Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming
up on this Monday edition, We're going to look back
at a very interesting weekend. There were some storylines out there,
some involving the NFL, some not, but all of them
pale in comparison to Lee's Black Band Aid. Trust us,
it'll make sense. We're also going to talk about the Olympics.
(00:21):
Apparently they're trying to cut cost at the Olympics so
much so that they're having somebody who's got a very
close relationship to a member of this show be the
driver for an entire team. We've also got the latest
rumors on Brandon Ayuk and we've got our FSR arm.
We close out shop with you and and you out.

Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio.

be honest. I disagree. Probably didn't hear a lot of this,

hell we feeling here on Monday morning? Good?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Better? Now that I heard that song, right.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, why wouldn't you? You know, it just gets
everybody fired up. It's festive summertime by Cap. Yeah that's Cap.
It's not true at all?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Why not? Well, because it's not. That song didn't get
us off to the right start.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Sorry, I was trying to give you, have to be
honest with you, something a little tropical based on I
liked it the first couple of times.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It's it's training camp.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
We got a lot of teams reporting I'd rather hear
like a c DC Thunderstruck something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh is that the intro? I like that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Thunderstruck is good.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yea, something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Thunderstruck is good.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So what was the what was the song of choice?
Did you have entrance music when you walked up or
arrived at training camp?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well, when I came out of the tunnel, when when
I was getting introduced or made a play, was the
Darth Darth Vader theme song? Just because I wore a
visor black vision? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was pretty cool.
That's pretty cool too, because I laid somebody up, you know,
put them in a body bag, Johnny, and then they
start playing the dar Vader song. You know, when dar
(02:58):
Vader was coming, you know, somebody was going to die.
So I was kind of like, you know, it was
kind of cool. You know, that became my dip.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So you're saying you were trying to commit murder on
the field.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yes, jeez, isn't that scary?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
It's it's intense. I mean, I don't feel scary. I'm
sure there's other people who felt the same.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Way.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I was hoping that you'd say scary because you're a quarterback,
so you know, I don't know, but if you were
no defender, it would be kind of.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
You know, there's nothing greater than than like seeing a
defender like hit you, you know, knowing he's going to
hit you, throwing a football and literally letting him know, oh,
completing it, touchdown, whatever, and just looking at him. I
mean it's like it's like you kind of are like
mushroom stamping your forehead. There's nothing better than that, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
The cool thing about me, though, is as hard as
I would hit you, I generally most times all help
you up.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, it would always help you up.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So you didn't need to I usually just bounce right
back up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, then you came from the same school of thought
that when I came. Didn't that Andrew Luck used to
do that. He would congratulate guys.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, it's dope, man, But like down within the games, No,
I didn't get pissed off like I was already pissed off.
So I didn't get pissed off, but I had a
good time being pissed off, like I was a happy
pissed off.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
If you saw that it didn't have the effect from
a physical standpoint.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That you thought it was going to. And I didn't
have to see it because I felt it. So you know,
when you're able to feel the force that you're inflicting
on somebody, it's okay for him to say, oh, you know,
that's great. You know, great play, LeVar all that stuff,
but you're going to feel it. I know that you
were going to feel it, especially if I got like
a you know, like one of those one on ones
(04:45):
and I was able to kind of not have to
slow down, just you know, give them a wiggle and
go go right around. You know, sometimes it's like it
wasn't about trying to get the ball out. I really
wanted to get the ball out more often than not,
but sometimes I just really wanted to just hit the
guy really really, really really hard.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, Jonas feels the same way.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, from behind to by the way, and that's how
it would hit one. And that's how I would hit Jonas.
If Jonas was out there on the field, I hit
him very hard.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Don't stan, I don't know. We're hitting down that is
by the way path, the the.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That is Jonas is like Lee.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Jonah still wants to live and get to hit hard
from behind.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Color. Make sure ate that Lee.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Has a black man color color bad aid.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
For his arm her medicine cabinet this weekend. Damn see
my color. Lead's like, I don't. I wanted to blend
in lead and.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Went into the darkness.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
What she scratched you like? It was bad? Like? What
why did you need that band aid?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
This is all I got?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Lee? Are you confused?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
You tried it, it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Let IoT it happened. The transition is not done. I saw,
but I didn't even put it together. And Lamar's like.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Lee, he's got a black man day.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, listening, that might be the funniest jug I've ever
seen in my timeline.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
What white person do you know would willingly want to
put on him skin color bad aid?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's brow lead to laugh.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You are the man? You are the man? Oh my god?
Even like it didn't even click, and I was like,
oh god, you're right. Well listen, I've never seen that
ever in my life.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That that was a fir.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Thank you sir. You know, seriously, where'd you get that
band aid from me? I really want to hear the story.
Labo Yes, he came in and his arm was gushing blood.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
And what what you gave him? The best? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Wow? Did that rabbit hole get a lot?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yes, it looks like she got a take home back
from the pool party.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, pool party or otherwise.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It was the first band aid in the cabinet.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I actually, you want me to give you my conspiracy
theory on this.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Little gift to go?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You want me to give you.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
This?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Do we have a do we need Robert snack trench
code we go? Oh, here's the theory.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You gotta think that's a Fox Sports Radio Studios, Fox
Sports Radio. It can only be one person's because there's
only one person who's cheap enough.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Only one person.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Who would go to HR or go to whoever would
be stocking anything in the coffee area for food, first
aid kid and all that and think of themselves before
everyone else. And that person is Rob Parker.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Oh that's a good call.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Most likely said, Hey, actually, I'm not gonna try to
do an impression of there we go.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's like I'm trying to get a band aid. I
open the medicine cabinet, all I see is white band aids.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
That's it's not Rob Parker probably probably is.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Get it for free.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Kill the music. Now for the true story here.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I still want the true story, Loreena, Why do you
have a brown person's uh band aid.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
In your care? They are full of them in the cabinet.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All different shades, all different colors. Oh snap? Did they
have pasty? Do they have anything to match my skin?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah? Pasty past it too, just used white out. That
was a good point. Why was uh, why was Lee's
arm bleeding?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I think that's why.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Did he doesn't know?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Why did you feel the need to get him?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh wow, oh wow, Please keep your pants up, man,
give your pants up.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Then? Why is Lorena screaming?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Why did you know he dropped something? I talked over
Lorena's drink. I'm sorry, that's all right. There's no cockroaches
in there, so don't worry about it. Oh yeah, they're
worried about they're in there, di, don don't worry about
they're now climbing walls in this place.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Lee just gave them a door delivery after door delivery,
now that I hadn't spilled her drink, they don't even
need an app h.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
But you don't know why your arm was bleeding.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Just came in and like patched me up. I was like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Okay, what type of night did you have?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Lee?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Lee?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Sunday night? Oh lord, he's still having it. He's still
having it. That's what it means.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Cute. What a Sunday night? Damn? Oh no, oh no,
it's gonna be one.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Day all right, all right, Well, you know, by the way,
congratulations to the US men's basketball. Yeah, the way pulling
it out. Just that gutty performance against unlikely oh day,
Lee stated against South Sudan, not Lee, the US men's
(11:28):
basketball team, but just a gutty performance surviving that one.
What were they forty one and a half point favorites?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I had forty three?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, I mean listen, you know, and uh hey, you
know what happens, you know, and it's you know, every
so often a forty three point favorite will survive by
one point against the team as you get ready for
the Olympics. So not great, but according they got through it.
They got through it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
And according to.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Can I give you that's what someone said to me.
We're in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
So I had a night dinner around some coaches, basketball
coaches and they're talking about because I asked as like, hey,
you know you've been around the team, how does the
chemistry look?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
You know, all those random questions. I don't even why
I'm asking them.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It's not like I would know one way or another,
but I'm streighting trying to make conversation, and then at
the topic comes up of well, it's you know, it's
a hard it's it's gonna be harder to win an
NBA finals than it is to win the Olympics, and
they're like, I don't know. I was like, well, it's
like you got to win four of seven games, like
against the best, the best in the world. I was like,
(12:35):
what do you mean And they're like, well, you know,
it only takes you know, one off night where the
other team could be having like a lights out, you know,
shooting and all stuff. And they're like, you know, some
of these teams have other NBA players too, And I go, yeah,
our team has all NBA players, and by the.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Way, they're the best at the NBA. So what what
do you mean like they have some NBA players. Okay,
Like I hear that phrase sometimes and they apply to this.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
You see well, you know what, yes, you see they
got a lot of at the future NFL players, and
those rosters are like, yeah, well then when they get
to the NFL, they're all NFL players.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Like it's like that argument is null and void the
second you.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
You sort of trying to like categorize them when you're like,
wait a second, No, every single player on the NBA
team or on the on the USA is an NBA
player there by the way, an NBA All Star. It's
not even like some of these other players, like yeah,
they've got a guy that's you know, played or three
guys that have played in the league or playing the league.
It's like, well, yeah, I understand this m VP here
and there, but for the most part, it's not even
(13:32):
close to what we have, Like we should be able
to win that easily, even if it is in a
sudden death, you know, one game scenario like that.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah. Well, I mean I think it's uh, it's good
to get tested like this. You know, maybe that'll wake
them up a little bit, you know, I mean that's
what Lebron said. He said, they need sometimes you need
to be uh tested. Yeah, just you know, get your
eyes open a little bit. Yeah, you know, Olympics, you know, right,
around the corner. So at least they're they're going to
be locked in and ready to go, so you know,
(14:01):
we'll get get some fun stuff when it comes to
the Olympics later on. By the way, we're gonna gamble
our asses off on the Olympics. Are we allowed to
do that or is that considered like, uh, you know,
disrespectful because it's a it's different than like a standard game,
like are we allowed to uh throw some bets out there,
maybe some over unders on certain events?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
You know, maybe let me ask you this, Jonas. If
I said no, we're not allowed, is that going to
change anything with our show?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
But I just want to know whether or not. I
just want to know whether or not we're doing something
that would be considered reckless, because if it is, I'm
in like, well it's reckless. Yeah, let's get wild, like
putting a brown band aid on a white arm. That
is that band aid ain't brown?
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Thanks Rob Parker?
Speaker 3 (14:47):

with you any you out, It's all yours here. Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe on a Monday morning

Speaker 2 (18:31):
All right? Lee?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Lee, Lee, Oh boy Lee.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
The last we are in for one today.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I mean, it's all wrong. In the second segment, that's
very fun.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And Lorena does not help.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
She just instigates y. She does. She's figuring it out.
She gets the best out of Lee as she does.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Coming up twenty minutes from now here on the tire
rack dot Com studios. Uh, somebody may have gotten their
team in trouble in the world of sports. Uh, not intentional,
but we will get into the details of that for
you again. About twenty minutes from now here on Fox
Sports Radio. So there was a little passage that came
out from Kevin Seaffert, who covers the NFL for ESPN
(19:14):
on the Minnesota Vikings, who I believe just inked JJ
McCarthy to his rookie deal. They got that done over
the weekend and just kind of looking back on what
happened with the whole Kirk Cousins situation and this is
how it went. So, according to seafort quote, Kevin O'Connell
leveled with Kirk Cousins after the season. The Vikings three
(19:34):
and six record after his injury had exposed the dangers
of not looking beyond the thirty six year old quarterback.
With their best draft position in a decade, the team
had decided to tap into a deep twenty twenty four
quarterback class and find its next starter. But no one,
not ownership, not GM, not head coach Kevin O'Connell wanted
the rookie to play right away. Cousins would be their
(19:55):
starter in twenty twenty four and possibly longer. So Cousins
heard that and decided I'm out of here. Yeah, And
then the Atlanta Falcons decided, well, we probably look at
you the same exact way Kirk Cousins. So so basically
we're going to.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Take a quarterback even earlier than.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So basically exact same situation. And I just wondered from
a like hypothetically speaking, if you were in his spot, knowing,
like if everything was on the table and you knew
same situation Minnesota and Atlanta, wouldn't you have just stayed
in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
If they would have give him a hundred million guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yes, but that's the difference.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
That was the difference. You know, they gave him a
fully guaranteed deal the last time. This time he wasn't
gonna get that, and that was a sticking point. And
he didn't necessarily get that in Atlanta either. It's not
fully guaranteed. But the next two years are I mean,
if they want to move on from kirk Cousins, okay,
but the money wise, like it'd be very unwise to
(20:58):
do it this year and then look Arthur blank in
the face and be like, dude, sorry, we just Michael Pennix.
We feel like it's way better for us. It's like, well,
you could have just drafted them and not paid them
all my money. That was That was an option, right, Well,
so I mean if they move on from Kirk Cousins
(21:19):
in the next two years, that is going to be
a significant cap hit. Or you're paying a significant amount
of money to a guy who's not starting for your team.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
That's a pricey insurance policy. If we wan't put it
that way.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, listen, I think in terms of there there was
there was a time and in football society where there
was actually the thought process that a rookie, even if
a high draft pick, even if a high profile guy,
would actually come in and and I know this might
(21:55):
sound crazy, I know this might throw a lot of
people off, but they might.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
No hold on.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
They might sit their rookie year and they might even
sit their sophomore year in the National Football League to
learn from the quarterback that was in front of them
that actually, there actually was a time where certain you know,
certain organizations did things that way. Players would actually sit,
(22:24):
learn get reps, mental reps, get reps in practice. You know,
it was interesting to me when I played the guys
that would get drafted, they were taking reps against the
first team defense because they weren't starting, and so they're
(22:45):
getting they're getting quality reps even though they're not playing
in the game because they're running the scouteam now, although
not running the plays of our team, they were still
getting the same reads, the same you know, you're getting
what the defenses are going to run against you once
you get in there as a quarterback. So there's a
(23:06):
development aspect of this. If I'm Kirk Cousins, if I'm
getting my money and I have a starting job and
I'm not actually competing for a starting job, then I
should be okay with this. You should be okay with
this because in college they're always recruiting the kid to
come take that job, and the pros they're always drafting
(23:26):
a guy that they can get to take that job
and take it for cheaper. Everybody knows that coming in,
so there shouldn't be any real reason for any type
of animosity or any type of malice or hard feelings.
Just do your job and do it at a high level.
That's all it really comes down to. You're always having
you're They're always having to deal with someone who's coming
(23:47):
for your job. That's generally how it works.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But do you think the fact that Minnesota was more
upfront with him about it and told him the plan
maybe He looks at that and goes because he like
in comments he had after the fact, it did seem
like it bothered him. He's going to be a pro
about That's.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
A different level of respect. If the organization tells you
what they're doing, you had a different level of respect,
which who wouldn't Who would argue the fact that he
had familiarity in Minnesota, So there must have been an
affinity for him as a person. They must have truly
respected who he was and really wanted him to stay
(24:25):
there and be a part of their team. Because the
organization doesn't have to tell you what. You're not Atlanta's
franchise quarterback for the last five six years. They don't
owe you any explanation. You know, you haven't earned that
right in Atlanta yet. I mean, you're not no you know,
(24:46):
no disrespect, but you're not a Patrick Mahomes. You're not
a Tom Brady. You come in like, hey Tom, you know,
we just like for you to know, Hey, hey Patrick,
we would just like you to know like you're not
on that You're not on that level where they owe
you an explanation. You're you're an employee. You're still an employee.
I mean, Cookie crumbles sometimes.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Brady, When you were in Cleveland, did they tell you
what the plan was going into your rookie year, Like,
did they say Derek Anderson is going to be the starter,
but there's going to be a competition or was there
just sort of will figure it out and once we
get there and you know, whoever we feel strongest about
or whoever is there is going to be your guy.
Or was it Charlie Frye who was the starter of
(25:28):
week one that year?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Well, I mean Charlie fry was the start of week one.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
One of the conversations I mean they would have liked
me to have is they were really hoping I could
sit I mean back then that was more of the norm.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It was the norm.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
And to Lvar's point, they want you to sit there,
want you to watch.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
They wanted you to learn how guys ahead of you
or played before you professionally prepared, and how they went
about not only running the offense right, which you know
again was more of the offense you'd get there and
it was nothing like it was more of like, how
can we can this guy fit into the offense we
(26:04):
want to run? That was how scouting was kind of
looked at. It wasn't looked at, is hey, what did
this guy do in college. Let's basically run that offense.
Let's let's cater towards everything like that.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Which would have been dope for guys like you. It
would be for a guy like me, because they damn
sure didn't use me the way they used me in college.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
So that was the frustrating point.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Is you change your drop, you changing your grip, You're
changing you know, the tempo of the drops, how you're
looking at things, how you're calling things, and so you
know there's an adjustment period for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
But that's what they wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
They wanted you to basically take a redshirt year, you know,
just to put into college football terms, and you know
from there then you you would understand once you got
in the season, how teams prepare for you, how you
prepare for teams. You know how different it looks in
game with adjustments that you make. A lot of people
think I heard this phrase the other day. You know,
average coaches make adjustments in the offseason. Good coaches make
(26:58):
adjustments at halftime. Great just make adjustments all the time.
And that's the NFL is your people who think you
wait to have time to come in, hit the chalkboard
up or dry erase board.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
All right, boys, here's what we're gonna do. It's every
single drive.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I've been a part of game plans where that team's
coming out doing something completely different and you're like, yeah,
we're tossing this, we're doing remember like week two installed
in training camp, that's what we're gonna do. And we're
gonna do this, this, this, and this, and you're like
writing down a whole new script of plays that happens.
So it's learning all those things because in college, I
mean and and honestly, it could be as simple as
(27:35):
you know you I don't see what systems, but.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
You're a coach.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You're talking about, well, we just wanted to look towards
like where the green grasses, you know, like look towards
open space. And you're like, Okay, that's not gonna ever
help this young man if he wants to play in
the NFL, like, like, look to the open space.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Are you saying there's no open space in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
It's not just that, it's just the fact that you
don't have time to kind of just survey the field
or not have an idea of who's going to win
a route, because every throw for the most part, is
an anticipatory throw. I mean, you're throwing before the guys open.
You're throwing before the guy is where he's supposed to be,
So you better have a strong understanding of what his
route is, what is around adjustment is what the leverage is,
(28:16):
and who's open who's not based on the covers that
you're getting preasing that post that. So it's just an
entirely different game. It's why it takes a little bit
for guys to be able to understand what they're saying.
Like I tell people all the time, the way the
fields can find is different for quarterbacks. The hash are
so wide in college that you have a safety near
a HASH, it's most like it was split safety coverage.
(28:37):
If it's in the NFL, it's flipped because the HASH
is so much more narrow. So if there's a safety
near a HASH, you're thinking a little bit more post
I coverages. So it's just you're trained that way to
look at the field for you know, what checks the line, scrimmage, audibles,
you know, whatever the coverage is, this is how we're
trying to attack it. You know, you're training and thinking
all those things. So it's just it's just an adjustment.
(28:59):
But usually teams want you to sit out for your
rookie year to then learn. And I think nowadays teams
and this is just my opinion, with the way the
draft is now slotted, I think it is become easier
for a team to run through a quarterback after two years,
(29:20):
three years and play them for relatively cheap compared to
the old system when Sam Bradford got fifty million guaranteed
before you throw a pass. You know, if you go
look at the deals that are signed now, they're still
not there. They're fully guaranteed four year deals with a
fifth year option. They are still not there to that,
(29:43):
and I think they view it as and by the way,
the salary cap is, you know, this is what twelve
years ago when Bradford had his deal, and so the
salary cap has increased obviously since then, and they're still
not reaching what his deal was as a number one
overall pick, so they can run they can basically, we
throw a quarterback out there, two three is does work out?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
What was store another one in there? Let's go draft another.
That's an essence. What's happened.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Now, with the way the draft is slotted, that's gonna
be fun to see which one of these guys gets
the call first. I wonder I know they're planning on
McCarthy and Panick sitting this year, but I wonder if
if at some point one of those guys is gonna
get called into action, because.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Which one y'all think is more like? I know we're
up against it, but which one do y'all think is
more likely to start this year? McCarthy you think, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I think so too. I mean the Cousins.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Let's just the money, Yeah, I think the money says
it has to be McCarthy that gets it. Yeah, what
if Michael Pinnicks? Really what if Michael Pinnick is lighting
it up?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
If he comes in and just like sets the league
on fire in the preseason, then I wonder what that
looks like.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
That's uh, I mean, he gets guaranteed Cousins gets guaranteed money.
But that money is guaranteed, so at the end of
the day, he's on his rookie contract. I mean, it's
a it's a two year if he wins, Like, imagine
if he actually put two year dip. I put it
put him in, put him in that two year DiPT Hey,
(31:20):
you put him in there. I mean, Kurt, you got
one hell of a backup. And and listen, Kurt is
not unfamiliar to being a backup to ending.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Kurt kurk Kirk. I did just Kurt.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I did just Kirk. Yeah, Kirk Kirk k captain Kirk. Yeah,
I did say Kurt, uh yeah, I mean he he's
not unfamiliar to being a backup to uh, a top
black quarterback.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I just at least put me on that least put
me on that path today. I'm sorry. I mean, if
anything happens band boxes here, I just like you know,
I couldn't help but to say it.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I was right there for me. Let me just point
out the fact that it was low hanging. Levard did
also mention this during the break. There's a band aid
for everybody except white people.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
That's pretty interesting. Like, that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That is insulting.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
I mean you should feel bad, Yeah, you should con
play better.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I am right now. I'll see see Rob Parker on
it too.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Let him know, h it hit every tone except you
by the one of those band aids match.
Speaker 1 (32:31):

hell we feeling here on Monday morning? Good?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Better? Now that I heard that song, right.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, why wouldn't you? You know, it just gets
everybody fired up. It's festive summertime by Cap. Yeah that's Cap.
It's not true at all?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Why not? Well, because it's not. That song didn't get
us off to the right start.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Sorry, I was trying to give you, have to be
honest with you, something a little tropical based on I
liked it the first couple of times.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It's it's training camp.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
We got a lot of teams reporting I'd rather hear
like a c DC Thunderstruck something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh is that the intro? I like that.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Thunderstruck is good.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yea, something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Thunderstruck is good.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So what was the what was the song of choice?
Did you have entrance music when you walked up or
arrived at training camp?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well, when I came out of the tunnel, when when
I was getting introduced or made a play, was the
Darth Darth Vader theme song? Just because I wore a
visor black vision? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was pretty cool.
That's pretty cool too, because I laid somebody up, you know,
put them in a body bag, Johnny, and then they
start playing the dar Vader song. You know, when dar
(02:58):
Vader was coming, you know, somebody was going to die.
So I was kind of like, you know, it was
kind of cool. You know, that became my dip.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So you're saying you were trying to commit murder on
the field.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yes, jeez, isn't that scary?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
It's it's intense. I mean, I don't feel scary. I'm
sure there's other people who felt the same.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Way.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I was hoping that you'd say scary because you're a quarterback,
so you know, I don't know, but if you were
no defender, it would be kind of.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
You know, there's nothing greater than than like seeing a
defender like hit you, you know, knowing he's going to
hit you, throwing a football and literally letting him know, oh,
completing it, touchdown, whatever, and just looking at him. I
mean it's like it's like you kind of are like
mushroom stamping your forehead. There's nothing better than that, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
The cool thing about me, though, is as hard as
I would hit you, I generally most times all help
you up.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, it would always help you up.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So you didn't need to I usually just bounce right
back up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, then you came from the same school of thought
that when I came. Didn't that Andrew Luck used to
do that. He would congratulate guys.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, it's dope, man, But like down within the games, No,
I didn't get pissed off like I was already pissed off.
So I didn't get pissed off, but I had a
good time being pissed off, like I was a happy
pissed off.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
If you saw that it didn't have the effect from
a physical standpoint.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That you thought it was going to. And I didn't
have to see it because I felt it. So you know,
when you're able to feel the force that you're inflicting
on somebody, it's okay for him to say, oh, you know,
that's great. You know, great play, LeVar all that stuff,
but you're going to feel it. I know that you
were going to feel it, especially if I got like
a you know, like one of those one on ones
(04:45):
and I was able to kind of not have to
slow down, just you know, give them a wiggle and
go go right around. You know, sometimes it's like it
wasn't about trying to get the ball out. I really
wanted to get the ball out more often than not,
but sometimes I just really wanted to just hit the
guy really really, really really hard.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, Jonas feels the same way.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, from behind to by the way, and that's how
it would hit one. And that's how I would hit Jonas.
If Jonas was out there on the field, I hit
him very hard.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Don't stan, I don't know. We're hitting down that is
by the way path, the the.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That is Jonas is like Lee.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Jonah still wants to live and get to hit hard
from behind.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Color. Make sure ate that Lee.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Has a black man color color bad aid.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
For his arm her medicine cabinet this weekend. Damn see
my color. Lead's like, I don't. I wanted to blend
in lead and.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Went into the darkness.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
What she scratched you like? It was bad? Like? What
why did you need that band aid?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
This is all I got?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Lee? Are you confused?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
You tried it, it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Let IoT it happened. The transition is not done. I saw,
but I didn't even put it together. And Lamar's like.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Lee, he's got a black man day.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Well, listening, that might be the funniest jug I've ever
seen in my timeline.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
What white person do you know would willingly want to
put on him skin color bad aid?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's brow lead to laugh.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You are the man? You are the man? Oh my god?
Even like it didn't even click, and I was like,
oh god, you're right. Well listen, I've never seen that
ever in my life.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
That that was a fir.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Thank you sir. You know, seriously, where'd you get that
band aid from me? I really want to hear the story.
Labo Yes, he came in and his arm was gushing blood.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
And what what you gave him? The best? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Wow? Did that rabbit hole get a lot?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yes, it looks like she got a take home back
from the pool party.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, pool party or otherwise.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
It was the first band aid in the cabinet.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I actually, you want me to give you my conspiracy
theory on this.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Little gift to go?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You want me to give you.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
This?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Do we have a do we need Robert snack trench
code we go? Oh, here's the theory.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
You gotta think that's a Fox Sports Radio Studios, Fox
Sports Radio. It can only be one person's because there's
only one person who's cheap enough.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Only one person.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Who would go to HR or go to whoever would
be stocking anything in the coffee area for food, first
aid kid and all that and think of themselves before
everyone else. And that person is Rob Parker.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Oh that's a good call.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Most likely said, Hey, actually, I'm not gonna try to
do an impression of there we go.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
It's like I'm trying to get a band aid. I
open the medicine cabinet, all I see is white band aids.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
That's it's not Rob Parker probably probably is.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Get it for free.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Kill the music. Now for the true story here.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I still want the true story, Loreena, Why do you
have a brown person's uh band aid.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
In your care? They are full of them in the cabinet.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All different shades, all different colors. Oh snap? Did they
have pasty? Do they have anything to match my skin?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah? Pasty past it too, just used white out. That
was a good point. Why was uh, why was Lee's
arm bleeding?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I think that's why.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Did he doesn't know?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Why did you feel the need to get him?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh wow, oh wow, Please keep your pants up, man,
give your pants up.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Then? Why is Lorena screaming?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Why did you know he dropped something? I talked over
Lorena's drink. I'm sorry, that's all right. There's no cockroaches
in there, so don't worry about it. Oh yeah, they're
worried about they're in there, di, don don't worry about
they're now climbing walls in this place.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Lee just gave them a door delivery after door delivery,
now that I hadn't spilled her drink, they don't even
need an app h.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
But you don't know why your arm was bleeding.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Just came in and like patched me up. I was like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Okay, what type of night did you have?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Lee?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Lee?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Sunday night? Oh lord, he's still having it. He's still
having it. That's what it means.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Cute. What a Sunday night? Damn? Oh no, oh no,
it's gonna be one.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Day all right, all right, Well, you know, by the way,
congratulations to the US men's basketball. Yeah, the way pulling
it out. Just that gutty performance against unlikely oh day,
Lee stated against South Sudan, not Lee, the US men's
(11:28):
basketball team, but just a gutty performance surviving that one.
What were they forty one and a half point favorites?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I had forty three?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, I mean listen, you know, and uh hey, you
know what happens, you know, and it's you know, every
so often a forty three point favorite will survive by
one point against the team as you get ready for
the Olympics. So not great, but according they got through it.
They got through it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
And according to.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Can I give you that's what someone said to me.
We're in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
So I had a night dinner around some coaches, basketball
coaches and they're talking about because I asked as like, hey,
you know you've been around the team, how does the
chemistry look?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
You know, all those random questions. I don't even why
I'm asking them.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It's not like I would know one way or another,
but I'm streighting trying to make conversation, and then at
the topic comes up of well, it's you know, it's
a hard it's it's gonna be harder to win an
NBA finals than it is to win the Olympics, and
they're like, I don't know. I was like, well, it's
like you got to win four of seven games, like
against the best, the best in the world. I was like,
(12:35):
what do you mean And they're like, well, you know,
it only takes you know, one off night where the
other team could be having like a lights out, you know,
shooting and all stuff. And they're like, you know, some
of these teams have other NBA players too, And I go, yeah,
our team has all NBA players, and by the.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Way, they're the best at the NBA. So what what
do you mean like they have some NBA players. Okay,
Like I hear that phrase sometimes and they apply to this.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
You see well, you know what, yes, you see they
got a lot of at the future NFL players, and
those rosters are like, yeah, well then when they get
to the NFL, they're all NFL players.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Like it's like that argument is null and void the
second you.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
You sort of trying to like categorize them when you're like,
wait a second, No, every single player on the NBA
team or on the on the USA is an NBA
player there by the way, an NBA All Star. It's
not even like some of these other players, like yeah,
they've got a guy that's you know, played or three
guys that have played in the league or playing the league.
It's like, well, yeah, I understand this m VP here
and there, but for the most part, it's not even
(13:32):
close to what we have, Like we should be able
to win that easily, even if it is in a
sudden death, you know, one game scenario like that.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah. Well, I mean I think it's uh, it's good
to get tested like this. You know, maybe that'll wake
them up a little bit, you know, I mean that's
what Lebron said. He said, they need sometimes you need
to be uh tested. Yeah, just you know, get your
eyes open a little bit. Yeah, you know, Olympics, you know, right,
around the corner. So at least they're they're going to
be locked in and ready to go, so you know,
(14:01):
we'll get get some fun stuff when it comes to
the Olympics later on. By the way, we're gonna gamble
our asses off on the Olympics. Are we allowed to
do that or is that considered like, uh, you know,
disrespectful because it's a it's different than like a standard game,
like are we allowed to uh throw some bets out there,
maybe some over unders on certain events?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
You know, maybe let me ask you this, Jonas. If
I said no, we're not allowed, is that going to
change anything with our show?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
But I just want to know whether or not. I
just want to know whether or not we're doing something
that would be considered reckless, because if it is, I'm
in like, well it's reckless. Yeah, let's get wild, like
putting a brown band aid on a white arm. That
is that band aid ain't brown?
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Thanks Rob Parker?
Speaker 3 (14:47):

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Lee, Lee, Oh boy Lee.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
The last we are in for one today.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I mean, it's all wrong. In the second segment, that's
very fun.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And Lorena does not help.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
She just instigates y. She does. She's figuring it out.
She gets the best out of Lee as she does.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Coming up twenty minutes from now here on the tire
rack dot Com studios. Uh, somebody may have gotten their
team in trouble in the world of sports. Uh, not intentional,
but we will get into the details of that for
you again. About twenty minutes from now here on Fox
Sports Radio. So there was a little passage that came
out from Kevin Seaffert, who covers the NFL for ESPN
(19:14):
on the Minnesota Vikings, who I believe just inked JJ
McCarthy to his rookie deal. They got that done over
the weekend and just kind of looking back on what
happened with the whole Kirk Cousins situation and this is
how it went. So, according to seafort quote, Kevin O'Connell
leveled with Kirk Cousins after the season. The Vikings three
(19:34):
and six record after his injury had exposed the dangers
of not looking beyond the thirty six year old quarterback.
With their best draft position in a decade, the team
had decided to tap into a deep twenty twenty four
quarterback class and find its next starter. But no one,
not ownership, not GM, not head coach Kevin O'Connell wanted
the rookie to play right away. Cousins would be their
(19:55):
starter in twenty twenty four and possibly longer. So Cousins
heard that and decided I'm out of here. Yeah, And
then the Atlanta Falcons decided, well, we probably look at
you the same exact way Kirk Cousins. So so basically
we're going to.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Take a quarterback even earlier than.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So basically exact same situation. And I just wondered from
a like hypothetically speaking, if you were in his spot, knowing,
like if everything was on the table and you knew
same situation Minnesota and Atlanta, wouldn't you have just stayed
in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
If they would have give him a hundred million guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yes, but that's the difference.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
That was the difference. You know, they gave him a
fully guaranteed deal the last time. This time he wasn't
gonna get that, and that was a sticking point. And
he didn't necessarily get that in Atlanta either. It's not
fully guaranteed. But the next two years are I mean,
if they want to move on from kirk Cousins, okay,
but the money wise, like it'd be very unwise to
(20:58):
do it this year and then look Arthur blank in
the face and be like, dude, sorry, we just Michael Pennix.
We feel like it's way better for us. It's like, well,
you could have just drafted them and not paid them
all my money. That was That was an option, right, Well,
so I mean if they move on from Kirk Cousins
(21:19):
in the next two years, that is going to be
a significant cap hit. Or you're paying a significant amount
of money to a guy who's not starting for your team.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
That's a pricey insurance policy. If we wan't put it
that way.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah, listen, I think in terms of there there was
there was a time and in football society where there
was actually the thought process that a rookie, even if
a high draft pick, even if a high profile guy,
would actually come in and and I know this might
(21:55):
sound crazy, I know this might throw a lot of
people off, but they might.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
No hold on.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
They might sit their rookie year and they might even
sit their sophomore year in the National Football League to
learn from the quarterback that was in front of them
that actually, there actually was a time where certain you know,
certain organizations did things that way. Players would actually sit,
(22:24):
learn get reps, mental reps, get reps in practice. You know,
it was interesting to me when I played the guys
that would get drafted, they were taking reps against the
first team defense because they weren't starting, and so they're
(22:45):
getting they're getting quality reps even though they're not playing
in the game because they're running the scouteam now, although
not running the plays of our team, they were still
getting the same reads, the same you know, you're getting
what the defenses are going to run against you once
you get in there as a quarterback. So there's a
(23:06):
development aspect of this. If I'm Kirk Cousins, if I'm
getting my money and I have a starting job and
I'm not actually competing for a starting job, then I
should be okay with this. You should be okay with
this because in college they're always recruiting the kid to
come take that job, and the pros they're always drafting
(23:26):
a guy that they can get to take that job
and take it for cheaper. Everybody knows that coming in,
so there shouldn't be any real reason for any type
of animosity or any type of malice or hard feelings.
Just do your job and do it at a high level.
That's all it really comes down to. You're always having
you're They're always having to deal with someone who's coming
(23:47):
for your job. That's generally how it works.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
But do you think the fact that Minnesota was more
upfront with him about it and told him the plan
maybe He looks at that and goes because he like
in comments he had after the fact, it did seem
like it bothered him. He's going to be a pro
about That's.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
A different level of respect. If the organization tells you
what they're doing, you had a different level of respect,
which who wouldn't Who would argue the fact that he
had familiarity in Minnesota, So there must have been an
affinity for him as a person. They must have truly
respected who he was and really wanted him to stay
(24:25):
there and be a part of their team. Because the
organization doesn't have to tell you what. You're not Atlanta's
franchise quarterback for the last five six years. They don't
owe you any explanation. You know, you haven't earned that
right in Atlanta yet. I mean, you're not no you know,
(24:46):
no disrespect, but you're not a Patrick Mahomes. You're not
a Tom Brady. You come in like, hey Tom, you know,
we just like for you to know, Hey, hey Patrick,
we would just like you to know like you're not
on that You're not on that level where they owe
you an explanation. You're you're an employee. You're still an employee.
I mean, Cookie crumbles sometimes.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Brady, When you were in Cleveland, did they tell you
what the plan was going into your rookie year, Like,
did they say Derek Anderson is going to be the starter,
but there's going to be a competition or was there
just sort of will figure it out and once we
get there and you know, whoever we feel strongest about
or whoever is there is going to be your guy.
Or was it Charlie Frye who was the starter of
(25:28):
week one that year?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Well, I mean Charlie fry was the start of week one.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
One of the conversations I mean they would have liked
me to have is they were really hoping I could
sit I mean back then that was more of the norm.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
It was the norm.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
And to Lvar's point, they want you to sit there,
want you to watch.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
They wanted you to learn how guys ahead of you
or played before you professionally prepared, and how they went
about not only running the offense right, which you know
again was more of the offense you'd get there and
it was nothing like it was more of like, how
can we can this guy fit into the offense we
(26:04):
want to run? That was how scouting was kind of
looked at. It wasn't looked at, is hey, what did
this guy do in college. Let's basically run that offense.
Let's let's cater towards everything like that.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Which would have been dope for guys like you. It
would be for a guy like me, because they damn
sure didn't use me the way they used me in college.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
So that was the frustrating point.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Is you change your drop, you changing your grip, You're
changing you know, the tempo of the drops, how you're
looking at things, how you're calling things, and so you
know there's an adjustment period for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
But that's what they wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
They wanted you to basically take a redshirt year, you know,
just to put into college football terms, and you know
from there then you you would understand once you got
in the season, how teams prepare for you, how you
prepare for teams. You know how different it looks in
game with adjustments that you make. A lot of people
think I heard this phrase the other day. You know,
average coaches make adjustments in the offseason. Good coaches make
(26:58):
adjustments at halftime. Great just make adjustments all the time.
And that's the NFL is your people who think you
wait to have time to come in, hit the chalkboard
up or dry erase board.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
All right, boys, here's what we're gonna do. It's every
single drive.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I've been a part of game plans where that team's
coming out doing something completely different and you're like, yeah,
we're tossing this, we're doing remember like week two installed
in training camp, that's what we're gonna do. And we're
gonna do this, this, this, and this, and you're like
writing down a whole new script of plays that happens.
So it's learning all those things because in college, I
mean and and honestly, it could be as simple as
(27:35):
you know you I don't see what systems, but.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
You're a coach.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You're talking about, well, we just wanted to look towards
like where the green grasses, you know, like look towards
open space. And you're like, Okay, that's not gonna ever
help this young man if he wants to play in
the NFL, like, like, look to the open space.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Are you saying there's no open space in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
It's not just that, it's just the fact that you
don't have time to kind of just survey the field
or not have an idea of who's going to win
a route, because every throw for the most part, is
an anticipatory throw. I mean, you're throwing before the guys open.
You're throwing before the guy is where he's supposed to be,
So you better have a strong understanding of what his
route is, what is around adjustment is what the leverage is,
(28:16):
and who's open who's not based on the covers that
you're getting preasing that post that. So it's just an
entirely different game. It's why it takes a little bit
for guys to be able to understand what they're saying.
Like I tell people all the time, the way the
fields can find is different for quarterbacks. The hash are
so wide in college that you have a safety near
a HASH, it's most like it was split safety coverage.
(28:37):
If it's in the NFL, it's flipped because the HASH
is so much more narrow. So if there's a safety
near a HASH, you're thinking a little bit more post
I coverages. So it's just you're trained that way to
look at the field for you know, what checks the line, scrimmage, audibles,
you know, whatever the coverage is, this is how we're
trying to attack it. You know, you're training and thinking
all those things. So it's just it's just an adjustment.
(28:59):
But usually teams want you to sit out for your
rookie year to then learn. And I think nowadays teams
and this is just my opinion, with the way the
draft is now slotted, I think it is become easier
for a team to run through a quarterback after two years,
(29:20):
three years and play them for relatively cheap compared to
the old system when Sam Bradford got fifty million guaranteed
before you throw a pass. You know, if you go
look at the deals that are signed now, they're still
not there. They're fully guaranteed four year deals with a
fifth year option. They are still not there to that,
(29:43):
and I think they view it as and by the way,
the salary cap is, you know, this is what twelve
years ago when Bradford had his deal, and so the
salary cap has increased obviously since then, and they're still
not reaching what his deal was as a number one
overall pick, so they can run they can basically, we
throw a quarterback out there, two three is does work out?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
What was store another one in there? Let's go draft another.
That's an essence. What's happened.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Now, with the way the draft is slotted, that's gonna
be fun to see which one of these guys gets
the call first. I wonder I know they're planning on
McCarthy and Panick sitting this year, but I wonder if
if at some point one of those guys is gonna
get called into action, because.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Which one y'all think is more like? I know we're
up against it, but which one do y'all think is
more likely to start this year? McCarthy you think, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I think so too. I mean the Cousins.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Let's just the money, Yeah, I think the money says
it has to be McCarthy that gets it. Yeah, what
if Michael Pinnicks? Really what if Michael Pinnick is lighting
it up?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
If he comes in and just like sets the league
on fire in the preseason, then I wonder what that
looks like.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
That's uh, I mean, he gets guaranteed Cousins gets guaranteed money.
But that money is guaranteed, so at the end of
the day, he's on his rookie contract. I mean, it's
a it's a two year if he wins, Like, imagine
if he actually put two year dip. I put it
put him in, put him in that two year DiPT Hey,
(31:20):
you put him in there. I mean, Kurt, you got
one hell of a backup. And and listen, Kurt is
not unfamiliar to being a backup to ending.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Kurt kurk Kirk. I did just Kurt.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
I did just Kirk. Yeah, Kirk Kirk k captain Kirk. Yeah,
I did say Kurt, uh yeah, I mean he he's
not unfamiliar to being a backup to uh, a top
black quarterback.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
I just at least put me on that least put
me on that path today. I'm sorry. I mean, if
anything happens band boxes here, I just like you know,
I couldn't help but to say it.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I was right there for me. Let me just point
out the fact that it was low hanging. Levard did
also mention this during the break. There's a band aid
for everybody except white people.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
That's pretty interesting. Like, that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That is insulting.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
I mean you should feel bad, Yeah, you should con
play better.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I am right now. I'll see see Rob Parker on
it too.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Let him know, h it hit every tone except you
by the one of those band aids match.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Your skid to by the way, Two Pros and a
Cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio, and coming
