Speaker 2 (01:18):
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 at 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 (01:32):
Yeah, it was over the weekend. It was six Your
trip to Transylvania was good.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Here's the only question by your vacate coffin. How did
it work out for you?
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Hey, you pale dog?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Extra one question for you, Jonas?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Did you take off your show Saturday?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Did you really?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Oh wow, legitimately took time off.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, it took time off, but uh yeah that probably
would be happening again.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Times are changing, boy, they said Jonas Knoxa never changed.
I said, I know, I told you I never changed.
But when I got that contract for two Pros and
Cup of Joe, I was lying, rich bitch, Damn.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now it's good. Uh, you know, it's good to be
with the family. I want I want to spend some
night with the family. Yeah. Completely, Uh, just disengage. Disengage
from next year.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
This time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's like the Olympics. Try four years, it's uh never.
Just completely disconnect from social media all that stuff. You
just don't need it and just hang out with the fam.
And I got to go to Chicago and have a
good time, and you know, take take my son to
a couple of Cubs games with like he loves baseball,
(02:51):
loves the Cubs.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Also his reaction to the Cubs like, I mean, what
was his response? How'd they do?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
By the way, Oh lost both games? You went to?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
What do you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
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
(03:21):
been there, that's the star of the franchise. That's the
star of the team. And it's just there's nothing like it.
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 fact that they've
(03:44):
got that venue and that atmosphere when you go there,
it's awesome. So it was fun 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, 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 got all of it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And it comes from the mom's side.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Gotta 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. It's too hot, you know,
we don't you know. She brought her mom with her,
(04:28):
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,
(04:50):
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 like a
(05:11):
chance with multiples. 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, dude,
how do Bradi and LeVar do it? Man? I don't
it is I don't like that is a testing of
your pace. That's going to be the most stressful part
of the entire trip. Like if you can get through that,
(05:32):
it seems like everything else is good. And then parents
just look like they were worn out by the time.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Pretty much.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
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 you
can't fit exact damn I can't fit. You're add right,
(06:00):
more little child in there, like good luck. But yeah,
everyone's really looking at you as you walk down the
aisle of going good luck pal, like thanks man, good
luck pal.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Not so cute good luck pal. Yeah, that is part.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I didn't think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It is tidy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And the fact that you guys would have to like
go take the kids in there and and uh and
do all that is just that feels.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Like, you know, there are some there are some flight
attendants though, that will look and be like, oh, she's fine,
they're good.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'm like, no, she's not.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
She's four years old. She's too short to even reach
the latch 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 what's what's this
man doing with this young child?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
That's my daughter? Yeah, I have three of them.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
I know it's I know it's odd now like people
have multiple kids, Like it seems odd to people. I
have three kids. We actually have a fourth. So there's
just there's just a whole train of kids coming your way.
Just get used to it, lady.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Which, by the way, when nature calls them kids at
a and age, they not worried about what the flight
attendant has to say or anything like that, or daddy's
saying it's gonna be okay, like we'll get there.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
You better beat it. You better beat the clock.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
You better beat the clock, because then now it gets
even worse because it's like, well, what.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Are you doing? What are you doing? Just two more seconds?
We can't get two more seconds? No, hold on, hold on.
Now you go from having to do the restroom in
the restroom in the body to now you have to
(07:38):
go up over top.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You you gotta find a change of clothes or you
go into cause they're not there have been accidents where
they're not baby babies, right, so you don't have like
a baby bag for them.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
They had an accident.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
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 uh, it's it's a rite
of passage, is what. Because you can laugh at it now,
but in the moments.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You can cry.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You you can be stressed out to like a heart
attack or a stroke like it's it's no, it's not
it's no gang, it is no game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I will say this though, once you become a parent,
your patience and empathy for other parents in situations like
that goes.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
To look at them like it's like that hold that
that cup up in the glass in the air.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How can I help a right or wearing 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, or.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
They look at you they say it'll be okay. They
give you that it'll be okay. Look like you look
at them like, yeah, it'll be okay, Like I.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Was worried about so on the Friday they have.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
This feel sends on the airline, by the way, m
because because every airline's got different customers there, if it's Southwest,
they know what they're signing up for.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I know we should beating Southwest.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's what I took I took Southwest. Maybe problem problem
solved the.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Time as a nightmare in a Southwest flight.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
I'm sorry, but every every passager nose that's a possibility. Okay,
you go on one of the domestic if you a Delta, like, oh, sorry,
this is Delta. Can you please get your kid off
the plane. Man, we're at thirty thousand feet. I cannot
calm down. It's like it's Delta, we're here for business.
It's Delta. Then if it's American, they'll probably just find
(09:30):
some weird way of charging you more money for your ticket, right,
they'll be like a feed there'll be something involved. May
by the way, you lost these points because your kid
was loud on the plane. We we penalize you, we
find you. That's more American style, by the way, and
if on United, they will literally beat your child as
you go down the autor just beat the child all
the way off the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And if it's Spirit, they'll let them fly the plane
for a couple of minutes. Yeah, I don't work'll figure
it out. Yeah we're good. Nobody paid for this flight.
And 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 on Friday,
(10:12):
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 that
are playing catch with their dad and this one guy
so he just no, I like grown kids. I misspoke.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
So he.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Like 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. I dealt with the same crap. We're all, hey,
(10:50):
we get it, don't worry about it.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
You're good.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm like, okay, I just you know, I just want
to make sure he's not kissing you guys off you're
trying to play catch and all that. So it was fun,
but yeah, it is. It is interesting to see he
gets older and you travel the empathy level that other
parents have for their parents.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Are you basically just exposed to 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 2 (11:13):
So excited he was. He was so excited.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Was a cocker spaniel. Dude.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He loved it, like he just he could not get
an outside.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And it makes me wonder, how many times have you
ever taken the kid on the kids on a trip.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is the first one that he kind of gets
what's going on. He was real 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 it's not who got a backyard? So it's
(11:52):
probably the most grass he's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It is he take him to a park. I mean
that is possible. Bring my uncle Varr's house too. You know,
you could do that. There's a pool here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, well that's not gonna happen. Listen, Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah that's I mean, but at least I've made the
invitation now to both of you and to lead the lap,
so well you know.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I'm going to be there, to be in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yes you expected?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Who these two white dudes with long hair on. I
don't know. Let me look the sun.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
I feel like my commented yesterday. The text the group
text chain kind of killed the conversation. But honestly, I
was like, dude, Lee, at some point, man, we got
to grow up. I don't know what you're doing in
your free time, but hanging out with Todd's not gonna
get you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There was that a twister exhibit you guys radly?
Speaker 8 (12:51):
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 grab as much money as
you can. It's one of those things that I think about,
is Todd like forty, No, Todd's younger than me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Okay, I mean it's just screaming. As a grown adult.
I was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm I'm laughing at it. Pratty's first reaction is you
got to like get some kids or something.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Like something needs to be interjected into your life to
force you to grow up, like it's time.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's time. Man.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
After witnessing that, listen, do you guys giggle?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Figured that's funny.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I'm like, what grown a dolt is doing that in
the afternoon on a weekday?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Right after that, by those are big Jonas Knox fans, right,
I mean you gotta think, isn't that what Jonas is?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Like? Lifelong like dream?
Speaker 9 (13:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I would love it.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
So they were like thinking about it, like, let's plan
out something that Jonas would enjoy.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Left to go to a tornado.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
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 5 (14:08):
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 2 (14:22):
I mean that, Yeah, that's that's the best part.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I'd rather the 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 4 (14:36):
I'd love to be in.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
A stressful scenario with all of us just to see
how you all would react.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
How you think we react? I know we're late, but
how do you think?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
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 get this scenario, how
do you think we would reac Okay, I'll say, well,
don't exclude yourself by the way.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Okay, we're all hanging out and uh, there's a tornado,
so we'll just we'll play on the twisters this on twister. Uh,
Lee would have panic, but it would be like delayed panic,
and it would be one in.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Which, yeah, it's delayed a little bit.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
It would be slowed panic because he's a little intox
kidd its motor skills, so he would be like, man.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
It's a tornado really coming, dude, Yeah it really is windy.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Man, it closed the doors, dude. It's like.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
So Lee would be die man, stumbling around trying to
figure out like what like what to do? All right,
I think LeVar would probably be pretty chill about it,
but at the same time it'd be one of those
like now we got to get the hell out of here,
and he'd probably be trying to, like, I don't know,
to go outside, get his car and leave or whatever else.
(16:00):
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
like at his phone and not really quite sure what
to do. And I would just tell you guys to
go to the basement. Like that would be more how
I'd react to I'd probably be laughing.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'd leave mostly, I.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Mean I'd try and be getting a connection so we
could do the show from there.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Actually, I take that back. Jonas would be on radio, so.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I would absolutely bring the comrades and be like, hey,
we gotta do Hey.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
He'd be calling Shappy to be able to be like, hey, Shappy,
when when LeVar bring you die, I'm gonna take their show, Shappy.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Scott Shapiro's now vaulted the Shappy after four ta see.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I think I would turn into Maguiver, like like you
get that share over there, get those things right there,
grab grab the toolbox. We gotta we gotta create with gallup.
So you think that, man, Well, I'll be over in
the corner like I'm hurt.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Someone's gonna pick me up. Jonas, let's go ground As.
We had the window open with his shirt with his
chest out, like.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I gotta see it, man, I gotta see it.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
And Lee would be on the floor looking up my
Jonah's like is it there?
Speaker 10 (17:30):
Is it there?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Man? Torn up? Can you see it? Can you see anybody?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You gotta leave some kids or something.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Lee would be like, hey man, is that Helen Hunt?
Like what's happening?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
You know my dad? You know my dad did a
tornado exhibit. Then he gets sucked up into the sky.
It's last we Lee in the choyster like, hey man,
hey man, so bad? Yeah? The best taught to be
(18:05):
right there. It got me earlier. Man, we're together. What
took you so long to get here?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just like Brady's Brady's final solution to lease day drinking
is like, you gotta get kids. Please get a kid.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
I mean, I don't even want Lee to get like
a dog because I'm a little concerned about that situation.
Like you need something that's going to grow and be
able to talk back to Lee to like get him
like going in the right direction.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You tweeted out you and Todd and the tornado. Se
I did, Yes, I did? Has heard on two pros
and a couple joke, all right, well, listen to lots
of lots about it more.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
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. And then I'd probably get sucked up in
it too. I'm gone, Yeah, join us would be doing
radio while he gets sucked up into it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Oh what a way to go out though.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But LaVar would survive. LaVar would be fine. He would
just be somewhere. I don't know what you'd be doing,
but he would be fine. He'd be the only one
that survived.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, I actually would have had I would have headed
for hopefully what would be a.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Bathtub that was big enough to.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
Fit me in there we get under a staircase or
something early down in the basement.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
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.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
You're basically in a boat. If that thing picks you up,
you're just flowing around in a boat there.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I mean, hey, okay, hey, hey, well listen, it is
a two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
I definitely want to go into a storm den. But
if you don't have a den, what's the next best
thing in the house?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bath of it.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I'm going in a bathtub, man. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
And I could be the worst and be wrong for it,
but you know what, I'll be up in that air
talking well, I took a chance.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I took a chance.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah you did, all right.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I'm trying to connect the dots on something myself, right
because sports, Yeah, because uh, Stefan Diggs is no longer
a remember the Buffalo Bills, and it sure it sure
seems like, you know, if he wanted to be there,
and that that's like a pretty good quarterback, pretty good team,
(21:26):
pretty good situation. He had some pretty good years. Yet
he's not there anymore. And I've been trying to figure
out why he's not there and why the Bills needed
to get rid of him, because they just said, look,
we'll eat it. It's more to not have him here
than to have him here this year, so we'll just
wear it and then he can move on and find
other places. And so Steffan Diggs spoke at Bills or
(21:49):
Texans Mini camp rather yesterday, and I can't because I
don't know why it didn't work out. I thought, you know,
maybe there was something with Josh Allen that was the problem.
Barently I this according to Stevan, I.
Speaker 10 (22:02):
Don't know if they sent me in to Buffalo with
the most condess you know, with the most great intent.
But Oswell inswell, you know when I got the Buffalo,
Josh's you know, Josh is still my guy.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
You know what I'm saying, Like people don't.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
Really understand what it's like to be out there, you
know what I'm saying. And he really he really embraced me,
you know what I'm saying. He kind of had the
Southern hospitality, you know what I'm saying. So for me,
he embraced me, spent a lot of time, and I
probably wouldn't be right here if it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know, I got I got a lot of love
for that boy. So I'll give my hug and a
kiss from that. I mean, it seems like.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Digs from Maryland, Yes, is that considered south close? I
mean I would say Virginia south Maryland's like you're not
considered more East coast. Just saying regards to Southern hospitality.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Liked he kind of put it on there for the
folks at Houston and h Town that.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
My family they've been felt a little bit like the
fellow the tongue in cheek maybe, And and Josh Allen
isn't from the South either, isn't he from Wyoming?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
No, Yeah, I'm not really. Yeah, I feel like it
was kind of maybe just trying to connect with the media.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Then what do you think, like maybe uh, grooving me
and my family.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
We missed my man, Josh Allen and all that Southern
hospitality that he extended to us while we was there,
because it wasn't the greatest of intentions that I was
sent there.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Hold on my family. I ain't ready to lose yet.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, y'all, y'all think he was just trying to, uh,
you know, play it up a little bit like there's
no issues.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I mean, Houston is Southern hospitality, that's that is Southern
for certain.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I just if you like the guy that much and
he's approven established quarterback.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Is he pointing? Is he putting the spotlight on someone else?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Because I think what you said is what really really
is intriguing when you think back to the conversations.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
That were had by the GM by the Bills when
they let him go.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
We were just going to eat it now instead of waiting.
Let's just eat it now, Like, what do you mean
eat it? If he's if he's performing, he's your best receiver. Right,
what are you getting rid of him for because you
don't want to pay him. You got to pay him anyway,
you're going to eat it, So why would you get
(24:32):
rid of them?
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Or they already or they already did eat it, right,
they already did pay him, but they still have to
pay the price for what they paid him on their
salary cap.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Whether he's there or not.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
It may have been somebody in the front office that
was turned off by Stephan Diggs and what they perceived
to be maybe how he handled things.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
It may have not have been a player to player thing.
It might have been a player to an exec thing.
That might have been.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
He was trying to put the spotlight on by saying
what he's saying. I'm gonna say it's not Josh Allen.
I'm just not going to say who it is. That's
the reason why I'm not there. But it ain't Josh Allen.
Just so y'all know that's my boy. Give him a hug,
give him a kiss, Southern hospitality. Uh, But it's somebody
else that is the reason why I'm not happy in
(25:21):
Buffalo or not in Buffalo anymore, and why they didn't
want me in Buffalo anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I also think it may be more of this. He's
on a one year deal now.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
The last thing you want to do at this point
in time in your career if you're Stefan Diggs, is
be looked at as a guy who has any sort
of you know, stigma attached to him at thirty years old,
that he's got, you know, any sort of baggage or
any sort of issues, because if you're recall when he
left Minnesota, there is some reports and some rumors about that.
(25:55):
Then he goes to Buffalo, gets paid, by the way,
they paid him eighty million dollars during his time there.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Jeez.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
So he's made over one hundred million dollars in his
NFL career thus far, and rightfully so, he's been a
fantastic wide receiver. But now he leaves Buffalo and we're like,
wait a second, why, I mean, he was productive, he
was their number one. This is a team that competed
against the Chiefs to try to go to a Super Bowl.
In ways, it feels like him not being there now
(26:23):
is a step back for the Bills. Now you have
to rely on a rookie and Keon Coleman, you have
to rely on Curtis Samuel, you have to rely on
all the other people they brought on at the wide
receiver position by committee to help replace what you lost
from him in production and schematically, it changes things.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
If I'm a defense there's no one right now that
scares me at wide receiver for them. The tight ends
between Knox and Dalton Concaid.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
You might look at his different mismatches, but there's no
number true, number one that you're gonna put your cornerback
on and match him or roll coverage two in key
scenarios of the game. So it changes the dynamics and
skim out of what the game looks like. Until LaVar's point,
you were gonna pay him regardless. He's thirty one million
against their cap this year. That's their dead cap hit.
(27:10):
Why couldn't they have just restructured it into a one
year deal.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I don't get it, man, Why did he do that?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
What do you have to do with Houston?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Like?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
That's what doesn't make sense in all of this is
there has to be something more behind the scenes that
went on to where he'd be now on his third team,
after being so productive over the entirety of his course
of a career, but now being in a couple of
different places. And I think when you listen to him talk,
he's probably cognizant of the fact that this is a
(27:37):
big time year for you. You're with a quarterback and CJ.
Stroud who can help you ball out and get to
that two, three four. You know, however long of a
deal that we want to sign that's got a bigger
payday as a part of it, Like it might not
be a four year deal, but it could be a
three year deal that's got thirty four to thirty two
million average annual value to it.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
If you bowl out this year the way we think
you can, and so the right exactly exactly, don't upset
nobody up top.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So it must have been that bad in Buffalo behind
the scenes that this had to happen, because they are
a worse team now than they were when that playoff
game ended in January.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
You got to pay him the money and you didn't
upgrade your team, which means that it was better to
have addition by subtraction with Stefan Diggs to someone that
was making the decision, and by the way, a decision where.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
We're saying we're going to just eat it. He didn't
say he didn't just say like he said we we
Gabe Davis is gone.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Like it just it just feels like there was This
was a group This was a group conversation that GM
needed some support and what he was feeling, or somebody
somebody needed support, or maybe they all together felt like
we need to get rid of Stephan Diggs. That's what
that sounds like to me. It doesn't sound like that
(29:06):
that was player the player. It sounds like you needed
to get rid of Stephan Diggs because something about him
or something that may have happened, or the way they
felt about him being in that building. It cost it
more to pay him and get him out of here.
It was more to do that than to just say, okay,
(29:29):
let's restructure. They could have very easily came out, came
out in the media and said, you know what, we
tried to restructure Stephan Diggs. We tried to make this
thing work with Steph. He wants to move on. This
is what we're going to do, and that's this is
how it's going to happen. They didn't say that. They
basically made it clear he had to go.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
He had to go.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
So this was another quote from Stefan Diggs. He said, quote,
we had some ups and downs, especially after the first
eight games. We got a coach and shift and different
things going different ways, different schemes, you know, the ups
and downs of it. I kind of felt like in
the air a little bit. I told God to light
my path, and here I am. He makes no mistakes,
so you know, just he's taking shots.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
He's also preaching of the Bible belt down there in Houston.
Speaker 12 (30:17):
As well, and my family every Sunday had playbook. Now
make sure you're on Sunday school. Now we all preach
about God down there. Hospitality, now, wrestle stairs.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Hey, next, he's going to start talking about the barbecue there.
I'm just telling yeah, well we'll talk about the trill burgers.
What up, Bud. He'll be getting to the trill wrap
now more, start that chopped and screw chop chop.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Is Virginia really considered the South?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yes, Virginia is the South.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
From Virginia, Yeah, I do declar, Well that's that's that
mean that's is it that dude declared more New Orleans
home walls?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, I think the South starts at North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Personally, Virginia is like, what a shouty shout we're going
on with your shoudy?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hold on a second, Lee, why do you have your
glasses on?
Speaker 13 (31:26):
Leae?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
What's the point?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Lee? Why?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Why do you have your Why do you have your
glasses on? What is the point?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
They fell?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
They fell over? What do you mean they fell over?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
He's asking why you have him on in the first place?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No, just like he literally had his shades on it.
He was dancing to some music that was going on
the other it's just a shouty in his head, shouty
which sings that song?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
What am I thinking of?
Speaker 13 (31:51):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Who does that show? Shady? I know what you said.
I don't know why I'm black.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
But gives that metal band kiss of Death you were
talking about Brady maybe to that one.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
It's no, No, it's Plas, it's Plas. It might be Plaz.
I might be both of them.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Yeah, who.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
We'll put some Kiss of Death coming back?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Thank you guys. Somebody nobody wants.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I don't know if it should be if it's not
it should be.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
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 a m. Eastern three am Pacific.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Speaking of another Wednesday tradition, and apparently it's a daily tradition.
The takeover was real and he's back the old pe
on Twitter is where you can find him, Petro's Papadgas,
the Cost of the Petros and Money show, which you
can hear on the Blowtorch, and five seventy l a
sports Fox college football analyst p how to go. You're
(33:00):
thoughts on having to work daily with LeVar and Brady,
It was fine.
Speaker 13 (33:03):
And it was we had a good time. You know,
it's not easy getting up and then doing the other
show in the afternoon, as you know.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Jonas.
Speaker 13 (33:11):
Yeah, uh but I only did an hour and that's
all I was allowed to do, so we had a
good time. I thought it went okay. There were some controversies.
Brady got a little upset about a comment or two
that I made was that what was that upset about
Petro's well, about the size of his head, which which
(33:34):
we did come to find out that Petros doesn't come.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
To find out anything.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Well, we did.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
We discovered this because Petros doesn't like acknowledging the fact
that he actually wears a bigger size hat. But then
we had led us to the conclusion that he thinks
my head's just longer, not necessarily bigger than his, because
his looks like a medicine Well.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I mean, I think, well, no, that's not what I said.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
That's like you said.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Toothpick.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Well, that's true, but that's the conclusion we came to.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
No, no, no, I'm not gonna they're gonna put words
in my mouth when I'm the gas now.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Which is the exact same thing you just did to me, Petro. Bang.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
No, listen, here's what the Brady got buttered. Because his
head looks like a shoe box.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I would rather have a shoe bodies I'm not laughing,
but a medicine ball.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
I think we should.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
The true measurement is.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Hot shoe box of medicine ball. So we have to
do that.
Speaker 13 (34:29):
We have to do the we have to do the
we have to do the measurement where you know, like
they used to measure our body fat on the football team.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
They have to put it in him a vat of water.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
They do it with heads. They're gonna use the little squeeze.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
The caliber were dense. My god, remember the calipers.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
They squeeze ups.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
That is a did you guys like?
Speaker 13 (35:01):
We had this kinesiology department at USC, which is in
the Ppe Building, which is this ancient building at USC
that it used to have all the locker rooms and
all that when my dad played there. In fact, the
building is so old they had the nineteen thirty two Olympics.
The pool in that building is the one from the
(35:23):
movie Cocoon you've never seen.
Speaker 14 (35:26):
Yeah, yeah, there, it's an indoor pool at USC, and
it's classic because it's from the thirties.
Speaker 13 (35:35):
Actually did a lot of rehab there. But there's all
these weird rooms in that old building. And they used
to take us into the building to measure our body
fat where they put you in the vat of water.
And they didn't realize that like half the dudes on
the team, well not half, but a lot of dudes
were not comfortable swimming, and it just became a real
(35:58):
I can't see how anybody got accurate measurement on.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
With all the splashing and thrashing around.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
It was a mess.
Speaker 13 (36:05):
But I think that would be the true mark of
being able to measure whose head is in fact the
biggest between Brady, we will we will.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Set this up. I'll fly out to La to set
this up.
Speaker 13 (36:17):
There has to be a bucket of water, and it's
a measure of the spill the overs.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Hey, what size hat do you wear?
Speaker 13 (36:28):
Petros seven and five eighths? Okay, but you know if
I shaved my shut up telling I'm Bruce Boch. You
shut up, Brady just because your head comes up like
a pin like a bottle.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Thanks for coming.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
Haws and then good Year blim couldn't use your head
today to floor shut out the golf tournaments.
Speaker 13 (36:50):
Yeah, you don't even know where the Goodyear blimp takes off. Carson, California.
It's not there's what parts in Ohio.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
It's a lot.
Speaker 13 (37:01):
There's only one. It's Carson, Cali one an accurate California.
Ohio's a live.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Used every day, going to Long Beach every day.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Carson.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
You're delusial for getting nailed by the king. This was.
Speaker 13 (37:15):
And the and the Goodyear Blimp flies over the only
amusement park that matters Disneyland and knots. Oh yeah, now
that is not true anyway. That's what happened while you
were gone just about this. A lot of this paints.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Petros did an amazing job, as he always does, stepping
into it.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
He putting his ol flare on it. It was awesome.
It was a lot of fun. Yeah, he stepped into it.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I mean, Petros. From what I'm seeing here, we finally
have the answer, and it looks like the Lakers are
zeroing in on JJ Reddick as their head coach. Can
you believe it? Because I thought for sure this was
going to go in another direction, but apparently the wording
being used is that there's zeroing in on him, and
(37:58):
that Lebron James, as you put a Pee, is lamad
about Kyrie Irving not being his teammate anymore. So we
have figured out a way to get the Lakers in
the finals somehow, some way. Congratulations to your friends at
the Bus Family on their job well done here, Pee.
Speaker 13 (38:15):
Can you believe that le Judas is lay mad about
ley betrayal toy from like ten years ago?
Speaker 6 (38:24):
You know, it's really funny. We had Robert Orion yesterday and.
Speaker 13 (38:29):
You guys know Robert or of course yeah, of course
Big seven Championships and all that.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
And Robert or is interesting because he has a son
who played.
Speaker 13 (38:38):
Big time Southern California high school basketball and has committed
to Mick Cronin and UCLA, so he knows about Brownie
and all that too. And we asked him about the
JJ Reddick thing and he called him a reach around code.
Speaker 14 (38:54):
Oh wow, oh wow, he wait and that way, wait,
who's NICKI is no Robert orri He said that JJ
Reddick was a reacher.
Speaker 13 (39:07):
Oh my god, and uh yeah, and then he was like,
broddy James six three. I could tell you wasn't six
three my son six three. And I was like, damn
or Yeah, yeah, get it. Robert or joining us courtesy
a bet online.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
What else you got?
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Really?
Speaker 6 (39:27):
I like the Mavericks in five. Uh he was awesome.
Speaker 13 (39:30):
Uh and uh it was. It was pretty funny. But
you're starting to hear people with a little bit of pushback.
It's not like they're reading the tea leaves, but you're
starting to hear people that are also getting tired of
being mailed by the king.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
And they didn't even live here in La Uh.
Speaker 13 (39:48):
But I mean, hire whoever you want do whatever you want,
act however you want, but stop acting like it wasn't
you that did it, right, Stop hiding behind all of
these different executives that you act. I mean, it's he's
doing the same thing with Kyrie. Well I'm mad I didn't,
but I'm not playing with Kyrie. It's like, well it
(40:08):
was because of you in the first place.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
It's you know, a Reacher.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
That's crazy, right, that's crazy. I mean I heard it
all on radio yeah and said.
Speaker 7 (40:21):
That if I was to tell you that Kyrie Irvin
actually has a player option after next season, with that
shock you or surprise you?
Speaker 13 (40:28):
No, I mean I don't know that. But why would
he want to? Like why do you want to go
back to play with Lebron? Like why would you want
to go back to do that?
Speaker 7 (40:36):
That's a great question, but it's not one that I
think in this I guess when I when I watched
what you were in responded to on X yesterday, I
think it's more of a plead from Lebron that maybe
he's trying to make sure Kyrie knows that he wants
to play with him again.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
But your question is fair, like why would you want
to go back to that?
Speaker 7 (40:55):
At that point time in Kyrie's career, given where he's
at now with the Mavericks.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
This this is all I mean, it's terrible.
Speaker 13 (41:02):
The NBA has ruined their schedule, and obviously with the
two conference championships that went faster than they would want
them to. And this long gap between the end of
the finals and the end of the conference finals, in
the beginning of the NBA Finals, which is still one
night away written in cursive, It's horrible, it really is.
(41:30):
And so what has become the storylines, the twenty four
hour storylines? Whatever Lebron wants to say on his podcast
that becomes circulated national.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
News in the.
Speaker 13 (41:43):
Car wash of the twenty four hour news media, and
this WNBA tit for tat back and forth, steven A
and Chinee or whatever the girl's name is yelling at
each other.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
You know, it's sad, that's not our name.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I don't believe so, Molly, Oh, I don't know. That's
the you're talking about this studio show?
Speaker 13 (42:07):
Yeah, whatever, it is, like, that's you know, I turn
on my thing. It's like Kendrick Perkins says this about
Caitlin Clark. I said, this is what was said about
Angel rees, and it's like, my god, what are you
guys doing to yourselves? Schedule this better. I mean, I
know there's hockey games or whatever, and I know that
there's concerts at these venues, but we got.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
To do this a little bit better. We have like
two weeks of.
Speaker 13 (42:30):
Nothing to talk about before we fall into the crevass
of baseball and the football summertime in earnest.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
Did you just say Crevis yes or Cravass yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:43):
I mean the way you said it was way more
high high society, but I was like just making sure
you meant Crevis.
Speaker 7 (42:50):
Crevass Petro's I want to pick your brain just about
We read the story earlier and Netflix is struggling to
sell advertising for their Christmas Day games that they picked
seventy Does this shock you at all, as like streaming
services get more involved in the TV world and just
how this all works in live sports.
Speaker 13 (43:10):
I'm not that smart about this stuff, but I go
to the Fox Seminar every year at least I'm barely
hanging on, and last year was really interesting to me
because they had somebody up there. I think it was
Rupert Murdoch, Sun or you know, one of these high
ranking Television global executives, and it's it's funny because they said,
(43:37):
all of these companies have created these streaming services, whether
it's Hulu or Netflix or I mean name some other ones, Amazon, Paramount, Apple,
plus they all are losing money. They are all sinking
billions and billions of dollars to make these streaming things work.
(43:58):
Because Netflix was so successful when it started. Where Fox
and because of the political angles or whatever of the
news these days, people feel it's unsavory or something to
mention Fox News, but just purely mentioning it as a
live news company, right or Sky which is what they
(44:20):
do in Australia and in Europe. Yes, Sky News they pivoted.
They don't have a streaming service. So Fox got out
of all that, got smaller, pivoted to do only live
news and live sports, and they're not losing money. So
(44:41):
I mean, when you mentioned that, that's what comes into
my mind is that kind of macro simplistic thing where
the Fox people were like, look, we're not doing this
because everybody else is losing money and trying to throw
a football game on here, trying to throw this on
there to push their streaming services. But the truth is
(45:02):
I mean, what do you do if you have a
game on Netflix or Amazon, NFL whatever it is. You
watch the game and they inundate you and push you
with whatever commercials for whatever show they have, right, Yeah,
and like this will make everybody watch Ted Lasso, you know,
or whatever, And it doesn't really work that way, not really.
(45:24):
I mean, people just want to watch a game, and
I don't know how much it helps you when you
get your advertising advertising and maybe people will watch your
shows or buy this streaming service, but those things are
going in the wrong direction, and I don't know if
sports will be able to put enough fingers in the
dike to plug the holes of a financial I guess
(45:49):
what would you say, hemorrhaging, which is from what I
understand what's happening with a lot of those services. So
it doesn't surprise me because I was awake for that
part of the seminar.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Hey Pee, I know, I know we only have a
couple of minutes left, but I want to touch on something.
You want to make room for the BQ news. I
know we don't want to go too. It's better than
are you in or are you out right? That's probably true.
Would you rather be sticky or itchy or itchy?
Speaker 6 (46:18):
Well, I don't know what would Jonah say? Wait a second,
was that one that was one of them waiting to
come on at four fifty in the morning, And I'm like,
I can't. I don't think I could do this.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Pets. You guys went number two all over our games.
Speaker 5 (46:37):
You guys talked the other day about USC and Lincoln Rally,
and Q had made a point at that it wasn't
a successful tenure for him thus far. You kind of
pushed back on it. It made me wonder, I guess
I wanted to follow up on how important is this
year for Lincoln Rally in terms of could this be
(47:01):
a hot seat year for the rally?
Speaker 4 (47:04):
It doesn't have a good year, yes, looking at it?
Speaker 6 (47:07):
Okay, wow, yeah, I mean look at last year.
Speaker 13 (47:11):
Last year is one of the most disappointing years in
USC football history, coming off a Heisman winner, an offseason
pumping up this player talking about I think they started
out as a top five team in the country and.
Speaker 6 (47:26):
It was less than less than worse. I mean it
was bad.
Speaker 13 (47:31):
So if they if they have any kind of season
like that again, if he's a five hundred coach again
and they don't show a bunch of promise with the
new quarterback and the new defense. Yeah, he's gonna be
on the hot seat. He's got a brand new quarterback,
he's got a new ad that didn't hire him, and
obviously massive challenges and a new conference. Did you see
(47:52):
that Joel Klatt came out and supported Colin Cowherd in
his blasphemy. Did you see that about getting rid of
the USC Notre Dame rivalry? How are we going to
handle Joel Clott?
Speaker 7 (48:02):
Joel takes a shot at Notre Dame every summer, every
off season.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
It has to include them.
Speaker 6 (48:09):
At some point with you a few times.
Speaker 7 (48:12):
Yeah, And and the reality is is, and I hate
to admit this, I wonder if some of the motivation
is behind wanting to get one of the blue blood's
a big brand out there, right, Like it's like you're
always going to talk about the Cowboys, we talk about
the Lakers, we talk about Lebron like those continually come
up in news cycles because they're polarizing, people want to
talk about them. That doesn't really have much weight to it.
(48:35):
But if that's what Southern Kap wants to do, that's
what Southern Cap wants to do. I don't think Notre
Dame will have any shortage.
Speaker 13 (48:40):
Well, just because Colin Cowhard and Joel Klatt say something
about us, he does that mean that's what USC wants
to do.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
Damn it's a valid question. But there'll be no shortage
of suitors though for for that rivalry. Uh, you know,
if if Michigan wants to bring back an annual rivalry
or someone in that nature. So again, Penn State, there
you go make.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
That was a big one. That was a big one. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (49:01):
Well, if we're not gonna have SC play Notre Dame,
what are we gonna do? Why are we even playing
college football anymore?
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Well, we're gonna stop caring about USC more so than anything.
Speaker 5 (49:10):
Oh geez, if we replaced it with Ohio State, Michigan
or Penn State, then people will be like, why are
we paying attention to USC?
Speaker 4 (49:18):
I will say this Petros, and don't joke it.
Speaker 7 (49:21):
I will say this stuff because there is a bit
of a sense on the West coast of like, hey,
you know, USC isn't what it was when Matt and
Reggie were there.
Speaker 4 (49:29):
But I think there's a lot of people who.
Speaker 13 (49:31):
Live, well, USC wasn't what it was that fifteen years
before Matt and Reggie were there.
Speaker 7 (49:35):
I mean, sure, but I'm just saying there's a lot
of people who are still living in that. And I
think the problem is is like they've had if they
didn't move to the Big ten. Like to me, even
though they were holding up the Pac twelve, they're getting
lost a little bit as you look at the Ohio States,
the Michigan's, the Georgia's, the Bamas of the world start
to really carry the rest of college football. And I
think that's one of the things that I mean, Look,
(49:58):
I don't sit here and I don't wear my cardinal
and gold very much, but we're talking about a team
they had a Heisman Trophy winner and we're playing in
a game for the playoff.
Speaker 13 (50:09):
Like thirteen or fourteen months ago. You know, I mean, okay,
but what were they doing before that? Well, they had
to fire the coach. You know, they paid one hundred
million dollars a year a new coach. They get that
to themselves, and you went through a decade, right, Well, yeah,
they did to itselves. But you're only furthering my point.
Speaker 7 (50:26):
You went through a decade of I guess you'd say
mediocrity however you want to put it, but not playing
to the standard of what a lot of people feel
like the Matt Reggie that area was even with Pete
Carroll and the success they had in that run in
that time in the early two thousands, and so, all
I'm saying is, I think there's become this thought or
a little bit of if they don't want to play
those rillies, that's fine, but you're going to start to
(50:48):
fall by the wayside As far as the big boys
of college.
Speaker 13 (50:51):
Well, who said they don't want to play the rivalries.
I mean, it's just well, Colin Caller, that's what I'm saying.
You're making Colin Coward went to Eastern Washington and Joel
went to Colorado. Sure, like, I mean, we got coach Prime.
My thing is my thing is I don't care what
us he was like a decade ago. I don't care
what us he was like fifty years ago. I don't
care what us he is like now. I don't care
(51:11):
what Notre Dame is like. I don't even care if
they don't if they stop being Catholic, USC and Notre
Dame have to play.
Speaker 4 (51:20):
Doesn't stand your point, I get it. I don't think.
Speaker 7 (51:23):
Not one from Notre Dame sits saying we don't want
to play Southern cal and no one from.
Speaker 6 (51:27):
USC is saying that they don't want to play.
Speaker 13 (51:29):
No coward's got an aunorary degree. I think it's so
he doesn't his team has red turf. Joel Clatt helped
get coach Prime hired. I don't want his advice about
an intersectional rivalry that's been going on for over one
hundred years, just saying all these Southern California people converted
in the Trojans, that's what's happened here.

Why do you submit your song? Then?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I just, I mean, are we ready to go? Do

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Yours, we've already moved on from Yeah, well you take
too long?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
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 at 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 (01:32):
Yeah, it was over the weekend. It was six Your
trip to Transylvania was good.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Here's the only question by your vacate coffin. How did
it work out for you?
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Hey, you pale dog?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Extra one question for you, Jonas?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Did you take off your show Saturday?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Did you really?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Oh wow, legitimately took time off.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, it took time off, but uh yeah that probably
would be happening again.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Times are changing, boy, they said Jonas Knoxa never changed.
I said, I know, I told you I never changed.
But when I got that contract for two Pros and
Cup of Joe, I was lying, rich bitch, Damn.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now it's good. Uh, you know, it's good to be
with the family. I want I want to spend some
night with the family. Yeah. Completely, Uh, just disengage. Disengage
from next year.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
This time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's like the Olympics. Try four years, it's uh never.
Just completely disconnect from social media all that stuff. You
just don't need it and just hang out with the fam.
And I got to go to Chicago and have a
good time, and you know, take take my son to
a couple of Cubs games with like he loves baseball,
(02:51):
loves the Cubs.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Also his reaction to the Cubs like, I mean, what
was his response? How'd they do?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
By the way, Oh lost both games? You went to?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
What do you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
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
(03:21):
been there, that's the star of the franchise. That's the
star of the team. And it's just there's nothing like it.
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 fact that they've
(03:44):
got that venue and that atmosphere when you go there,
it's awesome. So it was fun 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, 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 got all of it.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And it comes from the mom's side.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Gotta 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. It's too hot, you know,
we don't you know. She brought her mom with her,
(04:28):
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,
(04:50):
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 like a
(05:11):
chance with multiples. 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, dude,
how do Bradi and LeVar do it? Man? I don't
it is I don't like that is a testing of
your pace. That's going to be the most stressful part
of the entire trip. Like if you can get through that,
(05:32):
it seems like everything else is good. And then parents
just look like they were worn out by the time.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Pretty much.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
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 you
can't fit exact damn I can't fit. You're add right,
(06:00):
more little child in there, like good luck. But yeah,
everyone's really looking at you as you walk down the
aisle of going good luck pal, like thanks man, good
luck pal.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Not so cute good luck pal. Yeah, that is part.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I didn't think about that.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It is tidy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
And the fact that you guys would have to like
go take the kids in there and and uh and
do all that is just that feels.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
Like, you know, there are some there are some flight
attendants though, that will look and be like, oh, she's fine,
they're good.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'm like, no, she's not.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
She's four years old. She's too short to even reach
the latch 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 what's what's this
man doing with this young child?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
That's my daughter? Yeah, I have three of them.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
I know it's I know it's odd now like people
have multiple kids, Like it seems odd to people. I
have three kids. We actually have a fourth. So there's
just there's just a whole train of kids coming your way.
Just get used to it, lady.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Which, by the way, when nature calls them kids at
a and age, they not worried about what the flight
attendant has to say or anything like that, or daddy's
saying it's gonna be okay, like we'll get there.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
You better beat it. You better beat the clock.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
You better beat the clock, because then now it gets
even worse because it's like, well, what.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Are you doing? What are you doing? Just two more seconds?
We can't get two more seconds? No, hold on, hold on.
Now you go from having to do the restroom in
the restroom in the body to now you have to
(07:38):
go up over top.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You you gotta find a change of clothes or you
go into cause they're not there have been accidents where
they're not baby babies, right, so you don't have like
a baby bag for them.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
They had an accident.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
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 uh, it's it's a rite
of passage, is what. Because you can laugh at it now,
but in the moments.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
You can cry.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You you can be stressed out to like a heart
attack or a stroke like it's it's no, it's not
it's no gang, it is no game.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I will say this though, once you become a parent,
your patience and empathy for other parents in situations like
that goes.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
To look at them like it's like that hold that
that cup up in the glass in the air.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
How can I help a right or wearing 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, or.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
They look at you they say it'll be okay. They
give you that it'll be okay. Look like you look
at them like, yeah, it'll be okay, Like I.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Was worried about so on the Friday they have.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
This feel sends on the airline, by the way, m
because because every airline's got different customers there, if it's Southwest,
they know what they're signing up for.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I know we should beating Southwest.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's what I took I took Southwest. Maybe problem problem
solved the.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Time as a nightmare in a Southwest flight.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
I'm sorry, but every every passager nose that's a possibility. Okay,
you go on one of the domestic if you a Delta, like, oh, sorry,
this is Delta. Can you please get your kid off
the plane. Man, we're at thirty thousand feet. I cannot
calm down. It's like it's Delta, we're here for business.
It's Delta. Then if it's American, they'll probably just find
(09:30):
some weird way of charging you more money for your ticket, right,
they'll be like a feed there'll be something involved. May
by the way, you lost these points because your kid
was loud on the plane. We we penalize you, we
find you. That's more American style, by the way, and
if on United, they will literally beat your child as
you go down the autor just beat the child all
the way off the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And if it's Spirit, they'll let them fly the plane
for a couple of minutes. Yeah, I don't work'll figure
it out. Yeah we're good. Nobody paid for this flight.
And 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 on Friday,
(10:12):
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 that
are playing catch with their dad and this one guy
so he just no, I like grown kids. I misspoke.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
So he.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Like 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. I dealt with the same crap. We're all, hey,
(10:50):
we get it, don't worry about it.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
You're good.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm like, okay, I just you know, I just want
to make sure he's not kissing you guys off you're
trying to play catch and all that. So it was fun,
but yeah, it is. It is interesting to see he
gets older and you travel the empathy level that other
parents have for their parents.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
Are you basically just exposed to 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 2 (11:13):
So excited he was. He was so excited.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Was a cocker spaniel. Dude.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
He loved it, like he just he could not get
an outside.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And it makes me wonder, how many times have you
ever taken the kid on the kids on a trip.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
This is the first one that he kind of gets
what's going on. He was real 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 it's not who got a backyard? So it's
(11:52):
probably the most grass he's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It is he take him to a park. I mean
that is possible. Bring my uncle Varr's house too. You know,
you could do that. There's a pool here.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, well that's not gonna happen. Listen, Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah that's I mean, but at least I've made the
invitation now to both of you and to lead the lap,
so well you know.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I'm going to be there, to be in your backyard.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yes you expected?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Who these two white dudes with long hair on. I
don't know. Let me look the sun.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
I feel like my commented yesterday. The text the group
text chain kind of killed the conversation. But honestly, I
was like, dude, Lee, at some point, man, we got
to grow up. I don't know what you're doing in
your free time, but hanging out with Todd's not gonna
get you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There was that a twister exhibit you guys radly?
Speaker 8 (12:51):
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 grab as much money as
you can. It's one of those things that I think about,
is Todd like forty, No, Todd's younger than me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Okay, I mean it's just screaming. As a grown adult.
I was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm I'm laughing at it. Pratty's first reaction is you
got to like get some kids or something.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Like something needs to be interjected into your life to
force you to grow up, like it's time.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
It's time. Man.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
After witnessing that, listen, do you guys giggle?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Figured that's funny.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
I'm like, what grown a dolt is doing that in
the afternoon on a weekday?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Right after that, by those are big Jonas Knox fans, right,
I mean you gotta think, isn't that what Jonas is?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Like? Lifelong like dream?
Speaker 9 (13:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I would love it.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
So they were like thinking about it, like, let's plan
out something that Jonas would enjoy.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Left to go to a tornado.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
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 5 (14:08):
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 2 (14:22):
I mean that, Yeah, that's that's the best part.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I'd rather the 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 4 (14:36):
I'd love to be in.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
A stressful scenario with all of us just to see
how you all would react.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
How you think we react? I know we're late, but
how do you think?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
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 get this scenario, how
do you think we would reac Okay, I'll say, well,
don't exclude yourself by the way.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Okay, we're all hanging out and uh, there's a tornado,
so we'll just we'll play on the twisters this on twister. Uh,
Lee would have panic, but it would be like delayed panic,
and it would be one in.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Which, yeah, it's delayed a little bit.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
It would be slowed panic because he's a little intox
kidd its motor skills, so he would be like, man.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
It's a tornado really coming, dude, Yeah it really is windy.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Man, it closed the doors, dude. It's like.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
So Lee would be die man, stumbling around trying to
figure out like what like what to do? All right,
I think LeVar would probably be pretty chill about it,
but at the same time it'd be one of those
like now we got to get the hell out of here,
and he'd probably be trying to, like, I don't know,
to go outside, get his car and leave or whatever else.
(16:00):
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
like at his phone and not really quite sure what
to do. And I would just tell you guys to
go to the basement. Like that would be more how
I'd react to I'd probably be laughing.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'd leave mostly, I.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Mean I'd try and be getting a connection so we
could do the show from there.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Actually, I take that back. Jonas would be on radio, so.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I would absolutely bring the comrades and be like, hey,
we gotta do Hey.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
He'd be calling Shappy to be able to be like, hey, Shappy,
when when LeVar bring you die, I'm gonna take their show, Shappy.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Scott Shapiro's now vaulted the Shappy after four ta see.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I think I would turn into Maguiver, like like you
get that share over there, get those things right there,
grab grab the toolbox. We gotta we gotta create with gallup.
So you think that, man, Well, I'll be over in
the corner like I'm hurt.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
Someone's gonna pick me up. Jonas, let's go ground As.
We had the window open with his shirt with his
chest out, like.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I gotta see it, man, I gotta see it.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
And Lee would be on the floor looking up my
Jonah's like is it there?
Speaker 10 (17:30):
Is it there?
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Man? Torn up? Can you see it? Can you see anybody?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You gotta leave some kids or something.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Lee would be like, hey man, is that Helen Hunt?
Like what's happening?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Man?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
You know my dad? You know my dad did a
tornado exhibit. Then he gets sucked up into the sky.
It's last we Lee in the choyster like, hey man,
hey man, so bad? Yeah? The best taught to be
(18:05):
right there. It got me earlier. Man, we're together. What
took you so long to get here?
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just like Brady's Brady's final solution to lease day drinking
is like, you gotta get kids. Please get a kid.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
I mean, I don't even want Lee to get like
a dog because I'm a little concerned about that situation.
Like you need something that's going to grow and be
able to talk back to Lee to like get him
like going in the right direction.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
And it didn't work.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You tweeted out you and Todd and the tornado. Se
I did, Yes, I did? Has heard on two pros
and a couple joke, all right, well, listen to lots
of lots about it more.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
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. And then I'd probably get sucked up in
it too. I'm gone, Yeah, join us would be doing
radio while he gets sucked up into it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Oh what a way to go out though.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But LaVar would survive. LaVar would be fine. He would
just be somewhere. I don't know what you'd be doing,
but he would be fine. He'd be the only one
that survived.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, I actually would have had I would have headed
for hopefully what would be a.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
Bathtub that was big enough to.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
Fit me in there we get under a staircase or
something early down in the basement.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
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.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
You're basically in a boat. If that thing picks you up,
you're just flowing around in a boat there.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I mean, hey, okay, hey, hey, well listen, it is
a two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
I definitely want to go into a storm den. But
if you don't have a den, what's the next best
thing in the house?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bath of it.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I'm going in a bathtub, man. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
And I could be the worst and be wrong for it,
but you know what, I'll be up in that air
talking well, I took a chance.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I took a chance.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah you did, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:15):

We've all used different tools. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay
Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast on the radio app, Apple
podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I'm trying to connect the dots on something myself, right
because sports, Yeah, because uh, Stefan Diggs is no longer
a remember the Buffalo Bills, and it sure it sure
seems like, you know, if he wanted to be there,
and that that's like a pretty good quarterback, pretty good team,
(21:26):
pretty good situation. He had some pretty good years. Yet
he's not there anymore. And I've been trying to figure
out why he's not there and why the Bills needed
to get rid of him, because they just said, look,
we'll eat it. It's more to not have him here
than to have him here this year, so we'll just
wear it and then he can move on and find
other places. And so Steffan Diggs spoke at Bills or
(21:49):
Texans Mini camp rather yesterday, and I can't because I
don't know why it didn't work out. I thought, you know,
maybe there was something with Josh Allen that was the problem.
Barently I this according to Stevan, I.
Speaker 10 (22:02):
Don't know if they sent me in to Buffalo with
the most condess you know, with the most great intent.
But Oswell inswell, you know when I got the Buffalo,
Josh's you know, Josh is still my guy.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
You know what I'm saying, Like people don't.
Speaker 10 (22:14):
Really understand what it's like to be out there, you
know what I'm saying. And he really he really embraced me,
you know what I'm saying. He kind of had the
Southern hospitality, you know what I'm saying. So for me,
he embraced me, spent a lot of time, and I
probably wouldn't be right here if it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know, I got I got a lot of love
for that boy. So I'll give my hug and a
kiss from that. I mean, it seems like.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Digs from Maryland, Yes, is that considered south close? I
mean I would say Virginia south Maryland's like you're not
considered more East coast. Just saying regards to Southern hospitality.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Liked he kind of put it on there for the
folks at Houston and h Town that.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
My family they've been felt a little bit like the
fellow the tongue in cheek maybe, And and Josh Allen
isn't from the South either, isn't he from Wyoming?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
No, Yeah, I'm not really. Yeah, I feel like it
was kind of maybe just trying to connect with the media.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Then what do you think, like maybe uh, grooving me
and my family.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
We missed my man, Josh Allen and all that Southern
hospitality that he extended to us while we was there,
because it wasn't the greatest of intentions that I was
sent there.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Hold on my family. I ain't ready to lose yet.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, y'all, y'all think he was just trying to, uh,
you know, play it up a little bit like there's
no issues.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I mean, Houston is Southern hospitality, that's that is Southern
for certain.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I just if you like the guy that much and
he's approven established quarterback.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Is he pointing? Is he putting the spotlight on someone else?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Because I think what you said is what really really
is intriguing when you think back to the conversations.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
That were had by the GM by the Bills when
they let him go.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
We were just going to eat it now instead of waiting.
Let's just eat it now, Like, what do you mean
eat it? If he's if he's performing, he's your best receiver. Right,
what are you getting rid of him for because you
don't want to pay him. You got to pay him anyway,
you're going to eat it, So why would you get
(24:32):
rid of them?
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Or they already or they already did eat it, right,
they already did pay him, but they still have to
pay the price for what they paid him on their
salary cap.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Whether he's there or not.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
It may have been somebody in the front office that
was turned off by Stephan Diggs and what they perceived
to be maybe how he handled things.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
It may have not have been a player to player thing.
It might have been a player to an exec thing.
That might have been.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
He was trying to put the spotlight on by saying
what he's saying. I'm gonna say it's not Josh Allen.
I'm just not going to say who it is. That's
the reason why I'm not there. But it ain't Josh Allen.
Just so y'all know that's my boy. Give him a hug,
give him a kiss, Southern hospitality. Uh, But it's somebody
else that is the reason why I'm not happy in
(25:21):
Buffalo or not in Buffalo anymore, and why they didn't
want me in Buffalo anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I also think it may be more of this. He's
on a one year deal now.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
The last thing you want to do at this point
in time in your career if you're Stefan Diggs, is
be looked at as a guy who has any sort
of you know, stigma attached to him at thirty years old,
that he's got, you know, any sort of baggage or
any sort of issues, because if you're recall when he
left Minnesota, there is some reports and some rumors about that.
(25:55):
Then he goes to Buffalo, gets paid, by the way,
they paid him eighty million dollars during his time there.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Jeez.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
So he's made over one hundred million dollars in his
NFL career thus far, and rightfully so, he's been a
fantastic wide receiver. But now he leaves Buffalo and we're like,
wait a second, why, I mean, he was productive, he
was their number one. This is a team that competed
against the Chiefs to try to go to a Super Bowl.
In ways, it feels like him not being there now
(26:23):
is a step back for the Bills. Now you have
to rely on a rookie and Keon Coleman, you have
to rely on Curtis Samuel, you have to rely on
all the other people they brought on at the wide
receiver position by committee to help replace what you lost
from him in production and schematically, it changes things.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
If I'm a defense there's no one right now that
scares me at wide receiver for them. The tight ends
between Knox and Dalton Concaid.
Speaker 7 (26:47):
You might look at his different mismatches, but there's no
number true, number one that you're gonna put your cornerback
on and match him or roll coverage two in key
scenarios of the game. So it changes the dynamics and
skim out of what the game looks like. Until LaVar's point,
you were gonna pay him regardless. He's thirty one million
against their cap this year. That's their dead cap hit.
(27:10):
Why couldn't they have just restructured it into a one
year deal.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I don't get it, man, Why did he do that?
Speaker 4 (27:15):
What do you have to do with Houston?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Like?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
That's what doesn't make sense in all of this is
there has to be something more behind the scenes that
went on to where he'd be now on his third team,
after being so productive over the entirety of his course
of a career, but now being in a couple of
different places. And I think when you listen to him talk,
he's probably cognizant of the fact that this is a
(27:37):
big time year for you. You're with a quarterback and CJ.
Stroud who can help you ball out and get to
that two, three four. You know, however long of a
deal that we want to sign that's got a bigger
payday as a part of it, Like it might not
be a four year deal, but it could be a
three year deal that's got thirty four to thirty two
million average annual value to it.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
If you bowl out this year the way we think
you can, and so the right exactly exactly, don't upset
nobody up top.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So it must have been that bad in Buffalo behind
the scenes that this had to happen, because they are
a worse team now than they were when that playoff
game ended in January.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
You got to pay him the money and you didn't
upgrade your team, which means that it was better to
have addition by subtraction with Stefan Diggs to someone that
was making the decision, and by the way, a decision where.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
We're saying we're going to just eat it. He didn't
say he didn't just say like he said we we
Gabe Davis is gone.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Like it just it just feels like there was This
was a group This was a group conversation that GM
needed some support and what he was feeling, or somebody
somebody needed support, or maybe they all together felt like
we need to get rid of Stephan Diggs. That's what
that sounds like to me. It doesn't sound like that
(29:06):
that was player the player. It sounds like you needed
to get rid of Stephan Diggs because something about him
or something that may have happened, or the way they
felt about him being in that building. It cost it
more to pay him and get him out of here.
It was more to do that than to just say, okay,
(29:29):
let's restructure. They could have very easily came out, came
out in the media and said, you know what, we
tried to restructure Stephan Diggs. We tried to make this
thing work with Steph. He wants to move on. This
is what we're going to do, and that's this is
how it's going to happen. They didn't say that. They
basically made it clear he had to go.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
He had to go.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
So this was another quote from Stefan Diggs. He said, quote,
we had some ups and downs, especially after the first
eight games. We got a coach and shift and different
things going different ways, different schemes, you know, the ups
and downs of it. I kind of felt like in
the air a little bit. I told God to light
my path, and here I am. He makes no mistakes,
so you know, just he's taking shots.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
He's also preaching of the Bible belt down there in Houston.
Speaker 12 (30:17):
As well, and my family every Sunday had playbook. Now
make sure you're on Sunday school. Now we all preach
about God down there. Hospitality, now, wrestle stairs.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Hey, next, he's going to start talking about the barbecue there.
I'm just telling yeah, well we'll talk about the trill burgers.
What up, Bud. He'll be getting to the trill wrap
now more, start that chopped and screw chop chop.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Is Virginia really considered the South?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yes, Virginia is the South.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
From Virginia, Yeah, I do declar, Well that's that's that
mean that's is it that dude declared more New Orleans
home walls?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, I think the South starts at North Carolina.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Personally, Virginia is like, what a shouty shout we're going
on with your shoudy?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hold on a second, Lee, why do you have your
glasses on?
Speaker 13 (31:26):
Leae?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
What's the point?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Lee? Why?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Why do you have your Why do you have your
glasses on? What is the point?
Speaker 4 (31:34):
They fell?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
They fell over? What do you mean they fell over?
Speaker 4 (31:38):
He's asking why you have him on in the first place?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
No, just like he literally had his shades on it.
He was dancing to some music that was going on
the other it's just a shouty in his head, shouty
which sings that song?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
What am I thinking of?
Speaker 13 (31:51):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Who does that show? Shady? I know what you said.
I don't know why I'm black.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
But gives that metal band kiss of Death you were
talking about Brady maybe to that one.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
It's no, No, it's Plas, it's Plas. It might be Plaz.
I might be both of them.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Yeah, who.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
We'll put some Kiss of Death coming back?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Thank you guys. Somebody nobody wants.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
No.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I don't know if it should be if it's not
it should be.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
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 a m. Eastern three am Pacific.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Speaking of another Wednesday tradition, and apparently it's a daily tradition.
The takeover was real and he's back the old pe
on Twitter is where you can find him, Petro's Papadgas,
the Cost of the Petros and Money show, which you
can hear on the Blowtorch, and five seventy l a
sports Fox college football analyst p how to go. You're
(33:00):
thoughts on having to work daily with LeVar and Brady,
It was fine.
Speaker 13 (33:03):
And it was we had a good time. You know,
it's not easy getting up and then doing the other
show in the afternoon, as you know.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Jonas.
Speaker 13 (33:11):
Yeah, uh but I only did an hour and that's
all I was allowed to do, so we had a
good time. I thought it went okay. There were some controversies.
Brady got a little upset about a comment or two
that I made was that what was that upset about
Petro's well, about the size of his head, which which
(33:34):
we did come to find out that Petros doesn't come.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
To find out anything.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Well, we did.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
We discovered this because Petros doesn't like acknowledging the fact
that he actually wears a bigger size hat. But then
we had led us to the conclusion that he thinks
my head's just longer, not necessarily bigger than his, because
his looks like a medicine Well.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I mean, I think, well, no, that's not what I said.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
That's like you said.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Toothpick.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Well, that's true, but that's the conclusion we came to.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
No, no, no, I'm not gonna they're gonna put words
in my mouth when I'm the gas now.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Which is the exact same thing you just did to me, Petro. Bang.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
No, listen, here's what the Brady got buttered. Because his
head looks like a shoe box.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I would rather have a shoe bodies I'm not laughing,
but a medicine ball.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
I think we should.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
The true measurement is.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Hot shoe box of medicine ball. So we have to
do that.
Speaker 13 (34:29):
We have to do the we have to do the
we have to do the measurement where you know, like
they used to measure our body fat on the football team.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
They have to put it in him a vat of water.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
They do it with heads. They're gonna use the little squeeze.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
The caliber were dense. My god, remember the calipers.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
They squeeze ups.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
That is a did you guys like?
Speaker 13 (35:01):
We had this kinesiology department at USC, which is in
the Ppe Building, which is this ancient building at USC
that it used to have all the locker rooms and
all that when my dad played there. In fact, the
building is so old they had the nineteen thirty two Olympics.
The pool in that building is the one from the
(35:23):
movie Cocoon you've never seen.
Speaker 14 (35:26):
Yeah, yeah, there, it's an indoor pool at USC, and
it's classic because it's from the thirties.
Speaker 13 (35:35):
Actually did a lot of rehab there. But there's all
these weird rooms in that old building. And they used
to take us into the building to measure our body
fat where they put you in the vat of water.
And they didn't realize that like half the dudes on
the team, well not half, but a lot of dudes
were not comfortable swimming, and it just became a real
(35:58):
I can't see how anybody got accurate measurement on.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
With all the splashing and thrashing around.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
It was a mess.
Speaker 13 (36:05):
But I think that would be the true mark of
being able to measure whose head is in fact the
biggest between Brady, we will we will.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Set this up. I'll fly out to La to set
this up.
Speaker 13 (36:17):
There has to be a bucket of water, and it's
a measure of the spill the overs.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Hey, what size hat do you wear?
Speaker 13 (36:28):
Petros seven and five eighths? Okay, but you know if
I shaved my shut up telling I'm Bruce Boch. You
shut up, Brady just because your head comes up like
a pin like a bottle.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Thanks for coming.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
Haws and then good Year blim couldn't use your head
today to floor shut out the golf tournaments.
Speaker 13 (36:50):
Yeah, you don't even know where the Goodyear blimp takes off. Carson, California.
It's not there's what parts in Ohio.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
It's a lot.
Speaker 13 (37:01):
There's only one. It's Carson, Cali one an accurate California.
Ohio's a live.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Used every day, going to Long Beach every day.
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Carson.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
You're delusial for getting nailed by the king. This was.
Speaker 13 (37:15):
And the and the Goodyear Blimp flies over the only
amusement park that matters Disneyland and knots. Oh yeah, now
that is not true anyway. That's what happened while you
were gone just about this. A lot of this paints.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Petros did an amazing job, as he always does, stepping
into it.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
He putting his ol flare on it. It was awesome.
It was a lot of fun. Yeah, he stepped into it.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I mean, Petros. From what I'm seeing here, we finally
have the answer, and it looks like the Lakers are
zeroing in on JJ Reddick as their head coach. Can
you believe it? Because I thought for sure this was
going to go in another direction, but apparently the wording
being used is that there's zeroing in on him, and
(37:58):
that Lebron James, as you put a Pee, is lamad
about Kyrie Irving not being his teammate anymore. So we
have figured out a way to get the Lakers in
the finals somehow, some way. Congratulations to your friends at
the Bus Family on their job well done here, Pee.
Speaker 13 (38:15):
Can you believe that le Judas is lay mad about
ley betrayal toy from like ten years ago?
Speaker 6 (38:24):
You know, it's really funny. We had Robert Orion yesterday and.
Speaker 13 (38:29):
You guys know Robert or of course yeah, of course
Big seven Championships and all that.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
And Robert or is interesting because he has a son
who played.
Speaker 13 (38:38):
Big time Southern California high school basketball and has committed
to Mick Cronin and UCLA, so he knows about Brownie
and all that too. And we asked him about the
JJ Reddick thing and he called him a reach around code.
Speaker 14 (38:54):
Oh wow, oh wow, he wait and that way, wait,
who's NICKI is no Robert orri He said that JJ
Reddick was a reacher.
Speaker 13 (39:07):
Oh my god, and uh yeah, and then he was like,
broddy James six three. I could tell you wasn't six
three my son six three. And I was like, damn
or Yeah, yeah, get it. Robert or joining us courtesy
a bet online.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
What else you got?
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Really?
Speaker 6 (39:27):
I like the Mavericks in five. Uh he was awesome.
Speaker 13 (39:30):
Uh and uh it was. It was pretty funny. But
you're starting to hear people with a little bit of pushback.
It's not like they're reading the tea leaves, but you're
starting to hear people that are also getting tired of
being mailed by the king.
Speaker 6 (39:45):
And they didn't even live here in La Uh.
Speaker 13 (39:48):
But I mean, hire whoever you want do whatever you want,
act however you want, but stop acting like it wasn't
you that did it, right, Stop hiding behind all of
these different executives that you act. I mean, it's he's
doing the same thing with Kyrie. Well I'm mad I didn't,
but I'm not playing with Kyrie. It's like, well it
(40:08):
was because of you in the first place.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
It's you know, a Reacher.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
That's crazy, right, that's crazy. I mean I heard it
all on radio yeah and said.
Speaker 7 (40:21):
That if I was to tell you that Kyrie Irvin
actually has a player option after next season, with that
shock you or surprise you?
Speaker 13 (40:28):
No, I mean I don't know that. But why would
he want to? Like why do you want to go
back to play with Lebron? Like why would you want
to go back to do that?
Speaker 7 (40:36):
That's a great question, but it's not one that I
think in this I guess when I when I watched
what you were in responded to on X yesterday, I
think it's more of a plead from Lebron that maybe
he's trying to make sure Kyrie knows that he wants
to play with him again.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
But your question is fair, like why would you want
to go back to that?
Speaker 7 (40:55):
At that point time in Kyrie's career, given where he's
at now with the Mavericks.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
This this is all I mean, it's terrible.
Speaker 13 (41:02):
The NBA has ruined their schedule, and obviously with the
two conference championships that went faster than they would want
them to. And this long gap between the end of
the finals and the end of the conference finals, in
the beginning of the NBA Finals, which is still one
night away written in cursive, It's horrible, it really is.
(41:30):
And so what has become the storylines, the twenty four
hour storylines? Whatever Lebron wants to say on his podcast
that becomes circulated national.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
News in the.
Speaker 13 (41:43):
Car wash of the twenty four hour news media, and
this WNBA tit for tat back and forth, steven A
and Chinee or whatever the girl's name is yelling at
each other.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
You know, it's sad, that's not our name.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I don't believe so, Molly, Oh, I don't know. That's
the you're talking about this studio show?
Speaker 13 (42:07):
Yeah, whatever, it is, like, that's you know, I turn
on my thing. It's like Kendrick Perkins says this about
Caitlin Clark. I said, this is what was said about
Angel rees, and it's like, my god, what are you
guys doing to yourselves? Schedule this better. I mean, I
know there's hockey games or whatever, and I know that
there's concerts at these venues, but we got.
Speaker 6 (42:27):
To do this a little bit better. We have like
two weeks of.
Speaker 13 (42:30):
Nothing to talk about before we fall into the crevass
of baseball and the football summertime in earnest.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
Did you just say Crevis yes or Cravass yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:43):
I mean the way you said it was way more
high high society, but I was like just making sure
you meant Crevis.
Speaker 7 (42:50):
Crevass Petro's I want to pick your brain just about
We read the story earlier and Netflix is struggling to
sell advertising for their Christmas Day games that they picked
seventy Does this shock you at all, as like streaming
services get more involved in the TV world and just
how this all works in live sports.
Speaker 13 (43:10):
I'm not that smart about this stuff, but I go
to the Fox Seminar every year at least I'm barely
hanging on, and last year was really interesting to me
because they had somebody up there. I think it was
Rupert Murdoch, Sun or you know, one of these high
ranking Television global executives, and it's it's funny because they said,
(43:37):
all of these companies have created these streaming services, whether
it's Hulu or Netflix or I mean name some other ones, Amazon, Paramount, Apple,
plus they all are losing money. They are all sinking
billions and billions of dollars to make these streaming things work.
(43:58):
Because Netflix was so successful when it started. Where Fox
and because of the political angles or whatever of the
news these days, people feel it's unsavory or something to
mention Fox News, but just purely mentioning it as a
live news company, right or Sky which is what they
(44:20):
do in Australia and in Europe. Yes, Sky News they pivoted.
They don't have a streaming service. So Fox got out
of all that, got smaller, pivoted to do only live
news and live sports, and they're not losing money. So
(44:41):
I mean, when you mentioned that, that's what comes into
my mind is that kind of macro simplistic thing where
the Fox people were like, look, we're not doing this
because everybody else is losing money and trying to throw
a football game on here, trying to throw this on
there to push their streaming services. But the truth is
(45:02):
I mean, what do you do if you have a
game on Netflix or Amazon, NFL whatever it is. You
watch the game and they inundate you and push you
with whatever commercials for whatever show they have, right, Yeah,
and like this will make everybody watch Ted Lasso, you know,
or whatever, And it doesn't really work that way, not really.
(45:24):
I mean, people just want to watch a game, and
I don't know how much it helps you when you
get your advertising advertising and maybe people will watch your
shows or buy this streaming service, but those things are
going in the wrong direction, and I don't know if
sports will be able to put enough fingers in the
dike to plug the holes of a financial I guess
(45:49):
what would you say, hemorrhaging, which is from what I
understand what's happening with a lot of those services. So
it doesn't surprise me because I was awake for that
part of the seminar.
Speaker 4 (46:01):
Hey Pee, I know, I know we only have a
couple of minutes left, but I want to touch on something.
You want to make room for the BQ news. I
know we don't want to go too. It's better than
are you in or are you out right? That's probably true.
Would you rather be sticky or itchy or itchy?
Speaker 6 (46:18):
Well, I don't know what would Jonah say? Wait a second,
was that one that was one of them waiting to
come on at four fifty in the morning, And I'm like,
I can't. I don't think I could do this.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Pets. You guys went number two all over our games.
Speaker 5 (46:37):
You guys talked the other day about USC and Lincoln Rally,
and Q had made a point at that it wasn't
a successful tenure for him thus far. You kind of
pushed back on it. It made me wonder, I guess
I wanted to follow up on how important is this
year for Lincoln Rally in terms of could this be
(47:01):
a hot seat year for the rally?
Speaker 4 (47:04):
It doesn't have a good year, yes, looking at it?
Speaker 6 (47:07):
Okay, wow, yeah, I mean look at last year.
Speaker 13 (47:11):
Last year is one of the most disappointing years in
USC football history, coming off a Heisman winner, an offseason
pumping up this player talking about I think they started
out as a top five team in the country and.
Speaker 6 (47:26):
It was less than less than worse. I mean it
was bad.
Speaker 13 (47:31):
So if they if they have any kind of season
like that again, if he's a five hundred coach again
and they don't show a bunch of promise with the
new quarterback and the new defense. Yeah, he's gonna be
on the hot seat. He's got a brand new quarterback,
he's got a new ad that didn't hire him, and
obviously massive challenges and a new conference. Did you see
(47:52):
that Joel Klatt came out and supported Colin Cowherd in
his blasphemy. Did you see that about getting rid of
the USC Notre Dame rivalry? How are we going to
handle Joel Clott?
Speaker 7 (48:02):
Joel takes a shot at Notre Dame every summer, every
off season.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
It has to include them.
Speaker 6 (48:09):
At some point with you a few times.
Speaker 7 (48:12):
Yeah, And and the reality is is, and I hate
to admit this, I wonder if some of the motivation
is behind wanting to get one of the blue blood's
a big brand out there, right, Like it's like you're
always going to talk about the Cowboys, we talk about
the Lakers, we talk about Lebron like those continually come
up in news cycles because they're polarizing, people want to
talk about them. That doesn't really have much weight to it.
(48:35):
But if that's what Southern Kap wants to do, that's
what Southern Cap wants to do. I don't think Notre
Dame will have any shortage.
Speaker 13 (48:40):
Well, just because Colin Cowhard and Joel Klatt say something
about us, he does that mean that's what USC wants
to do.
Speaker 7 (48:45):
Damn it's a valid question. But there'll be no shortage
of suitors though for for that rivalry. Uh, you know,
if if Michigan wants to bring back an annual rivalry
or someone in that nature. So again, Penn State, there
you go make.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
That was a big one. That was a big one. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (49:01):
Well, if we're not gonna have SC play Notre Dame,
what are we gonna do? Why are we even playing
college football anymore?
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Well, we're gonna stop caring about USC more so than anything.
Speaker 5 (49:10):
Oh geez, if we replaced it with Ohio State, Michigan
or Penn State, then people will be like, why are
we paying attention to USC?
Speaker 4 (49:18):
I will say this Petros, and don't joke it.
Speaker 7 (49:21):
I will say this stuff because there is a bit
of a sense on the West coast of like, hey,
you know, USC isn't what it was when Matt and
Reggie were there.
Speaker 4 (49:29):
But I think there's a lot of people who.
Speaker 13 (49:31):
Live, well, USC wasn't what it was that fifteen years
before Matt and Reggie were there.
Speaker 7 (49:35):
I mean, sure, but I'm just saying there's a lot
of people who are still living in that. And I
think the problem is is like they've had if they
didn't move to the Big ten. Like to me, even
though they were holding up the Pac twelve, they're getting
lost a little bit as you look at the Ohio States,
the Michigan's, the Georgia's, the Bamas of the world start
to really carry the rest of college football. And I
think that's one of the things that I mean, Look,
(49:58):
I don't sit here and I don't wear my cardinal
and gold very much, but we're talking about a team
they had a Heisman Trophy winner and we're playing in
a game for the playoff.
Speaker 13 (50:09):
Like thirteen or fourteen months ago. You know, I mean, okay,
but what were they doing before that? Well, they had
to fire the coach. You know, they paid one hundred
million dollars a year a new coach. They get that
to themselves, and you went through a decade, right, Well, yeah,
they did to itselves. But you're only furthering my point.
Speaker 7 (50:26):
You went through a decade of I guess you'd say
mediocrity however you want to put it, but not playing
to the standard of what a lot of people feel
like the Matt Reggie that area was even with Pete
Carroll and the success they had in that run in
that time in the early two thousands, and so, all
I'm saying is, I think there's become this thought or
a little bit of if they don't want to play
those rillies, that's fine, but you're going to start to
(50:48):
fall by the wayside As far as the big boys
of college.
Speaker 13 (50:51):
Well, who said they don't want to play the rivalries.
I mean, it's just well, Colin Caller, that's what I'm saying.
You're making Colin Coward went to Eastern Washington and Joel
went to Colorado. Sure, like, I mean, we got coach Prime.
My thing is my thing is I don't care what
us he was like a decade ago. I don't care
what us he was like fifty years ago. I don't
care what us he is like now. I don't care
(51:11):
what Notre Dame is like. I don't even care if
they don't if they stop being Catholic, USC and Notre
Dame have to play.
Speaker 4 (51:20):
Doesn't stand your point, I get it. I don't think.
Speaker 7 (51:23):
Not one from Notre Dame sits saying we don't want
to play Southern cal and no one from.
Speaker 6 (51:27):
USC is saying that they don't want to play.
Speaker 13 (51:29):
No coward's got an aunorary degree. I think it's so
he doesn't his team has red turf. Joel Clatt helped
get coach Prime hired. I don't want his advice about
an intersectional rivalry that's been going on for over one
hundred years, just saying all these Southern California people converted
in the Trojans, that's what's happened here.
