Speaker 2 (01:58):
So. The New York Jets have begun.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Of their offseason program and Aaron Rodgers was there. He
is there. It's May. He's practicing. He's showing up at
Knicks games, as we talked about yesterday. He's showing up
at Rangers games as we talked about, even though the
Rangers just got eliminated in seven games. Aaron Rodgers is
there making his presence felt for the New York Jets
(02:23):
and ready to take on this season as the starting
quarterback of the Jets. And in my mind right now,
despite what the odds tell you, that is your MVP
for this upcoming season. Aaron Rodgers call my shot right now.
Oh wow, that was bod is that sixteen to one
right now?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Sixteen to one?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I see you, Jonas.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
It's a narrative driven award. And if the Jets go
from a seven win team, media, would you imagine it's
going down Aaron Rodgers sixteen to one.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
He's the biggest name in sports if he has success. God,
the biggest.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Game last year, remember the last the way the media
treated the Jets, Yes, just fawning over them and even
Zach Wilson just all the And I got criticized for
criticizing the media for making up so much height before
we saw anything. This is actually justified though, Like this
is a four time NFL MVP of Super Bowl champion,
(03:21):
a first ballot Hall of Famer. You can hype this
up like this, It's okay to blow this out of
proportion with his expectations. One hundred percent is justified. Like
this is real. And to that point, I just hope
he gets the benefit of the doubt and the same
treatment that you gave your your Jets quarterback last year
(03:42):
around this time heading into the season. Well, and that's
my concern because you know, he's done some things and
said some things that doesn't necessarily align with them and
so I think, if anything, this is just going to
expose more of the people that have an agenda as
opposed to who are just running about the Jets as
a sports Do you.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Think that's still going to persist though next year with
the Jets that hope not. I mean, if it does,
then we got to take we got to start questioning
who's covering sports if they can't let go of somebody's
decision they made a couple of years ago, and they're
going to let it linger and carry on to a
new team. And what because he's aloof because he wants
(04:20):
to be a little bit private, and because he outsmarted
the media, now they're going to hold on to grudges
all these years later. I mean, come on, man, for
God's sake, sixteen to one, sixteen to one, you can
get it right now courtesy of our friends and.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Draft wins this year in New York.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
It's a rap like he's he's like the man, he's
the man, Like you want to see him on more
TV shows. You want to see him might make an
appearance in a movie. He might get to actually host Jeopardy,
he might get the Hope Jeopardy. What he might do SNL.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm just saying, oh, he'll do Saturday a life. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I'm just telling you it's it's nothing. It's like it's
full steam ahead. It's like all systems go. If he
wins in New York this year, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I mean he'd be what would it be fair to
say if he won a Super Bowl with the Jets?
What have you be? Bigger than Joe Namath?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Oh? Easily easily.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Let me tell you historically speaking the NFL, NFL.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Bruh, the merger, if he won a Super Bowl with
the New York Jets, he's easily man name a figure
in New York sports that he isn't bigger than outside
of the Yankees. That's what I would challenge you to say.
I mean challenge you on because you could go Eli Manning,
you know, but in reality, I mean you can always say,
(05:42):
well look at what look at what Aaron Rodgers did
to come in and win that one Super Bowl with
the Jets. I don't know that there's anyone LT. You know,
maybe LT from a football stand from a standpoint in
New York, because I'm a larger figure. If he goes
in and wins the Super Okay, you guys have played there.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
The Giants have a grasp on the football marketing still there,
but the Jets.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But the Jets have a very strong contingency of fans
as well. It's very strong, it's very pronounced. The Giants
seem to be more pop culture. The Jets are more
like grit, gritty, yeah yeah, like more the blue collar
version of it. It's like the Giants are like the
superstar like a listers, whereas it's like the Jets are
(06:28):
like I bang with the Jets, Like it's it's different.
It's a different type of deal. But they're they're all
popular though.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh yeah, it's the it's the number one media market
in the country. It's it doesn't matter if it's divided,
it's still it's powerful. So I think the one thing
he has going for him, as opposed to name it,
at least in regards to like the popularity that would
come with it, is you're playing in the day and
age of social media. So to like Levar's point, and
(06:59):
really what we're talking about, is everything a single thing
he wants to do, could, I mean, it's all gonna
be amplified because of the day and age in which
you know, we're he's playing and what he'd be bringing
to the Jets. I mean, you're talking about there's older
generations who remember a Joe name of Super Bowl, but
not younger generations. And they're gonna be the ones who
(07:20):
are amplifying it because they live in that world of
social media and social you know, internet platforms and all that.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
It's wild to think how long it's been since they've
been actually good. We'd like, like, they haven't had a
winning season since twenty fifteen, so it's been a significant amount.
And that year they didn't they didn't even go to
the playoffs ago.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I know you're like, oh, but that's just because we're
getting old. That's what happens when it's twenty twenty three
and you're like, no, that was like three, oh no,
that's going on almost eight years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Jeez.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Yeah, you got to go all the way back to
last time. I mean, Rex Ryan, they went to those
back to back conference champions games.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But and then they're twenty and there.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Is the potential that I think they're one if I
have this correct, they're one of the handful of teams
that qualify for hard knocks. I wonder if it's the best.
I mean, there's so many storylines attached to it, but
Rogers getting there with the Jets, you throw them on
hard knocks like they might actually break the hard knocks curse.
(08:23):
They might actually go out and have a decent season.
And I hope he stays healthy because the more that
I think about this, the more that I go, I
don't understand. I don't know how this doesn't work if
he's healthy. I just don't know how this doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
They were good early on last year when they were healthy,
they were good, and you'd assume they're going to be
better this year.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So they won games, they won.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Games, well, they won games, they won games, and then
they fell off, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I mean, we kind of go back to the Cleveland
game that was one of the most improbable comebacks ever
that was aided largely by Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Very true, very true. I mean a willing partestip.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Bit in that game where the Cleveland Browns, who uh.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Who was it? They got? Was it? Why am I missing?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Who's the receiver that Joe Flacco found late in that game?
Was it Garrett Wilson? I think it was Garrett Wilson
and the wide open and the crowd was like, what
happened here?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
How did this? How did all this happen?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I just they So there was that game, and there
were some other improbable spots that they were in. And then,
if you remember, Jets fans kept every time they won
a game that they shouldn't have won, Jets fans kept
tweeting at Brady Quinn letting them know, you said they
wouldn't do this, You said they were going to win
this game.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
You said they were going to win that fell off
a cliff.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Did you get more heat for the CJ. Stroud stuff
or for the Jets last year? Was Zach Wilson bring?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I don't know. I mean the Jets thing obviously lasted
a while, well not that long, because they fell off
like I thought they would. But and the other thing
is I kind of played into it because I did
donate five thousand dollars, so I don't need a thousand
bucks for every win they ad After the first two,
because so many people on social media, Jets fans in particular,
you know, thought that they were like proving a point.
(10:07):
I was like, all right, well let's make some let's
have some fun, let's make some good about this I'll
do it, Nate a thousand bucks, and I called on
Jets fans to to help. You know, Donate participated did nothing,
which is exactly what you'd expect from Jets fans. They
would be all talk and actually no action behind that.
It was just it was exactly what I thought. So again,
(10:30):
you know, they.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Fell hilarry j.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
They fell off like I thought they would, and they
didn't do anything to kind of ride that gravy train
for a while, which we helped out a lot of
pretty cool, uh pretty cool charities and foundations. The whole
thing with the Stroud stuff ended when David Mulugeta, his agent,
who was behind the scenes, who put forth all of
that to take place, like once, he basically was like, okay,
(10:59):
let's just put about the social media hit once you
guys are you know, once you say your piece, and
that's kind of it. So that that's how that kind
of ended, because it was largely just orchestrated by his
agent to even prop it up in the first place.
There's no proof of that, Like you can't look at
I don't know social media of any photos that he
posted out there with with anyone else who was you know,
a Caple.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Was in that Wait a second, are you trying to
sit here and make an erroneous statement on the air?
Brady Coin that David Mulagetto was taking a picture with
Ryan Clark, who was heavily involved in the narrative. C J.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Stroud, Is that what you're trying to say here on
the air is what you.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Get, especially as someone who said he should go number
two overall to the Houston Texans. It was odd that
I was the person that that that narrative was picked
to point out a little bit of weird, a little
bit weird.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
What do you think that was about? What do you
think was there some other agenda going on? There was there?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Well, I will tell you as far as what I've
heard on from multiple different things that have gone on, Uh,
there's there's some there's some conversations about the draft boards
looked like and all that. We won't get into that world.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh that's interesting, by the way.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Uh, I'm cure, like, who's Jalen Ramsey's agent?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Who is David Okay?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Are those the two people that came out that that
came out and hollered at.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
You, Condrey Quandary Diggs. Didn't he come out as well too.
He's not what Hold on a second, this is just
so coincidental. See, like this confirmed some real irony here.
This is why Levarn and I were saying during the
break hashtag team with Lagatto, we were all about, you know,
David Mullagatta during the break.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I'm not a fan and this hasn't This doesn't even
have anything to do with you. I just don't like him.
I don't and you know, I don't play no cut cards.
You know, VAR don't do the cut cards. I just
don't like to do cut cards. I don't like the
way he moves.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
No.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
And I'm sure that's like totally if when this gets out,
there's going to be a whole because I know a
whole you know, you know he represents Micah and all
that different.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
You want to be clear, that was LeVar that said that.
LeVar said, we didn't say it. So Brady and I
say that, people are going to take it the wrong way.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, I'm a for all the smoke And as much
as I love rc RC, don't need to ever poke
that beer either, Like none of them. I feel the
way that I feel about certain things, and I'm the
OG so call it what you want, but you got
to be ready to deal with Like, you gotta be
ready to deal with that.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, I don't play that game. I don't either at all.
Get a problem with me and get me an at
lead to lap on Twitter around, kiss my ass.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
What I say it is two pros and a cup
of Joe.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Here though, on fox Portradio, samar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonasnax.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
You can listen to this show. As always irritates you, man.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, hear certain words and certain names, and it just
irritates the smile.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
He's one of them all smiles.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Dude just irritates me, man, just irritates something about the look,
just something about the social media, something about like it's
just something about when a dude that you know isn't
cool outside of the athletes that make it about themselves
with those athletes.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Like if you look at.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
His page, man, like you just see him with so
many like it's just Snroy.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
It's just so many selfies of him trying to look
hard with all these other like.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Dudes like like look look like look that way by yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
No I can't though, you know That's what.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
That's the point. That's the point.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Like as many people as I know, you're not going
to see my social media flooded with all these dudes
standing around me, And I got my arms crossed, like
I'm that dude.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Like, bro, you're an agent, you work for them.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
You know what I hate about this whole narrative of
agents and athletes is that, for some strange, weird ass reason,
athletes don't realize that agents are merely their employee, right,
Like that's like, like, why are you becoming my best friend?
Why are we are Why are you acting like you're
my brother or my uncle or my father figure? Like, bitch,
(15:14):
you work for me. Take this money and do what
I tell you to do, Like I'm getting drafted, so
you're not as an agent. The terminology of agent is
to find something. If I'm getting drafted, what are you finding?
You're not finding anything, So so be happy that you
(15:36):
have this job and work for me like you work
for me. I pay you, you don't pay me to
day to day. I just don't like it, man, I
don't like the agency gain. There's like two or three
agents that I bang with that I say, are good dudes.
You could trust it. Some agencies that I like that
do credible work. But for the most part, I think
(15:56):
they're pimps. Honestly, I do.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I do hate the fact that we're like an agent
takes credit for a player's success. It's weird, man, That's
what I don't get us. Dude. The player is the
one putting in the sacrifice. He's the one that get
to this point. The agent is just they're representing you.
They should stay behind the scenes. They don't need to
be out in the forefront. It's the player that deserves
the credit for everything they've done. You know. That's that's
(16:24):
the thing that I think stands out to me the most.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Man, you know, I just don't like it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Then they just they work so hard. They have this
mastery of separating these kids from their fend, these young
men from their families, man like people that are part
of their lives. Like they have this systematic approach of
how they get to them and.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Then they just separate them.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I've watched it, like you know, and again, I've mentored
a lot of dudes, and there are some dudes direct
that I'm talking about connected with Mula Getta Direct that
they just they just separate these dudes from their families. Man,
it's swack swhack ass man for real, Biden conquer, It's
whacked to me.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Hey, here we go, that's what I said. Hashtag team Willigetta.
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio. They're coming up next speaking to teams.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I'm getting text messages right now about you. I mean, like,
because people know these agents be on some whack s
bro Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Here we go. Yeah, I hear you. All right, We're done, realized,
We're done here, all right. So coming up next, we
are going down the streets.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
We are going to have a conversation about somebody in
the NFL who's giving a different story than one we've
been hearing about for several weeks. We'll have that for
you right here on FSR.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Oh man, Lee just harmlessly walked in the studio and
got strays.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
He I didn't get it all out. Hey, LaVar was
still fired up from the last segment.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Lee caught some of the tail end of that.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Some of the poison will still go. It's still a
little bit a little talk. It is two pros and
a cup of Joe.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas knocked with
you here coming up. Sorry, twenty minutes from now we're
gonna have another edition of You In or You Out.
That's yours again a little over twenty minutes from now
here on FSR. So, there's been some rumblings that DeAndre
Hopkins is on the trade block over the past several weeks.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It felt like it was gonna happen.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
There was even a report that came out that the
Tennessee Titans and the Arizona Cardinals were talking about a
swap for DeAndre Hopkins. Obviously, Tennessee and in the market
for a wide receiver based on the A. J. Brown
trade from last year, and apparently DeAndre Hopkins is not
seeing eye to eye with the Arizona Cardinals as far
as the rumors about him being on the trade block.
(19:13):
Here he was refuting those reports.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It's us see everybody telling me to study.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Who said I want to go?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Who said I wanted to leave. It worked it.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yeah, So there's DeAndre Hopkins now is that on his
snap face? Is that the what was his insta chat
account or something like that. Whatever, But DeAndre Hopkins apparently
does not want to leave the Arizona Cardinals, even though
he's been the subject of trade rumors for like we said,
going on six to eight weeks.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Now feels like.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
How did those rumors come about?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
It felt like he was the guy who was kind
of like, what are we doing here? You know, he
didn't seem like he was all that thrilled. Last year
when he did come back off his A suspension, him
and Kyler Murray were going at it a few times.
It just it feels like everything surrounding that organization is
not on well over the past year plus. Why would
(20:03):
you hold on to him if you can get an offer,
Why wouldn't you just move into that direction and and
and just start this whole thing fresh and started over
with well.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Because he's one of the best receivers in the game.
I mean, I think that's why if you move on
from him, I think you're sending a pretty clear message
that you're not very hopeful for what the season is
going to become and probably looking at it even further
saying yourself, it's we're building, and I think it's that's
tough for a lot of veteran players in that locker
(20:33):
room and foundational pieces on that team to see that,
you know, when when and granted you have, you know,
a new head coach, you've got a new general manager.
It's it's evident in some ways to see that and
feel that, but it's just it's tough when you see
your team trading away one of your your top receivers,
especially as a quarterback. I mean I remember going into
(20:54):
you know, year three in Cleveland and sitting with Derek
Anderson and we saw you know, Breda Edwards get traded
eventually early that season, kel Winslow before the season, and
you know, your mindset's like, okay, let's go next guy up.
But really, in the back of your head, you're thinking,
those guys are big time difference makers. Like, my job
just got a lot harder because the NFL is a
(21:14):
game that as much as scheme matters and it's a
huge part of matchups and how you win and lose.
Most o c's will tell you, like think playmakers, not plays.
There are guys who are so good in this league
that they can break the rules of whatever the scheme
is supposed to be. You can throw up a ball
where they can go get it and they can make
a play. DeAndre Hopkins is one of those guys, and
(21:35):
so when you don't have that, it completely changes you know, offensively,
how you're going to operate and as a quarterback, what
you're thinking, especially when things break down and you're looking
for that playmaker. So I think that's the tough part,
is you know, wanting to move on from a guy
like that to rebuild. It might make some sense for Arizona.
And look, if you are any team who's looking for
a veteran receiver to come in and give you a lift.
(21:57):
I mean, I know there's rumors that the Jets would
want to bring him in, which is just ridiculous to
think if they were going to add him to that
group too, I mean, you have to think they're the
favorite thing in the AFC East. I know people have
kicked around the idea of him going to Baltimore, which
would be crazy to think. You know, you pair him
up with Lamar and Odell and Jay Flowers, they just
drafted and Nelson Aguilar. I mean that's now one of
(22:19):
the most groups. So I mean he could make a
sense on a lot of places because he's still playing
at a high level. And I think the other thing
is is, you know, you might have to restructure his contract,
but he is under contract for two more years, so
it's not like you're you're taking on a one year
rental player. You know, you've got him under contract. If
you were able to give something up for him, and
you know, maybe you you you know, rework the contract
(22:40):
a bit to make sure it fits under the cap.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Mm. Just don't touch my guy, Jesse Lucetta, that's my guy.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Speaking of linebackers, they denied the fifth year, fifth year
option of Isaiah Simmons. I mean, maybe they are planning
on a.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Rebuild and Buddha Baker wanted out earlier.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
This was a request for a trade.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I mean, you know it just sometimes you know, the
players will tell you what's really going on on the inside.
I mean, DeAndre is saying he's preparing and he he
said he's trying to leave. But you know, it doesn't
seem like everybody's comfortable. That doesn't seem like they're on
the same page there in Arizona either, So I don't
you know. I don't know, man, one of your best
(23:22):
players wants to leave, requesting the trade, and you're not
even renewing the fifth year option of I mean, when
we say he's one of the bright spots, one of
the few bright spots on this team Isaiah Simmons, I mean,
I know they they kind of fell off at the
end of the year, but I mean, you're talking about
a guy that, in the right scenario could be a perennial,
(23:43):
you know, Pro Bowl caliber player. If if your season
win total goes down a full game since the draft,
does that mean that maybe it wasn't the greatest draft
in the world, probably because they're down to four and
a half.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
That's their season win total. I believe it was at
five and half last week discussed this.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I mean, I'll be honest with you, I kind of
I didn't mind their draft. I kind of liked their draft.
Just I know that I know that stands against like
what other people want to say about it.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
But why did why did the total go down then,
or why didn't it move in a different direction than negative.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I also think you have to look at the rest
of the division, and maybe there's some people who felt
like it went down because of everything else out around them,
you know what other teams did. Yeah, But like I
like the Paris Johnson pick, thought he was the best
tackle in this draft class. B j O Julari, the
edge rusher out of the LSU. He's got a ton
of upside as an edge rusher. Obviously he's got blood
(24:38):
lines to the NFL, but he's very capable of developing
into that. The Michael Wilson wide receiver they took out
of Stanford I think could provide some depth. You know,
you go on down the line, like they've got a
number of guys. You know that Dante Stills their sixth
round pick, and as a d tackle, these guys just
showed some flashes at times. Clark at a Louisville undersized guy,
(24:59):
but to me, like twitchy, fast, you know, nickelback type
player that could eventually play special teams and work his
way onto the starting roster. The Garrett Williams pick at
cornerback at longer cornerback again, kind of the type of
guy you think maybe could work his way into a starter.
But I don't know. I like their draft. I didn't
think it was bad. I mean, it's just more of
a byproduct of them thinking like, hey, they should have
(25:22):
taken Will Anderson at three, and maybe that win lost
total stays the same. Maybe it's reactionary to that where
you know, even if Will Anderson's there, I'm not sure
it would have changed that dramatically. As opposed to getting
a tackle to help out Kyler Murray. I mean, they
haven't invested into the offensive line in a serious way
in the draft in a long time. And obviously when
(25:42):
Kyler Murray's hurt, they're in a ward of hurt. As
far as what their team's gonna.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Be capable of doing, the team I can't figure out
is the Rams bro I feel like Seattle, we know
is going to be competitive because they had seemingly another
good draft after what they did last year, and Gino
Smith is back.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's gonna be fun to watch. The Niners. It's all
about quarterback.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Hell, so how are they party while they don't have
you know, Purty? Can can you know Lance be the guy?
That's a That's a major question mark for this team.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
The Rams I have no idea how it's going to go.
I don't see them being good.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Kaseean McVay says he's fired up to come back. It's
that you're not going to hear about him wanting to
retire or walk away again this Offseason'll.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
See them being good. No, So, if you really think
about it, there's no reason for the Arizona Cardinals to
just pack it in and accept that they're going to
be a four to win five win team because their
division is not that it's not bad. They could be
a not so elite team and still be able to
(26:42):
come out on top in the NFC West. I'm sorry,
I'm not a believer in Trey Lance. I'm just not.
And I think that this team is going to possibly
even be in for a rude awakening when they get
party back because the idea of him having the success
(27:02):
he had early on to me, now these you know,
he's on film, he's studiable, he's you can prep for him.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
You don't think there's a big difference between Arizona and
everybody else in the division, because I think they're clearly
dead last. The Rams still have Cooper Cup, They've got Stafford,
They've got did you say how bad they played this year?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah? I know they were bad.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
It was like I keep going back to like they
still I mean, Aaron Donald's still there. Maybe he was
contemplating retirement he signed the extension comes back. I wonder
what he's thinking, because I know we made a big
deal about McVeigh coming back and bending energized. But you know,
if I.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Got my moneyship, I got my money, and I'm gonna
play my ass off, That's probably what Aaron AD's thinking.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Well, I was gonna say, because he's such a.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Stud, Yeah, I'm gonna play my ass off. He's gonna
play his ass off. Now he's not going half step.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Well, no, I'm not. I'm not doubting that. I think
my questions more of would he be if he's looking
at what's happening around him as they go spend a
bowload of picks now because they have to right there
in cap hell they put themselves in. That would he
be contemplating saying, all right, maybe I want to go
to a different team.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
I mean, he's got to know that the water is
the weal is run dryt you got. If I'm looking
at at at the rams right now, I'm like we
we're not going to win, right we're not.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
We're just not. We're not going to win well.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And that's why I think it speaks to him one
just as the type of like leader person he is.
Because you haven't heard anything, and if there is, maybe
just keep it under reps.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
They had fourteen draft picks, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Mean, and by the way, they didn't have a first
round pick. No, they've gotten accustomed to with that now.
And by the way, look, let's need and Sean mcvahn.
Their group did a good job. You know, you can
go up and down this draft class and you can
find players who I think will fit within what they're
looking at doing, have upside all that stuff. But this
is how they have to replenish their roster with with young,
(28:56):
cheaper labor, is essentially what it is. But just going
back to the Aaron Donald thing, I mean, Jaylen Ramsey
found a new home. He's in Philly now, so now
he's with a contender and he's that kind of you
know Miami or Miami Yeah, sorry, but he's with a
team that's like a contender as far as a playoffs,
et cetera. And I wonder if Aaron Donald doesn't look
(29:17):
at it and say, man, like, how many more years
do I've left? Yeah, I've got a ring, but I'd
like to go somewhere else that that potentially could get
a ring too. You know, what do you look at
you know, maybe saying, look, go get what you can
for me, let me go of a chance to win
somewhere else. Or is he or is he fine with
where he's at? But you know, when you when you
look at the talent of their roster and where they're at,
(29:38):
you know, eventually those pieces they move on or they
want a chance to go win elsewhere. So I just
I think it's I wonder what's going on in his
head right now.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I think LeVar would want him back in the four
one two. That would be amazing. Back to Pittsburgh. Oh,
that'd be amazing. Yeah, fun would be a beautiful, beautiful scene. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
One thing. So what I meant to like mention earlier
The Packers have to pick up the fifth year option
and Jordan Love this offseason, we'd messed that up. He's
only played the past couple of years. He didn't play
all his rookie season.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh that's right. In twenty twenty, Yeah, he was drafted.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yeah right, that's why I mean it becomes in that
conversation much more, you know, difficult, and I don't want
to obviously go back and rehash that. We don't have time,
but we should make the note that he they do
have to pick up his fifth year option this offseason,
or at least make up the decision on that.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, and Lee take this, put it back in that segment.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Nobody knows anything. So it's done. It's a professional broadcast.
Speaker 1 (30:37):

Speaker 7 (34:35):
I was at the basketball court yesterday at the park
across the street and they're replacing.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
The oh that was black basketball players.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Yeah, and they replaced horseshoes with their building a pickleball
court that it was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It's the new hot thing.
Speaker 8 (34:50):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
Wait, wait wait, so they had horseshoes, like that was
the hotter thing before pickleball came along.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Well, yeah, I guess so, because pickleball wasn't around.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Bunch of people. Well it wasn't around it was just
it wasn't where that was at. So are you a
big horseshoe player? Is that like a big thing? No.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I was excited about it.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
My buddy was not too excited about it, losing the horseshoes.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
No, that's what I'm asking though, Like who was playing horseshoes?
I don't know nobody.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Nobody was playing horseshoes.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Want to go in and throw around some horseshoes exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I can't recall that I've done. I've done corn hole,
but not.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I mean that's that's more of like the similar type sport. Yeah, like,
someone please tweet at us, let us know if you're
an avid horseshoe player. And I don't know anyone who
still does it.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
I won a family reunion horseshoe tournament in two thousand,
have a trophy and everything. I was getting drafted. Yeah,
that's a very long time. By the way down I
was in the semi finals. I was with teaming up
with my cousin. I played my mom and I forget
who our partner was, and I cheated against my own
mom because she was she was running her mouth and
(35:53):
she had a ringer that would have won the game,
and before they came over, I kind of kicked it
away a little bit and nearly counted as a point.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
I think last time, and maybe the only time I
ever played horseshoes was I went and golfed at a
golf tournament that was supporting a VFW, and we went
to the VFW afterwards and they had horseshoes there and
I was bombed. But I remember like vaguely playing horseshoes
at that event. And this is this is a long
(36:21):
time ago.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
By the way, I will say, and not to interrupt you,
but I will say, when you hit with a horseshoe there,
that is a very amazing It's a tremendous feeling.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah around, Yeah, you wrapped that bad boy. That is
a great feeling. By the ways, that playing.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
In Wyoming, when you go up to Cheyenne, we were
not playing horseshoes there. No, no, you guys got to
come telling you I'm a playing this one.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
By the way, I don't think there's a VFW anywhere
in the country that doesn't have a Horseshoe hit.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
It feels like that's our VFW. And to go to.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
What else we got, Lee Fellas. We ran out of
time yesterday for the met Gala. Whether or not you
were in or out on the met Gala, I don't
know if you cut any of that last night.

out on. Tony Award nominations are being announced right now.
