The way tire buying should be back from State College.
How the hell we feel in air? Oh man, shoe?
(00:58):
I mean hold on second. We last caught up with
you Friday morning? Did it continue on? Did that train
keep rolling?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I'm coffee and water for at least a week, and
I mean big big gallons of water, you know back
back at it. This week, I was in the gym
in State College. I got my work. In fact, I
was in the training room every day too, getting treatment
on my shoulder. If you guys know, my shoulder's been
(01:32):
kind of jacked up, soft tissue injury.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
But yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yes, to answer your question, the short and quick of it,
it was, it got uglier. It got uglier, but I
was able to do up on game and we did
a hell of a show. I mean, our shows continue
to get better and better. It was a hell of
a show on Saturday, and then it got super ugly
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, I was gonna say, because when we when we
caught up with you, you guys are getting banged up
on weekdays. I can't even imagine what the week and
must sage it was, especially with like all those legends
in town. Yeah, one last time, we were.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Our own party. We were our own party, Like it
didn't even matter about like anybody else being around. We
literally were our own party and that's what we did.
And and you know, Kei, Johnna and OJ are notorious partiers. Yeah, notorious.
(02:35):
They were like they're really close. It's pretty cool because
they're still really close to this day.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
By the way, Ke Johanna Carter and OJ McDuffie for
those of you yeah newbies out there, look them up.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, yeah, they go hard man, And they don't. They
don't let you. They don't. They don't allow for you to,
like I want to be great in life. They don't
allow for you to be great. For you to be great, wait, wait,
what do you mean? Yeah, they don't allow.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh, you got stuff to do tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's like I got things to do, man, Like No.
And then and then you realize, as old as you've
you you got, you're never gonna get old enough.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm never going to live enough life to not get
scrubbed by the old. Like I'm an og. They're more
og than me. So those are my those those are
my elders, you know. And they they they carry it
that way. And sometimes you get so far removed you
(03:44):
forget what it is to get scrubbed, and you know.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I still respect it. You got to always respect it,
you know.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And that's that's the beauty of it is. They didn't
want me to be great, and I had to go
ahead and not be great. It's like an older brother,
it's like an older brother. But you're always the younger brother.
Never stopped.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're always the younger brother.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It doesn't matter what happened. That's correct. You can't live
enough life, you can't outlive it. So yeah, it was
great though, it was great. It was it was an awesome,
awesome time. So I'm still recovering. It's still recovering from it.
And you know, it is what it is, so uh,
you know it is what it is, man. But but
(04:25):
the good thing about it is is that you know
I'm back.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, you're back. Yeah, I'm back. Lat's back. Yeah, Lat's back.
And uh, listen, by the way, Brady quinn is is
going to be back. So let's go ahead and get
that out of the way here, our daily continuance of that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I think everybody thinks it's like this is like an ongoing,
like it's a joke.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, Like, let me just be clear here.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
If Brady was off this show, we would say Brady
was off the show, Like I don't I don't feel
like like if you didn't notice about radio, the show
goes on, like no matter who comes and who goes,
the show goes on. So there's not like some intricate
plot like we're trying to keep telling you guys that
(05:13):
Brady's coming back, so you'll keep listening to the show.
I would assume you're listening to the show because you're
listening to the show, whether you really like this show
or there's just whatever it is you got going on
in your life. It brought you to this point, in
this moment where you have this radio channel on, you're
listening to it, and you're being entertained. There's no reason
(05:36):
to have some type of intricate plot of Yeah, let's
trick our listeners by telling them Brady's going to be back,
like Brady really is going to be back, and nobody
is being cryptic or you know, deceptive about the whole
thing Brady has going on. What he has going on,
and when that comes to an end, he will be
(05:59):
back on the show.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And I'll tell you what, if people keep pushing their luck,
We'll just every day we'll make up a new lie
as to where he's at. I mean, and I'm will
do and I've got you know, full throttle on that.
I mean, I got you know enough in the chamber
that I can let everybody know a different way.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You do know that you handle multiple burner accounts. So
we're we're definitely.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I mean reckless accusation every one other week. I mean,
I won't keeping score.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's we're definitely. We're definitely aware of the fact that
you are more than capable of being able to manufacture some.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Are you trying to accuse me of the LeVar Islands account?
I mean that I have nothing to do with the
LeVar Islands account.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, whoever did it that should be kind of trademarked
and patented or maybe not patted it, but trademarked. How
about when I walked out of my house today a
sad note, I walked right into a skunk. I almost
was going to have to call in and tell you guys,
I'm not doing the goddamn show. I'm not doing this show. Yeah,
it was. It was too his tail was raised. I
(07:05):
came out the door, I said, I looked. I was like,
what is that as that trash? And I saw a
tail and I was like no, And I was in range.
If he would have if he would have fired, if
she would have fired whatever it was, if it would
have fired off, I would have been hit.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So how far can they spray? I don't know, but
it was close enough, ethan, can we look that up,
like how far a skunk sprays? Like I feel like
we got to get to the bottom of that. That's
important stuff here, because you're not. It's the second time
somebody's brought that up. There was somebody else who mentioned
maybe on Twitter, fifteen feet easy would have gotten you.
(07:47):
It would have been bad and you would had to
throw everything that you had on a way. It would
have been bad, and then a shower NonStop. No, I
would have had to bathe the tomato juice.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I would have went. I would have went right. I
would have went in. I would have sat out. First off,
I would have chased that. If I would have got sprayed,
I would have chased that little mother efforgot. At that point,
what's the difference. I'm going to Well, it would have
kept spraying me.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That's fine, You're gonna have to pay it anyway. Now,
I don't know. I might start throwing up. Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But I would have had I would have had to
have some retribution that that. That's that that skunk would
have got some work. I would have gave it some work.
I would have gave it. No, I wouldn't have had
time for tyr iron. I would have literally gone all
mammal mode. I would have gone on all fours and
I would have chased that booger down and I would
have gave him that work.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, so what are we thinking? Like a knife, like
an exact n no foot foot the ass. Yeah, but
it's not like I mean, the better story would be
a weapon involved. What are you thinking like?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
So you don't think that that you would get the
greatest satisfaction after getting sprayed by a skunk to catch
that skunk and kick it in here go, I would
love just just I just need you spray me. I
kick you. So I'm gonna run him down. I'm gonna
try my best to run him down because they don't
see him real fast. He rolled off it, he didn't
(09:10):
roll off fast.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
What about jumper cables to the car.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
It's just too much. I'm not trying to kill a fella.
I'm just trying to hurt him real bad. I want
to hear that, Okay, I.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Want to hear that.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I want to kick that gap dang skucker kick the
rest of the stink out his ass because you got
it on me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So pipe bombs out of the question.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, No, I'm not trying to. I wanted to feel
the pain, like I wanted to limp off like like
like like wheezing, like because I didn't kicked him in
his ribs so hard.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, what about like a row of fire crackers attached
to its tail.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Or or right near where it sprays, you like like firecracker.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Sp you know, just like see what he does with
that the spray hole, like to see what he does
with that. I might be I might be open to that,
you know, like there's I'm just saying there is there
are options. I might be open to that. Jonas you know,
wrap a piccolo pede around it and just light that
son of a bitch off. You know what would be interesting?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You know how like fire like travels with like hairspray
and stuff like that, Like it would be interesting if
you could torch it, Like if you could just like
light a match, like, oh, he's spraying at me, Like
light a match and then it just that the you know,
the flame goes right up its ass.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, like that like that's your fire.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's like that's your counter attack to a a a
skunk attack.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
It was close though, and I know I totally like
like hit a hard pin turn on us and what
we were doing. But I'm just sitting here thinking about it.
I smelled a skunk when I got closer into work
today and I was like, man, I can't even imagine
because I was totally unaware. I was totally unaware. Came
out the front door, bloom, shut the door, walk around
(11:01):
towards the back of my vehicle, and I'm like, right
up on the curb. He was on the curb. It
was it was no, it was it was like it
was close, like it was a close encounter. Like it
was like like from me to the chair behind you
is where that skunk was, and its tail was.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Up none chucks.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You think that I might have had enough em me
where I could neo the spray droplets coming out of
its ass, where I could like like.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Like didn't get touched. No, it would have gotten Yeah,
I think it would have gotten you just because you're
too tall, Like it just there's a lot of body
for it to hit. Yeah, So like that's one of
the disadvantage. I mean, could you imagine that skunk going
after Victor Wee Binyama? Oh? I mean would he smell
it where like an elevator going down different floor.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
He smell it where he's at, like on the floor
where where his head is with where he's smell fifteen
feet Yeah yeah, yeah, might get him.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, so I get him. Listen, But you're the second
person that I know that's brought up that a skunk
has been roaming around. So maybe those are like the
thing now because you know out here it was mountain
lions coyotes, and then you know one of those mountain
lions cided to play bumper cars on the freeway and.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
They did a march Florida and then Memorial service Coyotes yes,
bears yes, and now skunks yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
They're had.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I had a bear's ass up against my back door,
Like how long ago was that? Maybe like a couple
months ago, not that long ago? Had its ass up
against the door, Like, what's that? What is that a
bear's ass? Think about that? Yeah, that's a big old ass,
(12:58):
big old, big old ass up against the door.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Should have thrown some ones at it, toe what happens?
You know, I would love the smack of bears ass.
I'll pass on that.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I wonder what that would feel like, like, how solid
would it feel like? What noise. Would it make just
dense would it make a slap noise or would it
just be a dead sound like would it be dulled
or like what.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Would it sound like? But you'd be clowning it, so
it would get pissed off right away and turn around
just backhand you.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I think it would run away if you slap a
bears ass. Beers don't want smoke. They really don't. They'll
give it to you if they if they, you know,
depending on whatever the situation is, but they don't really
want smoke, they'll it'll run. Like I opened the door,
he ran away.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
He ran. Yeah, well I was like, get out of
that trash like ran. And you live in the great outdoors.
So you live in like a woodsy part of the
of California.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So on the mountain stuff, you got to keep in mind,
it's not really woodsy where I live. It's woodsy on
the mountain. And I live on a mountain. So you look,
it's like where I live, there's homes, but we're built
onto a mountain. So you got to drive up. You're
going up, literally up up, up, up up, and then
(14:15):
you look behind the house like and you look around
it and it is woodsy, but it's woodsy behind the homes.
It's not like I live in the woods. In the
home is like in the woods. It's like it's a
residential looking type place. It's just it's on a mountain.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You know, if you ever decided to come out of
your coffin during the day, you could probably you know,
come visit. You know, bring bring the kid, bring the
missus and come, you know, hang out and come visit.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You know. Reckless accusation number two of the show.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
That you don't ever come out of your coffin. I
don't sleep in a coffin. That's reckless. I didn't know.
I thought I thought that was always thought that was true.
I mean it's a tomb, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I don't think this. There's no put a little respect
on my on my pale name please. It's a two. Yeah,
that's what it is. Like the rock moot, you got
a lever for the rock. It's like like a candle
by the by the fireplace to open it up. It's

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Whereas what to get your stacho? Hey, Jerry b skirt skirt,
two pros and a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. You can listen
to this show as always on the iHeartRadio app. You
can find us on hundreds of affiliate It's all across
the country and wherever you are making us a part
of your Monday morning, we appreciate you doing so. We

The Tiraq dot com studios tyraq dot com will help

road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tirac dot com Tire the way tire buying should be.
That's right, ten thousand yep. It's a lot. That's a
(18:27):
lot tire Iraq. So that's out the tire rack. Yeah,
the fine folks at ty Iraq. So college football recruiting
to me is one of the more entertaining things in
all of sports. You went through it being recruited. All
I've gotten to hear are stories and you know, have
(18:47):
talked to people who have been through the process, and
it's basically the new like Nil and all that stuff,
Like a lot of this stuff was going on. It
just was sort of hush, like everybody sort of had
the understanding right that there was. Yeah, listen, people are
gonna maybe cut some corners and do some things to
(19:08):
try and steer a player in one direction or another
like that. That's that's the vibe that I've gotten and
talking to enough people that you know, Nil was there.
You know, you just couldn't really say it out loud.
Is that fair to say? Absolutely? You have to protect
you have to protect things, you know, truths, the value
(19:31):
of relationships, the integrity of relationships. Yes, so true. Yeah.
So the reason why I bring that up is because
Trent Dilfer, who is the new coach at uab Okay,
he uh had some strong words, you know, wanted to
flex a little bit. He was on the Rick and
Bubba University podcast a couple of days ago and was
(19:54):
talking about recruiting and now that he's at UAB and
obviously he had the very successful high school program in Tennessee,
but now he's gone on to college football and he's
now a brand new head coach. But he wanted to
let people know when it comes to the recruiting game,
he's not messing around.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
By the way, come try to get my guys, like
I dare you power fives. I got a pretty pretty
big platform that I can step on. And if I
find you in my kids dms, and if I find
you talking to high school coaches about.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
My kids, if you're in my roster, I'm gonna call
your out.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I'm gonna say it by name to the biggest voices
in television today, and it's gonna make Game Day, and
it's gonna make Sports Center. It's gonna make because, by
the way, those guys running Sports Center A still my friends.
That's right, I still got their sol Go ahead, I
dare you to jump into my roster.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So there's Trent Dilford. Let it sounds like a moron,
Come on, he's laying the law down.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I dare you like bruh, Okay, let me sit back up,
for I was in chill mode. But let me let
me sit up. I was just in state college, right,
And part of the reason why I was in state
college is because this whole sweeping phenomenon of what the
(21:15):
NIL has created for college athletics is crazy. Let's just
be clear here, if you think that it's just a coach.
First of all, let's look at it from this perspective,
because power fives are not only going after uabs, they're
going after other power fives. Then you're talking about disgruntled,
(21:41):
you know, spoiled ass players, so they don't want to
go through the process of making it back on the
field anymore. They're four star, five star guys. They'll if
they don't play immediately, they'll enter to transfer portal. More
often than not, when you're getting recruited out of high school,
when these kids are looking to jump into the transfer portals,
(22:03):
they're jumping into the transfer portals because they're already in
communication with a coach that recruited them out of high school.
So it's not about them jumping in your kids, DM
dumb ass. It's about your kids not liking you more
often than not, and reaching out to a coach that
(22:23):
recruited them.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
You can jump.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
There are thousands of players that are in the transfer
portal that will not get a place to go play.
They will not be they will not be picked up.
But for top players that are on other programs, if
they have the opportunity to be able to go to
another school, it's generally because they have a relationship with
(22:47):
a coach that's on the staff that was previous to.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
What's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
So it's not all about like everybody's turned this whole
thing into jumping into DMS and this, that and the
other recruiters have enough going on, especially Power five recruiters,
they have so much going on that generally, if you
check out these these twitters, I challenge you to go
on to Twitter. You can't message coaches anymore. You can't
(23:14):
message them. It's like the feature is disabled. You can't comment,
you can't, you can't you can't leave messages, like private
personal messages on their twitters. Because this whole thing has
gotten so crazy and out of hand. More often than not,
it's parents that are are trying to broker these situations
(23:35):
and create these opportunities. And I'm gonna tell you right now,
if if Trent Dilfer or any other guy has a
player that is showing tremendous ability and tremendous growth as
as as a football player on his team and is
showing the ability to to change games, he may get
(23:57):
he may get pinpointed.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
And and you know.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Why, because they know that these types of guys maybe
looking for another opportunity to play at a higher level.
And why wouldn't they be so to put that out there.
That's just like you're you're chest thumping for no reason.
It's a it's a chest stump for no reason. High
schools do it. High schools definitely do it. High schools
(24:23):
jump into players DMS player coaches get but hurt. They
start trying to call it out, Get out of my kids, DMS.
High school is is fairly in a lot of ways.
It's fairly different than college. It's fairly different in high school.
You're you're talking about you know, it's just it's just
(24:43):
different because you have you have recruiting in college.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You don't have recruit you have recruiting in high school.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But it's not supposed to be the way you're not
supposed to be able to get somebody to your school
through through uh influence like what is it called something
just in influence or whatever? Anyway, it makes absolutely very
little sense to be sitting there talking about You'll get
called out and you'll get like do you think that
(25:11):
power foul call? Like, oh, Nick Saban's in one of
your kids dms, Like no, dummy, Nick Saban, not even
Nick Saban's defensive coordinator or offensive coordinator, Like do you
realize that there are like people out here that are
professional recruiters, Like it's so sophisticated, and if you're not
(25:31):
as sophistic if you're no more sophisticated than that Trent,
you need to have somebody bring you up to speed
on what's going on, because there are people out here
that their entire job as just normal civilians walking around
in different places to find talent, and they deliver that
talent and they get paid for it, Like you don't.
(25:54):
They have no real affiliations, they're just recruiters, but they
don't they or scouts, they don't.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
They don't. You don't. They don't work for a school.
They don't have an affiliation. They could deliver a kid
and kids to several different schools. So the process of
how you get a kid and how you extract kids
and different things like that, it's not as simple as
being able to say, I'm going to call you out
(26:20):
for being in their inbox? Who who? Who are you
looking at? Who are you calling out?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
So if that kid is is about because here's the
thing with the transfer portal.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You don't have to tell your coach anything. You can.
You can what is it called dis roll or d
n roll. You can you can leave the school and
enter the transfer portal without even having to have a
conversation with your head coach anymore. So the rules have
changed so vastly in terms of transferring that the stuff
(26:53):
that they're talking about, man like please you know the part.
So when he's talking about I dare you to jump
in DMS, I dare you to. First of all, it
takes two to have a conversation, so it's not like,
you know, like like the idea that you're just gonna
like that's gonna stop any of this stuff from happening.
(27:13):
The other part of this, too, is if if you're
in a relationship and your better half comes home and
she's telling you or he's telling you a story about Hey,
so and so keeps hitting me up that keeps sliding
into my diet, into my DMS. I you know, I
can't tell what's going on here. I don't know why
this is happening. There are two questions you should ask.
Number one, who are they? And number two why would
(27:37):
they feel like it would be comfortable enough to jump
in those dms? Well, my third question would be what
did you say? Yes? Like that too? Yeah? And do
they have friends? But the whole like, the whole point,
The whole point is you can't like, you can't stop
people from having conversations. And if one of these players
is in practice and gets pissed off because Trent and
(27:59):
dill Or airs him out publicly or airs him out
and embarrasses him, and you and Brady Quinn have talked
about this, it's a different day and age to where
you can't coach players as hard as you used to
because they get their feelings hurt and then they're gonna
complain about it. Then they're gonna go to social media
or go vent somewhere to somebody, or want to go
home or want to transfer. Like if you're one of
(28:20):
these players and you're at UAB. Man, if Nick Saban
or somebody from Alabama hits you up at some point,
I'm not saying this would happen. I'm just going one
hundred percent like so the idea that all, well, you know,
I dare you to slide to my DMS. I'll just
go on national television man. Nick Saban got aired out
by Jimbo Fisher last year after he called him out
(28:42):
for nil and the first thing Jimbo Fisher did was
say I got dirt on you, and Nick Saban a
week and a half ago did the same thing again.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Hey bruh, you're not even playing in the ocean. You're
not even in an inground pool. You're not even in
an above ground pool. You're playing in like one of
them pools you go to Toys r US and you
get and then you fill it up with from your
hose water. That's the pool he's playing in UAB. Yeah,
(29:10):
my son loves this right.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Be clear, like, what, like.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Your first mistake is sitting there acting like that's a
big deal. Get your players, try to build your program
and do what you need to do. Because here's the thing. First,
mistake is sitting there talking about my players, like, hell,
you mean my players? What do you mean? This is
the nil era? What do you mean my players? Like
(29:36):
my players? You don't own them? Show me an ownership tag?
You own them? What you mean your players? Like you
on borrowed time, just like anybody else, just like Nick
saban Is and get his kids get recruited away, just
like smart his kids get recruited away. I watched plenty
(30:01):
of kids leaving to the portal from Penn State. It's
been a big topic of conversation. And for what it's worth,
it's the money that's talking.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It ain't the It ain't the coaches. Come here, you'll
get you'll we'll get you a Mercedes. We'll get you
We'll give you one hundred and fifty thousand in cash.
We'll do this.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Parents are seeing this, and the parents is like, you
ain't making no money here, like you at Ua be
child and you're you're bawling. You ain't making no money here.
So he better put his money where his mouth is
if you want to call him my players, and don't
come jumping in my players, dms and this and that
and the other, And.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
For what is worth for what is worth. Like, my
old thing is.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You're not going through my DMS coach, Like, you ain't
my daddy and you ain't my mama either, So who
exactly with your who are showing you their DMS? Now,
if you get a kid that's like he buys into that. Yeah,
that's my coach, and he wants to show you. Like
(31:09):
you said, you come home, I show you the DM yeah,
you know, and maybe they may even be using that
as like a negotiation ploy. Maybe that's you know, just
so you know, you know, they offer me options. I
got options. Yeah, you know, I get that. But I mean,
are you, like, are you really just trying to is
(31:30):
this a ploy? Are you just trying to bring a
You're at UAB, bro, You're at UAB.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
He went on, like he was saying that he's not
interested in any other jobs. He doesn't want to be
anywhere else, he can't care if he gets blackballed anywhere.
And it's like, look, all that is fine and well, like,
so let me throw a what if scenario at you
as a player, as somebody who was at the highest level,
Because you've talked about not being happy early on at
Penn State and.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
And looked and looked. I looked that pit I was
about to transfer.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So UAB is at Georgia this year in uh in
late September YEAP. So if you're a player and you're
kind of unhappy and you get to Georgia and you're
in Athens and you're looking around and you're going, damn,
this is the national champions this is the and maybe
(32:20):
like an assistant coach or somebody says, hey, you know,
you know, great game, I know you entertain. Yeah, like
like all of a sudden, you're just it almost like
I don't want to say it's a recruiting trip for Georgia,
but I just think the idea that you're going to
be able to keep that many players focused on just
UAB and not entertain or not look elsewhere, like.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
The culture naive, and that's and that's the thing, right,
And that's you know, I'm sitting here talking aggressive, but
I'm just saying I think it's silly to sit there
and say stuff like that because it's more of the
kids and the families than it is the universities. So
what what you should have said, what you should have
said is we're working to create an environment in a
(33:08):
place where the kids that decide to come play for
UA B want to play for UA B and want
to stay at UA B. That's what he should have said,
is ain't nobody like It's like is a is a
fly going to be able to bring a horse down?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Like?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That's that's the equivalent of Trent Dilfer saying what he said, like,
are you really you're going to be an irritant to
to a horse? You're not going to be a detriment.
You're not going to You're not a real danger. Trent
Dilfer is not a real danger. You're not Trent Dilfer
is not taking players that those schools would would get
(33:47):
out of high school. So even if you got a
commitment from one of these kids to go to UA B,
say you get a kid that says I'm going to
UA B they offered me, I'm gonna make a verbal commit.
If Trent Dilfer is saying that, that's my guy, and
don't you he's still fair game until he signs that
(34:09):
contract on signing day that says I am signed, sealed, delivered,
coming to play at UAB.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
You could bitch, moan.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Wine, complain all you like about somebody sliding in their
dem that player is still fair game until they sign
on national sign they can decommit.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And to your point, you can check DMS all you want.
What about a text message from a family member who
heard from a coach at Auburn who said, Hey, I
know things aren't going well at UAB. We'll keep you
in state. You know, what do you think about coming back? Like,
I just I just think the idea that you're going
to stop all of this and be this outspoken about it.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
You got way bigger issues naive like worry about coaching,
worry about coaching, and worry about Hey, how about this,
worry about coaching the guys that want to be there,
because those are the guys you're gonna win with. Those
are guys you're gonna win with, because you're never gonna
win that battle. You're making it about the other schools
and this, that and the other, and it's silly. You
(35:10):
gotta make it about your players, and you gotta make
it about the people and the families that want to
be a part of whatever it is that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
There are a lot of kids that don't get recruited. Hell,
my kid is and neither one of my kids are
like one is already out of school.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
He's at University of Delaware and he made a great
decision to go there, but Penn State didn't recruit him
as hard as they should have.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
My younger son, man Little LeVar, is a four and
a half star. He's a four star athlete recruit, and
he's still not being recruited by Penn State. That's my school.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
So the point I'm making is people don't come after
people don't come after.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Players all like that anyway.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
So it's so difficult to be recruited by major schools.
There's so much that goes into it, even if you
are highly touted and respected recruit prospect that's out there.
So it's just a it's a very very insanely outrageous
statement to go on a podcast he's trying to get
(36:13):
his fan base excited or something, because that's just it
makes no sense for you to even say that, because
that's that's a war. That's a war that's being that's
a ton of battles being fought on a ton of
different different levels and a ton of different places, and
everybody's in it. So for you, Trent, to think that
you're going to be at Ua B and Oh I'm gonna.
(36:36):
Oh you're saying that Nick Saban doesn't have more clout
with Game Day and and and the kickoff show. We're
gon we're gonna burn down Nick Saban because Trent deal
Ford called us and said one of his coaches were
in the DM. If you don't go sit your ass
in the corner with your five dollar ass for somebody
(36:58):
make change, You're you're ripping.

about Antonio Brown. He decided to go on Tyreek Hill's podcast, which,
(38:26):
by the way, we still got to get to the
bottom of what happened with Tyreek Hill. Did he or
did he not tell somebody I could buy you and
the boat at the marina after you slap somebody like
there's conflicting reports on all that.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
My god, I mean if he never said that, then
I totally expose myself for no reason. Right, well, I
gave my example.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I'm glad you finished that thought just now. Yeah, so
goh it because when you said, if you would have
just let it sit right there, yeah, people would have
been asking several questions like, what do you mean you
exposed yourself. Yeah, so at least we are about ab Yes,
that is true. Man, nothing is outside of the realm
of possibility. That is fair. Can we hear the Antonio
(39:09):
Brown yet again? For those that have missed it, this
is Antonio Brown's latest claim on the Tyreek Hill podcast
about what went wrong with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He
talked about Tom Brady, Alex Carrero giving him one hundred
thousand dollars to work on his body, him being banged up,
him walking out on the team because during the Jets game,
(39:30):
this was Antonio brown side of the.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Story about to play the Jets and this week I'm
really hurt, Like so I'm like taking pictures to the coach,
like coach man, we gonna win the super Bowl. Man,
I think I need to just take these last two
weeks at least, like recover up so I could give
you my best when we to the time that met
the most. We're here to win the Super Bowl. So
the coach's like, hey, man, we ain't resting. So Tom
called me like, yo this week man, the Jets man,
(39:53):
they sweet man, I'm gonna hit you with light ten
to twelve. So he gonna gass me up, so you
know me, that's all I need to hear, like, Yo,
you're gonna throw me the ball, just like me saying
like I got a new crib. These guys don't even care.
So now come playing the game. I'm hurt, like I'm
in my zoe super hurt. And it's like, yo, might
hurt myself more.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
And they're not.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
Really trying to put me in a good position, like
I'm not here to hurt myself. I'm here to help
you guys win. I mean, getting the ball, help you
move the chains, get in the zone. So right now,
we had a different time. Right now, you guys not
trying to see none of that. You guys are mixing
me with like he don't want to work with me.
I'm paying them. You don't want to throw me the ball,
and you're making me like I'm crazy. So it's like
I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Call you nobody here. So again that's Antonio Brown on
the Tyreek Khil podcast.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Can we go back to the beginning of the podcast
and just play the first part, like now, listen to
it right now, think to yourself. I sent texts saying
that I'm hurt during the week. Now he's talking about
being hurt, but then he says he talks to Tom
(40:56):
Brady and once Tom Brady gas thing might be like
all right, I'm gonna play check just listen, just listen first.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Part about to play the Jets and this week I'm
really hurt. Like so I'm like taking pictures to the coach, like, coach, man,
we're gonna win the Super Bowl. Man, I think I
need to just take these last two weeks at least
like recover up so I could give you my best
when we to the time that met the most that
we're here to win the Super Bowl. So the coach like, hey, man,
we ain't resting. So Tom called me like yo this
week man, the Jets, man, they sweet man, I'm gonna
(41:25):
hit you with like ten to twelve, so he gonna
gas me up, so you know me, that's all I
need to hear, Like, Yo, you're gonna throw me the ball,
just like me saying like I got a new crib.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Cut off right there. If you're gonna throw me the ball,
I'm good to go. But if you ain't gonna throw
me the ball, I need to rest up. Yeah, I'm hurt,
I can't play, give me two weeks, and I think,
but if you're gonna throw me ten balls, I get
out there and play.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
And I think there were incentives also in this contract
that it would have behooved him to go out there
and play and be productive. And if you're hurt, if
you're hurt to the point of where you got to
ask not to play for two weeks, that's not a
conversation that first of all, takes place via text.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
That's first and foremost. That's one thing. But then secondly,
if you're texting your coach and you're saying that, then
your medical staff isn't doing what they need to do, right.
I mean, that's gotta be one of the conclusions. If
your player is saying, yeah, I need two weeks, I
feel this way I'm hurt, Like I'm hurt. I'm not
(42:31):
out here to be hurt. But if you want to
throw me the ball ten times like I'm gonna go
out and I'm gonna play, it just sounds a little
It sounds a little curious to me. It sounds a
little off to me. It's hard to decipher where the
truth is and what it is that he's saying. And again,
(42:51):
when you're talking about receivers, the one thing that you
can say for certain you know about receivers is they
want the ball, and when they're not getting the ball,
they're upset. That's through. That's historically how receivers are. And
not all of them are like that, but a lot
of them. That's how they're wired, because that's just what it's.
It's they want the ball. You can never give me
(43:13):
what was Keishawn's book called, get me the damn ball?
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Like that?
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Yeah, you can never give a receiver the ball too
many times. So I just think that he was conflicted
with wanting. He probably truly wanted to. Nobody's ever going
to question that man's work ethic, oh no, And you're
not going to question his heart and his will to compete.
(43:39):
But what you will question is is his his way
of going about communicating, his way of handling frustration and
being a dependable teammate.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
That's what you will question.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
And I don't think anything that he said during Tarik
Hill's podcast would dispel anything about him being a horrible teammate, malcontent,
a diva. I just don't think and and and none
of it justify why he would leave the field the
(44:16):
way that he did. Like you created a scene after
they told you, oh, y'all calling me crazy?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Like, okay, so what is it? Like?
Speaker 3 (44:26):
You're you're going for crazy because they called you crazy?
You want to see crazy, I'm gonna be crazy. But
I think that the biggest point here that that has
been made, and I think you made it earlier, is
where's the self accountability?
Speaker 2 (44:40):
It's like his his lack of self awareness is mesmerizing.
I'm not saying this to be funny. I admire it
like I wish I had that. I wish I wish
every time I made a mistake I could I could
find something within me and buy into No. No, that
wasn't your fault, that was their fault. It was somebody
else's fault. You did every thing exactly the way you
(45:01):
should have. It was all them like I wish I
had that in me. I just don't, and he through
I had his entire career. That's been the approach, zero accountability,
no self awareness, everybody else's fault. He did also talk
about having to take tour it all. He called it
Batman fuel, so I know, I know, uh he was accurate.
(45:22):
At least he was accurate at all one thing. So
uh yeah. So the Batman fuel is is the the
factual statement of everything that Antonio Brown said in that podcast,
not just it's just it, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
It's said that you could have the type of career
that he had and be where he is now. And
it's it's a joke, it's comedic relief, or it's the
opposite end of the spectrum. It's just very very concerning.
Like you can either look at it and me, I
(46:02):
tend to look at it from the standpoint of he
shows all of the behavioral traits and the tendencies of
someone who could hurt themselves, who could could potentially do
something to end their own life, Like those are the
things you see him to me exercising, and that that
(46:25):
is horribly concerning because again, for him to be that disconnected,
for him to kind of speak the way that he's speaking,
I don't I don't find that to be intelligence at play.
I find it to be someone who is who is
searching for for seeking attention and he's doing things because
(46:50):
it's almost like everything is spiraling out of control and
it's spiraling so fast that you can't you just you
can't handle it. And then you'll sit back and we'll
look back on all of these interviews and we'll say
you can clearly hear that he needed help. You could
clearly hear that he was was not in a good space.
(47:15):
And to me, that's what's most concerning. And when you
look at it from the opposite end of it makes
his career seem like it's like it's a joke, Like
how's this guy taken seriously? It just it just seems
to me, for as brilliant as a career as he had,
for him to be where he's at right now, something
(47:38):
has to be wrong. Something is not right. And that
doesn't mean being brilliant at playing football means that you're
you're a dope person. There's been people that aren't good,
people that have had brilliant football careers, but just hearing
the way that he speaks and hearing the things that
he says, I don't know. Oh man, it just sounds
(48:02):
it sounds as though there is a mental health element
to this that I hope somebody is. And if I'm wrong,
then let me be wrong. Because professionals, professionals said that
he's good, this is just who he is. I'd rather
(48:25):
hear that than to not hear that at all. And
then eventually something bad happens and it's like, man, we
were saying that all alone.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
At some point, though you can try, and I think
multiple times in his career, people have tried to help
step in, guide him, you know, have his back. I
mean a bunch of times. Look, I would love to know.
I don't think Mike Tomla would ever talk about this,
but I would love to know how much of a
(48:58):
pain in the ass he was to deal with Witzburgh,
because they did a damn good job keeping it under
wraps until they couldn't do it anymore. And it was like,
all right, guys showed up in a mink coat on
the sideline and just left at halftime and then gets
you know, doesn't want to play for Buffalo. They tried
to pull off a trade, doesn't want to play for Buffalo,
goes to the Raiders. That whole thing was a mess.
(49:20):
The cryo chamber, it played out on hard knocks, It
was great for HBO. Then he leaves there, you know,
the Patriots get him. He plays well in his one game,
then there's you know, an accusation against him for you know,
sexual battery or assault, and so they have to cut
him and then he go. There's just there's been so
many times where people have tried to step in and
(49:41):
have his bag that at some point you either have
to help yourself or it just is what it is.
And I think people are at the point they were like, dude,
he's going to do what he does and there's nothing
we can really do that.
Speaker 3 (49:51):
Sometimes that's how it plays out. Sometimes that's how it
plays out. I'm hoping and wishing the best for him, honestly,
if it is something that is related to mental health,
but if it's not mental health related and this is
just how he's he's handling things, then you know it's
just kind of like, well, maybe he's trying to be
as outrageous as he can possibly be to continue to
(50:14):
keep the tension on him and keep a spotlight of
sorts on him and what he's doing. And we all
know that influence in these days and age leads to monetization,
and if he can continue to have people, you know,
paying attention to his antics, he can use that to
his advantage to monetize himself.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Bidding it booming.
Speaker 3 (50:36):
I mean, if bidding it booming in that regard, then
I guess more power to them. But if that's if
these are the things that you have to resort to
in order to be able to have biddit booming, then
I guess to each his own.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
It's two pros and a cup of Joe. Here on

How the hell we feel in air? Oh man, shoe?
(00:58):
I mean hold on second. We last caught up with
you Friday morning? Did it continue on? Did that train
keep rolling?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I'm coffee and water for at least a week, and
I mean big big gallons of water, you know back
back at it. This week, I was in the gym
in State College. I got my work. In fact, I
was in the training room every day too, getting treatment
on my shoulder. If you guys know, my shoulder's been
(01:32):
kind of jacked up, soft tissue injury.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
But yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yes, to answer your question, the short and quick of it,
it was, it got uglier. It got uglier, but I
was able to do up on game and we did
a hell of a show. I mean, our shows continue
to get better and better. It was a hell of
a show on Saturday, and then it got super ugly
on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, I was gonna say, because when we when we
caught up with you, you guys are getting banged up
on weekdays. I can't even imagine what the week and
must sage it was, especially with like all those legends
in town. Yeah, one last time, we were.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Our own party. We were our own party, Like it
didn't even matter about like anybody else being around. We
literally were our own party and that's what we did.
And and you know, Kei, Johnna and OJ are notorious partiers. Yeah, notorious.
(02:35):
They were like they're really close. It's pretty cool because
they're still really close to this day.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
By the way, Ke Johanna Carter and OJ McDuffie for
those of you yeah newbies out there, look them up.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, yeah, they go hard man, And they don't. They
don't let you. They don't. They don't allow for you to,
like I want to be great in life. They don't
allow for you to be great. For you to be great, wait, wait,
what do you mean? Yeah, they don't allow.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh, you got stuff to do tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
It's like I got things to do, man, Like No.
And then and then you realize, as old as you've
you you got, you're never gonna get old enough.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I'm never going to live enough life to not get
scrubbed by the old. Like I'm an og. They're more
og than me. So those are my those those are
my elders, you know. And they they they carry it
that way. And sometimes you get so far removed you
(03:44):
forget what it is to get scrubbed, and you know.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I still respect it. You got to always respect it,
you know.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And that's that's the beauty of it is. They didn't
want me to be great, and I had to go
ahead and not be great. It's like an older brother,
it's like an older brother. But you're always the younger brother.
Never stopped.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You're always the younger brother.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It doesn't matter what happened. That's correct. You can't live
enough life, you can't outlive it. So yeah, it was
great though, it was great. It was it was an awesome,
awesome time. So I'm still recovering. It's still recovering from it.
And you know, it is what it is, so uh,
you know it is what it is, man. But but
(04:25):
the good thing about it is is that you know
I'm back.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, you're back. Yeah, I'm back. Lat's back. Yeah, Lat's back.
And uh, listen, by the way, Brady quinn is is
going to be back. So let's go ahead and get
that out of the way here, our daily continuance of that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I think everybody thinks it's like this is like an ongoing,
like it's a joke.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, Like, let me just be clear here.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
If Brady was off this show, we would say Brady
was off the show, Like I don't I don't feel
like like if you didn't notice about radio, the show
goes on, like no matter who comes and who goes,
the show goes on. So there's not like some intricate
plot like we're trying to keep telling you guys that
(05:13):
Brady's coming back, so you'll keep listening to the show.
I would assume you're listening to the show because you're
listening to the show, whether you really like this show
or there's just whatever it is you got going on
in your life. It brought you to this point, in
this moment where you have this radio channel on, you're
listening to it, and you're being entertained. There's no reason
(05:36):
to have some type of intricate plot of Yeah, let's
trick our listeners by telling them Brady's going to be back,
like Brady really is going to be back, and nobody
is being cryptic or you know, deceptive about the whole
thing Brady has going on. What he has going on,
and when that comes to an end, he will be
(05:59):
back on the show.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And I'll tell you what, if people keep pushing their luck,
We'll just every day we'll make up a new lie
as to where he's at. I mean, and I'm will
do and I've got you know, full throttle on that.
I mean, I got you know enough in the chamber
that I can let everybody know a different way.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You do know that you handle multiple burner accounts. So
we're we're definitely.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I mean reckless accusation every one other week. I mean,
I won't keeping score.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's we're definitely. We're definitely aware of the fact that
you are more than capable of being able to manufacture some.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Are you trying to accuse me of the LeVar Islands account?
I mean that I have nothing to do with the
LeVar Islands account.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, whoever did it that should be kind of trademarked
and patented or maybe not patted it, but trademarked. How
about when I walked out of my house today a
sad note, I walked right into a skunk. I almost
was going to have to call in and tell you guys,
I'm not doing the goddamn show. I'm not doing this show. Yeah,
it was. It was too his tail was raised. I
(07:05):
came out the door, I said, I looked. I was like,
what is that as that trash? And I saw a
tail and I was like no, And I was in range.
If he would have if he would have fired, if
she would have fired whatever it was, if it would
have fired off, I would have been hit.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So how far can they spray? I don't know, but
it was close enough, ethan, can we look that up,
like how far a skunk sprays? Like I feel like
we got to get to the bottom of that. That's
important stuff here, because you're not. It's the second time
somebody's brought that up. There was somebody else who mentioned
maybe on Twitter, fifteen feet easy would have gotten you.
(07:47):
It would have been bad and you would had to
throw everything that you had on a way. It would
have been bad, and then a shower NonStop. No, I
would have had to bathe the tomato juice.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I would have went. I would have went right. I
would have went in. I would have sat out. First off,
I would have chased that. If I would have got sprayed,
I would have chased that little mother efforgot. At that point,
what's the difference. I'm going to Well, it would have
kept spraying me.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That's fine, You're gonna have to pay it anyway. Now,
I don't know. I might start throwing up. Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But I would have had I would have had to
have some retribution that that. That's that that skunk would
have got some work. I would have gave it some work.
I would have gave it. No, I wouldn't have had
time for tyr iron. I would have literally gone all
mammal mode. I would have gone on all fours and
I would have chased that booger down and I would
have gave him that work.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, so what are we thinking? Like a knife, like
an exact n no foot foot the ass. Yeah, but
it's not like I mean, the better story would be
a weapon involved. What are you thinking like?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
So you don't think that that you would get the
greatest satisfaction after getting sprayed by a skunk to catch
that skunk and kick it in here go, I would
love just just I just need you spray me. I
kick you. So I'm gonna run him down. I'm gonna
try my best to run him down because they don't
see him real fast. He rolled off it, he didn't
(09:10):
roll off fast.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
What about jumper cables to the car.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
It's just too much. I'm not trying to kill a fella.
I'm just trying to hurt him real bad. I want
to hear that, Okay, I.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Want to hear that.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I want to kick that gap dang skucker kick the
rest of the stink out his ass because you got
it on me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So pipe bombs out of the question.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, No, I'm not trying to. I wanted to feel
the pain, like I wanted to limp off like like
like like wheezing, like because I didn't kicked him in
his ribs so hard.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, what about like a row of fire crackers attached
to its tail.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Or or right near where it sprays, you like like firecracker.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Sp you know, just like see what he does with
that the spray hole, like to see what he does
with that. I might be I might be open to that,
you know, like there's I'm just saying there is there
are options. I might be open to that. Jonas you know,
wrap a piccolo pede around it and just light that
son of a bitch off. You know what would be interesting?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You know how like fire like travels with like hairspray
and stuff like that, Like it would be interesting if
you could torch it, Like if you could just like
light a match, like, oh, he's spraying at me, Like
light a match and then it just that the you know,
the flame goes right up its ass.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, like that like that's your fire.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
That's like that's your counter attack to a a a
skunk attack.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
It was close though, and I know I totally like
like hit a hard pin turn on us and what
we were doing. But I'm just sitting here thinking about it.
I smelled a skunk when I got closer into work
today and I was like, man, I can't even imagine
because I was totally unaware. I was totally unaware. Came
out the front door, bloom, shut the door, walk around
(11:01):
towards the back of my vehicle, and I'm like, right
up on the curb. He was on the curb. It
was it was no, it was it was like it
was close, like it was a close encounter. Like it
was like like from me to the chair behind you
is where that skunk was, and its tail was.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Up none chucks.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You think that I might have had enough em me
where I could neo the spray droplets coming out of
its ass, where I could like like.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Like didn't get touched. No, it would have gotten Yeah,
I think it would have gotten you just because you're
too tall, Like it just there's a lot of body
for it to hit. Yeah, So like that's one of
the disadvantage. I mean, could you imagine that skunk going
after Victor Wee Binyama? Oh? I mean would he smell
it where like an elevator going down different floor.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
He smell it where he's at, like on the floor
where where his head is with where he's smell fifteen
feet Yeah yeah, yeah, might get him.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, so I get him. Listen, But you're the second
person that I know that's brought up that a skunk
has been roaming around. So maybe those are like the
thing now because you know out here it was mountain
lions coyotes, and then you know one of those mountain
lions cided to play bumper cars on the freeway and.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
They did a march Florida and then Memorial service Coyotes yes,
bears yes, and now skunks yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
They're had.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I had a bear's ass up against my back door,
Like how long ago was that? Maybe like a couple
months ago, not that long ago? Had its ass up
against the door, Like, what's that? What is that a
bear's ass? Think about that? Yeah, that's a big old ass,
(12:58):
big old, big old ass up against the door.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Should have thrown some ones at it, toe what happens?
You know, I would love the smack of bears ass.
I'll pass on that.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I wonder what that would feel like, like, how solid
would it feel like? What noise. Would it make just
dense would it make a slap noise or would it
just be a dead sound like would it be dulled
or like what.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Would it sound like? But you'd be clowning it, so
it would get pissed off right away and turn around
just backhand you.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I think it would run away if you slap a
bears ass. Beers don't want smoke. They really don't. They'll
give it to you if they if they, you know,
depending on whatever the situation is, but they don't really
want smoke, they'll it'll run. Like I opened the door,
he ran away.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
He ran. Yeah, well I was like, get out of
that trash like ran. And you live in the great outdoors.
So you live in like a woodsy part of the
of California.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So on the mountain stuff, you got to keep in mind,
it's not really woodsy where I live. It's woodsy on
the mountain. And I live on a mountain. So you look,
it's like where I live, there's homes, but we're built
onto a mountain. So you got to drive up. You're
going up, literally up up, up, up up, and then
(14:15):
you look behind the house like and you look around
it and it is woodsy, but it's woodsy behind the homes.
It's not like I live in the woods. In the
home is like in the woods. It's like it's a
residential looking type place. It's just it's on a mountain.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You know, if you ever decided to come out of
your coffin during the day, you could probably you know,
come visit. You know, bring bring the kid, bring the
missus and come, you know, hang out and come visit.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You know. Reckless accusation number two of the show.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
That you don't ever come out of your coffin. I
don't sleep in a coffin. That's reckless. I didn't know.
I thought I thought that was always thought that was true.
I mean it's a tomb, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I don't think this. There's no put a little respect
on my on my pale name please. It's a two. Yeah,
that's what it is. Like the rock moot, you got
a lever for the rock. It's like like a candle
by the by the fireplace to open it up. It's
two pros and a company. Joe here on Fox Sports Radio.

That's right, ten thousand yep. It's a lot. That's a
(18:27):
lot tire Iraq. So that's out the tire rack. Yeah,
the fine folks at ty Iraq. So college football recruiting
to me is one of the more entertaining things in
all of sports. You went through it being recruited. All
I've gotten to hear are stories and you know, have
(18:47):
talked to people who have been through the process, and
it's basically the new like Nil and all that stuff,
Like a lot of this stuff was going on. It
just was sort of hush, like everybody sort of had
the understanding right that there was. Yeah, listen, people are
gonna maybe cut some corners and do some things to
(19:08):
try and steer a player in one direction or another
like that. That's that's the vibe that I've gotten and
talking to enough people that you know, Nil was there.
You know, you just couldn't really say it out loud.
Is that fair to say? Absolutely? You have to protect
you have to protect things, you know, truths, the value
(19:31):
of relationships, the integrity of relationships. Yes, so true. Yeah.
So the reason why I bring that up is because
Trent Dilfer, who is the new coach at uab Okay,
he uh had some strong words, you know, wanted to
flex a little bit. He was on the Rick and
Bubba University podcast a couple of days ago and was
(19:54):
talking about recruiting and now that he's at UAB and
obviously he had the very successful high school program in Tennessee,
but now he's gone on to college football and he's
now a brand new head coach. But he wanted to
let people know when it comes to the recruiting game,
he's not messing around.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
By the way, come try to get my guys, like
I dare you power fives. I got a pretty pretty
big platform that I can step on. And if I
find you in my kids dms, and if I find
you talking to high school coaches about.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
My kids, if you're in my roster, I'm gonna call
your out.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
I'm gonna say it by name to the biggest voices
in television today, and it's gonna make Game Day, and
it's gonna make Sports Center. It's gonna make because, by
the way, those guys running Sports Center A still my friends.
That's right, I still got their sol Go ahead, I
dare you to jump into my roster.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
So there's Trent Dilford. Let it sounds like a moron,
Come on, he's laying the law down.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I dare you like bruh, Okay, let me sit back up,
for I was in chill mode. But let me let
me sit up. I was just in state college, right,
And part of the reason why I was in state
college is because this whole sweeping phenomenon of what the
(21:15):
NIL has created for college athletics is crazy. Let's just
be clear here, if you think that it's just a coach.
First of all, let's look at it from this perspective,
because power fives are not only going after uabs, they're
going after other power fives. Then you're talking about disgruntled,
(21:41):
you know, spoiled ass players, so they don't want to
go through the process of making it back on the
field anymore. They're four star, five star guys. They'll if
they don't play immediately, they'll enter to transfer portal. More
often than not, when you're getting recruited out of high school,
when these kids are looking to jump into the transfer portals,
(22:03):
they're jumping into the transfer portals because they're already in
communication with a coach that recruited them out of high school.
So it's not about them jumping in your kids, DM
dumb ass. It's about your kids not liking you more
often than not, and reaching out to a coach that
(22:23):
recruited them.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
You can jump.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
There are thousands of players that are in the transfer
portal that will not get a place to go play.
They will not be they will not be picked up.
But for top players that are on other programs, if
they have the opportunity to be able to go to
another school, it's generally because they have a relationship with
(22:47):
a coach that's on the staff that was previous to.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
What's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
So it's not all about like everybody's turned this whole
thing into jumping into DMS and this, that and the
other recruiters have enough going on, especially Power five recruiters,
they have so much going on that generally, if you
check out these these twitters, I challenge you to go
on to Twitter. You can't message coaches anymore. You can't
(23:14):
message them. It's like the feature is disabled. You can't comment,
you can't, you can't you can't leave messages, like private
personal messages on their twitters. Because this whole thing has
gotten so crazy and out of hand. More often than not,
it's parents that are are trying to broker these situations
(23:35):
and create these opportunities. And I'm gonna tell you right now,
if if Trent Dilfer or any other guy has a
player that is showing tremendous ability and tremendous growth as
as as a football player on his team and is
showing the ability to to change games, he may get
(23:57):
he may get pinpointed.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
And and you know.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Why, because they know that these types of guys maybe
looking for another opportunity to play at a higher level.
And why wouldn't they be so to put that out there.
That's just like you're you're chest thumping for no reason.
It's a it's a chest stump for no reason. High
schools do it. High schools definitely do it. High schools
(24:23):
jump into players DMS player coaches get but hurt. They
start trying to call it out, Get out of my kids, DMS.
High school is is fairly in a lot of ways.
It's fairly different than college. It's fairly different in high school.
You're you're talking about you know, it's just it's just
(24:43):
different because you have you have recruiting in college.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You don't have recruit you have recruiting in high school.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But it's not supposed to be the way you're not
supposed to be able to get somebody to your school
through through uh influence like what is it called something
just in influence or whatever? Anyway, it makes absolutely very
little sense to be sitting there talking about You'll get
called out and you'll get like do you think that
(25:11):
power foul call? Like, oh, Nick Saban's in one of
your kids dms, Like no, dummy, Nick Saban, not even
Nick Saban's defensive coordinator or offensive coordinator, Like do you
realize that there are like people out here that are
professional recruiters, Like it's so sophisticated, and if you're not
(25:31):
as sophistic if you're no more sophisticated than that Trent,
you need to have somebody bring you up to speed
on what's going on, because there are people out here
that their entire job as just normal civilians walking around
in different places to find talent, and they deliver that
talent and they get paid for it, Like you don't.
(25:54):
They have no real affiliations, they're just recruiters, but they
don't they or scouts, they don't.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
They don't. You don't. They don't work for a school.
They don't have an affiliation. They could deliver a kid
and kids to several different schools. So the process of
how you get a kid and how you extract kids
and different things like that, it's not as simple as
being able to say, I'm going to call you out
(26:20):
for being in their inbox? Who who? Who are you
looking at? Who are you calling out?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
So if that kid is is about because here's the
thing with the transfer portal.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You don't have to tell your coach anything. You can.
You can what is it called dis roll or d
n roll. You can you can leave the school and
enter the transfer portal without even having to have a
conversation with your head coach anymore. So the rules have
changed so vastly in terms of transferring that the stuff
(26:53):
that they're talking about, man like please you know the part.
So when he's talking about I dare you to jump
in DMS, I dare you to. First of all, it
takes two to have a conversation, so it's not like,
you know, like like the idea that you're just gonna
like that's gonna stop any of this stuff from happening.
(27:13):
The other part of this, too, is if if you're
in a relationship and your better half comes home and
she's telling you or he's telling you a story about Hey,
so and so keeps hitting me up that keeps sliding
into my diet, into my DMS. I you know, I
can't tell what's going on here. I don't know why
this is happening. There are two questions you should ask.
Number one, who are they? And number two why would
(27:37):
they feel like it would be comfortable enough to jump
in those dms? Well, my third question would be what
did you say? Yes? Like that too? Yeah? And do
they have friends? But the whole like, the whole point,
The whole point is you can't like, you can't stop
people from having conversations. And if one of these players
is in practice and gets pissed off because Trent and
(27:59):
dill Or airs him out publicly or airs him out
and embarrasses him, and you and Brady Quinn have talked
about this, it's a different day and age to where
you can't coach players as hard as you used to
because they get their feelings hurt and then they're gonna
complain about it. Then they're gonna go to social media
or go vent somewhere to somebody, or want to go
home or want to transfer. Like if you're one of
(28:20):
these players and you're at UAB. Man, if Nick Saban
or somebody from Alabama hits you up at some point,
I'm not saying this would happen. I'm just going one
hundred percent like so the idea that all, well, you know,
I dare you to slide to my DMS. I'll just
go on national television man. Nick Saban got aired out
by Jimbo Fisher last year after he called him out
(28:42):
for nil and the first thing Jimbo Fisher did was
say I got dirt on you, and Nick Saban a
week and a half ago did the same thing again.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Hey bruh, you're not even playing in the ocean. You're
not even in an inground pool. You're not even in
an above ground pool. You're playing in like one of
them pools you go to Toys r US and you
get and then you fill it up with from your
hose water. That's the pool he's playing in UAB. Yeah,
(29:10):
my son loves this right.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Be clear, like, what, like.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Your first mistake is sitting there acting like that's a
big deal. Get your players, try to build your program
and do what you need to do. Because here's the thing. First,
mistake is sitting there talking about my players, like, hell,
you mean my players? What do you mean? This is
the nil era? What do you mean my players? Like
(29:36):
my players? You don't own them? Show me an ownership tag?
You own them? What you mean your players? Like you
on borrowed time, just like anybody else, just like Nick
saban Is and get his kids get recruited away, just
like smart his kids get recruited away. I watched plenty
(30:01):
of kids leaving to the portal from Penn State. It's
been a big topic of conversation. And for what it's worth,
it's the money that's talking.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It ain't the It ain't the coaches. Come here, you'll
get you'll we'll get you a Mercedes. We'll get you
We'll give you one hundred and fifty thousand in cash.
We'll do this.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Parents are seeing this, and the parents is like, you
ain't making no money here, like you at Ua be
child and you're you're bawling. You ain't making no money here.
So he better put his money where his mouth is
if you want to call him my players, and don't
come jumping in my players, dms and this and that
and the other, And.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
For what is worth for what is worth. Like, my
old thing is.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
You're not going through my DMS coach, Like, you ain't
my daddy and you ain't my mama either, So who
exactly with your who are showing you their DMS? Now,
if you get a kid that's like he buys into that. Yeah,
that's my coach, and he wants to show you. Like
(31:09):
you said, you come home, I show you the DM yeah,
you know, and maybe they may even be using that
as like a negotiation ploy. Maybe that's you know, just
so you know, you know, they offer me options. I
got options. Yeah, you know, I get that. But I mean,
are you, like, are you really just trying to is
(31:30):
this a ploy? Are you just trying to bring a
You're at UAB, bro, You're at UAB.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
He went on, like he was saying that he's not
interested in any other jobs. He doesn't want to be
anywhere else, he can't care if he gets blackballed anywhere.
And it's like, look, all that is fine and well, like,
so let me throw a what if scenario at you
as a player, as somebody who was at the highest level,
Because you've talked about not being happy early on at
Penn State and.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
And looked and looked. I looked that pit I was
about to transfer.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So UAB is at Georgia this year in uh in
late September YEAP. So if you're a player and you're
kind of unhappy and you get to Georgia and you're
in Athens and you're looking around and you're going, damn,
this is the national champions this is the and maybe
(32:20):
like an assistant coach or somebody says, hey, you know,
you know, great game, I know you entertain. Yeah, like
like all of a sudden, you're just it almost like
I don't want to say it's a recruiting trip for Georgia,
but I just think the idea that you're going to
be able to keep that many players focused on just
UAB and not entertain or not look elsewhere, like.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
The culture naive, and that's and that's the thing, right,
And that's you know, I'm sitting here talking aggressive, but
I'm just saying I think it's silly to sit there
and say stuff like that because it's more of the
kids and the families than it is the universities. So
what what you should have said, what you should have
said is we're working to create an environment in a
(33:08):
place where the kids that decide to come play for
UA B want to play for UA B and want
to stay at UA B. That's what he should have said,
is ain't nobody like It's like is a is a
fly going to be able to bring a horse down?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Like?
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That's that's the equivalent of Trent Dilfer saying what he said, like,
are you really you're going to be an irritant to
to a horse? You're not going to be a detriment.
You're not going to You're not a real danger. Trent
Dilfer is not a real danger. You're not Trent Dilfer
is not taking players that those schools would would get
(33:47):
out of high school. So even if you got a
commitment from one of these kids to go to UA B,
say you get a kid that says I'm going to
UA B they offered me, I'm gonna make a verbal commit.
If Trent Dilfer is saying that, that's my guy, and
don't you he's still fair game until he signs that
(34:09):
contract on signing day that says I am signed, sealed, delivered,
coming to play at UAB.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
You could bitch, moan.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Wine, complain all you like about somebody sliding in their
dem that player is still fair game until they sign
on national sign they can decommit.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And to your point, you can check DMS all you want.
What about a text message from a family member who
heard from a coach at Auburn who said, Hey, I
know things aren't going well at UAB. We'll keep you
in state. You know, what do you think about coming back? Like,
I just I just think the idea that you're going
to stop all of this and be this outspoken about it.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
You got way bigger issues naive like worry about coaching,
worry about coaching, and worry about Hey, how about this,
worry about coaching the guys that want to be there,
because those are the guys you're gonna win with. Those
are guys you're gonna win with, because you're never gonna
win that battle. You're making it about the other schools
and this, that and the other, and it's silly. You
(35:10):
gotta make it about your players, and you gotta make
it about the people and the families that want to
be a part of whatever it is that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
There are a lot of kids that don't get recruited. Hell,
my kid is and neither one of my kids are
like one is already out of school.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
He's at University of Delaware and he made a great
decision to go there, but Penn State didn't recruit him
as hard as they should have.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
My younger son, man Little LeVar, is a four and
a half star. He's a four star athlete recruit, and
he's still not being recruited by Penn State. That's my school.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
So the point I'm making is people don't come after
people don't come after.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Players all like that anyway.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
So it's so difficult to be recruited by major schools.
There's so much that goes into it, even if you
are highly touted and respected recruit prospect that's out there.
So it's just a it's a very very insanely outrageous
statement to go on a podcast he's trying to get
(36:13):
his fan base excited or something, because that's just it
makes no sense for you to even say that, because
that's that's a war. That's a war that's being that's
a ton of battles being fought on a ton of
different different levels and a ton of different places, and
everybody's in it. So for you, Trent, to think that
you're going to be at Ua B and Oh I'm gonna.
(36:36):
Oh you're saying that Nick Saban doesn't have more clout
with Game Day and and and the kickoff show. We're
gon we're gonna burn down Nick Saban because Trent deal
Ford called us and said one of his coaches were
in the DM. If you don't go sit your ass
in the corner with your five dollar ass for somebody
(36:58):
make change, You're you're ripping.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
You're tripping. Coach your team. It's Two Pros and a

should be. So we were talking earlier in the show
about Antonio Brown. He decided to go on Tyreek Hill's podcast, which,
(38:26):
by the way, we still got to get to the
bottom of what happened with Tyreek Hill. Did he or
did he not tell somebody I could buy you and
the boat at the marina after you slap somebody like
there's conflicting reports on all that.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
My god, I mean if he never said that, then
I totally expose myself for no reason. Right, well, I
gave my example.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I'm glad you finished that thought just now. Yeah, so
goh it because when you said, if you would have
just let it sit right there, yeah, people would have
been asking several questions like, what do you mean you
exposed yourself. Yeah, so at least we are about ab Yes,
that is true. Man, nothing is outside of the realm
of possibility. That is fair. Can we hear the Antonio
(39:09):
Brown yet again? For those that have missed it, this
is Antonio Brown's latest claim on the Tyreek Hill podcast
about what went wrong with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He
talked about Tom Brady, Alex Carrero giving him one hundred
thousand dollars to work on his body, him being banged up,
him walking out on the team because during the Jets game,
(39:30):
this was Antonio brown side of the.
Speaker 7 (39:31):
Story about to play the Jets and this week I'm
really hurt, Like so I'm like taking pictures to the coach,
like coach man, we gonna win the super Bowl. Man,
I think I need to just take these last two
weeks at least, like recover up so I could give
you my best when we to the time that met
the most. We're here to win the Super Bowl. So
the coach's like, hey, man, we ain't resting. So Tom
called me like, yo this week man, the Jets man,
(39:53):
they sweet man, I'm gonna hit you with light ten
to twelve. So he gonna gass me up, so you
know me, that's all I need to hear, like, Yo,
you're gonna throw me the ball, just like me saying
like I got a new crib. These guys don't even care.
So now come playing the game. I'm hurt, like I'm
in my zoe super hurt. And it's like, yo, might
hurt myself more.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
And they're not.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
Really trying to put me in a good position, like
I'm not here to hurt myself. I'm here to help
you guys win. I mean, getting the ball, help you
move the chains, get in the zone. So right now,
we had a different time. Right now, you guys not
trying to see none of that. You guys are mixing
me with like he don't want to work with me.
I'm paying them. You don't want to throw me the ball,
and you're making me like I'm crazy. So it's like
I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Call you nobody here. So again that's Antonio Brown on
the Tyreek Khil podcast.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Can we go back to the beginning of the podcast
and just play the first part, like now, listen to
it right now, think to yourself. I sent texts saying
that I'm hurt during the week. Now he's talking about
being hurt, but then he says he talks to Tom
(40:56):
Brady and once Tom Brady gas thing might be like
all right, I'm gonna play check just listen, just listen first.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Part about to play the Jets and this week I'm
really hurt. Like so I'm like taking pictures to the coach, like, coach, man,
we're gonna win the Super Bowl. Man, I think I
need to just take these last two weeks at least
like recover up so I could give you my best
when we to the time that met the most that
we're here to win the Super Bowl. So the coach like, hey, man,
we ain't resting. So Tom called me like yo this
week man, the Jets, man, they sweet man, I'm gonna
(41:25):
hit you with like ten to twelve, so he gonna
gas me up, so you know me, that's all I
need to hear, Like, Yo, you're gonna throw me the ball,
just like me saying like I got a new crib.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Cut off right there. If you're gonna throw me the ball,
I'm good to go. But if you ain't gonna throw
me the ball, I need to rest up. Yeah, I'm hurt,
I can't play, give me two weeks, and I think,
but if you're gonna throw me ten balls, I get
out there and play.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
And I think there were incentives also in this contract
that it would have behooved him to go out there
and play and be productive. And if you're hurt, if
you're hurt to the point of where you got to
ask not to play for two weeks, that's not a
conversation that first of all, takes place via text.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
That's first and foremost. That's one thing. But then secondly,
if you're texting your coach and you're saying that, then
your medical staff isn't doing what they need to do, right.
I mean, that's gotta be one of the conclusions. If
your player is saying, yeah, I need two weeks, I
feel this way I'm hurt, Like I'm hurt. I'm not
(42:31):
out here to be hurt. But if you want to
throw me the ball ten times like I'm gonna go
out and I'm gonna play, it just sounds a little
It sounds a little curious to me. It sounds a
little off to me. It's hard to decipher where the
truth is and what it is that he's saying. And again,
(42:51):
when you're talking about receivers, the one thing that you
can say for certain you know about receivers is they
want the ball, and when they're not getting the ball,
they're upset. That's through. That's historically how receivers are. And
not all of them are like that, but a lot
of them. That's how they're wired, because that's just what it's.
It's they want the ball. You can never give me
(43:13):
what was Keishawn's book called, get me the damn ball?
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Like that?
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Yeah, you can never give a receiver the ball too
many times. So I just think that he was conflicted
with wanting. He probably truly wanted to. Nobody's ever going
to question that man's work ethic, oh no, And you're
not going to question his heart and his will to compete.
(43:39):
But what you will question is is his his way
of going about communicating, his way of handling frustration and
being a dependable teammate.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
That's what you will question.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
And I don't think anything that he said during Tarik
Hill's podcast would dispel anything about him being a horrible teammate, malcontent,
a diva. I just don't think and and and none
of it justify why he would leave the field the
(44:16):
way that he did. Like you created a scene after
they told you, oh, y'all calling me crazy?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Like, okay, so what is it? Like?
Speaker 3 (44:26):
You're you're going for crazy because they called you crazy?
You want to see crazy, I'm gonna be crazy. But
I think that the biggest point here that that has
been made, and I think you made it earlier, is
where's the self accountability?
Speaker 2 (44:40):
It's like his his lack of self awareness is mesmerizing.
I'm not saying this to be funny. I admire it
like I wish I had that. I wish I wish
every time I made a mistake I could I could
find something within me and buy into No. No, that
wasn't your fault, that was their fault. It was somebody
else's fault. You did every thing exactly the way you
(45:01):
should have. It was all them like I wish I
had that in me. I just don't, and he through
I had his entire career. That's been the approach, zero accountability,
no self awareness, everybody else's fault. He did also talk
about having to take tour it all. He called it
Batman fuel, so I know, I know, uh he was accurate.
(45:22):
At least he was accurate at all one thing. So
uh yeah. So the Batman fuel is is the the
factual statement of everything that Antonio Brown said in that podcast,
not just it's just it, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (45:39):
It's said that you could have the type of career
that he had and be where he is now. And
it's it's a joke, it's comedic relief, or it's the
opposite end of the spectrum. It's just very very concerning.
Like you can either look at it and me, I
(46:02):
tend to look at it from the standpoint of he
shows all of the behavioral traits and the tendencies of
someone who could hurt themselves, who could could potentially do
something to end their own life, Like those are the
things you see him to me exercising, and that that
(46:25):
is horribly concerning because again, for him to be that disconnected,
for him to kind of speak the way that he's speaking,
I don't I don't find that to be intelligence at play.
I find it to be someone who is who is
searching for for seeking attention and he's doing things because
(46:50):
it's almost like everything is spiraling out of control and
it's spiraling so fast that you can't you just you
can't handle it. And then you'll sit back and we'll
look back on all of these interviews and we'll say
you can clearly hear that he needed help. You could
clearly hear that he was was not in a good space.
(47:15):
And to me, that's what's most concerning. And when you
look at it from the opposite end of it makes
his career seem like it's like it's a joke, Like
how's this guy taken seriously? It just it just seems
to me, for as brilliant as a career as he had,
for him to be where he's at right now, something
(47:38):
has to be wrong. Something is not right. And that
doesn't mean being brilliant at playing football means that you're
you're a dope person. There's been people that aren't good,
people that have had brilliant football careers, but just hearing
the way that he speaks and hearing the things that
he says, I don't know. Oh man, it just sounds
(48:02):
it sounds as though there is a mental health element
to this that I hope somebody is. And if I'm wrong,
then let me be wrong. Because professionals, professionals said that
he's good, this is just who he is. I'd rather
(48:25):
hear that than to not hear that at all. And
then eventually something bad happens and it's like, man, we
were saying that all alone.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
At some point, though you can try, and I think
multiple times in his career, people have tried to help
step in, guide him, you know, have his back. I
mean a bunch of times. Look, I would love to know.
I don't think Mike Tomla would ever talk about this,
but I would love to know how much of a
(48:58):
pain in the ass he was to deal with Witzburgh,
because they did a damn good job keeping it under
wraps until they couldn't do it anymore. And it was like,
all right, guys showed up in a mink coat on
the sideline and just left at halftime and then gets
you know, doesn't want to play for Buffalo. They tried
to pull off a trade, doesn't want to play for Buffalo,
goes to the Raiders. That whole thing was a mess.
(49:20):
The cryo chamber, it played out on hard knocks, It
was great for HBO. Then he leaves there, you know,
the Patriots get him. He plays well in his one game,
then there's you know, an accusation against him for you know,
sexual battery or assault, and so they have to cut
him and then he go. There's just there's been so
many times where people have tried to step in and
(49:41):
have his bag that at some point you either have
to help yourself or it just is what it is.
And I think people are at the point they were like, dude,
he's going to do what he does and there's nothing
we can really do that.
Speaker 3 (49:51):
Sometimes that's how it plays out. Sometimes that's how it
plays out. I'm hoping and wishing the best for him, honestly,
if it is something that is related to mental health,
but if it's not mental health related and this is
just how he's he's handling things, then you know it's
just kind of like, well, maybe he's trying to be
as outrageous as he can possibly be to continue to
(50:14):
keep the tension on him and keep a spotlight of
sorts on him and what he's doing. And we all
know that influence in these days and age leads to monetization,
and if he can continue to have people, you know,
paying attention to his antics, he can use that to
his advantage to monetize himself.
Speaker 2 (50:35):
Bidding it booming.
Speaker 3 (50:36):
I mean, if bidding it booming in that regard, then
I guess more power to them. But if that's if
these are the things that you have to resort to
in order to be able to have biddit booming, then
I guess to each his own.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
