in my life.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Well you take too long?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, well listen, I'll get on that. But I know
it's good to be back here. It's good to be back,
you know, it feels it feels good to be back
at this bright and early hour. Uh and to three
o'clock Pacific time, after a few days off. It was
only four days off, but it felt like a lot
longer than that for some reason.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah, it was over the weekend. It was six.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Your trip to Transylvania was good.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Here's the only question.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah, what did your Vaca coffin? How did it work
out for you?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Hey, you pale dog extra, have.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
One question for you, Jonas.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
What's that?

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Did you take off your show Saturday?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Did you really? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Oh wow, legitimately took time off.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, it took took time off, but uh yeah, that
probably happening again.

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Times are changing, boy, they said, Jonas Knox had never changed.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
I said, I know, I told you I never changed.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
But when I got that contract for two pros and
Cup of Joe, I was lying, rich bitch.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Damn no.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
It was good. Uh, you know, it's good to be
with the family. I wandn't want to spend some night
with the family.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Was good.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah. Completely, Uh just age, disengage from next year. It's
like the Olympics try four years. It's uh, just completely
disconnect from social media all that stuff. You just don't
need it and just hang out with the fam and
got to go to Chicago and have a good time.

(03:19):
And you know, take take my son to a couple
of Cubs games with like he loves baseball, loves the Cubs.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Also his reaction to the Cubs, like what was his response?
How'd they do?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
By the way, oh lost both games? You went to?

Speaker 5 (03:33):
What do you.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
What do you explain the Cubs? That's why I'll say this.
There is and I haven't been out there in a
couple of years, but I'm reminded every time I go
out there. The greatest player in the history of the
Cubs franchise is Wrigley Field and the neighborhood it's in
and that's it. And anybody that tells you anything different,
Ernie Banks, Sammy Sosa, all these great players that have

(03:55):
been there. That's the star of the franchise. That's the
star of the team. And it's just there. There's nothing
like it. They've they've done it. It's gotten very corporate
in some parts of it. But like when you go
out to a game there, it's just different there than
it is in a lot of other places. And the
team stinks for the most part. They won last night,
Big whoop. They stink for the most part, But the

(04:18):
fact that they've got that venue and that atmosphere when
you go there, it's awesome. So it was fun to
to take him there and he got to see the
game and all he wants to do is play baseball,
Like he just wants to throw the ball, he wants
to hit it. We were downstairs, not really like he's
he's got a skill set that I do not have,
Like I don't have hand eye coordination for crap. He's

(04:39):
got all of it and.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
It comes from the mom's side.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Got to be either that or I got to start
asking this question maybe like because it does not make
any sense. We went down, so we had we were
sitting in the sun on on the for the Friday
day game, and it was, you know, too hot for
my wife, so let's let's go downstairs. Is too you know,
we don't you know. She brought her mom with her,

(05:02):
so they were like, you know, we want to get
in the shade somewhere. So I was like, all right,
that's fine. So we go downstairs. We're in the bleachers
and he just like has a bat with him that
we got across the street before the game and just
starts asking me to pitch to him, and so I'm
pitching him the ball. He's hitting home runs downstairs. He's
running through people that are standing in line to get concessions,

(05:24):
and he's sliding as if there's a base on the
on the floor, and he's got like a crowd around him.
Everybody's happy for him, they're celebrating them. So it was
really fun to take him there to get to see it.
And the older he gets, the easier it gets to
travel with him. Tried it a couple of years ago,
which I'm sure you guys have dealt with little kids
on planes. Not great, but he handled it.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Like a chance with multiples.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
That's I thought. I thought about that because I saw
people with multiple like young kids three and under getting
onto the plane, and I'm like, how did Brady and
LeVar do it? Man, I don't it is so I
don't like that is a testing of your pace. That's
gonna be the most stressful part of the entire trip.
Like if you can get through that, it seems like

(06:07):
everything else is good and the parents just look like
they were worn out by the time pretty much.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
I mean, it starts when you get to the airport
and it ends when you get to the hotel or
wherever you're going. But the toughest part is always the
bathroom scenario because when they're that young, like they can't
go on their own, and those things are so small.
Depending on the plane you're on, you've got to go
in and help them, and obviously it's just it can't
fit you exact damn I can't fit.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Then you can add one more little child in.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
There, like good luck But yeah, everyone's really looking at
you as you walk down the aisle of going good
Luck Pal.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Like thanks man, good luck Pal, not so cute good
Luck Pal.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah, that is part.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I didn't think about that it is tidy. The fact
that you guys would have to like go take the
kids in there and uh and do all that is
just that feels like.

Speaker 7 (06:54):
You know, there are some there are some flight attendants though,
that will look and be like, oh, she's fine, they're good.
I'm like, no, she's not. She's four years old. She's
too short to even reach the lash like to lock it.
So no, like like an adult needs to go with her.
I'm her dad. Like, there's there's certain flight attendants who
get a little too over the top with it, like, well,
what's what's this man doing with this young child?

Speaker 5 (07:16):
That's my daughter? Yeah, I have three of them. I know,
it's I know it's odd now.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Like people have multiple kids, Like it seems odd to people.
I have three kids. We actually have a fourth. So
there's just a there's just a whole train.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Of kids coming your way. Just get used to it, lady.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Which, by the way, when nature calls them kids at
a certain age, they not worried about what the flight
attendant has to say or anything like that, or daddy's
saying well it's gonna be okay, like, well we'll get there.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
You better beat it, you better beat the clock.

Speaker 6 (07:48):
You better beat the clock, because then now it gets
even worse because it's.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Like, well, what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (07:52):
What are you doing? Just two more seconds? We couldn't
get two more seconds?

Speaker 4 (07:59):
No, yeah, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
Now you go from having to do the restroom in
the restroom in the body to now you have to
go up over top you you gotta find a change
of clothes or you go into be cause they're not there.
There have been accidents where they're not baby babies, right,
so you don't have like a baby bag for them.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
They had an accident.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
They're a little bit like a little bit bigger, and
so now you got to change their clothes. I mean,
it's just hey man, it's it's it's a rite of passage,
is what. Because you can laugh at it now, but
in the moments you can cry. You you can be
stressed out to like a heart attack or a stroke

(08:48):
like it's it's no, it's not it's no gain.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
It is no gain.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
I will say this though, once you become a parent,
your patience and empathy for other parents in situations like
that goes.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Do look at them like it's like that hold that
that cup up in the glas the air.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
How can I help right, or we're in this together,
like trust is like everybody's fighting a battle here and
you're trying to trying to deal with it in public
with them.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
They look at you and they say it'll be okay.
They get you that it'll be okay. Look like you
look at them like, yeah, it'll be okay, Like I.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Was worried about so on the Friday. They have this feel.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
He sends on the airline, by the way, because because
every airline's got different customers, if it's Southwest, they know
what they're signing up for.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
I know we could beating Southwest.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
That's what I took. I took Southwest problem problem solved
the time.

Speaker 7 (09:40):
As a namer in a Southwest flight. I'm sorry, but
every every passenger nose that's a Possibilityeah, okay, you're going
one of the domestic If you a Delta, like, oh sir,
this is Delta. Can you please get your kid off
the plane? Man, we're at thirty thousand feet. I cannot
to calm down.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
It's like, what Delta. We're here for business. It's Delta.

Speaker 7 (10:01):
Then if it's American, they'll probably just find some weird
way of charging you more money for your ticket, right,
they'll be like a fee, there'll be something involved. They
By the way, you lost these points because your kid
was loud on the plane.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
We we penalized and we find you. That's more American style.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
By the way.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
On United, they will literally beat your child as you
go down the ad.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Just beat the child all the way off the plane.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
And if it's spirit, they'll let them fly the plane
for a couple of minutes. Yeah, I don't worry. Throw
them there, he'll figure it out. Yeah, we're good. Nobody
paid for this flight. Anyways. Yeah, that was one of
the things. Like he was, you know, kind of running around,
getting restless and getting antsy and just wanted to run
outside when we got outside the stadium, kind of cruising around.

(10:45):
On Friday, they have this area called Gallagher Away where
kids can play and all that. And so there's other kids,
like adult kids or like grown kids rather that are
playing catch with their dad and this one guy adult kids.
So he just know like grown kids.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
I misspoke, So he kids like.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Grown kids, like yeah, like bigger, and so he's running
around and I'm trying to like gather him up and
all that, and I'm like, hey, my wife was in
the bathroom or probably shopping again knowing her, but so
I kind of gathered trying to gather him up. But
I tell the dad, say, hey, sorry about that. You know,
he's just a little He's all, bro, look at my kid.

(11:22):
I dealt with the same crap. We're all, hey, we'll
we get it. Don't worry about it. You're good. I'm okay.
I just you know, I just want to make sure
he's not pissing you guys off. You're trying to play catch.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
And all that.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
So it was fun, but yeah, it is. It is
interesting to see as he gets older and you travel
the empathy level that other parents have for for o
their parents.

Speaker 7 (11:38):
Are you basically just exposing the fact that you have
not been able to like get your kid to be
able to listen to you, Because I feel like every
part of the story involves your son doing.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
So excited he was he was so excited.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Was a cocker spaniel, dude.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
He loved it, like he just he could not get enough.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
And it makes me wonder, how many times have you
ever take the kid on on the.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Trip.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
This is the first one that he kind of gets
what's going on. He was really like he didn't really
know what was happening the last couple of times. This time,
like because he was built up in his mind like
we're going to Chicago. We're going to Chicago, We're going
to go see the Cubs. I was like, yeah, we're
going to go see the Cubs. And he got there
and he just loved it, and so I was all right,
he wants to run around, he wants to like, we
don't have we saw who got a backyard? This is

(12:26):
probably the most grass he's ever seen.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
In his life.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Take him to a park, I mean that is possible.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Bring Uncle Varr's house too. You know you could do that.
And there's a pool hereaway.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, well that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Listen to Well there you go.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Yeah that's I mean, but at least I've made the
invitation now to both of you and to lead the lap.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
So well, you know, yes you expected who these two
white dudes with long hair.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Let me look the sunburn.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
I feel like my comment Lee yesterday, the text the
group text chain kind of killed the conversation.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
But honestly, I was like, dude, Lee, at some point, man,
we got to grow up.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
I don't know what you're doing in your free time,
but hanging out with Todd's not gonna get you.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
There was that a twister exhibit you guys radly?

Speaker 8 (13:25):
Yeah, yeah, well it was at the movie theater and
they had one of those like if you would like
put money in a in a tube and blow it
up and you have to.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Grab as much money as you can. It's one of
those things.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
That I think about, is Todd like forty.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
No, Todd's younger than me.

Speaker 7 (13:41):
Okay, I mean it's just screaming.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
As a grown adult. I was like, what are we doing?

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Like I'm laughing at it. Brady's first reaction is you
got to like get some kids or something.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
Like something needs to be interjected into your life to
force you to grow up. It's time.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
It's time man.

Speaker 7 (14:05):
That listen, do you guys giggle? Figured that's funny. I'm like,
what grown adult is doing that in the afternoon on
a weekday?

Speaker 4 (14:15):
After that?

Speaker 6 (14:16):
By those are big Jonas Knox fans, right, I mean
you gotta think, isn't that what Jonas is?

Speaker 5 (14:21):
Like?

Speaker 4 (14:22):
Lifelong like dream? I would love it.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
So they were like thinking about it, like let's plan
out something that Jonas would enjoy.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Let's go to a tornado.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Storm chasing storm chasing a storm chasing trip. Please that is,
don't even get me started. Can I also ask you
guys this.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
I would do it with you guys, just for the
content of it, like to collect the content. I just
wouldn't want to catch up with a real storm, like
a real tornado. Yeah, like I wouldn't want to do it,
but I would go for the content of it.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
I mean that, Yeah, that's that's the best part.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
I'd rather disappointment of us not finding it and being
able to live through it, you know, versus going with
you guys and a tornado actually touching down.

Speaker 7 (15:10):
I'd love to be in a stressful scenario with all
of us, just to see.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
How you all would react.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
How you think we react.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
I know we're late, but how do you think, like cute,
like you do great analysis. How do you think we
would react if we actually found ourselves in a total
stretch and you can give this scenario, how.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
You think we would be. Okay, I'll say, we'll.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Don't exclude yourself by the way.

Speaker 7 (15:34):
Okay, we're all hanging out and uh, there's a tornado,
so we'll just we'll play on the twister.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Let's go on twister. Uh.

Speaker 7 (15:42):
Lee would have panic, but it would be like delayed panic.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
And it would be one in which ye delayed panics.
It's delayed a little bit.

Speaker 7 (15:53):
It'd be slowed panic because he's a little intox kid.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
It's motor skills.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
He would be like, mahound's a tornado really coming, dude?

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, it really is windy, man.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
It closed the doors, dude. It's like.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
So Lee would be die man, stumbling around trying to
figure out like what like what to do?

Speaker 5 (16:20):
All right?

Speaker 7 (16:21):
I think LeVar would probably be pretty chill about it,
but at the same time, it'd be one of those like, non,
we got to get the hell out of here, and
he would probably be trying to, like, I don't know,
to go outside, get his car and leave or whatever else.
Jonas would try to act cool, even though he'd be
bothered by it and probably start getting up and start
like pacing around or just like kind of looking at

(16:42):
like at his phone and not really quite sure what
to do. And I would just tell you guys to
go to the basement. That would be more how I'd
react to I'd probably be laughing.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'd leave mostly I mean, I'd try and be getting
a connection so we could do the show from there.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Actually, I take that back. Jonas would be on radio.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
I would absolutely bring the comrades and be like, hey,
we gotta do Hey.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
He'd be calling Shappy to be able to be like, hey,
Shappy when when var and bringing die, I'm gonna take
their show, Shappy Scott shapiros now vaulted a Shappy after four.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Yeah, I think I would turn into Magiver, like like
you get that chair over there, get those things right there,
grab grab the toolbox.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
We gotta we gotta create. You'd be dealing with gallups,
so you think that as well.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'd be over in the corner like I'm hurt.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Someone's gonna pick me up, don't Jonas, Let's go.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
Jonas we had the window open with his shirt with
his chest out, like.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
I gotta see it, man, I gotta see it.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
And Lee would be on the were looking up by
Jonah's like is it there?

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Is it there? Man?

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Torn up?

Speaker 5 (18:07):
You see it? Can you see anybody?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
You gotta some kids or something.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
Lee would be like, hey, man, is that Helen Hunt?
Like what's happening?

Speaker 6 (18:17):
Man?

Speaker 4 (18:19):
You know my dad?

Speaker 7 (18:20):
You know my dad? Did a tornado exhibit. Then he
gets sucked up into the sky. It's last we So Lee.

Speaker 6 (18:29):
Got in the twister like, hey man, hey man, isn't
so bad?

Speaker 5 (18:37):
Yeah, the best be taught to me right there? You
got me earlier, man, were together?

Speaker 4 (18:44):
What took you so long to get here? Man?

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Just like Brady's Brady's final solution to least day drinking
is like, you gotta get kids. Please get a kid.

Speaker 7 (18:57):
I mean, I don't even want me to get like
a dog because I'm a little concerned about that situation.
Like you need something that's gonna grow and be able
to talk back to Lee to like get him like
going in the right direction.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
And it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
You tweeted out you and Todd and the tornado. I did, Yes,
I did?

Speaker 8 (19:19):
Has heard on two pros and a couple of joke Yeah,
all right, well, listen to lots of about it.

Speaker 7 (19:26):
I'd probably be like pessimistic, like I don't know, just
upset with like how everyone's reacting, complaining at the table
about it.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
And then I'd probably get sucked up in it too.
I'm gone. Yeah, Jonas would be doing radio while he
gets sucked up into it.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
What a way to go out though.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
But LaVar would survive. But LaVar would be fine. He
would just be somewhere. I don't know what he'd be doing,
but he would be fine. He'd be the only one
that survived.

Speaker 6 (19:48):
Yeah, I actually would have hit had I would have
headed for hopefully what would be a h a bathtub
that was big enough to.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Fit me in there.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Well, you get get under a staircase or something, or
down in the basement.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
You know they say bathtubs too, bro, I think it's
for bombs. No, no bad. If you get in a
bathtub with a tornado, there's a chance you're basically in
a boat.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
If that thing picks you up, you're just floating around
at a boat.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
And the cruves around a little bit.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
I mean, hey, okay, hey.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Hey, well listen, it is a two pros and a
cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio.

We've all used different tools.

Speaker 9 (22:15):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Two pros and a cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here coming
up in a little over fifteen minutes from now from
the tiraq dot com Studios. Apparently there's a struggle in
the NFL. We've got the proof of it. We'll get
into that for you again, coming up here a little
over fifteen minutes from now. Not a struggle financially for

(22:47):
Christian McCaffrey. He extends his lead as the highest paid
running back in the NFL, gets a two year extension
locks him up for the next four years in San Francisco,
defending Offensive Player of the Year. Reportedly it's nineteen million
dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
It keeps him the highest paid again at that position.
And so is this good news for running backs or
is this more of a one off situation or are
the numbers deceiving as a lot of these contract numbers
are they get reported publicly. I'm a little confused as
to how what this does for the market there.

Speaker 7 (23:21):
Yeah, me personally, I feel like the numbers look a
little bit more deceiving in this case. It really just
gives him the short term cash of about fourteen point
two million in a signing bonus, which he's obviously able
to make this year and get that up front, and
if you look at where the contract then takes its
next little bump, it's going to be in an option bonus.

(23:42):
And so to me, everyone's playing this out to be
like some sort of contract extension that goes to twenty
twenty seven. He turns thirty one, his cap hits pretty
big for a running back at that point, and maybe
that number goes up in the next four years, you know,
after the next three season, maybe we see that number
go up where you know, he's got a base salary

(24:03):
about seventeen million.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
That's really high in something.

Speaker 7 (24:06):
That you'd want to be able to reduce to not
have as a big part of your salary cap. But
the reality is this contract is, in essence, at least
in my mind, a two year deal. After the next
two years, they can get out from underneath Christian McCaffrey
or at least renegotiate that number, considering the fact that
they've got, you know, voidable years in the back end
of it, and he's even though he's still got two

(24:28):
years left on the deal, they've got.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Some room to work.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
So it's a good deal because it rewards him for
what he was able to do this past season, and
I think even what he's done since he's gotten to
San Francisco.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
But this is not resetting the running back market.

Speaker 7 (24:42):
People who are trying to throw that out there and
report that would I would, I would caution you because
it's it's inaccurate to a degree. I mean, what is
on this contract, what he'll be paid the next two years.
That's really what this is about. After that, it's kind
of what we'll see where we're at. And if the
fort nine has wanted to move on from him at
that point time, if they wanted to renegotiate his contracts
and restructure it, they could.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
And so that's what they're betting on, is they're saying, Okay, past.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
Two seasons have been great, let's see two more great
ones and then we can have another discussion at that point.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
And I mean, this is a semac deal. This is
not like, name another running back who's going to see
a deal like this.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Oh, or you're saying because he's white, is what we're saying.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
Geez appressed me like that, man, Bro, I'm different. I'm different. Bro,
you are funny as a mother lover. I just I
just need you to catch need you be on with it.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
You know.

Speaker 10 (25:44):
Oh my gosh, y'all might be the most savage dudes
ever to tie that into the show just now.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
It's very good. Oh no, I'll check my text. I
seem what you guys did. I see what you did, Joe,
But what you just did people don't understand that that's
an art form.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Dang, name another running back, Name another one.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
I just I don't see another one that's called I
don't see another one that's who's going to reset the
market at at running back maybe a little.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Bit, yeah, hide and shot glasses.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
I just leave it alone.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I'm not man hold on John Robinson. He just got
to the league an hour ago. He's going to be
the next one that resets it.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
It's gonna be gonna well serious, Lee sious you're doing there, Bud.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
That's he's got a lot to do to reset the market.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Now.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
Lee's on that team anyway.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
On a roll right, feels slighted that McCaffrey got the deal,
so he wants to be Jean Robinson to get his.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Yeah, he's got He's got plenty of plenty of guys
to throw in the mix.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I do wonder, though, where do we stand on Brandon
Ayuk though, because that one feels like it's not going,
not going anywhere.

Speaker 7 (27:18):
Here's what I don't get. So is it like the
forty nine ers zig when everyone else is sagging? I mean,
we look at Justin Jefferson's deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
Ceedee Lamb's gonna cash in, Jamar Chase wants to cash in.
Eventually tyreek Kill will cash in. There's all these receivers
for seeing get paid, and they're like, oh, no, we
would want to pay Brandon Ayuk. We would trade them.
They're like, oh yeah, by the way, Deebo Samuel's on

(27:40):
the trading block too.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
I'm like, wait, what, like you might lose both those guys.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
I mean, I understand for roster construction and how they
look at the league and how they operate, and you know,
again you've you've got Ricky Parasol, who they drafted they
must feel great about. They extend Juwan Jennings or or
signed him recently to a much more economical deal. But like,
no one's paying running backs like this. I mean, even

(28:05):
even for McCaffrey's dealing. And even though I didn't mean
it like pooh pooh it, but I'm just saying, you know,
he gets about sixteen million in cash the next two years,
and that number drops for twenty twenty six, and there's
an out for the team, et cetera. But no one's
gonna even getting close to that number. And so if
you look at it from that standpoint, like they were like, no, no,
we value what he does you know we value his

(28:25):
past catching ability, we value his his you know, running
ability and everything else he's displayed.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
No one else is doing that.

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Like, I think the the interesting thing about the forty
nine ers this offseason are they're looking at their roster
and he who they're going to pay entirely different than
everyone else is looking at the roster and who they're
deciding to pay.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Who would you say are the most important players on
their roster, like Grant Bosa, pretty.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Much everyone on the defensive line, Okrent William.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, and then but it's got to be it's McCaffrey,
George Kittle and then we'll figure it Outde.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Receiver, Let's have a discussion quick about this, because LaVar, like,
do you remember last year we were talking about and
it was when they were making their Super Bowl run.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
People, i mean people.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
Took us a slight to brock Purty instead of just
looking at it going no, they have the offensive player
of the year, they have maybe the best left tackle
in the game.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
They have one of the best edge rushers in the game.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
They have all these really talented players, like one of
the best tight ends, et cetera. But if you're really
being honest with ourselves, right, isn't that how you look
at their roster? Like, I don't know how many guys
you'd list before you get to saying brock Purty.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
He just plays the most important position.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
I was about to ask the saying question, where do
you put brock Purty in the ranking of it? So
you said you put George Kittle and and you put
Christian McCaffrey in front of in front of Purty.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
And I'm struggling again.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
Not so people don't misconstrue what I'm saying, not in
regards to importance, but if you're looking at what they've accomplished,
what they've done in the league so far, and as
a player and all that, Yeah, I think I think
you have to seek.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
To me, I said, I say, if you don't have him,
I don't know how it all plays out if there's
a different quarterback in there, right, jim like Jimmy Garoppolo.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Super Bowl?

Speaker 6 (30:14):
They did, they did, but they got rid of them,
and they got rid of their draft pick.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:22):
I mean, I feel like if if you felt confident
enough to let Garoppolo go, which we didn't see Garoppolo
do anything after he left, and and you let Trey
Lance go and we didn't see him do anything.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
After he left.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
Then, while while I would certainly say what they're running
schematically plays a major part in the success of that
quarterback or or any other player in that that scheme
to to to add to that, I still think that
that's who they settled in on, which means that there's
a belief in who he is and what he brings

(30:59):
to the take, which makes me think that I put
him number I probably put him number two or three
of most important players, like and I'm saying we're not
just most important, right, not just as saying in his position,
I'm saying him at quarterback, him being at quarterback.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Him, yeah, him, him, him, Yes.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
Well, I'm gonna get brought purty his props because he's
done it multiple seasons. I mean, I might have thought
it would have been almost like a flute the first year,
like mister irrelevant, can't be you know that relevant?

Speaker 4 (31:41):
And then he came back and you know he's legit.
That's a legit.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Football also also played pretty good in the Super Bowl
as well, too, like because when they lost with Garoppolo
then was well Garoppolo didn't complete that pass he threw
the interception late. You know, they melted down. You know,
the defense got a little bit of a pass after
they gave up the big third down to Tyreek Hill
and all that. Like nobody walked away from that game
afterwards after the Super Bowl in February and said, yeah,

(32:08):
but because of Rock Party, they didn't win. They just
there was a couple of plays and it didn't go
their way. But he played well, So he's still solid.
But when you've got best linebacker, maybe best edge rusher,
best tackle, like, there's there's a lot to like there.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
And where were they? Where were they when they low
McCaffrey played.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
Well, I'm just saying where were they?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
I had McCaffrey to win the MVP, Damn was close.
They weren't the game he would.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
I mean, if you're looking at a one game sample size,
that that's one thing.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
But going back to it, and I said this last year, it's.

Speaker 7 (32:41):
Not a knock on brock Purty, Like people need to
stop getting off this train of like, oh, it's just
it's not it's not disrespectful, it's it's rightfully placed in
the fact that Christian McCaffrey is the best running back
in the NFL. If you look at defensively, Nick Bose
is one of the best, if not the best, at rusher,
Trumpo was the best left tackle. Fred is maybe the
best linebacker at least one of them. Like, you know,

(33:03):
you're not having that conversation about brock perty, you're not
putting him amongst the best quarterbacks in the league like that.
His name never comes up in that And if it does,
it's from a forty nine Ers fan or an Iowa
State fan who's got an extreme bias and in me
saying that, it's not a knock, it's not like, it's
just the reality of if you look at his skill
set and compare to the best quarterback the MVP last year,

(33:27):
Lamar Jackson. Do you think the forty nine Ers wouldn't
want Lamar Jackson as their quarterback if they could get
Lamar Jackson? Of course, yeah, of course, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow,
Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Let's just keep going down the list.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
Youldawayne got Lamar Jackson. They want to put that scroll
up they didn't want him.

Speaker 7 (33:47):
I mean, and look, maybe you're right, maybe Kyle Shanahan
doesn't see value and needing to pay his quarterback that
but he's gonna have to eventually play Brock party, won't he?

Speaker 6 (33:55):
I would assume so. But at least he will have
earned it as a forty nine Yeah. True, you know,
instead of him just going out and finding a free
agent and matching a you know, a franchise tag or
anything like that.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
At least he will have built his own his own guy.

Speaker 7 (34:11):
What's gonna be fascinating as if pretty gets hurt what
it looks like behind him, because everyone's balled out in
Kyle Shanahan's system, and their roster is pretty interesting. I
mean they've got I think what Josh Dobbs is a
backup they brought in this you know this past year.
Brandon Allen's still there who they like, and then Tanner
Mordecai who played a long time in college football.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
But you could say that's the one position. That's what
the one position.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
If if Brock Purdy goes down that you look at it.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
And go, oh, that could really spoil their season.

Speaker 6 (34:41):
Glass half full for me? What if he goes on
a tear and starts winning the Super Bowl? Then we
look back, like three four years from now, say, dang,
Rock Purty like really went on a tear.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
He went on a run and we supported him.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
How about it?

Speaker 1 (34:59):
And everybody else tried to diminish what he could do.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
Not on this show. I'm built different man.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
Fox Sports Radio coming up next to here from these tire
rack dot Com Studios. Apparently there is a struggle in
the NFL that you could be a part of coming
up here very very soon. We'll get into the details
on that for you next here on FSR.

a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and

after the fact, we'll get into the details for you
on that. Coming up here again a little over ten

(35:54):
minutes from now, Before we get to another edition of

Speaker 1 (36:24):
After that, we turn it over to our executive producer,
Lead Lap.

Speaker 8 (36:29):
Good morning everybody, Good morning Jonas, Good morning Brady, Good
morning LeVar, guys.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
In case you missed this, Thank you Levaruh. Netflix, Hey
Brady Uh.

Speaker 8 (36:39):
Netflix, which we all know bought the two Christmas games
between the Ravens and Steelers. Texans and Chiefs for seventy
five million dollars a pop, are struggling to find advertisers
for this game. Perth Variety dot com, they are looking
for four hundred thousand dollars per thirty second ads but
have proven have not proven convincing.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
One come fur hundred thousand per what.

Speaker 8 (37:00):
Thirty second ads complication being that they want advertisers to
buy packages that would require them to buy ads for
other programming.

Speaker 7 (37:09):
That's probably part of it. I think the other part
of it is, well.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
It's Christmas.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
Part of the reason why the fall and leading into
the holiday season is so big is because you get
the end of the year, you get different you know,
spending for folks.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
Obviously, holiday shopping.

Speaker 7 (37:24):
All that's going on once Christmas hits kind of over right,
and when you look into it, yeah, you can go
back or return stuff, you know, get the savings and
all that after Christmas. I've talked to you guys about
my buddy who's got this all figured out with this
Christmas shopping.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
But I won't get on that segue today.

Speaker 7 (37:43):
The point is, there's a reason why some of these
TV networks have never pushed the NFL to want to
have a Christmas Day game. There's a reason why they
understand that there's not necessarily as much to it economically
as there could be.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Like, you don't think this.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
Idea has been tossed around before, so it's not surprising
that they're struggling a little bit to be able to
figure out a way of making money back on some
of this, and it's playing seventy five million per game. Yeah,
that's gonna be tough to make anything off of it.
It just gets them in the ballgame.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Now, So consider this, if we know the audience on Christmas,
what would you say would be some brands or products
that would fit in that time slot that they could
promote that would have some sort of an impact.

Speaker 5 (38:25):
Car dealership Still, they're always trying to push out cars
by ending.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Use divorce attorneys, boost for New Year's divorce attorneys, divorce attorneys,
gym memberships, a get your fat ass in the gym
coming up in a week from now. It's Christmas.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
Not much money, they're gonna do it regardless.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Yeah, Like you're just trying to find some solutions here.
So I think we could help out in Netflix here.
