Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best of two pros and a couple of
Joe with LaVar Arrington, Rady Winn, and Jonas Knox on Box.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hammer. That's where we're at. That's where we're at. Yes,
where we're at.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, yeah, hang it out, brand new studio. Hey, Hey,
you know, Eddie's going to get a new perspective.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
He's going to he's going to appreciate me more because
he's going to see my facial expressions and he's going
to see my mannerisms and all those different things. When
I say the things that I'm saying, You're not just
going to hear my voice, which is kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Direct eye contact and I get to see him, do
you know what his pea hat on?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
You know, we're Pittsburgh got Yeah, so I'm talking about here.
I mean they're not They're not those Pittsford Penguins. You know,
well it's not in the playoffs anymore. The Boston Bruins.
What a disaster they tried?
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Why is it a disaster? It's like the President's Cup.
It's it's a curse, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Kind Of it seems that way, Ed East, You're the
NHL insider here you're an expert, historically biggest upset.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Of all time?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Or what are we talking about in the NHL as
far as the Bruins losing to the Panthers.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
List, I think it's definitely in the discussion for yeah,
like top two, top three.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Can I throw this question out there if you're a
Boston sports fan, what's worse? You have the greatest regular
season in NHL history and then you lose in the
opening round to the Florida Panthers, who, by the way,
I mean Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Always seems to play them tough. Or the New England.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Patriots, that's the one you think that's worse? Hell yeah,
why because they go all the way to the Super Bowl?
Lose undefeated in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I think this is it's the first round, no way,
and the Patriots had a.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Three one series lead and it was won one game.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You know those Cats came back.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, and then I just look at it like this.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Look out for the Cats.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
If you lose in the first round, it's like no harm,
no foul, because if you lose in the second rounds
like you lost in the second round. But if you
go undefeated and you're in the the last game, of
the year, the last game and you lose that bitch,
No way.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I do feel like for the players it would be
more depressing. But probably I don't know, after having that
season for the Bruins and you lose to the Cats
like that, the.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Kiets, but also with the Patriots, the Giants had played
them tough towards the end of the regular season. That
was a really good game. It was a neutral site,
this was at home. This was overtime, and they had
one lead, and you had a lead in that game,
and they had a three to two lead.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They had they had, they had the lead in this
game the Patriots had. The Patriots had to lead, they
had to lead.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
You had to catch the ball on the helmet, like
think about that, Oh, was that the bubble gup helmet.
That's the bubble bubblegum helmet stuck stick to my helmet,
the David Tyree catch. Yeah, I mean think about that.
I don't HELI Manning had to scramble for twenty minutes
and throw the ball up and.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Rodney Harrison, which yeah, that's true, right, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
In fact, you can scrambled that log.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Have y'all flown through Boston Airport Logan Airport there, Boston.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, okay, so let me just this picture for you.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Okay, if you went up and looked up though, like
a Wikipedia page, every one.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Of those teams, all right, the Bruins.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
The Celtics, the Patriots, the Red Sox, they have every
championship banner hanging up as.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You go through security.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
It's most you think, you think that you've seen success
for a sports town. Then you walk through that and
you go, oh, these people are kind of spoiled. Like now,
I don't think they take for granted what's happened. Like
I think there are great sports down They're great. It's
a great fan base. But they've had so much success
(04:28):
that eventually you're going to have some of the downside
with it too. Like you're going to have the New
England Patriots going undefeated, being on the brink of being
the greatest team NFL history, only to lose the Super
Bowl to the Giants, or the greatest you know, the
greatest season NHL history, only to lose to the Florida
Panthers the Cats in the first round.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Like, get that. Stuff's going to happen.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
It's just it's gonna happen when you're that successful and
you're always in the playoffs and you're you're playing for
a super Bowl and you.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Played for what eight How many did many did Field.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Belichick and Todd Brady played for over the period period
of time together.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Ye okay, there you go, Like you.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
When you when you put yourself in competition that much, Yeah,
you're gonna be on the wrong side of it a couple.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Of times too.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I played for seven years.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Perspective for you, one play two playoffs during my time,
I played in one and I played for seven years
only playoffs.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We ever once we lost in New England.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
So I mean, I'm just saying, like they went to
more Super Bowls than I had years in the league.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
For real, Like it's worth just the flight, just going
through Boston security, when you see all the all the banter,
it's all the it's like, wow, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
A party town.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Man.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
If you didn't know, like what I didn't realize I was.
I was dating a chick that went to Harvard Med
School and it was a low key she was. She
would it's freaking beautiful too.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Ut package, total package. Yes, I mean I was in
Boston quite a bit, but like there's that pockety blow dark,
like take down a elephant, blow dark on that one,
all right, And and you know they had like that
(06:24):
row of like right, I like them. I bobbed for him.
I didn't pick them. I bobbed for him. I'm talking
about basting man. I had the clan chatta.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It was good too.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I tell you, the clan chatta is different in Boston.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, so the main, the main, the main what is
it the lobster or what what's the main lobster? Yeah,
or crab or whatever it is? Yeah, yeah, whatever, lobster roll. Yeah,
I mean it's there. It was there in Boston. I'll
(07:06):
tell you that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It is funny that Brady mentions that didn't bring it
from Maine. It is called it wasn't called Boston crab.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It is.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It is funny that we want to catch Boston crabs.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
People have at Boston.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I didn't want to catch them. You don't want to
catch them, and you don't want to house them.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It is you damn sure don't want to eat them.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, definitely not definitely not Joe Joey, your breakfast everybody.
But it's it is funny that Brady mentioned Brady mentions
flying when it comes to Boston, because uh, well there
there was a comp made on the loss for the
Bruins last night. Take it away, Jack Edwards on nesson television, by.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
When's the series?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
This short lid in the second.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Setting a team? You know.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
This series is the first thing is that Harry carry
It's not Eric Carrey. I think he was just so stunned.
I mean that sounded like Harry Carrey.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh man, you drinking at the start of a.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Boston spelled backwards. It's not stop, Hi spelled backwards? Good?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But was it Tampa before that?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Tampa?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Tampa was the President's Cup winner and then they lost
in the first round. I'm trying to think who was
the last one to do it?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yes, it was Tampa. I swept like Columbus.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Or some people call the Manitoba sweater coats.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You know some people sweat who calls them that?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
I was at a Panthers game one time and these
guys were annihilated. And this you have to understand, this
is a while back because before the Panthers got good,
their ownership kind of changed over.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They were sparsely attended.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
I mean it was it was always like one of
the funny things. They shoot off the cannon with the
T shirts and you're like, all right, it is gonna
hit a seat or a fan, and like the favorite
was the seat, Like the odds wrong were favorite towards
the seat, and then you'd see a kid or someone
would eventually run over. There's times where like it'd be
the people cleaning up after the game when we get
a free T shirt because there was just a shot
(09:40):
that cannon.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, I just they shot it to somewhere where no
one was at.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
But they changed over ownership, a lot of changes within
that organization, and they've been I mean they've been competitive since,
much more competitive, better attended. There's a lot of a
lot of hype around them, and so but we were
at a game and it was back then. It was
when the Columbus bluejack My brother in law was playing
for them, and so they were in town and these
these I don't know where these guys are from, but
(10:05):
they just kept calling them the Manitoba sweater coats instead
of the Columbus Blue Jackets, So.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't know where they got. It was one of
the funniest things I've ever heard.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
They were hammered, well, like trying to get it out
and trying to like just trying to say Manitoba, Manitoba
sweater coats.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, Manitoba sweat of coats. I mean we had we
had three games seven is kind of hard to say. Yeah,
like main lobster in Boston. By the way, can I
say this the Russell Wilson jinks on Colorado and leaving
Seattle just continues.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Now you go.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Now you got the abs losing to the crack in
last night. Unfor it. I'm just listen.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
By the way, there's no way in hell that your
brother in law is anywhere close to one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
He looked like he was really banged up towards the
end of that game trying to get get to the bench.
He was almost doubled over just trying to reach the bench.
And I don't think it he's.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Getting shot up just to play right now. It's got
a groin injury, which for hockey is obviously pretty important.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Joining the club with the juices of the gods.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, the problem is, I don't know that toward Doll
is going to fix it. He might get neither.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Oh no, it's not going to fix it. Yeah, he
might get through. Fix it. You'll get you'll get through.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
I ain't say it's going to fix it. I said,
don't fix it, Jesus, just just get me through. That
tour doll will get you through.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Oh man, she's where you're hitting me to day, Doc,
the arm, the booty, Where are you getting me?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Right there?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, you're gonna put the band aid right there. I
don't need a band aid, Doc, I'm good. And then
when it's all God has a feel bad. But that's
like Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
It's like Tuesday when you get when you get the
feeling back, like you're sore Sunday night, like you when
you start to come down off of your your adrenaline
high and all that stuff. You feel it a little bit,
but you don't feel it to like Monday, you're stiff
as hell. Tuesday you're like, am I alive?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Like?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Am I gonna make it? And go figure?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Because you only have Wednesday, Thursday, Friday really left like
Wednesday and tuesdays. Generally in old days, Tuesday was bloody Tuesday,
so that was the day you were going to bang,
you know. So if you felt that bad on Tuesday,
it was pretty bad for you, you know, Yeah, but
that toward all gets you through don Yeah, toward Hall,
(12:32):
Nectar of the Gods, Nectar of the Gods.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So, Aaron Rodgers man making himself at home?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
How about you're Roger really making himself at home. He's
already working with the Jets. He's already there at the facility,
Roberts speaking glowingly about Aaron Rodgers and just what he's
done already in his time with the New York Jets.
He's even going to a couple of games. He was
at the Knicks game yesterday, he was at the Rangers
game the night before. How about how about Aaron Rodgers
(13:14):
trying to make his presence felt there? Is he rubbing
me in, rubbing me in the fact that he didn't
have all those opportunities to have a social life in
Green Bays.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'm just asking here, I mean shots fired.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
You can't control you know, green Bay not having anything
else other than the Packers.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
My gosh.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I mean, he is a part owner with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
It does feel like, you know, maybe they says, you know,
and look, I'm not trying to be you know, disrespectful
or anything, but I mean the Knicks did lose that game.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
They did so playing well, but yeah, yeah, Jimmy Butler,
though we don't know about his right ankle.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
That's always something I saw like a two.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
And a half minute clip though, as they were going throughout,
like all the celebrities who are there in attendance.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And it's pretty funny that they'd show each each each
celebrity and.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Sometimes like a past New York Nick and you know,
the crowd be like yeah yeah, I kept kind of
going and then there'd be some like.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
People didn't know and he was like, oh.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Yeah, it's like there's nothing, like you really didn't hear
anything at all. And I was like, all right, but
that's the environment man, Madison Square Garden. It's just such
a such a cool place.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You know.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
And by the way, I'm glad he's like going out
and about and taking all this stuff in. And I
think that's a step for Aaron Rodgers, who throughout the
course of his career in Green Bay, like wasn't recluse,
but was obviously not as much in the limelight.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And maybe that had a little something to do with
what you're saying there, Jonas.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
But now I think if you're gonna be the New
York Jets quarterback and a New York quarterback in general,
you have to be comfortable with being in the spotlight.
You have to be comfortable with going to those things,
experiencing them and being around, you know people.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's just it's a it's a or of the deal.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
And the fact that he's already outdoing it, I think
it shows you how this thing's gonna go. Like I
think some people might have felt like you didn't feel
comfortable with doing those sorts of things, but he seems
very comfortable, you know, taking it all in and kind
of experiencing what is this this second life if you will,
Within the game of football, he is a.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Star, and.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Listen, if he wins, his stardom goes to a whole,
entirely different place. So he's in the perfect He's in
a perfect scenario and situation to be able to, you know,
he doesn't have to say people are coming here for
Aaron Rodgers in New York City, and if he's able
(15:46):
to win. I mean, look at Broadway Joe. People don't
even you, You would not even be able to recollect
what Broadway Joe looked like playing football, but they still
he is so beloved, He's so popular. You know, he's
doing you know, potty potty commercials and you know, other
(16:07):
types of commercials.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
To this day. He wore pantios.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I mean, bro Broadway Joe. If you know about Broadway
Joe to dude was just he was. He was a maverick,
he was a he was a trendsetter.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I mean he was.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
He was the dude. He's a p a guy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes he was.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
What where where is Joe bet Beaver Beaver Falls he's from.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
We always make fun of the fact that he left
he left that Western pa accent and dialect behind and
and totally adopt adopted the Alabama, the Alabama way of talking.
You know, he's got real, he got we we sound country,
but he sounds super Alabama in country. So but anyway,
(16:50):
I just think as it applies to to Aaron Rodgers
in the situation that he's in right now, if he
is able to have a measured level of success. And
I'm mean measure meaning if they can make it to
the playoffs, win their division.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
We're gonna ask that, what's the right expectation? Don't think
win the division first?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
The bill is still there. I think if they're able
to win the division. You're now saying, with the bill
still there, they were able to win the division.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
What would be considered a failure for Rogers not winning
the division? I don't.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
So here's here's what I'll say about that is they
don't need to win the division to win a super Bowl.
I'm not I'm not saying I'm not saying the super
Bowl is the I mean, ultimately it's the end goal.
But I'm not saying if they don't win it's a bust.
I would say, if they don't make the playoffs, that's
a that's.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
A big disappointment.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Like this whole thing is building towards them being a
playoff team and then them making a run.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
And I could see that, but I still think, yeah,
if they made the playoffs, that that that's yeah, because
because they.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Don't need to win, you know, the division to make
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I think if they didn't make the playoffs, that's what
everyone's a year from now looking back.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
On what the hell just happened.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah, you know, if they took a step forward and
we're able to make the playoffs, that would you would
have to consider the season to be a success.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
The AFC is so tough thought.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I would almost say playoffs though, and a win, mmm,
like you got to get you got to get to
the divisional round.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, you got to get at least to the divisional round,
you know.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
And look, if you can win the division, to your
point of bar and you get the host a wildcard
round playoff game or i mean, god forbid, your top
overall seed, you get a buye and you're hosting divisional
round Like that's a home run. You're the number one
overall seed in that division as competitive as it's going
to be in the AFC East.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's a home run.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
But let's just say you you do win the division,
you're hosting a wildcard game like that to me, you know,
Woody Johnson started looking at saying a year from now,
we were we didn't know if we could make the
playoffs because of our quarterback, And now I'm not saying
that they're making it because of it.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But we feel like we got a shot to win
a super Bowl because of it, like we should.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
We're going to be in the playoffs and in the
tournament every year because of our roster and because of
our quarterback.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Well, what did you say last week? He gives you
three extra wins? So yeah, doubt yees.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
So there are a ten win team next year, just
with three extra wins based on what they did this
past season and assuming they're gonna have, you know, a
better luck health wise, as far as you know, what
happened that game in Denver when they lost Breeze Hall
and they lost you know, the offensive lineman who went
down with the injury the same Yeah, it just felt
(19:25):
like everything sort of went downhill from there, and then
you've got all the chaos and.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Everything to go along with it.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I just I don't know, barring health, I don't know
how this doesn't work and isn't a success for the
New York Jets because the AFC is tough, But there's
only really like I would say, I'm I'm more confident
in Kansas City and Cincinnati and the AFC. I don't
even know about the Bills, Like, I just think those
(19:51):
two teams, I would say, right now, clearly ahead, I
like them more than I like the Jets. The Bills
feel like things are just a little harder. Question Mark
leaving out of this He's in this past year Buffalo.
It's just there's something weird, like did they hit their ceiling?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
That's that I asked myself the moment they lost that
their last game, did they hit their ceiling?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Like?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Why did leave did Why did Stefan Diggs panic and
freak out?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I looked at their draft and felt like it was
a little bit of that, Like I I mean, look,
Dalton Kin Kaid's a good player out of Utah. I
don't get it when you've got Dawson Knox there who's
under contract till twenty twenty six. So maybe they want
to play more two tight end sets, but it just
felt like a bit of a reach at that spot.
(20:38):
And did they trade up to take him as well?
Maybe they got that pick previously, uh, in a transaction,
But anyway, the point is like that was a pick
where I was like, huh, you know you need help
you up? You have bullied against the Cincinnati Bengals in
the playoffs last year. You need help up front, and
(20:58):
now they did get o Iris Torrents in the second round.
Who was, you know, one of the better interior offensive
linemen in this draft class, A big six five three fifty. Like,
that's a big dude, and he's gonna move some people around,
be a road grader. And I like the shorter pick
in the fifth round. He'll add some depth to the
to the wide receiver group. But I'm just sitting there
kind of watching it going, I was thinking the exact
(21:20):
same thing you just said, LeVar, because I thought back
to the playoffs. I'm looking at the draft going, man,
maybe they're just maybe this is it, Like maybe that's
as good as they're going to be able to get
to at this point based on all the things evolved.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Well, plus two twenty five right now, you want to
get in on DraftKings plus two twenty five for the
Jets to win the AFC East.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
It feels like, I don't. I don't think that's a
bad bet. I really don't.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
You'd have to think that it's only I mean, and
I know I've listened to some people talking about this before.
They've said, go through the past few seasons for the Packers.
Sometimes they've got off to a slow start, and which
is odd because I was like, wait, they went like
thirteen and three or thirteen and four, whatever it was a.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Few years ago go, so they couldn't have got after
that slow of a start.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
But the thought is that there's the potential chance for
value to me at least now, because I think once
they start playing games, that's when you're probably seeing those
odds we bet down some as the season goes on.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
The schedules getting released reportedly May eleventh, so it's coming
up in about a week and a half, and I'm
just I'm wondering, the Jets have got to be one
of the primetime games Week one. Correct, They've got to be,
whether it's, you know, one of the Monday night games,
if they're doing double Barrel Monday Night games this year,
(22:37):
if it's they feel like that's.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Going to all that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Are they still officially calling it the double Barrel?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I don't know, because I don't know if they're going
to be doing that again because they got rid of it,
I think last year, but then brought it back for
like Week two or something.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
They just they did some funky stuff least you're.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
The one who's coined the phrase though, double barrel.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, big time. I mean, look, that's that's how it's
got to be. Somebody's got to come up with this stuff,
and they got to be creative enough. And clearly the
powers will be the NFL weren't creative enough to come
up with it. So that's why I'm here, you know,
try and come up with some of these names for
this stuff. But the Jets have got to be featured
in one of these primetime games. I would feel like
that's that's the move, that's the approach they're going to take.
(23:13):
And then when it comes to just the season opener,
obviously we know it's going to be Kansas City is
going to be hosting the debut game, the premiere game,
the first game of the season, the launch of the
NFL this upcoming year. And it feels like the Bills, Bengals,
and Eagles make the most sense as far as who
Kansas City would open up with at home, and my
(23:35):
money's on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (23:38):
That could be very very spicy one because those are
all scheduled to be home games for Kansas City. Yeah,
what do you think about that? I mean, why not
sincey Buffalo or Philly to open up the season for
the Bills, well, or for the Chiefs rather for the Chiefs. Yeah,
I would love for it to be a rematch Bills
(24:01):
no Eagles, Eagles.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah, I love for beat Eagles. You think they'd roll
that back?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Week one? Philly Kansas City? If that was the last
game we saw last year?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I mean the way the way it kind of didn't
end but ended. But there's some bad blood between Kansas
City and Cincy. The mayors the Bengals kind of have caseys,
you know, cares. They kind of had their ticket, you know,
kind of had their number. I didn't even know the
mayors were going back and forth. Brady tipped me off
(24:32):
to them they were going back and forth. I had
no idea, didn't. He just loves that stuff.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Oh, by the way, you can't bring up Travis Kelce
and not acknowledge what happened this weekend. What do you
mean when he spiked at Lombardi? He drank a beer
off and then it spiked it on the stage.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Did oh he did? And like people were like, this
is going one of two ways?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Either the Chiefs are cursed now because of this, or
it's it's like maybe they own it, so that's what
they can do with it.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Didn't Gronk Lombard they got baseball you remember, the lady,
the daughter of the guy who makes them, was like
terribly offended that they were throwing it from from boat
to boat when.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
They were doing their parade.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Like this.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
He literally spiked it. Unless it's like a fake one
or something.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
I hope it was a fake one, dude, but I
kind of hope it was real because if he spiked
the real Lombardi trophy, that might You called the other dude,
who did you call?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Ah? You called him a savage for finishing the rep.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Well, yeah, Kelsey is a savage for spiking the guys.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Winning so many that he's just like, yeah, screw yeah, yeah, yeah,
we work for Gronk now Kelsey's doing it.

Listen to the Polly and Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeart Radio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I mean, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
You know, I feel like Brady Quinn and I have
done a much better job promoting we are over the
past few days.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I feel like we've done it much better. I feel
like that was a button moment, but we can't do
it today. But that's all right, you know, well, this
this is my point. Okay, what's your point?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
We were trying to say, if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers
picking at the top of the second round, you're either
trading away that pick or you're going with.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Joey Portered you Joey portered you. I mean, how crazy
is that? How cool of a story is that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I mean that's what we That's what we said was yes.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
And you were saying, no, they might take a quarterback.
I say they should. I said that was what was
being discussed.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, you said, don't be surprised.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Yeah, and I and I put that out there because
one Jay Glazer. I'm gonna just call it out like
Jay said it. So I was just repeating it. I'm
not going to own that sure.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
That they didn't.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
He didn't say cornerback, because like there's so many times
someone says, oh he's a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
No, no, he said quarterback.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
He said if Hendon Hooker was still there was at
round two, let alone will Levis, that they would think
about taking him with their pick.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
That's what he said. Now you know what you did
get right though?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
You said will Levis should leave the draft after slipping
out of the first round.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yes, and he did. Good.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Come on, man, he should have stuck it out. Same suit,
same everything, same bo make it off everybody else.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
He's a good looking kid. His family, his siblings are
good looking siblings.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Anyone else could looking around him.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
His girlfriend is good looking. Everything was just good looking.
The only thing that was a bad look was he
didn't get his name called.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Was that was it?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That was it.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Otherwise everything was on point. Even mom looked good. Like
everybody's just good. Just a good looking family.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Now, God bless the Will Levis and the Levis family
and the Levi his girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Now that's out to y'all. Now they're going to Nashville.
And there's a lot of.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Good looking people in Nashville too. Yeah, there's a lot
of good people looking people in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Everybody good looking around him. It's just he was good looking.
Mind looking at him.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I didn't mind looking at them being on the camera,
not getting drafted. And they kept showing them and then
it was a new good looking sibling or new good
looking person, and it just started. The numbers started to
rack up.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And tally up. And I was like, how many good
looking sisters does it have?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
You couldn't stand up, you were I won't say that
it got that that you know, critical, or that that
I did not get that involved, but I will say
I mean, just at a glance, it was like wow.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Like every time they show Will, it's like Will's a
good looking dude, Like.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
He is like, he's a fine young man. And then
they just kept showing fine young ladies that we're sitting
with him, and most of them looked like him. That
was the weird thing.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
So let's see if you guys can guess this, all right,
I want to see if you when it.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Was one, the only way I was able to tell
her a part was her hair was darker than the
rest of them. That was the only thing that kind
of separated them. It is my darker hair, but you know,
it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So I just typed yes, yes, definitely not a dud
at all, dude, But I just typed in Will Levis
into Google. Okay, what would you guess the first thing?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
D me?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Meaning that is correct.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
So there's there's a lot of horny people out there
that just want to know who is Will I is
sitting with apparently at the NFL. And that's ridiculous. I mean,
it's preposterous that it's ridiculous. Yes, yes, I think it's ridiculous. Yeah,
that shouldn't be the first thing you want to know.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
The first thing you should want to know is how
does Will feel still sitting here waiting to get drafted?
What's the second, how good looking the people were around them,
and who are they and how old are they? That'll
work there?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
You go, that will work there?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
You go?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Not for me, you know, not for me.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
I just think for anybody who's eligible, yeah, and out there.
I mean, why not want success? You know, you are
the company that you keep and you know these people
were sitting at the NFL draft, which means that there's
some success success connected to them.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Yes, you do tend to not realize when you're in
that position, like or just even being in the spotlight,
like the ancillary things that come from that, Like I
remember just planning the festival and my sister's half jersey
and how much run that got.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Like people to this day will still come up and
they'll be like.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Hey, I remember seeing AJ's sister with that half cut
jersey on you guys still married, And I'm like, no,
my sister, Yes they're married. Like no one even got
the story straight. The only thing they remembered about is
the half jersey.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And I was like, it's so. I mean even the.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Draft, like sitting on there for a while and I
was with I had my high school sweetheart there with me,
and like that was what people would would talk about
our Google search or whatever. I mean, the tough part
about it is in some ways, like you're prepared for
the spotlight and everything that comes with it as an athlete,
especially when you played at a big university or you're
(32:03):
you know, in the spotlight from high school to college,
college to the NFL, but the people around you aren't.
And obviously the the internet can be a crazy place.
So I think that's the toughest part is you know,
it's not the tough part for Will. Will Will's in
a great scenario. Now he goes to the Tennessee Titans.
He doesn't have to rush to go play. They've got
(32:23):
Tannehill there, They've got a team that can run the football.
He doesn't have to do it all of his arm.
And by the way, it's close to where he played college.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Ball, right.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
That always plays a little bit of a factor too,
being in a familiar surroundings or somewhat. But it's like
everyone else are the ones that aren't prepared for that
and for that transition, for that moment what comes along
with it.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Like that's the toughest part of all of it. But
I'm just glad so many people enjoyed. You know, watch
the draft this week.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
I talk to my kids about that too. I told
both my sons Will Levis' girlfriend.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
No, I mean they have very they have probably came daddy,
what's happening.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I mean they have super attractive sisters. Ga Duddy so
that's her name. Yeah, Okay, she's a Penn Stater too.
By the way, did she look it up?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
What's her Nile status going on there?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I don't know she was.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
She might have been an athlete. I don't know, but
I'm pretty certain she's a Penn Stater. But yeah, I
was telling my sons.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
I was like, man, could you imagine being good enough
to go in the first round where you're at the
draft and we're sitting at the draft, I said, from
mom all the way down, I said, you got to
figure for man, that'll be six years so the baby
will be fourteen by then, so she'd be pretty pretty big,
almost the age of the middle child right now. But
(33:45):
they're all really good looking, like six foot built, well,
nice features, I said, got Lee, I said, the.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Only ugly dude there be me. But you know, Penn
Stater we are, Yeah, I told you, man, Yeah, we
do it all right, we do our up in State College.
Yes we are, yes, we are. Yeah, definitely are islands, bro.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yeah, you know what I mean, get you some LeVar
Islands at two ten, you know, go party at Chance
with my boy DJ Richter Richter Richter richteror Rick. Yeah
you know, yeah, we get it in. Yeah, we definitely
get it in. And some really good looking people in
State College. Well, now the world knows that. You know,
(34:28):
we're not the best kept secret anymore. So all the
recruits out there. If you were wondering if you should
go to the middle of the state because it's not
it's not Pittsburgh or Philly, or you want to go
somewhere else where it may be warmer. I mean, you know,
they're really good looking people's in central central Pennsylvania as well.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
You know, definitely are there. You go proof right here
that that is proof, a lot of proof. I mean,
that's that's that's proof. Shot with there. That's interesting. Will
Levis Uh no, not there, let's I don't know.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Uh it's oh well, at least it's not a competitor. No, no, no,
it's not a competitor. Definitely not a competitor. It's more
of a comrade a constituent.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Did you hear Mike Rabel with the same outlining? They
asked Mike Rabel.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Curvature, they asked. They asked Mike Rabel, They said, what
does this mean? Yeah, about that, but okay, make sure
we changed subjects like that. What does this mean for
the quarterback room? And he said, Ryan Tanneill is going
to be the starter, Malik Willis is going to be
the backup, and will Levis is going to be the
(35:46):
third quarterback on Monday.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
And that's how we're going to do it. Every day.
They're going to basically take it day by day.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
It feels like there could be an opportunity for will
Levis if he shines that he that he could get
that job. Like if it feels like if will Levis performs, well,
we saw this happen. Remember when the Eagles traded away
Sam Bradford. They brought in Carson Wentz and there was
an injury I believe in Minnesota, and they traded away
Sam Bradford. I just wonder if it gets to the
(36:14):
point where Tennessee looks at this and says, we're kind
of in a rebuilding spot.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
It feels like we've.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Done gone as far as we can with Ryan Tannehill,
and in that division, which everybody feels like Jacksonville is
the runaway favorite right now based on what they did
last year. I just wonder if we're going to see
will Levis sooner rather than later in comparison to where
he may have gone somewhere else in the draft. Towards
the end of the first round. Seems like there's a
lot worse situations and scenarios for will Levis and going
(36:41):
to Tennessee with Gia Duddy, assuming she goes with I.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Don't see I think if Tam Hill's there unless they
moved on from him or something. He's the guy, you know,
he kind of went through this last year with Blake
Willis and Lake Willis got drafted. There's a bunch of
hype around him, even though I think a lot of
people who watched this tape knew that he was going
to need some time to develop, and you know, they
put him in play and clearly he's not ready yet.
And it's probably one of the reasons why the Titans
(37:07):
went with will Levis when they took him there, because
they feel like he's probably got a better shot of.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Being the guy after Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
But this to me is more of a battle between
will Levis and Malik Willis for the backup spot and
then Ryan Tannehill is going to be the starter. I
just he he's got such a better foundation of you know, knowledge, experience,
you know, his his timing, anticipation within the offense, all
those things. And you talk to people you know last
year who going into like training camp, preseason all that,
(37:38):
they're like, you just can't you can't replicate that if
you don't have that experience in the NFL, it's hard
to replicate, especially for the coaching staff, the ease of
being able to have a guy that's you know, been there,
done that you're not worrying about him walking in the
huddle and give them the right play call. You know,
as much as that sounds like oversimplified for people out there,
(37:59):
when you got a rookie quarterback, you're worried about that.
You know, you're give him the call in his helmet
and he's repeating it and it's not anything he's done before,
because they don't you don't do it at the college level,
and so a lot of times you're making sure he's
just getting people lined up, he knows where people are
supposed to be. It is an entirely new process for
a lot of guys walking into the league. So I'm
not saying will Levi scan handle that or he won't
(38:21):
be ready at some point, But to me, it's it's
Tannehill his job unless they move on from him.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Which of Hendon Hooker in Detroit third round.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
I mean, he needs time anyway because of his knee.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
So this is this is one of those where you're
gonna see Jared Goff for a year and then after
this year, you know, once Hennon Hooker has had the
chance to be in the system, then they'll have to
make a decision on where they feel like he's at
and hopefully he can make enough progress through practice and
rehab where you know, maybe he could be on the
active roster to back up, or he can get some
live game reps. But torn ACL nowadays, I mean they're
(38:56):
they're really I mean they're pretty patient with it. You know,
usually it's it's going to be a ten or twelve months.
You know, the whole guy's coming back in six to
seven months. You know, that used to be a thought,
you know, Russia rushing guys back, but I think that's
also led to more you know, re injuries or issues
with it down down the road, so there's no reason
to rush him back.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
In my opinion, it's two pros and a cup of
Joe here. Fox Sports Radio LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonah.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Totally like derailed this whole entire segment.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
By the way, I don't know if there's so much
him as it was who you brought with him his
plus one.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
If you will. I'm just saying, if it was, will left,
is that that created it? Checking?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
What were we supposed to talk about that?
Speaker 3 (39:36):
I don't know. Well we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
I mean that the NBA is thrilled that the Golden
State Warriors eliminated the Kings because it sets up a
Golden State l A Lakers matchup in the next round.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
God there, that is hot. Yeah, so that is bad
to look forward to Draft plus one hot? Yeah, I agree.
I agree.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hammer. That's where we're at. That's where we're at. Yes,
where we're at.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, yeah, hang it out, brand new studio. Hey, Hey,
you know, Eddie's going to get a new perspective.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
He's going to he's going to appreciate me more because
he's going to see my facial expressions and he's going
to see my mannerisms and all those different things. When
I say the things that I'm saying, You're not just
going to hear my voice, which is kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Direct eye contact and I get to see him, do
you know what his pea hat on?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
You know, we're Pittsburgh got Yeah, so I'm talking about here.
I mean they're not They're not those Pittsford Penguins. You know,
well it's not in the playoffs anymore. The Boston Bruins.
What a disaster they tried?
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Why is it a disaster? It's like the President's Cup.
It's it's a curse, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Kind Of it seems that way, Ed East, You're the
NHL insider here you're an expert, historically biggest upset.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Of all time?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Or what are we talking about in the NHL as
far as the Bruins losing to the Panthers.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
List, I think it's definitely in the discussion for yeah,
like top two, top three.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Can I throw this question out there if you're a
Boston sports fan, what's worse? You have the greatest regular
season in NHL history and then you lose in the
opening round to the Florida Panthers, who, by the way,
I mean Florida.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Always seems to play them tough. Or the New England.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Patriots, that's the one you think that's worse? Hell yeah,
why because they go all the way to the Super Bowl?
Lose undefeated in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I think this is it's the first round, no way,
and the Patriots had a.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Three one series lead and it was won one game.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
You know those Cats came back.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, and then I just look at it like this.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Look out for the Cats.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
If you lose in the first round, it's like no harm,
no foul, because if you lose in the second rounds
like you lost in the second round. But if you
go undefeated and you're in the the last game, of
the year, the last game and you lose that bitch,
No way.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I do feel like for the players it would be
more depressing. But probably I don't know, after having that
season for the Bruins and you lose to the Cats
like that, the.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Kiets, but also with the Patriots, the Giants had played
them tough towards the end of the regular season. That
was a really good game. It was a neutral site,
this was at home. This was overtime, and they had
one lead, and you had a lead in that game,
and they had a three to two lead.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
They had they had, they had the lead in this
game the Patriots had. The Patriots had to lead, they
had to lead.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
You had to catch the ball on the helmet, like
think about that, Oh, was that the bubble gup helmet.
That's the bubble bubblegum helmet stuck stick to my helmet,
the David Tyree catch. Yeah, I mean think about that.
I don't HELI Manning had to scramble for twenty minutes
and throw the ball up and.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Rodney Harrison, which yeah, that's true, right, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
In fact, you can scrambled that log.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Have y'all flown through Boston Airport Logan Airport there, Boston.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, okay, so let me just this picture for you.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
Okay, if you went up and looked up though, like
a Wikipedia page, every one.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Of those teams, all right, the Bruins.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
The Celtics, the Patriots, the Red Sox, they have every
championship banner hanging up as.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You go through security.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
It's most you think, you think that you've seen success
for a sports town. Then you walk through that and
you go, oh, these people are kind of spoiled. Like now,
I don't think they take for granted what's happened. Like
I think there are great sports down They're great. It's
a great fan base. But they've had so much success
(04:28):
that eventually you're going to have some of the downside
with it too. Like you're going to have the New
England Patriots going undefeated, being on the brink of being
the greatest team NFL history, only to lose the Super
Bowl to the Giants, or the greatest you know, the
greatest season NHL history, only to lose to the Florida
Panthers the Cats in the first round.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Like, get that. Stuff's going to happen.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
It's just it's gonna happen when you're that successful and
you're always in the playoffs and you're you're playing for
a super Bowl and you.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Played for what eight How many did many did Field.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Belichick and Todd Brady played for over the period period
of time together.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Ye okay, there you go, Like you.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
When you when you put yourself in competition that much, Yeah,
you're gonna be on the wrong side of it a couple.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Of times too.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I played for seven years.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Perspective for you, one play two playoffs during my time,
I played in one and I played for seven years
only playoffs.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
We ever once we lost in New England.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
So I mean, I'm just saying, like they went to
more Super Bowls than I had years in the league.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
For real, Like it's worth just the flight, just going
through Boston security, when you see all the all the banter,
it's all the it's like, wow, it's.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
A party town.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Man.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
If you didn't know, like what I didn't realize I was.
I was dating a chick that went to Harvard Med
School and it was a low key she was. She
would it's freaking beautiful too.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Ut package, total package. Yes, I mean I was in
Boston quite a bit, but like there's that pockety blow dark,
like take down a elephant, blow dark on that one,
all right, And and you know they had like that
(06:24):
row of like right, I like them. I bobbed for him.
I didn't pick them. I bobbed for him. I'm talking
about basting man. I had the clan chatta.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It was good too.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I tell you, the clan chatta is different in Boston.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, so the main, the main, the main what is
it the lobster or what what's the main lobster? Yeah,
or crab or whatever it is? Yeah, yeah, whatever, lobster roll. Yeah,
I mean it's there. It was there in Boston. I'll
(07:06):
tell you that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It is funny that Brady mentions that didn't bring it
from Maine. It is called it wasn't called Boston crab.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It is.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
It is funny that we want to catch Boston crabs.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
People have at Boston.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I didn't want to catch them. You don't want to
catch them, and you don't want to house them.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It is you damn sure don't want to eat them.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, definitely not definitely not Joe Joey, your breakfast everybody.
But it's it is funny that Brady mentioned Brady mentions
flying when it comes to Boston, because uh, well there
there was a comp made on the loss for the
Bruins last night. Take it away, Jack Edwards on nesson television, by.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
When's the series?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
This short lid in the second.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Setting a team? You know.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
This series is the first thing is that Harry carry
It's not Eric Carrey. I think he was just so stunned.
I mean that sounded like Harry Carrey.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh man, you drinking at the start of a.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Boston spelled backwards. It's not stop, Hi spelled backwards? Good?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But was it Tampa before that?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Tampa?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Tampa was the President's Cup winner and then they lost
in the first round. I'm trying to think who was
the last one to do it?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yes, it was Tampa. I swept like Columbus.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Or some people call the Manitoba sweater coats.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You know some people sweat who calls them that?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
I was at a Panthers game one time and these
guys were annihilated. And this you have to understand, this
is a while back because before the Panthers got good,
their ownership kind of changed over.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They were sparsely attended.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
I mean it was it was always like one of
the funny things. They shoot off the cannon with the
T shirts and you're like, all right, it is gonna
hit a seat or a fan, and like the favorite
was the seat, Like the odds wrong were favorite towards
the seat, and then you'd see a kid or someone
would eventually run over. There's times where like it'd be
the people cleaning up after the game when we get
a free T shirt because there was just a shot
(09:40):
that cannon.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, I just they shot it to somewhere where no
one was at.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
But they changed over ownership, a lot of changes within
that organization, and they've been I mean they've been competitive since,
much more competitive, better attended. There's a lot of a
lot of hype around them, and so but we were
at a game and it was back then. It was
when the Columbus bluejack My brother in law was playing
for them, and so they were in town and these
these I don't know where these guys are from, but
(10:05):
they just kept calling them the Manitoba sweater coats instead
of the Columbus Blue Jackets, So.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't know where they got. It was one of
the funniest things I've ever heard.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
They were hammered, well, like trying to get it out
and trying to like just trying to say Manitoba, Manitoba
sweater coats.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, Manitoba sweat of coats. I mean we had we
had three games seven is kind of hard to say. Yeah,
like main lobster in Boston. By the way, can I
say this the Russell Wilson jinks on Colorado and leaving
Seattle just continues.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Now you go.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Now you got the abs losing to the crack in
last night. Unfor it. I'm just listen.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
By the way, there's no way in hell that your
brother in law is anywhere close to one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
He looked like he was really banged up towards the
end of that game trying to get get to the bench.
He was almost doubled over just trying to reach the bench.
And I don't think it he's.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Getting shot up just to play right now. It's got
a groin injury, which for hockey is obviously pretty important.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Joining the club with the juices of the gods.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, the problem is, I don't know that toward Doll
is going to fix it. He might get neither.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Oh no, it's not going to fix it. Yeah, he
might get through. Fix it. You'll get you'll get through.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
I ain't say it's going to fix it. I said,
don't fix it, Jesus, just just get me through. That
tour doll will get you through.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Oh man, she's where you're hitting me to day, Doc,
the arm, the booty, Where are you getting me?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Right there?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, you're gonna put the band aid right there. I
don't need a band aid, Doc, I'm good. And then
when it's all God has a feel bad. But that's
like Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
It's like Tuesday when you get when you get the
feeling back, like you're sore Sunday night, like you when
you start to come down off of your your adrenaline
high and all that stuff. You feel it a little bit,
but you don't feel it to like Monday, you're stiff
as hell. Tuesday you're like, am I alive?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Like?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Am I gonna make it? And go figure?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Because you only have Wednesday, Thursday, Friday really left like
Wednesday and tuesdays. Generally in old days, Tuesday was bloody Tuesday,
so that was the day you were going to bang,
you know. So if you felt that bad on Tuesday,
it was pretty bad for you, you know, Yeah, but
that toward all gets you through don Yeah, toward Hall,
(12:32):
Nectar of the Gods, Nectar of the Gods.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So, Aaron Rodgers man making himself at home?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
How about that?
Speaker 4 (12:52):
How about you're Roger really making himself at home. He's
already working with the Jets. He's already there at the facility,
Roberts speaking glowingly about Aaron Rodgers and just what he's
done already in his time with the New York Jets.
He's even going to a couple of games. He was
at the Knicks game yesterday, he was at the Rangers
game the night before. How about how about Aaron Rodgers
(13:14):
trying to make his presence felt there? Is he rubbing
me in, rubbing me in the fact that he didn't
have all those opportunities to have a social life in
Green Bays.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'm just asking here, I mean shots fired.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
You can't control you know, green Bay not having anything
else other than the Packers.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
My gosh.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I mean, he is a part owner with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
It does feel like, you know, maybe they says, you know,
and look, I'm not trying to be you know, disrespectful
or anything, but I mean the Knicks did lose that game.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
They did so playing well, but yeah, yeah, Jimmy Butler,
though we don't know about his right ankle.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
That's always something I saw like a two.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
And a half minute clip though, as they were going throughout,
like all the celebrities who are there in attendance.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And it's pretty funny that they'd show each each each
celebrity and.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Sometimes like a past New York Nick and you know,
the crowd be like yeah yeah, I kept kind of
going and then there'd be some like.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
People didn't know and he was like, oh.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Yeah, it's like there's nothing, like you really didn't hear
anything at all. And I was like, all right, but
that's the environment man, Madison Square Garden. It's just such
a such a cool place.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
You know.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
And by the way, I'm glad he's like going out
and about and taking all this stuff in. And I
think that's a step for Aaron Rodgers, who throughout the
course of his career in Green Bay, like wasn't recluse,
but was obviously not as much in the limelight.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
And maybe that had a little something to do with
what you're saying there, Jonas.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
But now I think if you're gonna be the New
York Jets quarterback and a New York quarterback in general,
you have to be comfortable with being in the spotlight.
You have to be comfortable with going to those things,
experiencing them and being around, you know people.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's just it's a it's a or of the deal.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
And the fact that he's already outdoing it, I think
it shows you how this thing's gonna go. Like I
think some people might have felt like you didn't feel
comfortable with doing those sorts of things, but he seems
very comfortable, you know, taking it all in and kind
of experiencing what is this this second life if you will,
Within the game of football, he is a.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Star, and.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Listen, if he wins, his stardom goes to a whole,
entirely different place. So he's in the perfect He's in
a perfect scenario and situation to be able to, you know,
he doesn't have to say people are coming here for
Aaron Rodgers in New York City, and if he's able
(15:46):
to win. I mean, look at Broadway Joe. People don't
even you, You would not even be able to recollect
what Broadway Joe looked like playing football, but they still
he is so beloved, He's so popular. You know, he's
doing you know, potty potty commercials and you know, other
(16:07):
types of commercials.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
To this day. He wore pantios.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I mean, bro Broadway Joe. If you know about Broadway
Joe to dude was just he was. He was a maverick,
he was a he was a trendsetter.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I mean he was.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
He was the dude. He's a p a guy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes he was.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
What where where is Joe bet Beaver Beaver Falls he's from.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
We always make fun of the fact that he left
he left that Western pa accent and dialect behind and
and totally adopt adopted the Alabama, the Alabama way of talking.
You know, he's got real, he got we we sound country,
but he sounds super Alabama in country. So but anyway,
(16:50):
I just think as it applies to to Aaron Rodgers
in the situation that he's in right now, if he
is able to have a measured level of success. And
I'm mean measure meaning if they can make it to
the playoffs, win their division.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
We're gonna ask that, what's the right expectation? Don't think
win the division first?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
The bill is still there. I think if they're able
to win the division. You're now saying, with the bill
still there, they were able to win the division.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
What would be considered a failure for Rogers not winning
the division? I don't.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
So here's here's what I'll say about that is they
don't need to win the division to win a super Bowl.
I'm not I'm not saying I'm not saying the super
Bowl is the I mean, ultimately it's the end goal.
But I'm not saying if they don't win it's a bust.
I would say, if they don't make the playoffs, that's
a that's.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
A big disappointment.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Like this whole thing is building towards them being a
playoff team and then them making a run.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
And I could see that, but I still think, yeah,
if they made the playoffs, that that that's yeah, because
because they.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Don't need to win, you know, the division to make
the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I think if they didn't make the playoffs, that's what
everyone's a year from now looking back.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
On what the hell just happened.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah, you know, if they took a step forward and
we're able to make the playoffs, that would you would
have to consider the season to be a success.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
The AFC is so tough thought.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
I would almost say playoffs though, and a win, mmm,
like you got to get you got to get to
the divisional round.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, you got to get at least to the divisional round,
you know.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
And look, if you can win the division, to your
point of bar and you get the host a wildcard
round playoff game or i mean, god forbid, your top
overall seed, you get a buye and you're hosting divisional
round Like that's a home run. You're the number one
overall seed in that division as competitive as it's going
to be in the AFC East.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's a home run.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
But let's just say you you do win the division,
you're hosting a wildcard game like that to me, you know,
Woody Johnson started looking at saying a year from now,
we were we didn't know if we could make the
playoffs because of our quarterback, And now I'm not saying
that they're making it because of it.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
But we feel like we got a shot to win
a super Bowl because of it, like we should.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
We're going to be in the playoffs and in the
tournament every year because of our roster and because of
our quarterback.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Well, what did you say last week? He gives you
three extra wins? So yeah, doubt yees.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
So there are a ten win team next year, just
with three extra wins based on what they did this
past season and assuming they're gonna have, you know, a
better luck health wise, as far as you know, what
happened that game in Denver when they lost Breeze Hall
and they lost you know, the offensive lineman who went
down with the injury the same Yeah, it just felt
(19:25):
like everything sort of went downhill from there, and then
you've got all the chaos and.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Everything to go along with it.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I just I don't know, barring health, I don't know
how this doesn't work and isn't a success for the
New York Jets because the AFC is tough, But there's
only really like I would say, I'm I'm more confident
in Kansas City and Cincinnati and the AFC. I don't
even know about the Bills, Like, I just think those
(19:51):
two teams, I would say, right now, clearly ahead, I
like them more than I like the Jets. The Bills
feel like things are just a little harder. Question Mark
leaving out of this He's in this past year Buffalo.
It's just there's something weird, like did they hit their ceiling?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
That's that I asked myself the moment they lost that
their last game, did they hit their ceiling?
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Like?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Why did leave did Why did Stefan Diggs panic and
freak out?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
You know?
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I looked at their draft and felt like it was
a little bit of that, Like I I mean, look,
Dalton Kin Kaid's a good player out of Utah. I
don't get it when you've got Dawson Knox there who's
under contract till twenty twenty six. So maybe they want
to play more two tight end sets, but it just
felt like a bit of a reach at that spot.
(20:38):
And did they trade up to take him as well?
Maybe they got that pick previously, uh, in a transaction,
But anyway, the point is like that was a pick
where I was like, huh, you know you need help
you up? You have bullied against the Cincinnati Bengals in
the playoffs last year. You need help up front, and
(20:58):
now they did get o Iris Torrents in the second round.
Who was, you know, one of the better interior offensive
linemen in this draft class, A big six five three fifty. Like,
that's a big dude, and he's gonna move some people around,
be a road grader. And I like the shorter pick
in the fifth round. He'll add some depth to the
to the wide receiver group. But I'm just sitting there
kind of watching it going, I was thinking the exact
(21:20):
same thing you just said, LeVar, because I thought back
to the playoffs. I'm looking at the draft going, man,
maybe they're just maybe this is it, Like maybe that's
as good as they're going to be able to get
to at this point based on all the things evolved.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Well, plus two twenty five right now, you want to
get in on DraftKings plus two twenty five for the
Jets to win the AFC East.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
It feels like, I don't. I don't think that's a
bad bet. I really don't.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
You'd have to think that it's only I mean, and
I know I've listened to some people talking about this before.
They've said, go through the past few seasons for the Packers.
Sometimes they've got off to a slow start, and which
is odd because I was like, wait, they went like
thirteen and three or thirteen and four, whatever it was a.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Few years ago go, so they couldn't have got after
that slow of a start.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
But the thought is that there's the potential chance for
value to me at least now, because I think once
they start playing games, that's when you're probably seeing those
odds we bet down some as the season goes on.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
The schedules getting released reportedly May eleventh, so it's coming
up in about a week and a half, and I'm
just I'm wondering, the Jets have got to be one
of the primetime games Week one. Correct, They've got to be,
whether it's, you know, one of the Monday night games,
if they're doing double Barrel Monday Night games this year,
(22:37):
if it's they feel like that's.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Going to all that.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Are they still officially calling it the double Barrel?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I don't know, because I don't know if they're going
to be doing that again because they got rid of it,
I think last year, but then brought it back for
like Week two or something.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
They just they did some funky stuff least you're.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
The one who's coined the phrase though, double barrel.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, big time. I mean, look, that's that's how it's
got to be. Somebody's got to come up with this stuff,
and they got to be creative enough. And clearly the
powers will be the NFL weren't creative enough to come
up with it. So that's why I'm here, you know,
try and come up with some of these names for
this stuff. But the Jets have got to be featured
in one of these primetime games. I would feel like
that's that's the move, that's the approach they're going to take.
(23:13):
And then when it comes to just the season opener,
obviously we know it's going to be Kansas City is
going to be hosting the debut game, the premiere game,
the first game of the season, the launch of the
NFL this upcoming year. And it feels like the Bills, Bengals,
and Eagles make the most sense as far as who
Kansas City would open up with at home, and my
(23:35):
money's on the Cincinnati Bengals.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (23:38):
That could be very very spicy one because those are
all scheduled to be home games for Kansas City. Yeah,
what do you think about that? I mean, why not
sincey Buffalo or Philly to open up the season for
the Bills, well, or for the Chiefs rather for the Chiefs. Yeah,
I would love for it to be a rematch Bills
(24:01):
no Eagles, Eagles.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah, I love for beat Eagles. You think they'd roll
that back?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Week one? Philly Kansas City? If that was the last
game we saw last year?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I mean the way the way it kind of didn't
end but ended. But there's some bad blood between Kansas
City and Cincy. The mayors the Bengals kind of have caseys,
you know, cares. They kind of had their ticket, you know,
kind of had their number. I didn't even know the
mayors were going back and forth. Brady tipped me off
(24:32):
to them they were going back and forth. I had
no idea, didn't. He just loves that stuff.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Oh, by the way, you can't bring up Travis Kelce
and not acknowledge what happened this weekend. What do you
mean when he spiked at Lombardi? He drank a beer
off and then it spiked it on the stage.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Did oh he did? And like people were like, this
is going one of two ways?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Either the Chiefs are cursed now because of this, or
it's it's like maybe they own it, so that's what
they can do with it.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Didn't Gronk Lombard they got baseball you remember, the lady,

terribly offended that they were throwing it from from boat
to boat when.

Like this.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
He literally spiked it. Unless it's like a fake one
or something.
Speaker 5 (25:23):

kind of hope it was real because if he spiked
the real Lombardi trophy, that might You called the other dude,
who did you call?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Ah? You called him a savage for finishing the rep.
Speaker 5 (25:36):

Speaker 4 (26:43):
You know, I feel like Brady Quinn and I have
done a much better job promoting we are over the
past few days.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I feel like we've done it much better. I feel
like that was a button moment, but we can't do
it today. But that's all right, you know, well, this
this is my point. Okay, what's your point?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
We were trying to say, if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers
picking at the top of the second round, you're either
trading away that pick or you're going with.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Joey Portered you Joey portered you. I mean, how crazy
is that? How cool of a story is that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I mean that's what we That's what we said was yes.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
And you were saying, no, they might take a quarterback.
I say they should. I said that was what was
being discussed.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, you said, don't be surprised.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Yeah, and I and I put that out there because
one Jay Glazer. I'm gonna just call it out like
Jay said it. So I was just repeating it. I'm
not going to own that sure.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
That they didn't.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
He didn't say cornerback, because like there's so many times
someone says, oh he's a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
No, no, he said quarterback.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
He said if Hendon Hooker was still there was at
round two, let alone will Levis, that they would think
about taking him with their pick.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
That's what he said. Now you know what you did
get right though?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
You said will Levis should leave the draft after slipping
out of the first round.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yes, and he did. Good.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Come on, man, he should have stuck it out. Same suit,
same everything, same bo make it off everybody else.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
He's a good looking kid. His family, his siblings are
good looking siblings.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Anyone else could looking around him.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
His girlfriend is good looking. Everything was just good looking.
The only thing that was a bad look was he
didn't get his name called.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Was that was it?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That was it.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Otherwise everything was on point. Even mom looked good. Like
everybody's just good. Just a good looking family.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Now, God bless the Will Levis and the Levis family
and the Levi his girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Now that's out to y'all. Now they're going to Nashville.
And there's a lot of.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Good looking people in Nashville too. Yeah, there's a lot
of good people looking people in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Everybody good looking around him. It's just he was good looking.
Mind looking at him.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I didn't mind looking at them being on the camera,
not getting drafted. And they kept showing them and then
it was a new good looking sibling or new good
looking person, and it just started. The numbers started to
rack up.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And tally up. And I was like, how many good
looking sisters does it have?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
You couldn't stand up, you were I won't say that
it got that that you know, critical, or that that
I did not get that involved, but I will say
I mean, just at a glance, it was like wow.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Like every time they show Will, it's like Will's a
good looking dude, Like.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
He is like, he's a fine young man. And then
they just kept showing fine young ladies that we're sitting
with him, and most of them looked like him. That
was the weird thing.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
So let's see if you guys can guess this, all right,
I want to see if you when it.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Was one, the only way I was able to tell
her a part was her hair was darker than the
rest of them. That was the only thing that kind
of separated them. It is my darker hair, but you know,
it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So I just typed yes, yes, definitely not a dud
at all, dude, But I just typed in Will Levis
into Google. Okay, what would you guess the first thing?
Speaker 2 (30:02):
D me?
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Meaning that is correct.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
So there's there's a lot of horny people out there
that just want to know who is Will I is
sitting with apparently at the NFL. And that's ridiculous. I mean,
it's preposterous that it's ridiculous. Yes, yes, I think it's ridiculous. Yeah,
that shouldn't be the first thing you want to know.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
The first thing you should want to know is how
does Will feel still sitting here waiting to get drafted?
What's the second, how good looking the people were around them,
and who are they and how old are they? That'll
work there?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
You go, that will work there?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
You go?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Not for me, you know, not for me.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
I just think for anybody who's eligible, yeah, and out there.
I mean, why not want success? You know, you are
the company that you keep and you know these people
were sitting at the NFL draft, which means that there's
some success success connected to them.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Yes, you do tend to not realize when you're in
that position, like or just even being in the spotlight,
like the ancillary things that come from that, Like I
remember just planning the festival and my sister's half jersey
and how much run that got.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Like people to this day will still come up and
they'll be like.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Hey, I remember seeing AJ's sister with that half cut
jersey on you guys still married, And I'm like, no,
my sister, Yes they're married. Like no one even got
the story straight. The only thing they remembered about is
the half jersey.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And I was like, it's so. I mean even the.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Draft, like sitting on there for a while and I
was with I had my high school sweetheart there with me,
and like that was what people would would talk about
our Google search or whatever. I mean, the tough part
about it is in some ways, like you're prepared for
the spotlight and everything that comes with it as an athlete,
especially when you played at a big university or you're
(32:03):
you know, in the spotlight from high school to college,
college to the NFL, but the people around you aren't.
And obviously the the internet can be a crazy place.
So I think that's the toughest part is you know,
it's not the tough part for Will. Will Will's in
a great scenario. Now he goes to the Tennessee Titans.
He doesn't have to rush to go play. They've got
(32:23):
Tannehill there, They've got a team that can run the football.
He doesn't have to do it all of his arm.
And by the way, it's close to where he played college.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Ball, right.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
That always plays a little bit of a factor too,
being in a familiar surroundings or somewhat. But it's like
everyone else are the ones that aren't prepared for that
and for that transition, for that moment what comes along
with it.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Like that's the toughest part of all of it. But
I'm just glad so many people enjoyed. You know, watch
the draft this week.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
I talk to my kids about that too. I told
both my sons Will Levis' girlfriend.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
No, I mean they have very they have probably came daddy,
what's happening.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I mean they have super attractive sisters. Ga Duddy so
that's her name. Yeah, Okay, she's a Penn Stater too.
By the way, did she look it up?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
What's her Nile status going on there?
Speaker 3 (33:16):
I don't know she was.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
She might have been an athlete. I don't know, but
I'm pretty certain she's a Penn Stater. But yeah, I
was telling my sons.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
I was like, man, could you imagine being good enough
to go in the first round where you're at the
draft and we're sitting at the draft, I said, from
mom all the way down, I said, you got to
figure for man, that'll be six years so the baby
will be fourteen by then, so she'd be pretty pretty big,
almost the age of the middle child right now. But
(33:45):
they're all really good looking, like six foot built, well,
nice features, I said, got Lee, I said, the.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Only ugly dude there be me. But you know, Penn
Stater we are, Yeah, I told you, man, Yeah, we
do it all right, we do our up in State College.
Yes we are, yes, we are. Yeah, definitely are islands, bro.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yeah, you know what I mean, get you some LeVar
Islands at two ten, you know, go party at Chance
with my boy DJ Richter Richter Richter richteror Rick. Yeah
you know, yeah, we get it in. Yeah, we definitely
get it in. And some really good looking people in
State College. Well, now the world knows that. You know,
(34:28):
we're not the best kept secret anymore. So all the
recruits out there. If you were wondering if you should
go to the middle of the state because it's not
it's not Pittsburgh or Philly, or you want to go
somewhere else where it may be warmer. I mean, you know,
they're really good looking people's in central central Pennsylvania as well.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
You know, definitely are there. You go proof right here
that that is proof, a lot of proof. I mean,
that's that's that's proof. Shot with there. That's interesting. Will
Levis Uh no, not there, let's I don't know.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Uh it's oh well, at least it's not a competitor. No, no, no,
it's not a competitor. Definitely not a competitor. It's more
of a comrade a constituent.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Did you hear Mike Rabel with the same outlining? They
asked Mike Rabel.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Curvature, they asked. They asked Mike Rabel, They said, what
does this mean? Yeah, about that, but okay, make sure
we changed subjects like that. What does this mean for
the quarterback room? And he said, Ryan Tanneill is going
to be the starter, Malik Willis is going to be
the backup, and will Levis is going to be the
(35:46):
third quarterback on Monday.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
And that's how we're going to do it. Every day.
They're going to basically take it day by day.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
It feels like there could be an opportunity for will
Levis if he shines that he that he could get
that job. Like if it feels like if will Levis performs, well,
we saw this happen. Remember when the Eagles traded away
Sam Bradford. They brought in Carson Wentz and there was
an injury I believe in Minnesota, and they traded away
Sam Bradford. I just wonder if it gets to the
(36:14):
point where Tennessee looks at this and says, we're kind
of in a rebuilding spot.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
It feels like we've.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Done gone as far as we can with Ryan Tannehill,
and in that division, which everybody feels like Jacksonville is
the runaway favorite right now based on what they did
last year. I just wonder if we're going to see
will Levis sooner rather than later in comparison to where
he may have gone somewhere else in the draft. Towards
the end of the first round. Seems like there's a
lot worse situations and scenarios for will Levis and going
(36:41):
to Tennessee with Gia Duddy, assuming she goes with I.
Speaker 6 (36:47):
Don't see I think if Tam Hill's there unless they
moved on from him or something. He's the guy, you know,
he kind of went through this last year with Blake
Willis and Lake Willis got drafted. There's a bunch of
hype around him, even though I think a lot of
people who watched this tape knew that he was going
to need some time to develop, and you know, they
put him in play and clearly he's not ready yet.
And it's probably one of the reasons why the Titans
(37:07):
went with will Levis when they took him there, because
they feel like he's probably got a better shot of.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Being the guy after Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
But this to me is more of a battle between
will Levis and Malik Willis for the backup spot and
then Ryan Tannehill is going to be the starter. I
just he he's got such a better foundation of you know, knowledge, experience,
you know, his his timing, anticipation within the offense, all
those things. And you talk to people you know last
year who going into like training camp, preseason all that,
(37:38):
they're like, you just can't you can't replicate that if
you don't have that experience in the NFL, it's hard
to replicate, especially for the coaching staff, the ease of
being able to have a guy that's you know, been there,
done that you're not worrying about him walking in the
huddle and give them the right play call. You know,
as much as that sounds like oversimplified for people out there,
(37:59):
when you got a rookie quarterback, you're worried about that.
You know, you're give him the call in his helmet
and he's repeating it and it's not anything he's done before,
because they don't you don't do it at the college level,
and so a lot of times you're making sure he's
just getting people lined up, he knows where people are
supposed to be. It is an entirely new process for
a lot of guys walking into the league. So I'm
not saying will Levi scan handle that or he won't
(38:21):
be ready at some point, But to me, it's it's
Tannehill his job unless they move on from him.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Which of Hendon Hooker in Detroit third round.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
I mean, he needs time anyway because of his knee.
Speaker 6 (38:35):
So this is this is one of those where you're
gonna see Jared Goff for a year and then after
this year, you know, once Hennon Hooker has had the
chance to be in the system, then they'll have to
make a decision on where they feel like he's at
and hopefully he can make enough progress through practice and
rehab where you know, maybe he could be on the
active roster to back up, or he can get some
live game reps. But torn ACL nowadays, I mean they're
(38:56):
they're really I mean they're pretty patient with it. You know,
usually it's it's going to be a ten or twelve months.
You know, the whole guy's coming back in six to
seven months. You know, that used to be a thought,
you know, Russia rushing guys back, but I think that's
also led to more you know, re injuries or issues
with it down down the road, so there's no reason
to rush him back.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
In my opinion, it's two pros and a cup of
Joe here. Fox Sports Radio LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonah.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Totally like derailed this whole entire segment.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
By the way, I don't know if there's so much
him as it was who you brought with him his
plus one.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
If you will. I'm just saying, if it was, will left,
is that that created it? Checking?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
What were we supposed to talk about that?
Speaker 3 (39:36):
I don't know. Well we're gonna.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
I mean that the NBA is thrilled that the Golden
State Warriors eliminated the Kings because it sets up a
Golden State l A Lakers matchup in the next round.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
God there, that is hot. Yeah, so that is bad
to look forward to Draft plus one hot? Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
