Speaker 1 (00:00):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up on
this Wednesday edition, We're gonna have the usuals. We've got
our midweek Awards, the old p Petris Papadakis will stop by,
and we've got you any you out. We're also going
to talk about the Olympics, the coverage, the conversation, very weird,
very bizarre. What's not weird is the fact that DJ
(00:21):
Moore got paid and how that applies to C D Lamb,
Jamar Chase and some others that are looking for new
contracts in the NFL. We're also going to have a
discussion about two quarterbacks that apparently well they're just you're
not going to see him anytime soon in the preseason.
And we're going to talk about another player in the
NFL who might be better served getting out of his
current situation. All of that is yours coming up next here,
(00:43):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe on a Wednesday,
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Give this.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Going from FO Time fotball, Boom Bom Bom Bom, j Jonas,
jon Joan Jonas.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That work first of all, can we a little behind
the scenes here. I think you've started to open your
arms to this song a little bit now that you've
seen that Michael Jordan's a fan of this song as
well too.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's not true that as much as I love Michael
Jordan and and I fall on his side of the
goat debate, it still was not enough to sway me.
And his also or lorengue or whatever it was he
thought he was doing, was not it.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So the I'm out, there's some video on Instagram, some
reels or something where I think it's like a resort
or a restaurant or something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Was it? Was it Mexico? I think so because of
the music.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well no, because I think it's a place that he frequents.
And if I'm not mistaken, I think his wife is Hispanic,
so I guess they go there all the time. And
so there's this video that LeVar found where Michael Jordan
is tore up from the floor up good.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh yeah, he's starting to gain a little weight. Oh yeah,
he's getting his grown man body nowadays.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
He's got a he's got a cigar in his.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Hand, and he's dancing.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
He's dancing with his lady and there's a band doing
a cover version of this song, and I was like, oh, hey,
that's a song that opens the show. And so now
that it I was like, no, it's not then you
lit'st do it? You go, that's a little Silia Cruz
for you. But it wasn't her who was performing it. Nonetheless,
we were often running here on a Wednesday, two pros
(02:50):
and a cup of Joe Here on Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington Jonas knocks with the hair. No, Brady Quinn,
that damn pe deviolation again. I don't know what to
tell you, just he pissed hot.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
How many of those can you get?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We're a pretty forgiving show, you know. So that's the
he is traveling back. He is traveling back from Paris
where he was out there in support of his wife
who was helping out with the US Olympic team, and
uh so you know.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Conor, Fortunately he wouldn't do it from the wind tunnel
like I did the other day.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yes, you know what do you guys? By the way,
what is going to be able to figure out the
technology to be able to do the show while flying
on a plane.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I mean it seems like it would make sense to try.
I'll tell you that as much as we I'm flying.
I'm flying out literally right after the show, like out
of here.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Well you think you're going, You ain't got.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Sit around here like your fat and daddy are telling
yet we done.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Boy, don't get smart with me.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
She's got plastic wrapped around the furniture in the living room.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I got things.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Things all.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Do you think that kid is there telling his mom
he's got things to do, like seven or eight? Like
if I told my mom at seven or eight years old,
like they didn't boys in the hood, I got things
to do, my mom would have taken a frying pand
in my face like I got things to do. But yeah, listen,
Radio'll be back tomorrow. LeVar is flying out. Where are
(04:35):
you going to?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
You going back to state college?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Damn stay college? Yes, sir, got to make sure everything
is right man. You know we're going to do the
graduate there this year, so you know, we gotta just
gotta make sure, you know, handling everything, making sure everything
is coeesthetic. Are you going to do now, LeVar Islan,
(04:57):
I'm working on a line, man, We're working on it.
You know. It's a bunch of your call set up.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
We tell you it's a bunch of crap. One of
the biggest lies ever told on this show is Brady
trying to claim that he came up with the name
LeVar Island that was my creation.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, I mean, listen, I support both of you. So
if you know whoever did it, I don't technically remember
who did it at what moment I don't. But if
you say so, I mean, you've never been one to,
you know, fabricate the truth. That's all I mean. I
(05:35):
about what you're saying about it, I just you know,
I would just say that I do know Q well
enough at this point now to also say that if
Q believes he said it, he's not lying either. He
believes he said it. So yeah, the truth is somewhere
there and it is what it is. But nonetheless, it
(05:59):
happened on this show, which is what's most important that
you know, the creation of it, so when it comes
to life, you know it'll be something that you know,
we can all be be happy about.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
By the way, I heard create, Like, there's a lot
of celebrity tequilas and like vodkas and stuff that we've
talked about on the show before. I've heard that's like,
that's a tough go at times.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
That is fun?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Is it? Like try like I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Like bottling it and like trying to piece it all together.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
My thing market Now, I'll lead that to the experts. Yeah,
you know, and if we get to a point of
where it turns into something, then I'll let you know.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Well I do know this.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We are broadcasting here live from the tire rack dot
Com studios.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Tire rack dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
We'll help you get there an unmatched election, fast free shipping,
free road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Ti rac dot com the way tire buying should be.
So this is disappointing, all right. The Hall of Fame game,
which which is the first game of the NFL season.
Everyone's gonna say, what are you talking about? Chiefs, Ravens,
(07:05):
none of us stop, all right, And I don't want
to hear a damn thing about the Brazil game either. Okay,
the Hall of Fame game is the first game of
the NFL season, and the Hall of Fame Game.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Is tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's already here, Bears Texans in Canton, Ohio, first football
game of the year, and apparently it's not really going
to look like a real football game because according to
Matt Eberflus, the head coach of the Chicago Bears, he's
made a decision on who's going to be a part
of it.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
So big news for today, starters are not playing in
the Hall.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Of Fame game.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
We feel really good where they are right now in
terms of the pads practices we had. We've had three
so far and then have another one tomorrow and have
a lot of good work with ones on ones, twos
on twos, and a lot of good situations. You know,
we've got a head start there because we are in
the Hall of Fame game, which I think is very
fortunate for us this year to be able to add
those reps you know, time on task, as we say
(08:03):
to our football team.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So we're super excited about that.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Cam said that he believes he's exactly where you guys wanting.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I do you agree with that? And what progress has
he continued to make over last.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
I would agree with that. He's really made some big
strides here. I mean we're talking about a massive amount
of reps and to me, he's really starting to pick
up his leadership too, you know, because now he feels
comfortable in the offense. You can see him really starting
to help coach other guys, encourage other guys, bring guys together,
which he's done in the past, and that's a good
sign too.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Okay, so if everything's going well, why not we Why
don't we take this thing out of the garage for
a spin tomorrow night and let's see it play?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Like, what do we? Why not play him?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And I get it start like, a starting quarterback hasn't
played in the Hall of Fame game since twenty fifteen,
But what's the difference in the risk of playing in
this preseason game as opposed to the next one.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That's the part that's confusing to me.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I think there's the sensible side of approaching these things,
and then there's the entertainment side of approaching these things. Right, So,
at the end of the day, whether people are aware
of this or not, I'm gonna let people in on
a little secret. Football is a part of entertainment. It's
(09:23):
reality television at its finance. People may not really know that,
may not categorize sport that way, but that's what it is.
It's a production. It's a show with real life characters
that go out there and entertain of viewing audience to
(09:46):
say that you're going to do you know, let's just
say a show where Bob Barker has been the host
of that show for you know, forever, or Pat say
Jack or alex Alec Trebek, you know, all of these
(10:07):
these amazing hosts of shows and say, you know what,
this is the first show of the season, We're gonna
use a backup. You know, their reps have been amazing,
They're right where we need them to be. You know what,
Vana White is in mid season form and turning those
(10:27):
those you know letters around and hitting those letters. We're
just gonna we're gonna put the backups in and let
them do the show. From the entertainment standpoint, that makes
absolutely no sense, because this is the first game and
it's the only game that's that's airing, So to put
(10:50):
him in for a series does not hurt anything at all. Now,
on the sensible side of it, to put them in
for one series doesn't make or break what they have
going on. So from the coach's standpoint, if he doesn't
(11:12):
want to risk any of his starters, you know, sustaining
any type of injury, because he said all starters. He
didn't say just Caleb Williams. He said all starters, which
means that he just does not want to risk any
unnecessary injuries. I get it, I really do. When I
(11:32):
played in a Hall of Fame game and we played
literally one or two series and we were done, and
then the rest of the guys, you know, went in
there and they were auditioning for their job or putting
film together for what would possibly be the next team
that would you know, possibly use that film and say
(11:53):
we want to, you know, we want to give this
guy a chance on our team. That's generally what preseason is.
Four is for the three or four guys that are
trying to make the roster make the team. It might
be the number might be higher from time to time,
but generally it's not a very high number of guys
(12:15):
that are on a roster that are playing on second
and third even fourteen, they're not going to be there.
So this is really an opportunity for those guys to
get impactful reps. But now that's the sensible side, that's
the business side of it from the football side, and
(12:36):
I don't see there being an issue with that, Jonas.
But with that being said, It goes back to the
reality television show, right, it goes back to the production
show of it. You have the number one overall pick.
He's got a lot of attention on him, doing a
lot of interviews, a lot of people are paying attention,
(12:59):
a lot of people want to know what he looks
like as a pro. And you don't want to give
him a smidge, you don't you don't want to give
him that as they would say, you don't want to
give him that that sample, you know, like you saw
how they gave him the sample of that blue magic.
They came back. You know, I just I think it's,
(13:22):
if I'm being honest, he's not going to play enough
reps where you're going to be able to say, oh
my gosh, like he's the next Montana, Right, this is
not going to happen. So there's that, But to not
put him in at all, and he's a rookie, I
(13:45):
don't know, and it's I don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's almost like the this is just the status quo.
This is the way that it's gone, because you know,
if Teddy Bridgewater was the last guy at to starting
quarterback to play in a Hall of Fame game in
twenty fifteen. I look at it, and some of the
I've seen behind it is well, you haven't had enough
practices to just be thrown in there in an actual game.
And I'm thinking, well, neither is Houston. Like they're in
(14:10):
the same spot too, so it's not like you know,
they've gotten it. They've been playing for weeks and weeks
and weeks, and then the Bears just showed up ten
days ago with you know, a few padded practices and
they're going to be thrown out there. I just I
look at it. Look, it's not the biggest deal in
the world. It's not a big deal at all, probably,
but I look at it and I go, I just
don't know where you pick and choose what's risky and
(14:33):
what's not when it comes to the preseason, Like it's
just like a preseason game is a preseason game. Like
Rex Ryan putting Mark Sanchez in the fourth preseason game
to where he gets hurt, which led to Brady Quinn
actually getting signed by the Jets that year. That's just reckless.
Like I don't understand why Rex Ryan had his starting
quarterback in the fourth preseason game and scrambling to boot
(14:55):
where he got annihilated and knocked out for the year.
Like I get all that, but this one, I'm like, good,
it's a Hall of Fame game, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Let's you know, you want, man.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You want to laugh at something. I think that happened
to Cordel Stewart in a preseason game with US, really
and I laced his ass up. I put him in
a body bag. Bro damn yeah, laced him up. It
was It was like a.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Naked Hey Lee, can we look that up? Google search?
LeVar Arrington lacing up Cordel Stewart. Just do it, just
that exact search or if you want to like, go
go more detailed, go LaVar Arrington puts Cordel Stewart in
a body bag to try.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
To look up what year? Maybe two thousand three? When
did Tommy matt expect play, because that was that's what
led Was it two thousand and one? Was it that long?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Tommy Maddox was a little bit later than that.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I think it was because Ben Roethlisberger got well, no,
you're right, probably two thousand and one, two thousand and two.
It was right after the XFL because Tommy Maddocks had
that XFL year where he was the MVP and then
the Steelers signed him. So yeah, you're probably right around
two thousand and one, two thousand and two, because Ben
Ben got drafted two thousand and three, and that's when
he started as a rookie, because Tommy Maddocks got hurt.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Tommy Maddox ended up coming in and playing because Cordell
was never the same after I hit him, never was
the same, So I don't I'm looking at their schedule,
laced bro bro. He thought he had the juice, you know,
(16:39):
and it wasn't worth the squeeze.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
That was it a Hall of Fame game?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, it was a preseason game, though I do recall
it being a I'm looking at two thousand ones. It
doesn't have in this one. It doesn't have the preseason games.
But yeah, it doesn't have the pre season game. Lee's efforting, Okay,
I was looking for, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
August eighteenth, two thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
It wasn't two thousand and one, two thousand and one.
It wasn't one because we're not on there.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Okay, yeah, well we will.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It might have been like two thousand and two or
two thousand and three. It feels like it would have
been two thousand and two. Two thousand and three. But
he tried. He tried a naked bootleg and I believe
it was a preseason game, and man it was. It
was bad. It went bad.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
By the way, we should also mention congratulations are in
order for DJ Moore.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, he got Bears, He got paid.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He got a four year extension with the Bears for
one hundred and ten million dollars. That's twenty seven point
five a year, eighty two point six million dollars guaranteed.
So obviously not you know, you know, near the Justin
Jefferson or surpassing Justin Jefferson. But it's all as you know,
somebody that was a part of that deal that ended
(18:03):
up turning into the number one pick, which ended up
turning into Caleb Williams, which meant Bryce Young went to Carolina.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
DJ Moore was sort of added in.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Had career years last year in Chicago and ended up
getting paid afterwards. And from all accounts, great guy, great teammate,
never bitches and complaints, just one of those sort of
quiet wide receivers. It just goes and does his work.
And now he was going to get an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I would love like he did an interview and I
want to say it was with the pivot, but man,
he said some pretty interesting things and it made me wonder.
And it was about the Carolina Panthers. You know, there
were like four dudes. Two of them went over a
thousand yards receiving, two of them went over a thousand
(18:50):
yards all purpose. Cimac was out injured, didn't even play,
and he felt like the team was going in the
right direction and they blew it up.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, look at Brian Burns, Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore. I
don't know about you, but like those like that's that's
like a lot of talent that you had, you drafted,
was in the building and they just decided, now we're
better off going another direction.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah, I just I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It may it may you know, Matt Rule escapegoat of it. Yeah,
you know, I don't know. It's rough, seems strange.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe. Here

LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with the air coming up in

minutes from now in another edition of In case you
(21:08):
missed it. So we're on right now on one oh
four five The Zone in Nashville. It's one of our
fine Fox Sports radio affiliates, and did a little bit
of a dust up on air yesterday where Jeffrey Simmons,
the star defensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans, apparently was
(21:31):
upset with Buck Rising, who's a local host there in Nashville,
does a good job there late mornings into the early
afternoons from ten to one, and apparently did not like
maybe some of the comments that Buck had made about
him and you know, maybe some penalties or rough housing
at practice or whatnot. And so while on the air,
(21:53):
Jeffrey Simmons walked by where they were broadcasting from Titans
training camp and it's had a little it like this.
Speaker 10 (22:01):

He didn't seem bother by Jeffrey Simmons. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Oh, let me.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Look this fellow up, because he definitely was very uh comfortable.
He was totally comfortable with all right. He looks like
one of them type guys. Uh so, uh you know
one of his one of his pictures, he he you know,
(23:19):
he's got a cigar in his hand, and I mean
he looks like one of them guys, so you know,
he got one of them. Tate looks to him one
of those you know, the dude, the dude that beyond
social media, the dude that got arrested overseas and stuff
like that guy Andrew he kind of has that.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Tate that that well, Andrew Tate was handle that later.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Andrew Tate was a either a kickboxer or a muay
Thai fighter.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, he trained, he does that stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But this this this joker has that type of look.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Too good for you, buck, you're trying to do a
broad that's a professional broadcaster there, part of the Fox
Sports radio family.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Good for you the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
He looks unbothered. And this picture that I just found
of it seems to work for him. It works out
for him.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Yeah, does it hold on?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
It is?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
It is great though that for those of you wondering
what the bleeped out word was starts with a P
and yes and ain't pretty No, definitely is it? H
It's that it's that word that that is used quite
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Man? Damn?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I'm just say he ain't No, he ain't, he ain't
a scrub.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I'll tell you, oh bad, I just I do like
I do like the fact that you know you're doing
a broadcast and you know, an NFL player walks by
and calls you the P word to ice while on
the air, like it just with no.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Regard for hey, we're on the air right now.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I remember doing a live remote at we were at
Tory Pines in La Joya, and we were with Jay Moore.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
And Jaymore's on the air and David.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Wells walks by and he was already like half in
the bag and he was like, you know, walking around
the course because he might have been he was going
to play around or whatever, but you know, the open
was happening that weekend, and just had no thought to, oh,
you guys are on the air right now, it's a
live broadcast. And was just dropping every F bomb you
could pop, like we ran out of dump buttons, like
(25:36):
there was nothing we could do, like totally held hostage
by day and it wasn't like a combative exchange or anything.
He was just saying hello, and he was having a
couple of cocktails. And Jeffrey Simmons sees a broadcast going
on and she's like you know what, I'll drop the
P word twice and see how that goes over the air.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
That's a big dude, man, It's huge. Jeffrey Simmons is
a big dude. But but but homeboy must have just
felt like he was safe, like buck right, what is
it rising?
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I'm rising?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yes, he must have just felt like, you know, there's
no you know, like you saying we're going to handle
this later, like the way that he said he said
it in a way like like how what exactly are
you insinuating how you're going to handle it? Like I
don't think he meant it at all. Of course physically
(26:24):
I don't think he managed it that way, but the
kind of just like the way he did it, there
was not an ounce of I'm scared or nervous or
whatever it could be, like are you I don't know, man.
I just feel like if you have a dude as
(26:46):
big as as Jeffrey rolling up on you like that,
feeling the way that he's feeling, I wouldn't be so
dismissive like I'm on I'm on air, I'm on radio,
Like do you not see what I'm doing?
Speaker 10 (27:00):
You?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You don't want it? You want to be disrespectful to
your teammates stuff like that. Like some dudes, when you
on that field and you play the position he plays
and there's a lot of of contact taking place, there's
a lot of just testerone, Yeah, a lot a lot
of that. You know, that's that's you know, kind of
(27:23):
circulating through your body. You know, you can make you
can make poor decisions, Jonas, there can be poor decisions
that are made, and whether for right or for wrong,
it just seemed like he was so dismissive towards it.
I mean, I'm I'm just being honest, Like I'm thinking
(27:45):
about how I was as a player, and I'm not
saying I was a loose cannon or I was out
of control or anything like that. But I just know this,
if somebody was talking so bad about me that it
made me feel like I needed to do what Jeffrey
Simmons did in that in that moment, he should be
more aware of That's I don't know, man, that just
(28:09):
it just that's that's a little that's a little perplexing
that he wasn't a little bit more like, you know,
to me, I'd have been like, let's go to break,
let's go to break. And and and then we handle
it from there, Like y'all didn't see what it looked
like from a physical standpoint. I'm only listening to the
SoundBite of it. Maybe if I were able to see
(28:32):
what it looked like, like, maybe the dude wasn't in
like arms distance of him or anything like that. I
don't know what the proximity because you can barely hear him,
you know what I mean, Like you can't really hear
Jeffrey Simmons. So maybe they just weren't very close and
that was why he was able to cone. But even then,
at some point, don't you think y'all going like get
(28:55):
get in close quarters or proximity of one another.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I would say this, you know, I probably wouldn't expect
Jeffrey Simmons to be a weekly.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Guest on the Buck Rising Show there on the Zone.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I would think that that's a great conclusion. But
I'm just thinking about safety, Like I just don't want
to be like why would you be like I don't care. Okay,
you take them to court, you get a settlement, whatever
it may be, Like put your hands on me, you're
gonna pay me, like like forget about that, man, like
it sounded like he could possibly hurt that man, you
(29:30):
know what I mean, Like it sounded like he was
so irritated by him that he was letting him know
how irritated he was with him, and the way the
dude responded to him that could have escalated it.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Oh man, Let's listen to it one more time.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Tell me if I'm wrong. I mean, maybe if I
hear it the second time, I'll feel differently. But it
feels as though he was almost in a way he
was kind of like kind of like poking him, like
he was kind of like agitating it and kind of
instigating it a little bit. Let's listen to it again.
Speaker 10 (30:05):
We can talk whatever you want to talk.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
We'll deal with that later.
Speaker 10 (30:12):
Roger McCreary sitting down with us here on one O
four five Zone. Jeff, I mean we're on the air
right now. I'm right here, Jeff. We can talk anytime
you want to. Unbelievable. We gotta make that happen. Well,
we'll deal with that later on Roger mccrey sitting down
with us here on one O four five the Zone. Jeff,
if you want to sit down and talk about this,
we can talk about this I'm talking to you right here, Jeff.
(30:37):
We tried to talk to you last week. I'm being
rude to Roger. Will deal with you later.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I would not have beat him up, but I would
have yolked his ass up. I might. I might have
put my hands on his shirt. I would. They would
have had to have tried. Like he must have been
far enough away. That's all I can say, is what
I'm thinking. Or they must have a prior relationship where
they know each other well enough where he felt comfortable
(31:04):
addressing him that way.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I mean, I'll tell you this right now, Like if
that was me and you were walking by and you
were calling me the P word, I mean like I
would have met you halfway, Like that's how that would
have gotten handled. You would you would have gotten this work,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I mean, I'm not a valent dude, you know what
I mean. Like, so oh damn, damn. Okay, well then
there's that, I.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Guess, Unlike what you did to my guy, Cordell Stewart.
I still haven't gotten over.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I haven't found that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I haven't found the video, but I did find an
article on it, and they referenced the hit on Troy Aikman, which.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Which should show you how violent it was. On Cordel Stewart.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It was violent, bro it had the same his was.
I mean, take this, you know, for what it's worth,
because I'm not a barbarian, but I am a warrior.
It was worse than the It was worse than the
the troy a been hit. Really, Oh it was worse,
was it?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
And he was with Pittsburgh or was when he was
with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
He was with Pittsburgh. Damn, I don't remember that he
was with Pittsburgh. And I'm pretty certain it was a
preseason it was a preseason game.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I know he got Can cussed. I saw on the
article that Cordell got Can cussed out.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It was bad, and I know, I'm pretty certain he knew.
It was me like like I'm gonna run, I'm slash,
you know, I know LeVar since he's in high school,
Like I'm about embarrassing with this speed, I'm gonna get
(32:38):
out of bounce like everything's going to be good. Like no,
what happened? I ran him down, tracked him down in
that Serengetty if if that was real life Sarrengetty. We
was about to eat like the the the Pride was
going to eat that day. I took him down and
I slammed him so hard, and I knew I was
(33:01):
going to I knew I was going if I when
I was running to get him, I was like, you
gotta get him, you gotta get him, you gotta get him,
get him, get him, get him right, get there. And
I got ahold of him and I slammed him down
so hard. I was like, that's a wrap. And I
stood up on him, like stood up like like that's
(33:24):
what I do. And he tried to jump up with me.
You know how dude like tries to jump up with
you because I pop up quick. I popped up quick.
He tried to jump up with me, took like one
step or two, went right on back downs like nope.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I mean if I would have seen that at the time,
like I would have hit you up on your rapid
radio and been like, man, what a hit.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
You know what's interesting about that. If Cordell's stort had
his rapid radio in his helmet and I had my
rapid radio in my helmet, well, I'll just say this
thanks to rapid radio, because those would have been radios
that we would be using and you know what is
(34:04):
the official communication device of our show and Fox Sports
Radio Rapper radios. There an instant push the talk walkie
talkie offering national LTE coverage and no subscription or monthly fees.
So when Cordell Store needed somebody to communicate to him
that he was concussed and wasn't going to be able
(34:24):
to continue playing, they would have used rapid radios. That's right.
Business owners would have told them as well, you know what,
we're going to keep in touch with you because we
know that you're knocked out, and you know what, I
could talk to all my players because they can talk

in your mouth, damn
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up on
this Wednesday edition, We're gonna have the usuals. We've got
our midweek Awards, the old p Petris Papadakis will stop by,
and we've got you any you out. We're also going
to talk about the Olympics, the coverage, the conversation, very weird,
very bizarre. What's not weird is the fact that DJ
(00:21):
Moore got paid and how that applies to C D Lamb,
Jamar Chase and some others that are looking for new
contracts in the NFL. We're also going to have a
discussion about two quarterbacks that apparently well they're just you're
not going to see him anytime soon in the preseason.
And we're going to talk about another player in the
NFL who might be better served getting out of his
current situation. All of that is yours coming up next here,
(00:43):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe on a Wednesday,
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Give this.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Going from FO Time fotball, Boom Bom Bom Bom, j Jonas,
jon Joan Jonas.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
That work first of all, can we a little behind
the scenes here. I think you've started to open your
arms to this song a little bit now that you've
seen that Michael Jordan's a fan of this song as
well too.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's not true that as much as I love Michael
Jordan and and I fall on his side of the
goat debate, it still was not enough to sway me.
And his also or lorengue or whatever it was he
thought he was doing, was not it.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So the I'm out, there's some video on Instagram, some
reels or something where I think it's like a resort
or a restaurant or something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Was it? Was it Mexico? I think so because of
the music.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Well no, because I think it's a place that he frequents.
And if I'm not mistaken, I think his wife is Hispanic,
so I guess they go there all the time. And
so there's this video that LeVar found where Michael Jordan
is tore up from the floor up good.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh yeah, he's starting to gain a little weight. Oh yeah,
he's getting his grown man body nowadays.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
He's got a he's got a cigar in his.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Hand, and he's dancing.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
He's dancing with his lady and there's a band doing
a cover version of this song, and I was like, oh, hey,
that's a song that opens the show. And so now
that it I was like, no, it's not then you
lit'st do it? You go, that's a little Silia Cruz
for you. But it wasn't her who was performing it. Nonetheless,
we were often running here on a Wednesday, two pros
(02:50):
and a cup of Joe Here on Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington Jonas knocks with the hair. No, Brady Quinn,
that damn pe deviolation again. I don't know what to
tell you, just he pissed hot.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
How many of those can you get?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
We're a pretty forgiving show, you know. So that's the
he is traveling back. He is traveling back from Paris
where he was out there in support of his wife
who was helping out with the US Olympic team, and
uh so you know.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Conor, Fortunately he wouldn't do it from the wind tunnel
like I did the other day.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yes, you know what do you guys? By the way,
what is going to be able to figure out the
technology to be able to do the show while flying
on a plane.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I mean it seems like it would make sense to try.
I'll tell you that as much as we I'm flying.
I'm flying out literally right after the show, like out
of here.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Well you think you're going, You ain't got.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Sit around here like your fat and daddy are telling
yet we done.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Boy, don't get smart with me.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
She's got plastic wrapped around the furniture in the living room.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I got things.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Things all.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Do you think that kid is there telling his mom
he's got things to do, like seven or eight? Like
if I told my mom at seven or eight years old,
like they didn't boys in the hood, I got things
to do, my mom would have taken a frying pand
in my face like I got things to do. But yeah, listen,
Radio'll be back tomorrow. LeVar is flying out. Where are
(04:35):
you going to?
Speaker 5 (04:35):
You going back to state college?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Damn stay college? Yes, sir, got to make sure everything
is right man. You know we're going to do the
graduate there this year, so you know, we gotta just
gotta make sure, you know, handling everything, making sure everything
is coeesthetic. Are you going to do now, LeVar Islan,
(04:57):
I'm working on a line, man, We're working on it.
You know. It's a bunch of your call set up.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
We tell you it's a bunch of crap. One of
the biggest lies ever told on this show is Brady
trying to claim that he came up with the name
LeVar Island that was my creation.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, I mean, listen, I support both of you. So
if you know whoever did it, I don't technically remember
who did it at what moment I don't. But if
you say so, I mean, you've never been one to,
you know, fabricate the truth. That's all I mean. I
(05:35):
about what you're saying about it, I just you know,
I would just say that I do know Q well
enough at this point now to also say that if
Q believes he said it, he's not lying either. He
believes he said it. So yeah, the truth is somewhere
there and it is what it is. But nonetheless, it
(05:59):
happened on this show, which is what's most important that
you know, the creation of it, so when it comes
to life, you know it'll be something that you know,
we can all be be happy about.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
By the way, I heard create, Like, there's a lot
of celebrity tequilas and like vodkas and stuff that we've
talked about on the show before. I've heard that's like,
that's a tough go at times.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
That is fun?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Is it? Like try like I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Like bottling it and like trying to piece it all together.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
My thing market Now, I'll lead that to the experts. Yeah,
you know, and if we get to a point of
where it turns into something, then I'll let you know.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Well I do know this.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We are broadcasting here live from the tire rack dot
Com studios.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Tire rack dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
We'll help you get there an unmatched election, fast free shipping,
free road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Ti rac dot com the way tire buying should be.
So this is disappointing, all right. The Hall of Fame game,
which which is the first game of the NFL season.
Everyone's gonna say, what are you talking about? Chiefs, Ravens,
(07:05):
none of us stop, all right, And I don't want
to hear a damn thing about the Brazil game either. Okay,
the Hall of Fame game is the first game of
the NFL season, and the Hall of Fame Game.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Is tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's already here, Bears Texans in Canton, Ohio, first football
game of the year, and apparently it's not really going
to look like a real football game because according to
Matt Eberflus, the head coach of the Chicago Bears, he's
made a decision on who's going to be a part
of it.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
So big news for today, starters are not playing in
the Hall.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Of Fame game.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
We feel really good where they are right now in
terms of the pads practices we had. We've had three
so far and then have another one tomorrow and have
a lot of good work with ones on ones, twos
on twos, and a lot of good situations. You know,
we've got a head start there because we are in
the Hall of Fame game, which I think is very
fortunate for us this year to be able to add
those reps you know, time on task, as we say
(08:03):
to our football team.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So we're super excited about that.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
Cam said that he believes he's exactly where you guys wanting.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I do you agree with that? And what progress has
he continued to make over last.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
I would agree with that. He's really made some big
strides here. I mean we're talking about a massive amount
of reps and to me, he's really starting to pick
up his leadership too, you know, because now he feels
comfortable in the offense. You can see him really starting
to help coach other guys, encourage other guys, bring guys together,
which he's done in the past, and that's a good
sign too.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Okay, so if everything's going well, why not we Why
don't we take this thing out of the garage for
a spin tomorrow night and let's see it play?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Like, what do we? Why not play him?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And I get it start like, a starting quarterback hasn't
played in the Hall of Fame game since twenty fifteen,
But what's the difference in the risk of playing in
this preseason game as opposed to the next one.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
That's the part that's confusing to me.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I think there's the sensible side of approaching these things,
and then there's the entertainment side of approaching these things. Right, So,
at the end of the day, whether people are aware
of this or not, I'm gonna let people in on
a little secret. Football is a part of entertainment. It's
(09:23):
reality television at its finance. People may not really know that,
may not categorize sport that way, but that's what it is.
It's a production. It's a show with real life characters
that go out there and entertain of viewing audience to
(09:46):
say that you're going to do you know, let's just
say a show where Bob Barker has been the host
of that show for you know, forever, or Pat say
Jack or alex Alec Trebek, you know, all of these
(10:07):
these amazing hosts of shows and say, you know what,
this is the first show of the season, We're gonna
use a backup. You know, their reps have been amazing,
They're right where we need them to be. You know what,
Vana White is in mid season form and turning those
(10:27):
those you know letters around and hitting those letters. We're
just gonna we're gonna put the backups in and let
them do the show. From the entertainment standpoint, that makes
absolutely no sense, because this is the first game and
it's the only game that's that's airing, So to put
(10:50):
him in for a series does not hurt anything at all. Now,
on the sensible side of it, to put them in
for one series doesn't make or break what they have
going on. So from the coach's standpoint, if he doesn't
(11:12):
want to risk any of his starters, you know, sustaining
any type of injury, because he said all starters. He
didn't say just Caleb Williams. He said all starters, which
means that he just does not want to risk any
unnecessary injuries. I get it, I really do. When I
(11:32):
played in a Hall of Fame game and we played
literally one or two series and we were done, and
then the rest of the guys, you know, went in
there and they were auditioning for their job or putting
film together for what would possibly be the next team
that would you know, possibly use that film and say
(11:53):
we want to, you know, we want to give this
guy a chance on our team. That's generally what preseason is.
Four is for the three or four guys that are
trying to make the roster make the team. It might
be the number might be higher from time to time,
but generally it's not a very high number of guys
(12:15):
that are on a roster that are playing on second
and third even fourteen, they're not going to be there.
So this is really an opportunity for those guys to
get impactful reps. But now that's the sensible side, that's
the business side of it from the football side, and
(12:36):
I don't see there being an issue with that, Jonas.
But with that being said, It goes back to the
reality television show, right, it goes back to the production
show of it. You have the number one overall pick.
He's got a lot of attention on him, doing a
lot of interviews, a lot of people are paying attention,
(12:59):
a lot of people want to know what he looks
like as a pro. And you don't want to give
him a smidge, you don't you don't want to give
him that as they would say, you don't want to
give him that that sample, you know, like you saw
how they gave him the sample of that blue magic.
They came back. You know, I just I think it's,
(13:22):
if I'm being honest, he's not going to play enough
reps where you're going to be able to say, oh
my gosh, like he's the next Montana, Right, this is
not going to happen. So there's that, But to not
put him in at all, and he's a rookie, I
(13:45):
don't know, and it's I don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's almost like the this is just the status quo.
This is the way that it's gone, because you know,
if Teddy Bridgewater was the last guy at to starting
quarterback to play in a Hall of Fame game in
twenty fifteen. I look at it, and some of the
I've seen behind it is well, you haven't had enough
practices to just be thrown in there in an actual game.
And I'm thinking, well, neither is Houston. Like they're in
(14:10):
the same spot too, so it's not like you know,
they've gotten it. They've been playing for weeks and weeks
and weeks, and then the Bears just showed up ten
days ago with you know, a few padded practices and
they're going to be thrown out there. I just I
look at it. Look, it's not the biggest deal in
the world. It's not a big deal at all, probably,
but I look at it and I go, I just
don't know where you pick and choose what's risky and
(14:33):
what's not when it comes to the preseason, Like it's
just like a preseason game is a preseason game. Like
Rex Ryan putting Mark Sanchez in the fourth preseason game
to where he gets hurt, which led to Brady Quinn
actually getting signed by the Jets that year. That's just reckless.
Like I don't understand why Rex Ryan had his starting
quarterback in the fourth preseason game and scrambling to boot
(14:55):
where he got annihilated and knocked out for the year.
Like I get all that, but this one, I'm like, good,
it's a Hall of Fame game, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Let's you know, you want, man.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You want to laugh at something. I think that happened
to Cordel Stewart in a preseason game with US, really
and I laced his ass up. I put him in
a body bag. Bro damn yeah, laced him up. It
was It was like a.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Naked Hey Lee, can we look that up? Google search?
LeVar Arrington lacing up Cordel Stewart. Just do it, just
that exact search or if you want to like, go
go more detailed, go LaVar Arrington puts Cordel Stewart in
a body bag to try.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
To look up what year? Maybe two thousand three? When
did Tommy matt expect play, because that was that's what
led Was it two thousand and one? Was it that long?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Tommy Maddox was a little bit later than that.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I think it was because Ben Roethlisberger got well, no,
you're right, probably two thousand and one, two thousand and two.
It was right after the XFL because Tommy Maddocks had
that XFL year where he was the MVP and then
the Steelers signed him. So yeah, you're probably right around
two thousand and one, two thousand and two, because Ben
Ben got drafted two thousand and three, and that's when
he started as a rookie, because Tommy Maddocks got hurt.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Tommy Maddox ended up coming in and playing because Cordell
was never the same after I hit him, never was
the same, So I don't I'm looking at their schedule,
laced bro bro. He thought he had the juice, you know,
(16:39):
and it wasn't worth the squeeze.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
That was it a Hall of Fame game?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, it was a preseason game, though I do recall
it being a I'm looking at two thousand ones. It
doesn't have in this one. It doesn't have the preseason games.
But yeah, it doesn't have the pre season game. Lee's efforting, Okay,
I was looking for, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
August eighteenth, two thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
It wasn't two thousand and one, two thousand and one.
It wasn't one because we're not on there.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Okay, yeah, well we will.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It might have been like two thousand and two or
two thousand and three. It feels like it would have
been two thousand and two. Two thousand and three. But
he tried. He tried a naked bootleg and I believe
it was a preseason game, and man it was. It
was bad. It went bad.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
By the way, we should also mention congratulations are in
order for DJ Moore.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, he got Bears, He got paid.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
He got a four year extension with the Bears for
one hundred and ten million dollars. That's twenty seven point
five a year, eighty two point six million dollars guaranteed.
So obviously not you know, you know, near the Justin
Jefferson or surpassing Justin Jefferson. But it's all as you know,
somebody that was a part of that deal that ended
(18:03):
up turning into the number one pick, which ended up
turning into Caleb Williams, which meant Bryce Young went to Carolina.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
DJ Moore was sort of added in.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Had career years last year in Chicago and ended up
getting paid afterwards. And from all accounts, great guy, great teammate,
never bitches and complaints, just one of those sort of
quiet wide receivers. It just goes and does his work.
And now he was going to get an opportunity.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I would love like he did an interview and I
want to say it was with the pivot, but man,
he said some pretty interesting things and it made me wonder.
And it was about the Carolina Panthers. You know, there
were like four dudes. Two of them went over a
thousand yards receiving, two of them went over a thousand
(18:50):
yards all purpose. Cimac was out injured, didn't even play,
and he felt like the team was going in the
right direction and they blew it up.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, look at Brian Burns, Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore. I
don't know about you, but like those like that's that's
like a lot of talent that you had, you drafted,
was in the building and they just decided, now we're
better off going another direction.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah, I just I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It may it may you know, Matt Rule escapegoat of it. Yeah,
you know, I don't know. It's rough, seems strange.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe. Here

Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with the air coming up in
about twenty minutes from now from the Tirak dot com studios.
There's a story in the world of sports that I
think is going to gross LeVar out, and for good reason.
He should be grossed out, and so should you. We'll
have the details on that for you again at twenty
minutes from now in another edition of In case you
(21:08):
missed it. So we're on right now on one oh
four five The Zone in Nashville. It's one of our
fine Fox Sports radio affiliates, and did a little bit
of a dust up on air yesterday where Jeffrey Simmons,
the star defensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans, apparently was
(21:31):
upset with Buck Rising, who's a local host there in Nashville,
does a good job there late mornings into the early
afternoons from ten to one, and apparently did not like
maybe some of the comments that Buck had made about
him and you know, maybe some penalties or rough housing
at practice or whatnot. And so while on the air,
(21:53):
Jeffrey Simmons walked by where they were broadcasting from Titans
training camp and it's had a little it like this.
Speaker 10 (22:01):
Jeff you want to sit down, we can talk whatever
you want to talk. We'll deal with that later. Roger
McCreary sitting down with us here on one.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
O four five zone. Jeff.
Speaker 10 (22:12):
I mean we're on the air right now. I'm right here, Jeff.
We can talk anytime you want to. Unbelievable, we gotta
make that happen. Well, we'll deal with that later on.
Roger McCreary sitting down with us here on one O
four five the zone. Jeff, if you want to sit
down and talk about this, we can talk about this.
I'm talking to you right here, Jeff. We tried to
(22:34):
talk to you last week. I'm being rude to Roger.
Will deal with you Lateran.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I mean, he's.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Everybody's on edge, all right, everybody just relax, Okay, it's
hot your training camp, trying to get ready for the season.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
He didn't seem bother by Jeffrey Simmons. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Oh, let me.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Look this fellow up, because he definitely was very uh comfortable.
He was totally comfortable with all right. He looks like
one of them type guys. Uh so, uh you know
one of his one of his pictures, he he you know,
(23:19):
he's got a cigar in his hand, and I mean
he looks like one of them guys, so you know,
he got one of them. Tate looks to him one
of those you know, the dude, the dude that beyond
social media, the dude that got arrested overseas and stuff
like that guy Andrew he kind of has that.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Tate that that well, Andrew Tate was handle that later.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Andrew Tate was a either a kickboxer or a muay
Thai fighter.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, he trained, he does that stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But this this this joker has that type of look.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Too good for you, buck, you're trying to do a
broad that's a professional broadcaster there, part of the Fox
Sports radio family.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Good for you the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
He looks unbothered. And this picture that I just found
of it seems to work for him. It works out
for him.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Yeah, does it hold on?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
It is?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
It is great though that for those of you wondering
what the bleeped out word was starts with a P
and yes and ain't pretty No, definitely is it? H
It's that it's that word that that is used quite
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Man? Damn?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I'm just say he ain't No, he ain't, he ain't
a scrub.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I'll tell you, oh bad, I just I do like
I do like the fact that you know you're doing
a broadcast and you know, an NFL player walks by
and calls you the P word to ice while on
the air, like it just with no.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Regard for hey, we're on the air right now.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I remember doing a live remote at we were at
Tory Pines in La Joya, and we were with Jay Moore.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
And Jaymore's on the air and David.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Wells walks by and he was already like half in
the bag and he was like, you know, walking around
the course because he might have been he was going
to play around or whatever, but you know, the open
was happening that weekend, and just had no thought to, oh,
you guys are on the air right now, it's a
live broadcast. And was just dropping every F bomb you
could pop, like we ran out of dump buttons, like
(25:36):
there was nothing we could do, like totally held hostage
by day and it wasn't like a combative exchange or anything.
He was just saying hello, and he was having a
couple of cocktails. And Jeffrey Simmons sees a broadcast going
on and she's like you know what, I'll drop the
P word twice and see how that goes over the air.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
That's a big dude, man, It's huge. Jeffrey Simmons is
a big dude. But but but homeboy must have just
felt like he was safe, like buck right, what is
it rising?
Speaker 5 (26:02):
I'm rising?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yes, he must have just felt like, you know, there's
no you know, like you saying we're going to handle
this later, like the way that he said he said
it in a way like like how what exactly are
you insinuating how you're going to handle it? Like I
don't think he meant it at all. Of course physically
(26:24):
I don't think he managed it that way, but the
kind of just like the way he did it, there
was not an ounce of I'm scared or nervous or
whatever it could be, like are you I don't know, man.
I just feel like if you have a dude as
(26:46):
big as as Jeffrey rolling up on you like that,
feeling the way that he's feeling, I wouldn't be so
dismissive like I'm on I'm on air, I'm on radio,
Like do you not see what I'm doing?
Speaker 10 (27:00):
You?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
You don't want it? You want to be disrespectful to
your teammates stuff like that. Like some dudes, when you
on that field and you play the position he plays
and there's a lot of of contact taking place, there's
a lot of just testerone, Yeah, a lot a lot
of that. You know, that's that's you know, kind of
(27:23):
circulating through your body. You know, you can make you
can make poor decisions, Jonas, there can be poor decisions
that are made, and whether for right or for wrong,
it just seemed like he was so dismissive towards it.
I mean, I'm I'm just being honest, Like I'm thinking
(27:45):
about how I was as a player, and I'm not
saying I was a loose cannon or I was out
of control or anything like that. But I just know this,
if somebody was talking so bad about me that it
made me feel like I needed to do what Jeffrey
Simmons did in that in that moment, he should be
more aware of That's I don't know, man, that just
(28:09):
it just that's that's a little that's a little perplexing
that he wasn't a little bit more like, you know,
to me, I'd have been like, let's go to break,
let's go to break. And and and then we handle
it from there, Like y'all didn't see what it looked
like from a physical standpoint. I'm only listening to the
SoundBite of it. Maybe if I were able to see
(28:32):
what it looked like, like, maybe the dude wasn't in
like arms distance of him or anything like that. I
don't know what the proximity because you can barely hear him,
you know what I mean, Like you can't really hear
Jeffrey Simmons. So maybe they just weren't very close and
that was why he was able to cone. But even then,
at some point, don't you think y'all going like get
(28:55):
get in close quarters or proximity of one another.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I would say this, you know, I probably wouldn't expect
Jeffrey Simmons to be a weekly.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
Guest on the Buck Rising Show there on the Zone.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I would think that that's a great conclusion. But
I'm just thinking about safety, Like I just don't want
to be like why would you be like I don't care. Okay,
you take them to court, you get a settlement, whatever
it may be, Like put your hands on me, you're
gonna pay me, like like forget about that, man, like
it sounded like he could possibly hurt that man, you
(29:30):
know what I mean, Like it sounded like he was
so irritated by him that he was letting him know
how irritated he was with him, and the way the
dude responded to him that could have escalated it.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Oh man, Let's listen to it one more time.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Tell me if I'm wrong. I mean, maybe if I
hear it the second time, I'll feel differently. But it
feels as though he was almost in a way he
was kind of like kind of like poking him, like
he was kind of like agitating it and kind of
instigating it a little bit. Let's listen to it again.
Speaker 10 (30:05):
We can talk whatever you want to talk.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
We'll deal with that later.
Speaker 10 (30:12):
Roger McCreary sitting down with us here on one O
four five Zone. Jeff, I mean we're on the air
right now. I'm right here, Jeff. We can talk anytime
you want to. Unbelievable. We gotta make that happen. Well,
we'll deal with that later on Roger mccrey sitting down
with us here on one O four five the Zone. Jeff,
if you want to sit down and talk about this,
we can talk about this I'm talking to you right here, Jeff.
(30:37):
We tried to talk to you last week. I'm being
rude to Roger. Will deal with you later.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I would not have beat him up, but I would
have yolked his ass up. I might. I might have
put my hands on his shirt. I would. They would
have had to have tried. Like he must have been
far enough away. That's all I can say, is what
I'm thinking. Or they must have a prior relationship where
they know each other well enough where he felt comfortable
(31:04):
addressing him that way.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I mean, I'll tell you this right now, Like if
that was me and you were walking by and you
were calling me the P word, I mean like I
would have met you halfway, Like that's how that would
have gotten handled. You would you would have gotten this work,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I mean, I'm not a valent dude, you know what
I mean. Like, so oh damn, damn. Okay, well then
there's that, I.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Guess, Unlike what you did to my guy, Cordell Stewart.
I still haven't gotten over.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I haven't found that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I haven't found the video, but I did find an
article on it, and they referenced the hit on Troy Aikman, which.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Which should show you how violent it was. On Cordel Stewart.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It was violent, bro it had the same his was.
I mean, take this, you know, for what it's worth,
because I'm not a barbarian, but I am a warrior.
It was worse than the It was worse than the
the troy a been hit. Really, Oh it was worse,
was it?
Speaker 5 (32:02):
And he was with Pittsburgh or was when he was
with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
He was with Pittsburgh. Damn, I don't remember that he
was with Pittsburgh. And I'm pretty certain it was a
preseason it was a preseason game.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I know he got Can cussed. I saw on the
article that Cordell got Can cussed out.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
It was bad, and I know, I'm pretty certain he knew.
It was me like like I'm gonna run, I'm slash,
you know, I know LeVar since he's in high school,
Like I'm about embarrassing with this speed, I'm gonna get
(32:38):
out of bounce like everything's going to be good. Like no,
what happened? I ran him down, tracked him down in
that Serengetty if if that was real life Sarrengetty. We
was about to eat like the the the Pride was
going to eat that day. I took him down and
I slammed him so hard, and I knew I was
(33:01):
going to I knew I was going if I when
I was running to get him, I was like, you
gotta get him, you gotta get him, you gotta get him,
get him, get him, get him right, get there. And
I got ahold of him and I slammed him down
so hard. I was like, that's a wrap. And I
stood up on him, like stood up like like that's
(33:24):
what I do. And he tried to jump up with me.
You know how dude like tries to jump up with
you because I pop up quick. I popped up quick.
He tried to jump up with me, took like one
step or two, went right on back downs like nope.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I mean if I would have seen that at the time,
like I would have hit you up on your rapid
radio and been like, man, what a hit.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
You know what's interesting about that. If Cordell's stort had
his rapid radio in his helmet and I had my
rapid radio in my helmet, well, I'll just say this
thanks to rapid radio, because those would have been radios
that we would be using and you know what is
(34:04):
the official communication device of our show and Fox Sports
Radio Rapper radios. There an instant push the talk walkie
talkie offering national LTE coverage and no subscription or monthly fees.
So when Cordell Store needed somebody to communicate to him
that he was concussed and wasn't going to be able
(34:24):
to continue playing, they would have used rapid radios. That's right.
Business owners would have told them as well, you know what,
we're going to keep in touch with you because we
know that you're knocked out, and you know what, I
could talk to all my players because they can talk
