come on, are you guys fella?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I mean listen, I'm I'm doing what college football is
brought to us here.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I mean a lot of content. Huh.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, you remember when people would complain that, well, it's
the same teams at the end of every season. It's
it's kind of stale that you can just pencil on
Alabama and other sec man deonce Colorado pop up and
now you have people bitching a certain places. John, This
is great for the sport. The ratings are off the
charts another you know, ratings. They were the top game
(02:12):
this past weekend, Colorado Colorado State. You had people watching
until what like two in the morning on the East coast.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
You at two fifteen am, they still rated over eight
million viewers.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Wow, for a Colorado Colorado State game. I look fast.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I know I work like everyone's like, oh, you're your
bias towards college football, man.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
No, I work in both.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
And I would just say this, if you were a
TV network executive and you see when you're witnessing what
Prime's doing, and you obviously have a good feel for
what Texas and Alabama or Ohio State and Michigan or
Penn State and Michigan and Penn State and Ohio State,
you you have a field notre inname Ohio State, you
have a feel for all what those rate. Like Colorado
(03:00):
being added to the mix makes it one very compelling
as I just saw a word that Warren sapp apparently
he's going to join the staff next year in twenty
twenty four.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Oh wow. It becomes so compelling.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
That you kind of go, all right, maybe look at
this NFL stuff, Let's focus on this college football stuff too,
because there's a lot of meat on the bone, allowing
this to grow the storylines behind it, and people aren't
gonna like that, who are just NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Fans, But the numbers are proof of that.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
In looking at Dion so far and everything he's done,
I think his games have averaged like seven million viewers.
It's awesome, and they've peaked at I think last week
peaked at eleven, but they've been somewhere between like seven
million to eleven million viewers.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Hello, what's incredible track for? Well, you know, I want
to be real with you.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I don't know how long it's for, but I would
say this as long as Shadere who just transferred right
so he doesn't have the ability until he graduates to
transfer again, I think Dion's there at least as.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Long as Shador's there. Now.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Shadeur will have a chance to leave this year if
he wants to go to the NFL.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I think it just comes.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Down to, you know, then, what does Dion want to
do for a guy like Travis Hunter who transferred as well,
who isn't draft eligible and can't transfer again. So I
think he'll weigh all those considerations. So if you're getting
to how long do you think he'll be there. I
think he'll be there this year and next year. Then
after that's a big question mark because some of those
kids who've transferred will then have the chance to go
(04:31):
to the NFL. And at that point, some of them
may have graduated, so they'd have the chance to transfer
again if he wanted to go to a bigger school
that was willing to back up the brinkstruck for him.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
See, And that's that was why I asked. I wonder
if Colorado would rip up the contract and say, listen,
we know, we know you want to go to another.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
School, or they're trying. The problem is is like any
school can do that. What Colorado can offer from a
contract standpoint, anyone can do. The question then becomes what
can you provide outside of the contract. I had a
conversation with little lum who who thinks he can You know,
they can offer him this big contract, he's gonna stay.
I'm like, well, okay, but think about it this way.
(05:20):
You can offer him the same contract to stay, but
if you can't provide the gap that Colorado will be
making from the Big twelve, which is what thirty million,
maybe forty million, something like that, and TV revenue. If
you can't provide the gap between what an SEC school
is making in sixty five seventy million per year with
a big ten making seventy five million per year, that's
(05:42):
the other question to it. Like you can pay him
fifteen million a year as a contract, great, but if
you're if you're not able to support the forty million
difference that's being made in these other bigger conferences, that
to me would be the biggest concern. And maybe he's
not concerned. Maybe he says, look, I can and I
can recruit. I've got all these these stars who are
(06:02):
on my staff and they'll help me too, and that's
why people come to Colorado. But eventually it catches up
with you, Like eventually, like a kid will say, yeah,
I want to play for Dan, but damn these guys
got this nil buddy that I can't turn down, right.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Like I love to go play for that money, don't you.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, It's like I love to go play for prime,
but damn right, we were't million dollars wait for no
deb Bray.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
We were talking about this last week and we're kind
of made the comparison that when Jimmy Johnson got to
Miami Miami was already kind of established, they had had
some success, but there was a vibe when he got there.
He changed a culture and all of a sudden they
became must watch. It became one of those teams that
kind of, I guess, gravitates towards even NFL fans because
(06:44):
it felt it feels professional, there's something to it. Colorado
kind of has that right now. And for people that
are taking the stance of, well, you know, but it's
not NFL and it's Colorado. They won one game last year. Man,
a lot of those guys are going to be playing
in the NFL pretty quick here, so it just get
used to seeing this conversation. Well, you know, not the
(07:04):
starting center because Dean doesn't even know his name, but
there's just there's.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
He was a backup. I started as a freshman. Give
him a break, all right, who's Zach? Who's Zach's freaking
out about it?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
LeVar trying to pronounce his last name, by the way, Hank,
excuse me, Hank.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah, I know, y'all, I was going to post that
crap to ye. I was going to do it. Yeah,
I knew I was going to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Post what what the.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Shots fired, well the only losers job. LeVar like.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Already had People Center. He played for Washington. He knows
all about falling off. I was like, god, Lee, I'm
getting the time. Hey, you know it was posted.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
He he has this polarizing of a figure as it gets.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
No one wants to admit it, but as many people
that are watching or watching Prime to Win, they're also
watching him.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, and I'm sure he's okay with that, like he
didn't care.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
But I just I think it's interesting that like the
ratings are driven by his popularity slash how again like
not dividing, but I think there's some people love what
he's doing. Some people don't, and they're very open about
talking about it. And I don't know if they feel
threatened by it or why they don't they don't like it,
but it's it's been fascinating to watch, Like this whole
(08:26):
year has been so much fun for college football because
we've never seen anything like this, at least not to
this degree in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So because when have you ever heard of a one
win team the previous season getting more headlines than the
defending back to back national champions. Georgia hasn't lost a
game in over six hundred and fifty days, and it's
like the most under the radar defending champion that we've
seen in a long time, because Deone Sanders and Colorado
have just taken college football by storm and taken the
(08:55):
national coverage of college football by storm. And look, we
gave you a hard time about, you know, big new
kickoff going back to Boulder and all this and going
back for Colorado State.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I mean, we'll be back. We'll be there next week too, But.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Man, you can't argue with the fact that it's it's
the biggest story in college football, and so to be
there at the scene and just to see the momentum
build every single week, and then you'll be there obviously
for USC Colorado, as you mentioned. I just I don't know.
I think it's a smart play and I think people
are capitalizing on what Dion's brought, and I think it's
good for the sport.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I think it's good for college everyone's robbing the coat tails.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Right now, big time prime coattails.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Maybe. Yeah, I've enjoyed watching it.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I believe that it'd be interesting to see the whole conversation,
just circling back to what you were speaking on in
terms of the gap and you know Shador if he stays,
and Travis Hunter and him not being able to go
yet and just all of the elements that are are
in what Dion is doing. I'm curious, Like the one
(09:56):
thing that I'm thinking about is bill and growing and
having you know, kind of like a long lasting legacy
connected to what you're doing. And I believe, I believe
Dion has that opportunity here and I believe that that's
(10:17):
something that he would probably want to do. And I
was I was talking to my buddy about this yesterday
and I was like, oh my gosh, and and so
and as we were talking, because I've worked with Dion
for a long time, it's like people don't realize Dion
has been with his coaching staff, like like some of
(10:38):
the core guys, he's been with them since Shador was
playing pee wee league football, Like he's taken them on retreats,
they've they've done coaching clinics. They've they've done can't like
numerous amounts of camps. They they did the under Armour
All American Game. So he built a relationship where he
(11:01):
had a pipeline with the recruiting service that does the
ESPN Top Top one hundred. I mean when you look
at the infrastructure and the process of redundancy and everything
that went into what he did from from day one
(11:22):
of him getting into coaching until.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Now, where's this going.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I just I'm just wondering if he's a builder and
he has built this from the ground up, I'm just
I'm just wondering will he stay in Colorado. I think
that it makes it a compelling discussion point that he's
always It's not like an overnight thing. It's not like
he decided I'm going to coach, you know, last year
(11:49):
or when he started coaching at Jackson State, and that
was what he did. Now, while he hasn't logged wins
and losses because he's not been you know, a head coach,
he's been building his his staff.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
He's had that. So I just I just.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Wonder if he's going to stay at Colorado beyond Shador leaving,
beyond Hunter leaving, because he has so many people that
are going to come. I mean again, sitting there, my
son is really into Colorado, like he wants to go
to Colorado, and I'm looking at him like, so now
I'm looking at this story, not just from a you know,
(12:29):
from a media angle or right prime angle. I'm looking
at this from like a personal one.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
He's already already said multiple times NFL is not an
option like he's but I.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Don't know that you can buy into that, and so
you really know, right, it's different when you've got two
teams bidding on you at the NFL level, and that
becomes a different situation. And even then, I think the
most interesting thing is this look at how he got
the job. Like, forget about where Colorado was for a second,
but it's how he got the job. I mean, there
(13:02):
were places that didn't even want to give him an interview,
like Auburn, Florida State, who decided to stick with Mike
Norvel instead. You know, Georgia Tech didn't want to go
that direction, and there should be something to that, right, Well,
well that was their choice. But the point is this
is he chose to go to Colorado because it was Colorado,
who is a one win team that at that point
(13:24):
in time, was so desperate they let him do whatever
he wanted. He got to change all the academic standards
that they had held up there so that they could
get whoever they want. In the transfer portal and be
able to convert over this roster like That's one of
the biggest hurdles that people don't really talk about, is
they took down a lot of the academic requirements that
(13:47):
Colorado had put in place for transfers, which is a
lot of times. The biggest issue is a university is
very protective of its degree, right the faculty, the presidents,
they all really care about it, and what they don't
want is someone who comes in for one year and
is able to graduate with their degree when the bulk
(14:09):
of their classes and everything they did was somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
It makes us seem watered down. So they were able.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
He was able to come in at a time where
it was the right time at Colorado in order to
be able to see not only make the changes that
he wanted, but make it possible to turn over the
roster the way they have.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It was the right.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Time in college football where you had a transfer portal
that you could literally turn this whole thing over like
they have and like other schools have attempted to do,
and in a year's time or an off seasons time.
So it was the perfect storm for him to go there. Now,
the difference is it doesn't. It has to be the
(14:48):
perfect situation for him to go somewhere else. And I
think there's a lot of other schools who are going
to be willing to do that.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I mean, if Texas A and M wanted.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
To get out from the reading God Jimbo Fisher, I mean,
they could do it. They've got so much money and
if this season turns into a disaster, they could buy
him out and they could look at Prime and say,
we'll pay you twenty million a year.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
How does that sound.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
And by the way, you'll be in the state of Texas,
you'll be playing in the SEC. Use those as your
recruiting tool. We're getting seventy million a year from our
TV contract.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Even after he retired, he was still living in Texas,
I think exactly. Cross So yeah, that, oh man, Texas
A and M would.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Be Texas A and M would be one.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I mean, Florida got back on track, but after they
lost early, you kind of.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Said, all right, Florida will be one. That would be
like you go to.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Some of these states where you don't have to leave.
And I try to explain this to people. The hardest
thing about like getting to a place like Colorado is.
It's awesome when you get there. It's not easy to
get there, Like some of the best places to send
a recruiter, places that are easy to get to and
until you go through that because you factor in all
that stuff like how do your parents come and your
girlfriend coming, you going back and forth. When you get
(15:59):
a place that's easy to get it too, and then
they have all the resources you're looking for stat all
that other stuff, it makes it a lot easier to
commit to that and stay committed to that.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, I mean, I'm happy for Dion. I'm you know,
we're not going to sit up here like guys like
LeVar and Jason Whitlock trying to get him fired. You
know that's not that's for sure, you know. I just
want to support Dion Sanders in common.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
That was a quick twenty four hour flip for you. LeVar,
you were ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
You went from one thing yesterday to now You're like, no,
I'm not curious. How long is it going to be there?
No one has nothing to do with the other. I
do think that. I mean, stand on what I said,
stand on it. I stand on it, stand on it.
I'm curious that when they when they're coming back to earth.
That's been my work, that's been my work.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Oh what.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
LeVar was standing by you?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You're like Nick, sayon on that little gatory bucket they
had in that usf away you see that picture. No,
it was like a little a little headliner. Was like
toughest job in all of college sports. The guy who's
making sure say it doesn't fall at seventy some years old,
doesn't fall off the small little gatorade buckets up in.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
The locker room.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Oh yeah, come on, Bar, we'll stand by you.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
We'll stand by Var. I don't even know this song.
Are you serious? Never heard it?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Good?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Are you seriously?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
I've never song gets you right in the fields?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Come on song, Just listen to the words, LeVar.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
If you're mad, get mad LeVar.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You can get mad LeVar. We're just stand by you.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
We're gonna stand by you, LeVar. We're not We're not
going anywhere. I appreciate it. Guys, you've got to appreciate
the support.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
We might annoy you, you might not like it, but
we're standing here, buddy, damn right next to you. So
way I might not stand on that gatorade thing though
with you, because that that looks a little on said.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Look a little dangerous.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
We're like a football, but that will break your won't
hurt yourself if you.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Have it's own, you own, definitely not. It's Two Pros
and a Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio,
so we are gonna have the usuals coming up later on.
We got another edition of in case you missed it.
We've also got our Midwek Awards. The old p Petris
Papadega is gonna stop by. We got the BQ News again.
It's all yours on this three hour edition and extravaganza
(18:18):
until nine am Eastern time, six o'clock Pacific. But somebody
has killed any rumor or any conversation about them joining
an arch rival, and you'll hear from them right here
on FSR.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here coming
up in less than twenty minutes from now two rivals
could be joining forces in the world of football. We'll
give you the detail on that again a little over
twenty minutes from now here on FSR. But speaking of rivals,
one of Tom Brady's great rivals in the NFL was
(19:09):
the New York Jets, and so of course there's been
some speculation with the Jets in need of a quarterback
after Aaron Rodgers going down with the injury, could Tom
Brady be an option? So he was asked about it
on his podcast, the Let's Go Podcast with Jim Gray,
and here's how the conversation went.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
So, Tom, we know you're on a lot of Jets
for Delta in your leadership role. The question everybody has
been wondering is have the Jets called and are you
considering the Jets?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Next question.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Asked an answered, good for him, pulled a Belichick there,
just moving on, not even interested, not even an option,
And it's time everybody else just moves on as well too.
He's retired, it's over. He's slinging airline tickets or whatever
he's doing. Now, he's going to be a broadcaster next year.
Now we just move on. And focus on the fact
(20:04):
that the New York Jets are a non playoff team
yet again in the ages.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Can we really call it a rivalry?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I mean, what was the first year that that Tom
Brady started for the Patriots?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Was it two thousand one?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Two thousand and one, two thousand and one, Yeah, I believe, so.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
They split in two thousand and one, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
After that, it was two thousand that he he got drafted.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Okay, so it was two thousand, he got drafted in
two thousand. All I know is this, the Jets since
that time have won like ten times and they played
twice a year. In fact, the Jets haven't beat the
Patriots in I don't know since overtime of twenty fifteen.
(20:53):
That's the last time the Jets beat the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
So Tom Brady in his career was thirty and seven
against the Jets.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
So I'm saying, like, is it really a rival hey?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
By the way, and by the way, the Buffalo Bills.
Tom Brady's career against the Bills, he was thirty three
and three. You imagine that playing a team thirty six
times and you only lost three. That's just puredominance, and
then the Jets haven't beat the Patriots. They've lost fourteen
(21:23):
straight times going into this weekend. So yeah, Tom Brady
not an option for the for the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
This is the next question.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
And they're just gonna have to just be resigned to
the fact that Zack Wilson is their quarterback until the
organization acknowledges we got a problem here.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Okay, which is where I want to get to now,
and we've seen one game.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Now, you look, the Jets are a team. That's that's
one and one.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I think you look at him and that and that
Dallas gave me, So okay, maybe we just hit a
buzzsaw with how well Dallas is playing and that didn't
seem like a very winnable game for us. Maybe that's
how you chock it up, and you and you dismiss
some of the mistakes by Zach Wilson because you know
that he was in a desperate spot and he was
(22:07):
just kind of trying to make a play at the
end of the game, right, And that's that's how you
can chock it up. I guess the problem is they're well,
he didn't have to and then on top of that,
it's not like their schedule gets any easier. They've got
New England this week. That's an O and two team that,
in my opinion, is the best OH and two team
in the NFL. I think if you go back and
look at the games they've played, you know, they played
Miami close, they played obviously Philly close, had a chance
(22:32):
towards the end of that one. They're a team that's
been kind of on the cusp, and I don't think
there's any way New England wants to sit there and
be OH to three and think they have any shot
getting the postseason. Like that's where you start getting a
lot more of those conversations about Bill Belichick and how
much longer he's gonna been there start, you know, start
popping up. But if I'm looking at the Patriots as
(22:55):
compared to the Jets, I feel like they're a much
more complete, consistent team so far this year. And you
can say, well, that's because they're consistently lost, but I
think they've been right there, and they've played a tougher
schedule more I actually say equal schedule to maybe what
we've seen so far from from the Jets.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
So I like the point the discussion point of of
them losing to a hot team in Dallas. If if
i'm if I'm Robert Sala, I'm looking at at Zach
Wilson like that's a tough that's a tough sled right there.
That's tough sledding to to come in and get going
(23:33):
against Dallas. So I'll have a little grace towards that.
Un less, let's work towards seeing if we can be
better moving forward. But with that being said, I do
think that a game against New England is a statement game.
It's a step up game for for Zach Wilson and
(23:54):
he can do a lot for himself with the confidence
of that coaching staff by having a good showing against
a divisional opponent like New England, who is actually I
agree with with the idea of them being the best
zero to two team as well. They're a very competitive
(24:15):
team that that hasn't hasn't won games yet. So it's
it's a dangerous game because it's a it's a step
up game for for the Jets, but it's a it's
also a trap.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Game for the Jets as well.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
So I'm you know, I want to see how that
that plays out for Zach Wilson and the Jett Way.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
How do you think the TV partners feel that they
they've got all these four o'clock starrets and primetime games
that they're not flexing that of right, Like, this isn't
like a week ten Sunday night game versus the Raiders obviously,
which I guess could be flexed at that point of
the season.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Maybe, I mean, maybe Lee can check on that.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
But between Monday night and and uh, you know, looking
at looking at Thursday night and then you see these
four four pm kicks, it's supposed to be the bigger audience.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
It's like, that's not really what we were hoping for.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
But here's their schedule the next four weeks, New England
at home, Case at home at Denver, and then versus
Philly before their bye week seventh.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
They're one and one. Now what's their record by.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The bye h Yeah, that'll be one, two and five,
two and five. They'll lose every single game.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They're not going to lose the dinner. I don't know, man, Denver,
if they can just figure.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
It out, I mean, that's every bad team, yeah, but
I don't I don't think they're that bad, even though
I mean, I don't know. I'm not sure what we
want to make of last week. I mean, last week
it's like, all right, they're good enough to get back
into the game.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
But they're they're also struggling enough to let that game. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I mean, the guy who had a point to prove
against the comments from Sean Payton was Aaron Rodgers. He
ain't there, Or the comments against Nathaniel Hackett, He's not there.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
It should be Russell Wilson that has the comments that
want to prove I want to prove Shaw Peyton wrong,
you know, like he should want to play better and
play out a higher level, you know, based off of
Sean Payton challenging him publicly to just be be Russell
Wilson on the football field.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
There's no and I don't think there is, but I'm
curious your guys' thoughts on it. There's no conversation that
would be had if at the end of this season,
say the Jets are just a disaster again because of
the injury, and they you know, they want to roll
with Zach Wilson. He's going to be their guys, say
they're a four win team, a five win team. There's
no discussion about Robert solid getting clipped right, I would
(26:36):
assume they would look at it and go and he
was kind of up against it. You know, he's got
the defense, but Aaron Rodgers injury kind of put him
in a bad spot. I can't imagine they would want
to move on from him. With the connection to Rogers
that he's built and just the hype around it. He
feels like he's the guy they've just gotten screwed at
the quarterback spot. And I don't know that that's his
(26:56):
fault or if it's Joe Douglas, who's going to be
the guy that everyone looks and goes, man, what's what
the Zach Wilson stuff, like you drafted him and you
guys are just rolling with him through all of this.
It feels like Robert sal is going to be safe
no matter what.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
In my mind, again, when that injury happened, I said
it at the time.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I don't know I remember if he's me saying.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
This, but it gave Robert Salah a little more runway
because if Rogers played this year and it didn't work,
then I think you're looking at, you.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Know, turnover rebuilt the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I don't think he would have had as much grace
as he's going to now in this instance, at least
with Woody Johnson and obviously their ownership. So I think
this conversation already happened, you know, week one, and now
it's just a matter of how can you build this
team to get it to a point where when Rogers
comes back, they can be a super Bowl contending team,
because in between the preseason and then watching so far
(27:55):
in the first couple of weeks, their offensive line is
a big time concern. And unless they get that figured out,
and unless Rogers makes some drastic changes to the way
he plays, you know, meaning he's not gonna be holding
onto the football, It's it's hard to think they're gonna
be able to navigate through this this AFC conference and
get to you know, get to a shot at a
super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
If they can't protect him better, I would say I
would say it's how he he how he loses. I
think we know he's going to lose. I think it's
how he loses. I think if the team. I mean,
I'm just being honest. Personal, I'm just I'm not taking
(28:38):
a shot at him being this is not personal. That's
why I think we needed not personal. That's what we
need to come up with. I think if you look
at what Prime's done with it's personal. We just go
not personal, like we create our own sweatshirts. All right,
that just say not personal.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
It's not personal that way, Like maybe it's less I
don't know, you know, it just doesn't trigger people quick.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
But by the way, do you get some free glasses
while you're in Boulder this past weekend? They give you
some of those blenders.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
The problem is is once I took them off to
move to a different spot, they were gone. So really
what happened is someone else got a pair of free thunders.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Rob Stone's a thief is basically what we just uncovered
on the air.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I'll put it this, I would not be surprised what
that was that on there. Yeah, that was.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
If he holds the team together and they're competitive, I
think he's safe. I think if he loses that locker
room and the way they're losing is really kind of
volatile or just ugly, and it's playing out ugly because New.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
York without Zach, what they all were like, all right, guys, listen,
we know what the situation is.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Here.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Okay, let's just band together. We really can't do much
about it, all right, we'll do our best. We're trying
to find Tom Brady or someone. But if we can't,
just understand, we're all in this together, right.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
All right? Guys, all right, bring up, bring Zach back in.

Speaker 9 (32:29):
We're having a little techo issue here with my board here,
but we'll try to get back and working again.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I mean you talk about that though, Iowa was Sam.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Can we discuss what was put out there on the

Speaker 9 (32:38):
Well, if I had my if my board here was
working in my wall, i'd play that deep fake sound
for you guys, because I.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh, okay, So if youre going to wait till the
next hour to do that.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
I think we can do it. I think we can
do it next hour.
Speaker 9 (32:49):
But I was actually told it was fake before I
even saw it, so I was never duped.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Like your buddy Matt Liner put out.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
A TikTok video and was reacting to it, but is
actually on TikTok. Get out of here.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
I saw TikTok video of him reacting to it, and
UH got a lot of views.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So how are those communal chips? By the way that
you were out rifling through. There's a bag of chips
that looks like it was pulled out of a sleeping
bag from some homeless guy, and Sam's just blowing through
them in the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
I need something. I need somebody for the coffee.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
You know what I'm saying. I said that the cake
is still there too. That kidding.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
There's no way it's still good.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
Now it's there. It's definitely still there.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Nobody's eating that us test it.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Oh god, come on, Lee, thing has been there a week.
Speaker 6 (33:33):
Lee tested, mother approved.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
All right, So now we turn it over to UH,
our executive producer Lee.
Speaker 10 (33:42):
Good morning, everybody, Good morning, Bady, Good morning the bar.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
A lot of guys. In case you missed this, there
could be.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
There could no technical difficulties there, baby.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
No none. There There could be some big news coming
this way. Lease that. Hey, Brady, that's the merger.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Of the two spring football leagues, the XFL and USFL.
Now what's becoming as early as.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
This week better together? Ye wouldn't that be a.
Speaker 10 (34:13):
Job that would produce a sixteen team league?
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Okay, okay, I see all right?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
Not murging maybe well maybe actually amongst the h the
actual whatever organization it ends up being. If it's the
USFL XFL, how you do the letters. But the interesting
thing is the XFL. I think they wouldn't have the
first move or advantage in spring football.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Once these two leagues decided to kind of.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Come back, you know, through COVID, and I don't know
that they was it was financially viable. I think they
kind of got into it and they realized, like, hey,
we can't survive. We're not sure the spring is worth
having two leagues.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I think they lost sixty million I saw, yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
I mean it was a big number.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
And that number to get back to not even profitability
but just break even was probably so high.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
They're like, how can we cut costs?
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Well, you know, one way is you cut operational costs
by partner or or you merge with another you know,
another group, and that's the USFL in this case. So
I would imagine this isn't as much of a merger
as it is almost like an acquisition by the USFL
of the XFL. It will be promoted as that, but
(35:29):
that's what my intuitions telling me in this case only
because of the financial issue that the XFL was adding.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
So it'll be all fuck, I think it should be.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
I think it will be no, no, no, that's that's
not the indication of how you know. I think what
you'll see is it will be aired probably on the
various networks because they still have rights to it, so
I think those will be shared. I think what will
be interesting to see though, is the behind the scenes.
There's a lot of like gambling and different data that
was compiled from the USFL that will probably be now
(35:58):
a part of this new league, whatever they call it,
and I would imagine that behind the scenes, Fox will
have probably much greater control.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Of it since they own the USFL.
Speaker 10 (36:07):
What else we got, lee, guys, In case you missed it,
h Dolphins shut down corner, Xavier and Howard has been
put on blast by a couple of IG models who
claim that they are all expecting children from that being
four different possible baby mamas they've all at the same time,
at the same time, you're they've all been corresponding with
(36:30):
each other. Screenshots of texts between him and these legend
baby mamas.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Yeah for once, Yes man, that sounds like lee Bowski.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
We all have dreams.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
It's a new way of doing quadruplets, that's all. Is
that your dream? Is that what you wish you would
be able to to do?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Oh god, no, God no, I mean it seems pretty expensive.
I don't know what is contractual status, but it seems like.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Uh, Larry damn five four Larry's.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I mean one is difficult. One's difficult enough. I can't
imagine twins four and four different locations.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I had the Irish triplets.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
I had three in diapers and then drinking drinking bottles
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
What were you drinking at the time? Oh man? That
was that was that?
Speaker 5 (37:32):
It was a hard time, man, hard time. One goes
to sleep, though other one starts crying. Two are crying.
One is sleep, one can't sleep because the other two
are crying. One is crying. They wait with the other
two up like daddy some tough times.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Why do you call them? Why do you call them
Irish triplets?
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Because they're like close enough to be triplets, but they're not.
One is a little bit older.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
You never heard of Irish twins same thing, No, never.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
It feels degrading to Ireland and I would never do that.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
I've been degraded plenty of my life in trust right
now get degraded every day.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Geez,
