Speaker 3 (01:26):
How the hell are you feeling just.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Hanging in there? Man? So everybody wants to know because
we've had people reaching out. They got to know what
a day is like in State College with lebar Arrington
because you had just gotten there yesterday late the night.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's a day like with me? Or what's the day like?
You know for me?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Either way? Any way you want to slice it either way,
because we want to know. You were talking big about
Cafe two ten and getting to work out in and
the brand new facilities there at Penn State and then
going on a walk and cruising around the campus like,
so what was the what did the day.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Day cruise around the campus yesterday. It's the first time
I walked campus probably since, uh since I left here,
you know, because as I was telling you guys on
the show, it's a big ass campus. So I went
downstairs and worked out after the show. Like I said, Uh,
our new weight room is freaking amazing, super dope weight room. Uh,
(02:23):
the staff super dope. You know, my shoulder has been hurt.
And I told you I hurt my shoulder, right, I
tell y'all. Course, so I tweaked my shoulder messing around
with my kid in the weight room, trying to outdo
them when we were trying to outdo each other. And
next thing, you know, two days later, after workout, my
shoulder just ain't been right. Anyway, I went in there,
(02:44):
and you know, sometimes staffs can be a little, you know,
like weird. And I'll say, you know, and you don't
ever want to overstep your bounds as an as an
old alumni and or anything like that. So you know,
I'm I'm very courteous and I'm very very aware. So
I'm very respectful and and you know, ask, is it
(03:05):
okay if I use the facility, you know, to do
the like I do the radio show here right, So
I'm in one of the one of the coaches meeting
rooms doing the show, and then when I finish up,
I go downstairs. The equipment people were super gracious. They
they gave me two pins, so meaning you know you
you I have two in rotation. So I'm almost like
(03:28):
a player, you know, I have I have gear for yesterday,
and then I have gear for today. Now I'm here
until Sunday morning, so I'll work out all the way
up until Saturday.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I'll go in in the weight room. You know, I
go in every day.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So they gave you, they give you two sets of
what two.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Pens, right, like two sets of clothes to wear in
the weight room.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Is that what they call them? Pens?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well you call? Well there, I call. When I played,
you actually had this big ass pen like like a
like a just imagine a super ginormous safety pin, huh.
And you put your clothes on it and then you
put it in the laundry. It has your number on it,
(04:13):
they wash it, they put it back in your cubby.
So they gave that. Now it's like a strap, like
it's like a ring or like a you know, it's loose,
but in an insane concept. But yeah, they gave me
two of them and I was like, man, it was
it's just the little things that that matter. And I'll
tell you what, James Franklin has built a culture here
(04:35):
that is it's super amazing. So just everybody was very cool.
I was in the in the gym, I was getting
it in. You know, this is the first time I've
been here to this capacity as a Hall of Famer
and the like, it's almost like it's just I just
feel different. I feel different, I move different. It's just
(04:59):
that it's such a an amazing accomplishment and it's such
a representation of all of us, you know. It's like, oh,
you were an All American that matters. Oh you played
well for us, that matters, you did well in school,
that matters, Like every little thing matters. And then to
be rewarded for it by making it into the Hall
of Fame, which is a scholastic as well as scholar award,
(05:22):
it's a It was pretty surreal moving around the facility
with that distinction. Like my picture is in places that
only a few people are on are there, and so
it's like people were walking up to me Jonas and
it was like they saw like a ghost. It was like,
(05:44):
it's like really like it's like a surreal feeling, like
these young dudes are walking up to you and they're like,
you know, at first I didn't catch on to it,
but every like, coaches were coming through the weight room,
and then coaches were coming through the training room when
I was getting treatment on my shoulder, and then all
these players were coming in, and you know, I started
(06:06):
to pick up on the fact that I guess it
went through the building that I'm here, and and so
they were coming in to meet me the wildest as ever,
man like like. And I've had that reception like somewhat
before where guys are excited to see me, but it
just looked different.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It just it felt different. You all look different.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I mean, come on, man like that.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I mean it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That's what all those guys strive to be because you know,
maybe some of them, you know, won't make it to
the make it to the league or have you know,
a career, or they'll get a tryout, but they look
at the opportunity and say, well, I'm on a ride
here at Penn State right now. Division one.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I got. I got an opportunity, right now, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And that's I think that's the cool part. And the
thing you said about James Franklin, it's one of my
favorite stories about James Franklin. There was an anonymous poll
that was done. God, this is probably got to be
five years ago, and I think it was on cbssports
dot com where they interviewed a bunch of people around
college football coaches, staffers, administrators, whatever, and they just they
(07:11):
had all these different categories and one of the categories
was most overrated head coaches in college football and James
Franklin was among the top five. And one of the
anonymous knocks on him was, well, he only knows how
to recruit. Yeah, okay, and so like like the so
did ed Orzrod he won a national title. Like, like,
if you know how to recruit, that's that's more than
(07:32):
half the battle.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
In the fact, definitely a big battle.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And that fact that he was able to recruit and
he's been able to steer the program where it's at
and put together just the facilities that you're talking about.
I think they're in a great spot.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Man, I'll say this.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And he came into the training room and we had
a we had a long conversation. We were just you know,
chopping it up and we talked about those things. And
I love how like transparent. You know, Jane is, at
least with me, he's very transparent, and you know, we
share a lot of the same values, a lot of
the same beliefs, and and just having a conversation about
(08:11):
those types of things. To come here and experience the
young men that are in this program, to experience the
young women that are a part of this program, and
to see how things are ran around here, you couldn't
be the furthest thing from uneducated on what that man
(08:34):
has been able to create here in the time and
tenure that he's been here. I'd say that's the only
way in my estimation, if you think that about him,
you would have to walk these these hallways and walk
these walls. Look at our graduation rate like it was
something that they bragged about when Joe was here and
(08:54):
was the head coach. It's it's either the like right
around the same or high than what it was when
Joe was here. And just the way they go about
their business here, the way those young men and the
young women that are in this building, how respectful and
(09:17):
how gracious they are. I've just you know, it restored
a piece of me yesterday where you get so removed.
I haven't been a Penn State football player since ninety nine,
you know, I'm twenty twenty three, twenty five years removed
(09:38):
from from being being a Nickney Lion. And it's just
it's it's amazing. It's amazing to me that after all
these years, I didn't realize how stagnant I had become
and how I feel about, you know, just being being
a part of this. And I truly like with like.
(10:01):
I'll give you a great example. I think my disconnect
came with Bill O'Brien. If I'm being honest, I can't
stand people. Wonder why I'm so hard lying on Bill O'Brien.
I don't like him because of Bob. Come on, there's
some and there's some guys that you know had felt
good about, you know, Bill when when he was here.
I can't stand him for the stuff that the stuff
(10:22):
that I heard he did when he got here. I
can't stand him, and I make no bones about it.
Never met him, don't know him a day in my life.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Can't stand I mean, in fairness, so you kinda kind
of took over a rough spot.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
No, no, no, See, here's the thing. Here's where you
can't confuse the two. You can't confuse taking over in
a rough spot with how you treat the people that
were in that rough spot. Some of those people went
through that rough that rough time, and they were there,
like and they were blindsided by that and to be
(10:57):
you know, escorted from the building with with like armed
security and stuff like that, like get the f out
of here, Like to treat people that have been here
and have been pillars to this community and to this program,
to treat them with utter disrespect the way that he did,
it's unforgivable to me. And that has nothing to do
(11:19):
with what took place here. Those people didn't have anything
to do with that. They were shocked and surprised, just
like anybody else that was out there, you know. And
so it's a deeper conversation. It's a much much deeper
conversation because this program has been built on family, and
so when you have a violation like what took place
with Sandusky take place, it creates a disconnect. Right Like
(11:43):
I have defended my school, A lot of us have
defended our school and our pride and what it represents
to us. But we had a disconnect too. You know,
we're people, we're human, So we're not sitting here like, oh,
it was okay, you know with Jerry, like whatever, da
da da. No. We were upset. We were disgusted. I mean,
if anything, we were more upset than than the general public,
(12:05):
than the people who were calling us kid rapists and
and child molesters and all those things. We were more
upset than those people. And people didn't realize that. People
didn't know it, Jonas, and and and yet you're still
faced with trying to pick up the pieces of something
that was torn apart and broken apart by someone that
(12:27):
was acting on their own. You know, we didn't know
what was going on. We didn't We didn't realize what
was taking place. And and for for those people out
there that that pointed the finger at all of us
and turned it into a thing, you know, it was
kind of like Bill O'Brien came in here treating us
like an outsider. So he's an outsider to me, He's
(12:48):
an outsider forever to me on a personal level. If
he like, if he goes in and he does an amazing,
excellent job as the offensive coordinator for New England, and
we're talking about Bill O'Brien. I don't let my personal
opinions of people dictate how I talk about them or
how I handle things with them. But on a personal level,
(13:08):
I don't f with him at all at all. Like
if I see him on the street, I wouldn't say
hello to him. I wouldn't be cordial to him because
he did some of those things to people who are
very near and dear to my heart, like one of
them being like, hey, like one of my best friends.
He did it too, you know, and he was my
teammate here and it was just just the way he
treated them. So getting back on point, because you know,
(13:31):
I know you just made me take up the whole
segment with talking about State. But getting back on point
the feeling that I had as a Penn Stater for
so long, Jonas, I didn't realize how just I'm a
Penn Stater, I love Penn State. Anything I can do
to help Penn State, I'll do it, like I'll do it.
(13:51):
Anything that I can do to push us forward, I'll
do it. But I just didn't know that I had
a It was just very a matter of fact, you
know what I mean, Like you know how you have
like that family member you love them to death, but
it's like kind of like oh.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
There he is or oh there she is type deal. Right.
I didn't realize that until yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I didn't realize that I had felt that way about
my school until yesterday. It's like, I'm supposed to love
them because it's my school. I'm supposed to feel this
way because it's my school. Yesterday I came back to
life like it brought me seeing these young men and
these young women and the way they interact with one another,
(14:37):
and the way they take care of their business and
the way people greet one another, and the way the
energy felt, and even walking the campus, just.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
The way it felt. It just man like, bro, I
got emotional.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'm getting emotional now, Like I got emotional because it
woke something up in me that I didn't even realize.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Was was sleep, that was dormant, that wasn't even there.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
So if you're a ask me, what was it like,
It's like nothing you could ever even imagine. It's not
something I can put in words. I went to the
I went to the baseball game. Shouts out to the Spikes,
my boy Scott Walker. It's just it's just it's just
an amazing place.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Man.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
State College is one of the most magical, amazing places
that that you could ever be in, and I'm just
proud to have been a part of it.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, well listen, it's so magical there that Lee to
Lap accidentally put it as college station on the rundown,
So I just want to yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah, it's not college station. I do believe that's Texas.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
A and M.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I do believe that's Texas.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, come on, but no, that's awesome. That's awesome. That's uh,
that's cool to hear, and that seems like an awesome experience.
I would love to get out there. I've heard nothing
but good things. I'm glad that everybody's on the same
page and they're celebrating the Hall of Famer as they should.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
They're pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Stick City back is Stick City.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
The place it is.
Speaker 1 (16:01):

somebody in the NFL is very optimistic. But this somebody
(16:24):
is somebody a lot of you criticize all the time.
We'll tell you who that is. That's next.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Come it up
in we'll call it about twenty minutes from now here
from the tire rack dot Com studios. We are going
to find out how many people in the world of
sports are gaddis, So stick around for that. That'll come
up in about twenty minutes from now and another edition
(17:05):
of in case you missed it here on FSR SO
Lvar Arrington. The Dallas Cowboys, Yeah, are getting ready for
another season. This is another seas well not I mean,
who knows possibly.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Oh, I mean maybe literally, not not figuratively. Yeah, maybe figuratively,
not literally.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It could be. And the Dallas Cowboys who prepare themselves
for this season in a division where they've got two
other teams that made the playoffs last year, one of
which was in a Super Bowl and nearly won the
damn thing. Uh, they are getting ready for this next year.
There's been some changes there, They've added some pieces. Zeke
is gone. But Dak Prescott was speaking on local Dallas
(17:45):
radio on the ticket there and.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Was a local Dallas radio just just talking ticket.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Talking, you know, and it was very optimistic about the
Cowboys and what they've done over the past couple of years.
So let's take a listen to these Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
QB.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
All right, you're able to take now to twelve win
seasons over into this one and build. And the first
time in my career and staff felt like consecutive seasons
are building where going back to twenty one, we've been
able to be we built that year and then now
we can build again. And I think that's the best
real chance that you have of making it. You've got
to go give a noox, You've got to see what
it feels like in us. Having that now you feel
(18:18):
a lot more comfortable. You're excited about the details, the
changes that we've had on the offense and just the team,
and I'm looking forward to it with a lot of excitement.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now for the Cowboy fans and Cowboy haters out there,
this might come as a surprise. Only the Kansas City
Chiefs have more wins over the last two seasons than
the Dallas Cowboys. So to his point, back to back
twelve win seasons that puts you in rarefied air. The
problem is when you look at the teams that have
(18:47):
won the most over the past two years, there seems
to be a clear divide between the Cowboys and everybody
else because the company they keep in back to back
successful seasons are the Chiefs, who've got twenty six wins
over the last couple of years. Then you've got the Bills,
the Eagles, the forty nine Ers, and the Bengals. And
I don't know about you, LeVar Arrington, but it feels
(19:10):
like there's a clear difference between the Cowboys and the
rest of those teams. Those teams feel like legitimate Super
Bowl contenders, and the Cowboys feel like they need some
things to go their way in order to make it happen.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I think they all need some things to go their
way to make it happen. I think the NFC is,
as we've had in prior conversations. I think it's the
most vulnerable of divisions that exists. And or conference is
(19:41):
a conference the conference. I think the conference is just
up for grabs. We can say that it's Philadelphia is
to take and they have done everything the right way
to have you feeling this way. They have all the
same play pretty much in place. They've added new players.
(20:03):
They're they're on rookie contracts, so you have a little
bit of time before you have to think about what
you're gonna do with some of these guys that you
have on your team. But let's be clear here, they
took that major step forward last year. There's no real
established correlation that that Philadelphia will be this type of
(20:28):
team moving.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
On here on out.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
No one in the NFC has established that they are
a superpower. That you know, this is just what it is.
It's them and everyone else. They looked impressive. They had
a very very very productive year. They made it to
the super Bowl, could have won a could have won
the Super Bowl. They were very much in the game,
(20:52):
and that was against a very very very good Uh.
Some would say the best team in the NFL right
now out of the Kansas City Chiefs. So and not
to mention one of the greatest coaches to ever coach
in the National Football League. But outside of saying that
they look to be the best team in the NFC,
(21:17):
I don't think that you you can say definitively that
anyone has established that they are the beast within the conference.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Like if you go through the NFC North, who is it?
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean, I mean nobody, the juggernaut that is a
Detroit Lions.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Come on, nobody, nobody.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You mean to tell the NFL's opening up their season
with the Detroit Lions and you're going to disrespect them
and say they're not a legitimate team after you call
you called the Lions game. Two years ago, LeVar Arrington
did angeloney.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I had him when he was in high school.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Listen, I had that didn't sound right, Paul I coached
him at the under Armor I coached him. I coached
him in the under Armour All American Game. All right,
there we go, Because that did not sound right.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You're wrong, man.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
You know you gotta think about things differently where I'm
sitting right now.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
You know you got word things properly.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
You're wrong, man.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You better wear you all the time. I do hope
you you want to say something like that.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
The part on the Players Club where Bernie Mack is
saying to the copa, you better wear your bulletproof vest
all day.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Oh dang.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Your fat mother. By the way, But those wondering that
the clip in the open where it says who she's
talking to like that talking to your ass? It's from
that Seats Club. So we always laugh about that.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
But yeah, but I just don't don't look at like
I look at A lot of teams have the opportunity
to take it and listen, what what what Dak Prescott
is saying is one hundred percent spot on. You know
what would be the best thing for the National Football
(23:19):
League to take place? Honestly on everything. And people may
like it, people may not like it. The best thing
that could ever happen to the NFL is if Dallas
actually lives up to the hype one of these years.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I agreed, totally agree, in fact, lives up to the hype,
gets to the Super Bowl and loses on a last
second field goal. That would that would that would make
everybody's day because Cowboy fans would be distraught and cowboy haters,
and there's plenty of them. You've been accused of being
one of those, Labar Arrington.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I'm not a cowboy hater.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
They listen. I feel like I've been more optimistic on
the Cowboys than you and Brady Quinn have been over
the past couple Ye.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I'm just realistic, you know what I mean. I'm just
realistic And have we been No. I just I feel like, look,
if you want my true opinion, I feel like we've
seen the best of what Dallas, this group, this personnel
has to offer.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
This feels like the make or break year. This is
the one.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I just feel like we've seen. Yeah, but that's every
year we say that. It's every year we say that
for the Dallas Cowboys. Again, I will say this and
I repeat what Dak said in his in his SoundBite
that we played sound spot on at sound spot On.
I think it makes a ton of sense. And to
(24:37):
be that optimistic this year is probably the This is
probably the most feasible to feel that way and not
look at it and be like, Nope, you gotta deal
with the Rams, Nope, you gotta deal with the forty
nine ers, Nope, you gotta deal with Philly in your division.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Nope.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Can't do it like this is not I don't get
that feeling. So to feel so optimistic where And here's
the thing. We don't know what type of play caller
McCarthy is going to be for this team, but we
do know that he has a proven track record of
(25:20):
being successful in that role. So to me, maybe the
excitement of having that take place so far and what
that feels like, maybe Kellen Moore was holding them back.
Maybe that's what it was. Maybe there were elements of
what they had going on. I mean, they corrected it
(25:41):
with their defense in a matter of a year, Jonas.
They bring in dan Quinn and the defense becomes the
reason why this team was good.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But if you think about it, before.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Dan Quinn came, it was the offense that was the
reason why Dallas was pretty competitive. Then all of a sudden,
the offense becomes the the liability and the defense becomes
the strong point. So if the offense has a way
of becoming an asset again and it's competing to be
the main asset of the team, then now you have
(26:12):
a balance, you have a healthy balance, because that defense
is going to be formidable, one hundred percent formidable. So
you can't just look at them and be like, ah, scrubs,
like oh this is Dallas. Like do I feel like
we've seen the best of this group? I said yes.
Could I one hundred percent be incorrect? I certainly could be.
(26:33):
And that's why you love the game. If prognosticators were
one hundred percent correct when they say what they say,
and there's one hundred percent all the time, what do
you need to watch for?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Oh, LeVar said they're going to suck. I'm not watching.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let me tell you something. If I was right all
the time, I wouldn't be doing radio.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah here, that makes two of us.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
So that makes two of us, but not because of sports,
betting other things.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I would agree. I think that's why the NFC is
interesting because everything's up in the air.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I just.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I think if you're a Cowboys fan at a certain point,
you got to curb your expectations and just be like, Eh,
let's let's slow down. Why don't we baby steps? How
about you just get past the second round of the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
You know, it's like, oh yeah, like, hey, listen, world,
I'm Dak Prescott. Yeah, I appreciate y'all tuning in and
listening to the things I have to say at this
press conference. So what I really think about this is,
you know what, it would be really really nice for
us to have like a good regular season, like positive
regular season, and make it to the playoffs and then,
(27:36):
you know what, at least make it to the second round.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I would love for us to make it to the
second sea.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
That's the type of honesty we could use in the
world of sports.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
That's what if. That's what he's thinking and that's where
they end up.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
I just I think that he's shortchanging himself as a competitor.
You can't be an ultra competitor, the ultimate competitor saying yeah,
second round is good. I just want us to make
it to the same Hell, I was at a point
where I just wanted us to be above five hundred
when I was in the league. I'm not going out
(28:09):
in a press conference saying, hey, everybody, look, LeVar Arrington here, Look,
I just want to be realistic with you guys, our fans,
the media. We just want to make it to five hundred,
and then you know what, at some point if we
could actually get above five hundred, that would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Like what did this man just say?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That's some great honesty right there?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Though?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
That's b s And everybody listening is like, he's a loser.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
What an average guy?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, but I also feel like, you know, if you're
a Cowboy fan as the season approaches, you know, having
all this speculation about whether or not they're a contender
or they can follow up back to back twelve win seasons,
it just feels like that would generate a little bit
of heartburn for me. I mean, I'm just speaking for myself.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Hey, you know what's crazy about that?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Before I get to this prolesack read, because you do
need some prolisak when you deal with with what's going
on in Dallas, because they can't give you heartburn because
you believe in them. But I would ultimately say that
when you look at the make of this team and
the make of the NFC and even the NFC East,
(29:19):
you're looking at a team that has the potential of
you not having to take those chewy choky and assets
all day because they got a chance to win and
you know what, if for some unforeseen reason they live
up to the potential, then you don't have to worry
about that heartburn. But if for some strange reason they
(29:40):
are who we thought they are and they do end
up letting you down, then you'll want to try prolisak
OTC and with just one pill each morning, you're prepared
to be a Cowboys fan. You can experience a full
twenty four hours of zero heartburn when they let you down.
So it's possible you could take prowlysak OTC and be
(30:02):
a Dallas Cowboys fan. All right, Users directed, make sure
you try to get fourteen days in before you watch
Dallas content, Okay, because it's not for immediate relief, all right,
you gotta get fourteen days in, So get started on
OTC right now, and then once.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
You get to the season, you already be set. Yeah,
you don't have to worry about it. Great point, there
you go.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The great point It.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Is just figure out.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I let everybody know, man, you know his awo positive
way of approaching this.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
It is two pros and a cup of joe. Here

Speaker 1 (33:00):
It's great goose. Yeah, it's just here is uh, it
is two pros and a cup of Joe here though
on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, coming up top
of next hour a little over ten minutes from now.
From the ti raq dot Com Studios. We are going
to discuss the potential return of one quarterback in the NFL.
That's right, speculation is happening yet again. We'll get into
(33:22):

Speaker 9 (33:54):
I've found the commercial so not cours like MGD Miller
Genuine Dress.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Okay, Miller High Life.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah, that's why I was connected to that High Life campaign.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
By the way, how about MGD still rolling out those
vintage bottles with the labels, you know, like just like
a little throwback for you. Looks like, uh, it looks
like like Miller High Life at MGD or well whatever,
you know what I mean. Miller High Life rolls out
those vintage bottles and like it feels like you're on
the set of Edward Scissorhands. It's like something they would
(34:28):
they would drink while they were watching him cut some
of the planets. Yeah, yeah, good, nice, nice vintage beer.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Nice little throwback.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
All right, So what do we got guys in case?
Speaker 9 (34:47):
In case you miss this, and shame on you if
you did. Aaron Rodgers was a guest speaker at the
Psychedelic Science Conference.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Yeah, drugs, baby, let me tell you how you get.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
To the sky.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Very interesting that you.
Speaker 9 (35:06):
Talked about the bond he's had with teammates and other
players around the league who've shared experiences with him, specifically
using ayahuasca. Also said that over one hundred athletes and
both football players, baseball players basketball players have reached out
to him since he's publicly come out about using psychedelics
in ayahuasca about their interest as well.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I mean, it doesn't surprise me, like the way he
talks about it here. Some people talk about their experience
of psychedelics and it changes them, like I know, like
Joe Rogan's talked about it. There's been a lot of
people who have said that it takes you to a
place to where all your inhibitions are let go. You
have to address all of your insecurities, all of that,
(35:47):
and then when you come back you're never the same afterwards.
Like it puts you in the right mindset. So not
surprising the Rogers would go this direction. I would just
wonder on one of his trips, like whether or not
he addressed the fact that, you know, he decided to
part ways with Olibya mon. I just want to know
whether that came up in the conversation while he was
time traveling on a Thus.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
That name.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Is very very Uh it catches your attention, Olivia.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Month, Yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Just catches your attention, you know, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
So it's some of emails you've got mail.
Speaker 8 (36:27):
Oh no, oh no, oh no, Olivia said, Ay, So,
say so you.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Ever thought about you ever thought about turning to drugs
to find yourself? LeVar?
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Well, I mean we run a totally transparent show here.
I have messed with the stickiest of the sticky itchy.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah. Hey, Draymond Green with us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Draymond has LeVar ever dealt with the stickiest of vickyist.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Say the doctor told me I needed a back out
of me.
Speaker 8 (37:17):
Let me get a little bit on your sweet as sheba.
Speaker 9 (37:22):
What else we got, lee, guys, In case you missed it, he.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
And casey missy.
Speaker 9 (37:30):
Willie mcguinnis is being sued yet again, this time for
allegedly punching a man in a fight over jim equipment
in a twenty four hour fitness in Long Beach, California.
Plaintiff Andrew Cortez claims he was using the bench press
when someone walked up and took one of his plates off.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
You hate when that happens.
Speaker 9 (37:47):
Anyway, there was an exchange between them where McGinnis came up,
shared some words, and allegedly jumped mister Cortez with three
or four other men.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
How long do this happened? Two years? Two years ago,
almost to the date.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
This guy, they better stop messing with mac man.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, this guy's full of crab.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Stop messing with Willy.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
He waits two years to complain about some guy roughing
him up over a weight he took off his bench press.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Come on, dude, what are we doing y'all?
Speaker 4 (38:15):
I ain't figured out Mac ain't playing around no better.
Y'all better stop playing with him. So all, I'm gonna
tell you.
Speaker 1 (38:21):

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Hanging in there? Man? So everybody wants to know because
we've had people reaching out. They got to know what
a day is like in State College with lebar Arrington
because you had just gotten there yesterday late the night.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's a day like with me? Or what's the day like?
You know for me?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Either way? Any way you want to slice it either way,
because we want to know. You were talking big about
Cafe two ten and getting to work out in and
the brand new facilities there at Penn State and then
going on a walk and cruising around the campus like,
so what was the what did the day.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Day cruise around the campus yesterday. It's the first time
I walked campus probably since, uh since I left here,
you know, because as I was telling you guys on
the show, it's a big ass campus. So I went
downstairs and worked out after the show. Like I said, Uh,
our new weight room is freaking amazing, super dope weight room. Uh,
(02:23):
the staff super dope. You know, my shoulder has been hurt.
And I told you I hurt my shoulder, right, I
tell y'all. Course, so I tweaked my shoulder messing around
with my kid in the weight room, trying to outdo
them when we were trying to outdo each other. And
next thing, you know, two days later, after workout, my
shoulder just ain't been right. Anyway, I went in there,
(02:44):
and you know, sometimes staffs can be a little, you know,
like weird. And I'll say, you know, and you don't
ever want to overstep your bounds as an as an
old alumni and or anything like that. So you know,
I'm I'm very courteous and I'm very very aware. So
I'm very respectful and and you know, ask, is it
(03:05):
okay if I use the facility, you know, to do
the like I do the radio show here right, So
I'm in one of the one of the coaches meeting
rooms doing the show, and then when I finish up,
I go downstairs. The equipment people were super gracious. They
they gave me two pins, so meaning you know you
you I have two in rotation. So I'm almost like
(03:28):
a player, you know, I have I have gear for yesterday,
and then I have gear for today. Now I'm here
until Sunday morning, so I'll work out all the way
up until Saturday.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I'll go in in the weight room. You know, I
go in every day.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So they gave you, they give you two sets of
what two.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Pens, right, like two sets of clothes to wear in
the weight room.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Is that what they call them? Pens?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well you call? Well there, I call. When I played,
you actually had this big ass pen like like a
like a just imagine a super ginormous safety pin, huh.
And you put your clothes on it and then you
put it in the laundry. It has your number on it,
(04:13):
they wash it, they put it back in your cubby.
So they gave that. Now it's like a strap, like
it's like a ring or like a you know, it's loose,
but in an insane concept. But yeah, they gave me
two of them and I was like, man, it was
it's just the little things that that matter. And I'll
tell you what, James Franklin has built a culture here
(04:35):
that is it's super amazing. So just everybody was very cool.
I was in the in the gym, I was getting
it in. You know, this is the first time I've
been here to this capacity as a Hall of Famer
and the like, it's almost like it's just I just
feel different. I feel different, I move different. It's just
(04:59):
that it's such a an amazing accomplishment and it's such
a representation of all of us, you know. It's like, oh,
you were an All American that matters. Oh you played
well for us, that matters, you did well in school,
that matters, Like every little thing matters. And then to
be rewarded for it by making it into the Hall
of Fame, which is a scholastic as well as scholar award,
(05:22):
it's a It was pretty surreal moving around the facility
with that distinction. Like my picture is in places that
only a few people are on are there, and so
it's like people were walking up to me Jonas and
it was like they saw like a ghost. It was like,
(05:44):
it's like really like it's like a surreal feeling, like
these young dudes are walking up to you and they're like,
you know, at first I didn't catch on to it,
but every like, coaches were coming through the weight room,
and then coaches were coming through the training room when
I was getting treatment on my shoulder, and then all
these players were coming in, and you know, I started
(06:06):
to pick up on the fact that I guess it
went through the building that I'm here, and and so
they were coming in to meet me the wildest as ever,
man like like. And I've had that reception like somewhat
before where guys are excited to see me, but it
just looked different.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It just it felt different. You all look different.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I mean, come on, man like that.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I mean it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
That's what all those guys strive to be because you know,
maybe some of them, you know, won't make it to
the make it to the league or have you know,
a career, or they'll get a tryout, but they look
at the opportunity and say, well, I'm on a ride
here at Penn State right now. Division one.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I got. I got an opportunity, right now, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And that's I think that's the cool part. And the
thing you said about James Franklin, it's one of my
favorite stories about James Franklin. There was an anonymous poll
that was done. God, this is probably got to be
five years ago, and I think it was on cbssports
dot com where they interviewed a bunch of people around
college football coaches, staffers, administrators, whatever, and they just they
(07:11):
had all these different categories and one of the categories
was most overrated head coaches in college football and James
Franklin was among the top five. And one of the
anonymous knocks on him was, well, he only knows how
to recruit. Yeah, okay, and so like like the so
did ed Orzrod he won a national title. Like, like,
if you know how to recruit, that's that's more than
(07:32):
half the battle.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
In the fact, definitely a big battle.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
And that fact that he was able to recruit and
he's been able to steer the program where it's at
and put together just the facilities that you're talking about.
I think they're in a great spot.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Man, I'll say this.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And he came into the training room and we had
a we had a long conversation. We were just you know,
chopping it up and we talked about those things. And
I love how like transparent. You know, Jane is, at
least with me, he's very transparent, and you know, we
share a lot of the same values, a lot of
the same beliefs, and and just having a conversation about
(08:11):
those types of things. To come here and experience the
young men that are in this program, to experience the
young women that are a part of this program, and
to see how things are ran around here, you couldn't
be the furthest thing from uneducated on what that man
(08:34):
has been able to create here in the time and
tenure that he's been here. I'd say that's the only
way in my estimation, if you think that about him,
you would have to walk these these hallways and walk
these walls. Look at our graduation rate like it was
something that they bragged about when Joe was here and
(08:54):
was the head coach. It's it's either the like right
around the same or high than what it was when
Joe was here. And just the way they go about
their business here, the way those young men and the
young women that are in this building, how respectful and
(09:17):
how gracious they are. I've just you know, it restored
a piece of me yesterday where you get so removed.
I haven't been a Penn State football player since ninety nine,
you know, I'm twenty twenty three, twenty five years removed
(09:38):
from from being being a Nickney Lion. And it's just
it's it's amazing. It's amazing to me that after all
these years, I didn't realize how stagnant I had become
and how I feel about, you know, just being being
a part of this. And I truly like with like.
(10:01):
I'll give you a great example. I think my disconnect
came with Bill O'Brien. If I'm being honest, I can't
stand people. Wonder why I'm so hard lying on Bill O'Brien.
I don't like him because of Bob. Come on, there's
some and there's some guys that you know had felt
good about, you know, Bill when when he was here.
I can't stand him for the stuff that the stuff
(10:22):
that I heard he did when he got here. I
can't stand him, and I make no bones about it.
Never met him, don't know him a day in my life.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Can't stand I mean, in fairness, so you kinda kind
of took over a rough spot.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
No, no, no, See, here's the thing. Here's where you
can't confuse the two. You can't confuse taking over in
a rough spot with how you treat the people that
were in that rough spot. Some of those people went
through that rough that rough time, and they were there,
like and they were blindsided by that and to be
(10:57):
you know, escorted from the building with with like armed
security and stuff like that, like get the f out
of here, Like to treat people that have been here
and have been pillars to this community and to this program,
to treat them with utter disrespect the way that he did,
it's unforgivable to me. And that has nothing to do
(11:19):
with what took place here. Those people didn't have anything
to do with that. They were shocked and surprised, just
like anybody else that was out there, you know. And
so it's a deeper conversation. It's a much much deeper
conversation because this program has been built on family, and
so when you have a violation like what took place
with Sandusky take place, it creates a disconnect. Right Like
(11:43):
I have defended my school, A lot of us have
defended our school and our pride and what it represents
to us. But we had a disconnect too. You know,
we're people, we're human, So we're not sitting here like, oh,
it was okay, you know with Jerry, like whatever, da
da da. No. We were upset. We were disgusted. I mean,
if anything, we were more upset than than the general public,
(12:05):
than the people who were calling us kid rapists and
and child molesters and all those things. We were more
upset than those people. And people didn't realize that. People
didn't know it, Jonas, and and and yet you're still
faced with trying to pick up the pieces of something
that was torn apart and broken apart by someone that
(12:27):
was acting on their own. You know, we didn't know
what was going on. We didn't We didn't realize what
was taking place. And and for for those people out
there that that pointed the finger at all of us
and turned it into a thing, you know, it was
kind of like Bill O'Brien came in here treating us
like an outsider. So he's an outsider to me, He's
(12:48):
an outsider forever to me on a personal level. If
he like, if he goes in and he does an amazing,
excellent job as the offensive coordinator for New England, and
we're talking about Bill O'Brien. I don't let my personal
opinions of people dictate how I talk about them or
how I handle things with them. But on a personal level,
(13:08):
I don't f with him at all at all. Like
if I see him on the street, I wouldn't say
hello to him. I wouldn't be cordial to him because
he did some of those things to people who are
very near and dear to my heart, like one of
them being like, hey, like one of my best friends.
He did it too, you know, and he was my
teammate here and it was just just the way he
treated them. So getting back on point, because you know,
(13:31):
I know you just made me take up the whole
segment with talking about State. But getting back on point
the feeling that I had as a Penn Stater for
so long, Jonas, I didn't realize how just I'm a
Penn Stater, I love Penn State. Anything I can do
to help Penn State, I'll do it, like I'll do it.
(13:51):
Anything that I can do to push us forward, I'll
do it. But I just didn't know that I had
a It was just very a matter of fact, you
know what I mean, Like you know how you have
like that family member you love them to death, but
it's like kind of like oh.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
There he is or oh there she is type deal. Right.
I didn't realize that until yesterday.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I didn't realize that I had felt that way about
my school until yesterday. It's like, I'm supposed to love
them because it's my school. I'm supposed to feel this
way because it's my school. Yesterday I came back to
life like it brought me seeing these young men and
these young women and the way they interact with one another,
(14:37):
and the way they take care of their business and
the way people greet one another, and the way the
energy felt, and even walking the campus, just.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
The way it felt. It just man like, bro, I
got emotional.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'm getting emotional now, Like I got emotional because it
woke something up in me that I didn't even realize.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Was was sleep, that was dormant, that wasn't even there.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
So if you're a ask me, what was it like,
It's like nothing you could ever even imagine. It's not
something I can put in words. I went to the
I went to the baseball game. Shouts out to the Spikes,
my boy Scott Walker. It's just it's just it's just
an amazing place.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Man.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
State College is one of the most magical, amazing places
that that you could ever be in, and I'm just
proud to have been a part of it.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah, well listen, it's so magical there that Lee to
Lap accidentally put it as college station on the rundown,
So I just want to yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah, it's not college station. I do believe that's Texas.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
A and M.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I do believe that's Texas.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, come on, but no, that's awesome. That's awesome. That's uh,
that's cool to hear, and that seems like an awesome experience.
I would love to get out there. I've heard nothing
but good things. I'm glad that everybody's on the same
page and they're celebrating the Hall of Famer as they should.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
They're pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Stick City back is Stick City.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
The place it is.
Speaker 1 (16:01):

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and

up in about twenty minutes from now and another edition
(17:05):
of in case you missed it here on FSR SO
Lvar Arrington. The Dallas Cowboys, Yeah, are getting ready for
another season. This is another seas well not I mean,
who knows possibly.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Oh, I mean maybe literally, not not figuratively. Yeah, maybe figuratively,
not literally.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It could be. And the Dallas Cowboys who prepare themselves
for this season in a division where they've got two
other teams that made the playoffs last year, one of
which was in a Super Bowl and nearly won the
damn thing. Uh, they are getting ready for this next year.
There's been some changes there, They've added some pieces. Zeke
is gone. But Dak Prescott was speaking on local Dallas
(17:45):
radio on the ticket there and.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Was a local Dallas radio just just talking ticket.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Talking, you know, and it was very optimistic about the
Cowboys and what they've done over the past couple of years.
So let's take a listen to these Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
QB.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
All right, you're able to take now to twelve win
seasons over into this one and build. And the first
time in my career and staff felt like consecutive seasons
are building where going back to twenty one, we've been
able to be we built that year and then now
we can build again. And I think that's the best
real chance that you have of making it. You've got
to go give a noox, You've got to see what
it feels like in us. Having that now you feel
(18:18):
a lot more comfortable. You're excited about the details, the
changes that we've had on the offense and just the team,
and I'm looking forward to it with a lot of excitement.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now for the Cowboy fans and Cowboy haters out there,
this might come as a surprise. Only the Kansas City
Chiefs have more wins over the last two seasons than
the Dallas Cowboys. So to his point, back to back
twelve win seasons that puts you in rarefied air. The
problem is when you look at the teams that have
(18:47):
won the most over the past two years, there seems
to be a clear divide between the Cowboys and everybody
else because the company they keep in back to back
successful seasons are the Chiefs, who've got twenty six wins
over the last couple of years. Then you've got the Bills,
the Eagles, the forty nine Ers, and the Bengals. And
I don't know about you, LeVar Arrington, but it feels
(19:10):
like there's a clear difference between the Cowboys and the
rest of those teams. Those teams feel like legitimate Super
Bowl contenders, and the Cowboys feel like they need some
things to go their way in order to make it happen.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I think they all need some things to go their
way to make it happen. I think the NFC is,
as we've had in prior conversations. I think it's the
most vulnerable of divisions that exists. And or conference is
(19:41):
a conference the conference. I think the conference is just
up for grabs. We can say that it's Philadelphia is
to take and they have done everything the right way
to have you feeling this way. They have all the
same play pretty much in place. They've added new players.
(20:03):
They're they're on rookie contracts, so you have a little
bit of time before you have to think about what
you're gonna do with some of these guys that you
have on your team. But let's be clear here, they
took that major step forward last year. There's no real
established correlation that that Philadelphia will be this type of
(20:28):
team moving.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
On here on out.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
No one in the NFC has established that they are
a superpower. That you know, this is just what it is.
It's them and everyone else. They looked impressive. They had
a very very very productive year. They made it to
the super Bowl, could have won a could have won
the Super Bowl. They were very much in the game,
(20:52):
and that was against a very very very good Uh.
Some would say the best team in the NFL right
now out of the Kansas City Chiefs. So and not
to mention one of the greatest coaches to ever coach
in the National Football League. But outside of saying that
they look to be the best team in the NFC,
(21:17):
I don't think that you you can say definitively that
anyone has established that they are the beast within the conference.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Like if you go through the NFC North, who is it?
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean, I mean nobody, the juggernaut that is a
Detroit Lions.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Come on, nobody, nobody.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You mean to tell the NFL's opening up their season
with the Detroit Lions and you're going to disrespect them
and say they're not a legitimate team after you call
you called the Lions game. Two years ago, LeVar Arrington
did angeloney.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I had him when he was in high school.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Listen, I had that didn't sound right, Paul I coached
him at the under Armor I coached him. I coached
him in the under Armour All American Game. All right,
there we go, Because that did not sound right.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
You're wrong, man.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
You know you gotta think about things differently where I'm
sitting right now.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
You know you got word things properly.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
You're wrong, man.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You better wear you all the time. I do hope
you you want to say something like that.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
The part on the Players Club where Bernie Mack is
saying to the copa, you better wear your bulletproof vest
all day.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Oh dang.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Your fat mother. By the way, But those wondering that
the clip in the open where it says who she's
talking to like that talking to your ass? It's from
that Seats Club. So we always laugh about that.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
But yeah, but I just don't don't look at like
I look at A lot of teams have the opportunity
to take it and listen, what what what Dak Prescott
is saying is one hundred percent spot on. You know
what would be the best thing for the National Football
(23:19):
League to take place? Honestly on everything. And people may
like it, people may not like it. The best thing
that could ever happen to the NFL is if Dallas
actually lives up to the hype one of these years.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I agreed, totally agree, in fact, lives up to the hype,
gets to the Super Bowl and loses on a last
second field goal. That would that would that would make
everybody's day because Cowboy fans would be distraught and cowboy haters,
and there's plenty of them. You've been accused of being
one of those, Labar Arrington.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
I'm not a cowboy hater.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
They listen. I feel like I've been more optimistic on
the Cowboys than you and Brady Quinn have been over
the past couple Ye.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I'm just realistic, you know what I mean. I'm just
realistic And have we been No. I just I feel like, look,
if you want my true opinion, I feel like we've
seen the best of what Dallas, this group, this personnel
has to offer.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
This feels like the make or break year. This is
the one.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I just feel like we've seen. Yeah, but that's every
year we say that. It's every year we say that
for the Dallas Cowboys. Again, I will say this and
I repeat what Dak said in his in his SoundBite
that we played sound spot on at sound spot On.
I think it makes a ton of sense. And to
(24:37):
be that optimistic this year is probably the This is
probably the most feasible to feel that way and not
look at it and be like, Nope, you gotta deal
with the Rams, Nope, you gotta deal with the forty
nine ers, Nope, you gotta deal with Philly in your division.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Nope.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Can't do it like this is not I don't get
that feeling. So to feel so optimistic where And here's
the thing. We don't know what type of play caller
McCarthy is going to be for this team, but we
do know that he has a proven track record of
(25:20):
being successful in that role. So to me, maybe the
excitement of having that take place so far and what
that feels like, maybe Kellen Moore was holding them back.
Maybe that's what it was. Maybe there were elements of
what they had going on. I mean, they corrected it
(25:41):
with their defense in a matter of a year, Jonas.
They bring in dan Quinn and the defense becomes the
reason why this team was good.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
But if you think about it, before.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Dan Quinn came, it was the offense that was the
reason why Dallas was pretty competitive. Then all of a sudden,
the offense becomes the the liability and the defense becomes
the strong point. So if the offense has a way
of becoming an asset again and it's competing to be
the main asset of the team, then now you have
(26:12):
a balance, you have a healthy balance, because that defense
is going to be formidable, one hundred percent formidable. So
you can't just look at them and be like, ah, scrubs,
like oh this is Dallas. Like do I feel like
we've seen the best of this group? I said yes.
Could I one hundred percent be incorrect? I certainly could be.
(26:33):
And that's why you love the game. If prognosticators were
one hundred percent correct when they say what they say,
and there's one hundred percent all the time, what do
you need to watch for?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Oh, LeVar said they're going to suck. I'm not watching.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Let me tell you something. If I was right all
the time, I wouldn't be doing radio.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah here, that makes two of us.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
So that makes two of us, but not because of sports,
betting other things.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I would agree. I think that's why the NFC is
interesting because everything's up in the air.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I just.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I think if you're a Cowboys fan at a certain point,
you got to curb your expectations and just be like, Eh,
let's let's slow down. Why don't we baby steps? How
about you just get past the second round of the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
You know, it's like, oh yeah, like, hey, listen, world,
I'm Dak Prescott. Yeah, I appreciate y'all tuning in and
listening to the things I have to say at this
press conference. So what I really think about this is,
you know what, it would be really really nice for
us to have like a good regular season, like positive
regular season, and make it to the playoffs and then,
(27:36):
you know what, at least make it to the second round.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I would love for us to make it to the
second sea.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
That's the type of honesty we could use in the
world of sports.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
That's what if. That's what he's thinking and that's where
they end up.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
I just I think that he's shortchanging himself as a competitor.
You can't be an ultra competitor, the ultimate competitor saying yeah,
second round is good. I just want us to make
it to the same Hell, I was at a point
where I just wanted us to be above five hundred
when I was in the league. I'm not going out
(28:09):
in a press conference saying, hey, everybody, look, LeVar Arrington here, Look,
I just want to be realistic with you guys, our fans,
the media. We just want to make it to five hundred,
and then you know what, at some point if we
could actually get above five hundred, that would be amazing.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Like what did this man just say?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
That's some great honesty right there?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Though?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
That's b s And everybody listening is like, he's a loser.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
What an average guy?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, but I also feel like, you know, if you're
a Cowboy fan as the season approaches, you know, having
all this speculation about whether or not they're a contender
or they can follow up back to back twelve win seasons,
it just feels like that would generate a little bit
of heartburn for me. I mean, I'm just speaking for myself.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Hey, you know what's crazy about that?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Before I get to this prolesack read, because you do
need some prolisak when you deal with with what's going
on in Dallas, because they can't give you heartburn because
you believe in them. But I would ultimately say that
when you look at the make of this team and
the make of the NFC and even the NFC East,
(29:19):
you're looking at a team that has the potential of
you not having to take those chewy choky and assets
all day because they got a chance to win and
you know what, if for some unforeseen reason they live
up to the potential, then you don't have to worry
about that heartburn. But if for some strange reason they
(29:40):
are who we thought they are and they do end
up letting you down, then you'll want to try prolisak
OTC and with just one pill each morning, you're prepared
to be a Cowboys fan. You can experience a full
twenty four hours of zero heartburn when they let you down.
So it's possible you could take prowlysak OTC and be
(30:02):
a Dallas Cowboys fan. All right, Users directed, make sure
you try to get fourteen days in before you watch
Dallas content, Okay, because it's not for immediate relief, all right,
you gotta get fourteen days in, So get started on
OTC right now, and then once.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
You get to the season, you already be set. Yeah,
you don't have to worry about it. Great point, there
you go.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The great point It.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Is just figure out.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I let everybody know, man, you know his awo positive
way of approaching this.
Speaker 1 (30:35):

Speaker 9 (33:54):
I've found the commercial so not cours like MGD Miller
Genuine Dress.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Okay, Miller High Life.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah, that's why I was connected to that High Life campaign.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
By the way, how about MGD still rolling out those
vintage bottles with the labels, you know, like just like
a little throwback for you. Looks like, uh, it looks
like like Miller High Life at MGD or well whatever,
you know what I mean. Miller High Life rolls out
those vintage bottles and like it feels like you're on
the set of Edward Scissorhands. It's like something they would
(34:28):
they would drink while they were watching him cut some
of the planets. Yeah, yeah, good, nice, nice vintage beer.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Nice little throwback.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
All right, So what do we got guys in case?
Speaker 9 (34:47):
In case you miss this, and shame on you if
you did. Aaron Rodgers was a guest speaker at the
Psychedelic Science Conference.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
Yeah, drugs, baby, let me tell you how you get.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
To the sky.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Very interesting that you.
Speaker 9 (35:06):
Talked about the bond he's had with teammates and other
players around the league who've shared experiences with him, specifically
using ayahuasca. Also said that over one hundred athletes and
both football players, baseball players basketball players have reached out
to him since he's publicly come out about using psychedelics
in ayahuasca about their interest as well.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I mean, it doesn't surprise me, like the way he
talks about it here. Some people talk about their experience
of psychedelics and it changes them, like I know, like
Joe Rogan's talked about it. There's been a lot of
people who have said that it takes you to a
place to where all your inhibitions are let go. You
have to address all of your insecurities, all of that,
(35:47):
and then when you come back you're never the same afterwards.
Like it puts you in the right mindset. So not
surprising the Rogers would go this direction. I would just
wonder on one of his trips, like whether or not
he addressed the fact that, you know, he decided to
part ways with Olibya mon. I just want to know
whether that came up in the conversation while he was
time traveling on a Thus.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
That name.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Is very very Uh it catches your attention, Olivia.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
