
(11:35):
I don't know, shake weights out there at fields all
across Jonas's home parks. Yeah, just shake weights to everyone.
Everyone gets a shake weight. But you want to bring
this guy in to do your negotiating, like yeah, kick tires,
like like we're we're not gonna help you anymore. I mean,
that's how I'd feel like you went to such an
(11:57):
unprofessional route, Like I know people in the media who
got a call from this guy who are trying to
get through in touch with teams. Really yoh, yeah, you
can connect the dots on that one. But that's how
sleazy the thing's gotten. Like it's it's so bad and
you're going get an agent, Just get an agent, for
(12:18):
the love of God, Get an agent, like, let them
take their small fee. Dude, it's at most three percent.
You can probably negotiate them down to one percent, get
an agent, and go get nine figures. It's unbelievable. By
the way, in the same Laramie Tounsil just got another deal.
I don't think he has an agent. Roquan Smith, his
teammate doesn't have an agent. He got a deal done.
(12:41):
They're not. But here's the problem. When you say that
you're misrepresenting them. It's not true that they don't have
an agent. They're quote unquote representing themselves. They have someone
who's negotiating with them and for them. They have an attorney.
They have someone else who's there. They don't have a
Ken whatever the hell his name is, Slinging Jim Equipment.
(13:02):
They have someone who's certified by the nfl PA who's
looking at this stuff and a part of it. Every
player that wants to say, no, I negotiated my own deal, No,
you didn't. I know plenty of guys who are agents
who have been giving advice on the side for a
lot of these players. They do it for like cloud
or to look smart, and the reality is there's still
(13:24):
people helping them and there's no shading nothing, there's nothing
wrong with that. It's nothing wrong with it, but the
media perpetuates it like Jonas just did right there. It's
not true. There's no truth to that. Okay, Well do
you think that it is true that Kenny Bowflex at
least got them to purchase, you know, a two month
supply of his gym equipment. Yeah, just like a trial run,
(13:46):
getting faces of those with the fitness guy who's like
from austraa with the long hair. You know I'm talking about. No,
what are you talking about? It was a gazelle. Look
it up. Where was Lee on this? Yeah? Gazelle? Let
me let tell me the thing that you pull, you
sit on and it looks like you you like you
(14:07):
have something somebody with you? Is then a rowing machine? Yea,
well no, it's different than that. It's a cardio. It
moves with you. It's it's like an elliptical. Yeah, okay,
I think I think I know what you're talking. Yeah,
I don't know. I mean personally, I'm cinder blocks to
little never come back. Look up the gazelle with the
gazelle glider with Tony Little. All right, Tony Little Gazette.
(14:31):
That's what That's the Southern California version of Ken, not
the South Florida version of it. Tony little Gazelle. So
let me just taking a look at Tony Little and
let's see. Let's see whether or not it's not popping up.
And we're so late you would let him negotiate up well,
because the wife and the Wi fi here is perfect.
Come on, let's take right now. It's not coming up, Tony,
(14:56):
It's not coming up. Nothing showing up. All right, let
me see anything. See. Oh, you guys are looking at
something else, aren't you? The gazelle glider? Let me see it? Okay, yeah,
I see that. I just had a sentence to you. Yeah,
it's like it's like your skiing. But did you see
Tony little though? Did you see Tony doing it? Yeah?
Tony looks like he's a prob. Yeah. Yeah. The Gazelles
(15:19):
like the Billy blanks of Gazelle. Ye exactly, the exactly
forward hat, long hair underneath. He's a Southern California verse.
I got news for you. If that guy knocked at
my door and said, hey, you think about signing my
guy to an opera sheet without even finishing the sentence,
I say, yes, if I can get a couple of
these little slalom machines that he's slinging in a field
somewhere in Fort Lauderdale, Fantastic starts slinging home workout units. Yeah. Today,
(15:43):
that's how it is. You guys seen it though. It's
like this little I don't know, suitcase, Kareney case. They
got some shirts off. The ladies got their shirts off. Yeah.
People are just slatting and glattening on these gazelles, the
little gazelle glider. All right, it is two pro, two
(16:03):

Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar Errington, and

is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you coming up
in about twenty minutes from now, another edition of incase
you missed it. This isn't my normal microphone. I just
I'm trying to figure out why I can't pull it
back any further. This is not the normal one. Cool,
because I think the other one broke over there. I
usually use this one, right, I think, so, yeah, the
(17:11):
other one broke. No, this is this the one I
usually use. I don't know, this is the one I
usually use. I don't know why. Something feels wrong? Well,
no like that. But if you look over there to
your right, that one snapped. So I think that's the
one you use? Yeah, the same one? Is it the
same one? Yeah? Something don't feel right? Don't just just
(17:36):
don't feel right. We gotta like point it towards your face, like,
oh jeez, no, that's me. What do you mean? It's
definitely not bad. It's this knee. This knee right here,
it's like my knee. It's the Doppler Levar's knee. By
(18:00):
the way, Is it gonna rain this week? Can you tell? Yeah?
You see, I'm been in studio. Yeah, I was over
the rain on Wednesday, is it? Yeah? Well not tomorrow.
I won't be here, Yeah, seriously, I won't. I won't.
I won't be in the city state traveling. Yeah, travel well.
(18:24):
Coming up in twenty minutes from now from the Tirak
dot com studios, we are going to have maybe the
most appropriate moment in all of sports. It took place
over the weekend, so you'll hear from a person involved
in this situation. That'll be happening again twenty minutes from
now here Fox Sports Radio. But uh, you know a
lot of people were concerned before the NCAA tournament started.
You know, no North Carolina um duke without Mike Chevsky,
(18:47):
what it's gonna look like. Have no fear. The powerhouses
and name brands are here. Make some noise for Florida Atlantic,
San Diego State, Miami, and Yukon. Oh there's one who
are who are in more. By the way, if you
ever wanted to get a ticket to go to a
Final four in the history, this is the one you
(19:08):
should get. For about twenty bucks. You could probably play
like two minutes to the second half on one of
these games. Ay man, I'm happy for this team. Three
of the four have never been here ever. Ever. And
by the way, Florida Atlantic, who you know, it's close
to where I live. It's a decent sized school for enrollment.
But I mean, honestly, the most buzz that ever got
(19:31):
was when Lane Kiffin came here. I mean I sort
of caught that completely changed the trajectory of that school.
Um you know it. It became a place now where
recruits in South Florida look to go there for football, basketball.
You know, not not a ton of the kids are
from this area, but it's it's become a destination. But
(19:51):
it's so cool to me to see like a program
in a school make it where I'm like, man, that's
a thirty minute drive like that. That's it's just it's
it's a small school story. It truly is a Cinderella.
I don't know if they'll ever make it back again,
but I mean my daughters were chaired for him because
we've been there before, we go to the Boca Bowl,
(20:13):
we've seen some of their football games. I was excited
for them, and then just to have Miami make it too.
It's like the South Florida's the mecca of college basketball
right now. I mean, it's it's unbelievable. It really is
when you take into account two of those schools that
have never been there before. Who knows if they'll ever
make it back, but or now have a chance of
potentially scoring off to win a national championships. Pretty cool.
(20:36):
What's the Burger place you guys go? Do near? They check? Yeah,
that's not even the end of it. Like the Division
two national championship was Nova Southeastern, which is down here.
Like they're doing it like multiple levels they've got. It's
like the basketball just imps Miami team doing well too. Yeah.
The girl they were in the Elite. I didn't check
(20:57):
to see if they made the final four. I think
they did. Yeah, I mean I'm pretty sure that oh
did they lose. It's unfortunate. I mean, lady Berto was happy,
yeah to say that. Yeah, what was that about? Berto? Well,
Jonas has been looking at the Cavendar twins, so yeah,
oh I have Oh yeah, yeah buddy, Oh yeah that's where.
That's who those text messages are from. Let me just
(21:18):
check the receipt. Okay, yes, all right, that's fine. Got
God forbid my eyes work, God forbid. I mean they
did they play? Yeah, one of them? One of them starts.
I just randomly saw that pop up on my my
my feet, and I was like, what you guys think
(21:39):
about this? Like this is ridiculous. Yeah, someone should be
advising them. They need to hire an agent. You know,
they're being misrepresented too. Great point, they've got an agent,
they're in deserving of of of a contract. So in
a way, Lame Kiffin is the reason why one of
(22:02):
these schools is in the final four. Absolutely, how about
I mean, I'll just put it this way. When I
used to go to FAU games before he got there,
not really a buzz. Okay. When I went there the
next time, I was like, oh, okay, like this is
this is a crowd, like this feels like a football environment.
It just it felt completely different. It looked completely different,
(22:28):
like there were dudes knocking dudes out on the field,
getting thrown out of games for targeting, but the entire
place that had like juice. And I mean, I'm not
like sitting here telling you that, like that's the way
football should be played, but it just had an entirely
different feel to it. It felt like they found their identity.
(22:48):
Like that's what it felt like, and it was. It
was pretty cool to watch that whole, you know process
and if you see the way to players respond to
the coach, Dusty May seems like a good dude and
he's been there kind of building that whole thing for
a while. I remember when Jim Laranega got hired by Miami.
We had him on as a guest and I remember
(23:09):
him saying that because they started to win a little
bit and started to build the program. But he obviously
took George Mason to the Final four and that's what
led to him, you know, getting the job. He did
a great job there and then got hired at Miami.
And he said that when he first got there that
sometimes he knew if they were bringing in a recruit
for a visit, the only reason the recruit was coming
(23:30):
to visit is because the parents wanted a little bit
of a VC, Like he knew some players they had
no shot at getting, but the parents wanted to come
to Miami. Well that's that's how far that program's come
to see you. Yeah, I got to know him when
he was at Nova. Mason a super cool dude. Y'all
saw him breaking it down. Yeah, yea, he knows out
(23:53):
a coach. I'll tell you that there's a decent, cool
little area because you know, Soaka Smart was in the
area as well, Like there was a nice little low
will run I'm going on. But anyway, good luck to him. Man.
I thought that's pretty cool that they did well. But
I gotta be honest if I'm being no. We had
it in the notes as to you know, is this
(24:14):
a good thing or a bad thing for college college basketball?
You know, I don't think it's good. Oh no, sorry,
I mean, I'm happy for those teams, but I just don't.
So what does that lead you to think? Then? Do
you think there should be expansion? Because because it took
me to this thought, if FAU was a thirty plus
win team, I think they were like thirty one in
(24:34):
three or something like that. What's to say that another
another team in that stratosphere couldn't do the same thing
because without winning their conference, I don't know that FAU
would have gotten in. Yeah, And so I kind of
look at it and go, yeah, maybe that makes a
case for expansion, or maybe we should do away with
looking at some of these other like middle of the road,
(24:57):
you know, bubble teams from bigger conference and just say, yeah,
they don't deserve they didn't play well enough. Like basketball,
it's the talent and everything else is a little more
equated amongst the three hundred teams. Then I think you
get when you're talking about football, that is a big
there's a big difference between There is a big difference,
and I mean there's a big difference in terms of
(25:19):
if you don't have the horses, right like if you
don't have a line of scrimmage that and that's generally
what separates the big, the bigs, the power fives from
the rest is that you're just not going to get
the horses up front that you would get, you know,
being at of Alabama or at a Georgia or out
(25:39):
of Michigan or Notre Dame. And and you get you
get to look at it and you say, you're not
like TCU is a surprise, Like if you really think,
if you're looking at it from a purity standpoint, looking
at football, it's like, Man, TCU found their way to
the championship game. How many people thought that TCU was
(26:02):
gonna win that game? You know what I mean? Like
it's kind of like it kind of for me, I
would have been more interested seeing Ohio State square up
against Georgia. Now I like the fact that TCU made
it because that that gives hope, like go to TCU,
don't don't go to the same schools, you know what
I mean. So you would have Ohio State or Michigan
(26:25):
Georgia in the NATI. It's something to that effect. I mean,
I know how State played Georgia, but I'm just saying
that's that type of matchup. I want to see best
on best and and and With college basketball, I don't
even know it's about the expansion because the bottom line
is whether we expanded it or not. Those teams are
winning games like they're winning the games, like they're knocking
(26:47):
out one seeds and two seeds and three seeds. So
it's I just don't find myself interested in watching teams.
I don't know. Gotta start gambling, man, But well, okay,
can I ask you this though, do you really know
any of the teams anymore? I know the brand, and
then once I know the brand, then the player becomes
(27:08):
relevant to me. Like it's like, oh, I'm watching Duke.
It's like I watch them on and off during the year, right,
and it's like, Okay, this guy is pretty good. Then
we get into the tournament and then you start really
knowing their names. You know. It's like kind of how
historically has been. I've been happy to hear about the
Cinderella stories. We always talk about. Here's the Cinderella teams
that made it to the Sweet sixteen. Here's a Cinderella
(27:30):
team that made it in through to the Elite eight.
Oh my gosh, there's a Cinderella team that made it
into the Final four. I'm good with a Cinderella team.
What about four of them? Nah? With it? Kind of
I'm out. I hate to say it. There are two
different discussions, right, like, you know, is this the best
(27:50):
way to determine your national champion? And that's one discussion,
and you probably say no because nothing you do in
the regular season and even in conference tournament play allows
you to have home court advantage, Like you go into
it as a number one seed, and you don't get
to play at home court at any point in the tournament.
(28:13):
And I think that's one of the things that probably
bothers me or makes me, you know, think it's it's
a much more difficult path to go. But let's be
real too, Like when you have a sudden death one
and done scenario, you allow a team like FAU to
get hot, stay hot and be able to make a
run and get to this point. So I kind of
(28:36):
look at it and just go I think the format
of what the tournament is and if you expand it,
by the way, it's only going to make that more
likely we don't see a number one seed make it.
But I also think like this there was an outlier year.
We saw a bunch of movement at number one. This
year there wasn't like a consistent number one team, And
so good for these teams. Coaches, good these teams. Yeah,
(28:59):
always good for him. I don't know. I don't want
to be a detractor to the success of these programs
because I think that's the parody of the tournament. I mean,
you want I want to see competition, and we have
seen some very competitive games, make no mistake about it.
That's not my my point. But my point is is
that I just I enjoyed seeing North Carolina ending up
(29:23):
matching up against you know, Michigan. I enjoy seeing Ohio
State or Villanova or Georgetown matching up against another team,
you know, against a Purdue, or you like Coca Cola
not Shasta Cola. What you're saying, yeah, yeah, you gonna
win on this. I mean to me, I'll watch it.
(29:46):
I'm the common But this is why I try and
tell people, if you don't like these matchups or these teams,
start gambling. It's the ultimate condiment sitting on the table,
the food's a little dry there it is, Sprinkle a
little money on it, and next thing you know, the
game goes to another level and just start gambling all
this stuff. This is why sports betting is going to
(30:07):
become so important, because you all of a sudden turn
a bunch of games. It probably you don't care about
whether San Diego State or Florida Atlantic or any of
these other teams, and all of a sudden, you got
a little bit of cash on it. You're throwing a
little bit on it courtesy Draft Kings, the Grant Hall,
who's the Christian Latoner or to Bobby Hurley, I mean,
Bobby Cares. It all pays the same. I mean it does,
(30:28):
and I just feel like you're creating a different connection
to the game because of the money aspect of it.
I'd like to watch it and like I want to, like,
you know, Glenn Robinson, like the big dog, like Larry Johns. Yeah,
but but that's a byproduct too of where college basketball's at. Yeah,
Like it's hard. It's hard to have those players when
(30:50):
they're one and duns. On top of that, they can transfer. Um,
I'm trying to think which one of the teams that
was playing there, Like, yeah, none of these guys were
here at the beginning of the season, Like it was
an entire it's Kansas State. I think their entire team
knowing that, knowing that began their career at Kansas State.
They all eventually transferred. The Marquis Nola is awesome. What
(31:10):
a study. Geez, absolute stud I mean, and guys are
coming like where did John Murant come from? What school
did he come from? Marquette? Yeah, it wasn't wasn't it
wasn't Marquette, Mury, Murray State, Murray State. Then you got
like a Davidson with with Steph Curry, And I mean,
there's guys that aren't going to the traditional blue blood
(31:31):
powerhouse basketball programs and are super megastar players in the league.
But I don't know, I just feel like there's I
feel like these these young boys these days are missing
out on the experiences that we were able to have
when we were growing up because you knew the matchups,
you knew what was coming, you knew it was Duke
(31:51):
versus U and LV. You knew who was playing in
those games, Like you knew when Arkansas had their run
and they were playing against you know, Duke, whoever they
were playing against. You knew the lineups and we knew them.
Do you remember Bobby Hurley? Yes, I has brothers coaching. Yeah. Yeah.
By the way, Yukon looks by far and away the best,
(32:14):
like they look so good, I don't think ter blue
blood team, Like that's a blue blood I don't have.
I didn't pick one of these teams to win more
than I think one or two games. Max. I think
I had Yukon and Miami going to the sweet sixteen.
None of these teams I had anywhere clothes before. To
your point, Yukon is a blue blood team. They had
(32:37):
three players who they knew coming the season. We're gonna
be on that team on the roster, the rest for
freshmen and transfers. Like that's just how college basketball is.
What we experienced with those duke teams, North Carolina teams,
that Kentucky teams. You're never going to see that again. Guys,
just guys hanging around at Kentucky that they didn't make
(32:59):
it like they were supposed to be a one. It done.
Next year's class is the most talented class because you're
kids there are pretty much you're pretty much real Wait wait,
hold on wait, you're twenty years old, Crows, you're going
to class today. Oh my gosh, what happened to you?
Pretty that is pretty wild to think of. For better
(33:20):
tighten up and worked out. Yeah, you're about to get
replaced by that's seventeen year old. Yeah, that's what's real life.
It's two pros and a cup of Joe. Here. Fox
Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knoxie. We're gonna

Eddie Garcia, Yeah, talk about it. Yeah, thank you, That's
what I was hanging out. Well, the final four said,
as you guys were talking about in college basketball, and
three of the final four are there for the very
first time. It includes fifth seed in San Diego State,
who got by the sixth seed Creighton fifty seven fifty six.
There was a controversial foul call with us and two
seconds to go on this one, and that provided San
(34:02):
Diego State with the winning margin at the free throw line.
Aztecs going to the Final four to face another first
time team in the Final four. That's the ninth seed
Florida Atlantic. Meanwhile, fifth seed in Miami, Florida beat the
two seed Texas eighty eight to eighty one. Hurricanes did
it by rolling down thirteen points in the second half
to get the win. And they're also another one of
those teams going to their first ever Final four. They'll
take on the four seed Yukon in the other national
(34:24):
semi final. Now, let's go back to Brady Quinn, the

producer Lee Do do do the lap? What's up Fellas?
Happy Monday to everybody. In case you missed this, he Lee,
(37:19):
Hey guys, Hey Brady, Hey LaVar, Hey Jonas, guys. In
case you missed this, The Mavericks are spiraling. They just
lost to the Hornets for the second time in three days.
Luca got his sixteenth tech and earned himself a suspension.
Kyrie Irving got a fan ejected. In fact, here's some
sound from Kyrie Kyrie talking about the incident. Just called
(37:39):
me on my name, so I just had to make
sure I looked him out of eye, said he would
say it to my face. You know a lot of
fans say things, can you turn your head or say
it in the crowd because they can get away with it.
But majority of the time I talk a look a
fan in the face and see if they really want
to say that to me. You know. So he yelled
in I handled it. Yeah, you have security throwing him out.
And in case you missed this, what happen was he
(38:00):
what hat was you wearing? LeVar? He had to watch
it to rid Um? Yeah, the old logo. I'm not
going to use it in that that term when I
played for when I played for the team, they were
the watching to Ridskins. That was the hat he had
on the team I played. I think that's why he
got ejected. It's possible. It's possible they related what him
(38:24):
calling Kyrie out of his name was to him wearing that.
Can I ask this, He's as talented as they come,
as far as like point guard, shooting or what are
you gonna call him? He's as talented as they come.
Outside of the Cavs team, Like what team has he
joined where he has helped them? Well, he's like elevated them. None.
(38:45):
I don't know that he even helped elevate the Cavs.
I mean, he played well, but did he elevate it.
It's the same story. He gets to a place and says,
you know, I finally feel like I've I've found my
spot here and I finally feel and it's all optimism
and everybody's happy. And he plays nice for a couple
of games, and then there's an incident or a moment
and that team usually falls apart. I just I don't
(39:05):
know how how many more times can it happen before
people just acknowledge Yeah, he's a really talented guy, but
he's a pain in the ass, Like I just, I mean,
there's no real other way to look at it, because
Dallas seemed like they were that was a team. Ah man,
if you just get Lucas some help. Okay, here it
is and here it is, and they're just falling apart.
(39:27):
So this is help, that's it. Help hello, But it
is to stop getting them texts. It is unfortunate though,
that Dan Snyder's team was in the news again. They
did make an appearance, Yeah, yeah, they did. Fox Sports
