(01:53):
In my opinion, when the Olympics are going on LaVar
at Olympic.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Update, I only feel it's right because we only.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Have this moment in time where we get to celebrate
our athletes, but even bigger than that, our country. Like
that's I don't know if you watch as much as
I do. I love it, like it's one of the
coolest things in my mind. And I think about how,
you know, we were fortunate enough to play in the NFL,
but imagine being able to represent your country for playing
(02:19):
a sport. The pride that comes along with that. All
these individuals too, especially when they get up to that podium.
They talk about their success, but they talk about like
what they're why they're doing it, and they're doing it
for so many people who help them get there, so
many people you know back in the States, their families,
their friends, they're whatever it may be, maybe the ones
that came.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Before them, maybe it's just the country.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
But I always love trying to highlight that, at least
at this time, what we can.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Because to me, like that's what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Man, Like it's it's you know, being about something bigger
than yourself. And so many of these athletes represented. Did
you did you have a chance to watch any of
it yesterday?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No? I didn't. You're just all those things, with all
those things being said, I find the hot I look
at I look for the highlights. I do look at
the highlights I saw. I'm actually looking now Women's floor
exercise final. You know Simone and Jordan didn't get they
didn't get it, but you know Brazil won.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
But even then, like even in that exercise, it's an
incredible story. Rebecca and Rogi from Brazil. She had actually
tore her aycil three times and she's overcome that. Now
it's going to win gold. So I mean the the
act of displaying respect from Simone and Jordan to her.
It tells you more about the story of the path
(03:39):
at Circer just to get to that.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I think there's a lot of that going on that
I'm probably lying. I did watch some of it. I
saw the young lady from from the USA. I believe
she finished second. She might have won gold in the discus. Yeah,
I won the gold, right, she like she like set
the record where yeah or yeah one or two times? Yeah,
(04:02):
something like that. I saw her throwing the discus yesterday,
right now, what's that I mean? You know, I didn't
watch any guys. Okay, I didn't say any guys. That's well.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
The other thing too, if you know anything about the
Valerie Almen and watching the discus throw, she doesn't look
like the rest of her competitors.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
That she's pretty good looking.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
That's what I was trying to do.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, she's pretty good looking.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Also, while we're doundated, by the way, while we're the
theme of good looking, what else did I see on
the Olympics that that was interesting? The eight hundred I
saw the eight hundred final where the young lady from Kenya.
Was it Kenya? I think it was. It was some
(04:49):
state from Africa that that she that, and I think
they finished one and two. I watched that. I watched
Track and Field, I watched, I watched I watched the
poll vote yesterday and it was guys. It was funny
because I was kind of looking to see look at
what people's clearances were on on the bar, and in
(05:11):
fact I thought I was not maybe I don't know,
and weirdly enough, oddly enough, just just based upon what
had taken place, like is this something that I should
have been paying attention to? Where you know it they
have to kind of make sure that they keep their
junk away from the bar. And then and then, like
(05:34):
I thought about you at the point. One guy he
got over, he cleared the hell out of the bar,
but his shin tapped it on his way down, which
is crazy. He tapped it on his way down. He
cleared it easily, and he tried to he tried to
actually put it back on. It was kind of dope
(05:54):
what he did. He tried to like settle the bar
back on as he was going down, but it didn't work.
And I was like, yeah, probably to do with the
junk he probably did, Like it looked like it bounced,
but maybe it could have stayed Maybe it could have
wobble wobble but not fallen down.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
But little wah blah, little shaky shaky.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
He could have wobble wobble, shaky shaky didn't stayed on,
you know, but it did.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
So you were referring to armand Duplantis.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
He's the Swedish pole vaulter who actually did end up
getting in the end that was his attempt I think
at like six point two five meters, which he ended
up making it set a world record. What stood out
to me about him is one he is another athlete
that kind of in the Simone Biles category. If you
look at like the records, he's got them all, like
(06:41):
his dad's coached him. He was born in Louisiana. He
actually went to LSU. He went with sha Curie richardson
the track star for the United States. I'm not exactly
sure the backstory as to why he's competing for Sweden,
and I assume it's something within his family. But he
also he also is by farid away the best at
(07:01):
that sport, I mean, even the guy from the United States.
So I believe one Silver is up there clapping for
him as he's attempting to go for a world record
where it was light years away from what anyone else
was even to get close to. So not not a
US athlete, but I mean he was born in the US,
he's traded in the US. Not exactly sure the store
there you probably were talking about the five thousand meters
(07:23):
like that. That was the one thing about the Olympics
I thought was interesting after Sundays in America because it
was two women from Kenya who ended up winning.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
However, there was some controversy because you.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Were one of them got tripped while they were running.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
It wasn't even tripped that there was one trying to
fight for position, yes, and she tried to like kind
of get by, and the other girl kind of grabbed
her arm like and pushed her. And there was so
basically she was in front, correct it was it was Ethiopian, Yeah,
gudov C.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I believe it Crowns too.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
She she was ahead, and then there was it was
well Kenny's Beatrice Chipout ended up winning it all. She
kind of pulled away with it. But it was a
woman by the name of her last name was Kipuchen
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
She ended up coming in second. I believe right.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
She yeah, she petitioned.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
So the Ethiopian woman petitioned and she got back into
the medals.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
And then the Kenny had petition.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Uh you know that they petitioned, they got back into it.
She had, so she end up geting second place. But
I mean here it was so I never ran track,
and I wasn't really sure how this worked because I
always assumed there's probably some bumping and shoving and stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Oh yeah, but like, how does that work?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I mean if someone's I don't know, because I've never
had enough stamina to ever run a race where you
you merge lanes, So I've never been in a situation
where But it was funny because while I was watching
the race, all I could sit there and think about
is look how long these ladies' legs are and look
at their gates and and it's it's like, somebody's got
(09:02):
how do you not hit one another? You're swinging them
legs around going around the track. How do you run
that close and not hit somebody?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Like? What?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Because the one lady that was favored to win it,
she was running in the pack, and I was like, oh,
she ain't gonna win this. She in the pack. How's
she gonna get through the pack? And then people started
falling off, and then the pack became less than a pack.
It was just like a couple people and you could
see that, okay, but she ran out of time, Like
(09:34):
by the time people have fell off, it was like,
I think, like five hundred meters or something like that
left in the race. It was like one lot basically
to go. When when she had, you know, the opportunity
to kind of catch up, and she didn't have enough
in her to get to the front. But I don't know, man,
I don't have an answer. I don't I don't have
a valid answer for you other than is it a
(09:57):
common courtesy that if somebody gets a position, a certain
position on the track that you respected, and if you're
going to get in front of them, you go around them.
I would assume, But I don't know. I mean, I
almost feel like, Hell, if I'm racing, then we're we're
running in the same lane and you're in front of me,
(10:19):
and I got somebody boxing me in. Why can't I
just push you out the way?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Why can't I just trip you and just keep going
get it out the way? Why not?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I don't know. I don't know what. I don't know
what the answer is.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
What what I do know is I feel like if
you petition, you get your way. Because initially Ethiopia petitioned
and then they got someone back on the podium and
I heard believe her name was Faith Kipejian.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
She got disqualified.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Then they petition coming from Kenya, and then they got
right back up there. This also happened to the forward team,
and I was watching, obviously my wife's involved with you,
and it actually blew my mind.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So during the Florentine we talked.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
About Rebecca Androgy winning it, some O Biles comes in second. Well,
for a moment before Jordan Chiles went, you know, there
was a I believe it was an Italian athlete who
had technically won third. So as Jordan Childs is finishing
her team, the person who was in fourth, and I
(11:27):
don't know what country they were from, maybe they were
Romanian or something like that, they had actually filed a petition,
and once Jordan Childs was done and her score came out,
one thing that they noticed was how their score gets
done his degree of difficulty and execution and simple math,
whatever their execution is you add to what the degree
(11:48):
of difficulty is and that gets their total score. And
so somehow, some way they were off by a tenth
in adding up those two scores, and they gave her
a five point eight difficulty as opposed to a five
point nine. So the coach as soon as they saw that,
they went petitioned, and so she ended up going from
(12:09):
not being on the metal stand to then winning a bronze.
And I just sit there and go, First off, how
does that happen? Is someone not checking the math every
single time? The second thing is is imagine being any
of those athletes, like any of those athletes, like for starters,
like going back to the women's five thousand meters, that
didn't happen until after they already got.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
On the potent.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah. Wow, So there were there.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Were people who literally stop took the photos all that,
and then after the petition comes through later on.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
They go back and they change.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Like I almost there's a degree of like if you're
the person in position where you both know.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
There might be a petition, I'm not giving nothing back.
I'm just telling you.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
So you're getting up on that podent taking the photo,
You're like this, all people are gonna remember.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
If I was there, I was there. Thirty years from now,
will people remember the people who weren't in the picture?
In fact, well, they remember the people that were in
the picture.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
So here's what I'll say.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
It's a it's a good point because the picture itself
w exist forever.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
But for people who watched the race, like you and
I said.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Both, yeah, both she did.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Women won it. Yeah, they got one and two.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
There you go, And that that was what the impression
I was still under.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
But they were the second place wasn't on the podium?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
So that's anyway I was. I was thinking about the
emotions of being an athlete.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Where and she's the one.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That committed the infraction, and she here's what's crazy. She
almost won. Yeah, she was like right there at the end,
was about the win, and the other young lady passed
her up at the end to get it, like almost won.
So if she wins it, then that means the young
lady that petition gets the gold. Correct.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Uh, well yeah she would have, yeah because she came
in second. Yeah, because she got silver. Interesting, Yeah, well
you were obviously watching. You talk about some of the
reasons why you were watching lead a lap.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I believe it was as well, I don't know it's true.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Is it true? Lead to lap? You were watching? Oh
of course, yeah? Well were you?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
What sports were you watching?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (14:15):
The same as you guys, just track and field, try
to stay up for the for the gymnastics early in
the morning. Looking forward of course to today USA versus
Brazil which in basketball.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Oh okay, that's just said. That's really the big one
people are looking forward to. Even though I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't know, Lee, that was a pretty underwhelming response,
you know what I mean. I was looking for, Like
nor I.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Noticed that he was watching silver sports as you were leavar,
which you were putting out what attracted you to some
of those sports?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I mean shorter girl I wanted to discuss. She definitely
was like, you know, I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Get over how like skinny she is compared to everyone else,
and she likes that.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
She's like she's like sneak key, sneaky.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Like strong, powerful. It's just a perfect techtic.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
You could see it in the legs and the muscles.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
There was a girl who threw the suck the net
or a last attempt.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Oh twy, like she did it like three times and.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
My daughter looks at me, she goes, why did she
do that? I go, well, I don't think she's doing
that on purpose. I go, but I think she has
to exert herself in a major way in order to
even give herself a shot at getting on the podium.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
And then she was like celebrating, like you know what
I mean, Like you just scratched on your last opportunity,
and you're telling your country people to like get on
board with celebrating with you, Like I'm not getting on
board with you scratching on your chance to get on
the metal the metal podium. Like, throw that discus out there.
(15:50):
You're you're you're the best that we have to offer.
You're trying to tell me I should be getting excited
for you because you took the opportunity that somebody else
would have at least got the discuss out there. Now
I'm joking, Hey, yeah, you know what I mean. I mean,
throw these hey, let's go. Hey, look, I gotta be
(16:14):
careful what I'd be saying because people take my bits
as did you guys? I know we're up on it,
but did you see that there were two Pittsburgh outlets
that wrote about when I was talking about Cordel Stoart
my hit old Cordell store, and how I was like
joking and like being happy about hurting him and all
(16:35):
this stuff. Like I've never been happy about hurting anybody.
And if I'm talking trash about hitting somebody or something
I did in the game, I'm merely just having fun
with it.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Get over it, people, it's been like the casual listeners,
it's been.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Like twenty some years man, Like relax, Cordell, Cordell's store.
It is fine. Twenty some plus years later, is okay
as far as I know. It's a moment in time.
Like I'm being brag adocious about knocking Cordell Stored out.
He got dang right, I will. I knocked out Slash.
I grew up watching Slash. I got a chance they
(17:12):
hit him. So what it was my bit? Enjoy my bit.
So I guess I gotta watch what I'm saying because
I guess the next thing they they'll do is write
an article about how LeVar is a misogynists and and
chauvinness as it applies to Olympics sports and these women
and they should be respected more. I respect the women.
That's why I was watching them, and I didn't. I
(17:33):
can't sit there and say I saw too many guys
outside of the pole vaulters, which which I am admiring
them because they run and they carry very long sticks,
and obviously it became very apparent that they carry long
sticks not only in their hands, but in their pants.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
And that would do it for me. For the next
round of the two intermeaters.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I mean, that's his event. He's supposed to win it.
It's like the hundred is the surprise, Like, oh my gosh,
he wins the hundred. He's supposed to be like, he's
the guy in the two hundreds, so I'm expecting him
to win same.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I will say this anyone who tries to compare themselves
that you say both though, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
He said he was going to get it. He said
he was going to get that man's record.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
You say, Bull was so much more dominant and better
than anyone I think I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, I mean, that's easy. It's easy. I mean, I know,
I look at Michael Johnson as a fan, and I
love Michael Johnson and what he did when he was
in the Olympics and when he was running. But and
Carl Lewis obviously is a name that comes up, but
most dominant, like strike fear into your Heart swag on
top of that, even though Michael Johnson's swag was dope too,
(18:50):
but you know what it was though.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
To me, it was always that halfway point where he
always turned it on. Well that's where that's where it
just sticks. But I was coming, man, Oh yeah, you
knew he was coming. And once he get there, you
watch him go buy us.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Dang that's fast.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, pause fast, and I just try to just keep
going whatever that. Yeah, there you go, keep going.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
You can't stop. Oh bitch, move out the way.
Speaker 3 (19:19):

We've got an update for a player that has been
(22:15):
in the news for a while, and it's not for
anything bad. Obviously, he's played well enough where deserves a
contract extension. However, Brandon Ay for the San Francisco forty
nine ers has not been able to come without are
you has not been able to come to that agreement
with the forty nine ers, and now it seems more
likely than not he will be traded to one of
(22:38):
a few interested parties. We're gonna go to lead to
lab now for some I guess an update on this
particular story, Lee.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Yeah, that's right, Brady and LeVar.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
As of late last night, the forty nine Ers have
agreed on the frameworks for a deal with both the
Browns and the Patriots. For Brandon Ayuk, it's now in
his hands to work out a long term contract and
agree with terms with these teams. But the other teams
were in contention were the Commanders, who have officially removed
themselves from trade talks, and the Steelers, who have not
met what the forty nine Ers are looking for in
(23:07):
a trade talk. Many Beat reporters have reported that the
deal would likely also need to be involved with another
veteran wide receiver in a swap.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Huh, How the.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Hell do the Browns have all this money to we
keep paying these deals?
Speaker 2 (23:19):

Speaker 5 (23:20):
Cabot says they could get under if they involve Amari
Cooper in the deal.
Speaker 4 (23:24):

Yeah, get rid of it. It would be.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Oh, that's not gonna work. Come on now.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I was just gonna say, if you're adding Red and
Nayiyuk with Amari Cooper to go with Jerry Judy they
traded for to go with Elijah Moore, who's there their
draft pick.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
I'm telling you, man, Jamari Thrash, that kid can play.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
He's gonna be fun to watch. And Cedric Tillman and
David Joku. I mean, I mean, just throw it out there.
One of your guys is there somewhere Like I'm simplifying it,
but damn. But if you're giving up Cooper, that's different
because I love Amar Cooper. I think he's one of
the more underrated wide receivers in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Man, I would not do they have a hard time
staying healthy for an entire season though, Yeah, I just
I guess. I just wonder if you were to do that,
is the full time Ayyuk better than the amount of
time you have with Amari Cooper.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I mean, Cooper's got over one thousand yards four of
the last five seasons. It's gonna be pot he's.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Been healthy for I think two of those or three
of those.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I mean, do you see Ayyuk as a tremendous upgrade.
I mean he's younger, right, isn't that you younger than
much younger HICs rookie deal, So you gotta believe that
maybe you're getting the type of player you want to
have and you're getting some longevity. I mean, it's I
feel like it's a win now or go home scenario
(24:57):
for for the Cleveland Browns. At some point they're going
to have to make some hard decisions on some of
these players just based upon some of the obvious obvious
deals going on there. I would assume I could be wrong,
but I mean, are they in win now mode? And
if they are in win now mode, does that mean Okay,
we swap out a Marii Cooper to bring in Brandon
(25:19):
Nayuk And that may be the type of player they
feel puts them over the top. With having the return
of Massa, oh my gosh, of Randy, of Deshaun Deshaun
Deshaun Watson. I mean, maybe that's.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
What's Cooper made the Pro Bowl last year and he
didn't have more yards, more receptions, and more touchdowns than
brendan Ayuk.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Brendan Ayuk has not made the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
That's a Plexico Burrs debate. Plexico Burst was like one
of the most productive receivers in the league for like
two three years something like that, at least two and
never made never made a Pro Bowl. And a lot
of people say it was because he wasn't a He
wasn't a player friendly dude, like other players didn't like him,
so they vote for him.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I like him, and I really don't, but I like him. Yeah,
he's cool, dude, he's good man. Yeah, bumping to him
South Bed every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Oh yeah, you will, you will, that's right. And you'll
bump into him on Saturdays otherwise too, you know what
I mean, jump on up on game. We'll start getting
you on there a little more if you're available. Uh
but yeah, man, I mean I don't I don't know.
Sometimes you look at why guys make the Pro Bowl
and why other guys don't. Sometimes they get the benefit
(26:38):
of doubt because of their familiarity with with people, and
maybe that's what it is. I don't know, but I
just still find this IU exchange for Marii Cooper to
be it's a pretty Here's my thing. If I'm the
forty nine ers, why would I have waited this long
(27:01):
to do it? Like did you feel like he was
going to, you know, change his mind? Like take a
different angle, Like now you see some of the contracts
that have been awarded to guys that maybe you could
debate if they're better than Ayuk or not, and they
got paid, and now you realize that the market is
(27:21):
the market and you're not. You're definitely you weren't going
to pay what he wanted in the beginning, and you
certainly aren't going to pay I'm sure his number changed.
I bet you Brandon Ayuk's original number changed once some
of these guys got their contracts. So I mean, is that, like,
what do you think is the reason why now is
(27:42):
the time you go ahead and let Brandon Ayuk go
in a trade?
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I think there's three reasons for it.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
To your point, the forty nine ers most likely were
never going to within their cap structure say we're going
to devote x amount of dollars to the wide receiver
position or even Brandon Ayuk. So at that point they
look at it and probably say, all right, we're not
going to come to an agreement on a long term
(28:10):
deal anyway. So let's let's see if we can, you know,
let this thing play out. Maybe there's some trade offers,
Maybe we can convince his agent to come down on
a number. Now, Obviously, as you pointed out, as contracts
have continually been signed, it's looked less and less likely
that Ayuk was going to want to take a discount,
(28:30):
So they've stood strong with where they're at and trying
to maximize his ability to go somewhere else and get
the most money. I think that played a role that
probably divide between what a Yuk and his team feel
like he's worth or should be making. In the forty
nine ers, I think the next thing was a really
good draft class of wide receivers. The draft class of
(28:52):
wide receivers that brings in cheaper labor makes it harder
for the forty nine ers and Ayuk's team to find
those destinations where there might be in need. So, you know,
for example, we're talking about the Browns being one of
the teams that would look at, you know, being involved
in this trade. However, would be a swap in order
to get Amari Cooper and the trade off there is,
(29:15):
all right, the forty nine ers get back to having
another guy they feel really good about.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
On the outside. He's just up there in age, but
you know, that player.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Fits what they're looking for, at least in return to
common say what they missed out on the average annual
value of the contract.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I want to say somewhere around twenty million or something.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
I mean, Amari Cooper's numbers for this year are really
really reasonable. I mean it's only about an eight million,
eight point four million dollar cap hit. So if you're
really looking at it from the forty nine ers standpoint,
they lose the right receiver, but they bring in a
Pro Bowl caliber wide receiver who's you know, a very
(29:53):
very cheap and that works.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Hey, you know what's fun Those are the situations they're
looking for.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
We didn't mention New England one time. I'm in the discussion.
We kept it on well the entire time, Okay, all right,
because I know we up against it, but I thought
it was kind of funny that we just say, let's
stay with Amark Cooper and let's stay with let's stay
with Cleveland, because I mean, what who who's throwing the
ball to him? In New England. Is it is it
going to be your guy, Milton or is it going
(30:18):
to be you know, my guy, you know, Drake May
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
You saw what I did. Someone say it's Lee's Lee
and my guy?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah yeah you yeah no.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
But but that's a wide receiver group that I think
after the draft and after you know, they kind of
went through OT's minicamp, some of these teams like we say, hey,
we still feel like we need something. You know that
the Steelers I think were one of the teams who
were rumored to be in there. I want to say
Washington Commandos two were in there as well. So you've
got you got a number of teams who probably evaluated
the roster and said we could use his services. Can
(30:49):
we work out a deal structure that works for you know,
all those parties. And that's where they're at now, and
you're up against the cusp of really playing mediful games.
That's kind of that deadline. But that's at least how
I look at it.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
So he changed there could Brandon I you'd be a
player with the drafting. One of those quarterbacks being whatever
it is they end up being for them at the
starting position. Does a Brandon, I you change the fortunes
of the trajectory of the New England Patriots.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
I think that he helps, right, and whether it's Drake May,
Joe Milton, whoever, he helps. But I'm not sure like
that roster. I mean, here's the hard thing about a
roster that's like that, because you've got some defensive players
who are going to miss time and then they got
some holes in their roster. Clearly as Elliot Wolf at
(31:35):
drawn Malor trying to build this thing back up there,
I don't know there's like one player that's gonna help them,
you know, get over the hump or compete in the
ANFC East the way they'd like to.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
You know, I think there are a number of players away.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
So what's interesting is like, whoever you agreed about long
term deal, you're paying a bunch of money to it
better makes sense. I mean, you at least have this
window of potential rookie quarterbacks on your ross to build
to build the roster, so you better understand how you
want to build that roster with the cap money that
you've got. I mean, that's the one thing about you know,
Robert Kraft is he's not necessarily the cheapest. I mean,
(32:12):
but he's not the guy's gonna spend a ton of
money like Jimmy HASLM is looking too.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Yeah, so it's it's a tough situation. I think for
those guys to build back up that roster.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Be interesting to see where he ends up. It will
be will He's probably gonna be in San fran Yeah,
unless an injury occurs.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
I think he's gonna be somewhere else. You're probably right,
that's happening.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
You're probably right.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
But we'll see Two Pros and a Cup of Joe

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Village out there in Paris.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Uh Peterguayan swimmer Luana Alonso, twenty year old, has been
sent home from the Paris Olympics because of reportedly scandalous
or behavior and skimpy outfits. Some of that behavior includes
going to Disneyland and drinking instead of supporting her teammates
at events, wearing skimpy outfits all around the Olympic village,
and socializing with quote too many athletes.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
All I'll say is congrats to whoever the too many
athletes were. I thought, I hope y'all staying in contact.
I hope that you're encouraging her and giving her the
shoulder that she needs to get over the fact that
she was treated so poorly at the Olympics and the and.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
And that did she win anything while she was there?
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Oh? She won? Uh No, she has not.
Speaker 8 (34:48):
She has won before. She's a two time Olympic medalist.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
But okay, so she's got her medals. So she went back. Look,
that's what did you say? Breed breed? Yes, she went back.
They're saying, I'm gonna find I'm gonna find myself.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
I'm going to spend the rest of my life with
that's also an Olympium and we can feel like we're
genetically superior.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
That's what she went back for. I just say business.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Trips the first time or two, now this became one
that was a little different type of business.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
How old is she? Do we have an idea?
Speaker 4 (35:18):
How old?
Speaker 6 (35:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I have a well, I don't know. He's you know
what I read that she's been to two olymp Olympics,
no wins and she's only twenty.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Yes, that's not possibly what.
Speaker 8 (35:33):
You could compete when she was sixteen.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Uh, that's so you're saying this is her second Olympics.
Speaker 8 (35:39):
That's what it says on her profile and her social media.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Okay, so she's been to one Olympics before this.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yes, oh, this is her second. That's what we're trying
to do. Since that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Okay, we weren't thinking she went as a twelve year old,
right right, right?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
This what all right?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
I got what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Only only China gets accused of putting in athletes before
they're of age.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
To be able to pimp.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Dang. I got to her age. But he's he's happily
dealing and and not what he's doing very.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Well by that relationship. No, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
She's a win. She's a win. She's on she's on
this level. But I tell you what though, See this
is real talk right now though.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
This is what parents start doing. Parents and people. Parents
know that they are listening out there right now. They
want their children to hook you know, find good.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Oh you got to the boys like, I want my
daughters well as well. But the boys like, if you're
going to have an errand you got to keep the
air going. So you know, if you're going to have
a son with the last name Harrington, you had better
have a mom that's worthy of carrying that, you know,
that torch, you know, So there you go, and no,
(36:46):
I'm forge, I'm not. I'm not ashamed of that.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Q Well, speaking of speaking of carrying that torch, we
talked about Anthony I'my Roddy yesterday.
Speaker 8 (36:55):
Yeah, French pol vaulter.
Speaker 5 (36:56):
He's been offered a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
uh job from of course cam cam Soda. They always
come out with these with these stories offering him two
hundred fifty thousand dollars to show your pole skills on camera.
Speaker 8 (37:09):
What is this from Camsoda?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
What does that mean?
Speaker 8 (37:13):
It's a popular triple website.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah, don't can I close this question?
Speaker 4 (37:17):
If his if his calf doesn't clip the bar, does
any of this happen?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Because if not, if it wasn't for his late clipping it,
it would have then kind of wrote up and obviously
clipped his poll.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
But I'm just saying two hundred that's two hundred and
fifty grand to show your pole skills. I mean, I mean,
what's the deal consists of?
Speaker 4 (37:41):
