Speaker 2 (01:07):
Labar.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm not sure if you were able to watch any
of Copa what was it Copa America last night the finals? No,
were you able to see any of the brawl that
that took place.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
They're calling the Malice at the Palace too.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh no, no, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It got a little bit out of hand as Columbia won.
But Lee, did you see this last night? I mean
it was it was kind of odd, like there was
a fight that almost broke out on the field after
the game, and then as things ensued, as the players
started to kind of walk towards the sidelines the head
towards the locker room, then they started like.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Jumping up into the stands.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It was very reminiscent of going back to the Malice
in the Palace with the Detroit Pistons back in the day,
players in the stands from Uruguay like going and absolutely
getting after it.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Pretty crazy deal.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, I thought I thought was going to actually pull
this one off, but uh, you know, Columbia brings it always.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
And you can tell, and you can you could tell
that they brought it in the stands as well.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So yeah, le Ethrik, you're you're mentioning a few different
things there, but we'll try to keep it on the field.
I'm not here to talk about the actual match itself.
I care less about that. The US men's national team
obviously was not a part of it, which unfortunately that's
been more of the same. If you've if you've watched
the men's national team in soccer for quite some time,
(02:35):
Greg Burke Brooke Holter is out as the head coach
of the team, which is it's tough only because this
and I know this is not a topic that we
typically talk about, but it is more topical in the
sense of, like you're talking about the United States men's
national team in soccer, and we can't somehow figure out
(02:55):
how to be dominant like we are all these other
sports that you see when the Olympics come or World
champions Chips come, or even in the professional sports leagues,
where's by far and away mostly US players who are
dominating and leading the way. Maybe the MVP for the
MBBA NBA has been the exception in recent years. But
(03:16):
it's crazy to me that we now have a US
men's national team that can't even get out of the
group stage, Like you can't even get to the knockout round.
And I've heard every excuse possible for this. I mean
I've heard like, you're gonna blame it on the coach sometimes, which, look,
you can put on Greg burke Holter if you want,
and maybe he is to share some of the blame.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's not just on him.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I mean people will say we don't have the talent,
which almost all these guys are now playing overseas and
then they're playing in European leagues where supposed to this
soccer is better. So you can't blame on the MS.
You can't blame on the fact that we have talent.
We have talent. We've invested into the development of a
lot of these young players, and so there's not an
investment issue. It's not a talent issue. I don't even
(03:59):
know if it's a coaching you. I just it's hard
to put your finger on what it is. Clearly the
women's side tends to excel and we can't figure out
in men's soccer. Yeah, we could figure out it almost
every other sport. Like I was out in Vegas and
in USA, basketball is out there obviously with what will
be the Olympic team, and look will be the favorite,
(04:19):
we should be the heavy favorite. And the only pushback
that I got when I kind of asked some of
the coaches who are out there around the team and
the players, they said, well, it's different than the NBA,
where it's a seven game series. We're more often not
the better team wins in a seven game series. When
it's just a one game scenario, sudden death a lot
more difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And that's true.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But we still are the greatest, you know basketball team
that's you know, ever you know, played or competed in
the Olympics when we put our best guys out there.
And I just don't get it, man, I feel like,
not that it's a sport that dominates because football are football.
American football is a sport that dominates. But like last night,
watching that fight and Seal and all that, I kind
(05:02):
of sat out there and just go, wait, why is
the US not able.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
To be more competitive in this?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
I think it's a great question, and to be honest,
I'm really not sure as to what the answer would be,
other than to say that soccer is probably it's probably
the most universal sport in the world, and where you have,
(05:31):
I guess in football, of course that's not it's not universal.
It's more you know, American centric basketball.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
I'm not quite sure why Americans are so dominant over
the world in terms of it being a more it's
universally played around the world the sport, the sport is played,
but America does seem to have the better the better players. Now,
(06:02):
I will say this a lot of times, there are
players that aren't necessarily all the way I mean, they're
they're American, but they might not be all the way
American that are on the US I mean they're they're
in of course, but they still have you can tell
(06:23):
the origins are stronger to probably where they're originally from,
or they're they feel like it doesn't mean as much
to them.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Is it like when Lee drinks not a non domestic bearer.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
It's funny, is it that you made a joke about?
But I think that could be. Could that be the
point that soccer means more? Soccer means more as in
terms of winning it, what it what it represents to
the culture, to the communities.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I put it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I didn't see anyone throwing fisticuffs after the US lost,
going up in the stands and getting after it.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So maybe there's an element of that that that's probably true.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I think it means more to win in soccer. I
think it's more worldly accepted. I mean, if you think
about it, in the Olympics, like track and field is
very very competitive as well. You know, obviously in speed,
certain certain countries America, Jamaica, they dominate in speed. In distance,
(07:30):
you know, it's like places like Africa where where.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
There's dominance in distance.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
I mean, I think everybody, I think everybody around the
world kind of has their superpowers.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
But soccer is.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
That one sport where I don't know, it just has
always meant more to the world, seemingly to be able
to win it as it applies to everyone, not just
in their own area, which that is important, but just
the representation of what it means within the leagues that
(08:07):
are across the world.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It just means more.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
And why does that translate into, you know, Americans not
being athletic enough to be more competitive that one. I'm
not sure. Is it possible that the I think that
Americans care.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
As much And there's probably an element of that, Like
I don't look out there and go, oh, we don't have.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
The athletes that the other team has, Like I never
feel that way, but that could be the case. That
could be the case. That could be the case. It's disappointing.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I feel like, not to be too harsh, but it
feels like it's getting borderline pathetic. Like I'm a little
bit embarrassed about it when we try to like it's
like the one sport like you go internationally just we
cannot compete.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It doesn't make any sense. But transitioning to a sport
where we do compete, we do tend to dominate.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It is, you know, the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It is USA men's basketball and women's basketball for that perspective.
But a decision came out yesterday Kawhi Leonard will not
be taking part as part of the Olympic team.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
As Kawhi the.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Clippers, they feel like at its best interest to skip
the Olympics, which probably the truth to some degree, I
guess for all the players, however, guys like Lebron who
played for a long time, other guys who were you know,
Steph Curry's getting up there in age, he's they're all
still playing it. Which meanwhile, did you know Steph has
not won a gold medal like a lot of these
(09:39):
guys who are on this team have played in previous Olympics,
they've actually won gold medals.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But that being said, Derek White is tad as the
guy to replace Kawhi Leonard on the team, which he's
the only guy doesn't have an NBA All Star iners belt.
And I think this is probably coming off the momentum
that he built through the NBA Finals through most likely
you know, just his defensive performance, the kind of the
role player that he was with Boston this past year
(10:08):
could really fit into being a need for what they
have or excuse what they need to have going.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Into the Olympics.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
So did you find it strange Jalen Brown isn't on
the team right right?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Which is did you find that strange?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Do you think they may have asked some many didn't
want to do it, or I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I mean, that's the hard thing to try to figure out.
When you start comparing positions. You don't look at the
roster and go, yeah, that guy probably.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
This was really the first one that I was like,
all right, like kind of interesting, like you put Derek
White as a part of this and not have a
guy like Jalen Brown. However, you do have a bunch
of guys who can handle the ball, who can score,
who can do a bunch of different things offensively. You know,
how many guys do you have that are maybe one
of the best defenders in the NBA And you look
(10:57):
at it and say, can play a really good role
and by the way, as a great outside shoe, like
his game fits what the team kind of would need
in this sense, And I don't think it's gonna take
away from anyone else's game, Like I think he's a
really good fit for what this team would need without
a guy like Kawhi, because they still have plenty, plenty
of ability to score and everything else.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So I'd have an issue with it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It was just it was interesting to hear his name
like there wasn't like it was already tapped, like it
was already ready to go, Like Derek White was the
guy without.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Much deliberation or conversations we had.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Yeah, they probably, I would say they probably already had
it figured out as to who their reserves were. But
I just thought it was interesting. You have two Celtics
on the team, and Drew Holliday and Jason Tatum, and
then one goes down and if you're adding a third,
(11:51):
you went to Derek White. Like no shade towards Derek White.
I'm just saying, did Jalen did Jalen Brown maybe not
wanted do it once he wasn't on the original roster.
Did he not want to do it with the original roster?
I'm just curious as to that, because I think that
Jalen Brown would have been a more valuable addition to
(12:13):
the team out of out of anyone in fact, should
have been on the team to begin with originally in
my estimation. So but listen, Derek White is as you mentioned,
He's very strong on the defensive side of the ball
and if need be, if called to be, can score
on the offensive side of the ball. So he's multi
(12:35):
dimensional as a player. I think he definitely in this
championship year that they've had, in this run that they had,
he established himself as more than just kind of a
utility player. I mean, he's you can probably put maybe
a growing star in the league, establishing the fact that
he can be in that conversation, and it's a great
(12:57):
opportunity for him. I think it's a pretty I think
it's a pretty talented team. I think they have senior leadership.
I mentioned some of the names and Drew Holliday. I mean,
obviously Lebron's getting up there in age, but you got
guys like Lebron, you got guys like Kevin Durant, you
got guys like Steven Stephen Curry and Steph Curry and
(13:20):
Anthony Davis, who are to me, you know, you have
a maturity level that would be up there with what
we know of the original Dream teams that have gone
and played in the Olympics. So it'll be interesting to
see will they look more like a team that's on
a mission to make sure they uphold that reputation queue
or is it Is it going to look more all starish?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You know, will will it?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Will it have more of a playful type of deal
to it. I'm curious to see how it plays out.
But I think that they're poised to go out there
and dominate because there has been the conversation that Listen,
you got two years straight where a foreign basketball player
has gone one in the draft, and in this year's
(14:05):
draft you had two three, I believe three in the
top ten. But yeah, so it's I think it'll be
interesting to see if they try to really really show
that dominance.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
In and this year's Olympics. I think they'll be able to.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I mean again, I know there's there's competition else out there,
and only takes one bad shooting night, one hot shooting night.
You know, from the coaches I talked to, I had
a dinner I attended when we were out there, they said,
the chemistry at this point of the process.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Is really building. And so even though you again you've got.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
A piece like Kawhi that's he was out there a
little bit, I don't think it's gona hurt anything. I
think again, Derek White is the perfect kind of role player.
No idea how many minutes will end up playing. But
if he stays hot the way he was shooting in
the NBA Finals in the playoffs, if he if he
can continue to play the role of, you know, locking
down the best player from the other team, it might
be hard to keep them off the floor at times.
(15:02):
But that being said, we should we should expect for
at least our men's basketball team to.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dominate again, I would assume. So.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
No idea about men's soccer where that goes from here,
But that'll be the last time we talk about soccer
on the show. The rest of the next two days,
So thank you out for that, or two years or
maybe forever to the relevant again. Coming up next on
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, coming to you
live from the tierraq dot com Studios.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
There's a debut.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
That's coming out last night.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Did you watch it? Did you see it? We'll have
some comments on another side of the break.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
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 8 (15:51):
Polly Foods Go Here with Tony Foods Go Yeah. As
everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning Polly
and Tony Foods goes hung Yeah. But instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our shop.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Oh yeah, well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Shut up.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Yeah, anyway, just listening to the Pauly and Toni Busco
Show on iHeartRadio. Apple podcasts, O wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yea feelick. We're working out some things behind the scenes
a little bit today. Oh yeah, little moving parts.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Speaking of parts, Uh, we get a group in the
NFL that takes part in a play and it's probably
one of the more you know, influential pieces of what's
what would be a completion in the passing game. And
finally they're getting their shine, they're getting their opportunity to
(16:58):
step in the spotlight as it was sort of starting
to be, you know, out there receiver. The Netflix series
which falls around pass Catchers with which within the NFL.
Uh obviously highlighted by Peyton Manning being a part of
this talking about this, But a lot of buzz now
coming out about this Netflix series that's coming out following
some of the best receivers in the game, guys like
(17:22):
Justin Jefferson, guys like Alvin Ross, Saint Brown. Now George
Kittle's a part of it as the tight ends they
kind of looped in the.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Pass Catchers, which I haven't seen yet.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
If there's so many running backs that play a part
in it, given the mismatch they can create. But either way,
is this something that even appeals to you, LeVar as
a defensive player, are you still waiting on like.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The edge rushers to get there on show?
Speaker 7 (17:42):
I mean, I think the edge rushers and and some
defensive players would be more entertaining, But no, I'm not.
I Like, if it's good programming, I'm I'm in for it.
Like I like those names. I'd like to get to
know them, you know, through through the journeys that they
create through content. I love content, so you know, that's
(18:05):
that's my life. I live in content. So yeah, I
don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Is part of this ultimately though, because they couldn't get
quarterbacks to do a season two. I mean, the reality
is they couldn't get some of the bigger name, bigger
stars to do a series of quarterback After going through
and looking at the various journeys of guys like Kirk Cousins,
Marcus Mariota and seeing kind of guys at different points
in time in.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Their career where they did the quarterback series.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Like, do you feel like this is more of a
fail and a pivot or is this just the evolution
of maybe what this show was always going to be.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
You know, I would say, I would say that that's
that first one. I thought Peyton and his crew did
an amazing job of representing the players that participated.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
So I don't I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Why another group of quarterbacks wouldn't want to do it.
Now I'll say this would It could have become hard
to sustain because there's only so many quarterbacks in the league,
and really only so many that are interesting to want
(19:20):
to spend the resources to follow them around and do
you know something with them. Maybe that might be what
it is you're you're looking at it from a scalability situation,
But I didn't feel like there was anything that jumped
out at me when I saw the first season with
the quarterbacks that would say, outside of maybe with Mariota
(19:42):
and what played out with him, but that didn't have
anything to do with with the cameras or anything like that.
That had everything to do with, you know, how he
handled the situation in Atlanta, So that would have been
the only thing. I mean, for Kirk Cousins, it probably
it probably helped him get the contract that I know
(20:02):
might sound crazy, it probably helped him get the contract
that he ended up getting from Atlanta because it made
him more of a household name. Kirk Cousins was kind
of an obscure player that we knew made money off
of the contracts that he made, but wasn't quite a
totally elite quarterback in the league in terms of how
(20:27):
people viewed him publicly. I feel like this show really
gave context and color to who Kirk Cousins was and
actually made him more of a consumable and likable figure
as a player and as a person.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So to me, I've always.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Looked at content as if, especially a major major outlet
Q comes to you and wants to do coverage on you,
have a strategy, have a plan. Content is really only
a way of entering and giving the listeners and the
viewers an opportunity to want to subscribe to something. You know,
(21:09):
it's probably already a captive audience most likely that you're
dealing with, and you create opportunities to grow that audience
and have retention of the audience. So to me, have
a plan. If they're coming to you and they want
you to do it, have a plan and have a
strategy as to how you want to represent yourself. And
what it is that you want to grow, and I
(21:30):
thought that Kirk Cousins did an amazing job of that
on the show. Now, why other quarterbacks may not have
wanted to go forward doing it and being a part
of it. Maybe they just don't they're reclusive. Maybe they
just didn't want to make the time to do it.
Their rest time, their study time, their family time was
more important. There could be a few things as the
(21:51):
reason why quarterbacks didn't want to do it. Maybe it
could have had a negative impact on maybe what you know,
their popularity is within the market that they're playing in,
or even with their teammates. I don't really know, but
I think opening it up and it not just being
(22:11):
purely driven by the quarterback, even though the game is
purely driven by the quarterback on the field, I think
they give themselves a chance to possibly have a sustainable
product and what they're doing with the show.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's interesting you bring up the point that you think
that he signs the deal in Atlanta based off the show,
which I don't know how I feel about that, Like,
I don't know that I played much of a role.
I kind of wonder what role it played in creating
leverage for him being more likable in Minnesota through all
(22:48):
of that, Like, I think that was probably the one
thing that I built up was he became this very
likable figure with the team and everything else, and even
off the field as a family guy. And so if anything,
I feel like, maybe build up the minute it stronger
leverage for him to maybe stay in Minnesota. However, they
had already you know, kind of declared their plans, so
(23:10):
he moves on to Atlanta, even though you know, obviously
Atlanta had plans on taking a quarterback too, which didn't.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Really you end up mattering when it was all said
and done. I find a few things interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
One of the things that stood out to me was
Peyton Manning talked about the one wide.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Receiver he wishes he could throw to.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
In all of NFL history, and the name was Raymond Barry,
which used to know was Johnny Unitis's number one target
going way back in the day of the Baltimore Colts,
who probably wasn't the fastest guy, but was a great
route runner, had tremendous hands. People are gonna be like,
how the heck are you even able to say this.
(23:47):
I'm like, well, one, it's not that I'm all, I'm
a student of the game. It's not that I won
the Johnny Unitis Award. So in winning it, I kind
of read up on Johnny Unitis. I tried to watch
whatever highlights I could find of him, and that was
his main target it and that was It's interesting that
that's who Peyton Manning. Of all the guys he could
have thrown to the Randy Mosses of the world, for example,
(24:07):
whoever else or even some of the guys he he
did throw too during his time, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne
uh Dallas Clark. Yeah, obviously all the guys in Denver
as well. It's just there's something else that jumps out
at you though too.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You do know that. I don't know. I'm not going
to go down that road, but it does jump out
at you. You know. Oh, you're saying because he's white. Seriously, Yeah,
gotta gotta weird.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
But saying that it's a weird coincidence, I mean, outside
of Brandon Stokely, he's maybe, like I have thrown a
lot of white guys, you know, maybe.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I don't get that. Yeah, I don't, you know, I
don't know, But what was the reasoning? What reason then
did he give.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I don't know if there was a much justification outside of,
you know, again respecting his game back in the day
and the way he the chemistry that he had with
Johnny Unitis. But that was just one little tidbit that
I took from it.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
But I really want to point out the fact that
wonder weird guy was he wasn't even a around for that,
Like what was he? I mean, arch is now, I
will say this arch arch raised them in the game.
So maybe he had the maybe he had the projector
film up and what show and was doing all.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, maybe he was showing them old films and stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Like that of guys that played the game the right
way that I could easily see that being you know
what it is that he made them study the game
from from a different angle, a different perspective than just
a casual fan watching it on television.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Because Barry's way too old.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
I mean, he's ninety one, right, So I mean that,
you know, playing with Johnny United is he wasn't you know,
we Peyton's my age. We weren't around for that. You know,
Like I talk about the Steell curtain all the time.
I would have loved to play it in the lineback
and core with the steel curtain, you know, But that's
me basing it off of and I you know.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Elsie Greenwood, Dwhite White, you know obviously me and Joe
green in that and Holmes.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I never saw them live Q But I certainly if
you'd ask me what team I would want to play
for if I had the opportunity, imagine having the opportunity
to go into a game with Jack Ham and Jack
Lambert and Meil Blunt, I would have loved it.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
But I don't really know what that means.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
I saw film on it, you know, I've watched it
in terms of the annals of it and things that
they've showed throughout NFL films and stuff like that, But
that was my only experience with it.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Is that partially because you're from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Because I feel like some people, like I said eighty
five Bears, like that's another team that if you're gonna.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Play one defense, and I did see them, Some might
say the two thousand Ravens. I don't know, but for me,
for me, it's one hundred percent because I'm from Pittsburgh,
one hundred percent. And the idea of it is that
it built like the Still Curtain, what it just was
an extension of what the industry was in Pittsburgh. Obviously,
(27:01):
I end up in Pittsburgh because my grandfathers moved their
families from Virginia and Alabama to Pittsburgh for them to
go work in steel mills. Right, So my my my
grandfathers were still still mill workers. So they were military
and still mill mark workers. Like that's as like as
(27:22):
it American as it gets in terms of hard hat
blue collar represents your country, represent your family. And so
I was raised on on that those core values and
the Still Curtain was our that was our physical you
know that that was our example of what being hardcore,
(27:43):
hard knows tough.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You know, what it represented.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
It became the culture, It became what our our city
represented to you know, what we wanted to represent to
anyone and everyone who wanted to know anything about Pittsburgh.
So I think it was more so that mentality as
to why I was into it the way that I was.
But I'm sure there's some type of connection there with
(28:07):
Arch and Barry, you know that, or to Johnny United's
and Arch that made him feel the way that he
felt about you know, wanting to play with Barry at
some point in time. You know, if he had the
opportunity to. There's always that cool connection or story. There's
a background story that makes it more relevant.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, you're probably right. I mean, now that you kind
of make the case for it makes a lot of sense.
My big question here, will you watch Will you watch.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
This show when it comes out?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, I watch it. Yeah, I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So no part of you, as a defensive player is
a little jealous slash looks at it and says, I'm
not gonna really, you know, want to watch these guys
who are complaining about going across the middle, like back
in a day when I mean, and again, maybe they
talk about this, Maybe they talk about the different changes
in the game and how it's protected a lot of
these guys to allow them to have the production that
(28:59):
they're having. I mean, if you want to look at
the offensive explosion we've seen in the NFL, or one
of the reasons why you know, wide receivers are some
of the highest paid nine quarterbacks and why they've become
such a critical part of any team. It's now to me,
at least shape with the fact that they're allowing the
rules allow for them to be able to venture in
parts of the field, where as you would say in
(29:21):
the Serengeti, you weren't going like that was just an area,
Like you weren't going to roam across the middle of
the field when you had certain type of safeties, linebackers,
players that were going to knock your head off that
the ball came your way. And that's one of the
things that I'm curious to see if they're going to
talk about in this is how the game has changed
to make the game in ways i'd say somewhat easier.
(29:41):
I mean, even the emphasis on defensive pass interference, defensive holding,
allowing offensive players to create more separation. Because of the
emphasis on that, I'm curious to see if they cover
this sort of thing or if it's just going to
be more of a highlight of the different receivers, the
different catches, the drills, and behind.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
The scenes of what their life looks like. You know.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I feel like Peyton and his team does such an
excellent job of having the pulse of what works like
even for him for his personal brand and how he
does things and how he handles things.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's very it's appealing.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
So I think it'll be done in a way where
it's appealing to the people who are watching. Like I said,
you gotta go for your your audience. Whatever your demo is, age,
you know, race, you know how much they make, whatever
it is. You gotta find your demo and you gotta
live in that demo. So he's not going to make
(30:39):
everybody happy with how he does the show, with how
his company does the show, but for the people that
he has the information on and the understanding of what
they're looking for, he's.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Gonna nail it.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
And I'm going to watch it, like I'm if it
gives light to what you just mentioned to you know,
if it's if it's about you know, the balance of
family and and playing the game, if it's the idea
of what it looks like of how well the team
may or may not be doing unexpected twist and turns
that the storylines are always there in football during football season.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
So I'll watch.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
I mean to me, I think there's some good names,
you know on the on the list of people.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Kittle Is is a super.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Entertaining dude, almost like a you know, like one of
those w we you know, wrestling type type guys there,
there are personalities.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
You know, Brown is on the show, I.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
Believe, right, Yeah, I'm right, right, yeah, I mean he
you mentioned it in the notes, like, dude is a
he's he's he's a very intriguing dude just because of
his upbringing and his dad being a body builder in
the way that he you know, trained him and uh,
you know.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
His his sons.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
It's to me, it's one of those it's one of
those things where I think the guys are I think
they're interesting in the sense that you can always find
the storyline if they made it to the league, if
you're not lazy about your approach, you can always find
what's going to be appealing. And what's interesting about building
(32:24):
the brand of a player because more times, more most
often than not, Q, if you really think about it,
how many players that are playing the game really in
any league are are brand established. There's not very many
guys that have established brands to the masses of people
(32:46):
that watch, you know, So I don't for me, I
think they do a great job of establishing brands, like
I mentioned with Kirk Cousins, and so I'm interested to
see how these guys come across and and and what
the content that they're gonna collect on them as it
applies to the game, you know, and all the elements
(33:08):
that you're talking about, are they tough?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
What kind of person are you? You know?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Are you are you like an archaeologist or like like lightweight?
Like what maus?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know? Miles? Uh, what's Miles Garrett is?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Like Miles Garrett loves like fossils and rocks and and
and dinosaur bones. And that's like that, Like would you
have imagined like that's what you do on your spare time,
Like you got Jurassic Park signs across your house and
stuff like that. Like I didn't know that, you know,
I just thought one thing. It turned out to be
another thing. So I'm just interested to see how they
(33:42):
develop the storylines of these guys and how it develops
their brands, because some people are our natural heroes, others
are natural villains.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, And it's interesting if you look at who's a
part of it, it's DeVonta Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Deebo,
Samuel is one of the names we we I left out,
Saint Brown. You know, two of the three or excuse me,
two of the five have already re upped deals.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Deebo's looking for a.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
New deal as well, potentially, and so that's I mean,
there are all different points in their career, and they're
all different types of receivers. Right DeVonta Adams is number one,
but more towards probably the end of his career. Justin Jefferson,
we're still in the prime portion of his career. Deebo
is used in a variety of ways. You know, Amora
is a guy who didn't come into the league as
a first round pick but obviously has become and emerged
(34:29):
as one of the best.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
And highest paid at the position.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
And then George Kittle, who's you know, representing the tight ends,
which you know, you wonder did they ask Travis Kelsey today,
what are the tight ends?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Did they ask to be a part of this?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
It would have been interesting to bring in some of
those personalities, given what we've seen from some of those guys, But.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Nonetheless it should be entertaining.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I think one of the low key takeaways that I've
got from it is the fact that it's NFL Films,
Omaha Productions. It's the same people have produced Quarterback and
it it kind of highlights in a subtle way. Because
we talked about Peyton and at the start of this
how well he's transitioned out of the game of football.
I mean now where you've got streaming platforms like Netflix
(35:11):
who are buying these series and buying these various things,
where it's Peyton places and then Eli's places, all the
different platforms that he's kind of created within his production company,
and it's probably not talked about enough for what he's
done and done it his way where he hasn't chosen
(35:31):
to go for a network.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
He just started his own.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Production company and now it's led to a lot of
the content they are seeing. And that's why I think
Peyton Manning has been maybe one of the best ever ambassadors.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Of the game of football with what he's done.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
But coming up next at our segment, in case you
missed it, led by the one and Only Lead to Lap.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
We'll give you a little stink preview of who could.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
Now it's time for a little something we call this.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing, the guys are here to
bring you in case.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You missed it. All right, Lee, what have we got today?
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Good morning Brady, Good morning LeVar.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
In case you missed it, we're looking ahead to supportably
oh man, LeVar. Guys, we're already looking ahead to Super
Bowl fifty nine, which of course, is going to be
played in New Orleans at the season Super Dome on
February ninth, twenty five. Guys, can you guess who might
be the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Little when you sent me the article, so I really
can't guess?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
How so wise I kind of.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Know that's true. Well, guess what.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
It's not Taylor. Taylor Swift is not the favorite. The
favorite is actually Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Oh what Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Miley Cyrus is actually the front runner at plus one
thirty seven and a half, which is a weird one.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
That followed by Taylor Swift plus two hundred.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Billie Eilish plus three hundred Dualipa jay Z round out
the top five.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Why did the article he set me have Snoop Dogg
at the front of it?
Speaker 5 (37:38):
I don't know, though, I think because he was part
of a halftime show two years.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Ago with dra Yeah. Very deceiving.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Yeah that was very deceiving, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (37:49):
I got you good.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Miley Cyrus is very random, by the way.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Did an album coming out or something?
Speaker 6 (37:55):
But she has a she has a big I got a.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Nice little song.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
I'm like not a kid anymore, something like that I've
grown up or something to that effect. I don't know
if she had one of those like I regret some
of the things I've done in my life type of
songs that came out not too long ago.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Right, was that appealing to you? Why do you know
that I liked it? I liked it. It was a
cool little song. You know, I like country. It kind
of had like a country feel.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Is she country?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Now?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
I thought she's like I don't think she's a pop.
Speaker 7 (38:20):
Yeah, I don't think she's country, but I think it
had kind of a country feel to it.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
By country pop. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
Interesting, I've got time for one more, Ley, I got.
Speaker 6 (38:29):

quarterbacks in the league right now.
Speaker 4 (38:34):

Tyrack dot com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Labar.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm not sure if you were able to watch any
of Copa what was it Copa America last night the finals? No,
were you able to see any of the brawl that
that took place.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
They're calling the Malice at the Palace too.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh no, no, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It got a little bit out of hand as Columbia won.
But Lee, did you see this last night? I mean
it was it was kind of odd, like there was
a fight that almost broke out on the field after
the game, and then as things ensued, as the players
started to kind of walk towards the sidelines the head
towards the locker room, then they started like.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Jumping up into the stands.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It was very reminiscent of going back to the Malice
in the Palace with the Detroit Pistons back in the day,
players in the stands from Uruguay like going and absolutely
getting after it.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Pretty crazy deal.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, I thought I thought was going to actually pull
this one off, but uh, you know, Columbia brings it always.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
And you can tell, and you can you could tell
that they brought it in the stands as well.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So yeah, le Ethrik, you're you're mentioning a few different
things there, but we'll try to keep it on the field.
I'm not here to talk about the actual match itself.
I care less about that. The US men's national team
obviously was not a part of it, which unfortunately that's
been more of the same. If you've if you've watched
the men's national team in soccer for quite some time,
(02:35):
Greg Burke Brooke Holter is out as the head coach
of the team, which is it's tough only because this
and I know this is not a topic that we
typically talk about, but it is more topical in the
sense of, like you're talking about the United States men's
national team in soccer, and we can't somehow figure out
(02:55):
how to be dominant like we are all these other
sports that you see when the Olympics come or World
champions Chips come, or even in the professional sports leagues,
where's by far and away mostly US players who are
dominating and leading the way. Maybe the MVP for the
MBBA NBA has been the exception in recent years. But
(03:16):
it's crazy to me that we now have a US
men's national team that can't even get out of the
group stage, Like you can't even get to the knockout round.
And I've heard every excuse possible for this. I mean
I've heard like, you're gonna blame it on the coach sometimes, which, look,
you can put on Greg burke Holter if you want,
and maybe he is to share some of the blame.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's not just on him.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I mean people will say we don't have the talent,
which almost all these guys are now playing overseas and
then they're playing in European leagues where supposed to this
soccer is better. So you can't blame on the MS.
You can't blame on the fact that we have talent.
We have talent. We've invested into the development of a
lot of these young players, and so there's not an
investment issue. It's not a talent issue. I don't even
(03:59):
know if it's a coaching you. I just it's hard
to put your finger on what it is. Clearly the
women's side tends to excel and we can't figure out
in men's soccer. Yeah, we could figure out it almost
every other sport. Like I was out in Vegas and
in USA, basketball is out there obviously with what will
be the Olympic team, and look will be the favorite,
(04:19):
we should be the heavy favorite. And the only pushback
that I got when I kind of asked some of
the coaches who are out there around the team and
the players, they said, well, it's different than the NBA,
where it's a seven game series. We're more often not
the better team wins in a seven game series. When
it's just a one game scenario, sudden death a lot
more difficult.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And that's true.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But we still are the greatest, you know basketball team
that's you know, ever you know, played or competed in
the Olympics when we put our best guys out there.
And I just don't get it, man, I feel like,
not that it's a sport that dominates because football are football.
American football is a sport that dominates. But like last night,
watching that fight and Seal and all that, I kind
(05:02):
of sat out there and just go, wait, why is
the US not able.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
To be more competitive in this?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
I think it's a great question, and to be honest,
I'm really not sure as to what the answer would be,
other than to say that soccer is probably it's probably
the most universal sport in the world, and where you have,
(05:31):
I guess in football, of course that's not it's not universal.
It's more you know, American centric basketball.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
I'm not quite sure why Americans are so dominant over
the world in terms of it being a more it's
universally played around the world the sport, the sport is played,
but America does seem to have the better the better players. Now,
(06:02):
I will say this a lot of times, there are
players that aren't necessarily all the way I mean, they're
they're American, but they might not be all the way
American that are on the US I mean they're they're
in of course, but they still have you can tell
(06:23):
the origins are stronger to probably where they're originally from,
or they're they feel like it doesn't mean as much
to them.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Is it like when Lee drinks not a non domestic bearer.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
It's funny, is it that you made a joke about?
But I think that could be. Could that be the
point that soccer means more? Soccer means more as in
terms of winning it, what it what it represents to
the culture, to the communities.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I put it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I didn't see anyone throwing fisticuffs after the US lost,
going up in the stands and getting after it.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
So maybe there's an element of that that that's probably true.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I think it means more to win in soccer. I
think it's more worldly accepted. I mean, if you think
about it, in the Olympics, like track and field is
very very competitive as well. You know, obviously in speed,
certain certain countries America, Jamaica, they dominate in speed. In distance,
(07:30):
you know, it's like places like Africa where where.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
There's dominance in distance.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
I mean, I think everybody, I think everybody around the
world kind of has their superpowers.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
But soccer is.
Speaker 7 (07:45):
That one sport where I don't know, it just has
always meant more to the world, seemingly to be able
to win it as it applies to everyone, not just
in their own area, which that is important, but just
the representation of what it means within the leagues that
(08:07):
are across the world.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It just means more.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
And why does that translate into, you know, Americans not
being athletic enough to be more competitive that one. I'm
not sure. Is it possible that the I think that
Americans care.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
As much And there's probably an element of that, Like
I don't look out there and go, oh, we don't have.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
The athletes that the other team has, Like I never
feel that way, but that could be the case. That
could be the case. That could be the case. It's disappointing.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I feel like, not to be too harsh, but it
feels like it's getting borderline pathetic. Like I'm a little
bit embarrassed about it when we try to like it's
like the one sport like you go internationally just we
cannot compete.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
It doesn't make any sense. But transitioning to a sport
where we do compete, we do tend to dominate.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It is, you know, the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It is USA men's basketball and women's basketball for that perspective.
But a decision came out yesterday Kawhi Leonard will not
be taking part as part of the Olympic team.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
As Kawhi the.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Clippers, they feel like at its best interest to skip
the Olympics, which probably the truth to some degree, I
guess for all the players, however, guys like Lebron who
played for a long time, other guys who were you know,
Steph Curry's getting up there in age, he's they're all
still playing it. Which meanwhile, did you know Steph has
not won a gold medal like a lot of these
(09:39):
guys who are on this team have played in previous Olympics,
they've actually won gold medals.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
He is not.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
But that being said, Derek White is tad as the
guy to replace Kawhi Leonard on the team, which he's
the only guy doesn't have an NBA All Star iners belt.
And I think this is probably coming off the momentum
that he built through the NBA Finals through most likely
you know, just his defensive performance, the kind of the
role player that he was with Boston this past year
(10:08):
could really fit into being a need for what they
have or excuse what they need to have going.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Into the Olympics.
Speaker 7 (10:14):
So did you find it strange Jalen Brown isn't on
the team right right?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Which is did you find that strange?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Do you think they may have asked some many didn't
want to do it, or I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I mean, that's the hard thing to try to figure out.
When you start comparing positions. You don't look at the
roster and go, yeah, that guy probably.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
This was really the first one that I was like,
all right, like kind of interesting, like you put Derek
White as a part of this and not have a
guy like Jalen Brown. However, you do have a bunch
of guys who can handle the ball, who can score,
who can do a bunch of different things offensively. You know,
how many guys do you have that are maybe one
of the best defenders in the NBA And you look
(10:57):
at it and say, can play a really good role
and by the way, as a great outside shoe, like
his game fits what the team kind of would need
in this sense, And I don't think it's gonna take
away from anyone else's game, Like I think he's a
really good fit for what this team would need without
a guy like Kawhi, because they still have plenty, plenty
of ability to score and everything else.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So I'd have an issue with it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
It was just it was interesting to hear his name
like there wasn't like it was already tapped, like it
was already ready to go, Like Derek White was the
guy without.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Much deliberation or conversations we had.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
Yeah, they probably, I would say they probably already had
it figured out as to who their reserves were. But
I just thought it was interesting. You have two Celtics
on the team, and Drew Holliday and Jason Tatum, and
then one goes down and if you're adding a third,
(11:51):
you went to Derek White. Like no shade towards Derek White.
I'm just saying, did Jalen did Jalen Brown maybe not
wanted do it once he wasn't on the original roster.
Did he not want to do it with the original roster?
I'm just curious as to that, because I think that
Jalen Brown would have been a more valuable addition to
(12:13):
the team out of out of anyone in fact, should
have been on the team to begin with originally in
my estimation. So but listen, Derek White is as you mentioned,
He's very strong on the defensive side of the ball
and if need be, if called to be, can score
on the offensive side of the ball. So he's multi
(12:35):
dimensional as a player. I think he definitely in this
championship year that they've had, in this run that they had,
he established himself as more than just kind of a
utility player. I mean, he's you can probably put maybe
a growing star in the league, establishing the fact that
he can be in that conversation, and it's a great
(12:57):
opportunity for him. I think it's a pretty I think
it's a pretty talented team. I think they have senior leadership.
I mentioned some of the names and Drew Holliday. I mean,
obviously Lebron's getting up there in age, but you got
guys like Lebron, you got guys like Kevin Durant, you
got guys like Steven Stephen Curry and Steph Curry and
(13:20):
Anthony Davis, who are to me, you know, you have
a maturity level that would be up there with what
we know of the original Dream teams that have gone
and played in the Olympics. So it'll be interesting to
see will they look more like a team that's on
a mission to make sure they uphold that reputation queue
or is it Is it going to look more all starish?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You know, will will it?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Will it have more of a playful type of deal
to it. I'm curious to see how it plays out.
But I think that they're poised to go out there
and dominate because there has been the conversation that Listen,
you got two years straight where a foreign basketball player
has gone one in the draft, and in this year's
(14:05):
draft you had two three, I believe three in the
top ten. But yeah, so it's I think it'll be
interesting to see if they try to really really show
that dominance.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
In and this year's Olympics. I think they'll be able to.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I mean again, I know there's there's competition else out there,
and only takes one bad shooting night, one hot shooting night.
You know, from the coaches I talked to, I had
a dinner I attended when we were out there, they said,
the chemistry at this point of the process.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Is really building. And so even though you again you've got.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
A piece like Kawhi that's he was out there a
little bit, I don't think it's gona hurt anything. I
think again, Derek White is the perfect kind of role player.
No idea how many minutes will end up playing. But
if he stays hot the way he was shooting in
the NBA Finals in the playoffs, if he if he
can continue to play the role of, you know, locking
down the best player from the other team, it might
be hard to keep them off the floor at times.
(15:02):
But that being said, we should we should expect for
at least our men's basketball team to.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dominate again, I would assume. So.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
No idea about men's soccer where that goes from here,
But that'll be the last time we talk about soccer
on the show. The rest of the next two days,
So thank you out for that, or two years or
maybe forever to the relevant again. Coming up next on
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, coming to you
live from the tierraq dot com Studios.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
There's a debut.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
That's coming out last night.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Did you watch it? Did you see it? We'll have
some comments on another side of the break.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
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 8 (15:51):
Polly Foods Go Here with Tony Foods Go Yeah. As
everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning Polly
and Tony Foods goes hung Yeah. But instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our shop.
Speaker 9 (16:03):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Oh yeah, well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Shut up.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Yeah, anyway, just listening to the Pauly and Toni Busco
Show on iHeartRadio. Apple podcasts, O wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yea feelick. We're working out some things behind the scenes
a little bit today. Oh yeah, little moving parts.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Speaking of parts, Uh, we get a group in the
NFL that takes part in a play and it's probably
one of the more you know, influential pieces of what's
what would be a completion in the passing game. And
finally they're getting their shine, they're getting their opportunity to
(16:58):
step in the spotlight as it was sort of starting
to be, you know, out there receiver. The Netflix series
which falls around pass Catchers with which within the NFL.
Uh obviously highlighted by Peyton Manning being a part of
this talking about this, But a lot of buzz now
coming out about this Netflix series that's coming out following
some of the best receivers in the game, guys like
(17:22):
Justin Jefferson, guys like Alvin Ross, Saint Brown. Now George
Kittle's a part of it as the tight ends they
kind of looped in the.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Pass Catchers, which I haven't seen yet.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
If there's so many running backs that play a part
in it, given the mismatch they can create. But either way,
is this something that even appeals to you, LeVar as
a defensive player, are you still waiting on like.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
The edge rushers to get there on show?
Speaker 7 (17:42):
I mean, I think the edge rushers and and some
defensive players would be more entertaining, But no, I'm not.
I Like, if it's good programming, I'm I'm in for it.
Like I like those names. I'd like to get to
know them, you know, through through the journeys that they
create through content. I love content, so you know, that's
(18:05):
that's my life. I live in content. So yeah, I
don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Is part of this ultimately though, because they couldn't get
quarterbacks to do a season two. I mean, the reality
is they couldn't get some of the bigger name, bigger
stars to do a series of quarterback After going through
and looking at the various journeys of guys like Kirk Cousins,
Marcus Mariota and seeing kind of guys at different points
in time in.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Their career where they did the quarterback series.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Like, do you feel like this is more of a
fail and a pivot or is this just the evolution
of maybe what this show was always going to be.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
You know, I would say, I would say that that's
that first one. I thought Peyton and his crew did
an amazing job of representing the players that participated.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
So I don't I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Why another group of quarterbacks wouldn't want to do it.
Now I'll say this would It could have become hard
to sustain because there's only so many quarterbacks in the league,
and really only so many that are interesting to want
(19:20):
to spend the resources to follow them around and do
you know something with them. Maybe that might be what
it is you're you're looking at it from a scalability situation,
But I didn't feel like there was anything that jumped
out at me when I saw the first season with
the quarterbacks that would say, outside of maybe with Mariota
(19:42):
and what played out with him, but that didn't have
anything to do with with the cameras or anything like that.
That had everything to do with, you know, how he
handled the situation in Atlanta, So that would have been
the only thing. I mean, for Kirk Cousins, it probably
it probably helped him get the contract that I know
(20:02):
might sound crazy, it probably helped him get the contract
that he ended up getting from Atlanta because it made
him more of a household name. Kirk Cousins was kind
of an obscure player that we knew made money off
of the contracts that he made, but wasn't quite a
totally elite quarterback in the league in terms of how
(20:27):
people viewed him publicly. I feel like this show really
gave context and color to who Kirk Cousins was and
actually made him more of a consumable and likable figure
as a player and as a person.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So to me, I've always.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
Looked at content as if, especially a major major outlet
Q comes to you and wants to do coverage on you,
have a strategy, have a plan. Content is really only
a way of entering and giving the listeners and the
viewers an opportunity to want to subscribe to something. You know,
(21:09):
it's probably already a captive audience most likely that you're
dealing with, and you create opportunities to grow that audience
and have retention of the audience. So to me, have
a plan. If they're coming to you and they want
you to do it, have a plan and have a
strategy as to how you want to represent yourself. And
what it is that you want to grow, and I
(21:30):
thought that Kirk Cousins did an amazing job of that
on the show. Now, why other quarterbacks may not have
wanted to go forward doing it and being a part
of it. Maybe they just don't they're reclusive. Maybe they
just didn't want to make the time to do it.
Their rest time, their study time, their family time was
more important. There could be a few things as the
(21:51):
reason why quarterbacks didn't want to do it. Maybe it
could have had a negative impact on maybe what you know,
their popularity is within the market that they're playing in,
or even with their teammates. I don't really know, but
I think opening it up and it not just being
(22:11):
purely driven by the quarterback, even though the game is
purely driven by the quarterback on the field, I think
they give themselves a chance to possibly have a sustainable
product and what they're doing with the show.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It's interesting you bring up the point that you think
that he signs the deal in Atlanta based off the show,
which I don't know how I feel about that, Like,
I don't know that I played much of a role.
I kind of wonder what role it played in creating
leverage for him being more likable in Minnesota through all
(22:48):
of that, Like, I think that was probably the one
thing that I built up was he became this very
likable figure with the team and everything else, and even
off the field as a family guy. And so if anything,
I feel like, maybe build up the minute it stronger
leverage for him to maybe stay in Minnesota. However, they
had already you know, kind of declared their plans, so
(23:10):
he moves on to Atlanta, even though you know, obviously
Atlanta had plans on taking a quarterback too, which didn't.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Really you end up mattering when it was all said
and done. I find a few things interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
One of the things that stood out to me was
Peyton Manning talked about the one wide.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Receiver he wishes he could throw to.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
In all of NFL history, and the name was Raymond Barry,
which used to know was Johnny Unitis's number one target
going way back in the day of the Baltimore Colts,
who probably wasn't the fastest guy, but was a great
route runner, had tremendous hands. People are gonna be like,
how the heck are you even able to say this.
(23:47):
I'm like, well, one, it's not that I'm all, I'm
a student of the game. It's not that I won
the Johnny Unitis Award. So in winning it, I kind
of read up on Johnny Unitis. I tried to watch
whatever highlights I could find of him, and that was
his main target it and that was It's interesting that
that's who Peyton Manning. Of all the guys he could
have thrown to the Randy Mosses of the world, for example,
(24:07):
whoever else or even some of the guys he he
did throw too during his time, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne
uh Dallas Clark. Yeah, obviously all the guys in Denver
as well. It's just there's something else that jumps out
at you though too.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You do know that. I don't know. I'm not going
to go down that road, but it does jump out
at you. You know. Oh, you're saying because he's white. Seriously, Yeah,
gotta gotta weird.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
But saying that it's a weird coincidence, I mean, outside
of Brandon Stokely, he's maybe, like I have thrown a
lot of white guys, you know, maybe.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I don't get that. Yeah, I don't, you know, I
don't know, But what was the reasoning? What reason then
did he give.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I don't know if there was a much justification outside of,
you know, again respecting his game back in the day
and the way he the chemistry that he had with
Johnny Unitis. But that was just one little tidbit that
I took from it.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
But I really want to point out the fact that
wonder weird guy was he wasn't even a around for that,
Like what was he? I mean, arch is now, I
will say this arch arch raised them in the game.
So maybe he had the maybe he had the projector
film up and what show and was doing all.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, maybe he was showing them old films and stuff.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Like that of guys that played the game the right
way that I could easily see that being you know
what it is that he made them study the game
from from a different angle, a different perspective than just
a casual fan watching it on television.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Because Barry's way too old.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
I mean, he's ninety one, right, So I mean that,
you know, playing with Johnny United is he wasn't you know,
we Peyton's my age. We weren't around for that. You know,
Like I talk about the Steell curtain all the time.
I would have loved to play it in the lineback
and core with the steel curtain, you know, But that's
me basing it off of and I you know.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Elsie Greenwood, Dwhite White, you know obviously me and Joe
green in that and Holmes.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I never saw them live Q But I certainly if
you'd ask me what team I would want to play
for if I had the opportunity, imagine having the opportunity
to go into a game with Jack Ham and Jack
Lambert and Meil Blunt, I would have loved it.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
But I don't really know what that means.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
I saw film on it, you know, I've watched it
in terms of the annals of it and things that
they've showed throughout NFL films and stuff like that, But
that was my only experience with it.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Is that partially because you're from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Because I feel like some people, like I said eighty
five Bears, like that's another team that if you're gonna.
Speaker 7 (26:37):
Play one defense, and I did see them, Some might
say the two thousand Ravens. I don't know, but for me,
for me, it's one hundred percent because I'm from Pittsburgh,
one hundred percent. And the idea of it is that
it built like the Still Curtain, what it just was
an extension of what the industry was in Pittsburgh. Obviously,
(27:01):
I end up in Pittsburgh because my grandfathers moved their
families from Virginia and Alabama to Pittsburgh for them to
go work in steel mills. Right, So my my my
grandfathers were still still mill workers. So they were military
and still mill mark workers. Like that's as like as
(27:22):
it American as it gets in terms of hard hat
blue collar represents your country, represent your family. And so
I was raised on on that those core values and
the Still Curtain was our that was our physical you
know that that was our example of what being hardcore,
(27:43):
hard knows tough.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
You know, what it represented.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
It became the culture, It became what our our city
represented to you know, what we wanted to represent to
anyone and everyone who wanted to know anything about Pittsburgh.
So I think it was more so that mentality as
to why I was into it the way that I was.
But I'm sure there's some type of connection there with
(28:07):
Arch and Barry, you know that, or to Johnny United's
and Arch that made him feel the way that he
felt about you know, wanting to play with Barry at
some point in time. You know, if he had the
opportunity to. There's always that cool connection or story. There's
a background story that makes it more relevant.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, you're probably right. I mean, now that you kind
of make the case for it makes a lot of sense.
My big question here, will you watch Will you watch.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
This show when it comes out?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, I watch it. Yeah, I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So no part of you, as a defensive player is
a little jealous slash looks at it and says, I'm
not gonna really, you know, want to watch these guys
who are complaining about going across the middle, like back
in a day when I mean, and again, maybe they
talk about this, Maybe they talk about the different changes
in the game and how it's protected a lot of
these guys to allow them to have the production that
(28:59):
they're having. I mean, if you want to look at
the offensive explosion we've seen in the NFL, or one
of the reasons why you know, wide receivers are some
of the highest paid nine quarterbacks and why they've become
such a critical part of any team. It's now to me,
at least shape with the fact that they're allowing the
rules allow for them to be able to venture in
parts of the field, where as you would say in
(29:21):
the Serengeti, you weren't going like that was just an area,
Like you weren't going to roam across the middle of
the field when you had certain type of safeties, linebackers,
players that were going to knock your head off that
the ball came your way. And that's one of the
things that I'm curious to see if they're going to
talk about in this is how the game has changed
to make the game in ways i'd say somewhat easier.
(29:41):
I mean, even the emphasis on defensive pass interference, defensive holding,
allowing offensive players to create more separation. Because of the
emphasis on that, I'm curious to see if they cover
this sort of thing or if it's just going to
be more of a highlight of the different receivers, the
different catches, the drills, and behind.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
The scenes of what their life looks like. You know.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I feel like Peyton and his team does such an
excellent job of having the pulse of what works like
even for him for his personal brand and how he
does things and how he handles things.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's very it's appealing.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
So I think it'll be done in a way where
it's appealing to the people who are watching. Like I said,
you gotta go for your your audience. Whatever your demo is, age,
you know, race, you know how much they make, whatever
it is. You gotta find your demo and you gotta
live in that demo. So he's not going to make
(30:39):
everybody happy with how he does the show, with how
his company does the show, but for the people that
he has the information on and the understanding of what
they're looking for, he's.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Gonna nail it.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
And I'm going to watch it, like I'm if it
gives light to what you just mentioned to you know,
if it's if it's about you know, the balance of
family and and playing the game, if it's the idea
of what it looks like of how well the team
may or may not be doing unexpected twist and turns
that the storylines are always there in football during football season.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
So I'll watch.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
I mean to me, I think there's some good names,
you know on the on the list of people.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Kittle Is is a super.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
Entertaining dude, almost like a you know, like one of
those w we you know, wrestling type type guys there,
there are personalities.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
You know, Brown is on the show, I.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
Believe, right, Yeah, I'm right, right, yeah, I mean he
you mentioned it in the notes, like, dude is a
he's he's he's a very intriguing dude just because of
his upbringing and his dad being a body builder in
the way that he you know, trained him and uh,
you know.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
His his sons.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
It's to me, it's one of those it's one of
those things where I think the guys are I think
they're interesting in the sense that you can always find
the storyline if they made it to the league, if
you're not lazy about your approach, you can always find
what's going to be appealing. And what's interesting about building
(32:24):
the brand of a player because more times, more most
often than not, Q, if you really think about it,
how many players that are playing the game really in
any league are are brand established. There's not very many
guys that have established brands to the masses of people
(32:46):
that watch, you know, So I don't for me, I
think they do a great job of establishing brands, like
I mentioned with Kirk Cousins, and so I'm interested to
see how these guys come across and and and what
the content that they're gonna collect on them as it
applies to the game, you know, and all the elements
(33:08):
that you're talking about, are they tough?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
What kind of person are you? You know?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Are you are you like an archaeologist or like like lightweight?
Like what maus?
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know? Miles? Uh, what's Miles Garrett is?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Like Miles Garrett loves like fossils and rocks and and
and dinosaur bones. And that's like that, Like would you
have imagined like that's what you do on your spare time,
Like you got Jurassic Park signs across your house and
stuff like that. Like I didn't know that, you know,
I just thought one thing. It turned out to be
another thing. So I'm just interested to see how they
(33:42):
develop the storylines of these guys and how it develops
their brands, because some people are our natural heroes, others
are natural villains.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, And it's interesting if you look at who's a
part of it, it's DeVonta Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Deebo,
Samuel is one of the names we we I left out,
Saint Brown. You know, two of the three or excuse me,
two of the five have already re upped deals.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Deebo's looking for a.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
New deal as well, potentially, and so that's I mean,
there are all different points in their career, and they're
all different types of receivers. Right DeVonta Adams is number one,
but more towards probably the end of his career. Justin Jefferson,
we're still in the prime portion of his career. Deebo
is used in a variety of ways. You know, Amora
is a guy who didn't come into the league as
a first round pick but obviously has become and emerged
(34:29):
as one of the best.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
And highest paid at the position.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
And then George Kittle, who's you know, representing the tight ends,
which you know, you wonder did they ask Travis Kelsey today,
what are the tight ends?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Did they ask to be a part of this?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
It would have been interesting to bring in some of
those personalities, given what we've seen from some of those guys, But.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Nonetheless it should be entertaining.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I think one of the low key takeaways that I've
got from it is the fact that it's NFL Films,
Omaha Productions. It's the same people have produced Quarterback and
it it kind of highlights in a subtle way. Because
we talked about Peyton and at the start of this
how well he's transitioned out of the game of football.
I mean now where you've got streaming platforms like Netflix
(35:11):
who are buying these series and buying these various things,
