Today on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, we have boots on the ground with Brady in Paris for the Olympics. Calling Jordan Love the highest paid player in the league is a bit misleading and Tua earns his payday as well. Plus, Jordan Addison’s punishment and much more!

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, oh yeah, got no one tunnel.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, it's uh.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
I think it's me breathing, honestly, not that I'm really
thinking about.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, it's probably breathing. Well, why didn't you try to
say something? Well, how did you bring that up to you? Uh?

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Var, you're breathing too heavy into the microphone.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
We thought it was an issue. It's a complication.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
I thought it was that, but we didn't want to
point any fingers. Yeah, it's easier to blant on the wind.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
At least I know that you guys are willing to
let me walk around with a big, fat, yellow booger
in my nose, and I'll keep that in mind. I'll
make sure I check up on my own body extremities
and all that stuff when I'm out.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
With you guys.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Blood, what are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Josh should have texted me and been like, Var, the
wind tunnel means you're breathing too heavily.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I was.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I didn't know what it was. I was just hoping
that it actually was a wind tunnel. I mean, I really.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Was as opposed to a heavily panting You're just as
guilty as Q is because you put it in the promo.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Okay, but also in the background on all these.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
I'm glad it's such a slow day and sports that
you guys would choose to not tell me that I'll
breathing to lave the mike.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Can we be honest that that's you know, that's what
we're going.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
It's all about making the show better.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
And if we're going to be brutally honest about it,
and we're going to be rare breeds when.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
It comes to this.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
A lot of the topics we had on Friday, we're garbage, okay,
Like they were not very good. So it really did
make the show better. Like whatever the theme was throughout
the course of the show.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
The expense of my heavy breathing into the microphone that
made the show better.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I didn't know what it was it's worth.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I'm happy about that.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
For what it's worth, I really enjoyed it. I just
want you to know that far.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well come on, man, come on, bar come on man.
It bumps me out.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Okay, shut up the show. There is training camp, and
we know where we're Q is right.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Where's the end?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
You know? Yeah? Where am I at?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Where's Brady?

Speaker 3 (04:09):
You got boots on the ground.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
He definitely does.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, Brady, you want to we we you want to
big the big unveil.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
That's right. That's that's right, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
I am in Paris, reach on the ground here for
the twenty twenty four Olympics.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
We have stopped at no expense.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
I'm gonna thank Scott Shapiro, Don Morton, Jade Lee the
lap who's helped put this together behind the scenes. I
was flowing here by the French kiss got a sweet tooth.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
Come take a bite out of Europe's number one bakery.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
That's right, I'm talking about right there. That's right, that's
what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I mean freeze, kisses balling, get that wark.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Come on, man, war.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
So how is it a bunch of cake up in there? So?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
How is it over there right now? Is there like
act anything going on?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Like?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Can you see anything?

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Oh yeah, there's a bunch of events going on right now.
I had an opportunity to walk around a little bit earlier.
Saw the Eiffel Tower, saw the Champs de Laze, saw
a bunch of things. I'm not really sure what it was,
but it's it's quite the scene. Quite the setup. People
walked around everywhere, different events going on, people representing their countries.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
So it's a pretty cool scene.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
I've never been to the Olympics and seen anything like
this before, so to be in a foreign country and
see it, it's pretty incredible. I will admit this. It's
hard not to acknowledge the opening ceremonies. And as soon
as I got off the plane and got to do
a taxi, that was the first question the taxi driver
asked me. And given the controversy that it is created,

(05:50):
I kind of just said, you know, I didn't see
a ton of it, wasn't really sure what to make
of it. And then he started to go off, so
not to get off on that subject. However, what happened?
He well, you might have seen a guy's nutsack was
hanging out to the ceremony.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Oh that what happened?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
So that?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh, it was for sure out there.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Hey, the Olympics are here.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Get a load of that guy's cash and prizes behind
camera two.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Clearly there were some people who had an agenda, and
I'll this way.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Based on specific.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
He was very upset and he said, there's many other
people who are French who are.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Upset by that.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
Given their rich history and many of their traditions, that
they were hoping they would display something else instead of
what was displayed. So that's one man's opinion, not mine,
but our taxi driver. However, he said, there's a lot
of people who are upset with how the French culture
was portrayed during the opening ceremony.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
So not sure if we throw that on NBC.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Or who gets the blame for that, But uh, they've
moved past it.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
However, a lot of people are still talking about it.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Has that ever happened to you guys before somebody put
theirselves on display and you had to question yourself as
to whether.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
You know they knew or not.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
That's happened to me one time before, and it actually
was was. I won't I won't give too many details
because I don't you know, it's connected to you know,
a family member in my house, my oldest daughter. We
were we were at uh, we were at a volleyball
tournament and one of the spectators there.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'll leave all of that nameless, but certainly.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Was was comfortable and led cross sitting position and was
sitting across like well back across from from the tenant
of the court and yeah, it was. It's like you turn,
you turn to look at the traffic, you turn to

(08:05):
look at the kids warming up, you know, hitting the
balls ironically coincidentally hitting the balls over the net and
boom like there there it.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Was full full display. And yeah, and I don't believe
it was French, so I don't know. I was.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
I was a cookout once and there's an order and
they we actually deemed him the nickname Teddy long balls,
short shorts on sat down, as you could imagine, got
a nice look at a walnut, pair of.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
A pair of street sweepers. Huh, no, big deal. I
mean the problem is.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Those were unintentional. This felt very intentional what happened the
opening ceremonies.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And you know, to people who had an issue with it.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You know, if you've got a kid who wants to
watch the opening ceremonies, they've been hearing all about this,
it's every four years, and then you turn that on.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I can understand why people would have a problem with it.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
I was watching with my daughters.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Were you really and when it happened?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
They asked me like, well, it's hard to see that
in real time. But there are some still shots. Obviously
that where you were able to realize what was happening,
But there was so much going on that my my
two oldest girls were like that, what was that? Why
are they doing that? I was like, they're not out
of age to I like fully understand what was happening.
So not to distract from sports, but I mean it

(09:46):
was disappointing in that sense of like being a father
and trying to like explain to kids who aren't old
enough to really understand what's happening.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Dang, I'm sure glad I wasn't watching it. Hey, y'all,
look at that. Look that's that's what you call. Uh well,
I won't say what I was going to say, but
that would have probably been poor parenting.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
I would probably By the.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Way, Labar.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
By the way, Labar, if you were wondering what what
he was referring to, Lee made sure to send over
a yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Still I felt still picture with the arrow pointing down
to it.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, I felt that. I felt the buzz.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
I'm sitting here looking for the evidence of the situation
that I found myself in.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Don't worry, got you covered.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's good?

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Oh yeah, I'm glad you got Wow okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
What are we doing? Can I tell you a gripe
I have with the Olympics?

Speaker 7 (10:44):
But do you see what I commented on it, which
was what, well, it's actually a Coop's comment that it's
a ripping the leggings to Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
And he didn't know what was going on.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Oh yeah, Coop, Yeah, you just didn't fill that flame
out there?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
How about okay, good call Coop.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Well this isn't Anny Kravitz. All right, he's not he's
not going, he's not going. Are you going to go
my way? And then all of a sudden, his uh,
his leather pants split on stage and he's got a
gas pump hanging out.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
You had to know that that that was. You had
to know, you.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Know, it was intentional like that.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
You don't make it, Coop.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Come on, yeah, come on, enough's enough crap, Coop, You
knock it off.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Coop.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Hey, Coop, you're nuts, all right, absolutely nuts.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I promise you. That's not what it is.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
What's in the bag?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Cap?

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh so you think those are prop nuts though they're
not nuts at all.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
It's his leg.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 8 (11:43):
No, it looks like his nuts is are hanging out.
But it's just he's wearing like these.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I know, I know what this looks like.

Speaker 8 (11:52):
He's wearing leggings and there's like a tear in the
leggings so the rest of his leg is darker, and
then the tear is the actual skin.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Took closer? Can you get closer to actually take a look? Yeah,
get closer, Cooper, Get a little closer, Coop.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Coop there, tie his shoes for him and look up
and see what and.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
And tell us that those aren't what we're saying they are.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Like it's not a skin tag like that, like those
like you know, that's his goods that are hanging out
like they're not.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
But okay, it's funnier.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
All right, Coop, tell us why you think that it's not? Like?
Tell us again? Tell us again?

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Visual evidence, my eyeballs, What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Like?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Who has who has a leg like that?

Speaker 5 (12:35):
You were classes, don't you? Yes, yeah, I've seen those things.
They look like bifocals. Is that they take them off?
Take them off and look again, take them I'm.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Just saying, somebody bag me up because look at the picture.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Where's the you might have like twenty sixty vision, I
don't know you're the best person to who tell us
what you see out there?

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Well, the fact that if he was wearing leggings, there's
no way those could be hanging out of Let's just
say they're not letting.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
They're tights.

Speaker 8 (13:01):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Those are tights which can easily get a hole, and
they do compress the rest of your thighs, so you
would get a bulge kind of coming out like that
guy does. Yes, But I do think it's thymey. I
think it's thymey.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
This is our bulge looking expert.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Tang, I'm just saying we're not looking for it.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
So Tang, I.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Mean, damn, well, look, can I tell you a legitimate
gripe I have with the Olympics. So, and I don't
know what events are live in real time, Like the
delay is throwing me off, I swear to God. And

(13:43):
the way that it's mapped out on television, like if
you want to find information about it, like I really
don't know if I'm watching an actual live event or
if I'm not.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Which makes it really and this is.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
The unfortunate part of all of this, which makes it
really difficult to gamble on because I would love to
gamble on this stuff. I would love to have the opportunity.
I don't know what the hell is going on and
whether or not it's happening in real time. That's a problem.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
I've got a buddy who's got a very similar issue
with that. That being said, he did bet on the
men's Olympic team in basketball, and I will point out
the fact that yes, they beat Serbia.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
However, that being said.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
When Nikola Jokic was on the floor with basically a
bunch of future security guards and been bouncers, they were
even with the Olympic t When he was off the floor,
it was.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Like negative twenty six or whatever. It was so.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Quite the showing for Nicola Jokic, the two time MVP,
at least of late within the NBA, showcasing on a
world stage just how good he is against the best
in the NBA.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
That was pretty cool to watch.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
But I'm glad USA won.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
It is funny because it does get buried behind.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Well, the Celtics won the title, O Bronnie James controversy,
all the other fun stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, leg meat. Oh and by the way, by the way,
Joker still.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
The best player on the planet and here's your evidence
of that on the biggest stage. So, uh, listen, we
will get a covered. But that is a major controversial
moment here on this show.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Apparently, Wait, don't sleep on South Sudan.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
Remember how we we were mocking the men's basketball team
for that that close victory over South Sudan. Yeah, they
actually got their first win in men's basketball history.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
So kind of cool. That squad looks like they actually
might be decent. So maybe an indication of things that
come in the future. Are they tall? Yes, they are,
and they they're very athletic, LeVar, very athletic. You know what.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
It reminds me of a movie I once saw called
Air Up There.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Oh good thing is that the uniform? Movie? Was that
Kevin that's Kevin Big? Is it the same uniform?

Speaker 6 (16:01):
I don't think so everybody can stop.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Not sure to refer to Johnson.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'll just remember the movie.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
I was just curious, if let's just say, utiful.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Them South Sudan players are tall, Johnson, they are tall.
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here

In case you missed it. Coming up later this hour.
We're also gonna have an FSR i R hour two
of the program and we close up shop with you
one of you out. It's all yours here on this
three hour extravaganza. But somebody in the NFL finally got

(16:38):
what they were looking for.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
We'll get into the details on that here on FSR.

Speaker 9 (16:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Hey I'm Doug.

Speaker 10 (17:00):
The podcast is called All Ball. We usually talk all
basketball all the time, but it's more about the stories
about what made these people love their sport and all
the interesting interactions along the way. We talked to coaches,
we talked to players, We tell you stories. You download it,
you listen to it. I think you'll like it. Listen

(17:20):
to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
It is Two Pros and a Cup of Joe Fox
Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you
coming up in about twenty minutes from now from the
tire rack dot Com studios. Somebody in the NFL could
be in trouble. We're talking big trouble. We'll tell you
why again twenty minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
But how big is the trouble?

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Uh? I mean probably significant? Yeah, for good reason, you know. Yeah,
so not a not a great idea, not very smart,
but you know, we'll get into that about twenty minutes
from now. But we do know is that it was
smart for the Green Bay Packers to groom Jordan Love
because he got paid. He got paid, He's one year

(18:12):
as a starter, and he got a big fat contract
from the Green Bay Packers. The GM of the Packers,
Brian Gudokun, spoke over the weekend about the decision to
sign Jordan Love to the deal, knowing what it would
do to the cap, but knowing they couldn't live without
having him.

Speaker 11 (18:31):
Whenever you have these big contracts, there's there's some challenges
that we've dealt with that pretty much, you know, for
the past I don't know how many, however many years,
So that's part of it. But I would rather be
dealing with this challenge and some others. So you know,
that's that'll be part of it. It'll be important that
we continue to draft well and make good decisions along
the way. But you know, having that position stable and
a guy who we know can perform at a high level,

(18:51):
I'll take that every day.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
So that was that was a shot fired to me.
What do you mean that sounded like a shot fired
to me? You know, that could have been like a
little bit of you know, I may change my, uh
my assessment of the New York Jets because they just
gave Aaron Rodgers all the ammunition he needed to have

(19:14):
an MVP, all the motivation.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
He said, I'd rather deal with this problem than others.
Gotta catch that.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, I mean, it's heard it. Yeah, I mean, let's.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Be clear here.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Well, let's let's let's break this down a little further
as we can.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Come on, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Johnson, Well, I mean, if we're gonna do that, I
mean I do think it is appropriate.

Speaker 9 (19:34):
He and now for more on this, two pros and
a cup of joke. NFL contract analysts bring tea quick.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
All right, folks, let's break down the Jordan Love contract.
It's a four year, two order and twenty million dollars extension. Now,
remember he had a year left on his deal, So
not only is it build as a four year, two
twenty million dollar contract, he's got a few voidable years attached.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
On the end of this. Why is that important?

Speaker 5 (20:09):
But he's got a significant signing bonus, a seventy five
million dollars signing bonus, which is the biggest in NFL history.
So that is record breaking in that regard. And if
you read a lot of the reports, you'll hear that
new Money average, that average annual value is fifty five
million per year. It also is the highest. But those
are metrics that I don't really look at. I look
at total guaranteed and signing bonus. The one hundred and

(20:31):
sixty million total guaranteed that is or I should say,
short of obviously to Shaun Watson's contract, but even to
a tongue of my Loa who signed earlier that day
with the Miami Dolphins for one hundred and sixty seven
million total guaranteed. So again everyone pumps up these contracts.
This is this is a great contract really for Jordan

(20:52):
Love but also team and for this reason, Jordan Love's
cap hit this season is only twenty about point eight
million dollars, and even if as you look into twenty
twenty five, the cap hit is below thirty million dollars,
that's reasonable. That allows the team to still be able
to work out around it and put pieces around him.

(21:13):
Under the salary cap, it really doesn't get big until
year four, which at that point in time they've got
a really good idea of what Jordan Love is and
what he's not as this contract is heavily backloaded. So
that being the case, I think the Green Bay Packers
essentially said, look, we're gonna give you a big signing bonus,
we believe in you, but in two or three years,

(21:33):
we're not gonna be crippled by this. And in two
or three years, if you're the quarterback we think you are,
we're probably gonna be looking at another extension and we're
gonna have to reconfigure our cap then. Anyway, So good
deal for Jordan Love, good deal for the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 6 (21:47):
I will say this, it's a bit risky really.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
If you go back to the one year he started
up until week eleven of last year, he didn't look great.
It was week eleven onward, even into the playoffs, obviously,
as we saw the beatdown on Dallas where Jordan Love
turned it on through the regular season the one playoff game.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
However, that being said.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Brian gouten Kost has gone through this before the general manager.
He was there when they did the transition from Brett
Farvad Aaron Rodgers, and he's now the guy in charge
of the transition from Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love, and
so he's seen this before, as has Mark Murphy, their
president and CEO. But as LaVar pointed out, there is
a lot you could make about the fact that what

(22:26):
Brian gouten Coust had said and the fact that you know,
they get this deal done with Jordan Love breaking some
records for a quarterback that obviously hasn't accomplished as much
as Aaron Rodgers did during his time there.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Boom boom, Yeah, that's how you break it down.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
By the way, I must have had that corn bread
from that bakery, shouts out to the kiss Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Right, dag, so when he did.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I do also feel like when these contracts come up,
I was thinking about this over the weekend, like it's
always a debate like this so and so deserved the contract,
did they deserve to get paid? And we can you know,
break down and get to the details of the TUO
of contract as well too. But more often than not,
almost always they end up getting.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
The deal done.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Like the idea that they weren't just you know, oh,
he's going to sit out longer, maybe they won't get
this done.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Like who's the exception to the rule?

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Kirk Cousins in Washington years ago, like to where they
just franchised him a couple of times, but like, if
you have a guy as Goodokunz pointed out, like I'd
rather deal with cap issues knowing I have a guy
than not have somebody and try and work around that.
And so, I like, the only other time I could
think that it didn't happen was kirk Cousins. Other than that,
I can't think of another exact.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
If you go back to kirk Cousins, the dollar amounts
for signing, bonus and total guarantees weren't quite there yet
where you know, I think he looked at it and said,
and as we know based on what he did afterwards
with the Vikings, I mean he got a three year
fully guaranteed deal.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
That might have been something that he was asking for
Washington at the time.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
That they just weren't willing to do, and he was
able to find it once he became a free agent,
and the money's escalated heavily since then.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
I mean, look at his contract now.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
I mean, coming off an injury with a new team,
he gets a hundred million total guaranteed at signing, So
you know that was one of the biggest differences then too.
I still look at this deal and I go back
and even as good as it is, I still harken
back to the fact that they could have gotten more
if they felt this good about Jordan Love after just

(24:34):
one season. Remember, before last year, he signed an extension
that gave the team all sorts of control. Otherwise Jordan
Love would have been staring at quite possibly one of
the biggest contracts we've ever seen. And this is being
billed as that, But if you really take into account
what he's going to be getting paid this year, along

(24:54):
with the four years they tacked on on top of that,
it doesn't come out to the fifty five million average
annual value that's the new money average. So my whole
point is is everyone's gonna be crediting athletes first and
Andrew Kessler and David Moulagetta. However, they really could have
had a bigger contract had they rolled the dice and
done something similar to Kirk Cousins and not agreed to
an extension last year, and then we could be talking

(25:16):
about something truly and legitimately record breaking.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Dang.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
I certainly was going to bring up the agency too,
and I ask you your opinion on the fact that
the two biggest contracts that were just done was done
by that same agency that you just just named off.
But yeah, I mean, it looks like he's in perfect
position for as you mentioned, if he plays at a

(25:44):
high level, if he's playing the way they expect him
to play, that the restructuring, the kind of the moving
more backloaded money up and kind of doing it that
way seems like that's where it's going to go. And

(26:04):
my estimation, which at the end of the day, he's
getting a lot of guaranteed money right away. I mean,
good for him on on striking striking that deal. You
know at this point could have got more, maybe didn't
get more. I mean, these numbers are I keep asking myself,

(26:30):
when is when is it going to be like, we
can't go any higher.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Never just gets hired and higher.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
I just don't.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
It's kind of mind boggling to me that they're able
to continue to go up to these these numbers that
they're hitting.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I remember when people were man of the Bengals really
given Andy Dalton seventeen million a year, like I can.
I can remember that conversation. And yeah it was a
while back, but it wasn't that far back. And he's
getting fifty five a year. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
I gotta feed my kids, man, you know, I gotta
get groceries.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, it's uh, it's pretty wild to think where the contract.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
What's wild is to a tongue of by Loa has
already made thirty some million in his career. After the
end of this contract, he would made two hundred and
sixty five million dollars.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
Think about that. And this is no disrespect to Tua.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
You know, people don't understand, you know, if you compared
him and Jordan Love, Tua's got a body of work.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
He's proved improved every.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Single season, and he's been through adversity, I mean early
now with Brian Flores in the way he would get
taken out of the game and benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Speaker 6 (27:53):
You know, he's overcome all of that and really flourished.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
And you could point to Tyreek Hill, who not only
one sidebar should be up for an extension at some point,
but two. The impact he's had since Tyreek Hill has
gotten there, it's beside the point.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
I mean, Mike McDaniel went to bat for two.

Speaker 6 (28:08):
He believes into it, and that's a big piece of it.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
But he's also got a lot of film and tape
to showcase and say this is why I feel good
about it. You know, Jordan Love really again has last
season week eleven onwards, and so there's no guarantee that
this is going to work out well for Green Bay
like it did when they did this with Aaron Rodgers
during his first year of starting experience. So there's still
a lot of time love to see how these things

(28:32):
play themselves out. What I find most interesting about this
with two, and we still haven't seen the details of
all the contract, is the litany of injuries he had
coming into the league and even early on when he
was you know, getting banged up in.

Speaker 6 (28:45):
The concussion issue. Is you look at the total guarantees.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
I mean, I want to see the fine print to
see if they've protected themselves for that potential. But I
will say this, and I don't know if you have
time for this or not. The way he was introduced
to the crowd the day after signing camp was a
bit cringe.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
I mean, the show me the money crap, like not cringe.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
I like to use the latest, the latest, the latest
slangs to ex.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
It was cringe.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
It was, and honestly, that should void the contract.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
It was so bad.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Like if I were the Dolphins, I'd be like, all right,
you know, like who else we got? Who is that
quarterback that started a playoff game for them two years ago?
That was like it was a Skyler Thompson, Like I
would I would give half of that to Skyler Thompson
and say, hey, listen, after what he just pulled at practice,
we're done here, like way way too much. And then
he said some coach or some assistant told him to

(29:47):
do it. Whoever told you to do it, they should
be fired. That was awful and disgusting and I was
not even aware of it until Brady sent it over,
and uh, just embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
But you know, he's good to go, though, Miami's got
their guy.

Speaker 1 (30:03):

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Lead Lap.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Good morning and everybody.

Speaker 7 (31:45):
Good morning, Jonas, Good morning, LeVar, Good morning, Brady, good morning,
Good morning.

Speaker 8 (31:50):
Hey guys.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
In case you missed this, we've talked about.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
Hey LeVar, in case you've missed this, we've all talked
about it, Hey Brady. Two weeks ago, Jordan Addison wide
receiver for the Vikings. Yeah, well no, actually he was driving,
not at all. He was parked on the freeway, rested
for a suspension of duy outside of Lax.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
You know, I mean, if you're gonna take a I mean,
if you're come on, I mean, if you're camp you're
going to take a nap, why not do it on
the freeway after you've had a couple of throat burners.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Makes sense.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
Yeah, Well that was his second driving related violation in
the last two last year. Well, according to a report
from Charlie Walters of the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, this
will likely result in a three game suspension for that
duy one hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars fine at
the very least, and he suspects that this might be
his last year with the Vikings.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Wow, somebody's going to get a steal if the kid
and keep himself out of trouble.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
I was just gonna say he's a hell of a
player and and kind of their insurance pauls in the
event that Justin Jefferson didn't sign his extension, but he did,
so you know he's gonna be there for the rest
of his career at least it appears that way unless
something else happens.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
So that's surprising.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
As loaded as wide receiver draft class are nowadays, do
you think the Vikings look at it and go listen,
We've established we can draft wide receivers here, Like if
this guy is gonna you know, play bumper cars because
he can't put the bottle down, like we're not gonna
mess around. We'll just go find somebody else in the draft.
I wonder if that's part of the I guess.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
I mean, the problem is they really don't have a
number two outside of Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I mean, you do have TJ.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
Hockinson, even though he's on the pup right now, and.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
Josh Oliver, who's a very capable tight end catching the football.
Now Aaron Jones out of the backfield, but I mean
the way I look at him, man, it'd be nice
if you could figure out a way of getting things
turned around.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
That's for sure.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
What else we got, lee, guys.

Speaker 7 (34:02):
Another story we've been monitoring is the Parisian poop water
forcing the Olympics to cancel open water swim practice over
the bacteria in the sin. If you remember they did
have they did kind of get it to levels where
uh Parisian officials uh went ahead dove into the water
as a promotional.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
Hey, they want me to stop you there? They ain't
swimming in it, buddy.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
All right?

Speaker 7 (34:24):
Yeah, because the rain is the rain is picked up again,
which of course raises.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
The forget the rain, it's beautiful, sonny, You have no
idea what you're talking about. That water would take such
a monumental transformation in the time they need to get
this to happen. It ain't happen if you walk by
it and look at it. I don't know why you
think you do want to swim in that anyway?

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Tang geez. Hey, sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Lee.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
I think I'm sorry. No, I think you're doing a
great job.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
It's secret knives doo doo swimming.

Speaker 6 (34:51):
Damn Hey Lee, Lee, Yes, take that pal.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
Oh wow, that's for taking my radio?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh you want that radio?

Speaker 3 (35:02):
I do. I know you took it.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
I already heard from an insight source one Jonas knocks
that you took it.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Are we I mean, are we allowed to take those?
I would like to take him?

Speaker 6 (35:15):
I mean, yeah, I guess what, Lee took it. We
should give to time there are you gave?

Speaker 2 (35:21):
You gave Brady's rapid radio to talk to.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time he's taken some
of our personal property and allow.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
To to use it. I'll tell you that.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Hey, I don't want I don't want that back to
and like some like put together wrapping that you did
after the fact, shoving it back in the box.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
I'm so sorry, guys, I just I didn't know what
I was thinking at that moment, you know, exactly.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
He needed a mic cover, so I used yours. You know,
he needed a walkie talking. He needed to be able
to communicate with me on delivery. What Tuesdays, Wednesday, Wednesdays. Yeah,
so he has his and yeah and Todd has heads.
So now him and Todd can use the Milwaukee Talkies
there you go.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, they come in a nice, nice protection bag too,
by the way, ship from Michigan. So make sure you go,
you know, put radio in so you could get your
sixty percent discount.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
You know, love rapid radio.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
You got yours, all right?

Speaker 7 (36:17):
Yeah, so then talk talk joining on the group radio,
all right.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Guys, real quick.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
Don Staley, South Carolina head coach had an interview with
Mike Cherico addressed the fact that Caitlyn Clark was left
off the team USA.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Take a listen.

Speaker 12 (36:34):
As a committee member, you're you're charged with putting together
best team of players, the best talent. Caitlyn is just
a rookie in the WNBA. Wasn't playing bad, but wasn't playing.

Speaker 6 (36:45):
Like she's playing now.

Speaker 12 (36:46):
If we had to do it all over again. The
way that she's playing, she would be in really high
consideration of making the team because she is playing a
head and showed us above a lot of people shooting
the ball extremely well. I mean, she is an elite.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Asked her.

Speaker 12 (37:00):
She's just got a great basketball IQ and she's a
little more seasoned in the.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
In the pro game in a couple of months.

Speaker 12 (37:07):
Yeah, in a couple of months, and she was two
months ago.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
I like her. I like her.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Her reasoning sound, it sounds reasoning.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
It's fine, it's an excuse they should have waited longer
to pick the team. And on top of that, she's
an alternate anyway. I mean, let's just be real about this.
You know, did you not think she was going to
continue to develop? You could maybe make the same case
for Angelies too, being a part of it.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yeah, yeah, sure.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
I don't know. I haven't seen one single highlight of
the w NBA, so I wouldn't know. Dang, tell me
what's going on.
