the woods.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I don't know if it's bro I'm just it's so upsetting.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It is so like and Trice continues to say, you know,
the earth has to balance itself out, and we should
be grateful and happy that we're getting all of this rain.
I've never seen this much rain since living here, and
it's almost been a decade.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
You know, she's right.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I guess we have to appreciate it because once it's gone,
you know what, we'll be saying, Dang, I wish we

Speaker 5 (02:53):
I don't think so a little cool.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I don't think I'm I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Trying to I'm wit you.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Look is there.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know, people in the South are dealing with tornadoes
and they've got all that that fiasco that that's got
going on, and so it could be much worse. But man,
there there was a slug in my backyard the size
of a hot healthy and super healthy, like literally the
size of a hot dog body.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
They just they going drough to hell up soon, just
hanging out. Oh yeah, I've had a lot of slugs.
Snails you call them slug. Do you have snails or
you call them them both slugs?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
There's some that are that have.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The Yeah, I had like a million snails. Yeah, some
whole bunch of snails, which I think is a slug
that just has a shell.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Right, Yeah, it's it's a slug. It's a slug with
a backpack on cargo. Yeah, it's a slug with a
backpack on. And they just hang out.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
And so you're.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Saying that that that slugs are dropouts and snails are smart.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
They just yeah, they don't stay at school. Yeah they did.
They want to pretend and they want everybody to think
that it's all by memory. They don't need their books,
they don't need their trapper keepers, they don't need anything.
Like we don't need a shell. We can just go
into class and we can memorize everything. And they're just
hanging out me. And then I didn't realize because these
wild mushrooms were popping up in and around my backyard,
(04:10):
and I hate mushrooms. Mushrooms are the most disgusting food
on the planet. Like, every time I walk by the
mushrooms and the produce aisle, I want to just hire
somebody from outside to throw up on them.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
So they have to get rid of.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
All of them.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's disgusting. They're revolting. Anybody that eats mushrooms, you should
rethink what.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
It is you're doing in your life.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So, wild hats up mushrooms yesterday.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Wild mushrooms are popping up all over the place. Yeah,
and they're bad. Okay, they're bad for dogs, right, They'll
do major damage to dogs from my understanding, Like if
your dog eats a wild mushroom, like they'll turn into
a like like a rabbit with four eyes. Like they
just it ruins them, destroys them. And I didn't realize.
(04:56):
I didn't realize that part of the was that Patino
was Rick Patino chiming in on the on the program here,
John Caliperry, Sorry about that. Uh so you I didn't
realize that part of what grows wild mushrooms is species
from the sluts well bats, same thing.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
No, that's and maybe that's what that's the what coffee,
coffee something from bats, something from bats, And there's something else.
There's something else too, isn't it. Uh, truffles aren't truffles
from bats or something like that?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think those are those are mushrooms, aren't They aren't truffles? Mushrooms? Lee,
You're a mushroom, guy, Lee, you're on shrooms right now?
What is the I believe troubles are a fungus. They're
not mushrooms.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
They are edible spores apparently got And yeah, the new
trend is like mushroom coffee.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, mushroom coffee, that is the new trend.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And uh expresso expresso uh Martinis.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah that's different than mushroom coffee, like like a mushrooms
of fungus. And so what you're like every time you
have a mushroom, Like when you order a pizza and
you say, yeah, can I get a large cheese with
pepperoni and mushrooms? Why do you just say can I
get a large cheese with pepperoni and athletes foot?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Because that's what It's crazy? That is my favorite. That
is my absolute favorite go to for pizza. God, mushrooms
and pepperoni.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Man Jonas. There are other kinds of mushroom out there
besides the ones that go in your pizza. There's really good,
Like you know, Portini mushrooms.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
The mushrooms that go on your pizza are bad.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, what are you so? Those are just like those
are okay? Why you mushrooms?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You're normal yeah. Prejudice, Yeah, racist, come on, judice. You're
you're saying that.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Those great ones aren't that gooding mushrooms going to pasta
god so gross.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Good for you, man, they're good for you.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
You're mister health, but you're no, and they are good
for you. Actually they look gross. That's your problem. Yeah,
but whatever point.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Of ruffles are actually underground mushrooms and the fun guy
in the Fun Guy Kingdom.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Okay, so they're coffin mushrooms, so standard ground as coffin mushroom. Yeah,
standard ground.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Okay, you don't know about truffle butter.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's nasty, man.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Anything that's got something to do with mushrooms, I think
is just disgusting.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I don't get it. No, Sam, what do you?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
What is going on? All right?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Anyway? So yeah, that's what we're dealing with that here.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
We've got more more rain, Yeah, more rain, more rain,
and bowling pin slugs crawling around the backyards and destroying
our art surroundings. But the point is we've got ourselves
another issue in the world of sports of oar, and
that issue is at the running back position. We've talked
to nauseum about the devaluing of the position. But I
(08:17):
was looking up just to kind of get a better
perspective on where we're at with something that was a
foundational piece in the NFL for years and years and years.
So Christian McCaffrey, now Christian McCaffrey finds it, finds himself
on the other side of the fence. He actually got paid,
Like he actually got paid, and he got paid while
he was in Carolina and now he's a member of
(08:38):
the San Francisco forty nine ers. He was actually speaking
with Rich Eyesen. This was a few weeks back, and
he talked about just sort of how the position is valued.
This is before all of these other instances like Josh
Jacobs and Saquon Barkley and Dalvin Cook and Eckler and
all these guys and all this stories have been popping
up this week. Christian McCaffrey talked about this a little
(09:00):
while back, and he had some interesting things to say,
not only about the value of the position around the league,
but in comparison to other positions and the utilization of
the franchise tag.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
When I look at what you know, receivers make and
fall receivers make around the league and then you look
at what running backs make. You know, we're at the
bottom of the list, and you know, you got backs
who had two thousand yard seasons. You've had backs who've
had seven hundred and fifty to eight hundred yards receiving,
and you know a lot of people use the injury
(09:34):
the injury argument, but and you know, don't I don't
know if that's necessarily valid when you look at some
of the receivers who have been hurt who still get
big contracts. And so I understand we touch the ball
the most, but in my opinion, I think we create
a lot of value in doing so as well. So
there's a lot of arguments multiple ways, but I definitely
think somewhere along the line the franchise tag and what
(09:58):
the market did to the running back to I think
they're definitely undervalued. And I think if you ask the
running backs around the league, they would probably say the
same thing.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So they need to get a running back to the union,
you know, and unionized.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Is that possible? Can they do that?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I doubt it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
If you boycott it, like, oh, running Backs United, we're
boycotting the league, they'd be like, well, that's another receiver.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's just a separate, separate office, said the NFLPA like
running backs over there, and they all just have their
own college running.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Running back number six.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You know what when he brings up the franchise tag,
because the franchise tag has been I know in certain
cases like Kirk Cousins used the franchise tag beautifully and
he's gotten paid and paid and paid, and Drew Brees
used the franchise tag and he got big contracts and
all that. But like this, this is the part that's
kind of when you take a step back and look
(10:55):
at it, it's it's it's pretty wild to think about.
So of all the position groups and the franchise tag
number attached to those position groups, the only position group
that has a lower franchise tag number than running back
is kicker slash punter. Like just think quarterback, wide receiver,
(11:19):
tight end, O line, d tackle, d end, linebacker, cornerback, safety,
all of them have a bigger franchise tag number.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Than the running back.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The only one the running back beats out is the
kicker slash punter. And that's based on the average of
the top five salaries per position up in the upcoming year.
And obviously it scales depending on you know, what the
salary cap is at that point. But like we're talking
about one of the most important positions in the NFL,
(11:52):
and the ava.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Seemingly and even if it were the most important, you're
talking about your stif talking about running backs, right, Yes,
I just again, I just think that seemingly it being
the most important position, which it's not. It's the quarterback,
but knowing how important of running back is to a
quarterback success, you take away ed your and James and
(12:17):
Marshall Folk. You don't have a Peyton Manny. You take
away Corey Dylon and what was Anchwan's Smith? Achwan Smith?
You take away those backs that Kevin Folk. You take
away those those backs from Tom Brady. You don't have
a Tom Brady. You take away Jerome Bettis from from
(12:39):
Ben Roethlisberger. You don't have a Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah, we
can keep going, right, we can keep going. Like the
name like if Joe Montana doesn't have Roger Craig, Ricky
Waters Rathman, if he doesn't have that, you don't have
a a Steve Young or a Joe mont You take
(13:01):
away Emmitt Smith and Moose Johnson. You don't have a
Troy Aikman, And for what it's worth, you probably don't
have a Michael Irving.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So if you go, you take away Thurman Thomas, you
don't have a Jim Kelly.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
You can go.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You can continue like anything you look at. I'd say
the only one that you can't really make that argument
point is with more recent quarterbacks like Pat Mahomes is
going to be Pat Mahomes. Yeah, he's going to be
Patrick Mahomes. I mean that's just the way their offense
is structured. And I think that that becomes the issue.
I think that trend of being able to have interchangeable
(13:39):
running backs and them not having to be really big
name running backs came from Andy Reid. I really do.
I think it came from Andy Reid. I mean, you
think about what he was able to do in Philadelphia.
He took really like obscure talents like Brian Westbrooks and
Douce Staley's and turned them into like, really really helpful
(14:01):
pieces to his offense. They were a passing offense. People
may not know that he's been airing it out for
a long time. Donovan McNabb was airing that ball out
in Philadelphia, and what you do. You had you had
Douce Staley, you had Correll Buckholder, you had Brian Westbrook,
(14:21):
then you had Shady McCoy. You have all these guys
that had the same type of style. Can catch the
ball out of the backfield, can catch screens really well,
can get upfield, can do all of these things.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
They're elusive, they're not very big.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You saw this developing with Andy Reid's offense, and what
is this league? It's a copycat league. Who has the
best offense out there? It's Kansas City and they do
not have their running back by committee. I mean when
they had Leshan McCoy, Lahaan McCoy wasn't even playing.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
They was using other guys when they made the Super
Bowl run.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It's it's easy to say, you can look at the
historical value of what the running backs position presents, but
the bottom line is Jonas like, you can find guys
to be just as serviceable. It's sad to say, but
you can find guys that can be just as serviceable
in these new styles of offense that where you don't
(15:21):
have to value the position the way you once did.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
So who would you say yet, off the top of
your head. You may you may already know this, But
who would you say led the league? Which team led
the league in rushing last year? Off the top of
your head?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, I guess if I had to guess, I would
probably say Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Yeah, if I had to guess.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
It was the Bears, who were the worst team in
the league.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Who was the best?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
The Bears were the worst team in the league. They
led the league in rushing. Oh okay, they led the
team of the league in rushing. Yeah, yeah, I don't know,
but I don't know. I don't know that that that
the correlation is because they could run the ball. But like,
that's a team who part I mean, they ran the
ball because of justin fields. Obviously, that was his effectiveness
(16:09):
rushing the football. He nearly broke the record he would
have if he'd played the final week, final game of
the season, Mike Vick's record, Lamar Jackson's record. Rather, But
that's like an indication that that's a team that has
to rely on the run because their passing game wasn't there.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
They were the worst team in the league.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Hey, you know what else is interesting? I know we're
up against the break, what else is interesting? When you
think about running, it's almost like comparable to the three point,
the three pointer in the NBA and how Steph Curry
changed the whole environment of how you approach playing basketball.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
It's like the mid range of football.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Two points aren't good enough anymore. Yeah, it's almost like
if you can't, if you can't do something that is
extraordinary being inside the three point line, then you're now
as a perimeter player, you're kind of obsolete.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Big men.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You know, you got to be able to rebound, you
got to be able to you know, box out and
stuff like that. But do you have the skills to
come out to the perimeter and be the joker? You
know all these different new you know Kevin Durant, you
know hell Lebron James. These guys are are are six seven,
six eight, six ' nine and above, and they're out
(17:21):
on the perimeter because.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
You can't keep up if you can't.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Shoot three pointers. And we saw that in this year's finals.
We saw it in this year's playoffs, and we've seen
it in the Golden State Warriors becoming what they've been
able to become. And I almost look at it like
you almost can't run the ball. You can't run the
ball to win games anymore. You got to be able
to throw it and air it out and get into
(17:46):
the end zone to be able to keep pace with
these types of teams that can throw the ball, that
are finding ways to get the ball, push the ball
up field.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, we've talked about it before. Like the Niners, that's
the team that still runs a football. They've had a
different leading rusher for like the last five years. Carlos
Hyde was their last running back who led the team
in rushing in multiple years in a row. So it's
is a different game altogether. It's Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. He's LeVar Arrington,
I'm Jonas Knox coming up next here from the Tyraq
(18:14):
dot Com studios. There's a quarterback who should be doing

You have to have a nickname too. You're King of
the Mammals.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I am King of the Mammals.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Need T shirt? I need great Actually I had already
have an idea.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
But hold on, LeVar said he was going to ditch
King of the Mammals that you had outgrown it.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You said that I kind of I kind of had
got to that point.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
You brought me back. Styxx is definitely going to jump
out there, that's coming.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
King of the Mammals is pretty good. North Hills Hammer
is the one.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I mean, North Hills Hammer is strong. King of the
Mammals is pretty fire Stick City is is a superhero
to me.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, you're right, You're right. Well, I'm with you there, Okay,
we can move on that.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
John, I just want to clear that up.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I now know that you don't listen to our show.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
But it's all right, mister pantee man, stretch your arm
strong and King of the Mammals.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Like, I'm not up on games, So now.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I know when you bring on bring up up on game,
you're just making fun of me.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's not true, all right, that's not true. All right,
Like I'm not well versed on up on game. Give
me a break. But like you said, this gives me heartburn.
Like when you get on me like this though, like
I don't know it is.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Like does it really give you heartburn or does it
not give you heart brown? Because when I think about
getting heartburn, I think about what it tastes like when
you're trying to basically address that heartburn issue. Right, So
if you're tired of chewing on those chocky tasting and
(22:16):
assets and stuff like that, well here's what you gotta do.
You gotta get with my people otc because with just
one pill each morning, you can experience a full twenty
four hours of zero heartburn. It's possible while taking prolosachotc.
I know, I know, you got to use as directed though,
(22:36):
and it's for fourteen days to treat frequent heartburn, not
for mediate relief, all right, just make sure you know that.
But prolosachotc it's the joint.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It's two pros and a cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio. So I Justin Herbert is one of him,
Joe Burrow, Like these guys are looking for they're going
to be the next big contract. When it comes to
the quarterbacks, we've been talking about the running backs. The
quarterbacks don't have any to worry about. Even if you're
a weirdo and you've got a massage fetish, you get
a big time contract like it, there's no problems whatsoever
(23:08):
when it comes to the quarterback.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Well, Justin Herbert.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
He did confirm yesterday that he will be at training
camp a mid contract talks. Yeah, no kidding, Well, what
options does he have When you're a quarterback, it does
feel like you've got to play by a different set
of rules, like they could if they wanted to use
their leverage, they could and probably make a difference. But
(23:31):
wouldn't that be kind of a bad look If you're
supposed to be the leader of the team, you're supposed
to be getting the team ready for the regular season,
and you just decide not to show up because you've
got a contract dispute. That feels like it would land
wrong with a lot of people. So it's almost like
quarterbacks are are viewed differently or have to handle this
thing a little bit differently than some other players can,
(23:53):
just because of the position they play.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
That's a lot I don't think it's I don't think
it should be up to a.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Player to decide if what they're they're commanding as a
talent for a team to actually take into consideration the
other players on the team. I don't think that's there there.
That's not your job. I hate to say it. Now
you can do it, and you can talk about it,
(24:24):
and you can be a part of it that way,
and you can garner you know, whatever it is, the
emotions from your teammates and from the fan base or
whatever it may be. But take this into consideration. I
don't think the I don't think the franchises are ever
not going to take into consideration what's best for their franchise.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Is that safe to say.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, are we are?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
We certainly?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Are we sure that we can say that there will
not be one franchise decision maker that will not make
a decision for that franchise that is not in the
total one hundred percent best interest of that franchise.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Is that safe to.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Say, Yeah, you're looking out for yourself?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So why is it that players have to take on
a different a different mindset. If you're taking into consideration
what's best for your franchise, then as a as a player,
I'm taking into consideration what's best for my personal franchise
(25:37):
your brand. Always tell guys, people ask me my young
bucks that I mentor all the time, ask me, you
know what should I do for investments? And you know
what should where should I put my money? I said,
we in the bank. In the bank, you know, what
your investment is. You want to know what the highest
stock you can buy. You look at the return on
(26:00):
on on like the return on your your stock. These
these are millions of dollars. Show me somewhere where you
can generate the type of return that that these players
are generating. Put your money in the bank. You are
your own biggest investment, so you can always wait to
(26:22):
go figure out what you want to do next. Don't
be in such a rush to spend your money on
all this. All that well, they told me to go
into the market this way, They told me to go
into the stock market. Here, they said real estate. They
said no, like no, slow down. You do what's best
for your franchise. And right now, your franchise is generating
millions of dollars yearly off of what you do. So
(26:47):
you don't have to put your money anywhere except in
the bank. So when it comes down to you getting
a contract, we've been talking about contracts for running backs
the entire show. And how that that you know they're underappreciated.
They're not getting paid what they're worth or this, that
and the other. The market establishes what you're worth, your value.
You're only going to be as valued as what they're
(27:09):
willing to pay you, like, that's really the true value.
So when it comes down to the fact that you
don't feel like you're getting your value, well, when you're
in a situation where you actually can command the value,
you're now supposed to sit there and be like, h
let me not think about myself and being able to
command this value. Let me think about everybody else that's
on the football team. You got me fed up in
(27:31):
the game if you think that that's how I'm supposed
to be thinking and for what it's worth and for
what it's worth. Not only do you got me messed
up for thinking that should be thinking that way, but
you should be ashamed of yourself if you judge me
for thinking self first, you should be ashamed of yourself
if you think that I'm supposed to conduct my business
(27:51):
differently than what that franchise is doing. And there's some
game for you to speaking the up on game. There's
some game for you. Don't expect players to have to
adjust and adapt what it is that they're seeking and
what they're doing based off of their other teammates. When
the employer is always going to do what's best for
their bottom line, not that player's bottom line or those
(28:14):
other players that you're going to sit there and that
judge your bottom line for as a personal player that
can command the type of dollar that they're going to command,
don't do it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And that's why you need to tune in every Saturday
morning Star King of the Mammals, stretch your armstrong, and
mister man, it's two pros and a cup of Joe.
Here on Fox Sports Radio. LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with
you here. So we are going to have another edition
of you and of you out coming up here shortly,
but for all the latest from around the world of sports.

their mouths because it's Eddie Garcia.

Hey, Eddie, Yes, Lamar, when your contract you do contracts here?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Right? Nope, you don't know. Okay, let's say you did.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Okay, if you did contracts, would you base what you're
asking for off of the consideration of other employees at
the at the company?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
If I had that information, I might would you really?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, you're a good dude, man, Yeah, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (29:17):

then like you know, Eddie will be good because Eddie
wanted me to get paid.
Speaker 10 (29:32):

a major league best forty nine and twenty two attendance
(31:12):
at Oakland one night after that reverse boycott, where they
had over twenty seven thousand, seven thousand, fifty five. Last night,
Braves sweep a doubleheader from the Tigers by scores of
ten to seven and six to five. After that double hitter,
sweep Atlanta's back on top of the standings in the
National League. The one game up on Arizona after the
time of Backs lost to the Phillies in ten innings.
Pirates lose to the Cubs ten to six by the Braves,
(31:34):
excuse me. The Brewers lose to the Twins four to
two at six straight loss for Milwaukee and they remain
a game back at Pittsburgh in the race for first
in the NL Central Mets get by the Yankees for ten.
Rangers over the Angels six to three despite Shoeotani's twenty
first home run of the year. The Astros walk off
with a five to four to one up with the Nationals.
Houston wins it in the ninth inning on a throwing era.
(31:55):
Dodgers fall to the White Sox eight to four, Orioles
lose to the Blue Jays three to two, and the
Reds beat the Royal seven four. Kansas City has lost

I went to the U're just out, like all the
way out, no tip, no nothing, just all.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
The way out out.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I went to the US Open at Oakmont. Fox was
on the I was doing the coverage there and so
we went out in twenty sixteen, and it was actually
right after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup. So went
to the Stanley Cup. Parade for the Penguins, and then
you know, Oakmont's like twenty minutes away from downtown Pittsburgh.
Beautiful course, there were thunderstorms that were scaring the bleep
(35:58):
out of everybody in the media tent there, and so
ever since then, I feel like I'm obligated to watch
the US Open time.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Man.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Well, currently, guys.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
We got the Denver Nuggets Championship parade today ten am
local time. That's mountain time, you guys, ent are out
on mountain time. And the Denver Nuggets Championship parade, now,
don't care.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I mean, I'm in if I was there.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I mean, but where I'm currently sitting, I mean, there's
no way I can be in. I'm out. And you know,
but you know, the weather here isn't great. It's probably
better weather in Denver, and then it's probably a whole
lot of clouds. You know, it would probably be very
very cloudy at that parade. I would most certainly be
(36:41):
in one hundred percent if I was in position to attend.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I mean, does it as a spectator too.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I don't want backseat or I mean backstage type passes
or anything. I want to be with the people in
this one because for some strange reason, I think it's
going to be lit like more than one way lit.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
You just you just get the I mean, people get hammered,
and that's it. Like the last time something unique happened
was Matt Stafford and that woman that fell off the
stage taking a picture, Like and that was when you know,
you had you had like fourteen Rams fans that showed up,
and then you had politicians, local politicians wearing Saint Louis
(37:18):
Rams jerseys instead of the actual La Rams jerseys. Like
that was the last noteworthy parade Other than that, It's
like what Tom Brady and uh and playing CAMRA's Yeah,
Cameron Braid playing catch with the trophy.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
On the water you know liked it?
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Right?
Speaker 5 (37:33):
Yeah, yeah they are They almost did.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
I think I think they did.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Like the daughter of the sculptor or whatever, the creator
of it was like really really upset about it. Yeah
maybe not, maybe they didn't drop it, but she was
definitely not happy about them throwing it.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
What else were we gonna mean, guys, A happy fifty
fourth birthday to mister Cube. That being ice Cube, Happy birthday,
mister Cue. What better way to celebrate than with some
tapas it's world Tapa's day.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
What is that?
Speaker 6 (38:04):
You don't know what tapas are In Spanish culture and
from Spain, Tapas are like bread and meat. Basically they're
served when if you get wine or beer on the rombints.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Oh yeah those are great.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Yeah, sometimes they're free. They just bring out a little
it's like little word nerves.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
I'll say, though, a meat and cheese plate, a meat
and cheese plate.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
I do, okay, like a nice meat and cheese play
with your wine? Did you feel fancy?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
I just get weirded out when I hear meat said
too many times.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
I don't know that's wrong with you.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
It just weirds me out. But I do like wine, Yeah,
I do.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
It goes well together.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
You know. There's like a winery right next to the

Speaker 3 (02:28):
It is so like and Trice continues to say, you know,
the earth has to balance itself out, and we should
be grateful and happy that we're getting all of this rain.
I've never seen this much rain since living here, and
it's almost been a decade.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
You know, she's right.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I guess we have to appreciate it because once it's gone,
you know what, we'll be saying, Dang, I wish we

Speaker 5 (02:53):
I don't think so a little cool.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
I don't think I'm I'm.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Trying to I'm wit you.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
Look is there.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know, people in the South are dealing with tornadoes
and they've got all that that fiasco that that's got
going on, and so it could be much worse. But man,
there there was a slug in my backyard the size
of a hot healthy and super healthy, like literally the
size of a hot dog body.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
They just they going drough to hell up soon, just
hanging out. Oh yeah, I've had a lot of slugs.
Snails you call them slug. Do you have snails or
you call them them both slugs?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
There's some that are that have.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The Yeah, I had like a million snails. Yeah, some
whole bunch of snails, which I think is a slug
that just has a shell.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Right, Yeah, it's it's a slug. It's a slug with
a backpack on cargo. Yeah, it's a slug with a
backpack on. And they just hang out.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
And so you're.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Saying that that that slugs are dropouts and snails are smart.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
They just yeah, they don't stay at school. Yeah they did.
They want to pretend and they want everybody to think
that it's all by memory. They don't need their books,
they don't need their trapper keepers, they don't need anything.
Like we don't need a shell. We can just go
into class and we can memorize everything. And they're just
hanging out me. And then I didn't realize because these
wild mushrooms were popping up in and around my backyard,
(04:10):
and I hate mushrooms. Mushrooms are the most disgusting food
on the planet. Like, every time I walk by the
mushrooms and the produce aisle, I want to just hire
somebody from outside to throw up on them.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
So they have to get rid of.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
All of them.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's disgusting. They're revolting. Anybody that eats mushrooms, you should
rethink what.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
It is you're doing in your life.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So, wild hats up mushrooms yesterday.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Wild mushrooms are popping up all over the place. Yeah,
and they're bad. Okay, they're bad for dogs, right, They'll
do major damage to dogs from my understanding, Like if
your dog eats a wild mushroom, like they'll turn into
a like like a rabbit with four eyes. Like they
just it ruins them, destroys them. And I didn't realize.
(04:56):
I didn't realize that part of the was that Patino
was Rick Patino chiming in on the on the program here,
John Caliperry, Sorry about that. Uh so you I didn't
realize that part of what grows wild mushrooms is species
from the sluts well bats, same thing.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
No, that's and maybe that's what that's the what coffee,
coffee something from bats, something from bats, And there's something else.
There's something else too, isn't it. Uh, truffles aren't truffles
from bats or something like that?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think those are those are mushrooms, aren't They aren't truffles? Mushrooms? Lee,
You're a mushroom, guy, Lee, you're on shrooms right now?
What is the I believe troubles are a fungus. They're
not mushrooms.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
They are edible spores apparently got And yeah, the new
trend is like mushroom coffee.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, mushroom coffee, that is the new trend.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
And uh expresso expresso uh Martinis.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah that's different than mushroom coffee, like like a mushrooms
of fungus. And so what you're like every time you
have a mushroom, Like when you order a pizza and
you say, yeah, can I get a large cheese with
pepperoni and mushrooms? Why do you just say can I
get a large cheese with pepperoni and athletes foot?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Because that's what It's crazy? That is my favorite. That
is my absolute favorite go to for pizza. God, mushrooms
and pepperoni.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Man Jonas. There are other kinds of mushroom out there
besides the ones that go in your pizza. There's really good,
Like you know, Portini mushrooms.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
The mushrooms that go on your pizza are bad.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yeah, what are you so? Those are just like those
are okay? Why you mushrooms?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You're normal yeah. Prejudice, Yeah, racist, come on, judice. You're
you're saying that.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Those great ones aren't that gooding mushrooms going to pasta
god so gross.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Good for you, man, they're good for you.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
You're mister health, but you're no, and they are good
for you. Actually they look gross. That's your problem. Yeah,
but whatever point.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Of ruffles are actually underground mushrooms and the fun guy
in the Fun Guy Kingdom.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Okay, so they're coffin mushrooms, so standard ground as coffin mushroom. Yeah,
standard ground.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Okay, you don't know about truffle butter.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
It's nasty, man.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Anything that's got something to do with mushrooms, I think
is just disgusting.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I don't get it. No, Sam, what do you?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
What is going on? All right?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Anyway? So yeah, that's what we're dealing with that here.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
We've got more more rain, Yeah, more rain, more rain,
and bowling pin slugs crawling around the backyards and destroying
our art surroundings. But the point is we've got ourselves
another issue in the world of sports of oar, and
that issue is at the running back position. We've talked
to nauseum about the devaluing of the position. But I
(08:17):
was looking up just to kind of get a better
perspective on where we're at with something that was a
foundational piece in the NFL for years and years and years.
So Christian McCaffrey, now Christian McCaffrey finds it, finds himself
on the other side of the fence. He actually got paid,
Like he actually got paid, and he got paid while
he was in Carolina and now he's a member of
(08:38):
the San Francisco forty nine ers. He was actually speaking
with Rich Eyesen. This was a few weeks back, and
he talked about just sort of how the position is valued.
This is before all of these other instances like Josh
Jacobs and Saquon Barkley and Dalvin Cook and Eckler and
all these guys and all this stories have been popping
up this week. Christian McCaffrey talked about this a little
(09:00):
while back, and he had some interesting things to say,
not only about the value of the position around the league,
but in comparison to other positions and the utilization of
the franchise tag.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
When I look at what you know, receivers make and
fall receivers make around the league and then you look
at what running backs make. You know, we're at the
bottom of the list, and you know, you got backs
who had two thousand yard seasons. You've had backs who've
had seven hundred and fifty to eight hundred yards receiving,
and you know a lot of people use the injury
(09:34):
the injury argument, but and you know, don't I don't
know if that's necessarily valid when you look at some
of the receivers who have been hurt who still get
big contracts. And so I understand we touch the ball
the most, but in my opinion, I think we create
a lot of value in doing so as well. So
there's a lot of arguments multiple ways, but I definitely
think somewhere along the line the franchise tag and what
(09:58):
the market did to the running back to I think
they're definitely undervalued. And I think if you ask the
running backs around the league, they would probably say the
same thing.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So they need to get a running back to the union,
you know, and unionized.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Is that possible? Can they do that?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I doubt it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
If you boycott it, like, oh, running Backs United, we're
boycotting the league, they'd be like, well, that's another receiver.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's just a separate, separate office, said the NFLPA like
running backs over there, and they all just have their
own college running.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Running back number six.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You know what when he brings up the franchise tag,
because the franchise tag has been I know in certain
cases like Kirk Cousins used the franchise tag beautifully and
he's gotten paid and paid and paid, and Drew Brees
used the franchise tag and he got big contracts and
all that. But like this, this is the part that's
kind of when you take a step back and look
(10:55):
at it, it's it's it's pretty wild to think about.
So of all the position groups and the franchise tag
number attached to those position groups, the only position group
that has a lower franchise tag number than running back
is kicker slash punter. Like just think quarterback, wide receiver,
(11:19):
tight end, O line, d tackle, d end, linebacker, cornerback, safety,
all of them have a bigger franchise tag number.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Than the running back.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The only one the running back beats out is the
kicker slash punter. And that's based on the average of
the top five salaries per position up in the upcoming year.
And obviously it scales depending on you know, what the
salary cap is at that point. But like we're talking
about one of the most important positions in the NFL,
(11:52):
and the ava.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Seemingly and even if it were the most important, you're
talking about your stif talking about running backs, right, Yes,
I just again, I just think that seemingly it being
the most important position, which it's not. It's the quarterback,
but knowing how important of running back is to a
quarterback success, you take away ed your and James and
(12:17):
Marshall Folk. You don't have a Peyton Manny. You take
away Corey Dylon and what was Anchwan's Smith? Achwan Smith?
You take away those backs that Kevin Folk. You take
away those those backs from Tom Brady. You don't have
a Tom Brady. You take away Jerome Bettis from from
(12:39):
Ben Roethlisberger. You don't have a Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah, we
can keep going, right, we can keep going. Like the
name like if Joe Montana doesn't have Roger Craig, Ricky
Waters Rathman, if he doesn't have that, you don't have
a a Steve Young or a Joe mont You take
(13:01):
away Emmitt Smith and Moose Johnson. You don't have a
Troy Aikman, And for what it's worth, you probably don't
have a Michael Irving.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So if you go, you take away Thurman Thomas, you
don't have a Jim Kelly.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
You can go.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
You can continue like anything you look at. I'd say
the only one that you can't really make that argument
point is with more recent quarterbacks like Pat Mahomes is
going to be Pat Mahomes. Yeah, he's going to be
Patrick Mahomes. I mean that's just the way their offense
is structured. And I think that that becomes the issue.
I think that trend of being able to have interchangeable
(13:39):
running backs and them not having to be really big
name running backs came from Andy Reid. I really do.
I think it came from Andy Reid. I mean, you
think about what he was able to do in Philadelphia.
He took really like obscure talents like Brian Westbrooks and
Douce Staley's and turned them into like, really really helpful
(14:01):
pieces to his offense. They were a passing offense. People
may not know that he's been airing it out for
a long time. Donovan McNabb was airing that ball out
in Philadelphia, and what you do. You had you had
Douce Staley, you had Correll Buckholder, you had Brian Westbrook,
(14:21):
then you had Shady McCoy. You have all these guys
that had the same type of style. Can catch the
ball out of the backfield, can catch screens really well,
can get upfield, can do all of these things.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
They're elusive, they're not very big.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You saw this developing with Andy Reid's offense, and what
is this league? It's a copycat league. Who has the
best offense out there? It's Kansas City and they do
not have their running back by committee. I mean when
they had Leshan McCoy, Lahaan McCoy wasn't even playing.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
They was using other guys when they made the Super
Bowl run.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It's it's easy to say, you can look at the
historical value of what the running backs position presents, but
the bottom line is Jonas like, you can find guys
to be just as serviceable. It's sad to say, but
you can find guys that can be just as serviceable
in these new styles of offense that where you don't
(15:21):
have to value the position the way you once did.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
So who would you say yet, off the top of
your head. You may you may already know this, But
who would you say led the league? Which team led
the league in rushing last year? Off the top of
your head?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, I guess if I had to guess, I would
probably say Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Yeah, if I had to guess.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
It was the Bears, who were the worst team in
the league.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Who was the best?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
The Bears were the worst team in the league. They
led the league in rushing. Oh okay, they led the
team of the league in rushing. Yeah, yeah, I don't know,
but I don't know. I don't know that that that
the correlation is because they could run the ball. But like,
that's a team who part I mean, they ran the
ball because of justin fields. Obviously, that was his effectiveness
(16:09):
rushing the football. He nearly broke the record he would
have if he'd played the final week, final game of
the season, Mike Vick's record, Lamar Jackson's record. Rather, But
that's like an indication that that's a team that has
to rely on the run because their passing game wasn't there.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
They were the worst team in the league.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Hey, you know what else is interesting? I know we're
up against the break, what else is interesting? When you
think about running, it's almost like comparable to the three point,
the three pointer in the NBA and how Steph Curry
changed the whole environment of how you approach playing basketball.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
It's like the mid range of football.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Two points aren't good enough anymore. Yeah, it's almost like
if you can't, if you can't do something that is
extraordinary being inside the three point line, then you're now
as a perimeter player, you're kind of obsolete.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Big men.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You know, you got to be able to rebound, you
got to be able to you know, box out and
stuff like that. But do you have the skills to
come out to the perimeter and be the joker? You
know all these different new you know Kevin Durant, you
know hell Lebron James. These guys are are are six seven,
six eight, six ' nine and above, and they're out
(17:21):
on the perimeter because.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
You can't keep up if you can't.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Shoot three pointers. And we saw that in this year's finals.
We saw it in this year's playoffs, and we've seen
it in the Golden State Warriors becoming what they've been
able to become. And I almost look at it like
you almost can't run the ball. You can't run the
ball to win games anymore. You got to be able
to throw it and air it out and get into
(17:46):
the end zone to be able to keep pace with
these types of teams that can throw the ball, that
are finding ways to get the ball, push the ball
up field.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, we've talked about it before. Like the Niners, that's
the team that still runs a football. They've had a
different leading rusher for like the last five years. Carlos
Hyde was their last running back who led the team
in rushing in multiple years in a row. So it's
is a different game altogether. It's Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio. He's LeVar Arrington,
I'm Jonas Knox coming up next here from the Tyraq
(18:14):
dot Com studios. There's a quarterback who should be doing

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Well that's that's two pros and a cup of Joe. Okay,

Then we'll move on. Does Sam know the superhero names

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Of course I do.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Sorry, who's t J.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Hushman, Zada, mister panteen Man.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Yeah, Plexico is stretch arm Strong stretch arm pa teen Man.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
You have to have a nickname too. You're King of
the Mammals.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I am King of the Mammals.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
Need T shirt? I need great Actually I had already
have an idea.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
But hold on, LeVar said he was going to ditch
King of the Mammals that you had outgrown it.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You said that I kind of I kind of had
got to that point.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
You brought me back. Styxx is definitely going to jump
out there, that's coming.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
King of the Mammals is pretty good. North Hills Hammer
is the one.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I mean, North Hills Hammer is strong. King of the
Mammals is pretty fire Stick City is is a superhero
to me.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, you're right, You're right. Well, I'm with you there, Okay,
we can move on that.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
John, I just want to clear that up.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I now know that you don't listen to our show.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
But it's all right, mister pantee man, stretch your arm
strong and King of the Mammals.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Like, I'm not up on games, So now.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I know when you bring on bring up up on game,
you're just making fun of me.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's not true, all right, that's not true. All right,
Like I'm not well versed on up on game. Give
me a break. But like you said, this gives me heartburn.
Like when you get on me like this though, like
I don't know it is.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Like does it really give you heartburn or does it
not give you heart brown? Because when I think about
getting heartburn, I think about what it tastes like when
you're trying to basically address that heartburn issue. Right, So
if you're tired of chewing on those chocky tasting and
(22:16):
assets and stuff like that, well here's what you gotta do.
You gotta get with my people otc because with just
one pill each morning, you can experience a full twenty
four hours of zero heartburn. It's possible while taking prolosachotc.
I know, I know, you got to use as directed though,
(22:36):
and it's for fourteen days to treat frequent heartburn, not
for mediate relief, all right, just make sure you know that.
But prolosachotc it's the joint.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It's two pros and a cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio. So I Justin Herbert is one of him,
Joe Burrow, Like these guys are looking for they're going
to be the next big contract. When it comes to
the quarterbacks, we've been talking about the running backs. The
quarterbacks don't have any to worry about. Even if you're
a weirdo and you've got a massage fetish, you get
a big time contract like it, there's no problems whatsoever
(23:08):
when it comes to the quarterback.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Well, Justin Herbert.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
He did confirm yesterday that he will be at training
camp a mid contract talks. Yeah, no kidding, Well, what
options does he have When you're a quarterback, it does
feel like you've got to play by a different set
of rules, like they could if they wanted to use
their leverage, they could and probably make a difference. But
(23:31):
wouldn't that be kind of a bad look If you're
supposed to be the leader of the team, you're supposed
to be getting the team ready for the regular season,
and you just decide not to show up because you've
got a contract dispute. That feels like it would land
wrong with a lot of people. So it's almost like
quarterbacks are are viewed differently or have to handle this
thing a little bit differently than some other players can,
(23:53):
just because of the position they play.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
That's a lot I don't think it's I don't think
it should be up to a.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Player to decide if what they're they're commanding as a
talent for a team to actually take into consideration the
other players on the team. I don't think that's there there.
That's not your job. I hate to say it. Now
you can do it, and you can talk about it,
(24:24):
and you can be a part of it that way,
and you can garner you know, whatever it is, the
emotions from your teammates and from the fan base or
whatever it may be. But take this into consideration. I
don't think the I don't think the franchises are ever
not going to take into consideration what's best for their franchise.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Is that safe to say.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Yeah, are we are?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
We certainly?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Are we sure that we can say that there will
not be one franchise decision maker that will not make
a decision for that franchise that is not in the
total one hundred percent best interest of that franchise.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Is that safe to.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Say, Yeah, you're looking out for yourself?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So why is it that players have to take on
a different a different mindset. If you're taking into consideration
what's best for your franchise, then as a as a player,
I'm taking into consideration what's best for my personal franchise
(25:37):
your brand. Always tell guys, people ask me my young
bucks that I mentor all the time, ask me, you
know what should I do for investments? And you know
what should where should I put my money? I said,
we in the bank. In the bank, you know, what
your investment is. You want to know what the highest
stock you can buy. You look at the return on
(26:00):
on on like the return on your your stock. These
these are millions of dollars. Show me somewhere where you
can generate the type of return that that these players
are generating. Put your money in the bank. You are
your own biggest investment, so you can always wait to
(26:22):
go figure out what you want to do next. Don't
be in such a rush to spend your money on
all this. All that well, they told me to go
into the market this way, They told me to go
into the stock market. Here, they said real estate. They
said no, like no, slow down. You do what's best
for your franchise. And right now, your franchise is generating
millions of dollars yearly off of what you do. So
(26:47):
you don't have to put your money anywhere except in
the bank. So when it comes down to you getting
a contract, we've been talking about contracts for running backs
the entire show. And how that that you know they're underappreciated.
They're not getting paid what they're worth or this, that
and the other. The market establishes what you're worth, your value.
You're only going to be as valued as what they're
(27:09):
willing to pay you, like, that's really the true value.
So when it comes down to the fact that you
don't feel like you're getting your value, well, when you're
in a situation where you actually can command the value,
you're now supposed to sit there and be like, h
let me not think about myself and being able to
command this value. Let me think about everybody else that's
on the football team. You got me fed up in
(27:31):
the game if you think that that's how I'm supposed
to be thinking and for what it's worth and for
what it's worth. Not only do you got me messed
up for thinking that should be thinking that way, but
you should be ashamed of yourself if you judge me
for thinking self first, you should be ashamed of yourself
if you think that I'm supposed to conduct my business
(27:51):
differently than what that franchise is doing. And there's some
game for you to speaking the up on game. There's
some game for you. Don't expect players to have to
adjust and adapt what it is that they're seeking and
what they're doing based off of their other teammates. When
the employer is always going to do what's best for
their bottom line, not that player's bottom line or those
(28:14):
other players that you're going to sit there and that
judge your bottom line for as a personal player that
can command the type of dollar that they're going to command,
don't do it.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And that's why you need to tune in every Saturday
morning Star King of the Mammals, stretch your armstrong, and
mister man, it's two pros and a cup of Joe.
Here on Fox Sports Radio. LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with
you here. So we are going to have another edition
of you and of you out coming up here shortly,
but for all the latest from around the world of sports.
(28:44):
Tell anybody around you that's making some noise to shut
their mouths because it's Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Hey, Eddie, Yes, Lamar, when your contract you do contracts here?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Right? Nope, you don't know. Okay, let's say you did.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Okay, if you did contracts, would you base what you're
asking for off of the consideration of other employees at
the at the company?
Speaker 5 (29:09):
If I had that information, I might would you really?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, you're a good dude, man, Yeah, I appreciate.
Speaker 3 (29:17):

Speaker 4 (35:32):
The way out out.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I went to the US Open at Oakmont. Fox was
on the I was doing the coverage there and so
we went out in twenty sixteen, and it was actually
right after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup. So went
to the Stanley Cup. Parade for the Penguins, and then
you know, Oakmont's like twenty minutes away from downtown Pittsburgh.
Beautiful course, there were thunderstorms that were scaring the bleep
(35:58):
out of everybody in the media tent there, and so
ever since then, I feel like I'm obligated to watch
the US Open time.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Man.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Well, currently, guys.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
We got the Denver Nuggets Championship parade today ten am
local time. That's mountain time, you guys, ent are out
on mountain time. And the Denver Nuggets Championship parade, now,
don't care.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I mean, I'm in if I was there.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
I mean, but where I'm currently sitting, I mean, there's
no way I can be in. I'm out. And you know,
but you know, the weather here isn't great. It's probably
better weather in Denver, and then it's probably a whole
lot of clouds. You know, it would probably be very
very cloudy at that parade. I would most certainly be
(36:41):
in one hundred percent if I was in position to attend.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
I mean, does it as a spectator too.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I don't want backseat or I mean backstage type passes
or anything. I want to be with the people in
this one because for some strange reason, I think it's
going to be lit like more than one way lit.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
You just you just get the I mean, people get hammered,
and that's it. Like the last time something unique happened
was Matt Stafford and that woman that fell off the
stage taking a picture, Like and that was when you know,
you had you had like fourteen Rams fans that showed up,
and then you had politicians, local politicians wearing Saint Louis
(37:18):
Rams jerseys instead of the actual La Rams jerseys. Like
that was the last noteworthy parade Other than that, It's
like what Tom Brady and uh and playing CAMRA's Yeah,
Cameron Braid playing catch with the trophy.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Like the daughter of the sculptor or whatever, the creator
of it was like really really upset about it. Yeah
maybe not, maybe they didn't drop it, but she was
definitely not happy about them throwing it.
