Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's the fast of two pros and rating wind and
Jonas knots on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So what was Is it just the flu you got
going on? Or is it was like a cold? Is
it sweeping the house?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
It feels like the flu. It was a war zone
in here on yesterday. Man, Yeah, what happened yesterday evening? Like, well,
I guess the day before evening? It was just I
mean people, Trish was passed out on the kitchen floor
like it was. It was carnage everywhere. Man, wait what
people pen pen is throwing up over here? You know,
(00:42):
it was just I don't know, man, It's crazy, bro.
It was just a lot going on. I'm hurting, like
I felt like, you know, you know how you get
those when you get that that type of illness where
you get extreme hot and cold flashes and you get
you get those sweats and then everything is bothering. Then
(01:04):
your whole body is in pain, like and just achy.
I'm just just super achy. You know what made me
think about Jonas? I started thinking to myself, I'm like,
how do you walk around people who give you germs
to make you feel that way but they don't look
like they feel that way? It start It made me
start thinking, like, with all this technology that they have
(01:26):
out here, you know what they need to do. They
need to come up with an app that connects to
some like like some sunglasses, like some cool looking sunglasses.
And as you're walking through places, it's like stay away,
boom boom, stay away. Like it doesn't need to tell you,
like what their you know, what their affliction is or
(01:46):
whatever their illness is, but just know that if it
can get on you, like if it can handle you
and make you sick, then you need to stay away. Now.
The only problem you have with that is that thing
would probably be going nuts while you're in the air,
you know, on an airplane. Oh yeah, you know what
(02:07):
I mean. So there'd be no way. There'd be no
way around it. But it's just bro I generally get sick,
like when I travel, I mean, but this one was
worse though, Like this this one, I feel pretty bad. Man.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, it feels like there's two different flus going through
the House's the stomach and then the whatever they call that,
the non stomach that you've got. I'll tell you this,
I would rather have the fever in the chills and
throwing up. That's not all and but here's the good
thing about being sick. Okay, don't you feel lean afterwards
because you can't really eat all that much.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You can't really eat, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Man, lean, And that's when you take all your best shots.
Like you just go head down so nobody sees it.
You're sick and just you look like you're carved at
a granite.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I ain't doing no smoking, no nothing, man, just like
just been out of it, just been out of it.
Bro I stayed in bed literally entire day yesterday. So
damn yeah, it's pretty. This one is pretty. This one
got me pretty good. Man.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well listen, I hope everybody at the house feels better,
and you know you'd be back by the pool having
a cocktailer to in no time. Everything's gonna be fine.
Now with that being said, I know there's a lot
of people that are like, man, well he's sick as
he banged up. You guys promised us something yesterday and
hopefully LeVar can deliver. So here we go, LeVar, the
floor is yours. It is time for LeVar Arrington's NBA
(03:31):
Draft grades of the first round. LeVar taking away your
thoughts on the first round of the NBA Draft as
we got to see a bunch of guys and that
nobody's really familiar with.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
And that's what I'll start off by saying, while I
think that these these draft picks are you know, I
thought I thought the picks were good. I think the
one thing I came away with wondering was why are
the top players coming from overseas? Why is why is
(04:04):
France the place where you know your top two guys
are coming from? Like that was my my initial my
initial takeaway. I mean, obviously in ranking and rating the players,
they I mean from from what I can gather and
(04:26):
what I've I've studied on on the guys that they've taken, it's,
you know, they're they're good picks for the teams. It
just seems like to me, my my takeaway was that
is America because it's kind of like that. Isn't it
(04:46):
like that in baseball as well? Isn't it like that
kind of in hockey as well? It's a decentralized sport.
You don't get the best players necessarily from America. Even
though these are you know, these are American considered to
be American sports, Yeah, they're more global in their reach.
(05:07):
So even though I was looking at you know, like
the kid fall into the Lakers at seventeen from from Tennessee,
and you know the kid from Purdue, Zach, what's his baby?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Top ten?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, but I mean, don't you think he might have
should have went higher?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I think in previous years he would he would have
gotten higher.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But I just, you know, I just think that you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Man, just three Frenchmen in the top six, which like
my thought on it was this like for all the
coverage that the Dream Team got back in ninety two
and how great it was, and for anybody that doesn't remember,
I mean it was the story of the Barcelona Olympics,
like following the Dream Team that you like seeing all
(05:56):
those guys playing on the same team. I mean you
had guys that you know, were Hall of Fame players
that weren't really the biggest story, like Larry Bird could
hardly play because his back was so banged up and
so injured. But it was all about building that team
and going to take over the Olympics, and it just
everyone knew what the reality was. Guys were gonna get destroyed.
(06:16):
You had players from other countries getting autographs and getting
their pictures taken with these guys. They were true rock stars.
And one of the things that I think is interesting
to come out of it is that's really where this
all started, Like all the international players and the international influence,
guys like Dirk, guys like Luke, like all it started
from that dream team. So it's almost like, hey, we
(06:39):
want to go take over the world. Literally, we realized
you influenced it to a point to where they they're
not taking over the draft like it's like they've they
loved what they saw and they loved the product so
much that all of a sudden, everybody wanted to play ball.
Everybody wanted to be the next NBA star, and it's
grown the game to a level. The only issue with
(07:02):
that is, yeah, it's great on Draft night and or
it's great on regular season games, and you see guys
like Joker and Luca and Wenby and Jannis and all
these guys playing when they played during the regular season,
But when it comes to events like Draft night, and
we were talking about this yesterday, you don't you're not
as familiar with these guys, but they're familiar with you
(07:23):
because they saw it when it came over in ninety
two for the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It just makes me wonder, you know, I mean, it
just makes me wonder. What does that mean in terms
of the way these kids are being developed? That's my
biggest question. If that's if it's consistently happened happening Wemby
went number one last year, So now you got two
(07:47):
years in a row that it happens and this year
it's one and two. That means there's a trend that's
being started. And what is that? What? Like, what are
they doing there that would lend to them having the
number one overall draft pick in the NBA? What what
(08:08):
are they doing that that development in the US isn't doing.
You know, I start to think about like the institutions
like I amg you know Mount Verdi, you know the
high school, the high schools that are developing these kids.
I'm pretty certain they have clubs, Like they handle athletics
(08:31):
differently abroad, Like you can actually go to school for sports,
like if it's basketball, if it's soccer, if it's you know,
certain certain you know sports, you actually can go to
school for that. Now you're starting to see that become
(08:52):
more of a trend in America now as well. Where
they have those like boarder schools where you or charter
whatever they're called, where where you're able to go there,
you do your home or you do your your books,
you do your class, and then most of the day
is spent working out and doing development for the sport
(09:16):
that you play, like specialized training for that sport in particular.
But I find it to be very interesting that that
that is now a trend. Now. Listen Houston takes read
Shepherd Read Shepherd is a young young fella point guard
god handles freshmen out of Kentucky. I thought that was
(09:42):
I mean, he's he's one of those guys. He's I
believe he's got a pretty good ceiling, but you know,
you have to it all remains to be seen. Right
Stephen Castle from Connecticut, I thought he had a really
good year. He goes to the Spur good defender. You know,
(10:03):
Yukon always puts out some some pretty good talent. You know,
they seem to have good development for players that translate
well into the NBA to Pistons. Take Ron Holland, he's
a guard out of the G League. So now it's
it's just interesting because you don't have these types of elements,
(10:24):
and I always compare things to football, but you don't
have these types of elements in football, Like it just
seems to be more more cut and dry.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
It also, I think showcases how big college football has become,
because I don't want to say that college basketball was
bigger at a certain point, but damn it sure felt
like back in the day that there was, like it
was at least in the same stratosphere because like you know,
(10:55):
those we've talked about it, those Duke teams, the Florida
teams from the early two thousand, all of those teams
were like you knew every one of those guys. You
and LV, you knew all those guys. And now when
it comes to college football, the TV rights, the exposure,
like every single player that's getting drafted, you've either see
the game of his A.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I think that's that's really where the disconnect comes from
the NBA draft where you don't have that, and it
just showcases the bridge that those guys are walking on
to get to the next level, Like you just don't
have that in basketball anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I believe you had two guys from Yukon and two
guys from Kentucky that were in the top ten, and
those were two teams I mean, wow, you you know,
Kentucky kind of came up short and really short with
what they did in the tournament. It still kind of
goes back to the point that Cali Perry, mate, I
(11:55):
do get you ready for the NBA. Yeah, for what
it's worth.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Maybe that's why he's not here. He didn't want to
have to answer for John Calipari getting a guy draft
in the top three.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Again, I believes, But again he's gotten two. He got
two in the top ten, and obviously Yukon they took
it home. They have two in the top ten. So
you're familiar with you know, those guys because you're seeing
them all year and they're more highlighted during the course
of the NCAA basketball season. But for the most and
(12:25):
then obviously we knew we know who Zach Edy is
because of how tall he is, and you know, the
just kind of the storyline.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
What that's really But that's how we should break down.
We should really do a grade on everybody. Just be
like Zach Eddie goes nine to Memphis. You know, biggest
takeaway is he's tall. He's tall, seven four.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Tall tall, But you know, but he was good too.
You know, they went they went on a deep run obviously,
and and had had the opportunity to to win it,
and and then it was largely in part of what
he brought to the table. I mean, he's he has
a I think he has the potential to be a
(13:12):
really really good pro. I don't know that I see
superstar like super superstar type guy like Max Contract guy
and Zach Edie. But but I think he'll be a
good player in the NBA. I think he'll do some
good things. But for the most part, I mean it's
because he's tall, and he's you know his I think
his heritage plays a little bit to do with it too,
(13:33):
Like you know, he's got well, he's got that whole well. Anyways,
I don't want to mess it up, but anyway, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
A good heat check to see if anybody's listening though,
just misrepresent his background about it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fun. But anyway, all in all,
I thought it was interesting. I don't think that anyone
should have been surprised that Brownie wasn't taken in the
first round, because once you get out of all of
the politics, as Petros has said many a times, the
kid wasn't even on the first team in California coming
(14:09):
out of high school as as a top player, Like
I think he was like a second team off CIF
And then he goes to college and obviously, you know
he had the health scare, so you get that, but
nonetheless he wasn't. I don't think anyone that would be
breaking down basketball and breaking down the prospects would have
(14:33):
him as a top prospect. So while it may come
across as maybe disappointing that he didn't go in the
first round and somebody said, well, he's clearly the biggest
NAM prospect on the board now for the next round,
he was the biggest name prospect on the board for
the first round, Yes, you know, but that doesn't mean
(14:54):
that he's the best prospect. And while I think he
will get an opportunity to play in the NBA, I
still think that it's just one of those things where,
if we're being honest with ourselves, these gms and these
teams have to go with the best prospect that they
believe makes their team better. And I don't think that
(15:14):
you change that process just because the kid's name is
Brownie James. And I think we found that out in
last night's draft. Yep, good point.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Hey, what's up, everybody. It's me three time pro bowler

Speaker 2 (16:20):
So there's a lot of people who are driving around
heading to work and they want to know, like, Hey,
what is it like doing morning drive? Like morning radio?
You know, what is it like? What's the atmosphere, like,
what do you got going on? And listen, I'm having
a coffee. You know, it's it's four in the morning
out here in Los Angeles. You know, I'm having a coffee.
Nice Lee and Lorena uh oh, bag of gummy bears.
(16:44):
You know, there's just there's two different worlds that are
that are operating here and uh and they're they're rifling
through a bag of gummy bears. And I believe that
Lorena's got a bag of popcorn as well too. Oh no,
baked lays, so at least they're baked. And at what point?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I found some really old McDonald's fries just sitting out.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
No, do you eat them?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I tested to see how old they were. They were
very old. I uh did not. I spit it out.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Where were they at just sitting over there in the studio? Well,
of course a media why wouldn't they be like yeah,
And that's what I don't say. People complain that there's
cockroaches in the studio, like cockroaches the size of VW
bugs and they can't figure out why that is, Like, yeah,
(17:38):
why is it? Because people leave food out here all
the time, Like what do you expect? It's like this,
there's the best place they can go to.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's a heavy populated area. Yeah, there's food across the streets,
you know, it's just there's a lot of foot traffic,
so to speak at you know what I mean. Everybody's
in on it now. I mean there's there's not just roaches,
there's like there's possums, there's coyotes. You know, everybody's eating you.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Know, I see coyotes in the parking garage more often
than not.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Know, I mean, they they go around, they patrol it.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
By the way, I'd like to give a shout out
now that we're on the subject, to the fine folks
who thought it was a good idea to put money
into building a bridge on the one oh one freeway
out here between Agra and Calabasas, which is the route
I take to come into work. They thought it was
a good idea to put a bridge out there to
save the wildlife in case there's a fire, so they
(18:36):
could have a place to walk across to get away
from everything. And I'd also like to give a shout
out to the animal that was ripped into thirds on
the freeway just a few steps away from that crossing,
because apparently he didn't realize that that was going to
be safety z own just crossing, yeah, cross there and
you don't have to worry about anything. Instead, he decided
to play frog or on the one oh one and
(18:58):
got knifed. Brilliant idea. What a moron, natural selection and
it's fun. You there's nothing natural about that thing getting
ripped in thirds by it by a Ford f one
fifty I think a coyote, but at that state could
(19:25):
have been yeah, that could have been a human being.
I have no idea. It was not an in condition.
So it literally like twenty feet away from this crossing
that they shut the freeway down and spent millions of
dollars to build to save the animals. And that one's like, now,
I'm just gonna go to the to the old fashioned cross,
the one to one myself mode, and next thing you know,
(19:48):
you know, we're having a drive around that side. But
riverside as the folks.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Would say something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But nonetheless, that is the the update here from the
studio Gummy Bears baked lays, and that's pretty much how
they're operating here. It is two pros and a cup
of Joe on Fox Sports Radio LeVar Arrington Jonas Knox
with you now. One of these storylines to watch in
the NFL this upcoming season is in the AFC South,
(20:15):
not whether or not CJ. Stroud is going to have
the same sort of season that he had his rookie year,
or whether or not you've got the Jacksonville Jaguars and
they find themselves after paying Trevor Lawrence all that money,
if they find themselves back in the postseason again, or
whether or not Jeffrey Simmons actually does make comments about
Caleb Williams's fingernails while he plays in Week one. The
(20:39):
other storyline is what are we gonna get from Anthony Richardson,
because apparently he was dealing with fatigue and it was
bothering him towards the end of MIDI camps and OTAs,
but General manager Chris Ballard says shouldn't be an issue.
He was on the GM reshuffle and had this to say.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You'll be full go.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
He was full go all the way up until the
last day of OTAs.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And you know, we had a two heavy throwing sessions
to two days before, and so we backed off a
little bit the last day, and of course, which sends
up anytime you talk about a shoulder in this city,
there's some scars that everybody has. So but he'll be
good to go come training camp.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Do we know whether or not he's gonna be the
goods because it almost feels like this is his rookie
year because he missed majority of last season. He when
he was out there, all that we've the only information
we've got in Anthony Richardson is I mean, he's a
physical freak and when he did play, he was exciting
to watch. But he only played a handful of games
(21:40):
and I think he only finished one because he got
injured in the others. And it's almost like that's storyline
has been kind of, you know, cast aside to where
I look at it and go, this feels like a
guy that's basically entering his rookie year because we have
no idea what we're going to expect from him or
what we're going to get from him.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I think that's where you have to leave it at
this moment, that you have no idea what to expect.
Because there's the health aspect of it, I think I
think there are other elements that play a part. And
if he's going to have a higher level of success.
That could be how you know the offensive line blocks
for him, how you know how they're running game, how
(22:19):
that works for him, how the passing game works for him,
how how the plays are being called. There's just a
lot of there's just a lot of moving parts for
a quarterback to to be able to measure engauge if
if they're going to have success, and not having a
(22:39):
body of a body of work established for him, I
think you have to stay in the in the mindset
of what you just said, like you almost have to
approach it as if he's a rookie because you haven't
seen enough to know if that is going to to
be a you know, win or loss. In terms of
(23:02):
what he's able to do. I would probably I would
probably lean a little bit more towards he'll have success.
But again, the elements that took him out of last
year that should always give somebody pause. When somebody, when
somebody isn't playing because and they're not available because of
(23:24):
their health, then you you have to see them overcome
making it through games and being healthy before you know,
before you can have trust or or have you know,
kind of the confidence that they're going to be around
and again just hearing that all, well, he's having you know,
(23:44):
the issues with what'd you say, getting.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Getting tired, shoulder fatigue, you know, because they had too
heavy throwing sessions.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You know, I wouldn't put too much into that, honestly,
I wouldn't. But again anytime, which it makes you wonder,
why would you even mention that to the media. Sometimes
I just wonder why people mention s to the media, man,
Like why would you say it?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And and also the the I don't know if it
was a swipe, if that would what you would want
to call it, But what he mentioned, I know, you know,
shoulder issues. When people hear that in this toad, they.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Get sensitive around here he's talking about Andrew.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Of course he is like like, I mean, let it go.
It's good to see they've gotten over it.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You know, Like, I just don't understand why you would
even mention it. There's no reason to you know, he's
coming off of a you know, an injured injury season.
Why would you Why is that worth mentioning? Like is
there any context of that? Did he have to mention it?
Like what what was the reasoning for him putting that
(24:51):
out there? Because that's already you're now already wondering about
his health, and then now you've just given more ammunition
for people to wonder about his health even more.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
My thought would be that it was known that he
missed a day or two at OTA's for precautionary reasons,
and was probably asked about.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That, and so precautionary. I mean, he's our franchise quarterback.
We holding him back, no games to be won right now, right. Yeah.
I don't understand why you have to put sometimes the
amount of detail, like to say that detail in June.
(25:37):
I just don't. It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, it's a kind of interesting. And also you know, look,
this would probably be something that Brady would.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Know more about.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But he had the surgery in October. I mean, you know,
it seems like it's been a long time and there's
still issues with fatigue and recovering from it. Like I
don't know, I just I wonder if they're maybe more
concerned than they're letting on, because not to try and
(26:08):
point out that there's a boogeyman in the room or
in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
There, but well, but he did mention the boogeyman got
a hold of Andrew Love.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
And you know, if there is somebody who who could
go mano Imano with the Boogeyman when it comes to
a quarterback having shoulder issues, it's Joe Flacco. And he's
now the backup in Indianapolis. So there is there is that,
you know, defending comeback player of the year old Joey
Flacco is sitting there in India, you know, kind of
waiting his turn if something goes wrong here. So I
(26:38):
don't know, maybe maybe they're feeling like, hey, listen, you
know what, we got our guy. We'll talk openly about
the injury guy, and we got the guy who's going
to fix everything.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
We got the guy.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's kind of it is kind of wild that Joe
Flacco went from no job to it comes back. Yeah,
like he totally in demand and and you makes you like, well,
why wasn't he Like it's not like he retired, Like
it's not like he you know, actively was was, you know,
trying to sit out like like and now you look
(27:08):
at it again and you go and the Jets couldn't
use him yet, like that was really not even an
option or a possibility last year. So now he's in Indianapolis.
He's going to be backing up Anthony Richardson, and we'll
see see whether or not, because who knows. I mean,
Anthony Richardson could could decide he wants to, you know,
be put well, be put under for another ten hours
to get a tattoo, and then if something goes wrong,
(27:29):
then Joe Flacco's got to step up and step in.
So there's that possibility too. But but that is your
your early preview of the Indianapolis colts. Well, you said
you would have been put under if you were.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Getting acupuncher, right, and then like almost like a form
of acupuncture.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Did they put you they give you some sleepy stuff
when you're getting accupuncture.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
No, no, but I'm just said, you got a whole
bunch of needles going in you when you get tattoos.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What's the longest you were put under for a surgery
or anything.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I don't know. You know, I tried to kill myself
on the motorcycle one time in my life, so that
was I'm sure that.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Was a long time, like not literally though, right, No, No,
I wasn't really trying that.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I got you know, that story for another day. Yeah,
but yeah, that was a lot of surgeries that I
had to go through, so I made it was a
long time.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I've always wondered, like I've never been put under for
a surgery or anything, or like.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
A two feel like any time to you just kind
of out right, yeah, you're out of there.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You remember anything?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
You know? How they say, right? You know what I
mean how they say I saw. I saw the light,
and I saw my mom or I saw my dad,
or I saw my ancestors and all that I ain't
see s. I didn't see anything. I didn't feel like
I was going anywhere. I didn't. I wasn't going to
to the hockey sticks down below, I wasn't going to
(28:57):
the to the sky. I didn't feel it anything. I
was just I was, you know, I wouldn't you know
you woke up and saw lights.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, now you're not telling the truth. Well, and I'm
not trying to expose you on the air here, but
I don't think you're telling the truth because you did
see something. What you saw was the Mexican Weather Channel,
is what you saw.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That was after I woke up. It was in my
room from you know, the surgery room. The first thing
I saw when I woke up was lights. But it
wasn't the heavenly lights. It was the lights from the
head lights the surgery. My nurse did have some head lights.
She played football to tackle. Well, hey girl, kind of weird.
(29:52):
Like we we had a we had a very good bond.
You know, she had to watch me, you know what
I mean, if you know what I mean. But that
was The Weather channel came later. Man, Like I was
in my room. I was high off the the you know,
the the drugs they were giving me to keep the
pain down. And I saw Albert Einstein in one of
(30:14):
the paintings that was in the room. It was like
the painting of of of leaves. It was weird, but
I saw Albert Einstein's facing it. I started understanding Spanish
watching the Weather channel, yeah, cause they don't have cable
in hospitals, well at least in that hospital, they didn't
(30:35):
have cable, so which was interesting because if you don't
have cable, how do I get Telemundo? But I don't
know whichever one it was. I don't even remember which
one it was, but their weather channel. I just know
I just kept it on that channel.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Remeber. They were trying to keep you there longer it
would worked for me, like, listen, you know we need
more money. How do we keep me here longer? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Throwing univision bro I was, I was. I was in
that joint for like two in a hour, half weeks
brouh Like that was not fun. If anybody's you're thinking
about doing something like riot motorcycles or doing anything, don't don't.
Don't do anything that's gonna land you in the hospital.
For I couldn't even imagine being locked up, Like, nope,
(31:18):
don't do it. Yeah, don't. You're gonna be bored.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Hey, Lee, got a scooter in Phoenix or a super
Bowl that's.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
A little different. Yeah, that's a tad bit different.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You can't even go with that fast on them.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, on a scooter.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
The only thing you gotta worry about in that neck
of the woods is just kind of having to weave
in and out of heroin needles on the ground.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
It was an issue. So my line, those are generally
next to the curve, the curve of the street, so
you don't have to necessarily like weave through them, but
you should be aware.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Well, that was the coolest thing about Phoenix, man, it
was getting those scooters because they closed off all the streets.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I was just cruising down Main Street. Yeah. That of
all the Super Bowls we've been to, that, by far
and away a was the the worst designed sort of
how to get to where you needed to go because
we weren't that far away from radio and it seemed
like a long ass drive every single time.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Did it really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Well, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It was not because you had.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
To do a swirl around all the blockades like to
get around but if you had but if you had
the scooter boom straight line.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I really liked that smash Burger until he friended us,
hit us with the friend and then y'all gonna keep
eating them while I boycotted him. But now I realized
what our friendship is based off of. Like, y'all just
do what you'll want to do. Man, I'm gonna do
that for the rest of the way.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Good burger is a good burger. Sorry, Brady Riverside.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Sorry var because you and Brady went back and got
he got one too.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Dave, But be honest, damn good burger.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Though it was a damn good burger. I haven't had
one like it since.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, I know you wanted you wanted another one.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
That's how I did big time. But his homies over everything.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
It is about everything.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Right now. Albert Breer is in senior NFL reporter and
lead content strategists at the MMQB. You can get him
on Twitter at Albert Breer a B. What's happening? Good morning.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Morning.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
So we were curious because we were discussing this earlier
this week, this report that came out that Mike McCarthy
is fed up, and I think Tyler Dunn was the
reporter who came out with it, that Tyler that Mike
McCarthy's a little bit fed up with the situation in Dallas.
There are people there who think that you know, every
players you know are going more towards Jerry and that
(33:52):
he's basically just this typical drama that comes with the Cowboys.
My question for you is this, I haven't heard Mike
McCarthy or anybody else dispel any of that stuff. So
does that tell you that there was some validity to
the report from Tyler Dunn.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Now, I mean it tells me that everybody's off for
the summer right now. You know, I think you'll probably
hear Mike McCarthy shoot the report down. Now that doesn't
mean it's not true, but you know, whenever he's available again,
which I would think would be right to start a
training camp, it'll probably be addressed. And you know he'll
deny that ever a problem. And then if they win,
(34:34):
then you know, everybody lacks like nothing ever happened. And
if they lose, then we'll reprise it like everything else.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
You know.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Look, I mean like this is a complicated situation. The
Cowboys are in all the way around. I mean, they
have three high profile maybe the three best players in
our team in contract situations with Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb
and Micah Parsons. And they've got a head coach and
his staff, most of his staff going into contract years.
(35:03):
They're also turny over part of the staff where Dan
Quinn's off to Washington, and there is the new defensive coordinators.
So you know, like there's just a lot of moving
parts there. And you know the fact that Mike McCarthy's
won twelve games three years in a row, and is
in this position where everyone's constantly talking about his job security.
(35:24):
I'm sure it's frustrating to him. On the flip side,
I mean, I had heard going into the playoffs last
year that McCarthy didn't just have to make the best
and had to look good in the playoffs to hold
on to his job. Obviously that didn't happen because they
didn't look great and their only playoff game against Screen Bay.
So I think, you know, it's not a real surprise
(35:45):
to anybody that we're talking about his job status.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Oh wow, that's that's interesting. It'd be interesting. I'm curious
to see if it comes out differently as as we
move forward, if this pops back up, Uh, let's let's
go to Indianapolis. How Anthony Richardson that the GM comes
out and says, you know, it's just arm shoulder fatigue,
(36:10):
nothing to be concerned about. He's full go, and that's fine.
But to me, why even say it? I think that
that's kind of the big question here is why even
say it? If if he's full go, if there's nothing
to worry about, no concerns, no nothing, why even say,
you know, it's due to shoulder fatigue and nothing, no problem,
(36:32):
da Dad. Don't don't use that, and especially don't say, well,
we're extra sensitive around here about shoulders and stuff like that.
Like I just feel like these guys could answer questions
a little bit better than what they do. But why
why even say it in this moment?
Speaker 5 (36:48):
I think sitting in this case, you know, Chris is
trying to be honest, you know, and I think his
experience of going through up with Andrew Locke and you're
remember what a complete bleep show that became where it
was he's coming back, He's not coming back. You know.
Where you get yourself in trouble is when you mislead
(37:09):
people on things like this. And if you were to
mislead some people on something like this and then like
he takes a couple of days off in summer, and
now it like looks like you were lying to everybody,
you know. So if you're just truthfulling straightforward about it,
which I mean, Look, the guy's coming off with surgery,
you know what I mean, and the guy is going
(37:30):
to need breaks and schedule, then you know, I think
you got less complications on the back end of it,
so that I think is the thinking. But look like
I would never I'm done ever like discounting or or
downplaying any sort of shoulder issue for a quarterback. If
(37:52):
the quarterback's got an issue with his throwing shoulder, it
is worth paying attention to, period and of story. Now,
some are more serious than others, obviously, but we've got
too many cases where something that seems small at the beginning,
whether it's Andrew Lock, Cam Newton's whoever you want to
you know, whoever's name you want to use here, We've
got so many cases where it got where a quarterback
(38:13):
throwing shoulder was an issue, and at the beginning we
thought like, this is just something that needs to be managed,
and then lo and behold, a few months, a couple
of years later, we're talking about something more serious. Happens
all the time, you know. So I would say I
would take what Chris Dalla is saying at face value,
(38:34):
but I would never, never again downplay a quarterback going
through an issue with this throwing shoulder.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
He is Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter, Lead Content Strategies
at the MMQB, joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Get him on Twitter at Albert Breer all right, ab
it's time for the weekly because listen to me, there's
a lot of players who want deals. I don't know
that anybody's taken it as personally as Brandon Ayuk and
gone publicly to kind of voices displeasure. Where do we
(39:02):
stand on that. I know they reportedly met recently, but
is there any optimism there's going to be.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
A deal done?
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Yeah? I mean, I think if you want like something
this instructive on this one and go back two years
and look how ugly the thing got with Ebo Samuel
and if you remember, like you want to go back
to that point in time, there was a there was
a time when people are saying, well, it's not even
about the money, it's about the way that the Niners
use him. And he doesn't want to play running back anymore, right, Yeah,
(39:32):
And in the end, like that all wound up becoming
just part of the negotiation. And now actually, over the
last two years, believe it or not, he's averaged more
carries per game than he did. You're leading into that contract,
Nego in twenty twenty one, So he's actually taking on
more damage as a running back now than he was.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
At least he stuck to his guns. You know, everybody
was honest the whole time.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
So my point is, like money, so a lot of things,
you know what I mean? Like so, and I just
think like this is a part of a normal negotiation,
you know. Ultimately, I do think that the Niners, if
they had their brothers, would choose keeping brand and Ayyuk
over keeping Deebo Samuel at this point. Like I think
(40:20):
if it were up to them right now and and
you ask them you can keep one way goodbye to
the other, they would keep by Yuk and I think
best reflected in the contract offers that they've made to him,
and there yet no the sug justin Jefferson contract situation
complicate things. Yes, could this get ugly ugly before it
gets better?
Speaker 3 (40:40):
I'm sure?
Speaker 5 (40:42):
And you know, is it possible somebody could come in
when things look fleek and Blowdan Niners away and get
them an off for they cant refuse. I guess that
could happen too, But I still think the likelihood is
the Niners find a way to get something done with
Brandon Ayuk and he's there long term.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Do we have any updates on Aaron Rodgers come money?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
We got to hear it.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Well, we already talked about this last week, didn't we.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Well, I mean there's there's no I mean, I'm just
saying it's it's it's a new week. You know. Aaron
Rodgers is a New week type of guy, you know
what I mean? Like updates. We definitely talked about it
last week. There could be updates.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Albert, you know something, and you're not filling us in.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
You heard what he hit us with? Uh heard about this.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
Last week? I told you that I think he's in
a place that you can't fly to from where I'm
at without a connection. And if you look, if you look,
I live in Boston. If you look, you can fly
a lot of places from Boston without a connection. So
I I don't think you can get where Aaron Rodgers
is going without a connection in space.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
I mean, I wouldn't be shocked.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
So, I mean, I think it was it was rich
Semini that kind of hinted at the Middle East, that
it was over in the Middle East or something like that.
There was there was that that was thrown out there.
I just you know, at what point. The thing about it, though,
is whatever the answer is, he's going to get crushed
for it either way, like somebody's gonna have a problem
(42:26):
with it because it come out.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Will it become common knowledge?
Speaker 5 (42:32):
Or he's just gonna come out and say it on McAfee.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Right, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Right, you do think he will come out and say
where he was at for the two days?
Speaker 5 (42:43):
I mean we didn't do this before. I mean didn't
we find I think we found out from the dark
about the darkness retreat from him, right, like he was
the one. Didn't nobody else broke that news? That was him,
right I remember?
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, yeah, he he talked about going.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Yeah, so you're going to let him break the news
on McAfee and you not breaking on two pros and
a cup of Joe right now?
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Messed up?
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Man? Come on, Albert, I.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
I have I have some things that can't be said.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
I'll just put it fair enough.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
That's not fair. We we we deserve to have you
say it right here right now, Albert.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
But okay, sorry, Hey, by the way, what do you
got on tap book?
Speaker 5 (43:27):
LeVar? I gave you guys a hell of a hint.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
Yes she did? Yes, she did? You did? You did?
Speaker 5 (43:32):
You can together in that? Yeah? All right?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
So so ab I believe you were in Nantucket last
year for fourth Are you going out there again this year?
What's what's the plan for the family for holiday?
Speaker 5 (43:44):
We are a pretty serious problem right now because we
booked the ferry and every year on the first day
is available to get our car over there. Right now.
My wife called like three hours in on the first
saying everything was booked out. We still have to come
off the waiting list, and so I may have to
(44:05):
go to the ferry with the car at four am
tomorrow to try and get the car on standby. Oh
so Brogn and Nantucket, how and when all of us
get there is still up in the air. There'll be
no problem getting us there. The problem is getting the
car there and where the house is relative to everything else,
and so so, yeah, I got some real issues I
(44:26):
got to deal with over the next twenty four hours
or so.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Well, you can rent a car if all those fails, though.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
Right No, no, no, no no. The rental cars over there
are rented like months ahead of time, so there'd be
no chance of that.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
D damn.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
It's a diar situation, LeVar. I mean, I'm I'm like,
I I got to figure some stuff out today for sure.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
So stressed out. I wish you the best, bro, I am.
Speaker 5 (44:54):
I'm not gonna lie to you, guys.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
I am. Geez, you want to be up at our time?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Yeah, he can't be bothered with you know, Aaron Rodgers.
You know, sitting on the back of a Campbell. Guys,
He's not like, don't yeah, don't, don't bother me. You've
got his own problems.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Here, say anything about any Campbell's. I don't know what
you guys are telling.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, like I got him,
this is this is where I'm picturing it. I've got
him sitting on the back of a camel smoking a bong.
That's That's what I'm thinking about with Aaron Rodgers. But
you know, yeah, you never should never know. Hey, good
luck tomorrow if you're if you're stuck out there and
you're waiting, you can turn on the show and uh
(45:35):
we'll keep you company for.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
I can't stand by tomorrow, right, Yeah, well, well we'll see,

Get him on Twitter at Albert Breer. Always a fun
conversation every single Thursday morning.
It's the fast of two pros and rating wind and
Jonas knots on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So what was Is it just the flu you got
going on? Or is it was like a cold? Is
it sweeping the house?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
It feels like the flu. It was a war zone
in here on yesterday. Man, Yeah, what happened yesterday evening? Like, well,
I guess the day before evening? It was just I
mean people, Trish was passed out on the kitchen floor
like it was. It was carnage everywhere. Man, wait what
people pen pen is throwing up over here? You know,
(00:42):
it was just I don't know, man, It's crazy, bro.
It was just a lot going on. I'm hurting, like
I felt like, you know, you know how you get
those when you get that that type of illness where
you get extreme hot and cold flashes and you get
you get those sweats and then everything is bothering. Then
(01:04):
your whole body is in pain, like and just achy.
I'm just just super achy. You know what made me
think about Jonas? I started thinking to myself, I'm like,
how do you walk around people who give you germs
to make you feel that way but they don't look
like they feel that way? It start It made me
start thinking, like, with all this technology that they have
(01:26):
out here, you know what they need to do. They
need to come up with an app that connects to
some like like some sunglasses, like some cool looking sunglasses.
And as you're walking through places, it's like stay away,
boom boom, stay away. Like it doesn't need to tell you,
like what their you know, what their affliction is or
(01:46):
whatever their illness is, but just know that if it
can get on you, like if it can handle you
and make you sick, then you need to stay away. Now.
The only problem you have with that is that thing
would probably be going nuts while you're in the air,
you know, on an airplane. Oh yeah, you know what
(02:07):
I mean. So there'd be no way. There'd be no
way around it. But it's just bro I generally get sick,
like when I travel, I mean, but this one was
worse though, Like this this one, I feel pretty bad. Man.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, it feels like there's two different flus going through
the House's the stomach and then the whatever they call that,
the non stomach that you've got. I'll tell you this,
I would rather have the fever in the chills and
throwing up. That's not all and but here's the good
thing about being sick. Okay, don't you feel lean afterwards
because you can't really eat all that much.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You can't really eat, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Man, lean, And that's when you take all your best shots.
Like you just go head down so nobody sees it.
You're sick and just you look like you're carved at
a granite.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I ain't doing no smoking, no nothing, man, just like
just been out of it, just been out of it.
Bro I stayed in bed literally entire day yesterday. So
damn yeah, it's pretty. This one is pretty. This one
got me pretty good. Man.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well listen, I hope everybody at the house feels better,
and you know you'd be back by the pool having
a cocktailer to in no time. Everything's gonna be fine.
Now with that being said, I know there's a lot
of people that are like, man, well he's sick as
he banged up. You guys promised us something yesterday and
hopefully LeVar can deliver. So here we go, LeVar, the
floor is yours. It is time for LeVar Arrington's NBA
(03:31):
Draft grades of the first round. LeVar taking away your
thoughts on the first round of the NBA Draft as
we got to see a bunch of guys and that
nobody's really familiar with.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
And that's what I'll start off by saying, while I
think that these these draft picks are you know, I
thought I thought the picks were good. I think the
one thing I came away with wondering was why are
the top players coming from overseas? Why is why is
(04:04):
France the place where you know your top two guys
are coming from? Like that was my my initial my
initial takeaway. I mean, obviously in ranking and rating the players,
they I mean from from what I can gather and
(04:26):
what I've I've studied on on the guys that they've taken, it's,
you know, they're they're good picks for the teams. It
just seems like to me, my my takeaway was that
is America because it's kind of like that. Isn't it
(04:46):
like that in baseball as well? Isn't it like that
kind of in hockey as well? It's a decentralized sport.
You don't get the best players necessarily from America. Even
though these are you know, these are American considered to
be American sports, Yeah, they're more global in their reach.
(05:07):
So even though I was looking at you know, like
the kid fall into the Lakers at seventeen from from Tennessee,
and you know the kid from Purdue, Zach, what's his baby?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Top ten?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, but I mean, don't you think he might have
should have went higher?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I think in previous years he would he would have
gotten higher.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But I just, you know, I just think that you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Man, just three Frenchmen in the top six, which like
my thought on it was this like for all the
coverage that the Dream Team got back in ninety two
and how great it was, and for anybody that doesn't remember,
I mean it was the story of the Barcelona Olympics,
like following the Dream Team that you like seeing all
(05:56):
those guys playing on the same team. I mean you
had guys that you know, were Hall of Fame players
that weren't really the biggest story, like Larry Bird could
hardly play because his back was so banged up and
so injured. But it was all about building that team
and going to take over the Olympics, and it just
everyone knew what the reality was. Guys were gonna get destroyed.
(06:16):
You had players from other countries getting autographs and getting
their pictures taken with these guys. They were true rock stars.
And one of the things that I think is interesting
to come out of it is that's really where this
all started, Like all the international players and the international influence,
guys like Dirk, guys like Luke, like all it started
from that dream team. So it's almost like, hey, we
(06:39):
want to go take over the world. Literally, we realized
you influenced it to a point to where they they're
not taking over the draft like it's like they've they
loved what they saw and they loved the product so
much that all of a sudden, everybody wanted to play ball.
Everybody wanted to be the next NBA star, and it's
grown the game to a level. The only issue with
(07:02):
that is, yeah, it's great on Draft night and or
it's great on regular season games, and you see guys
like Joker and Luca and Wenby and Jannis and all
these guys playing when they played during the regular season,
But when it comes to events like Draft night, and
we were talking about this yesterday, you don't you're not
as familiar with these guys, but they're familiar with you
(07:23):
because they saw it when it came over in ninety
two for the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
It just makes me wonder, you know, I mean, it
just makes me wonder. What does that mean in terms
of the way these kids are being developed? That's my
biggest question. If that's if it's consistently happened happening Wemby
went number one last year, So now you got two
(07:47):
years in a row that it happens and this year
it's one and two. That means there's a trend that's
being started. And what is that? What? Like, what are
they doing there that would lend to them having the
number one overall draft pick in the NBA? What what
(08:08):
are they doing that that development in the US isn't doing.
You know, I start to think about like the institutions
like I amg you know Mount Verdi, you know the
high school, the high schools that are developing these kids.
I'm pretty certain they have clubs, Like they handle athletics
(08:31):
differently abroad, Like you can actually go to school for sports,
like if it's basketball, if it's soccer, if it's you know,
certain certain you know sports, you actually can go to
school for that. Now you're starting to see that become
(08:52):
more of a trend in America now as well. Where
they have those like boarder schools where you or charter
whatever they're called, where where you're able to go there,
you do your home or you do your your books,
you do your class, and then most of the day
is spent working out and doing development for the sport
(09:16):
that you play, like specialized training for that sport in particular.
But I find it to be very interesting that that
that is now a trend. Now. Listen Houston takes read
Shepherd Read Shepherd is a young young fella point guard
god handles freshmen out of Kentucky. I thought that was
(09:42):
I mean, he's he's one of those guys. He's I
believe he's got a pretty good ceiling, but you know,
you have to it all remains to be seen. Right
Stephen Castle from Connecticut, I thought he had a really
good year. He goes to the Spur good defender. You know,
(10:03):
Yukon always puts out some some pretty good talent. You know,
they seem to have good development for players that translate
well into the NBA to Pistons. Take Ron Holland, he's
a guard out of the G League. So now it's
it's just interesting because you don't have these types of elements,
(10:24):
and I always compare things to football, but you don't
have these types of elements in football, Like it just
seems to be more more cut and dry.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
It also, I think showcases how big college football has become,
because I don't want to say that college basketball was
bigger at a certain point, but damn it sure felt
like back in the day that there was, like it
was at least in the same stratosphere because like you know,
(10:55):
those we've talked about it, those Duke teams, the Florida
teams from the early two thousand, all of those teams
were like you knew every one of those guys. You
and LV, you knew all those guys. And now when
it comes to college football, the TV rights, the exposure,
like every single player that's getting drafted, you've either see
the game of his A.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I think that's that's really where the disconnect comes from
the NBA draft where you don't have that, and it
just showcases the bridge that those guys are walking on
to get to the next level, Like you just don't
have that in basketball anymore.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I believe you had two guys from Yukon and two
guys from Kentucky that were in the top ten, and
those were two teams I mean, wow, you you know,
Kentucky kind of came up short and really short with
what they did in the tournament. It still kind of
goes back to the point that Cali Perry, mate, I
(11:55):
do get you ready for the NBA. Yeah, for what
it's worth.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Maybe that's why he's not here. He didn't want to
have to answer for John Calipari getting a guy draft
in the top three.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Again, I believes, But again he's gotten two. He got
two in the top ten, and obviously Yukon they took
it home. They have two in the top ten. So
you're familiar with you know, those guys because you're seeing
them all year and they're more highlighted during the course
of the NCAA basketball season. But for the most and
(12:25):
then obviously we knew we know who Zach Edy is
because of how tall he is, and you know, the
just kind of the storyline.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
What that's really But that's how we should break down.
We should really do a grade on everybody. Just be
like Zach Eddie goes nine to Memphis. You know, biggest
takeaway is he's tall. He's tall, seven four.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Tall tall, But you know, but he was good too.
You know, they went they went on a deep run obviously,
and and had had the opportunity to to win it,
and and then it was largely in part of what
he brought to the table. I mean, he's he has
a I think he has the potential to be a
(13:12):
really really good pro. I don't know that I see
superstar like super superstar type guy like Max Contract guy
and Zach Edie. But but I think he'll be a
good player in the NBA. I think he'll do some
good things. But for the most part, I mean it's
because he's tall, and he's you know his I think
his heritage plays a little bit to do with it too,
(13:33):
Like you know, he's got well, he's got that whole well. Anyways,
I don't want to mess it up, but anyway, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
A good heat check to see if anybody's listening though,
just misrepresent his background about it.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fun. But anyway, all in all,
I thought it was interesting. I don't think that anyone
should have been surprised that Brownie wasn't taken in the
first round, because once you get out of all of
the politics, as Petros has said many a times, the
kid wasn't even on the first team in California coming
(14:09):
out of high school as as a top player, Like
I think he was like a second team off CIF
And then he goes to college and obviously, you know
he had the health scare, so you get that, but
nonetheless he wasn't. I don't think anyone that would be
breaking down basketball and breaking down the prospects would have
(14:33):
him as a top prospect. So while it may come
across as maybe disappointing that he didn't go in the
first round and somebody said, well, he's clearly the biggest
NAM prospect on the board now for the next round,
he was the biggest name prospect on the board for
the first round, Yes, you know, but that doesn't mean
(14:54):
that he's the best prospect. And while I think he
will get an opportunity to play in the NBA, I
still think that it's just one of those things where,
if we're being honest with ourselves, these gms and these
teams have to go with the best prospect that they
believe makes their team better. And I don't think that
(15:14):
you change that process just because the kid's name is
Brownie James. And I think we found that out in
last night's draft. Yep, good point.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio AIP.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Hey, what's up, everybody. It's me three time pro bowler
LeVar Arrington and I couldn't be more excited to announce
a podcast called Up on Game? What is Up on Game?
You asked, along with my fellow pro bowler TJ. Huschman
Zada and Super Bowl champion Yep, that's right, Plexico Burris,
you can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
(16:02):
sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
to Up on Game with me Lebar Arrington, t J. Huschman, Zada,
and Plexigo Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts from.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So there's a lot of people who are driving around
heading to work and they want to know, like, Hey,
what is it like doing morning drive? Like morning radio?
You know, what is it like? What's the atmosphere, like,
what do you got going on? And listen, I'm having
a coffee. You know, it's it's four in the morning
out here in Los Angeles. You know, I'm having a coffee.
Nice Lee and Lorena uh oh, bag of gummy bears.
(16:44):
You know, there's just there's two different worlds that are
that are operating here and uh and they're they're rifling
through a bag of gummy bears. And I believe that
Lorena's got a bag of popcorn as well too. Oh no,
baked lays, so at least they're baked. And at what point?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
I found some really old McDonald's fries just sitting out.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
No, do you eat them?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I tested to see how old they were. They were
very old. I uh did not. I spit it out.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Where were they at just sitting over there in the studio? Well,
of course a media why wouldn't they be like yeah,
And that's what I don't say. People complain that there's
cockroaches in the studio, like cockroaches the size of VW
bugs and they can't figure out why that is, Like, yeah,
(17:38):
why is it? Because people leave food out here all
the time, Like what do you expect? It's like this,
there's the best place they can go to.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's a heavy populated area. Yeah, there's food across the streets,
you know, it's just there's a lot of foot traffic,
so to speak at you know what I mean. Everybody's
in on it now. I mean there's there's not just roaches,
there's like there's possums, there's coyotes. You know, everybody's eating you.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Know, I see coyotes in the parking garage more often
than not.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Know, I mean, they they go around, they patrol it.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
By the way, I'd like to give a shout out
now that we're on the subject, to the fine folks
who thought it was a good idea to put money
into building a bridge on the one oh one freeway
out here between Agra and Calabasas, which is the route
I take to come into work. They thought it was
a good idea to put a bridge out there to
save the wildlife in case there's a fire, so they
(18:36):
could have a place to walk across to get away
from everything. And I'd also like to give a shout
out to the animal that was ripped into thirds on
the freeway just a few steps away from that crossing,
because apparently he didn't realize that that was going to
be safety z own just crossing, yeah, cross there and
you don't have to worry about anything. Instead, he decided
to play frog or on the one oh one and
(18:58):
got knifed. Brilliant idea. What a moron, natural selection and
it's fun. You there's nothing natural about that thing getting
ripped in thirds by it by a Ford f one
fifty I think a coyote, but at that state could
(19:25):
have been yeah, that could have been a human being.
I have no idea. It was not an in condition.
So it literally like twenty feet away from this crossing
that they shut the freeway down and spent millions of
dollars to build to save the animals. And that one's like, now,
I'm just gonna go to the to the old fashioned cross,
the one to one myself mode, and next thing you know,
(19:48):
you know, we're having a drive around that side. But
riverside as the folks.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Would say something like that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But nonetheless, that is the the update here from the
studio Gummy Bears baked lays, and that's pretty much how
they're operating here. It is two pros and a cup
of Joe on Fox Sports Radio LeVar Arrington Jonas Knox
with you now. One of these storylines to watch in
the NFL this upcoming season is in the AFC South,
(20:15):
not whether or not CJ. Stroud is going to have
the same sort of season that he had his rookie year,
or whether or not you've got the Jacksonville Jaguars and
they find themselves after paying Trevor Lawrence all that money,
if they find themselves back in the postseason again, or
whether or not Jeffrey Simmons actually does make comments about
Caleb Williams's fingernails while he plays in Week one. The
(20:39):
other storyline is what are we gonna get from Anthony Richardson,
because apparently he was dealing with fatigue and it was
bothering him towards the end of MIDI camps and OTAs,
but General manager Chris Ballard says shouldn't be an issue.
He was on the GM reshuffle and had this to say.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You'll be full go.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
He was full go all the way up until the
last day of OTAs.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
And you know, we had a two heavy throwing sessions
to two days before, and so we backed off a
little bit the last day, and of course, which sends
up anytime you talk about a shoulder in this city,
there's some scars that everybody has. So but he'll be
good to go come training camp.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Do we know whether or not he's gonna be the
goods because it almost feels like this is his rookie
year because he missed majority of last season. He when
he was out there, all that we've the only information
we've got in Anthony Richardson is I mean, he's a
physical freak and when he did play, he was exciting
to watch. But he only played a handful of games
(21:40):
and I think he only finished one because he got
injured in the others. And it's almost like that's storyline
has been kind of, you know, cast aside to where
I look at it and go, this feels like a
guy that's basically entering his rookie year because we have
no idea what we're going to expect from him or
what we're going to get from him.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I think that's where you have to leave it at
this moment, that you have no idea what to expect.
Because there's the health aspect of it, I think I
think there are other elements that play a part. And
if he's going to have a higher level of success.
That could be how you know the offensive line blocks
for him, how you know how they're running game, how
(22:19):
that works for him, how the passing game works for him,
how how the plays are being called. There's just a
lot of there's just a lot of moving parts for
a quarterback to to be able to measure engauge if
if they're going to have success, and not having a
(22:39):
body of a body of work established for him, I
think you have to stay in the in the mindset
of what you just said, like you almost have to
approach it as if he's a rookie because you haven't
seen enough to know if that is going to to
be a you know, win or loss. In terms of
(23:02):
what he's able to do. I would probably I would
probably lean a little bit more towards he'll have success.
But again, the elements that took him out of last
year that should always give somebody pause. When somebody, when
somebody isn't playing because and they're not available because of
(23:24):
their health, then you you have to see them overcome
making it through games and being healthy before you know,
before you can have trust or or have you know,
kind of the confidence that they're going to be around
and again just hearing that all, well, he's having you know,
(23:44):
the issues with what'd you say, getting.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Getting tired, shoulder fatigue, you know, because they had too
heavy throwing sessions.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
You know, I wouldn't put too much into that, honestly,
I wouldn't. But again anytime, which it makes you wonder,
why would you even mention that to the media. Sometimes
I just wonder why people mention s to the media, man,
Like why would you say it?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And and also the the I don't know if it
was a swipe, if that would what you would want
to call it, But what he mentioned, I know, you know,
shoulder issues. When people hear that in this toad, they.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Get sensitive around here he's talking about Andrew.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Of course he is like like, I mean, let it go.
It's good to see they've gotten over it.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You know, Like, I just don't understand why you would
even mention it. There's no reason to you know, he's
coming off of a you know, an injured injury season.
Why would you Why is that worth mentioning? Like is
there any context of that? Did he have to mention it?
Like what what was the reasoning for him putting that
(24:51):
out there? Because that's already you're now already wondering about
his health, and then now you've just given more ammunition
for people to wonder about his health even more.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
My thought would be that it was known that he
missed a day or two at OTA's for precautionary reasons,
and was probably asked about.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
That, and so precautionary. I mean, he's our franchise quarterback.
We holding him back, no games to be won right now, right. Yeah.
I don't understand why you have to put sometimes the
amount of detail, like to say that detail in June.
(25:37):
I just don't. It doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, it's a kind of interesting. And also you know, look,
this would probably be something that Brady would.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Know more about.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
But he had the surgery in October. I mean, you know,
it seems like it's been a long time and there's
still issues with fatigue and recovering from it. Like I
don't know, I just I wonder if they're maybe more
concerned than they're letting on, because not to try and
(26:08):
point out that there's a boogeyman in the room or
in the locker room.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
There, but well, but he did mention the boogeyman got
a hold of Andrew Love.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
And you know, if there is somebody who who could
go mano Imano with the Boogeyman when it comes to
a quarterback having shoulder issues, it's Joe Flacco. And he's
now the backup in Indianapolis. So there is there is that,
you know, defending comeback player of the year old Joey
Flacco is sitting there in India, you know, kind of
waiting his turn if something goes wrong here. So I
(26:38):
don't know, maybe maybe they're feeling like, hey, listen, you
know what, we got our guy. We'll talk openly about
the injury guy, and we got the guy who's going
to fix everything.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
We got the guy.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It's kind of it is kind of wild that Joe
Flacco went from no job to it comes back. Yeah,
like he totally in demand and and you makes you like, well,
why wasn't he Like it's not like he retired, Like
it's not like he you know, actively was was, you know,
trying to sit out like like and now you look
(27:08):
at it again and you go and the Jets couldn't
use him yet, like that was really not even an
option or a possibility last year. So now he's in Indianapolis.
He's going to be backing up Anthony Richardson, and we'll
see see whether or not, because who knows. I mean,
Anthony Richardson could could decide he wants to, you know,
be put well, be put under for another ten hours
to get a tattoo, and then if something goes wrong,
(27:29):
then Joe Flacco's got to step up and step in.
So there's that possibility too. But but that is your
your early preview of the Indianapolis colts. Well, you said
you would have been put under if you were.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Getting acupuncher, right, and then like almost like a form
of acupuncture.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Did they put you they give you some sleepy stuff
when you're getting accupuncture.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
No, no, but I'm just said, you got a whole
bunch of needles going in you when you get tattoos.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
What's the longest you were put under for a surgery
or anything.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I don't know. You know, I tried to kill myself
on the motorcycle one time in my life, so that
was I'm sure that.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Was a long time, like not literally though, right, No, No,
I wasn't really trying that.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I got you know, that story for another day. Yeah,
but yeah, that was a lot of surgeries that I
had to go through, so I made it was a
long time.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I've always wondered, like I've never been put under for
a surgery or anything, or like.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
A two feel like any time to you just kind
of out right, yeah, you're out of there.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You remember anything?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
You know? How they say, right? You know what I
mean how they say I saw. I saw the light,
and I saw my mom or I saw my dad,
or I saw my ancestors and all that I ain't
see s. I didn't see anything. I didn't feel like
I was going anywhere. I didn't. I wasn't going to
to the hockey sticks down below, I wasn't going to
(28:57):
the to the sky. I didn't feel it anything. I
was just I was, you know, I wouldn't you know
you woke up and saw lights.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, now you're not telling the truth. Well, and I'm
not trying to expose you on the air here, but
I don't think you're telling the truth because you did
see something. What you saw was the Mexican Weather Channel,
is what you saw.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
That was after I woke up. It was in my
room from you know, the surgery room. The first thing
I saw when I woke up was lights. But it
wasn't the heavenly lights. It was the lights from the
head lights the surgery. My nurse did have some head lights.
She played football to tackle. Well, hey girl, kind of weird.
(29:52):
Like we we had a we had a very good bond.
You know, she had to watch me, you know what
I mean, if you know what I mean. But that
was The Weather channel came later. Man, Like I was
in my room. I was high off the the you know,
the the drugs they were giving me to keep the
pain down. And I saw Albert Einstein in one of
(30:14):
the paintings that was in the room. It was like
the painting of of of leaves. It was weird, but
I saw Albert Einstein's facing it. I started understanding Spanish
watching the Weather channel, yeah, cause they don't have cable
in hospitals, well at least in that hospital, they didn't
(30:35):
have cable, so which was interesting because if you don't
have cable, how do I get Telemundo? But I don't
know whichever one it was. I don't even remember which
one it was, but their weather channel. I just know
I just kept it on that channel.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Remeber. They were trying to keep you there longer it
would worked for me, like, listen, you know we need
more money. How do we keep me here longer? I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Throwing univision bro I was, I was. I was in
that joint for like two in a hour, half weeks
brouh Like that was not fun. If anybody's you're thinking
about doing something like riot motorcycles or doing anything, don't don't.
Don't do anything that's gonna land you in the hospital.
For I couldn't even imagine being locked up, Like, nope,
(31:18):
don't do it. Yeah, don't. You're gonna be bored.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Hey, Lee, got a scooter in Phoenix or a super
Bowl that's.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
A little different. Yeah, that's a tad bit different.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You can't even go with that fast on them.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, on a scooter.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
The only thing you gotta worry about in that neck
of the woods is just kind of having to weave
in and out of heroin needles on the ground.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
It was an issue. So my line, those are generally
next to the curve, the curve of the street, so
you don't have to necessarily like weave through them, but
you should be aware.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Well, that was the coolest thing about Phoenix, man, it
was getting those scooters because they closed off all the streets.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I was just cruising down Main Street. Yeah. That of
all the Super Bowls we've been to, that, by far
and away a was the the worst designed sort of
how to get to where you needed to go because
we weren't that far away from radio and it seemed
like a long ass drive every single time.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Did it really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Well, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It was not because you had.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
To do a swirl around all the blockades like to
get around but if you had but if you had
the scooter boom straight line.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I really liked that smash Burger until he friended us,
hit us with the friend and then y'all gonna keep
eating them while I boycotted him. But now I realized
what our friendship is based off of. Like, y'all just
do what you'll want to do. Man, I'm gonna do
that for the rest of the way.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Good burger is a good burger. Sorry, Brady Riverside.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Sorry var because you and Brady went back and got
he got one too.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Dave, But be honest, damn good burger.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Though it was a damn good burger. I haven't had
one like it since.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, I know you wanted you wanted another one.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
That's how I did big time. But his homies over everything.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
It is about everything.

Right now. Albert Breer is in senior NFL reporter and
lead content strategists at the MMQB. You can get him
on Twitter at Albert Breer a B. What's happening? Good morning.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Morning.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
So we were curious because we were discussing this earlier
this week, this report that came out that Mike McCarthy
is fed up, and I think Tyler Dunn was the
reporter who came out with it, that Tyler that Mike
McCarthy's a little bit fed up with the situation in Dallas.
There are people there who think that you know, every
players you know are going more towards Jerry and that
(33:52):
he's basically just this typical drama that comes with the Cowboys.
My question for you is this, I haven't heard Mike
McCarthy or anybody else dispel any of that stuff. So
does that tell you that there was some validity to
the report from Tyler Dunn.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
Now, I mean it tells me that everybody's off for
the summer right now. You know, I think you'll probably
hear Mike McCarthy shoot the report down. Now that doesn't
mean it's not true, but you know, whenever he's available again,
which I would think would be right to start a
training camp, it'll probably be addressed. And you know he'll
deny that ever a problem. And then if they win,
(34:34):
then you know, everybody lacks like nothing ever happened. And
if they lose, then we'll reprise it like everything else.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
You know.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Look, I mean like this is a complicated situation. The
Cowboys are in all the way around. I mean, they
have three high profile maybe the three best players in
our team in contract situations with Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb
and Micah Parsons. And they've got a head coach and
his staff, most of his staff going into contract years.
(35:03):
They're also turny over part of the staff where Dan
Quinn's off to Washington, and there is the new defensive coordinators.
So you know, like there's just a lot of moving
parts there. And you know the fact that Mike McCarthy's
won twelve games three years in a row, and is
in this position where everyone's constantly talking about his job security.
(35:24):
I'm sure it's frustrating to him. On the flip side,
I mean, I had heard going into the playoffs last
year that McCarthy didn't just have to make the best
and had to look good in the playoffs to hold
on to his job. Obviously that didn't happen because they
didn't look great and their only playoff game against Screen Bay.
So I think, you know, it's not a real surprise
(35:45):
to anybody that we're talking about his job status.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Oh wow, that's that's interesting. It'd be interesting. I'm curious
to see if it comes out differently as as we
move forward, if this pops back up, Uh, let's let's
go to Indianapolis. How Anthony Richardson that the GM comes
out and says, you know, it's just arm shoulder fatigue,
(36:10):
nothing to be concerned about. He's full go, and that's fine.
But to me, why even say it? I think that
that's kind of the big question here is why even
say it? If if he's full go, if there's nothing
to worry about, no concerns, no nothing, why even say,
you know, it's due to shoulder fatigue and nothing, no problem,
(36:32):
da Dad. Don't don't use that, and especially don't say, well,
we're extra sensitive around here about shoulders and stuff like that.
Like I just feel like these guys could answer questions
a little bit better than what they do. But why
why even say it in this moment?
Speaker 5 (36:48):
I think sitting in this case, you know, Chris is
trying to be honest, you know, and I think his
experience of going through up with Andrew Locke and you're
remember what a complete bleep show that became where it
was he's coming back, He's not coming back. You know.
Where you get yourself in trouble is when you mislead
(37:09):
people on things like this. And if you were to
mislead some people on something like this and then like
he takes a couple of days off in summer, and
now it like looks like you were lying to everybody,
you know. So if you're just truthfulling straightforward about it,
which I mean, Look, the guy's coming off with surgery,
you know what I mean, and the guy is going
(37:30):
to need breaks and schedule, then you know, I think
you got less complications on the back end of it,
so that I think is the thinking. But look like
I would never I'm done ever like discounting or or
downplaying any sort of shoulder issue for a quarterback. If
(37:52):
the quarterback's got an issue with his throwing shoulder, it
is worth paying attention to, period and of story. Now,
some are more serious than others, obviously, but we've got
too many cases where something that seems small at the beginning,
whether it's Andrew Lock, Cam Newton's whoever you want to
you know, whoever's name you want to use here, We've
got so many cases where it got where a quarterback
(38:13):
throwing shoulder was an issue, and at the beginning we
thought like, this is just something that needs to be managed,
and then lo and behold, a few months, a couple
of years later, we're talking about something more serious. Happens
all the time, you know. So I would say I
would take what Chris Dalla is saying at face value,
(38:34):
but I would never, never again downplay a quarterback going
through an issue with this throwing shoulder.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
He is Albert Breer, Senior NFL reporter, Lead Content Strategies
at the MMQB, joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Get him on Twitter at Albert Breer all right, ab
it's time for the weekly because listen to me, there's
a lot of players who want deals. I don't know
that anybody's taken it as personally as Brandon Ayuk and
gone publicly to kind of voices displeasure. Where do we
(39:02):
stand on that. I know they reportedly met recently, but
is there any optimism there's going to be.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
A deal done?
Speaker 5 (39:08):
Yeah? I mean, I think if you want like something
this instructive on this one and go back two years
and look how ugly the thing got with Ebo Samuel
and if you remember, like you want to go back
to that point in time, there was a there was
a time when people are saying, well, it's not even
about the money, it's about the way that the Niners
use him. And he doesn't want to play running back anymore, right, Yeah,
(39:32):
And in the end, like that all wound up becoming
just part of the negotiation. And now actually, over the
last two years, believe it or not, he's averaged more
carries per game than he did. You're leading into that contract,
Nego in twenty twenty one, So he's actually taking on
more damage as a running back now than he was.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
At least he stuck to his guns. You know, everybody
was honest the whole time.
Speaker 5 (39:56):
So my point is, like money, so a lot of things,
you know what I mean? Like so, and I just
think like this is a part of a normal negotiation,
you know. Ultimately, I do think that the Niners, if
they had their brothers, would choose keeping brand and Ayyuk
over keeping Deebo Samuel at this point. Like I think
(40:20):
if it were up to them right now and and
you ask them you can keep one way goodbye to
the other, they would keep by Yuk and I think
best reflected in the contract offers that they've made to him,
and there yet no the sug justin Jefferson contract situation
complicate things. Yes, could this get ugly ugly before it
gets better?
Speaker 3 (40:40):
I'm sure?
Speaker 5 (40:42):
And you know, is it possible somebody could come in
when things look fleek and Blowdan Niners away and get
them an off for they cant refuse. I guess that
could happen too, But I still think the likelihood is
the Niners find a way to get something done with
Brandon Ayuk and he's there long term.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Do we have any updates on Aaron Rodgers come money?
Speaker 2 (41:00):
We got to hear it.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
Well, we already talked about this last week, didn't we.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Well, I mean there's there's no I mean, I'm just
saying it's it's it's a new week. You know. Aaron
Rodgers is a New week type of guy, you know
what I mean? Like updates. We definitely talked about it
last week. There could be updates.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
Albert, you know something, and you're not filling us in.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
You heard what he hit us with? Uh heard about this.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
Last week? I told you that I think he's in
a place that you can't fly to from where I'm
at without a connection. And if you look, if you look,
I live in Boston. If you look, you can fly
a lot of places from Boston without a connection. So
I I don't think you can get where Aaron Rodgers
is going without a connection in space.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
I mean, I wouldn't be shocked.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
So, I mean, I think it was it was rich
Semini that kind of hinted at the Middle East, that
it was over in the Middle East or something like that.
There was there was that that was thrown out there.
I just you know, at what point. The thing about it, though,
is whatever the answer is, he's going to get crushed
for it either way, like somebody's gonna have a problem
(42:26):
with it because it come out.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Will it become common knowledge?
Speaker 5 (42:32):
Or he's just gonna come out and say it on McAfee.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Right, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Right, you do think he will come out and say
where he was at for the two days?
Speaker 5 (42:43):
I mean we didn't do this before. I mean didn't
we find I think we found out from the dark
about the darkness retreat from him, right, like he was
the one. Didn't nobody else broke that news? That was him,
right I remember?
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, yeah, he he talked about going.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Yeah, so you're going to let him break the news
on McAfee and you not breaking on two pros and
a cup of Joe right now?
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Messed up?
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Man? Come on, Albert, I.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
I have I have some things that can't be said.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
I'll just put it fair enough.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
That's not fair. We we we deserve to have you
say it right here right now, Albert.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
But okay, sorry, Hey, by the way, what do you
got on tap book?
Speaker 5 (43:27):
LeVar? I gave you guys a hell of a hint.
Speaker 3 (43:30):
Yes she did? Yes, she did? You did? You did?
Speaker 5 (43:32):
You can together in that? Yeah? All right?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
So so ab I believe you were in Nantucket last
year for fourth Are you going out there again this year?
What's what's the plan for the family for holiday?
Speaker 5 (43:44):
We are a pretty serious problem right now because we
booked the ferry and every year on the first day
is available to get our car over there. Right now.
My wife called like three hours in on the first
saying everything was booked out. We still have to come
off the waiting list, and so I may have to
(44:05):
go to the ferry with the car at four am
tomorrow to try and get the car on standby. Oh
so Brogn and Nantucket, how and when all of us
get there is still up in the air. There'll be
no problem getting us there. The problem is getting the
car there and where the house is relative to everything else,
and so so, yeah, I got some real issues I
(44:26):
got to deal with over the next twenty four hours
or so.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Well, you can rent a car if all those fails, though.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
Right No, no, no, no no. The rental cars over there
are rented like months ahead of time, so there'd be
no chance of that.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
D damn.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
It's a diar situation, LeVar. I mean, I'm I'm like,
I I got to figure some stuff out today for sure.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
So stressed out. I wish you the best, bro, I am.
Speaker 5 (44:54):

Speaker 3 (44:55):

You know, sitting on the back of a Campbell. Guys,
He's not like, don't yeah, don't, don't bother me. You've
got his own problems.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Here, say anything about any Campbell's. I don't know what
you guys are telling.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, like I got him,
this is this is where I'm picturing it. I've got
him sitting on the back of a camel smoking a bong.
That's That's what I'm thinking about with Aaron Rodgers. But
you know, yeah, you never should never know. Hey, good
luck tomorrow if you're if you're stuck out there and
you're waiting, you can turn on the show and uh
(45:35):
