Speaker 3 (00:58):
An unmatched selection, fat free shipping, free road has a
protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tirerac dot com
The way tire buying should be. So everyone's kind of
waiting to see what the hell it's going to look
like in New England without Bill Belichick there walking the sidelines,
and we already have some information coming in that it's

(01:19):
going to look a little bit different. So, according to
Mike Reese, who covers the New England Patriots for ESPN,
Girod Mayo, the new coach there, is going to change
things up for training camp. One example is how Girod
Mayo is putting his own stamp on the Patriots. Is
what time they planned to practice in training camp? Eleven

(01:42):
am Eastern Time. Under Belichick in his final stretch of
the seasons, the team practice at nine thirty am. So
he's bumping it back ninety minutes to go ahead and
get everybody ready for the season, which probably means ninety
minutes later, which means ninety minutes later also makes it hotter.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
And so that's how.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
He's going to get ready for the New England Patriots
upcoming year. A ninety minute delay on the start of
training camp practice. That's Jerrod Mayo's first move as head
coach of the New England Patriots there.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
So, does anyone really have a problem with us?

Speaker 4 (02:16):
No, I'm not doing it so right care I.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Don't either, And I think when you look at two
what time they play, I think with all but three
of their games, or at one pm Eastern.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yet I hope.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
So I mean basically in the hottest time. That's rude,
the hottest time of the day. So it's it's New England,
which this time of year it can get hot. It's
still humid, it's a little bombing, but it's not like
it's South Florida or you know, Houston, Texas or somewhere
else like that. So I'm not sure why this is

(02:48):
such a big deal. I do think it is interesting though,
that he's trying to set a tone, because the initial
tone once the transition had happened was we're more friendly.
You know, Elliott Wolf was making some comments, and you know,
you feel like maybe it's not as you know so
much about doing your job in business, even though it's

(03:09):
part of it. It's it's a little more open, little
more loose. And this is an element where Okay, he
wants to still set the tone that he's not gonna
be a pushover you just just because I may be
perceived to be a player's coach and I can talk
to you and we can kind of rap like that.
Like that doesn't mean I'm just gonna go ahead and
let everything be easy, So I don't really have much

(03:32):
of an issue with it. I think it probably makes
sense too, just from training these guys' bodies and their
time clock to be ready to compete, you know, close
to that time of day when they're actually gonna be
playing games too.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
I wonder, I wonder if it's more or if some
of it has to do with rest as well. You know,
I don't know what they're doing before before the practice
at eleven, if they're they're meeting, or what what the
breakfast scenario looks like. But I wonder if he is
he giving them a later wake up time, you know,

(04:05):
because that's definitely player friendly, even if you're gonna have
to trade it in for practicing in morning time weather
versus you know, eleven right before just before noon weather.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
But I'd be curious as to what their.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
Schedule is, you know, and moving moving that ninety minute gap,
you know, is that more siesta because guys, you know,
I know that, you know, training camps aren't what they
used to be, and going out early was only the
first practice. It was always a second practice, and sometimes
there was a third practice at night. You know, sometimes

(04:42):
you do special situations or you do you know, special teams,
whatever it may be. But there were times where you
had three practices in one day. And so I don't
know in this new age of how things are done
and how practices are scheduled, and how much rest time
versus on time, how much super hard practices versus more

(05:07):
more timing and different things and corrections.

Speaker 7 (05:10):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
I don't know what they're getting done in these one
practices anymore. So it would be I would be curious
to know how much how much meeting time is there
versus on field practice time.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
With jiraw Mao's schedule.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Three days don't happen anymore.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
It's not that I've heard of. I don't think two
a days happen anymore.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Really, that's what I've heard.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
I heard you only practice like one time a day.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Yeah, it's a one to day with a walk through
as a second practice.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Why do you say it like that? Are you disappointed?
Is a different than when you guys are playing.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
Little I'm not disappointed in anything. I'm just saying it's different.
I don't I don't know what what the effects are
the impact of it what it represents. So I'm speaking
blindly right now in terms of knowing exactly what types
of effect.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
It has on the body.

Speaker 6 (06:07):
You know, with the type of schedule they have, can
you create more time for sleep or more study time,
You're going to have to do something to replace what
it is that you don't get out of the physicality
of practices. I just I'm curious as to what that
is at this point.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I've always wondered as well too, why don't if you
play your games at a certain time, why would you
not practice at that certain time to get your body
used to that that window of time that you're going
to be having to perform at. Like I've always thought
sense like just from a standpoint of if we've got
games at one pm Eastern time, let's have practices at

(06:46):
one pm Eastern time. And I don't know if that's
you know, what the schedule's like and whether or not
that's doable during the week or how that how that goes,
But I've always like, if you've got a night game
coming up, why wouldn't you practice during the week at night?
I mean, to me, just from a from a body
clock standpoint, it seems like it would make the most sense,
and yet it doesn't seem like a lot of people

(07:07):
do that.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
It's a little strange.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, well, I mean, listen, if if they were making
you head coach of the Patriots, how would you handle
a bar?

Speaker 6 (07:17):
What would you I mean, I like a lot of
what you're saying, you know, in terms of practicing at
the times that that you're going to play, But ultimately
you have to if you're the head coach of a team,
you have to look at the total, the totality of
what the scheduling looks like and what what has to
get done. And I don't know, I don't I don't

(07:39):
know what the rules are concerning practice times or you know,
air quality. You know, it could be a lot of
factors that play a part. You know, when I was
a head coach, we had to schedule practices based off
of the heat index, and if the heat indecks at
at you know, a certain time is too high, you're

(08:01):
not allowed out there on the field and and so.
And that goes for air quality as well. If the
air quality is bad, like there are a lot of
things that will keep you off a field these days,
and it's out of your hands. You know, it's in
it's in the trainer's hands to tell you exactly what
those elements are that will keep you off the field.

(08:22):
So I don't know exactly what would be playing a
part in why you know you wouldn't practice at that time,
other than like elements such as that.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
The Patriots are going to be terrible this year like that.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (08:36):
You just never know, man, I mean I think Houston
changed that for everybody.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
All right, Well, I mean listen, they think their wind
totals four four and a half something like that.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
So fors rooined for these young defensive mind head coaches,
I mean against them.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
I just wonder how long is the.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
I thought you're gonna be more the defensive side, Like
you want this trend of defensive head coaches getting hired,
you know, like McDonald like you got you got a few,
like young defensive minds that got hired. People are like, oh,
you don't sleep on these defensive lines.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
That's right, it's been mostly you know, bring Belichick back,
bring Mike Rabull back, you know.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Let's just get real discriminatory here. Let's let's just go
all defense. You know what I mean shut.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
So there's always going to be that divide, isn't there. Yeah,
there's always that divide.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
Yeah, natural, it's natural. Never I'll never go back on it.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
How long is the leash for Drod Mayo?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Because if they're if you know, they're subpar this year
and it doesn't look hot next year, I just wonder
at what point, I mean, everyone couldn't wait to get
rid of Belichick. He had to go his time and
you know, to run its course, et cetera, et cetera.
Yet he's going to be the most coveted free agent
coach on the market next year. And and I just

(10:00):
wonder how long this goes on for before people go
you know, maybe it wasn't Belichick that was so much
the problem. You know, maybe Bobby Orchids has got some
fan prints on this whole thing, and maybe he's the guy,
which is what one of the reports was that Belichick
looks at this situation and says, if I go somewhere
else and I have success, then he felt like Robert

(10:23):
Kraft undermining his opportunity in Atlanta was because Robert Kraft
would have nobody else to point to. Brady left, Belichick left,
and now they're not good. You can't point fingers at
Belichick anymore. Maybe maybe Robert Kraft's got to be the
one to wear it.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
Yeah, but they're already bad.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
I mean, well you're going to say, okay, they're more bad,
so that now it isn't on Belichick.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
If they could be worse, Yeah, they could be worse.

Speaker 7 (10:50):
See, I mean not much.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Look that the head coach was Robert Craft's pick, so
I think he's got a lot of wiggle room. You know,
if things don't go well initially, he's got a rookie
starting quarterback most likely if it if it's if it's
not Drake Man, it's gonna be Chacoby Brissett. So that'll
give him a little more time as well.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Let me see, I wonder who the betting favorite is
to be the starter to open up the year.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
It was Brissett. Earlier when we were going through this activity.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I think it was give me one, let me all
up that, let me put that together. I'll work on
that during the break and we'll get some answers there.
But it is two pros and a cup of joe.
Here on Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas
Knox with you coming up next here though from the

Speaker 8 (11:57):

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Lee, you carry this guy's casket. At least you could
do a sing for him. I let Jimmy do the work.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
What up, Jimmy, Yeah, hear you.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
Oh dang, Why.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Are we playing Jimmy Buffett? Did he dial like a
year ago today?

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Why not played Jimmy Buffett? Always played Jimmy damn.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
So there's no actual reason to pond right now.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Lorando just flaming. Come on, Lee, she's feeling it.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Oh wow, I could go for a margarita right now,
really with a sugar rim four.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
It's always five o'clock somewhere.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Baby, Yeah, we don't know you could. That's just more
surprising for Lorena.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Listen, it's noon in Ireland right now.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Pretend you're back at Busker's Barley Pipe one back real quick.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
Looking at me.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Loves it.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
He loves it. He loves it, Johnson.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
They want to have more fun than Lee over in Ireland.

Speaker 9 (13:28):
Oh god, but when we did this, which show I think, Yeah,
we had to be in the second show and Lee
was like a little banged up and you need a little.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Hair of the dog, and so you're doing whiskey and
beer to start out the show. Everyone was bringing me
whiskey and beer.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
Had to be.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Polite, by the way.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Uh, two pros and a cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio it is Brady's favorite day, Bobby Bonia Day.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm a big fan of the Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
The decision Bobby Bonia made to go ahead and defer
payments on his Mets contract. He's going to collect one
point three million dollars from the Mets today. So every
July first through the year twenty thirty five, he's going
to get a nice check from the Mets for his efforts.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
I'd rather take a lump sum.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
That's just man, all right, man, it's a big it's
a big hang up.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
I know a lot of people celebrate that. Well I know.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I'm just saying a lot of people celebrate it. And
then you're like, yeah, well listen, if you break it down,
it would make more sense to do this, and who knows.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
So congratulations to Bobby Bonilla. Check is already cashed and
one year I believe he played for the Mets and
still getting still getting paid for it, So not bad.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
It's Pittsburgh pirate.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
That it was with Barry Bonds and then he mashed
flight Man. Yeah that's right, there you go.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
It had a great team.

Speaker 7 (14:54):
Yeah he did.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, what happened?

Speaker 7 (14:57):
They didn't do anything?

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Yeah, now they got schemes that's about. That's about it.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
By the way, Jim Leland, you know, snapping out on everybody.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
All schemes, literally just throws one hundred every game, multiple
times of game.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
He's just absolutely a stud.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, he's he's fun to watch, you know better. What's
going on over in Chicago? I'll tell you that those
tickets on who you tugging to me here?

Speaker 4 (15:24):
LeVar?

Speaker 5 (15:26):
I talked to LeVar about the Chicago Cubs.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm assuming ticket sales
are good. I mean it's it's really everybody loves Wrigley,
the team.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Stinks, so and any other promotions you'd like to make
to hope that the ticket sales.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Like, there's no I mean, why would I care what
the ticket sales are?

Speaker 7 (15:44):
Just you know.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Is what it is, all right? So from that over
to this Sunday ticket. Now, there is a number that's
being thrown out there.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Britty.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
You said the notes that it was five grand. People
could get paid four five six grands there. So I
was actually thinking about that because if you if you
factor in you did fifteen years of Sunday ticket it's
about three hundred bucks a pop.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Forty five hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
They just kind of checked for five grand to everybody
who had Sunday ticket as part of this lawsuit. I
think everybody would be happy with that now, like, like
just five grand straight to you. They'll send it over
from the NFL. That way, I could sit here and
say like, hey, I too have received a check from
the NFL, So five thousand dollars I too? Yeah, I

(16:33):
would make me feel like, would you guys be happy
with five thousand dollars from the NFL? Does that feel like?

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Why are you asking? Like it's a setup? I don't
even want to I'm not. I'm just the way you're
proposing it.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Oh, okay, how do you want me to propose it?

Speaker 5 (16:45):
Hey, the NFL is going to pay people who got
screwed over by NFL Sunday ticket. But I was one
of those people. Yes, I fall in this category. I'm
excited for this.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
All right.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
They got to pay you about five grand, I'd be like, cool,
I'm sweet.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, see that were lee five grand? You get it
with that for your Sunday ticket troubles.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
I could use a bit more, but I'll take five grand.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
I could use a bit more. God, Lee, you got
to pay you. They got to pay you for your
bit more that you could use.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah, it's expensive, very expensive. How many years have we
been doing it?

Speaker 7 (17:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (17:19):
But how many games a year?

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Would you say that you go watch them watch Sunday
games at a bar as opposed at home?

Speaker 7 (17:25):
But did it cost you five grand? Lee? I?

Speaker 3 (17:28):
I yes, Well it hurt my feelings, so yes, they
got to pay for that too.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Yeah. It's suffering.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yeah, pain and suffering emotional stress, everything that came along
with it.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
Remind me to never have you ride in my vehicle.
All right.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Now, I don't know if this is just a Mike
Florio concoction or if anybody else has kind of kicked
this around, But the thought is, if the NFL is
going to have to come up with this fourteen billion
dollars to pay off this lawsuit that they lost, then
they're going to have to come up with a way
to try and generate revenue. And one of the ways

(18:04):
that you can generate that revenue is by adding another
game to the schedule, And apparently the NFL is not
opposed to if if they've got to do it, they've
got to do it. Retake Labor Day weekend back, which
I think college football has done a great job at
at building over the past several years.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
I thought you were going to say, open strip clubs
in the stadiums.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
No, I mean, but that'll work too. I mean, if
they want to.

Speaker 7 (18:30):
Just saying, you know, I don't know, so some revenue.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
So the thought would be much like how college football
does on Labor Day weekend. You basically are just inundated
with games all weekend long, like Thursday, Friday, you know,
potentially Saturday, Sunday game, Monday game. That's going to be
what their go to is. We've got to make up
this money. Maybe we use this as a way to

(18:55):
get eighteen games. It just feels like eventually this is
going to happen. But I think it's going to happen
within the next year or two years that we're.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Actually got because of the NFL Sunny Ticket.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
I think, just because the NFL wants it as bad
as they do, and the fact that the NFLPA is
already bracing for the discussions to happen soon.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
I think it's under two years.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Is it four and fifty million per team? Is that
the number I saw?

Speaker 7 (19:20):
Yes? Yes, And that's more.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Of The issue is, like, I don't know that every
owner's here would come up with four to fifty million, right.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
So here's what I want to ask you. What does
this mean for Roger Goodell that this happened? Is this
a hot seat situation?

Speaker 7 (19:35):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (19:35):
God?

Speaker 7 (19:35):
No? Why not million?

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Come up with solution?

Speaker 7 (19:40):
What was just say.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
We're gonna have an eighteenth game? Boom?

Speaker 7 (19:44):
Did it? There? You guys go? I don't know if
that's going to be I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
That's the only issue Roger Goodell's ever had during his
time is when he wanted to play judge, jury and
executioner early on when he was handing out suspensions and
and it was trying to make up for the fact
that the Ray Rice handling was a disaster.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Other than that, from a.

Speaker 7 (20:05):
Business it's a big, big gaf, I.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Mean, but business wise, he's done pretty damn well for
himself as far as a commissioner goes and growing the
game and everything.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Who's ultimately to blame though? Is it ultimately the NFL
because they're the ones that have to foot the bill
for this? Is it ultimately Roger Hudell for this? I mean,
I don't know specifics enough to know, ultimately who is
to blame for it. I know, when you're at the
top like that, you got to take ownership over it.
But what's interesting to me is they can find ways

(20:38):
of taking on debt to cover this payment or the settlement,
and I think they're appealing it if I'm not mistaken. Yeah,
So it's not like this is going to happen anytime soon.
It'll probably get dragged out in the courts for at
least other year. But to prepare themselves for that potential payout,
whether it's four and fifty million per team or less,

(21:00):
the eighteenth game is is something that's real. And I
think what Roger Goodell has in his back pocket that
he's always done for this owners is he's continually generated
more revenue for this league time and time and time again.
And I think the other thing when you start looking
at all, right, like what else could help drive revenue?
Some of these games we have them have them in

(21:21):
international cities. You know, it's a little more favorable in
the sense of you're getting cities to pay you to
be there to play. I mean, that's that's the sort
of excitement about you know, the different you know, international
cities hosting you. So maybe he looks at that as
a potential another economic driver. I'm not sure, but I
understand what you're saying, var like, he's got to take

(21:43):
accountability for this. Yeah, but I almost I almost get
the sense they're they're more getting caught, like they were
all complicit in it and they get caught like that's
how that's how it more feels it'd be no different
if you could finally catch these owners colluding. Which to
sit there and say there's not collusion that goes on,

(22:04):
you be nuts. It does. It's just you're never gonna
be able to prove it, right, And that's the hard part.
And this is one instance where you can essentially see
it like, yeah, they were probably all aware of this
and what was happening, and they were okay with it
because they're making money hand over fists.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
Wow, that's I mean, I don't want to jump to
any conclusions, but it sounds like that that could be
spot on, you know, to think that everybody was complicit
in the approach to everything that was taking place. But
even with that being said, you know, there's always the
Chris Carter dial, and I don't think that that only.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
Applies to players.

Speaker 6 (22:39):
I think it applies to owners and gms and presidents
and all kinds of stuff too. You got to have
a fall guy, and when you get paid the type
of money that Roger Gigdale gets paid.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
I mean in these types of situations.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
I mean, you'd have to assume unless he can find
a fall guy that's good enough to be the fall
guy for him, then now.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
It would be our fall guy.

Speaker 7 (23:02):
Would it be Lee? Lee?

Speaker 5 (23:04):
No, May'd be the fall guy?

Speaker 4 (23:05):
I don't think so, do you think you?

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Jonas?

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Uh? Probably what to be you?

Speaker 7 (23:11):
I mean, because you've run if he runs the show.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
That's not true. Lee runs a show.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
That's well, there you go, there's your fault already, back
to the beginning.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, but you can't.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
You can't just point all the blame at him, like
there's got to be somebody else with him with him?
What about like Sam or Berto? They love to sign
and dry. Why do we blame them? They could be
fall guys.

Speaker 7 (23:31):
No, that would be ten dollars.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Why is that ten dollars?

Speaker 7 (23:34):
That's so passive? Aggressive?

Speaker 4 (23:36):
What's passive?

Speaker 6 (23:37):
You were passively joking around, but you were being dead Seriously.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
What do you mean they left to sign and dry
they did.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
I don't really mind it.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
To be honest with you, I'm with Jonas in this one.
I mean, like, I'm okay with it being passive aggressive
in this case.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
I'm team Lorraine all the way. I mean, boy totally
as I'm concerned both of them.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Yeah, all I'll say is is that the fall galllet
of this show should be one Jonas Knox.

Speaker 7 (24:06):
It should be Jonas, but it would be Lee because.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
You'll try to make sure Lee would like not check
a box here or there or do something that would
cause them to get caught.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Do you think the NFLPA is going to have the
balls this time to vote against eighteen games or are
we looking at it's going.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
To be because I guess the vote.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Get something back in return, you know, okay.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
But like what could they possibly get back in return
that would suffice playing an extra game? There's going to
be another bye week, like expanding the schedule, Like what
could they possibly get back in return that would be
okay for them to go ahead?

Speaker 4 (24:46):
And next health.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
Whole continue to say this invested veterans lifetime healthcare.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
And do you think there's a possibility of that happening.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
Hell, no dang fight for that.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
So what's a more realistic.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Someone think that would be really worth it? Honest, it
would impact the past, president and future, Like every single
player who gets vested would no longer have to have
that concern. It would be something that would pay off
huge dividends for all involved. Yet they won't even sniff it.
They won't even touch it, and they should.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
So what is a more realistic option for them that
they would accept. I don't know that the NFL would
throw out there because what was it? It was less
strict drug testing last time? What if they let them
smoke grass on the sidelines during games?

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Like?

Speaker 4 (25:41):
What about that?

Speaker 5 (25:41):
He like?

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Is that something? Dang?

Speaker 7 (25:44):
Like? He's halftime.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
And by the way, Marshawn Lynch, what's she doing? I'm
to do Wait?

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Marshawn Lynch said that he used to do shots of
Hennessy before games.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
There was a few dudes that used to do some
things that were, you know, irresponsible.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
They do shots before games, alcohol.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Brou There's a few dudes that that you know, they did.
They had their pregame routines.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
What were those routines?

Speaker 7 (26:17):
Pregame routines, Like what don't worry.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
About it, Jonas, I'm asking for names here. If you
want to give out their jersey numbers or Twitter handles,
I'll figure it out from there.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
But like what, I'm just saying that everybody ain't you know,
cleansing their palette or you know, hydrating themselves fully before games.

Speaker 7 (26:35):
That's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 6 (26:36):
Yeah, yeah, you know, it just depends on you know
who who it is.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
But anyway, a couple of throat burners before the game
for kickoff, I.

Speaker 7 (26:46):
Don't know some people. You know, everybody has different ways
of approaching their stress, different strokes for different folks, right,
that's right, that's.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Right, Yeah, quite literally.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
Sometimes even the night before. To be honest, you know, well,
I mean that's you know, that's not to be expected.
What do you mean not in football? We're we're we're
like the most policed chaperone people there there is, Like
it's it's like you're you're part of a uh you know,

(27:21):
I don't know, like you're on probation, like you're a
constantly monitored I just don't even understand why people went
to the limps that they did to be able to
sneak out of the hotel the night before a game
like where Where to Me?

Speaker 7 (27:37):
Man?

Speaker 6 (27:38):
But nothing like Trust and Believe. There is always like
a handful of dudes that would make it out. What
would would they find the freedom? I don't know how.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Would they do the Ferris Bueller where they'd have a
mannequin in bed and.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
Bro I do not know how. I do not know how.
That's all I'm gonna say, and I'm being dead serious.
I do not know how.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Oh way, did you hear this?

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Did you hear the story about Lawrence Taylor when he
was playing for the Giants that he was in a
limo like in the city he was coming back from
he had been like partying all night and all day
and he was driving by Giant Stadium and he saw
some lights on it. He was like, what the hell's
going on over there? And he didn't realize there was
a game happening that night, Like he'd completely forgotten because

(28:23):
he'd gotten so blind the night before. So he literally
he literally went in there and sued it up and
went out and had like two or three sacks in
that game. That seems a bit far fetched, yet people
have said that's a that's a real story.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
So I played in New York for one year, and
all I'll say is the stories are Paul Bunyan like stories,
but just with drugs connected to it and prostitutes. I mean,
that's you know. But they tell the stories as if

(28:58):
it's like a badge honor, Like, hey, look, man, he
was tore up like he was out, but man, did
he play the best game that I ever saw in
my entire life. Like that's like how they talk about him.
So I don't know. Man, I interviewed him one time,
I've met him a few times. Seems like a solid
dude to me. But you know, you just never know

(29:18):
how people handle their approach to to what it is
that they're doing.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Maybe we should try what he used to see if
our shows get better, we should try that out for
like a week, We'll do what he did.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
What do you think?

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yeah, I'm a stick. I'm a stick to just be
a natural man. Yea, I ride my natural haghs damn two?

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Oh yeah yeah, little captain hook over there.

Speaker 6 (29:45):
A little booger sugar, all right, A little little lightning
bolt in the air problem, you know, And why not?

Speaker 5 (29:52):
I mean, well, let's say we could tap into that.
Maybe some mummy dust on some mummy dust, some full.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Circle do some face angels and un the hell you
like snow angels, but with your face.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
When you heard somewhere very hardcore, that was hardcore?

Speaker 5 (30:11):
What do you mean?

Speaker 7 (30:12):
I don't know, man, that wasn't softcore. That was hardcore. Man,
face Face Angel, damns.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
We're going to have an FSR I R coming up
here shortly though. But for all the latest from around
the world of sports. He's our face Angel. He's Eddie Garcia.

Speaker 7 (30:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (30:28):
I don't know how I feel about that. I don't
think I feel very good about that.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Actually, oh yeah, Eddie, where does Bobby Bonie rank on
your all time favorite Pittsburgh Pirates?

Speaker 10 (30:38):
I really liked him a lot, and then he went
to the Mets and then I hated his guts?

Speaker 4 (30:41):
So where is that? That was one year with the Mets, right,
I don't believe. I don't know. I think he played
more than one year with the Mets. One year, but
yeah he was.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Oh yeah, he went back for one year. But yeah,
he played three years after the Pirates and then went
back for another year.

Speaker 10 (30:59):
And I, yeah, it's been a while. From my from
my buckos LeVar would LeVar would know that.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
But I do know.

Speaker 10 (31:08):
Yeah, we'll see.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
They have a nice ballpark though they raised the Jolly Roger.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
Hey, it is a very nice ballpark. And it's you know,
it's a walking district, so yeah, yeah, good spot. And
the casinos right down the street, all right, and there's
a lot of nice places to eat food right around.
So I mean it's just a cool environment. They just
don't win enough games.

Speaker 10 (31:30):
Imagine we imagine if they actually had a good, good team, how.

Speaker 7 (31:34):
Would be nice? Yeah, maybe one day.

Speaker 10 (31:37):
We got some breaking news overnight trying to from the
NBA insider Adrian warg Enarowski reporting that nine time All
Star forward Paul George agreeing on a four year, two
UR and twelve MILLIONAR Max contract with the Philadelphia seventy
six Ers. He leaves the Clippers after five seasons. Meanwhile,

Speaker 6 (33:44):
So, you know, I've been fighting this little hey cold,
little sinus cold, kind of feel like sinus infection.

Speaker 7 (33:52):
Still still getting over a little bit.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
But you know it's all right because my birthday was yesterday, right, Yeah,
So I was like f all that, like being like
sick and all that. So I just started drinking, but
I was responsibly drinking. I was drinking tequila with freshly
squeezed or what they called.

Speaker 7 (34:13):
How is how how do.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
You start.

Speaker 6 (34:17):
Yeah depressed or what or something like that now it
was watermelon, you know, and like apparently watermelon is like
really good for you. So anyways, I've been I was
smashing those back.

Speaker 7 (34:28):
We had a shoot yesterday.

Speaker 6 (34:31):
We had something to shoot content wise, to create for
something that's happening pretty shortly in the in the near
future here, and we went on a hike.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
But we were like, let's wait until six.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
Pm to do this because that's when the like the
lighting and everything will be you know, perfect to shoot.
And uh, let's just say I had to grab my knees.
And I'm not a kne grabber, but I had to
grab my knees at least, I'm gonna say, uncharacteristically eleven

(35:08):
twelve times on the way up this hill, this this
trail to go film what we were going to film.

Speaker 7 (35:15):
So there you go.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
That's mine, just painfully, painfully faded and trying to figure
out how you're going to get to where you're trying
to go. And and it was interesting coming back down
because it was almost like the same thing, but just

(35:38):
not going up.

Speaker 7 (35:39):
And that is my week's I are my birthday.

Speaker 6 (35:43):
I almost bit it a couple of times coming back
down the trail, but going up, I had to keep
stopping because well, I just was a little bit not
in the space in mind frame to make it up
that that mountain side.

Speaker 7 (35:58):
Thank you people.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
For those of you who are confused when LeVar Arrington's
birthday is, that is by design. We were all confused.

Speaker 7 (36:07):
We didn't really know. There you go.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
But it's are you admitting now that it was yesterday?

Speaker 6 (36:12):
It was yesterday? Okay, I'll admit today that it was
bits yesterday. But like once we get started back in
the next rotation, you know, it's just back to the normal,
you know.

Speaker 5 (36:22):
Okay, Yeah, Because I'll be honest with you, I was like,
we were talking the other week and I'm like, I
don't know when to tell you happy birthday, so I'm
just to say it early and then hopefully that covers
all of it.

Speaker 7 (36:31):
You got it, You got the right date. Yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
That's the spot.

Speaker 7 (36:36):
There you go. But that was my ir yeah, my
lung four little little draft.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
I played in a member guest last week, and a
bit disappointing a member guest is when you play golf,
you know, you're a member of a club and then
you bring in a guest to play with you. And
we had won this last year, and it would have
been nice to win it back to back years. However,
I was told that it's it's a big taboo, like

(37:03):
you don't want to you don't want to win it
two years in a row. So anyway, because then you
look like you're you're a sandbagger, like you're you're handy
caps not exactly right, which is funny because I'm the
one that like people will claim that with However, I'd
tell every group, I'm like, if you play a round
of golf with me, you'll be like, yeah, no, that's

(37:23):
that's his legit handicap. He's not that good at golf. However,
because we took on this approach of all right, you know,
let's just have fun, we got absolutely after it. And
uh it was I had quite the twenty four hours
between Friday and Saturday, So what do you want me?

(37:45):
Put it this way? There was a room in the
house where there's about six of us smoking cigars, and I, uh,
my wife's out of town, and I woke up the
next morning I was like, oh god, the entire house
smells like a cigar. So I I've done my best
over the past forty eight to seventy two hours the
air out the entire house. The only thing I remember

(38:08):
from the night was at one point the entire room
looked like we were a hot boxing with cigars, like
it was just filled with smoke, and I was like, yeah,
that probably wasn't a good idea. So I am trying
my best to air out this house right now. If
anyone has any good ideas as to some air fresheners
or something to do before my wife gets home, that
would be fantastic possible, that's what.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
So the wagon sent me a pick of you at
eight thirty Pacific time, but eleven thirty Eastern time on
Friday night, I'm gonna have passed out now.

Speaker 7 (38:40):
It sounds like we had the same type of weekends.
That was.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
It wasn't my birthday, but I was celebrated yours, that's
for sure.

Speaker 7 (38:47):
Yeah, it did.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
You with a cigar in your mouth.

Speaker 6 (38:50):
I had to tobacco leaves, and my tobacco leaf I'll
tell you that cigar in your mouth.

Speaker 7 (38:56):
I had a cigar in my mouth. But Brady's got
a tobacco.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
He's got a cigar in his mouth, and he's got
his head set on like he's.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
Doing the show absolutely mangled. I almost FaceTime Lee just
how I see how mangled Lee was
