(01:22):
Lee to lap Bar executive producer over the course of
the weekend. Guy had a long weekend, did a lot
of damage, got on the liverloop early, and just continue
to go down that slide all the way through. He
left out a key was a.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Very very key part of the story. Left out.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Well, I was thinking about another part.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Oh, oh wow, leave that right there.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Lee went to the Lee went to the movies, Yes
he did. Yeah, there's a reason I left that part out.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
What happened I've heard with the movie.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I don't know, because I fell asleep during the trailers
and I did not wake up until people got up
for the credits.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
By the way, how slaughtered must you have been day
drinking that you slept through in a movie theater? How
many people were in the theater.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It was a full theater, So a full theater in fact, yeah,
in fact I got the handicap seat because it was
a full theater.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And you slept through all day noise.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Just keep sleeping because you was in the handicap chair.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
So this guy's handicap, we clearly need to leave him
wherever he is right there?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Does he need assistance that they have to wake you
up to leave?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I don't remember exactly how that part happened, but I
do remember being very refreshed after that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I know this that when Lee sleeps, he sleeps because
when we were in I think we were in Columbia
at one of the Graduate hotel. Yeah, we were at
the Graduate Hotels remote that we did out there, and
we went out and took an uber back and it
wasn't like a long uber drive, but it was a
little bit long of a walk, and I was like, yeah,
(03:03):
I'll just get an uber and he was in no
shave to walk anywhere, and he was out cold, like
closed the door, completely out cold. When the uber driver
turned the corner to pull into the front of the hotel,
he didn't have a seatbelt on and went flying across
the seat and didn't wake up, literally.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Didn't wake up, didn't wake up, like literally.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Throwing somebody down a flight of stairs and just check it.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Not even I might be hurt. When I wake up,
we'll worry about that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Not even one of those didn't even open his eyes
to be like, oh do I have a scratch or anything,
just completely out cold like.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Le He's like one of those.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That big piece of luggage they just throw around on
baggage claim they're like, got whatever, it's not going to
go anywhere, Like we'll just throw that down the heap
and then somebody else will figure it out. Yeah, he
just when he sleeps, he sleeps movie theater and all.
So I slept Northridge earthquake and I was in Northridge.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
He just sleep through earthquakes. I've only felt like literally
one or two earthquakes since being here. Like I'll wake up,
stuff will be on the floor. People will be like,
oh my gosh, did you feel the earthquake. I'd be like,
I was sleep okay.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It happened at the ninety four earthquake. For people listening,
I was in southern California, Like just to give you perspective,
they was listed as a six point seven. And I
remember my dad at the time because we lived in
Thousand Oaks and that's like, you know, twenty twenty five
minute drive away from Northridge, and I remember my dad
(04:38):
at the time saying, there's no way that was a
six point seven seven to one. He's like, it was
had to be more than a six to seven because
places got destroyed. I mean, it was well, and the
after shocks were in the fives. Yeah, whole morning. Japan
marked it as a seven to one. But if the
insurance company sees it as over a seven and it
(05:00):
raises everything, So they marked it as a six nine
or six five. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh, they was about to get smashed.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, and you were in Northridge and you slept through
the entire thing. Yeah. How old are you at the time?
Six or seven? Okay, so he probably had like what
two three beers? That was pretty What do you mean, listen,
he was taking his time. Damn Well, listen you.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
How old was he? Six or seven? Three? Four beers?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Like two bottles next to his crib? Well, listen, what
a what a life? What a weekend? Well, I mean,
here's what we do know about what's going on in
the world of sports. And we kind of made the
point that, you know, there's not a lot of action,
(05:56):
especially last night, you had like five six baseball games.
There was a couple of summer league games. But one
of the storylines has been kind of carrying a lot
of people through these difficult times as we wait for
football to start in training camp and all that fun stuff.
Is what the hell's going on with the Los Angeles Lakers.
And I was unaware of this. I did not know
that the Lakers did make a big addition this offseason,
(06:20):
not just Brownnie James, but Gilbert Arenas. And if you don't.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Think so, chill Gil.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Why don't you take a listen to Gilbert Arenas, who
is on Gil's Arena podcast discussing some of the deals
and rumors about deals that the Lakers have made so far.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
We didn't offer nobody to know eighty million dollar. Stop man,
stop listening to Wojion. And we didn't offer him no
eighty million. We didn't offer that damn coach, no seventy million.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Man.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Y'all crazy, this crazy talk. See, this is why we
we the Lakers. Man, you use our name to get famous,
they use the Laker brand to boost up there their
financial status and other teams. We did not offer these
people that kind of money.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, so I was aware.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
That he's he's from here. I know he's from and
most guys that are from here do that. TJ does
that all the time on up on game. Make sure
you tune in to Levin on yeah noon to two
if you're on the East coast.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
But he says like anybody that's from here says like us,
my team or or you know, they talk like they
work there or are part of it.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So I understood where he was coming from.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
But more importantly, the content, the context of the content.
I think it's interesting, like what would be what would
be the advantage towards and those guys doing that? If
anybody why can't why claim cap on on something like this?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
If anything, I would say, and a lot of those
guys have been carrying the water for Lebron and getting
his side of the story out before any of this stuff,
like they're the ones that we're trying to throw out there.
That Yo. By the way, Lebron, you know, wanted to
be left out of the JJ Reddick hiring. No, he
had no input or no saying that he's a fan
(08:20):
of JJ Reddick, but he wanted to leave it up
to the organization like they've been. If anything, they've been
trying to make it look way better than it actually
has gone this off season, which I would argue it's
probably been a great off season for Lebron, James and
the family. I mean, everybody got paid, everybody got drafted.
They're good. It's just the organization that's, you know, kind
(08:41):
of been a tough spot. And it actually reminds me
a little bit of Kobe Bryant's final years with the Lakers,
to where they gave him that last big deal. He
got paid, but everyone recognized, dude, they're not close to
being able to compete for a title. And Lebron can
say whatever he wants about Oh, I think we're still
in contention. I think we're still in contention. You got
(09:04):
worse this offseason while other teams got best.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
For certain, they did not get better.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
And it just it just goes back to the original
point of if you had a thought process of We
heard yesterday that it was reported that that Hurley turned
down a difference of like twenty million dollars six years.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Fifty million is what he took at Yukon.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Can you imagine what that man had to hear on
his job conversation I'll say interview, we could say interview.
I guess what did you hear in a job interview
that would make you pass up on a job that
gives you a twenty million dollar pay raise.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Think about it. I mean it had to be.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It had to be to him some of the most
egregious ass that you could hear in order for him
to say, yeah, I'm good, I'm good here, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I'm not, I'm not in need of twenty million dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Does not, does not make me feel comfortable or confident
in where I can go and what I can be
as a coach, and where I will end up being,
and where I will end up what I'll end up
doing if I take this job, even if I received
the twenty million dollars, like that to me to pass
(10:32):
up twenty million dollars difference, that's said something was really
really bad.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
It was bad because.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean, everybody's got a price, right, It's the old
million dollar man.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I mean, you got to believe that everybody's got a price.
I mean, hey, twenty million not you.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Hey, I'll tell you. I said it. Yeah, I said
when we were filling in for the Herd yesterday, I
would play for the worst team in the league. Gladly
for some of them, I need to be thrown around.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Hey buddy, don't party with Diddy though, So it's kind
of like me that like the price tag is maybe
that price tag is a little too deep man. Maybe
it's a too big steep. Maybe it's a little too
steep man. Maybe the thing, maybe the things that you
know you got to take part in to get that
twenty million dollars different.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Maybe it just ain't worth it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Who partied with Diddy?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Brad video surface in there talking about ain't no party
like a Diddy party? I mean, does that that's out
there that them? I don't know. I don't use banana boat.
That's not a term I use.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh yeah, no, there was a there's a picture that
went around where Lebron and I think it was Chris
Paul and was it Carmelo Anthony We're all sitting on
a banana boat just kind of hanging out altogether, you know,
just uh it was listen, it's out there. I don't
know if it was photoshopped or not, but it was there.
So I was just wondering if that was like and
at a pool party or because I had no idea
(12:03):
that he hung out with Diddy.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But you know, maybe, uh.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean, I'm just saying maybe that.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Was the By the way, could you imagine if Danny
Hurley actually came out and said, listen, love the opportunity,
love Lebron as a player. Cannot say enough good things
about the organization. They treated me nicely, They were great
to my family. The money was great. But you know,
he hung out with Diddy. I don't know what to
tell you like that.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I mean, I just can't. I can't do it. I
just can't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It just but when you put in Danny Hurley, you
put in all the other options that were out there
and potentially available for them to try and acquire this offseason,
and all have chosen. Whether it was Klay Thompson wanted
to go to Dallas. You know, there was the old
well you know, the state income tax and you know
Texas compared to California. Oh okay, So what was the
(12:57):
DeMar deroz an excuse? Because he's playing as that And
if you would have told Laker fans California years Agoah,
if you would have told Laker fans years ago that
and again it was a sign and trade and all that.
But I feel like that would be something potentially that
the Lakers would want to pull off, because we've been
hearing about DeMar DeRozan potentially being a Laker for a
long time because he's from out here and I think
(13:20):
he was on stage with Kendrick Lamar and so people thought, well,
you know, does that mean he's coming back home? And
are they trying to work behind the scenes. And he
ends up in Sacramento on a three year deal and
not with Lebron and the Lakers. I just I look
at it and I go, it feels like a lot
of teams around the NBA got better. It feels like
Minnesota took a big step last year. Denver is going
(13:41):
to be back and they're going to bounce back. And
neither one of those teams were in the finals. Dallas was.
They got better, but not the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Here's a probably a question, here's a trivia question for you.
Who's the most high profile signing that the Lakers have
had this offseason?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Ronnie James Pale.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
That's deep.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I mean when you put it in that, in that
manner and that that.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Frame, I mean, if we're going to be honest.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Bronnie James.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Is the highest profile signing that the Lakers had this year.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Look, they did this at the end of Kobe's run.
They were playing for headlines, not for titles. And if
we're going to be honest about it, what is the
most talked about acquisition this entire NBA off season?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
So fIF fifth pick right has been the most talked
about draft pick period, not even close.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And look, we discussed earlier Jerry Jones and the greatness
of Jerry Jones. The Cowboys are always a talking point,
even when they're mediocre.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
That's the brilliance of it. I'm telling you, you got
to give Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
You have to, Yes, you have to.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I mean even if it means his kids, like they
going to be in the headlines now, I mean, it's
it's it's amazing marketing.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yeah, it's amazing, Like it's it's it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I mean it really is.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
It's just it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, And I might even I'm not even saying that
to be a wise ass. It legitimately is the biggest
storyline this NBA off season, and it's Lebron James who's
kind of behind the scenes orchestrating everything.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I mean, think about right now, where we're at in
this ditch spot of time and space and sports outside
of baseball, Think about what what are you what's on
your mind about sports right now? When is Bronnie going
to play right? And what is that going What are
(15:49):
the results going to be? What is that going to
look like? Like, that's that's what's going on right now.
If you look at social media, the discussions of this
man just did at an entire diatribe on how his
son doesn't care about what people say or think of him.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Like.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
What amazing athlete, goat athlete, pro player has to say
that has to do interviews about their son saying that.
Think about the amount of mess of stuff they're hearing
for him to to address the media that way to him,
(16:36):
to address that that type of question that way, Think
about what they're saying about him and his son, Like
that's that is to me. You you got to be
a different type of special to be able to shoulder
what it is that they're shouldering right now. And if
I'm Lebron, if I'm Lebron James, I can say I'm
(16:58):
the goat. When you're the goat, you can tell people
to kiss your ass, But what about your son? What
does Bronnie say, The only recourse that he has, the
only defense mechanism that he possibly could execute that makes
(17:18):
any type of sense at this.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Point is not caring.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Lebron offered up the only antidote that makes sense to
a young man that has nothing else to stand on.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
You can't stand.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
On the fact that your dad is the greatest basketball
one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Can't do it.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
You can't stand on the fact that, despite what y'all say,
I had a dope ass high school career, I had
a dope ass college career, and now I got drafted
to the Lakers and I'm about to have a dope
ass NBA career.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Can't do it, can't win with him, can't do it.
So what are you going to lean on? Oh, he
doesn't care, he doesn't care what you say.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Why he care?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Man?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I bet you lebron be going in the corner of
his room and his plush, spacious, amazing looking house or
wherever it is that he is in the world, because
they probably living life, doing well, you know what I mean,
and he probably cries in the corner like what have
I done?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'll bet I'll bet Bronny had a sweet room growing up.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Though.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You remember you remember the movie The Toy with Richard Pryor Man,
that little rich kid who had.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
They stopped stock They stocked a little water with with piranhas.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Like he by the ways in this water under the
radar until you watch it again and you go, oh no,
this is full blown racist.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Oh it's one of the most racist prejudice, bigoted like storylines, plots,
and one of the funniest movies you'll ever watch.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I wanted a wonder Wheel so bad after I saw
him rolling around. I'm the wonder Wheel of the ball
I want It was so bad. But that kid had
every toy you could possibly imagine to have a person
a person. It just happened to be a have a
person a black guy, right. I want him.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I want him.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
He's not for sale. I want him.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
I want him, and he got him.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Oh man, well look hopefully Broddy had a bit.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I want to get drafted, daddy. I want to play
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No having a wonder Wheel, no no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
No no. I want to play in the NBA, daddy.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Damn By the way, they I want that man, but.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I don't care I want him. Uh they still make
wonder wheels. If they do, we got to get our
hands on those. It is Two Pros and a Cup
of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio, Lebar Arrington, Jonas
Knox with you Coming up next here though from the
Tirack dot Com Studios, we are going to discuss a
player in the NFL who's taken a unique approach to
try to get what he wants. Find out what it
(20:06):
is here on FSR.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
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 app.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Polly Foods Go here with Tony Foodsco. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Tony Foodsco Show.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
But instead of us telling you how great we are,
here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
our show.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
You don't interrupting our promo.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Oh yeah, Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Shut up.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Toni Fousco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yee.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here
on the sports radio Lbar Harrington Jonas Knox of the
Year coming up in about a little over fifteen minutes
from now, we are going to have another edition of
You In or You Out. That'll be yours here on
FSR from the tire rack dot Com studio. So I
got to give it up to Brandon Nyuk. He's got
(21:24):
some interesting ways to try and get traded or get
a contract or whatever he wants to try and pull
off when it comes to getting what he wants because
I want him. I want him, I don't care, I
want him.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Stand yeah. So Brandon All.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
He took to his own TikTok page did Brandon Ayuk,
and he posted footage of himself watching Washington Commander's practice. Now,
he's been very vocal about the fact that his good
buddy Jaden Daniels, who he played with in college, he
is now the quarterback with the Washington Commanders. He has said, Hey,
(22:05):
if I don't, if I'm not with the Niners, I
want to be with the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
If not there, you know, he mentioned the Commanders, he
mentioned the Steelers. But here we are, and it feels
like right when they come to terms, we had a
great talk, everything's all good. Then he does stuff like
this to try and get the ball rolling on potentially
(22:26):
a new deal as training camp approaches, and it feels
like we've talked about this a little bit before that
either he's going to play on the fifth year option,
which is about fourteen million dollars or whatever it is
that he's going to get this upcoming season in and
around that range, or he's going to get traded. But
if he pulls this, doesn't it make it a little
(22:48):
bit more difficult for the forty nine ers to have
to swallow the fact that they're trading away a player
they'd like to keep but is unhappy. When every team
in the NFL now knows, oh, he's making this difficult
on they're going to have to take a worse offer
from us to try and get this deal done. Why
not just keep your mouth shut, don't say anything. Let
(23:08):
them work behind the scenes to orchestrate a deal, and
stop making it so difficult when it comes to the negotiations.
Because now every team in the NFL, like Washington for example,
knows the forty nine ers got to move on from me.
He doesn't want to be there anymore. So what let's
just lowball the offer and that way we'll try and
get this deal done. Like I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Whether whether that offer, whether the negotiating was in public
or not, it doesn't matter because Jaydon Daniels is Brandon
Nyuk's former teammate, and they have a relationship, and so
understanding that there is a personal relationship connected to the
(23:51):
Washington Commanders and Brandon Nyuk, whether it played out in
the public or not, the commanders are fully away of
what Brandon I you has going on with the forty
nine ers, and I would venture to say that probably
exists with other teams that he's mentioned that he's interested in.
(24:14):
So the fact that it's playing out publicly, it really
doesn't matter. All it is is entertainment for everybody that's
out there. This is this is how if you hadn't noticed,
this is really how business is done. This is how
negotiating is done in a lot of ways now is
through social media.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
It's so weird.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Man, it's basketball, it's baseball, it's football, it's soccer, it's.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Tennis, it's it's you name it.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Negotiations, power plays, you name it are done through social media.
And it's almost like if you garner whichever side, if
the person, the athlete puts it out there, and they
garner enough public attention to it and enough outrage, enough
(25:05):
support connected to what they're doing, it puts As you mentioned,
it's a tremendous amount of pressure that's put on on
these these these organizations, and whether they budge or not,
you still know that they did that. There could be
implications beyond if something doesn't go the way it's supposed
(25:28):
to go for that team.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
In particular, what happened of the good old days when
people just kept their mouths shut and didn't run to
social media to air their grievance.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Because there wasn't any social media to run to. Come on,
you know, the good old days where you actually went
to the bar and had a drink with the person
that was writing about you. The good old days where
both of those dudes, the athlete and the reporter got
drunk his hell at the bar, and and the local
police officer said, hey, y'all, would drive y'all home and
(25:58):
knows their wives by their first name.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Were you a part of those meetings?
Speaker 5 (26:03):
I'm not that old. I'm not that old, but I
have heard stories. I did grow up knowing a few
influential Steelers when when I was growing up. I've heard
some pretty cool stories. And I know some really really
cool media people too as well. You know, it's very
historically driven in Pittsburgh, so I have heard some really
(26:26):
really cool stories. But I'm too young for that. That
era of it.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Just it just feels like such an odd, odd thing, like.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
And I understand it's disingenuous anymore, right, I just I
understand where Brandon Ayuk's coming from, because, look, I want
to deal done.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would like to stay in San Francisco if possible.
But then it's like he runs to social media and
he posts, you know, there's a video him watching another
team's practice, and then it's you know, him telling I
might have been Jade Daniel. Well, you know, I want
to stay in San Francisco, but they don't want me
like it just it comes off kind of immature, Like
(27:06):
there's just something about it that I look at and go, well,
why not just have like like do some of this
stuff behind the scenes, like work with him. Like the
Niners are not shy about trading, Like in fact, they'll
give away three first round picks for a quarterback that
they cut a year and a half later, like they're
they're okay, or trade away a year and a half later,
they're okay with that. San Francisco is not afraid of
(27:27):
doing deals. And the general manager in Washington now is
Adam Peters, who was with the Niners. So it's like
there's a there's a connection there. I just I look
at it and I go, why make it more difficult
if you really want to get a deal done or
get traded somewhere? We're going to get a deal done.
Like when Dallas signed Amari Cooper to the contract extension.
(27:52):
That contract extension was done the second they gave up
a first round pick for Amari Cooper, because then you're
already pot committed. They're not going to trade away for
a guy, give up a first round pick and then
not re sign him as soon as they have an opportunity,
so it was already a done deal. But if you
are making it difficult on the niners to get anything
of value in return for your services, then whoever acquires you,
(28:17):
if they're only trading away a fourth round pick, maybe
they're not as incentivized to want to give you a
deal as opposed to if you just stay quiet, let
them work behind the scenes. Maybe somebody gives up a second,
maybe a third for you, and then they look at
you as we've got to get our return on investment.
Let's give him the deal he wants. But instead he
just keeps running to social media and posting this crap up.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
But you're also stating it as if that's how it's
going to play out, if he were to be quiet,
and I you know, we'll never know because he has
taken it to social media.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
But with that being.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Said, that's not necessarily how it's going to play out.
And listen, whether you subscribe to being noisy about what
you have going on or being quiet about it. I mean,
old school says be quiet about it. New school seems
(29:13):
to be more about liberating, you know, liberation of how
you feel, liberation of how you treated, liberation of how
things are supposed to happen and how they're supposed to
go down, you know, battle against the machine type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I just you know, it depends on what side you
fall on it.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But I mean, when you really think about it, Brandon
Ayuk is is taking the approach of you know and
the sat questions. You know, they ask you, if a
tree falls in the forest and no one's there to
see it fall, doesn't make a noise, And the answer
is whatever you want it to be. Sensibly speaking, you
(29:55):
know that a tree as big as it is, if
it falls, it's going to make a noise. But yet
and still, if no one is there to see it fall,
you're not going to hear the noise that it makes.
So it just depends on what side you fall on.
Some people subscribe to the fact that I need to
(30:15):
make sure that people know that this tree falling is
making a noise, while others will subscribe to the fact
that it never made a noise at all because nobody's there.
So if nobody's ever heard what Brandon Nyuk has to
say about what he has going on, contractually nobody hears
what's going on. Nobody cares out of sight, out of mind,
(30:37):
and they could go either way. They could decide to
do the deal, or they could decide not to do
the deal.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But nobody knows regardless one way or the other. If
it's silent.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
How do you think this plays out. I don't think
he's getting from that.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
I don't think he gets I think he has to.
I think he has to agree to a deal that
he didn't want. If he gets a deal done with
the Niners and he plays it out, it doesn't seem
like he's going to sit out, So he plays it out.
And and that's how how how it ends. And and
(31:10):
I don't think that they what they had the ability
to franchise.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Him after this year.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Think they franchising. I don't think they franchise them.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
I think they get one more year out of them,
and then they probably try to replace him with a
draft pick or a free agent that isn't going to
cost as much.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Because at some point you are going to have to
do a deal for Brock Party like that's that's also
gonna be something, yea.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And what does that deal look like?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
I mean, you know, because when they when you get
down to brass tax and and you're looking at what's
taking place. They're gonna sit there and they're gonna fry
Brock Purty. Oh yeah, they're gonna fry him.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
When it comes down to contract time.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
We did the same thing with with Dak Prescott. We've
were doing the same thing with Tua and none of
those guys have been to a super Bowl. Rock pretty and.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
They and just like Jimmy Garoppolo, they will say, well,
it's the system. Jimmy Garoppolo is some trash as a quarterback.
Look at where Jimmy Garoppolo is now as a player
not being insane.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And I'll say this, they could be critical of Jimmy
Garoppolo and how he finished up and played that that
super Bowl game. Brock pretty played well in the super Bowl.
It's not like he didn't perform so much so that
Steve Spagnolo came out afterwards and was like, I he
was great. Like he did some things that that we
didn't think he was going to be able to.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
I'm sure he's going to come out and say something differently.
Why not, dude stunk? Why not it was such an
easy time because that's just not how it works.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Damn, That's just not how it works. That's tongue in cheep.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's the way I operate.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I'm trying to put you up on game.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
You're deceptive, damn.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
The bulls coming, The bull is coming to get to
it's got to get to.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Damn. People are weirdos. Didn't Rex Ryan run with the
bulls years ago? I think he did.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
What noise did you make when you get popped by bull? Golly?
That's the most interesting part of it to me is
the noise that the person makes when they get hit?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Yuh, he was there. I can't Rex Ryan. I think
he ran with the bulls.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
I'm in it's only gotta be faster than the slowest person. Man,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
That doesn't necessarily work for this one. But yeah, yeah,
anybody died when somebody died running. I believe somebody has died.
I mean a law of averages would say yes.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I mean, but imagine if you did, I mean you
went out the right way.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
I mean, come on, really, at least fifteen people have
died in the killing in the running of the bulls.
But you know, good avoidable as they should.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I mean they kill most of those bulls. At the
end of it's a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
They eat them.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Well.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Speaking of Spain, it's the stage eleven of the Tour
de Fonse.
Speaker 1 (37:30):

else was pissing hot and h and running around the
hills of France just to the gills.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
Damn.

(01:22):
Lee to lap Bar executive producer over the course of
the weekend. Guy had a long weekend, did a lot
of damage, got on the liverloop early, and just continue
to go down that slide all the way through. He
left out a key was a.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Very very key part of the story. Left out.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Well, I was thinking about another part.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Oh, oh wow, leave that right there.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Lee went to the Lee went to the movies, Yes
he did. Yeah, there's a reason I left that part out.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
What happened I've heard with the movie.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I don't know, because I fell asleep during the trailers
and I did not wake up until people got up
for the credits.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
By the way, how slaughtered must you have been day
drinking that you slept through in a movie theater? How
many people were in the theater.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It was a full theater, So a full theater in fact, yeah,
in fact I got the handicap seat because it was
a full theater.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And you slept through all day noise.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Just keep sleeping because you was in the handicap chair.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
So this guy's handicap, we clearly need to leave him
wherever he is right there?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Does he need assistance that they have to wake you
up to leave?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I don't remember exactly how that part happened, but I
do remember being very refreshed after that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I know this that when Lee sleeps, he sleeps because
when we were in I think we were in Columbia
at one of the Graduate hotel. Yeah, we were at
the Graduate Hotels remote that we did out there, and
we went out and took an uber back and it
wasn't like a long uber drive, but it was a
little bit long of a walk, and I was like, yeah,
(03:03):
I'll just get an uber and he was in no
shave to walk anywhere, and he was out cold, like
closed the door, completely out cold. When the uber driver
turned the corner to pull into the front of the hotel,
he didn't have a seatbelt on and went flying across
the seat and didn't wake up, literally.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Didn't wake up, didn't wake up, like literally.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Throwing somebody down a flight of stairs and just check it.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Not even I might be hurt. When I wake up,
we'll worry about that.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Not even one of those didn't even open his eyes
to be like, oh do I have a scratch or anything,
just completely out cold like.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Le He's like one of those.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That big piece of luggage they just throw around on
baggage claim they're like, got whatever, it's not going to
go anywhere, Like we'll just throw that down the heap
and then somebody else will figure it out. Yeah, he
just when he sleeps, he sleeps movie theater and all.
So I slept Northridge earthquake and I was in Northridge.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
He just sleep through earthquakes. I've only felt like literally
one or two earthquakes since being here. Like I'll wake up,
stuff will be on the floor. People will be like,
oh my gosh, did you feel the earthquake. I'd be like,
I was sleep okay.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It happened at the ninety four earthquake. For people listening,
I was in southern California, Like just to give you perspective,
they was listed as a six point seven. And I
remember my dad at the time because we lived in
Thousand Oaks and that's like, you know, twenty twenty five
minute drive away from Northridge, and I remember my dad
(04:38):
at the time saying, there's no way that was a
six point seven seven to one. He's like, it was
had to be more than a six to seven because
places got destroyed. I mean, it was well, and the
after shocks were in the fives. Yeah, whole morning. Japan
marked it as a seven to one. But if the
insurance company sees it as over a seven and it
(05:00):
raises everything, So they marked it as a six nine
or six five. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Oh, they was about to get smashed.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, and you were in Northridge and you slept through
the entire thing. Yeah. How old are you at the time?
Six or seven? Okay, so he probably had like what
two three beers? That was pretty What do you mean, listen,
he was taking his time. Damn Well, listen you.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
How old was he? Six or seven? Three? Four beers?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Like two bottles next to his crib? Well, listen, what
a what a life? What a weekend? Well, I mean,
here's what we do know about what's going on in
the world of sports. And we kind of made the
point that, you know, there's not a lot of action,
(05:56):
especially last night, you had like five six baseball games.
There was a couple of summer league games. But one
of the storylines has been kind of carrying a lot
of people through these difficult times as we wait for
football to start in training camp and all that fun stuff.
Is what the hell's going on with the Los Angeles Lakers.
And I was unaware of this. I did not know
that the Lakers did make a big addition this offseason,
(06:20):
not just Brownnie James, but Gilbert Arenas. And if you don't.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Think so, chill Gil.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Why don't you take a listen to Gilbert Arenas, who
is on Gil's Arena podcast discussing some of the deals
and rumors about deals that the Lakers have made so far.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
We didn't offer nobody to know eighty million dollar. Stop man,
stop listening to Wojion. And we didn't offer him no
eighty million. We didn't offer that damn coach, no seventy million.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Man.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Y'all crazy, this crazy talk. See, this is why we
we the Lakers. Man, you use our name to get famous,
they use the Laker brand to boost up there their
financial status and other teams. We did not offer these
people that kind of money.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, so I was aware.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
That he's he's from here. I know he's from and
most guys that are from here do that. TJ does
that all the time on up on game. Make sure
you tune in to Levin on yeah noon to two
if you're on the East coast.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
But he says like anybody that's from here says like us,
my team or or you know, they talk like they
work there or are part of it.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
So I understood where he was coming from.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
But more importantly, the content, the context of the content.
I think it's interesting, like what would be what would
be the advantage towards and those guys doing that? If
anybody why can't why claim cap on on something like this?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
If anything, I would say, and a lot of those
guys have been carrying the water for Lebron and getting
his side of the story out before any of this stuff,
like they're the ones that we're trying to throw out there.
That Yo. By the way, Lebron, you know, wanted to
be left out of the JJ Reddick hiring. No, he
had no input or no saying that he's a fan
(08:20):
of JJ Reddick, but he wanted to leave it up
to the organization like they've been. If anything, they've been
trying to make it look way better than it actually
has gone this off season, which I would argue it's
probably been a great off season for Lebron, James and
the family. I mean, everybody got paid, everybody got drafted.
They're good. It's just the organization that's, you know, kind
(08:41):
of been a tough spot. And it actually reminds me
a little bit of Kobe Bryant's final years with the Lakers,
to where they gave him that last big deal. He
got paid, but everyone recognized, dude, they're not close to
being able to compete for a title. And Lebron can
say whatever he wants about Oh, I think we're still
in contention. I think we're still in contention. You got
(09:04):
worse this offseason while other teams got best.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
For certain, they did not get better.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
And it just it just goes back to the original
point of if you had a thought process of We
heard yesterday that it was reported that that Hurley turned
down a difference of like twenty million dollars six years.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Fifty million is what he took at Yukon.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Can you imagine what that man had to hear on
his job conversation I'll say interview, we could say interview.
I guess what did you hear in a job interview
that would make you pass up on a job that
gives you a twenty million dollar pay raise.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Think about it. I mean it had to be.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
It had to be to him some of the most
egregious ass that you could hear in order for him
to say, yeah, I'm good, I'm good here, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I'm not, I'm not in need of twenty million dollars.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Does not, does not make me feel comfortable or confident
in where I can go and what I can be
as a coach, and where I will end up being,
and where I will end up what I'll end up
doing if I take this job, even if I received
the twenty million dollars, like that to me to pass
(10:32):
up twenty million dollars difference, that's said something was really
really bad.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
It was bad because.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I mean, everybody's got a price, right, It's the old
million dollar man.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I mean, you got to believe that everybody's got a price.
I mean, hey, twenty million not you.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Hey, I'll tell you. I said it. Yeah, I said
when we were filling in for the Herd yesterday, I
would play for the worst team in the league. Gladly
for some of them, I need to be thrown around.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Hey buddy, don't party with Diddy though, So it's kind
of like me that like the price tag is maybe
that price tag is a little too deep man. Maybe
it's a too big steep. Maybe it's a little too
steep man. Maybe the thing, maybe the things that you
know you got to take part in to get that
twenty million dollars different.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Maybe it just ain't worth it.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Who partied with Diddy?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Brad video surface in there talking about ain't no party
like a Diddy party? I mean, does that that's out
there that them? I don't know. I don't use banana boat.
That's not a term I use.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Oh yeah, no, there was a there's a picture that
went around where Lebron and I think it was Chris
Paul and was it Carmelo Anthony We're all sitting on
a banana boat just kind of hanging out altogether, you know,
just uh it was listen, it's out there. I don't
know if it was photoshopped or not, but it was there.
So I was just wondering if that was like and
at a pool party or because I had no idea
(12:03):
that he hung out with Diddy.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But you know, maybe, uh.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean, I'm just saying maybe that.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Was the By the way, could you imagine if Danny
Hurley actually came out and said, listen, love the opportunity,
love Lebron as a player. Cannot say enough good things
about the organization. They treated me nicely, They were great
to my family. The money was great. But you know,
he hung out with Diddy. I don't know what to
tell you like that.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I mean, I just can't. I can't do it. I
just can't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It just but when you put in Danny Hurley, you
put in all the other options that were out there
and potentially available for them to try and acquire this offseason,
and all have chosen. Whether it was Klay Thompson wanted
to go to Dallas. You know, there was the old
well you know, the state income tax and you know
Texas compared to California. Oh okay, So what was the
(12:57):
DeMar deroz an excuse? Because he's playing as that And
if you would have told Laker fans California years Agoah,
if you would have told Laker fans years ago that
and again it was a sign and trade and all that.
But I feel like that would be something potentially that
the Lakers would want to pull off, because we've been
hearing about DeMar DeRozan potentially being a Laker for a
long time because he's from out here and I think
(13:20):
he was on stage with Kendrick Lamar and so people thought, well,
you know, does that mean he's coming back home? And
are they trying to work behind the scenes. And he
ends up in Sacramento on a three year deal and
not with Lebron and the Lakers. I just I look
at it and I go, it feels like a lot
of teams around the NBA got better. It feels like
Minnesota took a big step last year. Denver is going
(13:41):
to be back and they're going to bounce back. And
neither one of those teams were in the finals. Dallas was.
They got better, but not the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Here's a probably a question, here's a trivia question for you.
Who's the most high profile signing that the Lakers have
had this offseason?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Ronnie James Pale.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
That's deep.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I mean when you put it in that, in that
manner and that that.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Frame, I mean, if we're going to be honest.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Bronnie James.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Is the highest profile signing that the Lakers had this year.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Look, they did this at the end of Kobe's run.
They were playing for headlines, not for titles. And if
we're going to be honest about it, what is the
most talked about acquisition this entire NBA off season?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
So fIF fifth pick right has been the most talked
about draft pick period, not even close.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And look, we discussed earlier Jerry Jones and the greatness
of Jerry Jones. The Cowboys are always a talking point,
even when they're mediocre.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
That's the brilliance of it. I'm telling you, you got
to give Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
You have to, Yes, you have to.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I mean even if it means his kids, like they
going to be in the headlines now, I mean, it's
it's it's amazing marketing.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yeah, it's amazing, Like it's it's it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I mean it really is.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
It's just it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, And I might even I'm not even saying that
to be a wise ass. It legitimately is the biggest
storyline this NBA off season, and it's Lebron James who's
kind of behind the scenes orchestrating everything.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
I mean, think about right now, where we're at in
this ditch spot of time and space and sports outside
of baseball, Think about what what are you what's on
your mind about sports right now? When is Bronnie going
to play right? And what is that going What are
(15:49):
the results going to be? What is that going to
look like? Like, that's that's what's going on right now.
If you look at social media, the discussions of this
man just did at an entire diatribe on how his
son doesn't care about what people say or think of him.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Like.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
What amazing athlete, goat athlete, pro player has to say
that has to do interviews about their son saying that.
Think about the amount of mess of stuff they're hearing
for him to to address the media that way to him,
(16:36):
to address that that type of question that way, Think
about what they're saying about him and his son, Like
that's that is to me. You you got to be
a different type of special to be able to shoulder
what it is that they're shouldering right now. And if
I'm Lebron, if I'm Lebron James, I can say I'm
(16:58):
the goat. When you're the goat, you can tell people
to kiss your ass, But what about your son? What
does Bronnie say, The only recourse that he has, the
only defense mechanism that he possibly could execute that makes
(17:18):
any type of sense at this.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Point is not caring.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Lebron offered up the only antidote that makes sense to
a young man that has nothing else to stand on.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
You can't stand.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
On the fact that your dad is the greatest basketball
one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Can't do it.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
You can't stand on the fact that, despite what y'all say,
I had a dope ass high school career, I had
a dope ass college career, and now I got drafted
to the Lakers and I'm about to have a dope
ass NBA career.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Can't do it, can't win with him, can't do it.
So what are you going to lean on? Oh, he
doesn't care, he doesn't care what you say.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Why he care?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Man?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I bet you lebron be going in the corner of
his room and his plush, spacious, amazing looking house or
wherever it is that he is in the world, because
they probably living life, doing well, you know what I mean,
and he probably cries in the corner like what have
I done?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I'll bet I'll bet Bronny had a sweet room growing up.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Though.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You remember you remember the movie The Toy with Richard Pryor Man,
that little rich kid who had.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
They stopped stock They stocked a little water with with piranhas.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Like he by the ways in this water under the
radar until you watch it again and you go, oh no,
this is full blown racist.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Oh it's one of the most racist prejudice, bigoted like storylines, plots,
and one of the funniest movies you'll ever watch.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I wanted a wonder Wheel so bad after I saw
him rolling around. I'm the wonder Wheel of the ball
I want It was so bad. But that kid had
every toy you could possibly imagine to have a person
a person. It just happened to be a have a
person a black guy, right. I want him.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I want him.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
He's not for sale. I want him.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
I want him, and he got him.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Oh man, well look hopefully Broddy had a bit.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I want to get drafted, daddy. I want to play
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No having a wonder Wheel, no no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
No no. I want to play in the NBA, daddy.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Damn By the way, they I want that man, but.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I don't care I want him. Uh they still make
wonder wheels. If they do, we got to get our
hands on those. It is Two Pros and a Cup
of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio, Lebar Arrington, Jonas
Knox with you Coming up next here though from the
Tirack dot Com Studios, we are going to discuss a
player in the NFL who's taken a unique approach to
try to get what he wants. Find out what it
(20:06):
is here on FSR.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
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 app.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Polly Foods Go here with Tony Foodsco. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Tony Foodsco Show.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
But instead of us telling you how great we are,
here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
our show.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
You don't interrupting our promo.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Oh yeah, Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Shut up.
Speaker 8 (20:51):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Toni Fousco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yee.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here
on the sports radio Lbar Harrington Jonas Knox of the
Year coming up in about a little over fifteen minutes
from now, we are going to have another edition of
You In or You Out. That'll be yours here on
FSR from the tire rack dot Com studio. So I
got to give it up to Brandon Nyuk. He's got
(21:24):
some interesting ways to try and get traded or get
a contract or whatever he wants to try and pull
off when it comes to getting what he wants because
I want him. I want him, I don't care, I
want him.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Stand yeah. So Brandon All.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
He took to his own TikTok page did Brandon Ayuk,
and he posted footage of himself watching Washington Commander's practice. Now,
he's been very vocal about the fact that his good
buddy Jaden Daniels, who he played with in college, he
is now the quarterback with the Washington Commanders. He has said, Hey,
(22:05):
if I don't, if I'm not with the Niners, I
want to be with the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
If not there, you know, he mentioned the Commanders, he
mentioned the Steelers. But here we are, and it feels
like right when they come to terms, we had a
great talk, everything's all good. Then he does stuff like
this to try and get the ball rolling on potentially
(22:26):
a new deal as training camp approaches, and it feels
like we've talked about this a little bit before that
either he's going to play on the fifth year option,
which is about fourteen million dollars or whatever it is
that he's going to get this upcoming season in and
around that range, or he's going to get traded. But
if he pulls this, doesn't it make it a little
(22:48):
bit more difficult for the forty nine ers to have
to swallow the fact that they're trading away a player
they'd like to keep but is unhappy. When every team
in the NFL now knows, oh, he's making this difficult
on they're going to have to take a worse offer
from us to try and get this deal done. Why
not just keep your mouth shut, don't say anything. Let
(23:08):
them work behind the scenes to orchestrate a deal, and
stop making it so difficult when it comes to the negotiations.
Because now every team in the NFL, like Washington for example,
knows the forty nine ers got to move on from me.
He doesn't want to be there anymore. So what let's
just lowball the offer and that way we'll try and
get this deal done. Like I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Whether whether that offer, whether the negotiating was in public
or not, it doesn't matter because Jaydon Daniels is Brandon
Nyuk's former teammate, and they have a relationship, and so
understanding that there is a personal relationship connected to the
(23:51):
Washington Commanders and Brandon Nyuk, whether it played out in
the public or not, the commanders are fully away of
what Brandon I you has going on with the forty
nine ers, and I would venture to say that probably
exists with other teams that he's mentioned that he's interested in.
(24:14):
So the fact that it's playing out publicly, it really
doesn't matter. All it is is entertainment for everybody that's
out there. This is this is how if you hadn't noticed,
this is really how business is done. This is how
negotiating is done in a lot of ways now is
through social media.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
It's so weird.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Man, it's basketball, it's baseball, it's football, it's soccer, it's.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Tennis, it's it's you name it.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Negotiations, power plays, you name it are done through social media.
And it's almost like if you garner whichever side, if
the person, the athlete puts it out there, and they
garner enough public attention to it and enough outrage, enough
(25:05):
support connected to what they're doing, it puts As you mentioned,
it's a tremendous amount of pressure that's put on on
these these these organizations, and whether they budge or not,
you still know that they did that. There could be
implications beyond if something doesn't go the way it's supposed
(25:28):
to go for that team.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
In particular, what happened of the good old days when
people just kept their mouths shut and didn't run to
social media to air their grievance.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Because there wasn't any social media to run to. Come on,
you know, the good old days where you actually went
to the bar and had a drink with the person
that was writing about you. The good old days where
both of those dudes, the athlete and the reporter got
drunk his hell at the bar, and and the local
police officer said, hey, y'all, would drive y'all home and
(25:58):
knows their wives by their first name.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Were you a part of those meetings?
Speaker 5 (26:03):
I'm not that old. I'm not that old, but I
have heard stories. I did grow up knowing a few
influential Steelers when when I was growing up. I've heard
some pretty cool stories. And I know some really really
cool media people too as well. You know, it's very
historically driven in Pittsburgh, so I have heard some really
(26:26):
really cool stories. But I'm too young for that. That
era of it.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Just it just feels like such an odd, odd thing, like.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
And I understand it's disingenuous anymore, right, I just I
understand where Brandon Ayuk's coming from, because, look, I want
to deal done.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would like to stay in San Francisco if possible.
But then it's like he runs to social media and
he posts, you know, there's a video him watching another
team's practice, and then it's you know, him telling I
might have been Jade Daniel. Well, you know, I want
to stay in San Francisco, but they don't want me
like it just it comes off kind of immature, Like
(27:06):
there's just something about it that I look at and go, well,
why not just have like like do some of this
stuff behind the scenes, like work with him. Like the
Niners are not shy about trading, Like in fact, they'll
give away three first round picks for a quarterback that
they cut a year and a half later, like they're
they're okay, or trade away a year and a half later,
they're okay with that. San Francisco is not afraid of
(27:27):
doing deals. And the general manager in Washington now is
Adam Peters, who was with the Niners. So it's like
there's a there's a connection there. I just I look
at it and I go, why make it more difficult
if you really want to get a deal done or
get traded somewhere? We're going to get a deal done.
Like when Dallas signed Amari Cooper to the contract extension.
(27:52):
That contract extension was done the second they gave up
a first round pick for Amari Cooper, because then you're
already pot committed. They're not going to trade away for
a guy, give up a first round pick and then
not re sign him as soon as they have an opportunity,
so it was already a done deal. But if you
are making it difficult on the niners to get anything
of value in return for your services, then whoever acquires you,
(28:17):
if they're only trading away a fourth round pick, maybe
they're not as incentivized to want to give you a
deal as opposed to if you just stay quiet, let
them work behind the scenes. Maybe somebody gives up a second,
maybe a third for you, and then they look at
you as we've got to get our return on investment.
Let's give him the deal he wants. But instead he
just keeps running to social media and posting this crap up.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
But you're also stating it as if that's how it's
going to play out, if he were to be quiet,
and I you know, we'll never know because he has
taken it to social media.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
But with that being.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Said, that's not necessarily how it's going to play out.
And listen, whether you subscribe to being noisy about what
you have going on or being quiet about it. I mean,
old school says be quiet about it. New school seems
(29:13):
to be more about liberating, you know, liberation of how
you feel, liberation of how you treated, liberation of how
things are supposed to happen and how they're supposed to
go down, you know, battle against the machine type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I just you know, it depends on what side you
fall on it.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But I mean, when you really think about it, Brandon
Ayuk is is taking the approach of you know and
the sat questions. You know, they ask you, if a
tree falls in the forest and no one's there to
see it fall, doesn't make a noise, And the answer
is whatever you want it to be. Sensibly speaking, you
(29:55):
know that a tree as big as it is, if
it falls, it's going to make a noise. But yet
and still, if no one is there to see it fall,
you're not going to hear the noise that it makes.
So it just depends on what side you fall on.
Some people subscribe to the fact that I need to
(30:15):
make sure that people know that this tree falling is
making a noise, while others will subscribe to the fact
that it never made a noise at all because nobody's there.
So if nobody's ever heard what Brandon Nyuk has to
say about what he has going on, contractually nobody hears
what's going on. Nobody cares out of sight, out of mind,
(30:37):
and they could go either way. They could decide to
do the deal, or they could decide not to do
the deal.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
But nobody knows regardless one way or the other. If
it's silent.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
How do you think this plays out. I don't think
he's getting from that.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
I don't think he gets I think he has to.
I think he has to agree to a deal that
he didn't want. If he gets a deal done with
the Niners and he plays it out, it doesn't seem
like he's going to sit out, So he plays it out.
And and that's how how how it ends. And and
(31:10):
I don't think that they what they had the ability
to franchise.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Him after this year.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Think they franchising. I don't think they franchise them.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
I think they get one more year out of them,
and then they probably try to replace him with a
draft pick or a free agent that isn't going to
cost as much.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Because at some point you are going to have to
do a deal for Brock Party like that's that's also
gonna be something, yea.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And what does that deal look like?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
I mean, you know, because when they when you get
down to brass tax and and you're looking at what's
taking place. They're gonna sit there and they're gonna fry
Brock Purty. Oh yeah, they're gonna fry him.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
When it comes down to contract time.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
We did the same thing with with Dak Prescott. We've
were doing the same thing with Tua and none of
those guys have been to a super Bowl. Rock pretty and.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
They and just like Jimmy Garoppolo, they will say, well,
it's the system. Jimmy Garoppolo is some trash as a quarterback.
Look at where Jimmy Garoppolo is now as a player
not being insane.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And I'll say this, they could be critical of Jimmy
Garoppolo and how he finished up and played that that
super Bowl game. Brock pretty played well in the super Bowl.
It's not like he didn't perform so much so that
Steve Spagnolo came out afterwards and was like, I he
was great. Like he did some things that that we
didn't think he was going to be able to.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
I'm sure he's going to come out and say something differently.
Why not, dude stunk? Why not it was such an
easy time because that's just not how it works.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Damn, That's just not how it works. That's tongue in cheep.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
That's the way I operate.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I'm trying to put you up on game.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
You're deceptive, damn.
Speaker 1 (32:50):

died in the killing in the running of the bulls.
